Finally, we can devote a little quality time to the topic I have been trying to unpack since Monday. So, I noticed the monopoly board game on the desk in my office at work. Whatever. After some indeterminable amount of time and for reason unknown (probably boredom) I proceeded around the desk to closely inspect the game, simultaneously not caring anything about the game and curious enough to give it a good twice or thrice over. Again, I suspect boredom was the culprit here, stoking a moot, empty curiosity in me that was to only cost a couple of calories of my biology and minutes, if lucky, of my time (it was close to the end of my duties for the day). Upon glancing down, with care, I spy the picture of an American family, prominent, on the cover of the game; black gentleman father, blond, white lady mother, and two beautiful children, both genders represented. That graphic dealt me a mild shock, honestly and a pleasant one for sure. I guess that is a little example of the dynamic nature of race and the perceptions of race and relationships in this country. A similar experience occurred last week with the commercial containing the interracial couple engaged in a deep and deeply passionate kiss. The nature of the World is flux; thusly, I must stay on the move...and my language and intellection as well.
I am alone in the Lounge now, no other bodies, save the friendly and sexy ones behind the bar to distract the Cult. Love that...
