If that means that an actual POWER and MONEY SHIFT is about to take place, where Wynton Marsalis can tell Pavarotti to kiss his ass or get off the stage, then that will mean something. This bullshit appreciation crap is NOT what I'm concerned about. I want a shift in POWER and MONETARY COMPENSATION. I don't want civil rights, I want HUMAN RIGHTS. I don't want affirmative action, I want REPARATIONS. I don't want integration, I want REPARATIONS. I want MONEY, LAND, and POWER. UNDERSTAND? I don't give a fuck about bullshit liberalism. Black people need revolution and a shift in the power paradigm. GOT IT?

FUCK THAT! Like that bullshit is anything new. We create every motherfucking thing, like Rock and Roll, then everyone else leeches off our creations, but we are not the beneficiaries of the MONEY and the POWER that comes from our cultural production as a whole. Once again, fuck that integrationist liberal bullshit. I could care less about how integrated hip-hop is NOW, what I care about is do Black people as a whole benefit from the shit we invent and produce. Hell no, we don't. Make no mistake, WE created the shit, no matter what the ruling class has told you. The ruling class loves to muddy the waters by pushing that sort of "multi-national" bullshit, so as to cover the tracks of how they exploit and fuck over Black people. Look at how the ruling class is now embracing so-called multi-racial identity. Of course they want to do that, in order to dilute Black consciousness. But of course, that shit ain't new. Black people have always known that what made us Black was not some sort of purity in the biological sense, but our fucking consciousness and culture. However, the ruling class and a lot of stupid fucking idiot Leftists jump on the bandwagon nd hail this as some sort of advance.

Meanwhile, no one asks the simple question of what happened to Black people's mixed heritage back in the day, when we could actually name our specific fathers and mothers who were white, and LAY CLAIM TO THEIR MONEY AND ESTATES. Aha! That's the fucking trick. When it was possible for Black people to get ahold of the MONEY and POWER, we were simply Black. Now that we can no longer trace our roots back to specific white people who raped and abused us, and make a claim for damages, now folks want to talk obvious bullshit about how genetically mixed Black people are. Like we didn't know that fucking bullshit already! That's why we are going to get you motherfuckers and get our REPARATIONS! This shit is not over. We are coming to get you bastards! It is either REPARATIONS now, and REVOLUTION later, or REVOLUTION now, and REPARATIONS later. Take your pick.
