Harbingers

After watching Theater of the Absurd last night on television and after first laughing and then becoming very concerned and after writing my early morning blog, I began to wonder.

The Theater had multiple parts starting in the late afternoon with the Chris Matthew Show ending with the hilarious Hannity Show with guest Newt Gingrich. The dialog and logic between Hannity and Newt was an embarrassment. To hear grown, educated men with that kind of verbal exchange was a sight to behold in the 21st century. Even if they were dressed in leopard skin carrying bows and arrows and munching on fresh lizards, their conversation would have been considered degenerate by the elders, shaking their heads in awe!

I strayed. What all of the shows had in common was the theme “How to discipline a Black” and the Black, of course, is Sen. Obama. I note during my late night reading that most Presidential campaigns were bought down by a Black being used: Ragan with “Welfare Queens”; there was the Jesse Helms one of a Black man taking your job and the infamous Willie Horton ad with Michael Dukakis.

Now they want to add “The presumptuous Negro” featuring Barack Obama. We’ll see if that last one will fly. The man said, “We have some difficult times ahead…..” and I say just as we found the covert Bullies on the school playground, we will also find the needle in the haystack, no matter how many, and get America’s shit together.

The internet and the blogosphere are new on the stage of civilization. A Black man running for President of the United State of America is new on the world stage. The “New World Order” has a few years running start.

An artist is considered the harbingers (forerunners, messengers) of a society. Bloggers are writers. Writers are artists. Many of us want Barack Obama to be our next President. “Yes we can!”

Those are the precepts old, Black, uppity me will be working with as we move forward.

-Did you hear that, Kimosabe?
-Here we go again, Tonto. Hold onto your saddle. Another run-a-way cowboy! Another ornery…
-Another cowboy sad’ling up. Let’s go, Kimosabe.

As always,
BB
