It's perfectly ok to say "It's okay to be White". But Black Lives Matter is "Marxist", "racist", etc. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

To this day, at 51, Chuck D is my hero! PE put me on the path to Black Nationalism! I was 15 in 1987 when Yo, Bum Rush The Show dropped!

Divide and conquer! That's their main playbook!

King never said he felt "Malcolm has done himself and our people a great disservice," author Jonathan Eig told NPR, despite that famous quote appearing in a 1965 interview with Alex Haley, for Playboy magazine....

"There's more to it," Eig said, "but what King actually said was that he disagreed with some of Malcolm's views, maybe with many of them — but that he was aware that his way wasn't the only way. And it sounded like he was much more open to exploring that relationship than the Playboy interview made it out to be...."

PLAYBOY: Dr. King, would you care to comment upon the articulate former Black Muslim, Malcolm X? DR. KING: I have met Malcolm X, but circumstances didn't enable me to talk with him for more than a minute. I totally disagree with many of his political and philosophical views, as I understand them. He is very articulate, as you say. I don't want to seem to sound as if I feel so self-righteous, or absolutist, that I think I have the only truth, the only way. Maybe he does have some of the answer. But I know that I have so often felt that I wished that he would talk less of violence, because I don't think that violence can solve our problem. And in his litany of expressing the despair of the Negro, without offering a positive, creative approach, I think that he falls into a rut sometimes."

... flower power ...

"Our Lily" and "Arum Lily", by photographer Stefan Lorant, captured in 1937. An extraordinary comparison where photographer shows similar movements of ballet with flower.

I've posted it before, but I wanted to highlight that there is an active fundraiser for Muhammad Ahmad (Maxwell Stanford). Ahmad was the founder of the Revolutionary Action Movement, a Leninist Black Power that preceded the Black Panthers, and spent the 60s as a radical community organizer in and around Philadelphia. He was targeted by COINTELPRO, and suffered throughout his life from the echoes of a brutal prison sentence he endured as a young adult.

There's a fabulous interview series with him available from the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/AWordWithMuhammadAhmad/MuhammadAhmad_3-30-08_pt1.mp3

He was unceremoniously terminated from Temple University in the mid-2010s.

Why is the da community always like “well the game is good if you ignore these side quests, yes the writing is bad, but if you install these 50 mods, and then you make up a back story in your head so the main story makes sense then the games really fun actually ☺️” like guys… I think we deserve more better even…
