Hopeless Hopefulness
Nuclear
Holocaust, No Hope For Humanity

If tomorrow a few children escape the
nuclear holocaust that is bound to come, how will they survive? Will they
reinvent language, culture, technology, science, religion, or just plain let
things come the way they may come, if they come?
Right
now there is like a revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s plays in the USA, on
Broadway particularly. The fourth play on this curse of the Blacks in America
or elsewhere in the world, and the curse of humanity under the mismanagement of
the Western Whites, is the M.L.Kingian dream of the Black hard-working working-class
being able to move from the ghetto to a white neighborhood is not included. It
is A Raisin in the Sun, and that dream could only be a dream in 1959. No way,
in this direction, desegregating neighborhoods.
The
US Supreme Court has just gotten rid of “Affirmative Action” for the selection
and registration of students at the college level, making the desegregation of
colleges and universities in the USA go one important backward step to more segregation
instead of less. You can imagine in 1959: the black family who would move into
a white neighborhood would be at least expelled with some violence, or simply
lynched on the main square of this neighborhood and hanged from the branches of
some majestic tree there.
