“The white youth of today have begun to react to the fact that the American Way of Life is a fossil of history. What do they care if their old baldheaded and crew-cut elders don't dig their caveman mops? They couldn't care less about the old, stiff-assed honkies who don't like their new dances: Frog, Monkey, Jerk, Swim, Watusi. All they know is that it feels good to swing to way-out body-rhythms instead of dragging across the dance floor like zombies to the dead beat of mind-smothered Mickey Mouse music.” IfsKnowsWayLifeFeelsMindFactsBodyCareTodayLife IsWhiteCuttingYouthBeatsFeel GoodRhythmSwimSwingsCrewMiceMonkeysFossilsZombieEldersFrogsJerkMickeyDance FloorAmerican Way Of LifeYouth Of Today Book:SOUL ON ICE Source: SOUL ON ICE

His motivation is often of such a bloody, hateful, bitter, and malignant nature that whites would really be hard pressed to find it flattering.” KnowsMenIdeasHardDreamDesireMotivationGirlBlackWhiteAttitudeSickHarmonyMalesAttractionLustBitterRevolutionarySicknessBloodyHatefulFlatteringDream Girl Book:Target Zero: A Life in Writing Source: Target Zero: A Life in Writing

“Every time I embrace a black woman I’m embracing slavery, and when I put my arms around a white woman, well, I’m hugging freedom. The white man forbade me to have the white woman on pain of death...
