Man! Dude! Session #161

M: Dude! The Supreme Court’s legally recognizing same-sex marriages only strengthens the argument for civil rights legislation in the coming months and years.

D: Man! What about the Supreme Court’s rulings against Affirmative Action and the Voting Rights Act of 1965? Yeah, the justices wanted the lower courts and the United States Congress to reissue stances according to up-to-date data and research, but to place these issues into the hands of essentially those who deferred the issues onto the United States Supreme Court, it seems to me to be a never-ending tennis match!

M: Dude! It’s more like the then-Rehnquist Court and now-Roberts Court are serving one ace after another, without once caring to engage their challengers in a back-and-forth. Justices Breyer and Kennedy offered themselves as the deciding game changers this week, but I still think the court is underhanded.

D: Man! You think the male justices seriously think that they can get away with subversive acts of intellect with poor and working class Americans?

M: Dude! That’s just it! The oppressed that win their arguments for civil rights are the ones to take up the struggle to liberate those who either struggle or, in the cases last week, are taken decades backwards. The LGBT communities within the 13 states that recognize same-sex marriages must now move forward with their fight to spread acceptance throughout the 37 states that do not. And, like the female abolitionists and suffragists, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 will be brought into the public and judicial conscience once again via same sex couple families and their supporters.

D: Man! Talking about Wimbledon-like tennis tournaments, I think the field of Republican deuces like Boehner and Cantor, Blackburn and Ryan, McConnell and Rand, and Bachmann and Gohmert ought to be disadvantaged. But how will Democrats ever be able to empower masses to register for an identification card in order to cast their ballots? No wonder Chris Christie is arrogantly presuming his reelection success in the early voting cycle come this October!

M: Dude! The long arduous battle for civil rights has been handed to LGBT communities across the United States. Having had to live their lives in hiding behind heterosexual facades for the sake of not getting ridiculed or all-out socially ousted, LGBT individuals are tough and formidable forces of positive change and open-mindedness despite the crude stereotypes they are continually being subjected to, like the ones being directed towards Rachel Jeantel, the witness in the Trayvon Martin murder trial.

D: Man! Rachel Jeantel has been stripped of all credibility because of her speech and inability to read cursive English script. I have to confess that I did not have the ability to read cursive until the fourth grade, third grade being the first time I was taught how to write cursive myself.

M: Dude! I could not tell time until the fourth grade! The second hand on all the clocks made me sweat with terror that someone might ask me to read the time! That’s why I always wore a digital watch until the fifth grade.

D: Man! If we were so bumbling in elementary school and so artless in our existences as we are today, you barely making it in construction while I hold on to a job at a hardware store, then what right does anyone in mainstream society have to judge the multilingual Creole-African American Rachel Jeantel?  

M: Dude! Seriously, the defense attorney for Zimmerman rigged the entire trial as insignificant with his tactless opening joke. Reminds me of Peggy Noonan’s argument this morning on George Stephanopoulos that Wendy Davis was promoting “infanticide” by her pro-choice stand supporting partial birth abortions.

D: Man! Peggy Noonan is with The Wall Street Journal. She’s a lost cause, trust me. She is known to savor every word that comes out of her mouth as having the equivalency of pearls. Wait! I misspoke! Noonan prefers to equivocate her words to sapphires because of a September birthday. What a rented mouth!  

M: Dude!  The demographics of the United States are changing and we the people have to think about what is happening to women and minorities in states with Republican legislatures. Texas State Senator Wendy Davis has given US an effective tactic to win back seats in the midterms: The Fort Worth native actually followed excruciatingly detailed procedures in order to filibuster the abortion bill that would have closed down Planned Parenthood Clinics, essentially taking a woman’s right to preventative health care and choice away throughout Texas.

D: Man! What about the quality of life indicators that come into play in the reassessment  of our African American brothers and sisters?

M: Dude! When the United States Supreme Court compromises equal protection, it is messing up the legislative structure upon which societal functionality depends. And African American families are especially vulnerable, with an ancestry that converges upon the Maafa, or “great disaster” that was slavery, which took over 25 million lives.

D: Man! It’s disturbing how the number of African individuals killed in the slave trade altogether is over 25 million lives. Just like the number of Jewish individuals killed in the holocaust is over 6 million! Doesn’t anyone get chills anymore about the disdain with which these perpetrators perpetrated, the actual number of slaves killed amounting to over 100 million and the number of Jews killed amounting to over 12 million?  

M: Dude! Legislative structures were made to suit the status quo and people who fought against such maleficent doctrines were the ones who ushered in the paradigm shifts that have helped soar humanity.

D: Man! If Texas State Senator Wendy Davis’ supporters can stand up for her amidst the war on women being played out in Austin, Texas right now, the upcoming special session beginning Monday, July 1 at 2 p.m., an attempt by Governor Rick Perry to pass the anti-abortion bill, then we’re going to be in for plenty of protests throughout the United States.

M: Dude! Wendy Davis is a diamond that has been gathering momentum with a levelheadedness that cuts through the political riffraff in Texas.

D: Man! She’s got it! She’s superb! Texas is just the starting point of her influence and incredible stamina to wipe out such riffraff like Governor Rick Perry and Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.
