Will TRAYVON, or the ROYAL BABY PINCE "Define" the 21st Century??
The juxtaposition of the "Royal Birth", with the aftermath of the murder trial of TRAYVON, provides an opportunity to examine closely how we "value" children (and, thereby, all persons) in our "Western Culture" -- in these early days of the 21st century. It occurs to me that we have two very different "uses" for these individuals.
One will be used to continue the practice of "subjugation" by certain humans over all others; while the other, simply served as representative of the "other"; those persons assigned to absorb all of the world's abuses and scorn.
Even a casual contrast of the performance of our Media in relation to these events, occurring almost simultaneously, should keep us from continuing to ignore this scary reflection of who we are.
One mother will be pampered and praised, while the other must continue her heroic fight to protect the image of her son, while the Media relentlessly strives to denigrate the child, even in death. The bravery of that murdered child is beyond question. The behavior of the "justice system" and mass society can only be described as "reprehensible"; although not unexpected.
From the scenes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (where are the Angelitos Negros ??) to the events in Florida, the picture is consistent. Zimmerman was part of this fabric. His lineage predetermined his actions; as theirs did, for those attorneys (on both sides) in the trial, the judge, and the women of the jury. Our cruel beliefs and practices echo down through time; within the "users", and the innards of the people who are "used" or "abused". We are programmed to "set upon" one another in various ways.
I don't believe this world will continue to suffer these "uses" for our children; who come to us without any of these burdens. We place them upon our children, and we must stop it before its too late! Technology (nuclear and microelectronic) has produced the "firepower" for our total destruction! Time is short.
Stay Vigilant! "Celebrate" ALL Children, with respect. Demand accountability from all persons!
