Charleston

the hillbilly redneck's worse nightmare -- intelligent, well-bred highly evolved African-Americans

interesting that a group of intelligent, thoughtful black men and women are just "randomly" gunned down

there are lots of them, too -- all the more surprising and magical considering the extra layers of Hell they have to go through to "get there"

. . . and please, spare me the "everybody has the same even playing field" rhetorical bull shit -- because that is simply not true

interesting, indeed that people "like this" would arouse such hatred

especially a thoughful intelligent man of God such as Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who in addition to his position in the church was also a state senator

shades of Dr. King :(

so I am inclined that the "thought" for this crime was "planted" in the killer -- and the killing was designed to stir stuff up

there is a famous quote to the effect that I don't trust a man who doesn't like animals, but I trust my dog if he doesn't like you !!

I sort of feel this way about "white churches" and "black churches" because I have been in both

and in white churches, I typically cant wait to get home to wash the shit off and smudge myself

such self-congratulatory hypocrisy -- this is my typical experience

but in "black churches", I feel differently . . . I feel an actual spiritual presence as if they actually believe what they're saying

so if I was forced to go to church and there was a black congregation on one side of the street and a white one on the other, 95 % of the time I will choose the black congregation in a NY minute

this is heart-breaking to me in so many ways

the last thing I thought about before I went to bed, the first thing I thought about this morning

this shit has to end

there is a long long "dark history" with this

it has to fuckn end :(
