KARAMOJA TO MAJOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL

I was in 5th or 6th Grade when downtown movie houses were inundated, usually....Saturdays....., with both Feature Films and Shorts (i.e. "Documentary Films"....with a grain of salt)........Some, especially at Warner Bros. and American International Theaters,  cashed in on low-budget racist exploitation flicks, as well as "White Men In Africa Stuff"....like Ramar Of The Jungle, Tarzan.....of the Jungle, and a dozen, now largely forgotten, Saturday Morning Racist Serials.....   "Karamoja" was, then, what would be, now, "XX"-rated, since it featured ebony-skinned Savages, glisteningly....Naked!  

.....Audiences, then....as now.....salivated, not only over all that nakedness, but also....the bloody slaughtering of wild animals......[Although, a few were 'turned off', preferring to envision their 'Meat' in neat packages, wrapped in plastic wrap, with a 'price-per-pound' label affixed].......I did, at 10, sneak into a downtown Movie Theatre....to recoil, terrified, at the sight of Spanish missionaries being devoured to the bone by Amazonian piranhas, to the delight of watching Natives.....and the viewing of 'NativeYouths'  being initiated into 'Manhood' by donning woven vests of stinging wasps or hornets.......ritual circumcision of both males and females.....and the bifurcation of boys' penises during their ceremonial 'Manhood' events....... Now,  for the more 'refined' audiences with sublimated instincts and repressed desires, there is Football, to displace their real constant cravings......
