No Title

We must be aware of the ways that the allure of conformity can thwart revolutionary responses. The American way of life is constructed to crush individuality and eliminate difference. To ostracize those that cannot stomach the hypocrisy that lies at the foundation of the American way of life. So to those I say, continue to stand in defiance of conformity and the ways it seeks to invade our private lives. We must continue to fight against entities that seek to create monolithic monsters that define for the masses what life should look like. Our lives must if nothing else be struggles against those that seek to redefine freedom through oppressive motifs. Life's essence begins to diminish when we lose sight of what really matters. The struggle continues even if most ignore its consistent presence.

What Happens

What happens when our apathy turns into a weapon for the oppressors in their war against the oppressed? When the silence from our inactivity speaks louder than the most memorizing speech? These are the questions that we must ask because at times it seems that evil has righteousness in a choke hold. And at times our lack of passion can be disheartening. Maybe, it is not our lack of passion but simply our lack of courage to truly challenge the evil entities that continuously corrupt the principals that American stands on? You see, those that stand for justice cannot inherit the legacy of freedom fighters if they our unwilling to fight. True fighters recognize that the acceptance of injustice is the ultimate crime because it highlights a spirit of fear. We cannot be afraid to stand when no one else is standing. We must be true to the mission of those that embrace the struggle. That the eradication of oppression is the only goal and that there can be no concession when it comes to the issue of Liberation. Let's Get Free!

Words of the Movement

FREEDOM,STRUGGLE,REVOLUTION, LOVE,PEACE,CONSCIOUSNESS, COMMUNITY, SELFLESSNESS,


These words define the movement. The movement begins when we recognize our conditions and begin to agitate for more. The struggle can only begin when we unite on themes and notions based on selflessness. Our struggle is truly righteous and to create a seismic shift in the way the world operates is the goal. It might not be possible but the goal is to not be bound by the conventions of what's possible but to struggle to envision a picture of humanity worth fighting for. Lets Get Free!

Silent Salutes

At times it is easy to silently salute corruption. To allow for the magnitude of injustice to overwhelm one into a passive acceptance of those things that damage the soul. It is difficult to not become convinced that oppression and inequality are staples of society and will forever scar the tapestry of our humanity. However, we must be aware of the way that fatalism has become an essential component of our culture used to ensure our inactivity. Thus,we must recognize that the power to change society lies in the presence of motivated people. It is imperative to see that the ghost of oppression and evil grow by our unwillingness to challenge their presence.Ultimately, we can challenge these entities by the way that we choose to live our lives. Our struggle against the status quo will speak to those who are afraid to break from the shackles of conformity. Let's Get Free!

Good Hair

Can we get others to see our beauty if we don't believe in that beauty ourselves? Black Beauty has long been ignored and devalued to the point were countless young brothers and sisters are raised in environments that teach anti-black ideologies. So we must be honest about the seeds of inferiority sowed into the very soil of the black community. It is this reality that sets the stage for the countless identity issues that black people face in a world hostile to their very existence. So there must be a challenge to an American system that seeks to indoctrinate black people with ideas that make them hostile to themselves. As long as the African American community is defining itself by white standards issues of Good Hair will continue to plague our communities. At some point we must redefine ourselves on our terms in order to break free from the shackles of self-hate that seek to cripple any possibilities for liberation. Let's Get Free

To Never Tire

To never tire in the struggle for liberation is the mission. It is imperative to not faint even though it seems like injustice is forever gaining traction. Although, the misery of the masses continues and fractures continue to create cracks in our supposed democracy. We must continue to be moved by the idea that liberation and radical change are possible. To hold onto this belief one must recognize the courageousness of the task to embrace revolutionary consciousness in the midst of apathetic times. It is not easy but necessary and we must recognize that their must always be lights of consciousness that continually light the path towards freedom for those brothers and sisters that still grapple in the dark for meaning. So, let's remain vigilant in the face of grotesque social evil and hold onto the idea that the time for revolution is near. Let's Get Free!

Get Free From What?

When I speak of getting free I wonder at times if people ask the question, getting free from what? I know for many America represents a place where extreme privilege is birthright and the idea that there is more and that we should strive beyond our own ambitions is insane. However, it is this very mindset that I am seeking to get free from. A mindset that perpetuates selfishness and indifference and makes true change impossible. True freedom cannot be attained without extreme sacrifice and the current American ideology diminishes the importance of sacrifice. So, when I say Let's Get Free I am saying lets break from the apathy and indifference that makes the idea of change nothing more than political jargon to be espoused by those that think revolution is a seasonal occupation that livens up there otherwise cushy lives. Let's become more consciousness and recognize that with consciousness there must come a change in our outlook and our actions. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP!

An Apathetic State

How do we struggle against entities that remain invisible? This is the question of the twenty first century as the blatant arm of racism has been replaced by a more devious adaptation that relies on systematic bigotry to keep order while seeking to reserve the luxury of privilege to remain in the hands of a few. This new form of oppression requires that we sharpen our vision to detect the persistent brutality of this invisible monster. We cannot allow for that which remains hidden to lull us into a mind state where we begin to minimize evils presence. America is infested with the disease of racism and the appearance of remission does not mean that we have completely healed from the damages of racism and the ways it has ravaged our democracy. No, it requires that we remain pro-active in the struggle to make America a more just society for everyone. Let's Get Free

Malcolm X

"Revolutions are based upon bloodshed. Revolutions are never compromising. Revolutions are never based upon negotiations. Revolutions are never based upon any tokenism whatsoever. Revolutions are never even based upon that which is begging a corrupt society or a corrupt system to accept us into it. Revolutions overturn systems. And there is no system on this earth which has proven itself more corrupt, more criminal, than this system that in 1964 still colonizes 22 million African Americans, still enslaves millions of Afro-Americans. There is no system more corrupt than a system that represents itself as the example of freedom, the example of democracy, and can go all over this earth telling other people how to straighten out their house, when you have citizens of this country who have to use bullets if they want to cast ballot."
