 Revolutions to Come

[col. writ. 2/26/11]  (c) '11 Mumia Abu-Jamal

As fires of rebellion and resistance flash through ancient Arab cities, the nations' pundits (especially those of the rightish variety) warn us of impending doom, in the form of rising gas prices, and the bugaboo of near-hysterical proportions -- Islamists.

  But there's a funny thing about rebellions and revolutions.  They may begin one way, but no one - No One - knows where they will end.  That's the nature of revolutions!

   The voices of America's pundit class have apparently forgotten that the Founders that they like to revere and praise as Prophets of Freedom, were -- well, revolutionaries, who stood against the most powerful empire of the age -- the British (with a little help and money from the French)

   The very notion of having a nation without a king was, well -- a revolutionary idea.  That's why, when France had its revolution a few years later, the crowned heads  of Europe got together (conspired, really) to beat them into the ground.  For, back in those days, the conventional wisdom was that kings and queens ruled by the will of God; hence, the divine right of kings.

   The American, French, and Haitian Revolutions put a real dent into such notions.

   Abe Lincoln, speaking as a Congressman in 1848, told his fellow members: "It is a quality of revolutions not to go by old lines and old laws; but to break up both, and make new ones."

   The forces roiling today in several North African and Persian Gulf countries have been held in check for generations by powerful, repressive and ruthless governments, many of whom have been staunch U.S. allies.  The forces which have been unleashed in recent weeks threatens to upend many, if not most of the old relationships and understandings that formed the basis of 

U.S. Mid-East policy.

   Remarkably, none of the 'experts' on the region, few of the scholars, and virtually none of the talking heads on TV and cable had a clue, until the dam broke and the boiling rage burst forth.

   We have no idea when our where these forces will dissipate.  They may radiate for years. They may, indeed, spill out into other areas of the world.

   That too, is the nature of revolution.

When Didn't You Know It, Poet?By Raymond Nathaniel Turner

Wordmaster, AB, Gregory Hines once

Went on stage and kissed Sammy Davis’

Taps. If ever I get there, I’ll perform the

Poetic equivalent, because in my pantheon

Of Mingus, Miles, Max, Bird, Trane,

Wayne, Nina, Sass, Abbey, Jimmy

Baldwin, Richard Wright — You, AB,

Are the father, son and holy-ghost

Of us post-Langston, Sterling poets,

The syn-tactical surgeon who sutured

Our severed tongues, with precision

Pen and atomic tenor, real smart

Bombs we dropped in our war on

Black bourgeois, corporate-controlled,

Government-guided, attack-Negroes like

Uncle Roy, The Men of Steele, Shelby and

Michael, Long Dong Silver, AKA, Thom-Ass,

Clarence, Clarence Pendelton, Ward Connerly,

Colin Powell and them imperialist Rice wenches…

But, Poet, how’d you slip on Iceberg Slim?

How’d you start snarling, growling, guarding

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue like a junkyard dog,

Muzzling the “movement” and protecting the

Bagman transferring trillions to Wall Street,

War Profiteer, Pharma, Agribiz, Oil-igarch,

Insurance mobs, uh, Reagan redux on ‘roids?

Was it his cool “middle”-class mantra?

Or, ‘cause Slim didn’t come Superfly—

Gold-plated cane, fur coat, big hat, talkin’

Slick, like Tony and Goldie, ‘bout making his

Handlers so much money that their pockets

Would look like they have the mumps?

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

From the git, it smelled like a pack of

Senators wind-surfing on raw sewage,

With Candidate Slim huddling for bailout

Hanky-panky with Hank Paulson,

McCain and Osama Ben Bernanke…

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

No wait for a gate, when Slim kept

Warlord, Bomb Gates, on from W’s crew—

But, then there was Skippy-Gate,

Harvard Professor arrested in his

Home, then invited by Slim to the

Big House for beer with the arresting

Officer. We waited with bated breath,

Figurin’ as slick as Slim is, he jus’ might

Invite families of Sean Bell and Oscar

Grant for a Big House keg and concert:

Newt Gingrich Sings Gershwin, A cappella.

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Iceberg made his bones first day on the job,

Whackin’ a couple Somalis—called them pirates.

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Iceberg’s brass-balled triangulation, juggling

Three wars, picking up a peace prize, torpedoing

Copenhagen with “clean coal” and nukes: priceless.

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Neon signs in Guantanamo’s windows flashing OPEN,

As Slim’s “surges,” and more drone strikes than eight

W years seem to scream, “Hey, Poet, judge me not by

The color of my skin, but by content of my character!”

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Amerikkka’s a crime scene—

Yellow tape stretching Maine to Florida,

San Diego to Seattle, Great Lakes to Gulf,

Would a Warlock’s incantations one January

Morning, abracadabra, magically CHANGE it?

Poet, when didn’t you know it?

Reckon two decades of glorious struggle,

Mastering marches, mass meetings, sit-ins

Teach-ins, boycotts, picket lines, voter

Registration and armed self-defense, taught us

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress?”

Poet, you know it: criticism and self-criticism

From back in the day, when some of us toted

The Origin Of The Family, Private Property And The State

Like valuable vinyl, Sketches Of Spain, Kind Of Blue and

John Coltrane And Johnny Hartman, while waiting as you

Went through that kooky, Kawaida-Karengatang-thang,

Attacking Panthers and the revolutionary trend…

But, you came back!

Making Maoist mumbo-jumbo of the united front,

Confusing the revolutionary struggle for democracy,

But, you came back!

Yeah, Poet, I hoped, prayed and wished for a wet, cold

Wikileak, waking you from the Warlock’s spell, wrenching

You, snatching you from Iceberg Slim’s grip…

In his Prison Poems, Ho Chi Minh said, the

Poet must also know how to lead an attack—

Hurry, Poet, hurry, I’ve been waiting… for you!

_________________

I am weary with music that degrades, exploits, and poisons minds. 
I am sick of misogyny in syncopation. There is so much more to sing 
about.

We are at war in Amerikkka. We who are poor or Black or female or 
gay or uneducated or underemployed or underpaid... Music is 
supposed to heal our war weary souls. Increasingly, music is most 
often simply soundtracks of oppression, rather than solace for the 
oppressed.

This pains me greatly. The only thing that pains me more is the fact 
that the faces of the mindless singers of these moronic songs look like 
my own. That manic mirror reflection bothers me more intensely than I 
can describe...

Does it bother anyone else that a gifted humanitarian like Bruce 
Springsteen is being deservedly praised for his tribute to a brother 
martyr like Amadou Diallo, while a ludicrous aging gangsta rapper like 
Dr. Dre is STILL pumping out genocidal garbage; with a new 
trainee-wigga-of-the-month named Eminem (as in M & M; Misogyny 
and Machismo) in tow???!!!

It is truly ironic that a rich white male has chosen to pen a protest song. 
Clearly, it is poor Black men like Diallo who bear the brunt of 
epidemic police brutality and municipally sanctioned mass murders. 
So, what are most of Springsteen's young Black male industry peers 
singing about as he mourns Diallo? Money, booty, jewelry, pimping, 
bimbos, cars, and other hedonistic madness!!!

What motivates a racist industry that showers any fool who can rhyme 
with millions of dollars? Why are there no industry scouts grooming 
the next Sarah Vaughn, Duke Ellington, Marvin Gaye, or Dinah 
Washington? How many more cloned gangsta rappers do we need to 
hear????

I am a musicologist and a DJ. Music is like oxygen to me. I could 
never live without it. I am depressed by how much popular music bores and repulses me. 
To say that most radio is meaningless would be 
inaccurate. Meaning is always subjective. Certainly, most popular 
music is meaningless to me.

There are those who argue that music is supposed to be escapist. To 
them I say: Music should never be exclusively escapist! To sing 
exclusively about fantasy is to deny and lose touch with reality. The 
revolution will not be televised. It will also not roll up on us in a Benz, 
sport a thong, flash ice, or stroll in pimping...

This pervasive and peculiar obsession with pimping has moved beyond 
music and movies to children's animation! A whole new generation of 
youthful minds is soon to be poisoned by "Lil Pimp". This animated 
Internet series from Mediatrip.com is now set to become an animated 
feature film. Misogynist mentacide is now being marketed to the 
Pokemon demographic!!!

I revere those artists who sing about things that are more real and relevant 
than pimping. I thank all of them who dare to pay tribute to Diallo and 
use their musical gifts to soothe and expose all of the wrongs and pains 
that we endure...We need such odes to physical, mental, and spiritual 
executions that occur en masse globally and daily.

No sane person can deny that Diallo was publicly executed. Like so 
many others, he was simply Black, male, and disposable in eyes, 
and at the ends of gun barrels, that belong to rabid agents of martial 
law, also known as police officers.

Fortunately, there are always exceptions to every rule. Many African- 
American artists and others have composed political songs. I deeply 
regret that so very few of them are young or currently in rotation on radio or 
video shows.

 The following partial list is a tribute to those who use music to inspire 
rather than sabotage Revolution. (I welcome your additions to this list

Labi Siffre : Traitors To The Black Nation

the denigration of the female

referred to in these verses

is a black community rap disease

that involves, like chat room

pedophile wiles, the grooming

by video tuning of a generation

of black girls eager to be women;

a rhyming scheme to persuade 'em

that all they're for, to get to be

the main squeeze, is to give it up easy

beaver and bubble butt to some posturing

fake who, though black, ain't no better flava

than an old time white slaver

it's a matter of role models and if all girls get

is "good girls give it up" then gangsta sex

rap is just another self-hate way to help

the black community self-destruct

When I ruled the airwaves in Atlanta, the Hebrew Israelites were my fans and soldiers! The " christian pastors" were my evil detractors and enemies. They did all they could. in vain, to silence me and slander my show. The Hebrew Israelites helped me as we slew them!!!!
 
 
Thanks!!!!!!!!
 
 
Many of these real men and rebel bros were even man enough to say verbatim on the air: "We have our issues with the sister being a lesbian, but we adore her as a warrior. Black people need millions more like her. We love this sister soldier and we will die before we let lost ignorant fried chicken eating preachers silence her. They will not cancel her show!..."
 
Many strangers would be shocked to know that I adore many heterosexual males, who are both black and white. Most of my closest female friends are heterosexual. I am too afrocentric and too out for most eurocentric and closeted Black lesbians. I also cherish many lesbian friends in interracial unions. But, the vast majority of the women I love are platonic heterosexual friends.

Despite the lewd lies of gaybashers, my lovers are rarely ever shared with the public. My private life is my own. I am often seen with women of many races, and most of them love women or men who look like them. They do not regard me as a black sex object. They love me as a human friend. These international people who really know me know that I am not a racist. They know that I am only a proud African who loves my own black skin and fellow African people. And, they know that I love and embrace all righteous warriors irrespective of race.

This column is written as an afrocentric reality check! As always, scholar and womanist Bell Hooks was correct when she penned the following: 

 “Collectively, black people and our allies in struggle are empowered when we practice self-love as a revolutionary intervention that undermines the practices of domination. Loving blackness as political resistance transforms our ways of looking and being, and thus creates the conditions necessary for us to move against the forces of domination and death and reclaim black life....[Africans must] break through the walls of denial whichhide the depth of black self-hatred, inner anguish, and unreconciled pain” [Killing Rage. “Loving Blackness as Political Resistance”.]
