"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."
Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider - founder Club of Rome - The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105
"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

IS THIS LITTLE GUY A PERSON?
The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science On Society (Routledge Press: New York, 1951).
"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

Yoko Ono is the blackest sista on the planet.
This is one beautiful sista. Pictures can convey such a powerful messsage that words can't quite express.
To see this image and read Anon bigging up Yoko Ono just ain't rite, it's strange.
Can Yoko Ono be a sista when she left her own child to go be with John Lennon who at the time was a married man? She was one of the causes of the breakup of The Beatles bec JL was so infatuated with her and gave her creative authority over the band's music - behind their backs. And her marriage to John Lennon was not a marriage; it was a twisted Mother-Son love. If she was a sista John Lennon would have called her Yoko not Mom.
Is that sista behaviour?
Maaad props to her bec she's a remarkable political activist and has produced some really great art, but her past raises too many kwestins of doubt, IMO.
Kaaay Dub keeping it real.
The sista is so beautiful it's humbling.
still loopy from that DMG KO...,
Who is this "Sista"? I don't know anything about her. True, from the picture she looks like a beautiful person.
KW, see that is the thing about conveniently defining words as you see fit. You always have to explain why and hope the person understands. I don't know why this anonymous brought up Yoko but I assume he/she has his/her own reasons. Why is that strange? He/she is merely bringing up a person who he/she defines as a "sista" I think.
And from what I understand of your definition of the word, it's possible that it can be taken away from a person. Meaning, a "sista" can at any point do something that is non-"sista" which will make her lose the title, right? Can we at the least agree on this?
NEA,
What I was saying is Anon can like whoever they want as a sista I just find it strange one doesn't comment on this sista but brings
up someone who's off the mark.
Yea everyone has their own definition; a word can been seen a million different ways in a million different contexts as I explained in the last thread. And just because it's someone's idea it doesn't mean their idea of a sista isn't open to questioning. It's no different to one expressing an opinion on politics or music.
Taken away, sure. But Yoko Ono never had it in the first place IMO.
"Is that sista behaviour?"
Who knows, nobody has ever said what "sista" behavior is.
While we are at it...
Erykah Badu yes or no?
Great music, what would generally be considered "conscious" music. However, unmarried, three kids, three different baby daddy's (as has been suggested here, this may qualify as "un-sista" behavior).
Damn didn't know about the three different baby daddys. I gotta look that up.
That's the deepest and most fabulous kwestin I've seen broached, here, there, or anywhere for a very long time Doc.
To which I would respond by channeling Ishmael Reed;
Jes Grew is the outbreak of jazz, ragtime, and blues onto the world scene. Jes Grew is a psychic epidemic; it is the spirit of Blackness overtaking America and the world in the 1920's. It is a plague, or rather an anti-plague, which enlivens its victims into dancing, swinging, singing and talking crazy. Jes Grew was a liturgy without a text.
"If it could not find its Text, then it would be mistaken for entertainment."
Erykah Badu hellafull of jes grew!
Badu'n'em - and a significant number of our counterparts here at school - are participants in and/or alumni of that entertainment industry.
That entertainment industry captures, packages, distributes and profits off of the supreme power of jes grew.
I believe that that pimping influence of the entertainment industry shows up in myriad simultaneously engaging and repulsive ways hereabouts, too.
Intense talent without discipline, sacrifice, or MEANING - is almost bound to self-destruct.
There's an interesting essay and 30 year subsequent retraction on the import of Mumbo Jumbo that I find apropos (though utterly mistaken because exoteric and naive)
If Dumain actually knew the esoteric core of Ishmael Reed's work, and if he was sincere rather than filled with fear, I believe he would think differently. Then again, he may just be a jealous peasant unsuccessfully trying to ascertain and enjoin the mystery of jes grew....,
I dropped this tidbit from the archives on my man UBJ yesterday, (who explores this issue with great persistence) and he took it and ran with it.
That goes all the way back to when Cobb shared the stage with other folk at Vision Circle. At that time, even Cobb got it, cause it's neet/reet/complete like that. But then because of the demands of the political plantation (so-called conservatism) from which old boy wished to profit as cultural "producer" - he had to go and pull a Dumain and pretend like he didn't get it anymore.
You can see the evolutionary blind alley into which that's led him...,
Another dead prez quote for you, DV:
She got a mind like Assata/ body like Trina/ heart like my momma nigga tell me have you seen her?
