From Astrodome Refugee
Interviews: One Black Note
by Richard Oxman
At 8400 Kirby Drive in Houston
the Astos no longer play...but the scorecard just came in
with the busloads from New Orleans. No mere bleating this
time.
The scoreboard is all it up with
their beating.
The arrivals are almost all
dark-skinned, hoary and hoarse with the endless pains. Very
plain issues. But the single biggest buzz among our newest
wetbacks (blacks) is that the Bush administration diverted
repair $$$ from the Dead City's levee improvement kitty,
making the avoidable inevitable. For Iraq funding...and
"security."
What you won't hear discussed
much, if at all, on mainstream outlets is what they talked
about on the ride.
They feel they've been taken for
a ride, and that the momentum is being set up for that scam
to continue.
But they -- enough of them --
intend to do something very dark to counteract that official
force. Darker than the looting being spotlighted (for
transparent reasons). More black than anything the
well-intentioned will see, let alone acknowledge, as they
write their relief checks.
Even if the Recession Europeans
are predicting gets to us first (and worldwide Depression
follows), the aphotic depths of depravity now let loose will
come home to roost like prodigious poultry with avian
flu...the most virulent kind. And turn out many lights.
There's a Black Meeting...a
bleeding we can no longer avoid.
