Dear CRT,
Where were you when we needed you?
I can only imagine that you were still in your infancy in the basement of Columbia University when we were having to take Pharaoh Sanders records into our basements, Idris Ackamoor and Sun Ra and his Arkestra. Yes! A sermon from Sun House all day, no crt textbooks to reeducate us. Oh yeah!… there was Nina
ooh’ Nina’, Nina Simone, Jessye Norman and Rokia Traore’ 3 voices that can overthrow matter. The eternity of floundering through 5 seconds of Alice Coltrane’s voice to enjoin the Soul’s journey through universal consciousness…all on our own.
We had to embrace the big bad scary world through the humanities!
Damn!
We were left with the desolate ‘pointless’ cavernous void of World Music<Art>Dance….left groping for some thread of spiritual cohesion….all without you.
Fela took me in…..
I wonder why we just didn’t cancel culture sooner…bring in more enlightened theories on critical race? Things would have been so much easier.
Where were you?
This doesn’t seem fair either:
A family member, one of three not-black-kids in a mid-west school system, epicenter of the inner-city projects. He had no taste for lynching. Despite his hazings and regular beatings, thrown out the window in a garbage can every May day….discovered reggae, married a black Haitian….had a bunch of mixed babies. For some strange reason he sorted all that out without you, chalked it up to immaturity, faulted tv (maybe) and the abuse that we all felt at the hands of the school industrial prison complex….?
For him, for all us, savants
, I guess I ask how did we do it and where were you?
I looked at reverse, forward, backward and upside down racism, I looked at e-racism Pope L. and M. Sanger…..I wasn’t confused by their opposing madness…. somehow I found a happy home….with the limited tools I had.
Dear Crt,
It’s not too late to still help us out. I was gonna ask you about something that’s bothering me. When Director General Tedros of the WHO declared lock down despite knowing the catastrophic implications of lockdown, since the The World Food Bank was publicly estimating that, “as a result of lockdown…42 million Africans may fall into absolute poverty, reversing a decade of gains”, and he ignored that advice (for the world that they were estimating at +-10%).1
‘do black lives matter’ ???
or pink, feathered yellow, scaley red or perhaps furry gold???
Are hundreds of millions of lives and a nuclear level economic catastrophe still more than 1million lives attributed to this CVskamdemonium?
This sign says, (yes) among other things, Black Over White Lives Matter.
Matter is the grossest element of life….NONE OF US (are) MATTER
How much $money$ do people pay for these banners? If we just collected Blm, Crt and Faceskam money could we
restore a few ‘gains’ against
‘absolute’ poverty?
Long live the propagandistic machines that churn out polarity consciousness through organized reeducation programs.
Long live John Gilmore, The Supplicants and the Mtume Umoja Ensemble!………………….
