"Where We Stand" by Taylor Mickal - Def Poetry (HQ Audio)

[joeabennett]

When are you going to post the Michael Jackson poem?

[BlackStallion777]

I have like 5 videos that are lingering and have yet to be posted.

I don't have a video of me performing that one, and I figured if I just sat in front of a camera and did it, it wouldn't be as good as if I was performing it like in this one.

[mgmurphey]

sorry that was poorly written before I posted it...

I mean, If I were not to see you I wouldn't know what your race was, I would be unable to define by hearing if you were black or white...

Thus, although you were talking about defined sides, you were neutral- the messanger.

[BlackStallion777]

That's quite alright. I understood what you meant. I don't mean to have a neutral voice.

But remember, this is not about simply defining sides of two races. When I say "I live in a world of black and white", I mock the common thought that these two races are the only ones in conflict with each other, and are commonly brought up in racism discussions. There are many other races that are left undiscussed.

[mgmurphey]

Ahhh, ok interesting:) Well I hope I didnt offend you; I just thought it was interesting... I mean I guess neutral wasn't a good word... ummm it was like you blurred the lines for color with your undefined voice...Thus being undefined you were able to speak for those (unheard/forgotten) that fall between the lines. I dont know; I like to make things more complicated than they should be lol. To sum it up... Awesome job!:)

[BlackStallion777]

You didn't offend me; I was just clarifying that for anyone else who may have misunderstood. Thank you for the compliment. I hope you spread the message as much as you can.

[mgmurphey]

Interestingly your voice is very neutral... If I were to not see you I wouldn't know if you were black and voice...

So although your were talking about defined sides, you were neutral- the messenger.

[bonnienavyellington]

Snapping your finger? I think that's beatnik stuff.

[BlackStallion777]

People try snapping their fingers for my poems regardless. It's just a precaution.
