EPISODE 2
There is a question that seems to have grown in popularity in recent weeks..."is this America?" This question was posed by one of the brave Capitol Hill policemen during the attempted coup on January 6th. It seems that numerous insurrectionists spewed racist vitriol(shhh-they called him nigger) at him as they plundered the beacon of democracy in search of individuals to kill. "AKA", addresses that question by addressing the continuing hatred, lack of respect and the complete disdain that certain sectors of America possesses for Blacks, irrespective of their status, accomplishments and the positions that we hold.
This piece, "AKA", is significant because it is the vehicle that I used to introduce my alter ego, Slater Hayes, to the world.
So, in answer to the question-"...is this America?"- I pose a question of my own..."when has it not been America?" For as long as Blacks have been in this country there has been a continuing effort to degrade and minimize the black man's importance and role within society and his family by using derogatory terms to describe or define us.
There should be no surprise when the former question is answered in the affirmative-YES, THIS IS INDEED AMERICA!!
Just pause for a moment and...LISTEN!!
