4. I believe this is the poem
White Nationalism Put U In Bondage

White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirate and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
Drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel, tricks and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look in our streets
The mis-education of she and Hegro -- leaves you on your knee2grow
Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse
They took the gold, the wisdom and all of the storytellers
They took the black women, with the black man weak
Made to watch as they changed the paradigm
Of our village
They killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went
So far as to kill the unborn baby
Yeah White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
They drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel laden feet, throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look at our streets.

8. That's very mature for a young girl her age.
Morgan who? Justine Morgan?

9. My first thought was Henry Morgan, given the pirate mention
I'm not quite sure how Darwin fits in, though.

12. the blog evolgen
says it's in reference to Thomas Hunt Morgan, the geneticist. He was the first person to win a nobel prize for genetics. Why this girl has something against (Maybe) him and Darwin, i have no fucking idea :shrug:

3. Autumn is an amazing little girl
and courageous for saying what she did. She did need to tell the white kids they hadn't been the problem, so the poem wasn't for them. She just left out half the statement, and that's what caused the big ruckus.

I'm with Spitzer on this one. You need to know the context of her statement to make sense of this story, and it does make perfect sense.

Thin skinned idiots are taking it out of context and blowing it out of proportion, as usual.

6. thanks,
Interestingly, i checked the westchester papers where she gave the speech and they have squat on it, but the freeper blogs are going nuts oh well, i guess a 7 year old with an opinion scares them.

7. Let's be clear--
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 08:07 PM by bliss_eternal
A seven year old, child of color, African American (to be specific), with an opinion scares them. ;)

A few decades ago, a black child was only seen as a play thing and companion to wealthy white children. A black little girl with a mind of her own, and the passion to share her convictions probably scares the shit out of them.

:rofl:

11. Darwin? "kill the unborn baby"?
She doesn't sound terribly progressive to me.

13. yeah
Edited on Fri Mar-17-06 04:14 AM by realisticphish
the anti-darwin and anti-genetics stuff (see my above post) has me confused. It probably has to do with the Darwin=racism fallacy.

and am I the only one who's wondering where a 6 year old got this vocabulary? Now, I won't make any commentary on the content other than what I've said already, but I find it hard to believe that a girl this young came up with that without help. Maybe she did, i dunno, i'm just saying it seems suspect
