" Absalom, Absalom ! "

In his Absalom, Absalom !, my Hero, William Faulkner, described, in Painful Detail, the Slave Owners FANATICAL Obsession to 'Recover' a Runaway Slave, a MAN without whom he could NOT 'Function'.  Such Fanaticism for Recovery is NOT Indicative of OTHER Slave Owners, who in their Blind and VICIOUS Cruelty, sought only the DEATH of ANY Slave who dared to try Escape.   Here it is that I drew from THESE, my Modern Day Depiction of AMERICAN BLACK CITIZENS as Faulknerian 'Slaves', Desperates seeking only their CONSTITUTIONAL and Declaration of Independence RIGHTS, to Live FREE and UN-OPPRESSED, but who are 'Considered' RUNAWAY SLAVES by cops and local RACISTS, to be Mercilessly GUNNED DOWN in a  Display of UNTOLD Human ATROCITY, in order that the AMERICAN APARTHEID can be MAINTAINED by the White Supremacist Status Quo.
