It was really over when Martin and Malcolm disappeared from the scene. They could've built bridges between militancy and nonviolence and mounted a united thrust. Successfully overthrowing the government was never going to happen but who knows what couldv'e been accomplished if they had both lived. IMO

Cynique,

Either that.

Or Martin and Malcolm would have gotten old, tired and disheartened. They would have become complacent and sold out for the dough, thus becoming perplexing, regrettably comical caricatures of themselves (ala a Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., Minister Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Al Sharpton, etcetera, etcetera...etcetera.).

No, I don't believe that ABM.

That's why....as opposed to Ron Karenga, Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and so many other types of "Black Power Leaders" who are still alive.....these two had to be EXTERMINATED.

Truly. Read the speeches of King and Malcolm. It's as SOUND and epic and Sincere as the Bible Scriptures.

These men were the real McCoy. They had to be taken out.

Malcolm would have left here for Africa. We already know that by his great visits and his love for the continent.

Martin was about to become "less peaceful".

Seriously.

If this man was still alive and told me to jump off a cliff to save our people.

I would do it.

Kola,

I hope what you say is true. But we'll never really know what Martin and Malcolm would and could have done.

Alas. All we have left of them are dreams that are STILL much more fantasy than reality.

Ironically, Malcolm might have been better served via training that gun on his on the NOI.

Of course, it was his own people who killed him.

Look at Lumumba in Congo.

It's always that way.

And...........

how dare you ask the question and then say "POOF", we'll simply never know.

I was washing a plate, Wise King, to set your own bit of speculation on.

None of the ones left living have EVER possessed the power, brilliance and sincerity of King and Malcolm.

They can all TALK a good game, though.

Jackson and Farrakhan can OUT-talk Malcolm and King. But the sacrifice isn't there.

What do you think about the fact that MLK has NO (declared) grandchildren?

What the FOCK is THAT about?

I think it's very sad.

And I'm also very sad how Malcolm's kids turned out.

I've been pregnant with 6 boys (albeit only 2 alive)...and I just wish I could have had a son for him.

With my mind, that would be the baddest MOFO walking.

I guess it's the African in me...believing that a man MUST have a son. It's prejudiced, but that's how I am. I'm Nilotic.

Sad, sad about Dr. King though.

Funny. I don't (to my knowledge...Hehehehe!!!) have any sons. But that doesn't really bother me any. Honestly, I never really think about that.

I feel really blessed to have my 2 girls.

I guess I figure I hope to live long enuff for my daughters to possibly have sons.

Or maybe I'll yield to my wife's pleas to adopt.

I have a good friend ABM from Kenya.

She's married to a Black American guy, Harold.

She has 3 daughters---he loves their daughters to death!

He says he doesn't care if they never have a boy. Those girls are HIS GIRLS.

But Lira has so much anxiety over the fact she hasn't had a boy.

She told me that she doesn't feel like a woman yet, because she hasn't had a boy. She feels guilt and cries about it sometimes.

Harold could give a shit.

It's a CULTURAL thing.

African women go through major trauma if they don't have at least one boy.

Why is that? Is it some kind of "I've failed or dishonored the family lineage!" thing or something?

And don't yawl know it's mostly the sperm (male) who dictates the sex of children?

In Africa....the "son" is what women are for.

EVERYTHING is based on the birth of an heir.

The King's throne.
The Warrior Mask passing down
The drum players (who can only be males)

African men LOVE the wife who bears the most sons.

A woman who gives birth to 6 or more sons...aquires the status of MANHOOD herself in Africa.

I don't live in Africa.

Seriously.

I'm just telling you how we are socialized.

But yes---they have a WOMAN CHIEF now in Botswana. She rules over 30,000 warriors!

And the Xosha tribe is allowing women warriors now.

The Ethiopians always had women warriors.

But Africa is TESTERONE. It's a MAN's land.



OVERALL

Could you, if earnestly urged to, rule over an African country INCLUDING its men?

Well...instead of giving me my rightful Commander title in the SPLA....THE MEN....named me "Queen Kola".

Sure it can be done.

But you'd better have all the right MEN backing you.

Or be like Winnie Mandela, the "mother" of South Africa, who is much more beloved in that country than her famous husband is.

So you think it's safer for African women to assume some cultural or social power than it is for her to assume actually legal and executive power?

ABM,

I am so tired. I have to go to sleep.

But this has been so wonderful, just vibing with you again. I probably won't be back for a good while...but I miss you so much (all the time, Cowboy).

You know you're my Right Hand Man on the gangsta-lean...sun roof top/digg'n the scene.

Woo-Woo uuuuuh

:-)

Goodnight, King.

Kola
