If some white boys did this to an opera soundtrack ... it would win awards at Cannes and your kids would be studying it in college.; Apr 21, 2011, 11:43:00 AM

Denmark Vesey said...: Nooooo....

you totally misread that one Cash.

The artistic merits of Mr. Flocka's meditation on the psychological phenomenon of dauntless determination expressed as preemptive strike is illustrated brilliantly in this short-film. Visually, it's unlike anything ever done in the rap genre.

This piece is ahead of its time.

The reference to white boys is a meditation upon the reluctant tendency of some Negros to celebrate the creative achievements of some young black men ... simply because they are young black men.

The tendency is to reduce and dismiss.

Thus ... the same Negros who repeat the Plantation mantra that "dey aint tawkin' 'bout nuffin' cept gunz and dwugz' ...

Will be the first Negros in line to see the upcoming GOTTI movie from Hollywood.

They don't mind white film directors using the powerful metaphor of violence and guns in their work ... but when black men partake ... they are reduced to nothing more than redundant monkeys who worship violence for the sake of violence.

Hope that clears it up.; Apr 21, 2011, 6:13:00 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?"
