Are you familiar with John Taylor Gatto's Underground History of American Education?
If not, check it out.
I came to political Black partisanship by way of a stretch of cognitive activism. Thanks to a lengthy correspondance and collaboration with a great programmer focused on issues of mind and culture and how some people come to resist or be naturally immune to dopaminergy - I came to the realization that the Black cultural aesthetic is in large measure a defensive adaptation against cultural and psychological predation by dopaminergic culture (which is almost identical with western culture). In fact American Black culture it is the strongest and most durable bulwark against dopaminergy in the world.
Our cultural aesthetic, while quite thoroughly western in many regards, and clearly in this world - is not entirely of this world, n'ahmeen? Ishmael Reed prolly came closer than anybody else to narratively distilling and capturing the essence of the thing.
(Dumain's critical flip-flop on Reed is equally fascinating and well worth considering for what it represents, as well)

LA Unified Schools, one of the biggest in the country, no longer celebrate Christmas. That century old national tradition and sacred religious holiday can now only be referred to as "Winter Break" or "The Holidays".
They took "Christ" out of Christmas but we have a holiday for Demons and Witches. Halloween is a big deal these days. EVERYBODY participates.
Not yet. But consider it done. It's the only path available. Now is better than later for everybody. Go Bulls.
"We told Barak to fire the little fake fag gospel singer, but he wouldn't listen. Says he is afraid to lose the "black vote"? Yeah. Right. Like those welfare recipients vote.
My wife could have coached Jordan, Pippen, Shaq and Kobe to a couple of championships.
"We have people on the front line'

"I had to cop out to 3 1/2," Prodigy said during the interview. "It's serious right now. The hip hop cops, they all over us son. They took my bullet-proof truck, they found a lil hammer in my car, so know I gotta do a lil' 3 1/2.
Yea man, lets go and phuck up some dogs for kicks. Groovy yea, lets rip em apart. Maybe some of us will get a hard on.
Nah man, let's go crucify a person for phuckin' up some dogs. Let's really stick it to 'em. Let's focus national scorn on this dog abuser. Let's paint him as the worst, most evil man in America. Yeah. Let's start a slogan "Neuter Vick!" Yeah. That's the ticket.

Millions of fans around the world were yesterday digesting the news that one of the main characters in the Harry Potter novels, Albus Dumbledore, is gay.
Just as Mel Gibson’s movie ‘Kill Jesus’ (not to be confused with ‘Kill Bill’) introduced millions to the joys of “Christian” sadism & masochism, the Harry Potter books and movies have promoted the Occult and Secret World of Witchcraft.
To anonymous: Grammar is the structure and form of language, pronunciation is the way that it sounds when spoken out loud. I'm sure you feel in your heart of hearts that a person that speaks in such a manner is a fool, but realistically pronunciation (and really even spelling) is and can be as fluid as the vagaries of dialect allow. Who is to say that american's don't sound ignorant for speaking sans an english accent? What gives legitimacy to one evolution of pronunciation, but not another. Essentially, your point is a truism without real meaning, and thats essentially my point: as black people, we are focused on truisms rather than actual meaning. For us, everything is related intimately to dignity and morality. "A person should not speak like that", we think to ourselves, but what about the quality of the thoughts that the speech is attempting to convey? The problem, in my opinion, is that blacks (through circumstance and no real fault of our own) have been taught to preach, not to debate. Stop shucking and jiving. Homie.
Ten-year old Salee Allawee lost both of her legs in a U.S. air strike last year. The same attack killed her 13-year-old brother and her best friend. Salee's sister was also injured and lost part of her foot. Salee is learning how to walk again thanks
to the organization No More Victims. The group brought her here last December to receive a pair of prosthetic legs. We speak with Salee and her father, Hussein Allawee Feras.
Promoter Ulysses “DJ Lish” Barnes cancelled the event at Detroit’s Club APT after word of the party spread on the Internet, triggering a flood of angry emails and phone calls from around the country and highlighting tensions that sometimes flare between darker-skinned and lighter-skinned African-Americans.
“I made a mistake,” Barnes, who describes himself as a “dark-skinned” African-American, told the Detroit News. “I didn’t think there would be a backlash.”
"I didn't mean to offend anyone," he said. "I had planned a party for other shades (of black women). We were going to take a shade of color each week. Next week was going to be a party for 'Sexy Chocolate' and the week after that ‘Sexy Caramel.'”
Barnes told the Detroit News that he plans to host an event to raise money for a charity to make up for any problems or pain he caused over the party flier.
Personally, I am not offended by it at all.
