Honorable Jason Kenny, Unacceptable Language and Inhuman Cultural Practices

If I was some pious individual, I’d have agreed with American Evangelical Christians, or fundamentalists I should say, that the world is coming to an end. Well, the world is not coming to an end. It’s just that we’ve become so narcissistic or solipsistic that we assume the centre of the universe is ‘us’; whoever the ‘us’ is.

There’s a host of ridiculous things we do or say but because we are the ones doing them, we ignore or see past their ridiculousness.

Whether it’s racially sensitive individuals complaining about Brad Paisley’s and LL Cool J’s provocative and audacious song ‘accidently Racist,’ or it’s Canadian Minister of Immigration, Jason Kenny, using an ancient language to describe a filthy cultural practice, I know the world is sick.

Hiding Within the Status Quo

No one has ever changed anything by being stuck within the status quo. And no one has ever changed anything by following the rules set within any given exclusive system; especially rules that are meant to make sure some people stay where they are required to say.

However, this is a state of mind that many people wouldn’t venture into because of the cost that comes with it.

So accept the status quo and stay ‘[p]eaceful!’

For those, who are informed about the affairs of the world, and those who live in North America, this concept is easy to grasp. We have institutionalized hatred (which is called racism); institutionalized inferiority, which is projected as superiority and the [accepted] place of the Capitalist Czars. The words of the Czars sound sweet even when they are imbecilic.

What is sad is the extent to which people internalize some truisms even when such truisms are meant to make them appear stinky. This is either a question of powerlessness or one’s inability to be critical about issues.
