Slavery Is An Unsettled Issue

BlackMan — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 23:34:57 +0000

We've still not dealt with slavery! Black, African-American, and white Americans, we still have not dealt with slavery! When kids are in school and they're learning about motherf**king George Washington, say the motherf**ker owned slaves! Say what Christopher Columbus did! Kids are still learning in-1492-he-sailed-the-ocean-blue bullsh*t. George Washington could never tell the truth; he did chop down that motherfucking cherry tree. Say the first president of the United States owned slaves! Let's stop with the lies. Let's talk about the genocide of the Native Americans! All right, if you don't want to talk about black and white, all right, let's leave that aside. Let's talk about the blankets with smallpox that were given to Native Americans.

BlackMan — Thu, 25 May 2006 17:21:21 +0000

I think what is happening in the world is perpetuated. I try to be subtle in a way, to not be archetypal, and not prejudice. When I think about an Empire, it’s not about nations, human beings, others. It’s the way they normally try to pretend that everyone is a terrorist, anything can be held against you. I think there is now an obsessive idea, obsessive problem with the United States, showing the power. This is a very stressful moment in history.

Jolie Good Promotion!

BlackMan — Mon, 01 May 2006 03:55:15 +0000

If Angelina Jolie gives birth in Namibia, she would have done for our tourism sector what our tourism board budget cannot do in a year. The publicity we are receiving is because of Angelina and Brad and not the paparazzi. The paparazzi will not come to Namibia on their own. They will only do so when following a celebrity. Angelina and Brad Pitt can boost tourism but the paparazzi cannot.

Honesty Begins With You

BlackMan — Sun, 23 Apr 2006 23:00:39 +0000

Any honest examination of the national life proves how far we are from the standard of human freedom with which we began. The recovery of this standard demands of everyone who loves this country a hard look at himself, for the greatest achievments must begin somewhere, and they always begin with the person. If we are not capable of this examination, we may yet become one of the most distinguished and monumental failures in the history of nations.
