Inspired by the principles of Malcolm X / Malik El-Hajj Shabazz. A 'Third Worldist' perspective focusing on the increasing pace of south-south co-operation which is challenging and defeating US hegemony, and the struggles of those oppressed by neo-colonialism and white supremacy (racism) who fight for their social, political and cultural freedom 'by any means necessary'

RESPECT TO SISTER BEYONCE, UPRIGHT SISTER, AND THE GREATEST FEMALE PERFORMER TODAY
sukant, i am pretty bewildered, the lady ain't no Nina Simone
beyonce is surely hot, and a great businesswoman too, but here is a link to another sister with more poignant things to say about gender, she got censored for indecency and no, she was not half-naked shaking her booty, she was rhyming and... in case these are worthy credentials for anyone out there (as per intro to Beyonce's clip) Obama's missus invited Sarah Jones to perform at the white house, and i am pretty sure her parents will also think she is the best

our girls, growing up under the spell of US music and media corporations all want to be like Beyonce, i'd rather my daughter wanted to grow up to be a bit more like sarah jones, nina simone, maria elena walsh, violeta parra...
