Revolutionary Asante sana

to the many Warriors who took part in this year Black August Resistance Finale, namely Drummer Obari whom I joined during the libation ritual playing homage to our Ancestors, The spoken Word Artists: Queen, Dusk Daughters, Zayd, the many hiphop artists, Sister Njeri of Ncobra, The Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, Prisoners Of Conscience Committee (POCC) and last but not least The (Talking) Drum Collective proving once again we dont only talk the talk, but we walk the walk, for we are at war, organizing door to door instead of just staring into a PC screen & chit chatting...

Free 'em All

Sounds TIGHT!!! I met that brutha that's mentioned on yall flyer ("The Riot Starter") at the Oakland Black August. He's good peoples. Also got a chance to meet Fred Hampton Jr. and Pam Africa (my new hero *smile*). I had a real eventful Black August this year and I hope yall did too. And too bad for the people who hold the misconception that all yall do is sit behind a computer monitor. Capitalism will confuse you *smile*.

[Im The Truth]

I think some people forget that this is just a tool for organizing and educating. When we talk about these important ideas like Organization, Education, Untiy we ain't play with dem. It would be dishonorable to speak of Unity and also talk about we can't get together it's a simple task, especially when people like me, xxpanthaxx, and many other organizers are reaching out to people. We just don't talk about Unity we show it, we have been and will continue to organize with anyone who is serious about it. September 1 there will be a Calendar of Events out in Atlanta for the purpose of Unifying Our People. We just don't talk about Educating Our People, we educate them, if you don't believe me, check out www.TheTalkingDrum.com, check out www.PanAfrican.TV, check out www.AssataShakur.org, check out The Talking Drum Collective Newsletter, check out some of the events we've hosted, check out the number of the People coming these sites and events. When we talk about Organization we just aren't talking to be talking, we act because it is necessary! I'm part some organizations, xxpanthaxx is part of organizations, we promote organization, we work with organization, we understand Organization is necessary. We know what it means when Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) says ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, we understand theory with no practice is intellectual mastrubation, we don't have time for it Our People are suffering, The Time Is Now, Let's Get Free!!

I don't speak these words in the purpose of tooting my own horns I speak these words in hopes to offend armchair revolutionarys and to motivate those who say they want change. If you in the A-T-L holla at me.
