White supremacy meets “black boy rage”: Why Tupac’s needed more today than ever

[gwheezie]

20. Tupac

I am of a prior generation but when I listen to Tupac it reminds me of the voices of my generation,who came before Tupac and used a different medium but the message is more chapters of the book. I am posting the text of the speech of my generation, I believe Tupac was one of the voices of his generation, I am listening for the voices of this generation.
Brave, I did not comment on your other thread but I believe that what Stokely talks about in his speech ties into what you were saying about one black man making it does not mean white supremacy no longer effects the life of black folks in this country, a black man making it against the backdrop of white male rule in this country is to make white folks feel better. Stokely says this better and I believe very little has changed, Tupac is another voice in the same struggle.
This is a long speech but so relevant, so relevant. It is tied together, at least I think so.
