"True author like the great doctor Malachi York was" - Juelz

[mizanation]

"satellite talk like dr. malachi york" - scaramanga

[onemancult]

the last poets blow gil scott away in every other respect, though.

i'm biased because i know a few of them.

carry on with this soul-sustaining thread, my brothas.

[mizanation]

i actually dated one of dr. york's nieces for a while. that was a crazy experience.

I think if you look at most "radical" leaders...no matter what color, they had to have a certain sense of style and charisma to attract followers...though most just wore military style clothing, i.e. Che Guevera, Mao, Hitler, Napoleon...they all still had their own style or swagger.......

it takes a shitload of confidence to inspire and motivate a group of oppressed people to band together and fight their oppressors. a side-effect is a natural manifestation of this charisma into style. holler if ya hear me, brothas.

I forgot his name, but that nigga is gangster, The abolishionist that took some freed slaves and kill them crackers in (virginia?)

He new he was going out so he went up in there montana style. I was in forth grade and wrote a paper on him

Dude was heavy religious too. And had bad credit like a black person (bankruptcy twice).

[Sayword]

I respect your knowledge of black people Miz. What made you interested?

[mizanation]

john brown. hated and loved. either way, he was the catalyst for the civil war.

created a community of free african-american citizens. him, his sons and many members of his community tried to take over harper's ferry armory to start an armed slave insurrection. they were surrounded by local and national forces and taken prisoner--with many of his men killed. he and his men were later tried and hung. the aftermath was the civil war.

[Sayword]

I was sort of close on the events, it was a while since I wrote it

[mizanation]

sayword, i have an interest in history in general. i don't think i know a lot about black people, i just think that in general, black american history is generally neglected, misrepresented or minimalized in this country.
