Note to Alex Reimer : This is what I call a child prodigy.
From the New York Post’s David Andreatta :
A 7-year-old girl unleashed a firestorm when she recited a poem she wrote comparing Christopher Columbus and Charles Darwin to “pirates” and “vampires” who robbed blacks of their identities and human rights.
Hundreds of parents of Peekskill middle- and high-school students received a recorded phone message last week apologizing for little Autum Ashante’s poem, titled “White Nationalism Put U in Bondage.”
“Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse,” the aspiring actress and poet wrote. “They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took the black women, with the black man weak. Made to watch as they changed the paradigm of our village.
“Yeah white nationalism is what put you in bondage. Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan and Darwin.”
(Chuck Darwin, above, unavailable for comment)
Autum, whose résumé includes several television appearances and performances at the Apollo Theater and the African Burial Ground in Manhattan, told The Post that her poem was meant to instill pride in black students and to encourage them to steer clear of violence.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my poem. I was trying to tell them the straight-up truth,” Autum said. “I’m trying to tell them not to fight because they’re killing the brothers and sisters.”
Yeah white nationalism is what put you in bondage. Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan and Darwin.â€
as one who has sailed many a voyage with that pirate captain morgan i can assure you that while it isn’t always smooth sailing it has never ended in bondage. yet.
“Origin of the Species” keeps the black race down? Wait’ll the creationists get ahold of this.
If those insane creationist crackers find out that “The Origin of Species” keeps the brother down they’ll embrace Evolution faster than South Dakota can outlaw abortion.
“White Nationalism Put U in Bondage”
It seems interesting to me that so much of Black Pride expression is centered around the idea that Blacks are victims. How does that help Black people progress? How does that help to strengthen Black communities? Isn’t it time to move away from victimhood? Playing the victim card takes away your power to make change.
“Isn’ it time to move away from victimhood?”
if I had a dime for everytime I’ve heard that one.
Ok for those who are so lost. . .
No one is playing victim the truth must be a very hard pill for you to swallow.
Her poem was for her to teach her peers that they have come a long way. . .and that from that they should rise up and be proud and find other ways to deal with the frustrations they have in American culture.
For you to only get that she was crying victim shows your level of ignorance, It’s funny though how this 7 year old wrote a peom backed up by history and people call her a racist but 2 thirteen year old white girls record CD singing praise of the number “88” a clear representation of hate for those who don’t know 88 = 8th letter in the alphabet = Hail Hitler. Is there not clearly something wrong with that?
Embrac the young lady’s intelligence and ability to articulate Factual knowledge into poetry and stop spewing stupid hate comments in the wrong direction. Thank you Simon you are right we’d both be millionaires with a dime for everytime we hear that, DENIAL is not just a river in Africa Folks.
If my child can’t celebrate Christmas, the birth of God, and any other ‘white’ holiday without being cruicified, then why should this little girl be able to recite her poem infront of children? All I know is if the Africian Americans didn’t like it over here, then why don’t they go back to Africa? I’ll tell you why, becasue they would b*tch when they got over there too!! There’s no food, no electricity, etc and then we would have to help them out again!!!
Where is this mysterious town where white kids are crucified for celebrating Christmas…and what’s the housing market like?
As far as your comments about going-back-to-Africa are concerned, I’ve often thought the government would be wise to forcibly sterilize certain individuals before they can reproduce.
And I’m not talking about any particular race or group of people. I’m only refering to those who have your I.P. address.
Do you watch the news at all??? At Christmas, everwhere I turned white kids can’t celebrate Christmas, now it has to be called Winter Break!!! I am entitled to my opinion just like youare. You may think I am wrong but I hope to GOD you don’t teach or interact with the public that often so they are not misinformed with your negativity!!!
Dearest Dipshit,
Children (and adults) can celebrate Christmas as individuals and families. Please, name one town in America where this isn’t the case, cause I really might wanna move there. Public schools, however, might have a problem with commemorating the birth o’ J.C. because we have a little thing in this country (or at least we’re supposed to) called the seperation of church and state. That’s not a matter of opinion. If you wanna rewrite the law, good fucking luck.
I do everything possible to limit my teaching and interaction with the public, thanks.
best of luck to you and the white race
GC
And the entire public is grateful to you!!!
I will be able to sleep better tonight knowing you are ‘preaching’ your obscure views!
God Bless!!!
My comment is to Your Crazy
I get so tired of white people saying that we should go back to Africa. That is the lame comment White America has been making for years to try to counter attack any information about the the horrific unjustices perpetuated on African Americans since slavery. Tell me would YOU honestly leave a place that was built on almost 400 hundred years of your ancestors free labor. I don’t think white americans ancestor’s labor built America, so if you ask me we have more right to this country than you do. So why don’t you go back to where your ancestors came from because unless you are of Native American decent you have no more claim to America as anyone else.
Why is it when you try to be european they tell you your something to believe in but when your too black too strong you too wrong and a demon.
I praise this little sister and her father for not being shook of telling the truth. White people always tell their so-called truths to our babies. United Front stands beside this sister. I expect these modern day crakas to react like this because they hate when superior knowledge is on the scene and god forbid we tell the truth to our babies. As for you butt dancing negroes you need to stop kissing massa’s ass and start standing up because like brother Kwesi said “the truth rises like a volcano”. You can either rise with it or burn in the heat.
