Negro Science = a state of mind


FOR CONSIDERATION: "Black man and black woman shouldn't have to wait till death to find freedom in this world." posed by Lioness Daiba Sala



No.

What is bound on earth is bound above. What is released below is mirrored above. That being said is freedom of spirit guaranteed on the other side if one's spirit is not free in this plane? Now, I say that in the context of the North American continent. Let me be specific and clear, and further I hear Blacks here say, "Black People can only expect to pay taxes and die." or "The white man's foot is always on my neck. I can't get anywhere..." The same meaning different ways of saying, "The Black man and Black woman shouldn't have to wait 'til death to find freedom in this world!"

In light of all the freedoms won, and exercised in this country are we really talking about a way of looking at present circumstances with the eyes and perceptions of the grandchildren of ex-slaves? I look around and see the counter to this gloomy outlook in the Black community on a daily basis in or outside of the ghettos. Is freedom being discussed as a slave, as one who hasn't learned to think and direct things his/her way, or are we giving excessive attention to people deeply invested in defeat who are unskilled negotiating with power as a powerful person? - Gregory E.

The world according to Paris Hilton  is what many of us ascribe to whether we admit it or not her lifestyle is enviable and imitated daily in our communities. 




These pictorials of adorable Ukrainian Olga Ogneva by Viktor Krasnov is enough to make a snowman blush. See it in our December issue:   www.playboy.co.za/subscribe/ 



After all founder, Hugh Hefner has done for the advancement of progressive ideas in his time in the arena of racial equality and women's rights is it still preferable for the magazine to under employ Black South African models as the major draw? Or has the populations in industrial nations fixated on the notion that white European beauty is the template for the business of fashion and the only sure way to sell product? - Gregory E.
