Not even. You claimed blacks
here haven't produced a single genre I showed you otherwise, I wasn't bragging
about it considering I do not like Jungle, Grime or Dubstep but just UK Funky.
Cut the crap about the EU I am just talking about the UK which is what I
know.
Nonsense Herc is considered the founding father. Hip Hop has clear
Caribbean influence. It's clearly an inner city mixing of cultures something I
can relate to being from London which is similar to NYC in that regard. Blues,
Jazz, R'n'B yes it's entirely ''African American'' but Hip Hop/Rap sorry it's
not.
There's evidence that older DJs in Brooklyn and Queens
were developing turntable techniques before Kool Herc in the Bronx. Guys like
Grandmaster Flowers, the Disco Twins and the Smith Brothers. In fact there's
recently been a documentary dedicated to the subject entitled "Founding Father:
The Untold Story of Hip-Hop".

Hip-Hop as a music genre
was born when The Sugar Hill Gang release "Rappers Delight". It was conceived by
jazz-poetry, and slaves who rhymed on plantation fields(signifying). And it's
godfathers include the Last Poets, James Brown and Rudy Ray Moore.

Correct Sir but where does it come from ?
isn't it a consequence of the white matrix ? some, whether AAs
or Africans, are so eager to look at themselves along the "whiteness" scale and
criteria - at every level - that it is translated in an unhealthy competition
between the 2 groups when the conditions that put both groups down have been set
up neither by AAs nor by Africans but by whites.

The legacy of slavery, colonialism, etc, The psychological
consequences thereof which Fanon speaks of in Peau Noir, Masques Blanc.
Perhaps the American dimension of what you call the "white
matrix
," and its
effects on our perception of Mother Africa and Africans, can be seen in these
words of James Baldwin:
"At the time that i was growing up,
Negroes in this country were taught to be ashamed of Africa. They were taught it
bluntly, as I was, for example, by being told that Africa had never contributed
"anything" to civilization. Or one was taught the same lesson more obliquely,
and even more effectively, by watching naked, dancing, comic-opera,
cannibalistic savages in the movies. They were nearly always bad, sometimes
funny, sometimes both. If one of them was good, his goodness was proved by his
loyalty to the white man." (NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME, pp.79--80)
Think about decades of that kind of conditioning, that
psychological colonialism, and it is hardly surprising that the
misunderstandings between Africans & African-Americans are as bad as they
often are.
I know from reading African and Caribbean writers
that experiences analogous to our experience happened in other parts of the
Black world as well.
But the more ADVANCED Black people in
America, Africa and elsewhere don't simply yield to this, but try to transcend
it.

The powers-that-be often do more harm than good. Instead of demanding the powers do something, it may be wiser to pool ideas and resources amongst yourselves to tackle the issue on a local level. On the flip side, those who demand (in the case of King Barry, they more than likely politely suggested) action against inner city gun violence are stone cold silent with regards to demanding jobs, healthcare, education, and infrastructure improvements in the inner city. These things would do more to reduce violence (of the gun variety or otherwise) in inner cities and in any other location. As usual, the focus is on the wrong issue.

Did they kill him and burn the body and all evidence?
We would've preferred they kept him alive and put him on trial. Or left the body for autopsy
1. The black face on white global oppression is attacking Africa
2. The New Nat Turner emerges: Christopher Dorner
Coincidence?
Alex Joker Jones promotes the idea that white people are the target. Ofcourse we don't believe this.
Are all Black's, Asians, arabs & Muslim, Latino Americans going to be interned as the white man goes nuts globally?
