"Black Thanks" by Nick Holder. Chillin house track with audio from somewhere thanking a ton of influential people and organizations from black heritage and power. Some awesome choices for sure. Pretty funny to hear Ho Chi Minh next to W.E.B. Dubois next to Public Enemy.

"It's a black thanks, you better understand."

EDIT: btw is a short description too much to ask for the youtube videos? Personally I'm probably not gonna watch it unless theres at aleast a couple words letting me know what it is.

Its so depressing. One of the reasons Bradley Manning's ordeal gets to me is when I think about it with myself in his shoes. If I came across a video showing guys in an attack helicopter acting like 8 year olds in front of a playstation, murdering journalists, then shooting up a guy who happens to drive by and wanted to help the wounded. I would have thought that this is it. This is the imagery that will get Americans to think differently about war. Weather or not I would have had the balls to do what he did is up for debate, but I would have felt the same.

So the guy puts his life on the line, probably based largely on the same nauseating feeling that we get looking at that father and son behind an inadequate barrier. And then people come out of the woodwork, not to defend him, but the scumbags in that helicopter. Its a sad realization that a large portion of your peers have the capacity to see images like that without feeling anything.

:smith:



If you read the Manning-Lamo chat logs, it's obvious Manning was really depressed due to their gender issues at the time and the institutional transphobia that's amplified in the armed forces didn't really help. :smith:

You have a funny way of pronouncing :ussr:"Great Patriotic War":ussr: Seriously, Stalingrad is the battle that won the war in Europe, and this is the house that won the battle of Stalingrad.


The hill that may have also won the war.

quote:

When the battle ended, the soil on the hill had been so thoroughly churned by shellfire and mixed with metal fragments that it contained between 500 and 1,250 splinters of metal per square meter. The earth on the hill had remained black in the winter, as the snow kept melting in the many fires and explosions. In the following spring the hill would still remain black, as no grass grew on its scorched soil. The hill's formerly steep slopes had become flattened in months of intense shelling and bombardment. Even today, it is possible to find fragments of bone and metal still buried deep throughout the hill.

The extent to which WW2 in Europe was mostly a conflict between the Nazis and Soviets should get more attention:

quote:

The Theresa was an historic hotel in the heart of Harlem. It was the first time that any United Nations delegation had ever stayed in Harlem. Fidel Castro—along with Juan Alameida, the head of the Cuban Armed Forces—would walk along the streets of Harlem, shaking hands, drinking orange juice at a hot-dog chain called “Nedicks,” and talking to the people in the streets of Harlem.

People dancing to A Carvalhesa, a popular Portuguese song from the 19th century (I think?) which is used to signal the end of the festival and which usually makes people go completely bonkers, myself included.

The memorial complex at Mamayev Kurgan is pretty amazing. Pictures really don't do it justice. It's an incredibly moving piece of monumental art. I got the same feeling there I did the first time I visited the Vietnam Wall in DC, but it's on a totally different scale. I was going to upload some of my own photos, but this guy is a better photographer than me so I'll link his gallery instead.
