power to the people and power to the mind!



conscious plat articulating so soulfully to free the mind of illusion because the illusion of what we think reality is, is imprisoning the mind. ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. and as you know, we are not free.

black doll white doll



the original "doll study" was in 1950 conducted by Kenneth Clark, a black psychologist, to prove the point that racial segregation destroyed the self-esteem of blacks and therefore schools should be desegregated. although by law today, schools are "desegregated" (we know that people of color and whites are, for the most part, separated), a negative connotation attached to the mere word black and all other aspects still heavily persists...therefore the results have not changed.

no more prisons



how is it that we, mainly Africans and Razas, represent over 70% of prisoners caged up, yet we only make up 25% of the total u.s. population? the u.s. government claims that prisons are used to "solve" our "social problems", but in reality, it is masking an infrastructure that is committed to slavery and genocide. build them and fill them. there is a hidden agenda or maybe not so hidden, to socially control, disenfranchise and capitalize on [next to] free labor of our people. locking up our people will not eliminate the social problems that we have in the u.s., it will eliminate human beings, in particular, those who are from racially and economically marginalized communities.

some of the corporations that are benifitting from the prison industrial complex are Motorola, IBM, Chevron, Starbucks, Victoria's Secret...the list goes on.
