nochokin, I agree with your timeline, but I was speaking about his heart and soul evolving from and being affected by the jim crow era seeing it wasn't to far removed from that time. I don't see what the raping of black women or the violent deaths of 200 million slaves have to do with closetized gay men.

[nochokin]

@lrak999 his heart and soul you didnt not know....and what I AM TALKIN ABOUT is the poem Subjects Was Faggets which had nothin to do with jim crow, slavery, consciousness, race or HIM..so like i said in the video, on one hand he was conscious but on the otherhand he was homophobic idiot like you ...that run around being derogatory about something he didnt understand LIKE YOU did in your last comment. SO before you disrespect me knwo what your talkin about cause you making your self sound stupid

[2ColdHERO]

U dumb bitch!! U know nothing of consciousness or of ur peoples struggle! or the man that u critique, stupid motha fuckas like ur self r the reason that blacks were slaves so long! U should play russian roulette with a loaded pistol faggot ass dike ho!! (that 1's 4 u Gil!)

[nochokin]

@2ColdHERO so which one am i a fagget or a dike...you sound confused as him...i dont call knowing the true socioeconomic situation of Black people are in as "conscious"...i call it a normal state of being...we all should know that then and now.....this poem was NOT about the strugge of people or anything conscious...it was just derogatory toward gays...nothin productive....i discuss the hypocrisy the black community....and he displays that in this piece...you dont like it? fuck you dummy

DON'T GO AND TALK ABOUT MY HERO CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE MANY BLACK HERO'S

[nochokin]

@kendra3136 well i dont know were you from but i have tons of black heros....Gil Scott Heron is not one of them...i respect wat you did for hiphop ...but that were it end.... Bayard Rustin is one of my Black heros...he was a gay man who advse Martin luther king jr...and was the diving force in organizing and executing te march on washington a staple demonstration of the civil rights era...maybe you should look him up...and many more...sorry you dont have more Black heros in your life than Gil

[nochokin]

@strugglebuggietv hmmm just the fact that you imply that because i wasnt born in the 70's i should have an opinion on Gil .... make anything you say after that irrelevant

Gil Scott-Heron RIP. One of the best ever

[lrak999]

Thank you. Praise the lord!

[nochokin]

@lrak999 no this poem was not written in the Jim crow time which ended prior to the 70s...this poem written in the early 70s when homsexuals were having Gay balls on 34 and 8th avenue...which he talks about in the poem ....you would have to know the gay history to know what significance that has...but to answer your question yes some racist secretly lust after Blacks hence the rapes and children created during slavery ...I dont know Gil personally...i am just state what my thoughts of him are

[lrak999]

So are you saying that the supremist groups who publicly lashed out at the black race were really on the downlow and they actually loved us with a passion? This poem was written in a different era(Jim Crow, colored water fountains, and other segregations). Its not unusual to find in this Christian society people who strongly believe that god created woman for a certain role as well as man for a certain role. Cmon, give the guy a break. RIP Gil Scott-Heron.
