I know you sick of this, name brand nigga wit
flows girls say he's sweet like licorice
So get with this nigga, it's easy
Could these lines have been written about Donald Trump? There isn't a publication out there that would publish those words, even if they were otherwise fit to print in terms of ideas. Calling someone a nigger is against the rules. But who decides what is politically correct? Is it done by consensus, or are their ideas, leaders, philosophies that are dominant. Is it simply the cream rising to the top?
The word poets have been printing money playing with these rules, making the most of taboo, even embracing it as their own identity, much like a cancer destroys its host. Is it taboo if everyone is doing it? Trump has succeeded in the same way, he pivots around the ideas that make up "common sense," and has made political capital out of the failures of the system that we are all apart of. People reject his membership in the system, and that only increases the power of his pivot. "The election is rigged." Every election is rigged: there has to be an outcome. People don't vote, and then afterwards, the election disappears. No, there is a winner. More specifically, there are many cases of gerrymandering (shout out to Rep. Lamar Smith and your bullshit district). How can we deny that there are shortcomings? How do we decide that transgender bathrooms are a higher priority than feeding children, global warming, or how to fund schools?
Imagine two communities, both in decline after their sole source of jobs has disappeared. Now imagine that one community is full of bigots, and that the other isn't. If you could only help group, which one would it be? Hopefully you're wondering about the other attributes of these two places to help you decide. I'm not suggesting that bigots have been ignored economically because they are bigots, but that ideas clump together. Even if the people in charge are representative, they are human, we are all human. They make mistakes, but what mistakes do they make? Trump connected some dots, and even if it ugly in my opinion, it definitely has legs. Any political success should be taken seriously.
Well if them whiters got something against colors then they don't deserve anything. Let em rot, cut off my nose and spite my face. Those people don't deserve anything. Hey, why'd we send all of our jobs to communism and slavery. We could have kept all that right here, we coulda been the slaves, we coulda taken the money straight from the feds like we used to for the communism part. People are people, unless they use racial slurs, then we can discard all of their ideas along with their humanity. Let's just vote against them and consider our responsibilities fulfilled. That's how democracy works. We vote and we win and then the losers lose and we exist as two separate halves, together, peacefully, taken for granted.
Having topics or words that we can't mention, how is that an open discussion? How can the agenda be fairly set when the parameters are already decisively narrowed?
Remediation methods: The stereotypes, the media, the methods, they should all be subverted. Isolate the bigots, send them to live with the people they hate, alone. Film it, make TV, sell the ads, whatever. How about a hollywood movie with an all black cast? How about Ru Paul for President? Most importantly, this doesn't have to challenge the system: people will pay to watch entertaining shit, especially if it is the only shit they can buy, and they love to buy shit.
