people how stupid they're being by their own example.

They've been spending most their lives,Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives,Living in a pastime paradise
They've been wasting most their time,Glorifying days long gone behind
They've been wasting most their days,In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
Tell me who of them will come to be,How many of them are you and me
Dissipation
Race Relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation...to the evils of the world
They've been spending most their lives,Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives,Living in a future paradise
They've been looking in their minds,For the day that sorrows gone from time,They keep telling of the day
When the Savior of love will come to stay,Tell me who of them will come to be,How many of them are you and me
Proclamation of Race Relations
Consolation
Integretion
Verification
of Revelations
Acclamation
World Salvation
Vibrations
Stimulation
Confirmation...to the peace of the world
They've been spending most their lives,Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives,Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives,Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives,Living in a future paradise
We've been spending too much of our lives,Living in a pastime paradise,Let's start living our lives,Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives,Living for the future paradise,Shame to anyones lives
Living in the pastime paradise
Pastime Paradise-Steveie Wonder (1976)


The brutal truth is that the bulk of white people in America never had any interest in educating black people, except as this could serve white purposes. It is not the black child's language that is in question, it is not his language that is despised: It is his experience. A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled. A child cannot be taught by anyone whose demand, essentially, is that the child repudiate his experience, and all that gives him sustenance, and enter a limbo in which he will no longer be black, and in which he knows that he can never become white. Black people have lost too black children that way. (James Baldwin)

Honor the Iris's in your life!

RIP James "Jay Dee" Yancey


religion is the aspiration of man toward an idealized existence, in which the functions of god and man are harmonious, even identical. (c)amiri baraka
