Excerpt from an early documentary exploring the Nation of Islam and anti-NOI movments of the time. It was filmed in 1959.
White vs. Black
always and forever.
it should be more that White + Black = Always and Forever (Yin Yang)
It's Crazy that the Broadcaster's decided to Title this with the emphasis on HATE!
suggesting that Black people incite the HATRED...
Frack,
I 'HATE' the ignorance of ignorance...
Check out the Autobiography of Malcolm X.

All I have to say is... in this world, the way you act towards others will bring in consequences both good and bad, in the future generation.
Treat someone bad today, that person will treat someone bad tomorrow...which may eventually lead someone to treat you or someone you know badly...or if not your grandchildren will feel the repercussions...Karma.
Therefore if only people can learn to follow the golden rule...
Treat others the way you wish to be treated...
NOW!
then can we find a sense of peace and harmony.
KEEP IT R.E.A.L!!!
Letting Individuals Vent out Energy! My internal rantings expressed in quotes, poems, or long stream of conscious notes, to remind and inspire myself (and also hopefully anyone who reads this) to strive for perfection. Continuous progression to the point of failure? When you FAIL, you are at the same point as When you SUCCEED. You still have to decide what to do next... Live 4 Greatness. Live 4 G...

Change Yourself, Change the World
The following words were written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in the Crypts of Westminster Abbey. I picked them especially because it talks about change, and changing ourselves, knowing that change should begin with us.
“When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change. So I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, on one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me. But, alas, they would have none of it. And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: if I had only CHANGED myself first, then by example, I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I might have even changed the world.”
I realize this as well.
The world is TOO complex, as a whole. But individually... well its still complex. We're constantly changing. Every second, every breath we take, we change.
Revolutions happen with the collective force of each individuals beliefs. It takes one person to spark up a thought that could inspire people to band together and do something... but its keeping the people banded together that's the problem.
I feel so caught up sometimes in trying to do something to change the world; something i have no control over.
Instead I should be focusing on changing myself first, or rather learn to accept my place, accept the WACKNESS around me and embrace it. Without it, I wouldn't have anything to contemplate about.
All i can say for now is, I Cannot Change the world, but I can Change your View of it.
Peace
