Lil Wayne, Dialectical Thinking, Black Girls, BET BOYCOTTS. Help.

[M.dot]

I am thinking.

I see community in the women here and I am trying to figure out the next step to take.

Four Things have my mine spinning.
I. Lil Wayne and Drakes performance @ The BET Awards
II. DRAKES new video
III. The inappropriate little girls on stage during the performance.
IV. How to channel Black anger into Black action and my role as a writer.

1. I can't boycott BET because being reactionary makes my ass itch. BUT,
I want to do something. Just because there are angry people doesn't mean
that there are enough people that care.

2. My vision is got Black people treat gender the way that they treat race

3. What I really want is for the advertisers to feel our pain. However, what I know about Capitalism has shown me that any effort to "monitor" the music will only be co opted and made irrelevant.

4. I know that the real change begins when people see that THEY are the leaders
they need, not me. Friere on mine.

5. In the mean time, I am reading Grace Bogg's, "Nothing is More Important than Thinking Dialetically."

Any words, suggestions, ideas, or thoughts any of you may have
will be appreciated.

Hi Moya,

I just read something that kinda blew my bird back
and its forcing me to thinking about whether
the shit I care about AND want to write about
it worth the energy that I want to put into it.

I just read James Bogg's American Revolution,
and the main thesis is that because of the automoation
of production and the war economy we are in the midst
of moving towards a jobless society and because of this
we will have to change the ways in which society is organized.

http://www.amazon.com/American-Revolution-Pages-Workers-Notebook/dp...

He talks about:
-the History of American Unions
-The role of Black folks and implicitly Black women as the
revolutionaries in American culture, historically and now (the 60's)
-The need for organic intellectuals who are working class

I am trying to reconcile this shit w/ my scholarly
and activist interests. Feel me.

When I first read it I was like YEAAAH.
Then after a couple of days, I didn't know
what to do with it.

I had this idea for a post about the end of California,
one about Lil Kim and why she makes Black women uncomfortable,
and I ain't been able to write the shit.

So yeah. I just wanted to share. I did'nt want to be on the call
dismissive and what not, which I am KNOWN to do <<

Warmly,

Renina
