This story is slanted more than a chinaman's eyes. It's spun more than Jack Kerouac on benzedrine.

With this sort of connect the dots approach you could look at the Roman military putting down slave revolts and compare that to modern professional armies being rooted in slavery.

Which they were often, because yeah, you used armed men to put down slave revolts and capture slaves. What else would you use, a fruit basket with a note kindly asking people to do as you say?

She might be honored to be compared with Beat literary culture. Bennys were such an important part of US popular culture - especially in the music industry - well into the 1970s.

Yes, she selected examples, out of context, for the discussion, as part of a comedy sketch.

She noted her potential approach to 'white history month' whereas some on Saidit would have alternative ways of celebrating during the month. Perhaps storm the Capitol building or burn a few crosses. So many additional options for white history month.

I thought it might be a comedy sketch but I wasnt sure.

We still have amphetamine sulfate around, just comes as part of Adderall now.

You know, I don't think I've ever done anything particular for black history month. If they want me to celebrate they're gonna have to give me a 3 day weekend.
