Amiri Baraka



He got into alot of trouble when he wrote this, the Anti-Defamation League tried to defame him. And they tried to force him to resign from this lil thing he was in, in New Jersey...I forget the name of it, i'm sure somebody knows what exactly what i'm talkin about. But truth hurts

one luv

*GeMiNeYeZ* takes it up the butt!
i'm glad i spent the last 13 minutes reading this... i came up with alot of quotable lines:

"Who own what aint even known to be owned
Who own the owners that aint the real owners...

Who made Bush president
Who believe the confederate flag need to be
flying
Who talk about democracy and be lying...

Who the beast in Revelations
Who 666
Who know who decide
Jesus get crucified...

Who change the bible...

Who dont wory about survival...

Who need fossil fuel when the sun aint goin'
nowhere...

Who killed Malcolm, Kennedy & his Brother
Who killed Dr King, Who would want such a thing?
Are they linked to the murder of Lincoln?...

Who doo doo come out the Colon's mouth...

Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get
bombed
Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers
To stay home that day..."


things i've said myself... this was a very powerful poem and i can see why he got in trouble... but "who" thought that it would cause trouble? lol.

That poem reminds me of the Ainsley Burrows poem 910...

This is going to hurt like a power outage during your abortion
hurt like a dinosaur stuffed into a microchip
hurt like the 666 is now the American flag
hurt like the holocaust was only a independent film slavery was a block buster... made billions for motherf#*kas
hurt like America is a giant gas chamber but ²²²²²z don't burn well believe me they've tried
this is going to hurt like the wolf ain't coming in sheep's clothing the wolf is coming as a chain store selling Fubu on UPN, with a bucket of popcorn chicken with a cross and a crack pipe doing an info-mercial on how to spread aids in Africa
this is going to hurt like pulling a bowling ball backwards through your dick hurt like a urinary tract infection in your tear ducts don't cry motherf#*ka
this is going to hurt like a blow job from your sister and your mom's coaching
hurt like the scent of your ancestor blood caked unto the psyche of white America
hurt like the memory locked up in broken bones the steel grin of starvation the blood covered face in the window of colonialism this is going to hurt like a f#*k-you note to the third world
like a 14 year old girl giving birth to her brother
this is going to hurt like a tight pair of Nikes two sizes too small crafted from the skull of a Chinese sweat shop worker
This is going to hurt like the world bank, the IMF the center for disease control
hurt like free bibles to enslaved peoples.
hurt like your third eye in a glass of white milk
like the metal in your Aunk was mined by oppressed Africans
this is going to hurt like there is more racism and Apartheid in your engagement diamond than in all of South Africa
This is going to hurt like Reagan... was playing president like george www dat motherf#*ka is also playing president
hurt like the conection between the Opium trade and the world trade Center
hurt like a CIA base in the basement of a Mickey D's in Brooklyn trying to crack down on drugs trying to stop the spread of aids trying to make sure that the negroes are doing well
this is going to hurt like that is a lie.
This is going to hurt like genocide in our music
hurt being double crossed and framed by Hip Hop
hurt like Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Algeria Panama, Palestine, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Liberia, Lebanon
hurt like being double crossed and framed by the CIA
hurt like Osama Bin Laden lives in New Jersey
hurt like $200 billion to build more war planes
hurt like a vegetarian at thanks giving dinner and somebody forgot the dressing
hurt like the same bullet that kill Medgar, Malcolm, Kennedy and King was fire from the same vocal chord
hurt like 911 f#*k 911
this is going to hurt like 1492 1555 1619 1776 like 1865 this is going to hurt like 3/5 hurt like Japanese concentration camps on American soil
hurt like the Tuskegee experiments
like small pox
like reservations
like the word Indian
hurt like a ²²²²² late for his own lynching
hurt simply because that's how karma works America.
