All the movements needed to be present, all those attitudes needed to be present because they were present within the community of the oppressor. You cannot have one sect being all non-violent when the other sect has violence bubbling over. That's unintelligent. There had to be a Malcolm, a Huey and Bobby, a Stockley, and a Martin; along with others. Sometimes you can sing and pray for God to help and sometimes you've got to instill the fear of God into your enemy.
P.S I love this women not because i'm a black girl but because she's an amazing and influential women who makes beautiful music, i wish music was still like this with meaningful and influential lyrics instead of about sex and money, but emphasizing the problems (there sure is a lot of problems round the world) and going on's now so people can be aware and influenced. likes like Nina S and John Lennon need to come back, this is coming from a 16 year old :)
This piece on Nina Simone has nothing to do with what I read today online about Delta but it has everything to do with what people will do to people if you let it happen. The article in the paper about Delta Airlines accepting a deal that excludes passengers to Saudi Arabia makes no fu**ing sense. We should all boycott businesses that go against freedom for all people. Sure you can say anything you want to say, what are we gonna do..
I needed this, my spirit has become too complacent. I had almost completely lost touch with the reality of the blood, sweat, tears and prayers of the past that have allowed my life to be so blessed. Thank you.
Violence does not work in the end. I beleive in self defense but love is the only answer in the end. Does anyone care what I beleive? We should all care about each other then togther we might find a answer. Hate does not work look at Isreal and Palistine. There only one race, the Human Race. We are all Guilty and we are all innocent.
I feel like how she felt then; I would have been a killer. I would have never been part of MLK movement. I would have been a dead man but a happy dead man.
@jjionner Black people were being hung, lynched, beaten and murdered for no reason. People were praying in their churches on the holiest day of the week and those churches were bombed with elders, children and babies in them. Peaceful protestors had dogs ordered to attack them as weel as extremely high pressure fire hoses aimed at them. Knowing and seeing this; their could be no way that I would have wanted to be part of any non-violent movement.
Fair play, it would have been hard to hold back but King knew there was a way beyond fighting. Not arguing by the way, just interested, we all have an appreciation of what Nina and MLK did. Thanks.
What 10 idiots disliked this..? MLK was a legend. His passion for equality cannot even be described. He was non-violent but fought like a solider to uphold this belief for all the people, black or white. Rest in peace Dr Martin Luther King, you will never be forgotten and people will continue to fight inspired by your words and actions.
I feel violent watching this. I feel hateful for such ignorance. Regardless of being white. And I sure don't understand this hate, this ignorance that makes one feel they have chosen the colour of their skin and the superiority they feel because of this. I don't ever want to know or understand how any human could believe and feel it just or right to enslave a person, keep someone uneducated, control another, beat and kill another.
@4bla same here... it's a so damn stupid feeling... just because of the color of the skin? i know so many ppl from various races, which one is even awesome than other! :)
be certain and see your dreams as reality. no wonder "black" people are so strong. they know who they are and where they have come from more than white skinned people who have no idea. and i am white. these people marched, they fought, they lost, they won everything they deserved. they go all the way now. to coloured people the world over - it's your turn to write history. the white's have done a shocking job - we need some of that faith and soul!!!

nina is the goddess of music. her songs drag me out of the abyss for sure. thank nina simone and rest in peace. she be singing like an real angel now not that she didnt before
Documentries like these make me feel like I was there. It just brings tears to my eyes. RIP to all the innocent folks who lost their lives.... most of them, in the worst possible ways. And thank God that although we arent there yet, the world changes... though ever so slowly
i'm not embarrassed to be white but i'm disgusted by the stance taken by those racists at the time.......in the same way that many germans probably feel as a result of wwII, racism nowadays is still there ,but a lot more ''cloak and dagger'', i try to talk these people round.
She gives so much inspiration to me as a black girl from the hood. When i look around me the majority of black women i see don't really like themselves, bleaching, weave, dirt mouths afraid to be themselves. the minority are those who embrace their blackness and i appreciate that. Nina thank you for helping this black girl lost find her way. CHECK OUT MY NATURAL HAIR VIDEO AND LEAVE COMMENT. IT'S ONLY 1:22
It´s called "Mississipi goddam", it´s a song written about 4 black kids who were killed when KKK put a black church on fire; se sings about alabama, tenessee and other places where blacks were being murdered.
Great for the Soul of those who lived the times. I wonder if anyone has anything she did in Atlantic City in 1961? She was great then and she will be one of the greats forever!
I don't think that she was racist I just think that the times created an unease toward whites. I just think that she is really afro-centric, but I agree her music is da-bomb and it is universal even though its about oppression anyone can relate.
she wasnt a nutjob she just saw the world as it was , in black and white ,and if she wasnt disturbed by this then she wouldnt have been an artist, meanwhile , in the words of the goth kids fro SouthPark, the rest of America lived the Disney lie where everything was fine and dandy behind the white picket fence
if you go and call her a "nutjob", don't forget to say it was a very reasoned non-sanity... a "job" done by a WHACKED apartheistic regime where her people were getting MURDERED left and right... and where they'd been dispossessed for hunreds of years, forcibly. that will make anyone CONSCIOUS crazy. we are still less than fully human here in Amerika. better rest assured, but sitll not fully human.check (y)our history.
and yes, i agree, that's probably why her music IS so free from conceit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love Simone's music, but she was a complete nutjob. Maybe that's why it seemed so free from conceit.
It's a good thing that they are probably less than half as inhuman in America as they were in the '50s and '60s, but vaingloriously poncing on about the redundant history of her political posturing taints the sound.
and if you want music "untainted" by life and love and suffering, go move to a vacuum.
and go listen to the new age people maybe they can help you out! lol
~~
and bf u think SHe's crazy for feeling that... those people were getting SHOT and were defenseless.
i personally believe in nonviolence... but it's easier preached than practiced. if that was YOUR people (and if you're like most people..) you'd think the NONviolents were the crazies.
this so touching, not just as a white or a black person but as a human being who is disgusted by the behaviour of those who have been infected by the virus of hate and intolerance.
I'm a black woman and I'm sorry you feel that way.I feel it would be better if you simply hate their ignorance.God himself shows love to even the wicked but hates their wickedness at the same time.
Sancitons were slapped onto the South African Government in the 1980's because of racial violence etc. But Sanctions, Boycotts and Embargoes have NEVER ever been put on the US Administration. Why?
And let us not forget that her dreams were of being a classical pianist, she had that path blocked because of her race so I dont think the civil rights issue for her was a fab
I think that it is more than that. She did not just pick a cause. The cause picked her. I am extremely surprised that she was allowed to sing most of the songs that she sang.
You can't seperate any person from their era/time/generation. She in no way 'picked a cause'. When people pick a cause today, it's almost always external to them. A black person living in an era without rights does not have a chance to 'choose'...think about the irony.
Dang, Nina is ain't no joke, and I fully believe her. That makes me love her even more! She refused to become a doormat to people full of hate - she didn't play!
I Don't EVER want to hear another one of those NEO CON Bastards refer to "TERRORISTS" as though it is some Foreign Concept hatched OUTSIDE of THESE UNITED STATES.
she was actually rumored to have shot at this teenage boy who lived next door to her because he made too much noise and he disturbed her concentration.
38 years ago Nina's music made me aware of that evil thing called discrimination. For that I will be forever grateful as it was Nina who inspired me to take stands back than and still now when it comes to human dignity.
YO I love her....she sitting there eating and chillin talkin bout I would have been a killa!! The white man has ruled the world through VIOLENCE be it mental or physical...why should the "masses" not come at them the same way???
All the movements needed to be present, all those attitudes needed to be present because they were present within the community of the oppressor.

she was right in using her high profile to
support the cause whether she benefitted from it

just like bono vox worry about people
dying of hunger in developing countries
the world is a circus

And let us not forget that her dreams were of being a classical pianist, she had that path blocked because of her race so I dont think the civil rights issue for her was a fab

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I like Mrs. Nina Simone as a musician "NOT" as a Political / Civil Rights icon.
Sinnerman Rocks!!!!
Nothing new, when people become famous they pick a cause to lead or follow. Just like today.
I like actors who act and Singers who sing.
Could care less about their views on life, the world, and political matters.

I think that it is more than that. She did not just pick a cause. The cause picked her. I am extremely surprised that she was allowed to sing most of the songs that she sang.

You can't seperate any person from their era/time/generation. She in no way 'picked a cause'. When people pick a cause today, it's almost always external to them. A black person living in an era without rights does not have a chance to 'choose'...think about the irony.

Dang, Nina is ain't no joke, and I fully believe her. That makes me love her even more! She refused to become a doormat to people full of hate - she didn't play!

she was actually rumored to have shot at this teenage boy who lived next door to her because he made too much noise and he disturbed her concentration.

38 years ago Nina's music made me aware of that evil thing called discrimination. For that I will be forever grateful as it was Nina who inspired me to take stands back than and still now when it comes to human dignity.
