"Racism will disappear when it’s no longer profitable, and no longer psychologically useful. And when that happens, it’ll be gone. But at the moment, people make a lot of money off of it."
-Toni Morrison




"You got that right. Can I get an Amen?!!"
-"Reverend" J. Jackson


"Amen!"
-Al Sharpton

I guess she was a big deal? In the African American community??

But I never O.N.C.E. heard of her until this week...

I musta missed her? At the KENNEDY CENTER SPECIAL ON PBS CEREMONY WHEN BARRY OBAMA WAS GIVING HER A MEDAL FOR HELPING THE BLACK COMMUNITY...AT THE EXACT SAME TIME ( I was being Gangstalked incessantly from 2012-2017)
WHILE THAT PRIIIIICK BARRY WAS GIVING ME...MR.JONES
"THE GREENLIGHT" for death for no real reason except they couldn't find one at all...and had spent over $52 million doing it...

Maybe Toni Morrison shoulda' taken up another MODERN DAY CAUSE? IT'S CALLED:
" TARGETED INDIVIDUALS " BEING MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY THE FBI- Special Surveillance Group Division...
It's WAY MORE RELEVANT TODAY THAN GOING BACK 200 YEARS TO FIND OPPRESION AND WRONG DOING...

IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS..

TONI can K.M.L.W.P.J.A.

tail got a pity post from Jonesey!

Bwuhahahahahahahahaha!

Yep...he did..

but I also wanted to make a REALLY GOOD POINT about misguided whine-ning and past history when you can help severely oppressed people of ALL RACE, CREED AND COLOR RIGHT NOW...IN THE PRESENT ..
Like August 8, 2019...
TODAY

PARANOID LIVES MATTER!!!!

RIP Toni!

Never heard of him or her

Didn't he get beat up by Mike Tyson, and end up with AIDS?

this was the reaction in the black community when _____(fill in blank with a Nobel Prize prize winning white author)____ died...without the made up purposely insulting commentary...

not a lot of cross culturalism going on in this melting pot of ours...everybody's too proud of their own, except in athletics ... and even there some people root for/against the kneelers ...and I'm stuck with Confucius...

let's reach across cultures and read one of her books: "Beloved" or "Song of Solomon"?...anybody in?

I used to get my multi cultural from MAD magazine. ..the multi cultural comic strip SPYvs.SPY....black vs white...a story for the ages...


[sarcasm] ...again, just in case

Read Song of Solomon but has been a really long time. Agree with Delta's sentiment. Whether she hit on your must read list or not doesn't preclude the fact that a significant creative mind has now moved on

and it's not like 98.2% here have read Faulkner, Fitzgerald, or even Hemingway...despite smoking cigars made in his honor

true...forgot the literacy level here...not a wide list of participants in the "Watcha Reading" thread....gotta keep that in mind...thanks...

which don't mean stoopid either...

"Moby D:ck" was an expansive experience...

Thanks, Frank. I used keep putting Light in August out on the 'main' shelf...had every intention of reading it again. Been over 30 years, but I remember when I finished it the first time, I said, "I'm need to read that again." Maybe I'll start it this weekend.

Pass the Grey Poupon.

Toni and her followers

Still

K.M.L.W.P.J.A. and my nasty trash day starfish...

Wise words.
Unfortunately, in the age of mass hysteria, none of us will see that day

so...the NAACP can cross Mr. Jones off their donor lists...
