There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
by Shel Silverstein
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people
march:
“Where to? what next?”
— Carl Sandberg

Tried to watch OTA (over the air) TV the other night. Not possible. Negro’s on just about every channel. We only watch 1 hour of TV, during supper, and it is always an old TV series episode in one of the 3 DVD players or through a streaming service. Last night for example was a Perry Mason epi from the 5th season, 1961 I think. The night before was a Paladin from Have Gun, Will Travel, from the same time period. Tonight will be Peter Gun from the same era. The media is trying to create a fake reality and it doesn’t work for some folks. We just distance ourselves from it.
We’ve been watching the whole Leave it to Beaver series. Almost done with it, probably the end of the week. On season 6. Back then, they had 39 episodes per season, not just 13 like the lazy bastards do now.
I prefer-
Black
Lying
Marxists
…no room in marxism for anything but marxism. and I don’t want it.
Looked at Ace of Spades coverage of the Grammy awards this weekend. Stunning vulgarity and smut.
I’m wondering if the reason blacks were under represented on TV before this era was that they didn’t ‘clean up’ to well.
If God decides to go all “Sodom and Gomorrah” on America, he’ll be in a target rich environment.
Ghost, I feel ya. Gave up on the networks some time back. Some of the British period productions have not been blackwashed. We’ve been enjoying “Anne with an E” on NF right up until the first episode of season 2 when the first negro makes an appearance. Of course they couldn’t find an excuse to make one appear, as if by magic, in turn-of-the-last-century Nova Scotia, so they put one of the characters aboard a steamer as crew in the black gang where he befriends one of the exotic critters, and they travel to Trinidad where all the usual story tropes of injustice to blacks raise their ugly heads. Looking forward in the reviews it seems we are soon to be entertained with stories of homosexuals and how good people in 1910 respond to them in a way eerily akin to the way “good” people are supposed to in 2021. Hard pass on that. There is still some decent material out there, it’s just getting harder every day to separate from the chaff.
