Manifestos! 

À semelhança do Forum Social Mundial que decorre sempre em Porto Alegre (Brasil), realizar-se-à pela 3ª vez consecutiva, o Forum Social Europeu, entre 15 e 17 de Outubro deste ano, em Londres. Para activistas (pertencentes a movimentos sociais de várias índoles, anti-racistas, anti-imperialistas, associações locais, excluídos, comunidades de emigrantes, etc) este é um momento importante para trocar ideias e estratégias de actuação que visam o combate às injustiças de que nos queixamos diariamente. Cliquem se quiserem consultar a newsletter

Deixo-vos com um "Manifesto" de um grande rapper consciente (ou se preferirem, um raptivista)- Talib Kweli -que propõe um programa de dez items ("just like the Black Panthers") cheio de palavras fortes e seguras dirigidas àqueles que ambicionam ser rappers.

"One: First respect yourself as an artist If you don't respect yourself then your rhymes is garbage
Two: Make sure your crew is as tight as you cause when them niggaz fallin off they gonna bring you down too
Three: Understand the meaning of MC the power to Move the Crowd like Moses split the seas
Four: Know your shit and don't ever be blunted If you don't know what your words mean then your rhymes mean nothing
Five: Kick facts in the raps, and curse with clarity what's a curse when language is immersed in vulgarity
Six: We gonna fix industrial poli-tricks shit they made an artform out of ridin dicks
Seven: We soldiers for God needin new recruits so if you rhymin for the loot then youse a prostitute but
Eight: Acknowledge that you need food on your plate in order to say your grace make sure your business is straight

Nine: We buildin black minds with intelligence and when you freestyle, keep the subject matter relevant
Ten: Every MC grab a pen and write some concious lyrics to tell the children
I'll say it again, every MC find you a pen and drop some concious shit for our children!"

Obrigada T.Kweli!

Bom fim de semana!
