Gang Bangin' in the Negro Dome (an oldie but goodie)


* Note before reading: I am in no way racist or have any conscious animosity toward African Americans!

I don't remember much of this dream, other than I was living in a dome that had one door to enter and exit from it. I wanted more than anything to escape but I would be killed the second I tried to. It seemed as if the majority of the other people in this dome were African American as well. There were three ways to survive in this dome without being killed. One is to act like a zombie and wander around as if you didn't exist. But this wouldn't allow you passage out the door into the real world. The other two, which would grant you more freedom and alliances would be to be an extremely tough person and command the alliances out of fear, or to have sex with as many people as possible and gain alliances through your services. I chose to have sex with people, since I'm not a very tough person to begin with. I started gaining enough alliances when this extreemely tough and reputable man came up to me. His skin was very dark skinned and wearing all black. Because of that, and the lighting in the dome, the only parts of him that I could see were is white teeth and his eyes. They almost seemed to glow in the dark. He was going to help me break out of the dome....

*Notes: This dream could possibly have connections to Grand Theft Auto and other types of media of a similar nature. I will not rule out external influences of racism in society either, especially growing up in a racist home.

That is the foulest title I've ever heard, and I'm PSYCHOTIC!? It is useful when confronting a cross racial dream to see yourself amidst those of a differing shade, but remember, you made the dream, so it is hot syrup on cold ice cream. associations with fighting and crime may be a sadly common association, but what if you needed "the others" to destroy your ridged identity so we could all be one, like a circular chain of bullets revolving through a gun. "You gots ta be beat in, Oh banged in!" -or in your case, out. The otherness is the abrasive texture on the tool that shaves the tainted rind."We're all the same on the inside." is what we like to say but no-one likes the goo you've got to go through to get to the identical cores.

please take this as humor... but I think "Gang Bangin' in da negro-dome" would make an excellent refrain/mantra in a rap number, with a Snoop type idiosyncratic personality-driven voice delivering slight variants of emotional tone upon each repetition. Please read the following in Snoop's voice, slightly changing pitches and flow upon each repetition...
"Gang Bangin' in da negro-dome"
"Gang Bangin' in da negro-dome"
("she was... a' ")
"Gang Bangin' in da negro-dome"
"Gang Bangin' in da negro-dome"
