I love love love Staceyann Chin

17 07 2008

Listen to her. You will see that her passionate and honest words have everything to do with my first post and discussion in the comments.

“…A revolution once pregnant with expectation flounders,
Apathetic and individualistic, no one knows where to vote
Or what to vote for anymore,
The faces that now represent us,
have now begun to look like the ones who used to burn crosses,
and beat bulldaggers
and fuck faggots up the ass with loaded guns…”

Thanks for the inspiration ekitty ;)

“It is now commonplace to hear young activists say, I can’t explain why but the term lesbian comes across as confrontational, why can’t you just say you date people’

Brilliant, brilliant, thank you Lara

Sorry I took so long to say Hi…Hi (been very busy)

I love this poem/reading by Staceyann Chin. I also love the succinct way that she demonstrates “all oppressions are linked”

“The faces that now represent us,

Sounds a lot like the message in my last doodle/post.

Thanks for brilliant and powerful poem. In my old computer, sound was broken, so I am very late at hearing.
I find so hard hard that so many will refuse the connections that keep most people oppressed.
