Wow, this Bro., his music and his big, black, PRESENCE, meant so much to our people. Black Moses. His famous poster, shirtless and in chains, came to symbolize our oppression, and was everywhere all over the kkkountry. His voice and music like the hot, buttered soul he represented.
It makes me sick to see that the most he is being remembered for is that south park mess, but we know our oppressor damn sure ain't gonna paint the picture of the strong Afrikan that motivated so many of us to stand up a little straighter and walk with more authority as a result of being exposed to his image and was the originator of an entire sound.
