I love the word ‘Dashiki’! It has power, kinda like Shakka Zulu; which all brings me back to the black power era.It also reminds me of Oromigna as well as a little bit of hip hop, we can put it all together.
Akam Jirta Jirta, I am coming at you with my Dashiki’s, & kick your mozerfukin ass with my Dula! Black Power Baaby!
Oh shucks! Maybe that’s why black people are seen as threatening; our words are so in your face. Aydel?
Seriously though I am thinking about buying a Dashiki , I am thinking it might inspire me to learn more about the West African culture. My sister spent a whole year in Senegal a few years back, and lets just say her taste in music had greatly expanded by the time she returned; not to underestimate her palate.

Update: Bumping fist with Michelle
Now I really dig the idea of a bumping fist with the president.
Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals.
The end of Barack Obama speech I just heard. Continue reading ‘This was the Moment’

This is the image of earth at night, via Google’s Earth’s Earth light. You can take a closer look at the whole world here.
Africa is very dark. No lights if you take a look at this image. Europe, and US are very bright. Japan is the brightest. India and east China are coming on up.
But as a continent Africa is the darkest. There are a few areas though; edges of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco seem bright. It also looks like the cities in Egypt are situated by the nile river, or for some reason they have many lights there. Continue reading ‘Africa Still Dark!’
