say word. h-span 2 showed a panel at the harlem book fair talkin' about the future of blakmerica, and the panelists missed the point.
yep.
and they were all blak males. forget the women. you and i don't exist.
yep, i saw that.
they missed the point! One was verbalizin' about the importance of "respectable art," and respectable art doin' this and respectable art doin' that, readin' off a list like it was some spoken word with the few people in the audience noddin'. Then this other guy changes the subject and talks about how we need more blak enterprises, more businesses to move us forward.
"palante, siempre, palante."
word. but no one linked the two together. even at q and a someone asked what they thought about hip hop and the panelists dodged the question.
yea-yea-yea, all the questions were asked first and then came the answers. but then again, maybe they forgot.
forgot? there's no forgettin'! cuz they didn't care!
