Unkind Words: Why can’t I hate you?
Why can’t I hate you?!
- Patrice O’neal
Preface: I googled the subtitle to make sure it linked to Patrice O’Neal but it cites some *****y trope about a character’s want to hate but not being able to because of inner turmoil. This is somewhat similar but the turmoil doesn’t come from lack of will but from a society that doesn’t allow oneself to express the hate in their heart. RIP Patrice. You *** ***k.
There’s in the current zeitgeist an axiom that will remain until exhausted
That says if we don’t allow the hate to fester, it will eventually dissipate
And all that remain will be love and positivity
My money is on hate never dissipating. On the hate remaining. On the hate persisting. On hate winning.
And my money is on it, not because I’m good with money (I’m as good at it as I am with commas), but because I want hate to win.
I want my hate to be validated.
I hate racism and inequality. But my hate for it will not conquer it. Neither will my ignorance of it.
What will conquer is persistence, grit, dedication, a backbone, moxie.
And so my persistence of hate will persevere.
And thus I hate.
Shared missed memories — garf to know you
Decisions made — making theory trivial
Dances of fools outlasting
the brilliance of breakthroughs
Drums beating until the hot goes to sleep
Making
Making pragmatism
Decisions making the subjective objective
Decisions marking the beat for the next movement
The next genre
