Not wanting to beat a dead horse, but knowing that “the Man” was Black
ghetto slang for Cops and the corrupt justice system, as well as all the
manifestations of a century old racist power system, we STILL shouldn’t
forget that in GR it is primarily a manifestation of THEY/THEM, GR’s
overarching villain.  It’s much bigger than the ghetto “Man.”  All this
gets much more interesting when later on the idea of a We system is
discussed or when we learn of the Devils Advocate at the cocktail party
post Slothrups disappearance…
