Yes, we are the Enfranchised. Its like "the Enlightened" but with a bittersweet bite of self-conscious irony. White, middle-class and pissed off that nobody seems to think we've got anything to be pissed off about. As a people we are minorities of nothing; as individuals we are the ultimate minority.We are slow-mo Hobos in a PoMoWo. Our idea of multi-cultural is the food court at the mall. We are those subjects left out of subjectivity. We are the jagged center of the fragmented world. We know no movements, no trends, no wisdom. The pendulum continues its swing and we hold on for dear life. Is there room on the bookshelves and gallery walls for us? Or are doomed to a life lonely in endless WASP opportunity? We hereby seek to answer that and other questions. And we apologize in advance. We're sorry. We are truly and profoundly sorry.
