WAS AIDS CREATED BY THE WEST?

I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I think that if there were twelve people in a room running the whole world, they would have fixed all the problems at this point- it would be more cost-effect to do so. However, I have a problem with misinformation and hidden truths. I think history is incredibly important and continues defining the winners and losers in this ongoing rat-race of life. Jared Diamond’s masterpiece, Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies thoroughly settles for all eternity why it is that the West has won this rat-race thus far. The answers are in the title: the West (a pseudonym for Whites) had guns, germs and steel. In fact, Diamond surmises, life in Africa is so difficult that the average African has to be considerably more intelligent than the average European in order to simply survive. In this brilliant work you should all go and read immediately, Diamond completely rebuts that accursed work of fiction, “The Bell Curve.” Face it, whether or not you like/understand their clothes (or lack thereof) or their customs, Africans are probably smarter.

Sunday morning. I am thinking about Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Obama, the Citizens Group That Will Not Forgive Special Privileges for Koreans in Japan (Zaitokukai), over-farming of fish, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, genocide in Darfur, net neutrality, America’s prison industrial complex, the prisoners at Guantanamo for 8 years now? I’m thinking of all the problems I cannot even name because I can’t remember them all or haven’t learned of them yet. Deforestation, the continuing destruction by oil companies of land and water- especially worse in non-Western countries, young girls being kidnapped and made sex-slaves, people dying of drug overdoses, the complete destruction of the African-American family structure by prison, unemployment, poverty all over the world, the North Korean repression of its people, police brutality, capital punishment, femicide, gender inequalities, Josef Fritzl’s family.

Artist’s Note:
The N-word is defined as any “victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised”. The title of this work comes from one of the poems within, titled “Shoes”, which discusses the author’s overwhelming wish to save and uplift all disenfranchised people of the Earth and to change the structures which instigate inequality.
