Thanks for getting me.
When I saw The Matrix, I couldn't help but notice black folks get to survive that scenario. A few years ago, I learned it was written by a Black woman and I had to watch it again. Well, by that time, I could just replay the whole thing in my head! Yeah, yeah...I know I'm a maxie-zoom

I can't help it when dirty little lies grow up into statistics­. The movie makes sense when I think of Black folks being out of the matrix, having to adjust in order to exist inside it. Things get hinky when you are forced to live against your true nature. We try to help, but when the Smith's get a hold of you, it's hard to get through. And the lie wins, for awhile.
The Oracle takes on a new meaning for me as well... I'll think about it when I get her book.
(points to time-stamp­)
I may not agree with this tomorrow..­.. Your mileage may certainly vary.
