“Mobile's AfricaTown:
Published timelines of African-American history invariably mention that the last slave ship to bring Africans to North America was the *Clotilde* … what they never explain is how this happened 50 years after the United States banned the importation of slaves.
The explanation is both trivial and tragic. Timothy Meaher, a wealthy Mobile shipbuilder, made a wager over a few whiskies that he could elude federal agents…
…While descendents of the Clotilde captives still hold reunions in the area, there is little physical evidence of this community’s origins, except for the bust of Cudjoe Lewis…
…Lewis (who was originally called ‘Kazoola’) died in 1945, possibly the last surviving slave-ship captive in America.”

“Mobile’s reputation as the birthplace of Mardi Gras in North America does not rest solely on the fact that a few half-starved French colonists observed the pre-Lenten feasts here 300 years ago… In 1852, a group of Mobile "Cowbellians" moved to New Orleans and formed the Krewe of Comus, which is now that larger city’s oldest and most secretive Carnival society.
…All of Mobile’s parading societies throw Moon Pies along with beads and doubloons, providing sugary nourishment to the revelers lining the streets.
The crowd is very regional, mostly coastal Alabamians. Everyone seems to know each other, and they are always honored and often extra hospitable when they learn that you traveled a long way just to visit *their* Carnival. Late into the evening, silk-gowned debutantes with their white-tie and tail clad escorts who’ve grown weary of their formal balls blend easily with the street crowds…”

“MOBIUS: Neon, you’ve been living in the Nonprofit Matrix, a world controlled by wealthy individuals and corporations, who created a sector to delude people from seeing how they’re hoarding money, avoiding taxes, and furthering inequity while convincing people they are the solutions to the problems they cause.
NEON: What are you talking about? I’m a good person. My nonprofit helps a lot of people.
EQUITY: That’s true, it does. But remember that improv workshop you took once, where you learned about “Yes and”?
NEO: Yes. And?
EQUITY: You are helping people AND you are helping capitalism uphold itself by charity-washing its most egregious offenses. You see, by setting up foundations and donating to nonprofits, the extremely wealthy get to feel good about themselves while the masses are tricked into believing excessively wealthy people are good. This is how wealth disparity maintains itself.”

“Mocht er vandaag een wereldkampioenschap ter plaatse trappelen georganiseerd worden, dan worden Pascal Smet en zijn team met een straat voorsprong wereldkampioen. Hij beweert dat er geen tijd is om alles in een decreet te gieten de komende twee jaar. Geen tijd? Zet tien onderwijsspecialisten (bij voorkeur geen socialisten) TWEE WEKEN lang bij elkaar en je hebt een gedetailleerd en waardevol voorstel. Het enige wat ik de voorbije 10-15 jaar zien veranderen heb in het onderwijs is de voorzichtige introductie van nieuwe technologie en hier en daar wat kleine veranderingen in het lessenpakket. Digitalisering is omnipresent geworden in ons leven maar nog steeds zie ik elke dag kinderen sleuren met rugzakken vol papier. De jeugd maakt massaal gebruik van smartphones en tablets maar ik vraag me af hoeveel van die jongeren weten hoe de soft- en hardware in elkaar zitten. Het zijn nochtans deze zaken die hun verdere leven zullen sturen en zelfs domineren. Kennis die leerlingen moeten verwerven via huiswerktaken wordt blindelings overgenomen van Wikipedia, zonder enige kritische benadering of eigen inbreng. Ook in het hoger onderwijs zie je dit meer en meer. De kloof tussen afgestudeerden en de arbeidsmarkt was nooit groter dan vandaag en dan komt zo'n Pascal Smet vertellen dat er geen tijd is om te hervormen.”
“Mocht mijn mening enig gezag hebben gehad, dan had ik qua beeld voor het schilderij van de Dulle Griet gepleit. Het is een wonder dat we dit bijzondere doek van de Oude Bruegel zomaar in een zaaltje van een klein museum kunnen bezichtigen, alleen dat al geeft aan wat we zijn in deze stad en het doek zelf geeft evenveel prijs. De terreur hangt daar open en bloot, het roven aan de mond van de hel. Het is niet omdat een mens er weinig moeite voor moet doen dat een onthulling geen onthulling blijkt. Die Dulle Griet raast en daast door een landschap vol oorlog en herinnering in felrood, bruin en zwart. Haar ogen staan wijd opengesperd zodat ze alles en niets ziet. Heeft zij deze verschrikking veroorzaakt of maakt ze louter deel uit van deze smeerlapperij en speelt ze het spel mee? Op een schone zaterdag moet ge toch eens naar dat museum gaan om het allemaal in u op te nemen.”

“Mock on, mock on, Voltaire, Rousseau! Mock on, mock on: 'Tis all in vain! You throw the sand against the wind, And the wind blows it back again. And every sand becomes a gem Reflected in the beams divine; Blown back they blind the mocking eye, But still in Israel's paths they shine. The atoms of Democritus And Newton's particles of light Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.”
