IN THE YEAR 20/20 BLACK INSIGHT OF AMERICA USHERS IN CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY FOR BLACK EYESIGHT
 |
| By Special Guest Op-Ed Contributor Tolson Banner |
I’ve been having problems with my Black eyesight all year long. My “Black Vison” was blurred and I wasn’t sure if I was near sighted or far sighted.
I had a prognosis awhile back and was told I was suffering from “ocular hypertension.” In layman’s terms this meant my insight was putting pressure on my eyesight.
I finally broke down and made an appointment to visit various disciplines of America’s eye doctors and/or practitioners: ophthalmologist, optometrist and optician. Damn, in the year 20/20 I was flirting with the possibility that I might be going blind like America.
I arrived at America’s ophthalmologist office ‘round 8:46 am. The time stirred an eerie feeling in me. This was the exact time the Minneapolis policeman applied pressure to George Floyd’s neck with his knee cutting off his breathe of life.
Former Minneapolis prosecutor Amy Klobuchar finger prints were all over this public lynching. During her tenure, Klobuchar never prosecuted police involved in fatal encounters with black men.
Klobuchar carried on this tradition with impunity. Now as the US Senator, Klobuchar is being touted by President-elect Joe Biden as possibly the next Attorney General. I could feel my insight putting pressure on my eyesight. The receptionist arrived and led me to the examining room.
