As long as you can control the institutions, you can control the [thinking and] behavior of people. - Dr. Bobby E. Wright
If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller
We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba AniSunday, May 6, 2007
Basic Needs & The 'N' Word
This is a special post due to recent national events surrounding the N-Word. A positive approach to using the 'N' Word.
Newborns nursing chocolate milk.
Black Widow name brand suits of silk.
Natural selection.
When the name of the game is a nation's election,
an African on a white elephant,
is incredibly nightmarish and negligent.
I have a question.
Are we in the black or out-voted?
Like white on rice, sugarcoated?
The use of polishing and refining as a disguise
has been duly noted.
We hold this truth to be self evident and prevalent!
And another thing!
While we paraded, were we sedated?
This may explain why,
although we can’t, we still wait
to fully integrate.
Precious Lord, wake us when we’ve made it.
Uh, rather traded
ourselves for next-door neighbors who hate it.
The electricity of, Power! to my peoples
has been grounded through steeples.
Natural rebirth
means unity outlasts net worth.
Speak native code, nurture its might,
before it’s sold outright.
A colorfolk display of freedom.
Unh, unh, unh!
Without proper home training,
whose child will lead ‘em?
Whitewash can be neutralized with silt.
Actually, whitewash can be annihilated with silt.
In other words,
bathing in the Nile removes all guilt.
I’ve seen the night!
And it always rises!
If only on stilts.
Our language, our beliefs,
our clothing, our food --
blacklist of Negritude.
