X is for all the victims.
The famous ones with the viral videos and the countless others who were senselessly jailed or died screaming without the cameras rolling. Lucky for them, victims of racism-fueled brutality, injustice and inequality go straight to heaven.
How can we know for sure if there is still no available viral footage of them walking, hand in hand, through the gates of heaven? Well, if we’ve learned anything through this painful—yet extremely necessary—saga that continues to play out in real-time, it is that we must make safe assumptions as to what happens when cellphone and security cameras aren’t rolling.
Let me describe the scene for those with pre-smartphone imaginations. George has a big smile on his face. He’s rocking leafy-green Air Jordan 1s with freshly pressed, leafy-green tux. Trayvon, wearing all-white t-shirt and shorts, is spinning a basketball on his index finger while chilling on George’s broad shoulders. There’s even an Eric who looks like he’s going on a well-deserved Hawaiian vacation, wearing a colorful Aloha shirt paired with fitted khaki shorts. He’s sandwiched in between super chatty pair of 20-something girls giggling about his something he said. Most startling of all is that there are no scars of abuse or torture from their previous lives; just smiles–smiles all around.
The Forever Pandemic has killed countless orders of magnitude more than any coronavirus pandemic will or for that matter, all other pandemics in all of history—combined. The Forever Pandemic has killed more than all wars, in all of human history. How can such a virus be allowed to exist for so long—despite all the advancements in human civilization over thousands of years?
I guess there’s only one more question: Anyone know when the Forever Pandemic vaccine is coming out?
