“I have always found that, without the requisite philosophical overlay, merely teaching people a series of psychomotor skills does little to enhance their survivability.
To most of the “grass-eater” people, victimization, like cancer, is something that will probably get us all at some point. They resist thinking about it, because they don’t want to go through the disciplined drudgery of self-improvement.
As trainers, we therefore must spoon feed them the hard, lumpy, bad-tasting medicine of truth.”

In 1985 Ebony Magazine predicts what Michael Jackson would have looked like at 40. They were way off.
Ebony Magazine
1985Epic FAIL on Ebony Magazine’s end there. Then again I’m sure no one could’ve predicted the way he did end up looking like in the 2000’s. How great would that be though if he did look like this? He could’ve totally starred in Star Wars Episode 1 as Lando Calrissian’s father. Amirite?

“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history, Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster… The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.” – Milan Kundera
The Father’s Song
That’s another day gone by, son, close your eyes
For the moon is chasing clouds across the skies
Got to sleep and have no fear, son
For your mam and dad are near, son
And the giant is just a shadow on the wall
Go to sleep and when you wake it will be light
There’s no need to fear the darkness of the night
It’s not like the dark you find, son
In the depths of some men’s minds, son
That defies the daily coming of the dawn
Stop crying now, let daddy dry your tears
There’s no bogeyman to get you, never fear
There’s no ogres, wicked witches
Only greedy sons-of-bitches
Who are waiting to exploit your life away
Lie easy in your bed and grow up strong
You’ll be needing all your strength before too long
For you’ll soon be on your way, son
Fighting battles every day, son
With an enemy who thinks he owns the world
Don’t you let ‘em buy you out or break your pride
Don’t you let yourself be used then cast aside
If you listen to their lying
They will con you into dying
You won’t even know that you were once alive
No more talking now it’s time to go to sleep
There are answers to your questions but they’ll keep
Go on asking while you grow, son
Go on asking till you know, son
And then send the answers ringing through the world

New York State Senate mass fired 200 whites, replaced them with minorities.
They’re not very shy about things. I guess they don’t need to be when they know that they can get pull it off. And no white folks would call em on it for fear of being deemed a *gasp* “racist”. Irony is fun.
