Poor Amiri Baraka...he really didn't do his homework on Barack O.....the chocolate-dipped white guy born of CIA parents, raised in private schools, worked for Business International Corporation (the CIA) after leaving the university system. Some people just want to believe in Santa Claus.
Actually you dumb ass cracker the U.S. does hold people... If they don't, than why do blacks have to ask permission to go back home to our country inwhich your forefathers stole and looted us from???? Passport,Licenses, and all of this other crap they have come up with.. You probably are a working class meth smoking, cousin fucking, Hitler loving, dumb ass cracker that is too stupid to even realize that you are a white slave.... Dumb ass!
Unfortunately there is only one person laughing out loud. The rest of us are praying for peace love and understanding... ooohhh... what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding...?
This comment section exemplifies the fundamental problem with youtube. This poem is about a colossal achievement by a talented African American--one poet accompanied by one musician--it is a positive reflection on the past (Lester Young) and the present (Prez Obama.) All this positivity is destined to be destroyed by some TROLL who turns it into a race war. If we bombard this video with positive comments the TROLL will disappear. Peace/Love/Knowledge!
Amiri Baraka is also the leading authority on American music.
Blues People is the book that put him on the map.
Ditchman is the play that put him on the map.
Since then he has made many cultural contributions to this great nation that is plagued by racism, illiteracy, and hatred.
TheLagunaSunrise needs to learn how to read but his mind is too contaminated with hatred to take that first step. Go to the library--get the book--open it up--and read every page from cover to cover. Good luck!
@ktwheels44 Well USA does not hold people. You can leave at any time if you feel soooo oppressed in the USA. Black racism, ignorance and stupidity is the real problem here.
For all of the literate non-haters The Autobiography of Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka explains in great detail where Amiri Baraka came up with his abstract style. He incorporates jazz improvisation, poetry, surrealism, and a combination of the philosophy of Malcolm X combined with the African philosophy known as Kawaida--a creation of Ron Karenga.
TheLagunaSunrise simply cannot grasp this form of abstract expressionism. Amiri Baraka has grown a considerable amount since his anti-white days... in fact he is using a white musician in this video. The only form of logic I can see with TheLagunaSunrise is unbridled indiscriminate racism and hatred. There is no need to respond to such a clueless fool who has never even read a single Amiri Baraka book. Your grade=F minus.
The crazy thing about Amiri Baraka is that most of his most controversial poems aren't actually as controversial as they sound. If only people developed an ear for metaphor, metonomy, and irony -- as well as reading the poem as a whole -- then maybe they would actually gain something from him.
@sumsucsidxermus00 ok if you dont like his poetry don't comment or watch the video you idiot you are seriously a clown for even "wasting" your time this man is very wise and speaking of the hidden truths people like you are too oblivious to admit. open your mind and understand what he's saying not what you have been taught or programmed to believe seriously. just open your mind and stop saying crackhead poetry what is that anyway? grow up son.
@sumsucsidxermus00 Fuck white English romantic bullshit poetry punk... Keats is no Amiri Baraka. If you read the rest of my comments you will realize you are one of the idiots who forgot to do their homework. Thumbs up to knowledge not your ignorance.
Knowledge is King and this man is like an Egyptian God who has come to protect his people from the ignorance, greed, and illiteracy of modern civilization. The truth is dangerous in a world full of stupidity. Amiri=love.
This man is a genius and any person who would dare to insult his intelligence is not worth responding to. For all of you haters you need to read Blues People, The Fiction of LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, The Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka Reader, The Autobiography of Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka, and The Autobiography of Malcolm X as Told to Alex Haley just to be qualified to diss. While you are at it you must read every Frederick Douglass autobiography and Richard Wright's Native Son and Black Boy. WORD.
@ktwheels44 great comments man, i've read all the malcolm x books and langston hughes as well which have opened my mind in large masses, but i'll have to look into the others. thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Does this racist goon even know why the saxophone is called the SAXophone? Because it was invented by a Belgian white cracker devil, called Adolphe SAX.
lol @ the anti-white racists who are surrounded by white cracker devil inventions & discoveries. This very second, whilst they view this very comment, they are using the internet, world wide web & PC - all invented by the white cracker devil. Oh, and the electricity that powers it all was harnessed by the white cracker devil.
@TheLagunaSunrise you're reaching, dude. People of different races have invented all of the things we can barely function without today. To call this man a racist goon shows you have no respect and I do not mix with the ignorant so my comment ends here.
@AshaBee73 I'm not "reaching", 'dude'. The inventions I listed were ALL invented by white cracker DEVILS; the PC, internet, world wide web & the saxophone. That's fact. No wonder you don't want to debate, because you can't stand the truth.
@TheLagunaSunrise This racist goon as you call him is the most controversial revolutionary African American on the planet dude...nobody cares about who invented the sax...get a life.
@ktwheels44 I don't care what you claim him to be. I do, however, know he is an anti-white RACIST. One has to ask the question; why would an anti-white racist choose to use inventions created by the white cracker DEVIL? Food for thought. ;-)
@TheLagunaSunrise You are fucking kidding me right? You have no idea who Lester Young is... So let me get this right--you are going to shit on the graves of Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Cannonball Adderly, and John Coltrane because the sax was created by a white man? Which one are you? an anti-white racist? or a white cracker devil? That's not food for thought--that is shit for brains.
@ktwheels44 How am I shitting on their graves by stating the FACT that a white cracker DEVIL created the saxophone? What kind of logic are you using? lol
Again, I have to ask the question - why would an anti-white racist choose to use inventions created by the white cracker DEVIL. It doesn't make ANY sense. It would be like a KKK member listening to some blues LOL...
@TheLagunaSunrise man the internet was not invented by a person. it was the result of collaboration over the course of many years between scientists who were not all white. and im watchin this on my cell phone, which actually was invented by a black man.
@TheLagunaSunrise you fail, retard. cell phones operate using gamma-electric cells, invented by Henry T Samson, a black man. There were also Black men and women who helped create the internet (there was no "creator" or "creators" because it happened over time. there was no single creation event.) Maybe they don't teach you about that stuff in Neo-Nazi Training Camp
@itsturbotimeyall LMFAO... TYPICAL! I KNEW you were going to bring up Samson. Gamma radiation has NOTHING to do with cellular communication. This MYTH has been destroyed, but you're still trying to push it. LOL! MARTIN COOPER. GOOGLE IT. RETARD.
I never said the internet wasn't created "over time" you numbskull. It was ALL MASTERMINDED by PEOPLE of European descent. Funny how you don't list any of these blacks who were fundamental in the creation of the internet, isn't it? LOL!
@TheLagunaSunrise by your logic, we can only blame white cracker devils for the destruction of planet Earth, since apparently we have them alone to thank for the over-consumption of energy and rampant pollution. that is why your logic fails, if you can understand those big words and multi-layered ideas.
@itsturbotimeyall Wow... you're quite fond of FAILING, aren't you? LOL! The white man isn't forcing you, or anyone else to use cars, planes, busses etc etc. You CHOOSE to. YOU choose to contribute to the polution of the globe. Don't tell me you HAVE to use a car or a bus. Ever heard of a bicycle (also invented by the white cracker DEVIL LOL)?
And there is no "destruction of planet earth" going on, you fucking retard. One day, earth won't exist. One day, this solar system won't exist. IDIOT. LOL
Poor Amiri Baraka...he really didn't do his homework on Barack O.....the chocolate-dipped white guy born of CIA parents, raised in private schools, worked for Business International Corporation (the CIA) after leaving the university system. Some people just want to believe in Santa Claus.
