BlackMan Time

“Remember the golden rule,” goes an old saying but instead of its original meaning of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” I have another definition! It is “the man with the gold will rule!”

In the world of media, entertainment, politics and in any endeavour where the rich dominates with their vast wealth, the man with gold continues to rule.

This has the added effect of freezing out anyone with inferior gold strength because gold is money, money is power and power sits behind a kingdom.

In Hollywood for instance the power brokers aren’t interested in movies that try to undermine their power structure so you see very little or no accurate cultural representation of certain groups, e.g. Black people, in films.

Even when they try to tell a Black story it will still be told from a perspective where invariably all the unpleasant bits are given a beautification or historical makeover. Groups that represent the gold power interest, e.g. the Jews, get unprecedented leeway to tell and retell their stories more often and as accurately as they wish.

This is just one example of how the man with the gold does rule. There are many others, of course!

Can you think of any?
