RE: OSCARS
I am no film buff and never watch the Oscars, last night I happened to
arrive in the pub just as that colored actress was doing her crying act. As
such, I am no expert at films although I really do like the Seven Samurai
and good political movies. We have very little access to anything beyond the
most mundane of movies here.
I think that these oscars were stage-managed to act as a self-defence to
counter external threats. Like they gave a lifetime award to Sidney
Poitier - did anyone watch that film they showed about how black people owed
everything to him. I don't think that this just happened this year. Then
there was some English character saying that the USA is the most generous
nation on the earth - the whole place got collectively sick. The overcome
Black actress was absolutely nauseating (they cut her more extreme comments
out of the show); she really ruined my pint of Guinness.
What I'm saying is that throwing a few trinkets to the black underclass is
an attempt to unify the country when it feels under threat. The USA is quite
dangerous right now because the public seems to be paranoid - they think
everyone is out to get them. This isn't helped by the Government raising the
prospects of a nuclear attack to justify nuking (for real) the Iraqis.
I think that Uncle Joe got it right when he said that the US is now leaving
White Supremacism for a mix of God and the Fetishisation of the Individual -
this has been happening a while but this just puts a nail into the coffin.
Domhnall.
