If one hears the derogatory word, nigger, spoken in anger by a person with white skin, the outrage is instant. The word, nigger, is a power word of control for those who control who or what can utter such a word.
If one sees and hears a speech from David Hogg, and then see how he raises his clenched fist into the air… All while ranting about guns… the first thought I had was of Nazi propaganda before and during WWII. The second thought concerned communist China and Russia.
Guns. Hammers. Knifes. Poison. Car. Baseball bat… Which of these words offend you the most? None? All? Or maybe the first four because of the harm they can do to life?
Here is the real truth about the hot topic: Gun Control. The two words are not meant to be used together. People afraid of and/or against gun ownership really want to say, Gun Ban, Gun Elimination. And what they really want is what the majority of humans want… Control.
Every person alive controls to some degree, their environment around them. Even prisoners behind bars control their environment.
The real truth is: Humans crave, covet,desire, need, act upon, the word c-o-n-t-r-o-l.
If it were not guns it would be something else. Look at gluten? Look at cigarettes? Look at anything to include morality, social conditioning, politics… Every person/group posturing for the position of power.
It is so apparent in the viewing of David Hogg and his words followed by the support of the crowds who want to jump onto the bandwagon of power… It is not gun control he craves, no, far from it, it is the power of attention he is now in the midst of.
