“Them Slaves are Learnin’ to Read!” -Worried Masters
I’m reading a book. This has nothing to do with anything since I read books from time to time. Nothing has struck more of a chord within me like the line that I just read.
“Stop wasting time and your life just so that you have an amusing anecdote.”
It’s all very to-close-to-home, don’t you think? Anyhow, I’m using a computer which once belonged to me and now belongs to the neighbor as a gift for being so kind to me. The last computer I worked on was a dell and it has been demolished by a hammer that was used by him. All an amusing anecdote, really.
It is very similar to when slave owners were angry when they found out the slaves were learning themselves letters. The masters were all like, “You better not learn to read, N word. Knowledge is power and I’m all about white power not regular knowledge as power.”
So the slaves learned how to read and got all smart n’ shit (I’ll take “Frederick Douglass” for $1000, Alex) and then now weeze gotta black president. So, knowledge IS power. Hmmm…
Nearly every day since the floudering marriage turned itself inside out, I have been on every single Australian Family Law site getting my knowledge is the key on. It was like an 80’s montage of a person studying the law (Survey says: “What is 1986’s ‘Soul Man’ starring C. Thomas Howell, & Rae Dawn Chong,” )
Well, after I pulled some “Your honor… come on!! HEARSAY! Let the record reflect! If the glove doesn’t fit!!!….” well, let’s just say MASTER was not pleased with his house negroe.
He promptly took a hammer to my learning tablet. It was his anyway, so no worries, mate.
And here we are. Wasting time while I compose amusing anecdotes. And what I like about this is that my anecdotes are piling up so high that when I sit and tell you these stories in person, you will wish I never came home to the states so you could have peace and quiet.
I need:
Sushi, 1 (large) Sapporro, fluffly dogs to take treats from my mouth in the most unhygienic fashion, my jetta and the blood diamond leather seats, a long jog at cbad beach, HBO, Christmas lights everywhere, my hair done.
I’m Going Going Back Back to Cali Cali…..
