Tuesday.
It is Tuesday. I am in school right now, it is 1:00 p.m. Jerry, our history instructor, just told us that we need to step our game up in his class if we want to pass. Something about we need to write more in our blogs. So I'll write more. My weekend was alright, didn't do much except smoke, bought a comic book, and some vegetable chips. They are delicious. I got them from a bakery on the Northside on Foster & Clark, at Middle Eastern. I wish they had a spot like this where I live. Why don't they? Why do I see endless fast-food restaurants and corner stores on the Southside, where there are predominantly mixed races, mostly black and Latino, but when I go up north I see nothing but organic "healthy" eats places? Do they want us to die quicker than our fellow white man? Do they care about us? Whatever the case, I still strive to eat green and promote a healthy lifestyle by going to the gym 3 times a week and exercising at home, and watching what I eat and being conscious of my diet. I do not want to die a slow painful death like everybody else. I do not want to be another mere mule, sheep, a transporter of bogus energy and information to everybody i interact with, in fact, i want to change people's minds, change the way they think, how they see things, how they talk about the things they see. the world can always be a better place, and i want to play my part against the narrative.
I agree
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say there is a "plan" behind there not being health food on the Southside. It has more to do with market forces which perpetuate an already unhealthy situation. This is the problem with things like systematic racism. It is often not the product of conscious decisions by individuals as much a product of a system to perpetuates itself. I will try to make this more clear in class.
