Red the Negro shoeshine boy

[ish mailian]

Wonderful! And I would add that satire, so topical, so contextualized,
for an audience and about that audience, including, of course the
books they've read, like Macolm X, that serve as parodic material
reversed, thus stimulating a reversal of reading. The fear of
Blackness is revered, the conditioned White is flushed through history
and scattered by Natural forces, Gravity and the Flow of waters, of
music, of Orphic Song.
