Sincere Fictions Pt. 2: the Radical Black Man weighs in by Jersey Campbell




In response to the sentiments expressed by the Well-Informed Black Guy, the Radical Black Man reveals his opinions on the state of race relations in America. 

 
Excuse me, for I am no racist (bet the real racists would call me “reverse racist” or some ridiculous shit like that), I simply expose the world to truth. The well-informed Black Guy needs to change his title to “some dumb ass House Negro”, because I have never seen nor heard such malarkey in my life. No, that’s not true; I hear that every time I read the newspaper or turn on the news when the subject broaches race relations. Let me reveal my clean glass of water to you, so that you may recognize your glass as filthy.

Sincere Fictions Pt. 1: as told by some well-informed Black Guy by Jersey Campbell



“Sincere fictions are personal ideological constructions that reproduce societal mythologies at the individual level.”
            Since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, discrimination and racism has come to a screeching halt. It was a major victory for all minorities in America. As a Black Man, I have little to nothing to complain about. I have so many opportunities equal to and sometimes even greater than white people. Affirmative action has provided me, and my fellow Black Americans, with a severely needed boost in employment and housing.

A HUGE friend of Vicarious World (and soon to be contributor) has a couple of blogs we thought you would find interesting. He describes himself as a rebel, with a cause of course. Looks like Jersey Campbell has found a new friend. He writes about social/political/economical issues (and even proposes solutions!), as well as poetry that can make even the most uptight women swoon. Trust us, we don't recommend that which doesn't deserve recommending.

Check out his blogs:

*Vicarious World's Best of the Month*


At the conclusion of every month Vicarious World’s team of writers comes up with a totally arbitrary list of our top blog posts during that time. It is the crème de la crème of Vicarious World, the most noteworthy, thought-provoking 2-3 pages of literature (can we call it that?) that we present to you.
This month, our best of the month includes the safe way to get the youngsters involved in drugs, a surprisingly weak defense for the bad guys, two non-experts debating a semi-serious topic, and a couple of poems that you may want to read in total privacy. Here is the "Best of the Month."
