Malcolm was free. No one who knew him before and after his trip to Mecca could doubt that he had completely abandoned his shock-effect statements, his bristling agitation for immediate freedom in this country not only for blacks, but for everybody.
I knew the man personally, and however much I disagreed with him, I never doubted that Malcolm X, even when he was wrong, was always that rarest thing in the world among us Negroes: a true man.
And if, to protect my relations with the many good white folks who make it possible for me to earn a fairly good living in the entertainment industry, I was too chicken, too cautious, to admit that fact when he was alive, I thought at least that now, when all the white folks are safe from him at least, I could be honest with myself enough to life my hat for one final salute to that brave, black, ironic gallantry, which was his style and hallmark, that shocking zing of fire-and-be-damned-to-you, so absolutely absent in every other Negro man I know, which brought him, too soon, to his death.

Shaq and I agreed this was a childhood favorite. When he told me it was coming out as a movie, I stopped and my eyes got wide and dark. Watch the trailer and, like me, you might just die/cry as well.

This is the hot summer song for 2009 (at least as far as I’m concerned).

Hillary Clinton gives Russian diplomat “peregruzka” button to symbolize resetting Russo-Americana relations. Learns quickly just how bad her Russian is.
But he said the word the Americans chose, “peregruzka”, meant “overloaded” or “overcharged”, rather than “reset”.
Also, just where does Hill plan to reset these relations to? 1995? 1989? Yalta?

I finally realized the possibilities for entertainment on twitter (lisa_june, btw). Namely, being entertained by personalities and the 140-character synapses that flit through their brains. Case is point, this guy just started following me. Words fail. First of all, he quotes himself. And he uses the words power and nugget as if placed next to each other they meld to create a meaning new and significant. I think he might be a cyborg.
