Sincerely yours, Rebel.

Old SLAVES

trancendent thought patterns.

those before me were not free.
therefore i am not free.
they that "owned" they that came before me
left a legacy of ill thought that has grown thick rooted in the mind of he that is now beside me..
and even though he did not whip.. chain.. or take my free..

his lineage burns like whip black eyes that let me see within the window to that tainted soul-tree of inequity

false though it may be

and its bountiful fruit has been borne out unto thee thee thee.. and thee..
tenfold thy poisonous crop shall we reap and all take a bite from the apple of the sinful vine


socalled modern day society..


a false sense of piety
brings about.. a strangely self replicating mal-adjusted hypocrisy..

but am i better?
waxing lyrically intense..
the mirror of mine own mind projects a self made nubian ubermensch..
nietzches nightmare ryhming in circles
whilst we struggle-nay internally eternally battle
that may we avoid these inevitable self fullfilling prophecies.....

transcended thought patterns of those before me..

i

am not free. he is not free.. you are not free

we. are. not. free.

So So... So Fine

BAD RELIGION

fear not that ye have died for naught, we'll teach the lesson that ye wrought..... so go the final words of the original poppy poem. its a sentiment anyone who's lost someone to war can relate to.. but i get the feeling we haven't truly learned to respect the lessons it spoke of. at all.
i respect the troops.. let me rephrase.. i respect the will and bravery of my grand father and other ww2 vets without whose sacrifice i would be living a completely different existence. i also to a lesser extent respect the heart it takes to put your life on the line and serve ones country, after all i almost did the same.
i do not however respect whats being done overseas today in the name of oppressive freedoms or the position any soldiers out there who are of noble intent are being put in.
it should never be a choice between "supporting our boys" or "condemning warmongers" both causes are one and the same and anyone who tells you different is just another tool of political division. our boys don't deploy themselves to these places and they sure as hell don't tell air command where to drop bombs either.. the pm and politicians do with the help of yours and my taxes. yes. we helped kill all those iraqis afghans and the kids we send out there to fight pointless wars just by being paid, indulging in peaceful riots and sitting on our collective backsides.
imagine the impact if the people who protested against wars joined forces with the ones protesting for the boys stuck out there fighting?
that'd be interesting. but it wont happen. cameron and co. needs you them us at each others throats just long enough so that they can quietly do what they're doing then go on a nice pre-planned million pound spinning book and lecture tour in a few years time while everyone's still scratching their collective heads as to what exactly the fucks happened or changed.

but i digress, putting your life on the line for your country is kinda like going to church. your handing over your body your faith if you will.. to a higher power/cause.. in the sincere hopes and belief your being guided along the right path.. that being the case so far as i can see.. our govt's. been practising some very very bad religion.

Amistad Originals

"The shoe is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott's outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery", Adidas said in a statement.


I was never the biggest adidas fan before this, but now I'm pretty sure they'll never see another penny from me or anyone close to me aslong as they exist. Hopefully others wake up and make the same choice.

They can say they didnt know the significance, but we all know thats ridiculous and we also know theres no way what is also possibly THE ugliest adidas shoe ever should have even made it past design stage.
Meaning this was basically just a cynical shock tactic, a slap in the collective face of every black person who's ever worn the 3 stripes that was no doubt intended to cause a controversial backlash with the sole purpose of keeping adidas "relevant".

Am I shocked a multi-billion pound company has questionable ethics and basically doesnt give two shits about their loyal fashion slaves/customers who they by now must believe will buy ANYTHING they sell them?

No. Im not. And frankly I wouldnt have it even if they give us free...

Let Them Eat Cake............?

Swedish minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth has been accused of participation in a "racist spectacle" where she is seen (above picture) carving up a cake depicting a naked black golliwog caricature has sparked outrage and prompted calls for the minister's dismissal.

"In our view, this simply adds to the mockery of racism in Sweden," Kitimbwa Sabuni, spokesperson for the National Afro-Swedish Association (Afrosvenskarnas riksförbund) told The Local.

"This was a racist spectacle."

Sabuni's comments came following Adelsohn Liljeroth's participation in an alleged "art" installation at Stockholm's Moderna Museet.

As part of the installation, which has retroactively explained as being meant to highlight the issue of female circumcision, the culture minister began cutting a large cake shaped like a black female caricature, symbolically starting at the clitoris.

The artist whom I will not give the satisfaction of publicity by naming & is also strangely enough of mixed origin, created the installation and whose head is part of the cake cut by the minister, allegedly wrote about the 'genital mutilation cake' on a Facebook page bearing his name saying..

"Before cutting me up she whispered, 'Your life will be better after this' in my ear," in a caption next to the partially eaten cake.





"According to the Moderna Museet, the 'cake party' was meant to problematize female circumcision but how that is accomplished through a cake representing a racist caricature of a black woman complete with 'black face' is unclear," Sabuni said in a statement.

According to Sabuni, the mere fact that the minister particiapted in the event, which he argued was also marked by "cannibalistic" overtones, betrays her "incompetence and lack of judgement".

"Her participation, as she laughs, drinks, and eats cake, merely adds to the insult against people who suffer from racist taunts and against women affected by circumcision," he said.

"We have no confidence in her any longer."

Speaking with the TT news agency, Adelsohn Liljeroth addressed the association's reaction, but nevertheless defended her actions.

"I understand quite well that this is provocative and that it was a rather bizarre situation," she said.

"I was invited to speak at World Art Day about art's freedom and the right to provoke. And then they wanted me to cut the cake."

However, Adelsohn Liljeroth said the National Afro-Swedish Association's anger should be directed at the artist, not at her, claiming the situation was "misinterpreted".

"He claims that it challenges a romanticized and exoticized view from the west about something that is really about violence and racism," she said.

"Art needs to be provocative."

But the minster's defence of her actions rang hollow for Sabuni.

"It's extremely insulting for the minister to claim that we've somehow 'misunderstood' racism," he said.

According to Sabuni, the incident is "strange" but "not unexpected" in the Swedish context.

"Sweden thinks of itself as a place where racism is not a problem," he said.

"That just provides cover for not discussing the issue which leads to incidents like this."

While a museum is certainly allowed to do what it wants as long as the laws are followed, Sabuni argued that a minister needs to be held to "higher standards".

"To participate in a racist manifestation masquerading as art is totally over the line and can only be interpreted as the culture minister supporting the Moderna Museet's racist prank," he said.




Ok, since this came out theres been alot of talk about artistic merit &freedom of expression etc many going as far as to say they dont even see the big deal!
I had quite a few very strong words about this issue, over seven paragraghs worth, I erased them.
All I will say in their place is this, IMAGINE for a moment that instead of a Golliwog cake it had been a jewish internment camp cake or perhaps a cake of a little boy in striped pajamas... What would your reaction then be? What would the mainstream reaction to the so called "art" be like THEN?
Im sure we'd be hearing a completely different tune from this ever-growing new species of pseudo-intellectual "Unaffecteditus-Hypocritus" who use increasingly sophisticated artistic media driven agendas to mask growing globally commercialised stealth-racism.
But then as I guess is the norm with most racist hypocrites out there, it will always be a case of having their cake.. & eating it too.
