I got a call today from an old friend, an English fellow whose father is Black from the East Indies and mother was white from Britain. When we met in Hawaii, his hair was dreaded, he loved Bob Marley and smoked ghanja whenever possible (he still does... and he drinks). So, today I get a drunken call from this geezer and immediately it turns into a heated debate. Apparently, these days he's become a right-wing conservative after a short marriage to a community activist from San Francisco who identifies herself as Progressive. The right-wingers are so full of shit! If you disagree with them, show them ten different reasons why they're full of crap,.. they bitch and scream "Communist!" without ever having read one line of Marx. I was trying to explain that if the protesters in Wisconsin were to allow themselves to get fucked in the ass, then that sets the precedent for future, royal ass-fucking of the working class and whatever is left of the middle-class. I continued to press the idea that people like him are continually taking positions against their own interests and for the interests of the few rich and the many coroporations. What really made me angry - which ended the conversation - was his insistence that Mid-Easterners are "backward" and we should fear them for they are "imposing the Caliphate and taking over the world". If Mid-Easterners are so backward, then why fear a backward peoples since they're too stupid and backward to do anything, let alone take over the world? Such nonsense! What the fuck do you do when your friend turns Right and is so fucking wrong? --------------------- |
