Nina Simone Strange Fruit Remixed By Montecristo

I love this artist and I love the song, the original been piano and vox. This is my small contribution. I thought long and hard before deciding if it was ok to upload this remix with these images. As you can see, I am a white person and didn't want to be seen as patronizing. But in my view, a crime of racism, is a crime against everybody and on my part, as an individual, if I don't oppose to it, if I don't say or do anything, I became an accomplice. Well an accomplice I'm not so, I uploaded it. I hope you'll find it accettable.

@botchalism. I ask you nicely and politely, can you please stop polluting this page? You are not funny, you are not been clever. You have stretched your "debate" as far as it can go....enough now....or we'll start thinking that you don't have friends........

[docmontecristo]

@botchalism, I could answer in many different ways but we communicated enough for a life time!

[docmontecristo]

For botchalism. You can't say thing like that! I am Italian and if we should follow your line of thinking we would have to say that crime is for italians just because of the existence of mafia! The point is that we are all only responsible as individuals, my actions are my actions and not the actions of my race. Your race is not responible for your silly statement, just you!

This one is for 1971ShawnW: I am proud & relieved by the fact that you didn't like and marked poorly my effort and more generally this famous song as you are clearly a racist, YOU ARE NOT WELLCOME ON THIS PAGE!!!

Thank God for men like Martin Luther King. In the here and now, you will not find a kinder place than NC. But once, as a child, I nearly had my teeth knocked from my mouth by my own mother when I called our housekeeper a "lady". NO N***** WAS EVER A LADY!" she shouted at me as I sobbed on the floor. God forgive us. God forgive us all...

@hueseph - the "ly" that was a typo.

[XforeverlongingX]

@hueseph My challenge to you stands. It's your job, as the one making the otherworldly claim to provide evidence for your claim. You have failed to separate the conjoined arguments that you slickly tried to piece as one. Separate the deistic argument "There may be a creator" from the theistic "there is a creator who intervenes, ly, in human affairs. Allows us to only eat certain foods, have sex with certain people and in certain positions, require we mutilate children's genitals, etc"

[XforeverlongingX]

@hueseph "There are no other animals that would even ponder a higher being. " Correct. You're adding to my argument. We are the only primates that know that we will die. That is why we make up stories about an afterlife, about an eternal parent. Now, let me get back to your earlier point. "If you can show me how DNA can spontaneously exist and with the ability to replicate itself continually then i might consider your comment valid." Doesn't separate deist from theist argument

[XforeverlongingX]

@hueseph No no no. Your mind demands patterns. You are a pattern seeking primate. The human composition is not a composition of parts that are jammed together like a computer. We have lasted, outlasted, the world because we have enough to sustain ourselves. The world is not functioning with us in mind. If what you were saying is true, then the human species would not have almost gone completely extinct periodically, as it decreased to almost 5,000 at one point in history.

[hueseph]

@XforeverlongingX Your ability to even question it should prove something to you. There are no other animals that would even ponder a higher being. DNA. If you can show me how DNA can spontaneously exist and with the ability to replicate itself continually then i might consider your comment valid. DNA is a blueprint. Every blueprint has a draftsman. This world has everything we need to sustain us? Why? Because we evolved together? Out of nothing. Which other planet has this?

[XforeverlongingX]

@hueseph This comment is gibberish. You have no access to knowledge allowing you to A. know the existence of a supernatural being. B. know which one out of the billions imagined to be true. C. that the being intervenes in human affairs. D. What this being wants. You have to get passed A. to even begin to go toe to toe with me.

[XforeverlongingX]

@hueseph You've just expanded upon my earlier point. Slaves none the less. In many parts of S. America, slaves were taken in the exact way you have illustrated. No fellow primate has the right to enslave others. In debt or not.

[hueseph]

@XforeverlongingX Many religions profane the Bible. Do not equate religion with the God of the Bible who has a name. The God of this world however is nameless in the Bible. Black Sabbath wrote the song Lord of This World. They weren't talking about the God of the Bible. The Bible calls Satan the Lord of This World. You've seen the proof.

[hueseph]

@XforeverlongingX Slaves of the Hebrews were either employees (like a maid or hired hand) or slaves out of debt. The Bible guides the "masters" to love their slave as a part of their household. Also a slave out of debt was to be set free after 7 years. This is Mosaic LAW. Unless the slave loved his "master" so much that he wished to stay his "slave". It's true that people used passages of the Bible as an excuse to have slaves but these were not slaves in the Biblical sense.

[XforeverlongingX]

@webdba11 "god" actually played a huge role in slavery. Your "god" commands it in the bible, you ignoramus. It was also practiced by the very religious Catholic Conquistadors which most likely inspired it in North America, who modeled many things from Spanish and Portuguese Imperialism.
