SEX, POLITICS, and GUNS


Guns. The coming together of gun and white woman is and has always
been a deadly combination; add a porn star to the equation and what comes alive,
and out of that kind of math?... ~ Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories. Audrey Bitoni in photo.



The coming together of gun and white woman is and has always been a deadly combination; add a porn star to the equation and what comes alive, and out of that kind of math? There is power in each of the three, but the coming together is the multiplication of hidden factors, not to be separated or divided. But, since the subject poses within history the fact of what a porn star brings into this equation limits the subject of murder to a narrow space concerned with being objectified, raped, or seen as no more than a potential sexual conquest. That ain't fair. Sex is a center piece.

The historical contribution of white women to the violence African slaves experienced, and the grandchildren of ex-slaves shuddered beneath returns the full weight of this history upon the shoulders it belongs. This kind of violence is tied to sex.


This perspective comes from the context of American life and legacy. Not addressing the core of the conditions holding this country apart, and together is irresponsible. Understanding how complex the relationships that complicates the world, and strains within the myth of American society is what is part of being a global citizen! Disturbingly, these are connected to the conservative white man in Alabama running for senator in Alabama!

How?

Americans don't want to know their truths. But it is entirely up to the American citizen to find out why sex is tied to what disturbs the equations of American history in the puzzle around this white man in the senate race in the bloody state of Alabama!
