So please take 5 minutes out of your day to check my videos out and support me <3 Peace & Love - Amina Ali (Shabazz)
Does anyone buy this kind of angry rambling. One thing about over generalizing the wrongs of the world, ignorant people do it. It's more complicated than this quasi-fashionable-muslim-born-to-late-to-be-a-panther dilettante can imagine. Oh, and the big business men aren't worried about him. Nor are the politicians. I can assure you of that.
@zwalrus1 How could you post something so ugly on to something so beautiful? This man is expressing an expression from his spirit and regaurdless of if it's angry or peaceful, up lifting or deragortory, it's his expression and point of veiw. As a human being, as well as an individual, you must respect that! Anyway, I don't think he was talking to the politicians and big business men. I mean, what can they do?
ummmm....can we all calm down?! i love to watch def jam poetry but every single time i look at the comments its always people arguing about shit that's bigger than they are....religion is bigger than you people....you can be whatever religion you choose....all christians must remember that we are told to love thy neighbour as thyself & christians don't know much about muslims so we can't go around criticizing them ...lets just focus on our religion. GREAT poem :)
@MrIndifferent111 cuz on injustice being done and non-stop lies. like the muslims families who lost relatives in the twin towers get called terrorists on a daily basis and shit like that.like not telling what goes on in iraq about that 13 year old girl who was raped by an AMERICAN soldier and then her whole family including her 5 year old brother was killed execution style then he gets ONLY 6 years in prison.but we hear every little thing "terrorists" do when they r only protecting their country
I really don't understand all the malicious negative feed back it is a universal message to strive for freedom and to get rid of corruption. Don't be ignorant take time to listen and try to see the world out of other peoples lives who are less fortunate and apply the message to them
If he does not like America he could go back to Africa or any islamic shithole and have a look at the freedom there. He has the freedom to leave why not exercise it.
one more thought before I go. I actually do like all you ignorant bastards because without you I would have no one to argue with. I like it when you say stupid things it just reaffirms how right I am and occasionally, amazingly sometimes, you do have a valid point. either way I learned something about you or myself and lets be honest I LOVE to learn. btw have any of the people who profess to hate muslims read the koran?
i dont think any of them read the quran! if they did, they'd know what islam is about, and they wont talk shit as they do, so its just a blind hate based on nothing but racism and stupidity!
well, I been reading through a lot of the posts on this poem and to all the ignorant muslim haters out there if YOU are a christian then follow jesus's example and turn the other cheek. If YOU are an american read the first amendment. now I happen to like this poem but even if I didn't this IS the land of free speech... OFFEND ME. it is your right.
Oh right? Did Jesus turn the other cheek when the merchants were selling goods in the temple? Sorry a REAL Christian is a witness to the truth and speaks against evil. islam is an evil ideology founded by a paedophile, rapist, murderer and tyrant. If a Christian or anyone with a good moral conscience does not make a stand against that then he/she is of weak character.
@frankpaddyank Another ignorant nigger? You know how many "niggers" fought to die free? This is why you are ignorant sir, you will never understand. Do you know how long we tried to get rid of that name "nigger"? Are you my slave master sir, no! So have common sense, "niggers" have did little, but they have helped.
@frankpaddyank and youre a piece of shit posing as a human being, you fuck tard bush vote, its funny u called someone "ignorant" in the same sentence as "nigger" lol you do realize how contradicting that is dont u?
@LilBlitz116 you clearly dont fully understand or respect what people like him do if THAT was your first thought.... i urge you to do more listening to the poets from Def Poetry (gemineye,black ice, steve coleman, common, and wash it down with some shihan. to name a few) want some good hip hop to vibe too? check out atmosphere and brother ali.
@DaniellaGx its not violence..its in between peace and violence to have the strength to keep going to fight for freedom but have the paitience to use love...its not peaceful its not violent its between that...
poetry is expressing ones views,ideas,and feelings every one has the freedom to speak thier mind sometimes of love,hate or anger every one has anger for injustice or corruption it does excist but violance is not the way but some times a word can cut deeper then any sword or gun so a weapon is a weapon no matter the form it is in. its just how you use it. but other then that it is interesting peom and we need to view it as just a peom and if it touch u in any way good or bad it filled its purpose
@gt1049 Thanks Brother for your recommendations. I have listened to them all and they are great. I have been searching for these type of music. Thank you.
@Cardboardbocs : why not? You say: "I'd say this poem is more about an all or nothing..." LOL twat HE wrote it and he's righteously angry about the horrific injustices re: Muslims. Love em or hate em they got a right to write what THEY care about, and I don't see why you'd place this obligation for a Muslim mofo to kickass on EVERONE'S behalf when he's not ANGER about the fact you and I whiteys (I can tell lol) are a bit dissatisfied with the fact we are getting ripped to sh%t by the boss, bank
@stevenmiles, but why contain it to just Islamic anger? Id say this poem is more about an all or nothing point regarding freedom. that the pen AND the sword are necessary to sustain freedom. yes this poem has anti-Israeli opinions but at least hes eloquent about it and using a mic on a stage instead of tossing gasoline through windows to make a point. Welcome uncomfortable words.
@Stevemiles- hate and violence as a means to an end?
We've been at war for 8 years, displaying real violence, not just speaking or writing about it and just yesterday we've entered into the war theater in Libya. Were headed for a decade of war very soon and you have a problem with a guy on stage in front of a (relatively) small audience, expressing his mind.
I'm sorry but, if you saw this as just a muslim hate speech, then you are part of the problem.
@hairydysentery The only people that are offended by what I'm pointing out here are ether in agreement with this mind set or are ignorant of it. War I did not want and do not endorse, being beside the point you're making is just like somebody throwing large stones at a big crowd compared to throwing smaller ones a few. Great philosophy, maybe you should re-think it? Don't be sorry I saw it as a Muslim hate speech, it is what it is regardless of what you or I think. Hate in and hate out!
I don't know how you can call this poetry unless everything is poetry now. To me he's just ranting on about hate and encouraging violence. There were a few vague hints what it was he hated and even his political stance. Why beat around the bush, just say your a Muslim terrorist loving, white hater, cop hater, judge hater, and the list goes on hate hate and no poetry. I can't believe these people in the audience bought into his bullshit. If you plant hate like a seed, it will grow!
@mo3zart You assume I didn't listen and watch his video entirely. Did I judge his words? Yes I did and that's is the beautiful thing about You Tube, most the time we are allowed our opinions and judgements. I can qualify academically my point by referring to Amir Sulaiman own words, they are clear and can not be mistaken. I'm glad he's passionate about change of corruption in the world. I just don't happen to like the way he cultivates hate and violence as a means to an end. Peace to you.
@Bobbysamson no i dont but i get the feelin ur about to tell me lol. its just when he wus doin the in between part of the peom and the camera shot showed those highwaters at same time i found the connection kinda funny. dont take it personal
This iz 4 0Z720 I most surly hope ur not blk, cuz if soooo thats a god damn shame, TURNER-Nat Turner- he had HEART! he was a slave who led tha biggest slave reblion B 4 tha civil war, DOUGLAS-
Fredrick Douglas - was a
great MIND! he escaped his self out of slavery and became a great slave abolinist, and writer against anti slavery, and CHRIS-Chris Tucker- funny VOICED! comedian, he had a interesting political stand point an a movie called dead presidents
peace people, please take the time out to watch young 17 year old Ibrahim Sincere do a similar piece, show your supprot to the movement of young free thinkers
*I hate when people yell and blame "the white man"!!! for stuff. We have a black pres now.Anything a black man puts his mind to. He can do., Niggaz jus be lazy and like to blame something that happened before there grandparents were even born. Smh.
And your" brothers" are terroist, who wouldnt think twice about blowing up a building you were in sooooo thats where they belong so shut up. -I am a black man check my profile pick.
You said to check your profile you are a black man. Knowlede is power, We have had black president before, He is the first to honor his race. You talking about terroist, What that hjave to do with anything. The black race is still slipping into slavery. what are you doing to help the black race, are you fighting for your country or just posting comments that don't make sense. Last time, I check you and him are the same color and blacks are killing each other so who is the terror in america
@JulianAIDC I dont live in america nor american, but every nation has minority who r eitha blacks or browns,, and blacks kill each other cos thats all they know,, they shud blame the white men cosif he gave them equal rights with education and work ethics, wel today thy wont be sellin drugs, stealin or being in jail to survive, wud they? its the government that makes ethnic ppl a minority by takin equal EDUCATION away frm them or provide good systems. it may be 21 century but thy stil aint FREE
@Falisia11 SHUT UP!!! I am a black teenager, raised in onee of the worst parts of west philly. Yet, I read books,went to school, listened,had fun,stayed outtta trouble, chose my friends wisely. Now I'm in the 11th grade and my school conselor informed me that I have a full scholarship to UPenn.!! You wanna know what helped me in that acheivement. Not blaiming the white man!!! You cant blame someone for something thats clearly reachable for any black man or woman.
@JulianAIDC not to get n2 ur convo but i wanna say congrats on ur full scholarship..keep up the good work & get the most out of ur education..use it to help others in some way
1. I blame the "white man" for what he did to my people. That will never be forgiven or forgotten.
2. Yes, I blame "the white man" for what happened before my grandparents were born because he is AT FAULT for what happened to my ancestors. It doesn't matter if it happened last week or in the last 1,000 years, wrong is wrong and the blame does NOT go away.
@Amaru4ever May I remind you that in Biblical times, Eygptian Pharohs(African Kings) enslaved Hebrews. Ok. That was bad, many died. Does that possibly mean that Jews should now have a dislike or hatred towards africans. Well ofcourse not!!!!!! It happened years ago, and the people alive now had nothing to do with it. Yes there are still racsist white people!!! But in my opinion, "my people" are even more hateful. Neither is just. Read a book!!!!....17year old black educated male.
May I remind you that in Biblical times, Eygptian Pharohs(African Kings) enslaved Hebrews.
1) Your right that is bad, but what the hell does that have to do with anything I said. I never said anything about hating white people. I'm indifferent towards them. I don't like or hate them but i do respect their right to live, be free and happy. Which is more than I can say was given to my ancestors.
3. The fact that you use the "n-word" so quickly shows me that you are either: 1) sorely undereducated on your people's history, 2) or just extremely disrespectful. If it is #1 read a fucking book. If it is #2 show some respect for those that died so that you could have the opportunities that you take for granted. How dare you forget what happened to them and act like it wasn't something tragic.
I hate ungrateful people. These men and women gave their lives for you!
@Amaru4ever Whoa, I am an educated young man. This pushes me to be more for society. I used the word "nigga" no not to describe a black man, but to describe lazy black men who complain about "the white man." Ok. Why are black me, the main ones in prison. You wanna know? Becuase of this attitude passed along through the media to "blame someone else. Thats what I hate "white man" didnt put a gun in your hand in tell you to skip school and sell drugs.
1) You shouldn't be using the n-word period. It disrespects those who came before you. Why do you insult them even in death? Are you that ungrateful?
2) Why do black men make up a disproportionate number of prisoners in this nation....there are a variety of reason for that. Poverty and lack of education play a role and racism does a well, although to a lesser extent.
3) Most crime occur within the same racial group. Most whites that are victims of crimes in this nation are vicitimized by whites. The same goes for blacks, hispanics, asians, indians, etc. The only group this doesn't hold true for are Native Americans, who are vicitimized by whites (funny how that keeps happening).
Crime requires two elements: motive and opportunity. The motive is obviously and if the opportunity is right next door, why go across town?
This holds true for almost every racial group in the U.S. (except for the Native American, as I said before). Therefore, the whole notion of "black on black" crime is a racist one. All groups do it, why is the "black" man singled out? They (those in power) do this to subtly drive home the notion that we, the "blacks" are inferior. They are saying, "oh these other groups are civilized but not those n-words over there"

"I am not dangerous, I am danger,
I am not angry, I am anger...
I am David, with a slingshot and a rock, and if David lived today,
He'd have a molitov cocktail and a glock,
So down with Goliath, I say down with Goaliath..."
SUCH POWERFUL WORDS!

@Cardboardbocs : why not? You say: "I'd say this poem is more about an all or nothing..." LOL twat HE wrote it and he's righteously angry about the horrific injustices re: Muslims. Love em or hate em they got a right to write what THEY care about, and I don't see why you'd place this obligation for a Muslim mofo to kickass on EVERONE'S behalf when he's not ANGER about the fact you and I whiteys (I can tell lol) are a bit dissatisfied with the fact we are getting ripped to sh%t by the boss, bank

@stevenmiles, but why contain it to just Islamic anger? Id say this poem is more about an all or nothing point regarding freedom. that the pen AND the sword are necessary to sustain freedom. yes this poem has anti-Israeli opinions but at least hes eloquent about it and using a mic on a stage instead of tossing gasoline through windows to make a point. Welcome uncomfortable words.

@Stevemiles- hate and violence as a means to an end?
We've been at war for 8 years, displaying real violence, not just speaking or writing about it and just yesterday we've entered into the war theater in Libya. Were headed for a decade of war very soon and you have a problem with a guy on stage in front of a (relatively) small audience, expressing his mind.
I'm sorry but, if you saw this as just a muslim hate speech, then you are part of the problem.

@hairydysentery The only people that are offended by what I'm pointing out here are ether in agreement with this mind set or are ignorant of it. War I did not want and do not endorse, being beside the point you're making is just like somebody throwing large stones at a big crowd compared to throwing smaller ones a few. Great philosophy, maybe you should re-think it? Don't be sorry I saw it as a Muslim hate speech, it is what it is regardless of what you or I think. Hate in and hate out!

I don't know how you can call this poetry unless everything is poetry now. To me he's just ranting on about hate and encouraging violence. There were a few vague hints what it was he hated and even his political stance. Why beat around the bush, just say your a Muslim terrorist loving, white hater, cop hater, judge hater, and the list goes on hate hate and no poetry. I can't believe these people in the audience bought into his bullshit. If you plant hate like a seed, it will grow!

@mo3zart You assume I didn't listen and watch his video entirely. Did I judge his words? Yes I did and that's is the beautiful thing about You Tube, most the time we are allowed our opinions and judgements. I can qualify academically my point by referring to Amir Sulaiman own words, they are clear and can not be mistaken. I'm glad he's passionate about change of corruption in the world. I just don't happen to like the way he cultivates hate and violence as a means to an end. Peace to you.

1. I blame the "white man" for what he did to my people. That will never be forgiven or forgotten.
2. Yes, I blame "the white man" for what happened before my grandparents were born because he is AT FAULT for what happened to my ancestors. It doesn't matter if it happened last week or in the last 1,000 years, wrong is wrong and the blame does NOT go away.

@Amaru4ever May I remind you that in Biblical times, Eygptian Pharohs(African Kings) enslaved Hebrews. Ok. That was bad, many died. Does that possibly mean that Jews should now have a dislike or hatred towards africans. Well ofcourse not!!!!!! It happened years ago, and the people alive now had nothing to do with it. Yes there are still racsist white people!!! But in my opinion, "my people" are even more hateful. Neither is just. Read a book!!!!....17year old black educated male.

1) Your right that is bad, but what the hell does that have to do with anything I said. I never said anything about hating white people. I'm indifferent towards them. I don't like or hate them but i do respect their right to live, be free and happy. Which is more than I can say was given to my ancestors.

3. The fact that you use the "n-word" so quickly shows me that you are either: 1) sorely undereducated on your people's history, 2) or just extremely disrespectful. If it is #1 read a fucking book. If it is #2 show some respect for those that died so that you could have the opportunities that you take for granted. How dare you forget what happened to them and act like it wasn't something tragic.
I hate ungrateful people. These men and women gave their lives for you!
Amaru4ever 1 year ago
@Amaru4ever Whoa, I am an educated young man. This pushes me to be more for society. I used the word "nigga" no not to describe a black man, but to describe lazy black men who complain about "the white man." Ok. Why are black me, the main ones in prison. You wanna know? Becuase of this attitude passed along through the media to "blame someone else. Thats what I hate "white man" didnt put a gun in your hand in tell you to skip school and sell drugs.
JulianAIDC 1 year ago
@JulianAIDC
1) You shouldn't be using the n-word period. It disrespects those who came before you. Why do you insult them even in death? Are you that ungrateful?
2) Why do black men make up a disproportionate number of prisoners in this nation....there are a variety of reason for that. Poverty and lack of education play a role and racism does a well, although to a lesser extent.
Amaru4ever 1 year ago
@JulianAIDC
3) Most crime occur within the same racial group. Most whites that are victims of crimes in this nation are vicitimized by whites. The same goes for blacks, hispanics, asians, indians, etc. The only group this doesn't hold true for are Native Americans, who are vicitimized by whites (funny how that keeps happening).
Crime requires two elements: motive and opportunity. The motive is obviously and if the opportunity is right next door, why go across town?
Amaru4ever 1 year ago
@JulianAIDC
This holds true for almost every racial group in the U.S. (except for the Native American, as I said before). Therefore, the whole notion of "black on black" crime is a racist one. All groups do it, why is the "black" man singled out? They (those in power) do this to subtly drive home the notion that we, the "blacks" are inferior. They are saying, "oh these other groups are civilized but not those n-words over there"
