It's been a while since I've last logged onto BlackPlanet. I bring thi up because my BP screename is "activist." Activism is a term I customarily consider to mean going against the gran or tranditions for something in which you believe is justified. A recent article in the NY Times, So Who Are the Activists?, took an different route to assess the activism of the Supreme Court and its findings, while probably unnerving, make sense given the methodology and the 'common sense' required to reach sucha conclusion.
On the other activist front, I am appreciative of the media coverage for yesterday's Peace Walk by both all three of the local daily papers; Herald, Globe, and Metro. But there were more than just Cape Verdeans there. It ain't an isolated situation at all. Next step, we need to get my man Big Shug to stop referring to Mattapan as MurderPan. And even before that, how about the teenager on the bike that rolled up with some G-Unit shorts on; with glocks stitiched all over the place. Or how about this cat from the Globe article, "One man wore a black T-shirt with a blue Welcome to Dorchester sign on the front. Scrawled on the sign were the words ''Welcome to The Hood . . . No snitching." Silly muthafuqas...man i tell ya...an endless muthafuqing cycle.
