We´re on their playground.
This world and society needs people to speak up for the poor and the struggling ones. Ever since Miguel de Cervantes wrote Don Quijote (and before that) the world has seen many truthsayers of that kind. People who has analyzed the injustices of the world. One of the major problem of poverty is the lack of education. Therefore it is always hard to get a balanced and good view of american innercity poverty and the european suburbian equalence. Luckily we have today the emcees. The rhymers, who from the melting pot reports and spread the truth about the failures of the neo-liberal system.
When the riots in Paris took place last year, politicians (Sarkozy) and journalists was quick to look for scapegoats. They started to point fingers at the most obvious representatives for the "cités" from where the rioters mainly where from. The rappers where blamed. It was said that their messages provoced other youngsters to burn cars and scream "Nique la Police". This is as far from the truth as can be.
Who do you turn to when you want to debate an issue? Do you talk to people who are ready to use violence at any instance? Or do you talk to the once who calmly but anoyd discusses the issue with words?
But politicians never have arguments. They rather put the blame on people than to have a resonable and fare dialogue. They are scared. They don´t have any facts to back up their oppinions with. So the debate with the rappers who has on the location facts and analyzes would be a catastrophe for them.
And in the case they send someone to talk to people, they send a demagog. A person who promises "guld och gröna skogar" and joke away the situation. When he leaves, nuthing is left but frustration over not having completed anything and being fooled like a clown.
Another issue is that of the channels where emcees are exposed. Hiphop is music and music is mainly brodcasted on selected stations on tv where all music flurish. People who has important messages gets crammed in with people who sings about....bublegum?!?! It´s ridicolous that a group such as swedish Latin Kings should get played alongside Carola or who ever the fuck. That is not how you take modernday social issues serious.
There is no forum for serious and intiligent people who aren´t politicians today. You have to be a partymember to get your ooppinions heard in a somewhat serious context. But even then it is on the monitary and political playground. The morningshows for example. One day they had a debate about the riots in Denmark. They had invited a policeofficer and a guy from some leftist organization. It was pretty good since the guy was really speaking his mind about the disgrace that was going on in Copenhagen. But what was the use since the following segment of the show was a fucking chef making salmon with potatoesalad and the next was a handballplayer.... Give me break.
Now, this is the forum where I think the future will be at hand for the inteligent youths. Thats right, the MATRIX! Lets spread our views of the world on the internet and then take that wisdom and turn it into our own benefit. We can share our views wherever we are but we have to studdy the facts as if they where history. Localize the problems and find solutions for them. Otro mundo es posible, un viritual de por si!
