Damn ?uest....you are speaking truth. Especially when you said..."all of cash money is keyboards yet i hear no bitching. so cats on that hating shit can suck my dick." I bet alot of people didn't even know that about CMB. Instead of hating on certain groups that are in the "mainstream" listen to the music. Is it originality that we are looking for or "realness"? Not saying I'm a fan of CMB, but I respect that much about them. Why would anyone hate on the soulquarians? But then again, alot of people used to hate on artist that were before their time.
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!
