Tom
and Jerry cartoons carry racism warning
Tom and Jerry cartoons on television are being
accompanied by a warning that they may depict scenes of "racial
prejudice". The classic cat and mouse cartoons, some made more than 70
years ago, carry a warning for subscribers to Amazon Prime Instant Video. There
have been claims of racist stereotyping in the depiction of a black maid in the
cartoon series. Amazon's warning says such prejudice was once
"commonplace" in US
society. Tom and Jerry, once a staple of children's television on British
television, is being presented with a cautionary note about "ethnic and
racial prejudices". BBC; September 30. http://www.bbc.com/news/education-29427843
Banksy
anti-immigration birds mural in Clacton-on-Sea
destroyed
A new Banksy mural showing a group of pigeons
holding anti-immigration banners has been destroyed following a complaint the
work was "racist". The mural in Clacton-on-Sea
- where a by-election is due to take place following the local MP's defection
to UKIP - appeared this week. It showed four pigeons holding signs including
"Go Back to Africa ", while a more
exotic-looking bird looked on. BBC; October 1. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-29446232
So we have
two news reports from UK
just a day apart that deal with the subject of racism. Is that a coincidence?
Not really if we are to believe the astrology behind them.
As we have
seen in the past, since the Capricorn Ingress can be considered the “master
chart” for the year, its progression becomes a valuable tool for understanding the deeper reasons behind day to day events.
Shown here is the current Capricorn
Ingress at London .
Notice the placement of a slightly
skewed Grand Cross on the horizon axis. Jupiter [17cn] is conjunct iota
Geminorum and lambda Geminorum of the Twins. About this area, Diana Rosenberg
writes:
There
are racial issues (including theories of race “superiority”) and issues of
brotherhood vs intolerance.
Jupiter is
opposite Pluto [11cp] and the asteroid Hopi [19cp]
HOPI:
Native American peoples, culture, memories and behavioral inclinations; indigenous
peoples; prejudice against minority groups.
In dualistic belief systems, twin deities or
Dioscouri are archetypes representing the contradictory aspects of creation:
light and darkness. In Vedic mythology, the twin cosmic Ashwins (or Asvins),
are often depicted as twilight, one half light, the other half dark,
personifying the two luminous rays which precede the break of day, or,
otherwise, the dawn of a new frame of mind. As Romulus
and Remus, they founded Rome ,
the center of the empire of the gods. They were known in Greece as
CASTOR AND POLLUX, who live today as the constellation of Gemini, eternal
gaiety found in the night time skies. http://watch.pair.com/gemini.html
Progressing
this chart to September 30 or October 1 brings the stellium of
Hades-Kronos-Jupiter to the Ascendant with Pluto opposite triggering the above
mentioned issues. On the MC is Neptune
conjunct the star Fomalhaut.
Fomalhaut, one the "Four Royal
Architects," inspires future vision for an evolved humanitarian-based
society. Fomalhaut inspires new ideas and pursuits in the art-sciences, in
technology, and in social issues of the world. Fomalhaut promotes the flow of
resources within the human populous that creates a wholesome human condition.
Fomalhaut defies convention and compartmentalization, but supports
individuality, progress, and freedom.
