Black 60, Motown Philly, and Highlander

Not sure I like where your random musings are taking you JB.

You seem to be making a link between being 'black' and 'black' culture and 'the Prince of Darkness' or the devil.

There is a stripe of belief in the Mormon faith, which may or may not be the same in other denominations, wherein black people are black because they are descended from a tribe who turned their back on God and were punished by being changed from white to black. A badge of shame which they then passed forever to their descendants.

I really, really hope that's not where your head's at, mate.

I hesitate to draw that conclusion only because not a single one of the subjects referenced is one that anyone else recognizes. Yeah, this reads as really racist - but maybe they're all bands (of mixed race?) in the black-metal genre? or something equally obscure? because nothing in the opening post makes sense, nothing in it can be decoded without any context or reference.

[DanaC]

Well, I think it's just a stream of consciousness writing experiment. So, I wouldn't expect it to make much sense. But there is a kind of internal coherence to it which seems, to me, to be drawing on some quite unpleasant things.


[eta] Though, as you say, not knowing what he's drawing from makes it difficult to figure out. It could be that there's nothing racist about it at all.

[Ibby]

Which is my point. Yeah, there's some pretty iffy language in there - very dog-whistle-y, at the very least - but when it is as detached from any basis in reality, its hard to effectively argue that his "dark continent", "prince of darkness" language does anything worse than SOUNDING racist... because nobody has a CLUE what he MEANS.

There is a very fine, often invisible, line that divides art from crazy.

Ibs - the same crap is posted on numerous sites. Let it go.
Don't feed "it"

I don't think he's exactly a troll - just a person in need of resperidol or whatever that drug is that they give to schizo's.

Yeah, JBK is not entirely well, but I don't think he is a troll. His writings seem genuine to me.

[classicman]

I know, I know... but still it doesn't seem worth it for Ibs to get bent outta shape over either.

Wolf always goes straight to the Geodon.

Why not try a little Zyprexa? Hm? A little risperdal?


straight for the big guns, that girl.

The way this all started was in a dream I had where there was this really sweet "techno music" going off and the cross fadder was right in the middle of my forehead.. I decided to put the cross fadder right in the middle ((after all)) what do I know about music except some drums I played during middle school. Any way I put the fadder in the middle of my forehead and I heard this sound of a >>flatline<< of myself dying, the a very high pitched sound came in and said "he was raised by the mob" which is not at all true!! Then this other guy came in and started pointing at me saying YOUR GOING TO HELL.. and I saw "this" fall from the sky "FokU" which means followers of the kings of the universe, so I wrote this poem called rave aginst the machine "syntext error the children must mature".. and then I just went nuts writeing poetry on the interent and I started going down to ybor city and started dancing.. In a way I was testing the spirits and trying to escape the demons because there were other musicians that were say shit like sleep in the fire, shut the fok up and basically I was just grasping for life and "fronting like I knew what I was talking about after all Mike D was casting me off into exile with that another demension song so I was at one point fighting for my life via internet poetry.. I think the biggest mistake I ever made was saying this "we act as a sounding board for us military opperations in the alpha atarie quadrant but we are very much a midEvil<<which was the REAL syntext error<< seperatests group. I dunno what it all came down to is a drastic attempt have fun before I died but the spirits in my dreams started talking back and responding to the things I wrote on the net so I'm at this point awake and the dreams just keep comming.. after being bakeracted about 8 times and haveing all these meds shoved down my throte I'm finally at a point where I have some sort of control. So I just condensed everything I knew in to one abstract channel and now I feel safe.

qcc??

Resist the Devil and he will flee.. I think if people were more apt to get into with God ie. test the spirits and fight the good fight ((together)) then then we wouldn't be afraid/// I'm not afraid to talk about things I'm not quite sure of after all I'm an American I haven't really been afraid of anything ((except God)) since I was 9. Like I said it's a black thing and I'm not black.. Besides that, isn't highlander an Irish thing anyway..
