What Does Oppression Look Like?

If our two young men return in coffins, the steel-like �patriotism� of wartime counselors, generals, and presidents, will be represented by the metals decorating the uniforms concealing the horrific wounds they sustained and the local press will print the word �hero� alongside their names. But only family and the community of friends and neighbors speak of �love� and their humanity.

And the �Black� president will continue to speak of �smart� drones because he is a �smart� man and solitary confinement or coffins is all the same means of keeping Goldman Sachs and Larry Summers in pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Barrack Obama collected, last year alone, 220 million dollars for his war chest, mostly from super PACs and independent groups (Huffington Post, January 12, 2012). Our two young men behind me, �alive,� would defend Obama.
