What day is this?
Monday, MLK Day
What did he do?
He gave the "I have a dream" speech
What did he say in that speech?
Ahhh .... mmmmmm....? errrrr......dunno!
He said Black people and white people
oughtta hold hands. It was a thunderclap.
It had never been said before, and certainly
not with the whole world watching and listening.
Of course that's what secretly or not so secretly
had been going on all along as every intelligent
and observant person in America knew full well.
MLK had in mind a metaphor, not to offend the
ignorant, but as he said explicitly he was in a
reckless mood that day and his quivering voice
could be plainly heard by all.
He paid the price for such truth-telling. Guns
were bought. Rifles too.
The interbreeding, a virtual conflagration, was
announced long agoby William Faulkner. We'd
"Bleach out like rabbits" he wrote.
There are certain places in Los Angeles County
where the bodies of the close to African forms
are still walking around. So beautiful! And so
stunning because for most of us not seen every day.
The women enter the mainstram as, for example,
cashiers in Discount stores. You'd better not
patronize them, they'll bite your head off. One
extremely reckless day I blurted out, "You're a
very beautiful woman." Guess what she said?
She said, so kind, "Thank you." PERFECT!
