African Cab Driver: United States 101 Lesson

-
The blue line in Chicago had a wreck at O'hare, so I decided to take a cab instead of the train and the cab driver was from Cameroon. I told him that I've never been to Africa, or anywhere overseas really, and I started to tell me how I really should go abroad since it would help me to appreciate the essence of the United States. He said there is no other country with such a system, and when I asked him to explain it he said the following, "In this country, if you want something you just go get it. You just have to follow the rules, and if you try to take shortcuts you will probably get caught. In other countries there are too many roadblocks and regulations",  What a lesson! If you want something just go get it. No complaining, no excuses, just go get it! Another inspiring lesson from an African cab driver.

Visit to Cairo

Racism is most acute when directed against one’s own race.  Yuri Slapanovich – August 1971, Family of Man Commune in Marble Mount, Washington. People tend to think that internalized racism is mostly the domain of pasty white teenage girls who want to appear blacker than they are, but is usually outgrown by the time they reach thirty years of age or so. If it persists beyond thirty then usually the individual is deemed to be marginal in the mental arena, but before then it is tolerated, never appealing, but tolerated. In the case of Leroy Coleman, it was never outgrown, and the devastating results can still be seen today according to the elderly woman I spoke with on the steps of the Mighty Rivers Worship Center in Cairo on March 26 th , 2017.  A long trip is in store for me on this Sunday morning, and unless I’m headed west it always starts with the not so mundane drive through downtown Mount Horeb.   The traffic is backed up again, not due to an overabundance of ...

My Visit to Anna, Illinois - July 18, 2017

Anna Illinois July 18, 2017 Illinois looms larger today than it usually does, since normally it is merely a pass-through state en-route to a more exciting destination. When I say Illinois, the city of Chicago and the surrounding area are excepted due to the stark geographic, demographic, and cultural differences between the two.   If you were to draw a straight line from Apple River to Sheldon, everything to the south and west of that line is what I consider true Illinois, with the exception of Champaign and East St. Louis. The rest is the city state of Chicago, so going forward when I refer to Illinois you’ll know to remove Chicago and the surrounding area normally referred to as Chicagoland, and should actually be called the state of Chicagoland.    Illinois therefore is a massive expanse of flat farmland in the northern half and resembles hilly western Kentucky in the south, but in either case there are few notable cities, but today there is ONE notable ci...

My Visit to Eugene

“Eugene is a Petri dish, where the Federal Government is the bacteriologist, removing all constraints from the sample population in order to view American anarchy. Kind of like Lord of the Flies with Adults.”  – Local resident outside the Wandering Goat in Whiteaker neighborhood of Eugene. Flying into Portland I can’t seem to get Carolina Pi out of my mind   from last week’s visit to   Cairo (Illinois) . If you remember from my last posting Carolina was about to tell me about what happened to Bobby Albright, but in order to do so she had to talk about the epileptic Catholic girl Mary Anne Piano.   Apparently Mary Anne had a fatal seizure where Albright left her, sans undergarments, right there in the linen closet at Manser’s place after the party and when her brother Johnny found out he took it real hard. After the funeral, like a couple days later, Johnny found Albright in the auto repair garage where Bobby worked and starting beating him with a ...
