"Law is the agent of those in political power; it is the product of those powerful enough to define right and wrong and to have that definition legitimized by 'law.'" - Kwame Ture & Charles V. Hamilton, "Black Power"
Re: K*rk Fr*nkl*n and son, there is a certain irony in decrying the public exposure of their conflict but thinking nothing of the grist mill of celebrity culture that makes icons of human beings. We culturally support mythmaking while despising hard ethical evaluation.
Imagine admitting that the exposure of our deepest flaws, ugly mistakes, and intentional wrongs is embarrassing rather than first debating how/why they became public.
Sometimes I think about how folks whoop their kids because they can’t whoop a racist, capitalist society that’s been actively whooping them into trauma and despair every day of their lives.
But seriously, the way folks say "these are unprecedented times" while covertly maintaining precedented expectations/demands is beyond me. Which is it, fam?!? Make it make sense!
