QUOTABLE

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil

speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted,

forgiving one another, even as God in Christ

forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31-32

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise

Than for a man to hear the song of fools.

QUOTABLE

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

US abolitionist (1817 - 1895)

“The intellectual efforts and achievements of real black intellectuals are constantly being undermined by the fools posing as black intellectuals who think using twenty-dollar words is more important than knowing what they mean, and who loudly embrace as truth any idea that seems nice and comfy to them, without bothering about whether it has any connection to reality. I don’t mind that these folks come off as clowns, because that’s all they are. What I do mind is that they discredit all the genuine black intellectuals, just because some moron with a three-piece suit and a thesaurus has been out puffing himself up as the Supreme Intellectual Pinnacle of the Negro Race…”

To have once been a criminal is no disgrace. To remain a criminal is the disgrace. I formerly was a criminal. I formerly was in prison. I’m not ashamed of that. You never can use that over my head, and he is using the wrong stick. I don’t feel that stick. They charged Jesus with sedition. Didn’t they do that? They said he was against Caesar. They said he was discriminating because he told his disciples, “Go not the way of the gentiles, but rather go to the lost sheep.” Go to the people who don’t know who they are, who are lost from the knowledge of themselves and who are strangers in a land that is not theirs. Go to these people. Go to the slaves. Go to the second-class citizens. Go to the ones who are suffering the brunt of Caesar’s brutality.

Got me reminiscing about the “Good Ole Daze” of Hip-Hop, speaking of, I heard a rumor that Chuck-D is lobbying for the slot of presidnet at Def Jam (click picture for story)

we should all throw our hands together and send up hopes and prayers on this one. Base in your face, not an 8-track, Chuck-D would turn that place on its ears. He did a sweet job commentating the tribute to one of the great ones, scratch that the greatest, a couple of years ago. I was wondering when he was going to make his comeback, if there is any balance to the force, he has to bring some levity to the insanity that is his former partners show on that station I won’t mention.
