Quoting the hip-hop artist KRS-1:
"Barack is like the manager of Burger King. All presidents are, including Bush. It's like this... When your fries are cold, if your burger's not done right... you go back to Burger King (America, or your government), and you say, "My burger's cold; I want new fries!" First, you go to the cashier... that's the courts. You argue to the courts... The courts... If you can't get no justice with the cashier, you say, "Let me see the manager! I want to go to Supreme Court. I want to see the president." The manager comes out, "Hi, what can I do for you?" Now the manager can override the decisions of the cashier, but you never get to see the franchise owner of Burger King. If you really have a problem with your burger, you need to go see the franchise owner. We need to go to the top. Or to the bottom [moans]. We need to go where the real architecture of government is. And it's not in a president. It's in a global scheme."
- pnathan 13y agoThat's a pretty lucid description of the power structure. Except I'm not sure there's a "top".... unless you want to simply point at the whole system of US goverment and its culture.
