am aware that we have black members here,so remember that this is not an attack on you specifically.
While space exploration is fascinating to me, perhaps it's worthwhile considering the contextual relevance in terms of the straw that broke the camel's back. Note this was written about the moon landing nearly 50 years ago:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while Whitey's on the moon)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause Whitey's on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause Whitey's on the moon?)
I was already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that shit wasn't enough
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hm! Whitey's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)
The geographical scale of the current riots is most concerning, but it seems like there are so many facets and sub-facets and opportunism and splinter groups that there are many actors involved. The above poem juxtaposes two groups from one perspective - if it were to be re-written today I think there could also be a lot of '/' groups in addition to Whitey including e.g. poor/homeless/jobless/addicts/refugees/disenfranchised/<insert more>.
