12:27p	A 'blatant display of racism' Every day for nearly a week, Manette Sharick and her 3-year-old daughter, Zhuri, drew "Black Lives Matter" in chalk across the sidewalk outside their home in Concord, California. But every time they wrote the message, they woke up the next morning to find that the word Black, and only that word, had been erased. "I just wanted to teach my daughter that Black lives matter, Black culture matters, Black communities matter, and that we are the movement for Black lives," Sharick, who is Black, told CNN. "I was shocked that someone could be purposefully doing this. It hurt a lot, it made me extremely upset." Following three days of what she called "overwhelming frustration," Sharick wrote the message in direct view of her security camera. That's when she saw a man she says she never met and only knows as Jim, pouring water over the message. In a video Sharick recorded on her phone after running out to confront him, the man tells her that he will continue to remove the word "as long as she keeps on doing this." "I was only pouring across the word Black because I believe that all lives matter," Jim told CNN affiliate KGO. "I don't care what nationality, sexual orientation or any of that, we are all human beings." Current Mood: amused (Comment on this)
9:12p	Carlo Raimondo Michelstaedter Making use of Hegel, Marx and Schopenhauer he develops a thesis to show the violence in organized society, and how man is kept slave, by making use of Hegel's master-slave dialectic (a similar reading of Hegel would be later done by Kojeve), the master gives the slave a right to exist, and thus a right to life for his violence, and that he should want, going after never ending pleasure and needs. Violence against nature which becomes violence against man in organized society with property, this is how Rhetoric is maintained in society, with the atomizing of life starting with laws, humans rights, the exploitation of past labor and money. https://www.rodoni.ch/busoni/bibliotechina/michelstaedter/poesie.html Current Mood: sleepy (Comment on this)
