MLK was a real gangsta, he contributed to the high black male recidivism rate but for a worthy cause! lol! We need to reexamine what the word gangster means! Gangsters and guerrillas are always discredited yet "America" was founded on this same notion many fold. The Declaration of Independence was GANGSTER. It was deemed treasonous by Great Britain. Those revolutionaries risked their lives for their "beliefs". They had something to GAIN and nothing to FEAR! Let's not mention killing Native Americans, importing Africans as slaves and annexing Mexico and Canada.

The way history is told, perpetuating myths as facts, heralding mass murderers, thieves, slave owners, etc as HEROES and naming streets, schools, housing projects, libraries, parks, etc after them is hideous.

I hereby present some evidence... if you have more, PLEASE submit:

1. Peter Stuyvesant, responsible for making NYC the largest slave port north of Charleston South Carolina (hence your beloved Bed-Sty and the prestigious Stuyvesant High School)

2. Thomas Jefferson (who owned 144 slaves, some of whom were his own children:) .. ever read Slave Life at Monticello http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/slaves/

3. James Madison-I live on Madison Ave in Harlem:(:(:(........ a "Founding Father" who also owned slaves. I particulalry love this link becuase it does exactly what I have been stating which is ... revere him as a hero despite the opening line of him owning slaves- complete with trivia questions! http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Was_James_Madison_a_slave_owner

4. Columbus sheesh Columbus Day and Columbus Circle?!?!??!?! are you serious? "Christopher Columbus not only opened the door to a New World, but also set an example for us all by showing what monumental feats can be accomplished through perseverance and faith." --George H.W. Bush, 1989 speech How revisionist!

From http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1011-27.htm

Columbus and his men also used the Taino as sex slaves: it was a common reward for Columbus' men for him to present them with local women to rape. As he began exporting Taino as slaves to other parts of the world, the sex-slave trade became an important part of the business, as Columbus wrote to a friend in 1500: "A hundred castellanoes (a Spanish coin) are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten (years old) are now in demand."

Ok so I'm getting MAD lol. If you would like more information about our "Heroes" please read Howard ZINN's classic A People's History of the United States http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_11?field-keywords=howard+zinn+a+people%27s+history+of+the+united+states&url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&x=0&y=0&sprefix=howard+zinn

The point I'm making here is that America's twisted definitions of Heroes and Gangsters has some people adopting self-destructive behaviors but are given record deals and movies. The swag and hip of society can get "dress-up" like their

Cause célèbre Che Guevera and swag up and down the street. People love to dress up like "rebels" and stores are ready to supply you with spikes, tattoos, fishnets and piercings. America produces movies like The Killers with clean cut people in suits brandishing GUNS- while real gangsters like the current Wall Street protestors are held to a level of scrutiny that not even our "Founding Fathers" have to adhere to today and are not given the light of day! Halloween is a distraction and no where near as scary as our current reality.

And now a word from our sponsor-

“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

“You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.”

Hello fellow human. I am writing you because it's 3:48am and I'm mad.

Rrrrrrrrr is a vibratory frequency i rarely resonate due to my vacillation between my fear and ego-based mere mortal reality and my pseudo-existential metaphysical rage AGAINST the machine. Basically, I know that being
"mad" or having any form of negative emotion compromises your immune system for at least 10 hours. I also know that white sugar also kills your immune system and also robs your body of nutrients. Hence I've conditioned myself to indulge in neither rage or white sugar. I spend my days adding cheer to the homeless and contemplating the massive waste of water induced by automatic toilet flushers. I question, but I never get MAD about it, because I don't wanna catch a cold. lol But tonight is that rare occasion when I am actually MAD.

I think MAD is good! Is shutting up and allowing injustices to plauge you and future generations worth getting invited to wine and stinky cheese fundraisers for these injustices? In this juedo-christian society there has been a value put on suffering. From MLK to from-ghetto-to-FAB rappers ("I used to eat sardines for dinner..."), we in america cheer for the underdog and elevate martyrs to an immortal status. Yet today we are spineless, pleasant, polite pansies blowing in a whirlwind of dashed hopes in exchange for smart phones. Our petals perfume the air instead of posion the status quo. We have instant access to all the depressing news available, yet this new banquet-funderariser form of passive resistence that we at times partake, does not yield the same freedoms as our heroes. To use a tattered cliche, you can't have your cake and eat it too. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

and ur POINT is?

been too long.. gone too far.. gotta speakUP.. silence is suicide silence is suicide..

no palm tree

no fig leaves

no tranquility or rest for the weary

no tree of knowledge no figments of imagination

just filaments...

eureka moments

lightning in the night sky

dancing daisies and lilies

dunks without assists

sidelined assets

asses the situation

default lines and little white lies

sighs of relief and assisted suicides

lazy crazy indoor neighbors

silent tour guides

and friendly fire

I'm in a NY state of mind. But really i'm a globalist who fully conforms to singularity and group think. I'm mad that my journals are wet due to constant rain. My organic coconut oil is now slightly solid. Forever 21 uses sweat shop labor. I spring clean once a week. Sometimes making sense is soooooo overrated!

This is an experiment.. I REPEAT this is an experiment. I'm wiser now and realize that nothing should be taken TOO serious. So talk amongst yourselves... topic is fans as air purifiers. Report back with a final answer.... i'm marinating on final solutions.
