Conscious Person......... All living people who care about other living people

If and when The World spends too much time and energy contemplating a person who demonstrates a heartbreakingly ignorant, rude, and ahistoric worldview to a politically Conscious Person who gives a damn about correcting The World's tragic mistake.

The World: What Jay-Z said about Belafonte is--

Conscious Person: Who is Jay-Z?

The World: You don't know who Jay-Z is?

Conscious Person: Does Jay-Z know who I am?

The World: You know he's Beyonce's husband. He makes a lot of money, and he's a rapper--

Conscious Person: ---and I am a Conscious Person who will never forget Trayvon Martin's killing, and Harry Belafonte's dignity and activism. So like I said, who is Jay-Z?

The End of political naiveté, and hope-- if conscious people stop confronting fools
