Whats Up! Black America ?
Min. Paul Scott
Whats Happnin?, Whats Good ? These are all popular
greetings of the Black Experience. Most of us say at
least one of these phrases several times a day. Most
of the time we say them in passing and never stick
around to find out the answer. Its just something you
say out of habit and keep moving.
answer is just to painful. With all the problems that
Black folks go through on a daily basis, most times we
are like that Sista from that 70s movie, The Wiz
yellin dont nobody bring me no bad news. Or Melle
Mel from that classic Hip Hop Jam dont push me cuz
Im close to tha edge Im tryin not to loose my
head
a huh huh huh.
really ask ourselves and each other, what is really
going on as we enter 2004. Not as a rhetorical
question but as a starting point by which we begin to
address our issues through a thorough analysis of our
condition.
vote this year? Or will you take matters into your own
hands and establish an independent Afrikan community
based on FREEDOM and JUSTICE. Will you keep playing
the same political game that you have played over and
over again that since white folks were nice enough to
give you the right to vote you will patiently wait for
a great white hope to come riding in on a white horse
only to find yourself four years later waiting for a
different white hope to come riding in on the same
white horse?
protest rallies against police brutality in the
morning only to call the same police when you find
that someone broke into your house when you get back
that night. Or are you going to get the Brothas on
your block away from the NBA and Beyonce videos and
organize them to make sure that our Sistas and young
children are able to walk the streets at night.
culture this year from those who have stolen it and
used it to make us the laughing stock of the planet ?
Are you going to make Black radio really Black by
making them give you something to think about while
you are dancing? Or are you going to keep calling
radio station trying to request something culturally
uplifting while a DJ laughs at you while playing Lil
John and the Ying Yang Twins over and over again.
control of your Hip Hop Minds, your Hip Hop souls and
your Hip Hop spirit this year ? Or are you going to
keep pretending that we still control Hip Hop and it
is somehow exempt from a white supremacist system
that has used any and everything from music to
religion to keep us in a perpetual slave mode.
a slave religion that was given to you to make you
serve the white man as a god beside God. While you are
on your knees praying for a heaven when you die the
white man is busy creating a hell for you and your
childrens great grand children?
or is it easier to be caught up in a fantasy world
where everything is fine and dandy and racism only
exists in the minds of a few misguided souls with too
much time on their hands?
Resurrection of our people from spiritual and mental
darkness. Ask me whats good Black America. That I
was born an Afrikan, a member of a proud race who in
the fullness of time will rise again. Ask me whats
up Black America. The level of conscious of Afrikan
people that will no longer except our current
condition but vow to live as the Creator made us to
live, FREE.
Yeah, thats whats up.
