Mikey Snot Is Great
Cecil the Lion

July 29, 2015 Buzz Fugazi



There's a backlash against white liberals concerned with Cecil the Lion. Supposedly, if I am appalled that some dickhead needs to kill a cat for sport, I am a hypocrite because I am unconcerned with Africa otherwise. For the record, my campus activism began by demanding University divestment from South African Apartheid in '85, and thanks to personal letters from a friend in Rwanda, I was well aware and concerned with genocide there long before it reached limited public consciousness in this country. My government has been reluctant to take my foreign policy advice and while many people in my generation were chasing dollars during the Reagan Years, I was a card-carrying DSA... writing, agitating, and organizing for a new Democratic Left. That being said, I do not wish to be a white colonial overlord of African politics, but at the same time, I will not object if the Great Cat Hunter is thrown into a cage to be dismembered by crazed chimps for pay per view entertainment. If anybody has a problem with that, go ahead and cry me a fucking river.
