"Can you kill the nigger
in you
Can you kill your nigger mind
And free your Black hands to
strangle."
- Sonia Sanchez, Black Feeling, Black Talk (1967)

I was catching up on readings for my history class, and this caught my attention. It reminds me of a poem I once had to analyze for English class in the 10th grade; same feeling to it. Just wanted to make sure I would remember it when I look back.

"There appears to be a vast amount of confusion on this point, but I do not know many Negroes who are eager to be 'accepted' by white people, still less to be loved by them; they, the blacks, simply don't wish to be beaten over the head by the whites every instant of our brief passage on this planet."
- James Baldwin

Hott. Just hott. Decent common sense, and I realize why he was a very loved writer of this era. I should read some of his stuff.

Listen to John Coltrane - saxophone player, jazz.
