Also, any brehs that have young ones.... get em reading Black created and Black inspired literature based on our experiences and history.

I got a lil queen turning 2 and just got news recently I got two kings due at the end of the year... so that's the real essential reading. That's the mistake we made after the civil rights movement...we didn't instill that consciousness in our children.

A lot of Black children's books at this website:

Sticky????

Are you a fan of Octavia Butler?

Read any of the other Patternist books?

I actually got put on to her by a white lit teacher in highschool....been a fan ever since. She actually told me to just start with Mind of my Mind, which I still consider as my favorite.

Both books deal with colonialism and how it affects the mind of the colonized...but they are both extremely relevant today.

Some quotes : http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/37728.Frantz_Fanon

“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are
presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new
evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is
extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it
is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize,
ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”

“The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.”

“The basic confrontation which seemed to be colonialism versus anti-colonialism, indeed capitalism versus socialism, is already losing its importance. What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be.”

“Negrophobes exist. It is not hatred of the Negro, however, that motivates them; they lack the courage for that, or they have lost it. Hate is not inborn; it has to be constantly cultivated, to be brought into being, in conflict with more or less recognized guilt complexes. Hate demands existence and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behavior; in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching. Each to his own side of the street.”

“Introducing someone as a "Negro poet with a University degree" or again, quite simply, the expression, "a great black poet." These ready-made phrases, which seem in a common-sense way to fill a need-or have a hidden subtlety, a permanent rub.”
