3. "Is there something wrong with reading Third World Press?" In response to In response to 0
Does it threaten you when coloured folks (assuming you are white) read about the oppression of third world people and don't invite you to the party? I don't mean to come across so harsh, but I want to challenge you to think through what you find questionable a little further. I'm not saying that I agree with Welsing's views on white people, but surely Talib, Lauryn and all people interested in pressing political issues should have all the right in the world to read controversial things and discuss their ideas publicly without fear of being persecuted. "Should I say this on the mic?" he asks. Well, its quite evident that when Lauryn expressed herself openly people made up all sorts of grotesque things about her. I'm sure Talib is speaking to the fact that he is openly speaking about their ideas knowing that people might not receive them well but that he will not let himself become censored. I say good for him.
