Gee Chee Is The Most Dynamic Intellect On The Internet

GCV -
how familiar are you with the hierarchy and finances of the NOI?
Do you believe they have an adept system of organizational governance?

I’m not invested in the Nation that way. It’s about the collective of movements functioning as (as the Panthers put it) “Propaganda units.” African slaves/Seminole Indians, Garvey, WEB/Robeson/Chairman Mao, Father Divine, Drew Ali, NOI/Sun Ra/Parliament mother ship connection, Panthers, Zulu Nation/Rap, 70’s black youth & Bruce Lee etc. etc. etc. The preservation of these personalities & movements replete with their intersecting cosmologies, the underlining theme of redefining one’s significance and purpose within restricted space. The escapism they suggest be it to Africa or the deep reaches of uninhabitable space.

The discipline of improv in religion, music and struggle.

I’m just an archivist sampling all of this into my art.

damn near quintessential statement of Blackness.

Can you see applications of it in science and technology, as well?; Mar 9, 2010, 10:22:00 PM

"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."

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.

"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?"
