I just mentioned the book ‘Little Black Sambo’ in a comment or two, in regards to “buttery” artwork, and I was recommending that the person I was commenting to read it and view the wonderful artwork if they get a chance. Then, I went to look it up online, and what I found is a whole lot of weirdness! None of the books were the one I read as a child. The one I read as a child did call him Little Black Sambo, yes, but there was no Black Mumbo or Black Jumbo and it was completely different artwork. Yet, it was banned, all the same as the other ones. Here is something I did not find, which I think is quite disturbing: the truth! The tale of Little Black Sambo, the real tale, the one that was in the book that I read and which the purported author of Little Black Sambo had obviously heavily based her work on, was not a racist commentary made up by a Scottish woman to entertain her daughters! It is an old, old tale of one of the smartest, most cunning ancestors of an African people: Sambo! It’s about how even as a child he was so smart and brave that he could outwit even the most frightening of their enemies, the man eating tigers, and make them powerless against him. It is a tale of bravery and resourcefulness, an honoring of the ancestors, and a reason for being proud to be of that blood and to carry that name. One of the saddest things I have ever seen is a small family group of two persons, standing in a foreign land, in a library, where they expected freedom of thought and self expression, watching people of other colors and races, insulting their ancestral history ,burning books and crying out that the names of those two persons ancestors was filth and not to even be spoken of in public, .. .and one of them, the little boy, looking up into his mother’s eyes and crying, demanding to know why, if Sambo was so disgusting, she would name him that! That was at a book burning, that was inspired by people seeing that the library had the book ‘Little Black Sambo.” They went crazy, putting burn barrels into the building and lighting all sorts of books up. I risked life and limb to wrestle one of those books away from them and give it to the young man, while explaining to him how stupid some people are that they think just because their ancestors acted badly they have the right to punish everyone else and how Sambo is a wonderful name, that’s why it was made fun of by bad people who dishonored themselves by their actions, because they waned to take away the goodness and nobility of the name among the people they enslaved. Well, they didn’t do it, but congratulations to the book burners and banners for succeeding where the racist bastards failed! However, be aware that there once was a little brown Sambo who clutched the book Little Black Sambo, the good one about his ancestors, to his chest and watched in fear as some of you threatened to tear him and me limb from limb for daring to want to know the story, the dignity, behind the prejudicial silliness. And he did grow up, and I’m still alive, so.. if the truth shall set you free, than he and I have been free for decades, and you still aren’t!

My rant- / In the journey to self acceptance its a tricky tricky road / With the grass always greener on the other side… / Why are we pressured to keep ourselves hidden, clothed, covered from the world… made to feel unworth… when one doesnt fit the ‘mould’ / Western Society tries to corrupt us to be ashamed of what we are, at the same time as encouraging us to be confident and self assured… / Amid brainwashing us all what we should look like and how we should act… / What a mind job… Ok, So since having my child two years ago confidence has not been a strong point… :) / One looks in the mirror and sees a stranger :) / (who stole my body? – i swear i used to be bigger lol) / But slowly as time goes by i’m learning to accept what i am once more / and so, in an effort to get that to sink in…, here i am. :) As my other half says to me, Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes :) / and True Beauty is from within! / so screw the outer beauty thang, for its inner beauty i truly strive for! / (inner beauty also, with a little willpower, does not succumb to age… / ...unlike the flesh) Peace N Luv Trippaz :)

“Green washing” and “Brain washing” are on a boat, / “Brain washing” fell in the water! / Which is what remains? This t-shirt alluded to the “Green washing” new green propaganda used by companies who see the enthusiasm of consumers for the ecology in a general way to make money by creating pseudos labels out of nowhere and who are certified by anyone. The ecology is not a game and companies who use these levers media blur the tracks. / I do not want to give lessons, but simply reiterated what everyone knows … Some scientists say that in 10 years, the climate has really changed and if we do not act now, we will not be back … so
