Java Head was rather dope last night. Cats were on the corner under 5- 0 surveillance after the spoit shut down around 12:30...for real! The wo's left after they saw it was just poetry, but damn... Feels good to intellectually build with folks with complete lack of regard for time, even when I don't consider myself a "intellectual". Sure, I think I'm a pretty smart guy, but I don't know...I'm often very simple and unassuming with my shit. I'm not really enetering an intellectual fray unless I can contribute, I'll just soak it up and formulate my own opinions in my skull. Some folks...don't do that. Of course, revolution was one f the catch phrases of the night. With talks of revolution, the feasibility of said revolution must also be discussed, and it was. Folks gotta realize tho', revolution doesn't always have to be about takin' guns into the street. In fact, it ain't too smart to do so against an entity that could literally send a missile to your address from halfway across the world if they chose to. They were capable of shit like that in the 70's, ya'll. Why can';t revolution be a change in the manner you do things? Resource pooling within communities, shit like that. I hope folks ain't on no animal farm type shit tryin' to overthrow the last czar and what- not. Those days are gone. I'm not suggesting stand down, but we have to know what to stand up for. You should be willing to risk everything for a revolution. Are you willing to risk the lives of your loved ones, your home, everything you've worked for...your life? It's easy to say you'll die for a cause, but would you risk the lives of your children just for a chance to live "better". That's what 1917 Russia was about, that's what Nat Turner was about, what John Brown was about. You that bout it?
Not saying there are no poor Jewish people, but Jewish folks have come up since the early 1900's. Peep, ghettos were what Jewish people lived in during the early 1900's. Then you had the depression and the holocaust, yet a lot of the funding for the Harlem Renaissance was from Jewish pockets...Hollywood blossomed from the funds of Jewish investors. Granted, blacks in america have been under attack much longer, but the Jewish folks created a revolution in a financial sense. I'm just saying, we gotta be willing to back each other, and when somebody backs you...don't spend it on dumb shit. Put the money to work. We got all these young cats flashin bling bling like that chain or car didn't instantly depreciate the moment it left the store or lot.
Okay, I'm off my soapbox...hit my message/bored if you agree/ disagree/ just want to say hi, etc.
