I can breathe

Stories and News No. 1202   I can't breathe. Maybe because I just can’t or someone has decided, judged and sentenced that my life has come to an end. This may happen right now, but not suddenly, since there is nothing new in this legalized and generally tolerated misdeed. I cannot breathe were George Floyd’s last words on this earth. But he was not the first and sadly will not be the last to be killed with impunity, in spite of all human decency, even before its legal basis. #Icantbreathe is also a viral and passionate hashtag, to vent outrage and claim justice on the digital collective blackboard. I can't breathe became we can't suffer that without pushing back. it is the angry scream of a portion of humanity with the wrong melanin only a mad, pale look; citizens like the others on the paper, who overturn their resentment to the State they belong to, but that insists on institutionally raping them; since it does every holy day since it kidnapped their ance...

Police kill unarmed black: end of story

Stories and News No. 909 In the US, San Diego, for the umpteenth time a police officer has killed an unarmed African-American. So I find again myself writing something about this grotesque, absurd phrase... Police kill unarmed black . Four words. Take them strong in one hand. In a page, if you prefer not to burn yourself. Four words that may break all things in pieces. That's why the page is good, right? Because we can write and read them endlessly. And everything goes on. And everything is repeated. Because we believe in the end that so no one really hurts, in a newspaper. When the newspaper is like a movie. But let us say it is all true, try to believe it. Just like in front of a movie.

Start from the very first, so no one will be offended. Say letter by letter and now expr...

Racism stories: ban colors

Stories and News No. 697 Yet another news of an African American man killed by the police in the United States is everywhere. As the killings in 1919, the narrative presents the same unacceptable title. I'm tired of this... I offer radical solutions. Let’s ban the colors. Beautiful, huh? I know. Stop colors, stop racism. And stop to pair of useless words in overvalued meanings. White men and African American women, colored people or just black , yellows and mulattos , ebony skin and so on. All away, simplicity time. A few seconds and ... crash ! You will understand, without colors, no street lights too. So, among other billion basic things, no more books. Read as well as spells of black magic on white pages . Because that’s what writing stories is. Pure magic, nothing less, and much more. I cannot abolish the colors? Let’s ban the skin, then. Brilliant, right? Muscles and tendons, blood and heart, all in plain sight. Stop again white girls and black chil...
