I am all for celebrating what we have struggled to recognize, but here is some critical political analysis; If you observe how politicians pervert the system in order to maintain the power they have, you will see they maybe willing to cede symbolic victories in partisan performances to prevent actual institutional and structural reforms. It costs them very little to make a holiday, giving workers a little break, while dulling some of those blades of social outrage. If you recall Shakespeare says “all the worlds a stage” Yet, I pray we do not allow ourselves to be played by those **** poor performers. We are more than seat warmers waiting to die while fresh suckers sit down to buy the same song and dance.
