wake up nigger

and now that i have your attention...i'm sure that everyone who should know about the issues i'm having with my professors (see "school spirit muhfugha")... so it should be of no surprise that when i found that article i'd be almost giddy with glee. not because it proved i was right (i never need proof) but because it showed students what the real deal was. now mind you, i'm a member of an honor society here in the department, so you'd expect the more enlightened ones to be able to sit there, read the article and have something great to contribute. now mind you, i don't expect everyone to have the same views as i do, simply because that's just not feasible. i do however, expect people with a pulse to know when they're being used as variables in a damn experiment. someone in particular read the article and said,(i paraphrase)" you know what, i still like dr.(). i think you're blowing this whole thing out of proportion. i haven't had that experience with dr.(), so i can't be offended or otherwise swayed by this article, in fact i think it's positive." positive?POSITIVE??!! you can't be serious. then i looked at their face and they were i was shocked. appalled. dumbfounded. but then i thought about who it was and things just clicked. that person is asleep. and not so much physically. but she's what i like to call an "intellectual narcoleptic." they have periods when their intellect is otherwise indisposed... on snooze... hence the narcolepsy. and it's sad because at times like these, we need the smart ones to step up, unite and proceed to make positive, lasting changes in the way we live and what is this individual doing? uncle tomming?

my point is, we all have to wake up at one point or another. which would you rather do? have reality handed to you in a tangible form or fall flat on your ass because you've been rejected by those same people you thought were so "positive." wake up nigger. or everything you thought was sooooooooooo positive and great will run your ass over. and then again, you never experienced jim crow, was that positive? you never experienced the bubonic plague ,was that positive? you never lived through a world war, was that positive? and you weren't a slave, was that positive? were those things "blown out of proportion"? nigger wake up and give all of us a break from having to shake you to get you to see the shit you should smell festering beneath your nostrils.
