Dr. Layla Abdel-Rahim, anthropologist & woman of color, brings her unique anti-civilization perspective and analysis to the Trayvon Martin and Anna Brown tragedies. She gets to what’s at the root of the persistent racism, prejudice, and white supremacy that unfortunately still reign over our society.
Here’s the video of Anna Brown being dragged from a hospital and dying in prison. http://youthrevolutionarycouncil.org/?p=1073
“La divinización del mercado, que compra cada vez menos y paga cada vez peor, permite atiborrar de mágicas chucherías a las grandes ciudades del sur del mundo, drogadas por la religión del consumo, mientras los campos se agotan, se pudren las aguas que los alimentan y una costra seca cubre los desiertos que antes fueron bosques.” Eduardo Galeano

Emory Douglas worked as the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 until the Party disbanded in the 1980s. His graphic art was featured in most issues of the newspaper The Black Panther (which had a peak circulation of 139,000 per week in 1970)[1] and has become an iconic representation of the struggles of the Party during the 1960s and 70s.
“There was a lot of inspiration going on during that time. You would see a lot of the stuff that came out Cuba, the Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America (OSPAAAL). They used to print high powered political posters. They would also pick up some artwork I did and redesign it, reuse it. A lot of artwork came out of what was going on in Vietnam.We were inspired by international groups and they were inspired by us.”

Sig Ragga - Resistencia Indigena.
500 años de que el afamado conquistador piso estas tierras.
Hace 500 años el nació
Pero nadie escribió su historia
Vinieron los dueños del cielo a matar…
A su gente con crucifijos.
Cañones y sangre su historia…
Hace 500 años el plantó una planta
en la orilla libre
la masacre no vio
tuvieron que imitarlos o morir
occidente es el universo
Cañones y sangre su historia (x2)
Yo vi como vió…
el viento a nuestra tierra
Yo vi la hermosura del viento en tu boca
Yo vi como vió…
Su historia no está en museos
Ni estará
Que la cuenten los que resisten
Las ciudades no ven…
Yo no represento a nadie
Y mi canción es contar mi versión
Mi historia…
Yo vi como vió…
Y vi como vió…
Yo vi como vió…
el viento a nuestra tierra
Yo vi la hermosura del viento en tu boca
Vi como vió el viento en nuestra tierra…
Yo ví la hermosura del viento en tu boca…
Yo ví como vió…
