Mad Man is really mad today. No he is really pissed. Not one TV channel carried the 20 year anniversary of the Million Man March. Yet, on the west coast at least, Mad man was inundated with
the constant banter of the Presidential race which is 13 months away. What makes this so bad, CNN, et al, continued to report the same bullshit regarding the polls and the debates over and over again,
This was brought home more acutely while Mad Man was at the gym today, A white man asked Mad Man what he thought of the police killing all of these Black people. Mad Man's reply was "do you mean the "Black Lives Matter movement? " The man's reply was earth shatteringly simple, he asked, "what's that?"
If one were to pay attention, they would see how little respect the media and white people in general have for anything black. Black Lves matter only in entertainment and sports and even then black people are in the position of slaves.
There is a tremendous effort to down play the Black Lives Matter movement because it highlights, as usual, the inequities, by which the majority of black people must live. White people need black peole to entertain them and fill their prisons and nothing else.
So, as far as Mad Man s concerned, the Black Lives Matter movement will be treated like most movements by black people. It will continue to be viewed as an unreported nuisance.
