Liberal vs. Radical









Where I begin to disagree...

1) I don't we are made up of "groups" but I also don't believe in individualism.
  • I believe that we are all one.
  • When we divide ourselves and create these hierarchies we hurt ourselves and go against our nature of oneness.
  • I understand that in functional society there is a great divide of the have and have nots, but I strongly believe focusing on that divide is counterproductive.
  • Anyone advocating revolution should hope that we are creating unity.
2) Education IS necessary.

  • How do we take the systems apart brick by brick without knowing how to?
  • How do we take the systems apart if we don't even realize they are there?
  • I get what she is saying but, there must be a revolution of the mind before there is a manifestation of it.
  • I don't believe everyone has to be on board, nor that we must systematically wait (generations) for people to understand - but I think it's silly to think education isn't a factor.

I do agree that we consent to our oppression.
But, the awful thing is - most people don't even realize they are oppressed.
They think everything is fine.
They are totally oblivious to the fact that a lot of these things are going on.
Which goes back to why I strongly believe that education is such an important factor.



Which are you?

RAGE Day



"July 4 is a holiday celebrated by all Americans. No matter what race, color, or creed most citizens wait for sun down to see the fireworks illuminate the night sky. From the annual “Taste” festival in Chicago, IL, to the laser shows in Stone Mountain, GA, loved ones unite to gaze upon their own version of the war torn sky, littered with bombs and polluted with gun smoke described by Francis Scott Key.

This night in 1776, Britain gave birth to its bastard daughter, America, giving us our annual holiday Independence Day…."





Stole this post from a friend
Because I love his music, and I find it relevant.

Where are our priorities?


In communist countries
everyone has access to education
everyone has access to healthcare
no one is homeless

How important is greed?
At what cost do we fight this fight for the "freedom" to oppress?

Let's Get the Language Right



"They made everything black ugly and evil. Look in your dictionary and see...! .... Look at the word 'white', it's always something pure, high, and clean. Well I want to get the language right"



Have you authored your emancipation?
Are you sure?

The Robbing of Our History



I find this part comical
and part amazing.

I am not Muslim,
but Malcolm X deserves respect and attention.

His intelligence gives me chills.

Do you see why I feel that I do not belong here?
It seems unnatural

The Revolution

People think it's a "fad" or
young radical concept.


Everything I do revolves around preparation.


If it's not my lifetime,
I will learn enough to teach my children
and/or make sure they aren't in America.


But only time will tell.
I hope you're on the right side when the time comes.
