@vradul Tell 'em "Not unless your grandmother was Rosa Parks." It won't be water and it won't be cold and it won't be in your lap. ;-)

@vradul STOOD? Well, BFD. Nostalgia lulls memories and is the opiate of inertia, making you face the wrong direction. There's a cross for you to bear; things to go through if you're going anywhere, or so the song says.

@FlysAtNightWoman The feds will classify this for 60 years. Then what is released will be largely concealed from view on the grounds of national security--with ANYONE in the Oval Office. Oprah has clout, real clout. And even the money. You have to let her know you and everyone you can shake out of inertia want her to make this a cause of vital importance. So, STAND.

@wqvsaa @wqvsaa Greetings! If what you're saying is true, then I find it an absolute disgrace that NONE of this was publicized in any way--even in the last 20-years! I mean, I know all about the ridiculous racism of that time, with most ppl of color not being given credit for any major & monumental accomplishments they made in anything but music basically---but something THIS big should've been brought out & talked about openly &...... (Continued in next comment)

(Continued) in detail over at least the last 20-years......on OPRAH, discussed on the Cosby Show as part of their Black History educational scenes for the Huxtable kids, etc, etc. If this is true, it's deplorable that no one today knows anything about this.
Where can this be researched (or CAN IT)????
Are there any videos of Sly Stone talking about it with anyone? Historically-Inquiring Minds want to know!! :)

@kewlbreez77 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Sly Stone is healthy! Although like many artists, both past and present, he did go through a drug phase, that is long since past. He is definitely in a legal battle with a former manager, who from all accounts has stolen from him, but Sly is not a drug-addled vegetable.
