Regarding Kramer, I wasn't very clear as to what I was trying to say. Actually, I just didn't conclude my main point in defending the logic of his argument.

Richards was not trying to shock anybody; this should be clear to anyone who took the time to watch the clip a few times. When he said (I'm paraphrasing) "Yeah, you're brave now! Fifty years ago you were the ones who watched your steps in front of us" though I believe he may have mentioned hangings or something else very ugly and hence, out of bounds. But the gist is bulls-eye. You're tough now when you didn't used to be and the only reason you've been pushing us around is because we were paralyzed by guilt. That's not to say that black pride is false for all one need to do is look into the boxing ring of a Championship bout and see whose dominated that sport (but now look at how brown it's getting and to a lesser extent, though under this scope: monumental, how white it's been getting on ocassion as of late. Include or don't include the Russian Champs). But the majority of black America, due to the narrative that's promoted by civil right's leaders and rap artists, believes that they have conquered a weaker white counterpart and they delight in celebrating this. Check that, to celebrate implies a sudden realization or a victory or even an epiphany; the point is: that would require an honest appraisal of history. And that's something they are not burdened with. AND THAT'S A FACT!!!

Since we are all forced to work together (even in the Military which is usually allowed special pretexts due to the value our Fasco-Capitalists society places on that department) you cannot simply say: "Jimmy, just go about your daily life and don't let it bother you." That's a coward speaking OR someone too stupid too realize the origins OR WORST OF ALL, a sharp individual whose morality and ethics are derived from a Corporate mindset and as such, will bury what they were taught as a child, turn their back on their own traditions and whore themselves out to play the game. Sound like anyone you know?

So, I believe, Kramer had simply had enough of this false machismo at his expense and decided to lay down what he felt based on what he was taught. I don't want him to be remembered as a hero because he was certainly not heroic. BUT, he did say something that needed saying.

We'll see what happens to Dog but I think he's fucked as well. But they'll go too far with the next one. In fact, the whole Dog thing may be brilliant strategy. His own home, man. He can say whatever he wants. Can't he?
