DID I MISS THE REVOLUTION?

Was it televised?

I am simply marveling in the fact that an undecidedly unqualified, not exactly politically desirable candidate has made it to the “championship game,” and that said candidate is Black. Too rich. I am talking about what everyone is talking about: Alvin Greene. The dishonorably discharged unemployed veteran is making headlines for his lackadaisical campaigning in addition to his criminal charges. I guess gone are the days when Blacks have to be twice, or even three times as good as the next (white) man to make it.

I’m not applauding Greene’s criminal record (showing pornography to a 19-year-old college student). Nor am I too pleased with the fact that he did very little campaigning (he missed a couple of scheduled events)—even though he is unemployed (say what?). What I do like is this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that miracles do in fact happen; you see I had given up here recently, sans the Celtics loss to the Lakers and a number of other situations located closer to home than I would like…

Trying not to highlight the brother’s negative issues, but you have to admit, it seems crazy to have this much going against you and still be able to make the cut. It’s almost ridiculous. Still, I am slightly to almost partially inspired. You see if only for a moment in time, Alvin Greene is the reason you never give up—ever. You hang in there and fight the good fight until you are about to pass out. For decades there have been people of color who were clearly better choices for a job, politic office, buy a home—whatever, were turned down, turned out and turned away. Greene proves that sometimes, the underdog does win despite having a really bad case of fleas…

Axe.
