Wattstax

[DutchKalhoun]

This is back when you could go to a show and didn't have bunch of young pussy-ass kids pulling out guns and fuckin it all up! Folks had respect for one another back then.

I wounder what Malcom X would have thought of that. So much black people getting together to sing and dance. How was that supposed to change things for us?

[figthersdreams]

@RJTheMack At least you guys had a spirit of collectiveness back then. Now it's to each his own. Everybody tres to make his money then keep it to himself, and you got black on black violence too. The world's a F.cked up place. Obama didn't change anything for black people in America, other then giving kids hope of one day becoming president...

@figthersdreams hmm, only if they'll related to w. lol

@2002HereICome....I agree with you on a social level, but I was merely basing it on he musical, entertaining and artistic fashion this music was displayed. Yeah, folks nowadays don't know how to act. Plus, with the way music is nowadays, we wouldn't get the SOUL music, we'd get shit like Lil Wayne, T.I, and other weirdos.

Man, I attended this event when I was a kid. We begged our Mom to take us and it was an awesome experience. They need to do a Wattstax 2010 or 2011. Look at all those beautiful black people. There was no gang-bangin back then and no riots. Probably because we told ourselves "I am somebody"!!!

@afrosensuous: I have to disagree with you when you say they need to do a Wattstax 2010 or 2011 because people don't know how to act nowadays. We're living in much different times and it's not about partying and enjoying life nowadays like it was back then.

A gathering of this magnitude in today's society is unheard of because people are to wild, rampant and really don't have anything to appreciate. Things would get out of hand, people would be killed and it would be a stone cold mess.

I think they showed a flash of Miles Davis during Luther Ingrams' part.

There was a message in the music. The message faded away and the music is gone
