new new shit: the john brown awards?

as you may or may not know ... i am trying to forgive white people ...

i am not quite there yet ... more than a lil bit ... to go

however! i am co-signing for this blog written by melissa harris-lacewell ... i am not sure i think edwards should get one but the fact that i am open to this concept at all is a signifier that i am growing ... my heart is opening ...

i really wanna love white people. for all the opposite reasons that most people love them. i want to love them for their shortcomings and their evil ways. the way jesus would? anyways ... i think john brown awards are a good idea ...

i just hope white people and black people and all other people don't start to take it too serious. cuz then there will be fights about who hands out the awards, what is the criteria, where the red carpet will be (marcy projects or cabrini green?) ... you know how white people created formal bureaucracy ... ooops there i go again - generalizing :)

i'd rather white people just go john brown on us than get preoccupied with receiving accolades from black people.

go BE the next john brown!
