May You Live in Interesting Times this New Year 2013: Minister Louis Farrakhan Endorses Django Unchained
I wonder if I am Alice in Wonderland or Neo in the Matrix? Did I walk through the looking glass?
A black man is President who was elected twice; the conspiracy theory that my friends and I outlined during late nights in college where a black man is elected president--what we called "Operation Hamhock" at the time--in order to advance neoliberalism's "colorblind" racist agenda came to pass.
We saw three new Star Wars movies and another trilogy is on the way (hopefully better than the last), there are zombie outbreaks, and herrenvolk old white Tea Party GOP nationalists wearing tricorn hats obstructing the General Will and Common Good.
Star Trek was rebooted and is introducing Khan/Garry Mitchell, the Orwellian police state hides in plain sight, and people self-medicate with social media and cell phones in order to avoid reality and police themselves for the panopticon.
And now there is a black fantasy revenge film called Django Unchained where a black man gets to kill white slavers, and other assorted white trash, is the subject of a national conversation. Plus, Minister Farrakhan weighs in on said movie for the new year.
As the old Chinese curse goes, may you live in interesting times. What will 2013 hold? What are your resolutions and thoughts this New Year's Eve? Any resolutions to share?
Be well friends, and I look forward to our conversations in 2013.

and u helped. don't u just luv when a plan comes together?
@nomad: Nah, won't go there.
Not bothering to get my blood pressure to Mt. Vesuvius levels on the last day of 2012; better to go read Chauncey's post and head over to The Wattree Chronicle.
@Chauncey: You forgot the remake of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
...But in all seriousness, this is....incredible, actually. Never expected this from Minister Farrakhan. Still planning to see DU, since the reviews have been, for the most part, positive, and your review also helped.
"Not bothering to get my blood pressure to Mt. Vesuvius levels on the last day of 2012"
u jus sit back an relax, mac. i got this.
'A black man is President who was elected ... to advance neoliberalism's "colorblind" racist agenda came to pass.'
where was this succinct analysis of Barama when the sheepherder was cajoling his readers into voting for him.
@nomad. we got to get you into rehab fast. it is cloudy outside. is that obama's fault too?

All preznit select, and head house negroe in charge Barack Stephen Obama's fault. The Candie plantation has never had it so good as under the close and watchful supervision of Stephen Obama.
sheeeeiiiitt......,
Stephen got low-information, reactionary sheeple believing that the so-called fiscal cliff is the fault of intransigent tea bagger conservatards, rather than the first in a series of artfully staged implementations of AUSTERITY in America under which the citizenry is bound by the apparatus of state to make damn certain that the elite, above the law banksters get paid by any means necessary!
Next on tap for Stephen Obama is the full-court press to disarm the American peasant, because heaven forbid that when the clampdown comes, that one in ten thousand heavily armed men with an R branded on their cheek is capable of staging significant individual resistance. Heaven forbid that any of the bankster criminals who've been robbing, pillaging, and pimping needs to look over his shoulder lest an angry, vengeful, and highly-skilled peasant comes looking to hold him to account for his unprosecuted crimes against humanity.
@Marc. Good catch. Did you see blood and chrome?
Possibly related: Tomorrow's the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Nichelle Nichols recently celebrated her 80th birthday. She was the first black actress most people in TV Land had ever seen, who wasn't playing a domestic servant or some such.
My thoughts on the coming year? Shit, here we go again, but with just a slight glimmer of optimism, pathetic as that is.
Sanity,
NO, Lt Uhura is NOT 80 years old. Liar liar liar!
@Sanity. 80? damn, I would still let her beam me up all night long.
@jono. time does fly. we are getting old.
@tom. how old does that make us?
2013 is going to be an awesome year for the Black Community in many areas..
2013 is going to be a great year for more Black perspectives on the global marketplace and foreign policy..
2013 is going to be a good year for activists and iconic Black personalities like me and others..
2013 is going to be the year I finally published my primer of living a good life in an urban venue. In my book it will be a compilation of facts, short fictional tales, user friendly advice, the place where urban best practices are deposited by me.
Happy New Year WARN
Greg Thrasher
All you some very, deep, brothers,
I'm happy to have stumbled onto this cyber barbershop at the bottom of the well. Something tells me next gone be even deeper and darker.
Hotep yall, hotep.
p.s. I just learned that word from another deep brother this year
A hopeful person will have a hopeful year.
A hopeless person will have a hopeless year.
A joyful person will have a joyful year.
A hostile person will have a hostile year.
The world is your mirror.
and an informed person will understand exactly how rigged, corrupt, and morally abominable the plantation overseen by Stephen Obama really and truly is, and, how ruthless and brutal an overseer the Hon.Bro.Stephen has plainly shown himself to be.....,
CNu, you ear-itate me, but you right.
2013? That don't exactly roll off the tongue. Two thousand and 13? Sounds ominous. Say, wasn't 2012 sposed to be the end of time? WTF? I held off on doing Xmas shopping cause I thought the world was going to end on Dec. 21. When it didn't I had to get out at the last minute to buy gifts for people who, for some strange reason, were still living.
I think Min. Farrakhan makes some valid points regarding the motivations of the Weinstein Brothers and the others who made this movie.
[The Weinstein Company (TWC) is an American film studio founded by Bob and Harvey Weinstein in 2005 after the brothers left the then-Disney-owned Miramax Films, which they had co-founded in 1979. In February 2006, TWC announced a distribution pact with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. MGM distributed the product domestically in theatres, while TWC will retain long-term ownership of their product. On July 13, 2006, the Weinstein’s and Robert L. Johnson announced the creation of a joint venture studio titled Our Stories Films, which will distribute African-American-oriented films.]
Stephen Obama--LOL.
So Black men can be ruthless in defense of white supremacy.
CNu, in all of your Prepper paranoia, have you stopped to consider at all why in the totally propogandized and controlled MSM that you would have the constant airing of "Doomsday Preppers", and as MK astutely posits, the silent backing of Django Unchained, a black revenge film?
Who are the Preppers fearing? The government...or black folk? What is Min. Farrakhan is saying?
CNU, you are right on your other premises regarding where we are going. However, I get very concerned about your interludes where your anger at unpprepared blacks begin to sound like "Stephen" who, you rightfully hate. That is a dilemna we who have managed to get by some must be very careful of. It is very close to an even unconscious self-hatred. We have sufferred a unique type and most vile form of human suffering as a people.
Louis Farrakhan is one of hundreds of people who perfectly illustrated this truism:
Always out there, the United States, an unacknowledged part of the world picture of every kind of modern revolutionary: the country of law and rest, with which at the end of the day a man who had proclaimed himself to be on the other side–in politics, culture, or religion–could make peace and on whose goodwill he could throw himself. –V.S. Naipaul, Beyond Belief, 1998
CNu, in all of your Prepper paranoia, have you stopped to consider
lol, that I'm one in ten thousand, and, that, lieutenant....,
CNU, you are right on your other premises regarding where we are going.
lol, so at the very moment you realize this fact, realize the extent of your own lack of preparedness, ytf we got anything else to talk about outside the important matters at hand?
Razor, do you realize that your preoccupation with what you imagine my ideological stance might be has trumped all practical consideration of what value I might bring to you wrt stepping up your own game?
Do you realize that the fact of your own infantile preoccupation with slack-jawed nonsense (not to mention autopoetic lack of preparation) makes you conspicuously unworthy of any time, attention or effort?
IOW, Django and Brunehilda already had big-assed "R"'s branded on their cheeks. You on the other hand, along with all the other limp-wristed whiners about "black enough authenticity" whom I ear-itate..., you would rather argue about feminized sensitivity to your psychological handicaps!!!
your anger at unpprepared blacks begin to sound like "Stephen" who, you rightfully hate.
I don't hate Stephen. I understand Stephen. Stephen is a perfectly respectable negroe, matter fact, you could call Stephen respectable negroe version 1.0
We have sufferred a unique type and most vile form of human suffering as a people.
omg...,
your neverending whining about what you pretend to have suffered is a more vile form of make-believe and pretending than anything that has ever actually been done to you.
Fattest, sleekest, wealthiest, best-educated, and potentially most heavily armed and prepared black men on the face of the earth, whining like so many little bee-hotches, makes me sick to my stomach.
Whatever happens to you, you have coming.
p.s., as for Farrakhan, grown-assed black men need to get over that nickle and dime hustler.
dooooooooood,CNu... your misogynistic dialog is creeeeepy. creepy. creepy. everything negative to you is "feminized" and "bitches" and endless attempts to make anyone who questions your weird rants into somehow a woman. cause, well, of COURSE everything wrong with society is "feminization" and "teh wimminz". so, i am guessing that in your weird world, the entirety of everything that has gone wrong is teh bitches gettin uppity. nevermind that patriarchal white MALE religion has done more to destruct humanity than anything else. it is just the men being pussies? bitches? SENSITIVE? do you have some insane angry issues with women in your life, or what? wow. just, wow. are you intellectualy capable of constructing an insult that does not involve comparing all opponents to women? anyone who dares to disagree is apparently a chick, or a surrogate of. can you address the issue at hand without insulting half of the human race? or is my half of the human race the evile what has made everything fuxed up? i AGREE with what you are trying to say maybe 30% of the time(maybe 10%...). then you say a bunch of stupid patriarchal woman-hating crap. and i stop listening. there is something very wrong with your brain.
your misogynistic dialog is creeeeepy. creepy. creepy.
lol, your insistence on inserting yourself in something not intended for you is creepy, obvious, and predictable "jenicillin".
so, i am guessing
Bingo, and incorrectly.
So let me run it down for you in plain language that everyone can understand.
Why is it that the pundit classes are comprised of white and honorary white "journalists", writers, and others with no discernible specialty knowledge outside of constructing an approved narrative, while the negroe members and wannabe members of the pundit classes are comprised nearly exclusively of race and social studies negroes (afrodemics) who have been vetted in white female dominated liberal arts political, professional and interpersonal environments?
Why is there a seemingly unitary voice lacking any discernible bass in which this class of pop culture commentors is bound. It is as if the voice of black men cannot be heard in the mainstream without first passing muster among white women.
Now, it would be one thing if the knowledge, methods, best practices emanating out of that sphere had had a discernibly positive impact on the lives of poor folk in general and poor black folks in particular. But the past forty years shows that that is decidedly not the case. In fact, the fruits of the feminized counter-culture on the lives of black folks has given rise to a monstrous collapse of basic standards of shame, basic standards of industriousness, excellence, and merit.
Appreciation of "diversity" has supplanted appreciation of merit and the culture of self-esteem preservation has supplanted the culture of basic competence.
One need look no further than the female-dominated public school systems in which there is no more corporal punishment, no more good order, productive engagement and useful or societally beneficial outcome.
then you say a bunch of stupid patriarchal woman-hating crap. and i stop listening.
Again, like early Malcolm "jenicillin" - I could not possibly care less about your listening because there's nothing useful or constructive you can bring to the discussion/equation.
Your voice and your "perspective" has devastated folk who've listened to, heeded, and been in some manner, form, or fashion influenced by its cultural call.
Consequently, the only thing you've brought thus far, and the only thing you're capable of bringing, is the slimy ostracism of the type that has proven itself so successful in eliminating masculine black voices from higher education, public education, and the public media sphere.
@ jenicillin
This is the Short comming of WARN the comments come from one group. Misogynistic 40+ men speaking on their ideals. "I'd hit it" Also a need to sex white woman is a bit overstated.
Pinku Sensei called it out correctly two weeks ago on a related discussion thread.
The "white male problem" is being coded as a "conservative problem." People on the Left want to settle scores and have found this incident to be a convenient "trigger" to bring up an issue that pisses off the Right. That the Left's adversaries are mostly White Males is being hidden inside an ideological struggle.
Black folks are not by-and-large leftist in our political world view, and to the extent that our voices have been subordinated to leftist and particularly white feminist tropes over the past forty years, a significant number of black folks have been educationally, socially, culturally, and politically devastated.
Wow. I gon hav to com back n read this later. In the meantime, look what Stephen's been up to while u wuz partying:
https://seeker401.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/whilst-you-were-partying-obama-authorizes-five-more-years-of-warrantless-wiretapping/
"not by-and-large leftist in our political world view"
You don't speak for Black People and if you think you do, are you hearing it as a voice in your mind?
Lastly are you just ignoring these voices? You talk a good game but you sit on the sidelines. It's easy to backseat drive black culture. Black women have been at the wheel for the last 20 years. While you field your next generation for a world where they won't have the same options as yourself.
As I have said before give some options (not that internet in the hood crap again) but your gardening ideas are still years away. Kids need food and clothing now. Kids need healthcare now. Kids need a safe place to go daily. Those are what I try to do now. If you think these same kids rob, kill, deal, and steal because of just bad parents then YOU DON'T KNOW BLACK PEOPLE AND YOU WILL NEVER SPEAK FOR US.
You don't speak for Black People and if you think you do, are you hearing it as a voice in your mind?
lol, and you do?
Last I recall BA, it was you pleading with me for help and a hand up for somebody else's out of wedlock profoundly neglected spawn - not the other way around.
As I have said before give some options (not that internet in the hood crap again) but your gardening ideas are still years away.
You should ask these nice liberal arts, academic white women so core to the counterculture that put your "constituents" in the pickle in which they find themselves to give you "options" (btw - have these constituents elected you to represent them here or anywhere else for that matter?)
Kids need food and clothing now. Kids need healthcare now. Kids need a safe place to go daily. Those are what I try to do now
You don't do a damn thing beyond angrily gum-whooping at me because I don't believe in bending over backwards for somebody else's spawn.
Do you have any idea how preposterous it is for you to want more for someone else than they want for themselves? Do you have any idea how large and doomed a lie that is, particularly in light of the fact that you haven't even begun to arrive at any of your own aspirational aims.
BA, it's patently obvious you don't do anything of any consequence for anyone and that all this faking and fronting you do here is the sum total of your good works.
If you think these same kids rob, kill, deal, and steal because of just bad parents then YOU DON'T KNOW BLACK PEOPLE AND YOU WILL NEVER SPEAK FOR US.
The only thing more pathetic than hate whidety propaganda from ugly white women, is blacker-than-thou propaganda from their self-righteous and practically incompetent proteges...,
Praise is due Historiann for calling out the petty personal ahistoricity and libel of the leading talker of "nerdland". The facetious usurpation of the terminology to describe a facile talker with absolutely zero genuine nerd bona fides is deeply offensive.
Nerds create/invent/maintain/evolve complex systems. A big part of the current social and political problem by which the development of large systemic solutions are presently encumbered, is the continuous interference of folk whose identity politics intrude in every conceivable unproductive way on the objective work of getting things solved and done.
@Cnu
you mad bro?
Here let me help you out...Crazy Rant about black kids being less.....How you have the answer.....Crazy Rant on how it's B.O fault...Then follow up with how I'm less of a man than you and some lame speak of aged chauvinist sword code. Damn for got the Jiggaboo thing you love to do. Did that futher any discussion..... nope just more posturing.
See you don't have to be smart to help at the local shelter. It isn't bending over backwards to donate clothes/blankets/hand warmers in the winter. These are easy, the hard is holding even you to the same high standard I hold every black man who has navigated through the B.S. You've been through it but refuse to tell those coming behind you where the potholes are. Jesse Jackson wrote a story in Chi-town talking about using the Marshall Plan to rebuild Americas urban areas. That's what I want to talk about.
Now, go play golf or tennis or something. I gotta finish my lunch period and get back to work filling potholes...(see what I did there?) You don't know funny (Mel Brooks voice)
you mad bro?
rotflmbao...,
still working that 13 year old boy steeze I see?
YOU DON'T KNOW BLACK PEOPLE AND YOU WILL NEVER SPEAK FOR US.
...but I'm the one posturing?
Jesse Jackson wrote a story in Chi-town talking about using the Marshall Plan to rebuild Americas urban areas. That's what I want to talk about.
lol, well go talk to Jesse Jackson BA and leave me the hell out of it!
Jesse's had forty years to FUBAR everything aside from lining his own pockets. He's betrayed his wife, his purported Christian ideals, and his son is a hot-mess on his way to jail.
So.., given the indisputable ghetto fabulousness of the role he's modeled for you, you and Jesse get back to the hard work of talking about extorting and spending someone else's hard-earned money on a program for "filling holes".
p.s., B-Stephen-O don't give a damn about it one way or another and it's perfectly clear that the Hon.Bro.Preznit select wasn't put into office for what he would do for you and your supposed beggarly constituents, was he?
Yet, you durst not go online shouting nonsense at B-Stephen-O such as this YOU DON'T KNOW BLACK PEOPLE AND YOU WILL NEVER SPEAK FOR US.
"Wow. I gon hav to com back n read this later."
On the otherhand. It jes degenerated into CNoise. Verbiose CNoise. I wish I could say that there was method to this madness. But so far, its just madness. later gater.
Later for Django. Check out Robert Charles.
"His lifetime in Mississippi and Louisiana had taught him that a black man who shoots a law officer would probably be better off dead than in custody, and that the one who actually kills a policeman - much less two - was liable to die in some terrible fashion at the hands of a mob"
By the end of the day, Charles had shot a total of 27 white people in the course of the week, seven lethally; four of the victims were policemen. --Wiki

@mb. now that is a bad man! I need to do some more research on his adventures.
