8| wright-on (adj.)

By fuelingstation

filtration sysyems often favor what makes the final cut, like a juicer, when unnatural concentration occurs and sugar levels become unhealthy. no one eats 20 oranges, but they’ll drink them. have we forgotten about gold mining, when the small stuff gets discarded and the biggest objects are the first to make the cut? when it comes to filtering information, i prefer the latter. i want to be in the stream myself making decisions about what to keep and what to discard. the news media juiced reverend jeremiah wright when their job was to pan, and much of america is drunk on that sickly fermentation.

in an interview on PBS with bill moyers, after being asked why so many people have responded so negatively to his sermons, wright said (paraphrased as best as possible), “when revolutions are won, the victors write the history from their own perspective to ensure future generations remember what was fought for and what was won. all men are created equal? americans have inherited a myth and they get angry when what i say compromises it.” wright-on is often associated with the cold sweats, feelings of vertigo and a ringing in the ears. it can also lead to loss of hearing all-together. wright-on is to be so real it hurts. etymology: derived from the proper noun, reverend jeremiah wright.

contextual use:

  • “…the holocaust museum is wright-on.”
  • “…i can’t look at the PETA website because it’s too wright-on and i feel helpless.”
  • “…i wish al gore wasn’t so wright-on–he’s totally ruining my fishing trip.”
