Very Zapatista.<BR/><BR/>I like how you say we morph into human beings (as opposed to human doings?). That's a real process there...sometimes, I think I'm doing pretty well at it and other times, the arrogance of my own thoughts embarrass me (or even disgust me?), with or without anybody else knowing.<BR/><BR/><I>"Until I AM that which I want to see - unified, connected, undivided, undefended - then I can't help make the revolution that is necessary."</I><BR/><BR/>I'll drink to that!<BR/><BR/>Lorraine: Welcome! I'm glad you like the post. And Hampton is worth checking out.

Because you are right, it has to come out naturally, the revolution that has staying power must spring forth from people who have changed fundamentally. Into human beings.<BR/><BR/>My embrace of my blackness has been a process to full humanity. When I think of black liberation, it is inextricably linked to the liberation of the Congo, of the Cuban, the Harlemite, the white Southerner. If we can't grow to see that oppression is oppression and that race and other Isms are mainly, but not entirely, tactics, that revolution is doomed at the start.<BR/><BR/>Until I AM that which I want to see - unified, connected, undivided, undefended - then I can't help make the revolution that is necessary. It would only be changing from Hitler to Stalin to Roosevelt to Truman to Bush to Obama. That is not revolution. It has to be us.<BR/><BR/>Bottoms up.Maxjulianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835804179275070485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645996.post-20917487270981058632008-12-04T11:17:00.000-06:002008-12-04T11:17:00.000-06:00Yes, Maxjulian, it's hard.
