Gifted and Black\n\n\n\ n  \n\n\n\n Young\, gifted and black\nOh what a lovely precious dream\nTo be young\, gifted and black\nOpen your heart to what I mean\n\nIn the who le world you know\nThere's a million boys and girls\nWho are young\, gifte d and black\nAnd that's a fact!\n\nYou are young\, gifted and black\nWe mu st begin to tell our young\nThere's a world waiting for you\nYours is the quest that's just begun\n\nWhen you feel really low\nYeah\, there's a grea t truth that you should know\nWhen you're young\, gifted and black\nYour s oul's intact\n\nTo be young\, gifted and black\nOh\, how I've longed to kn ow the truth\n\nThere are times when I look back\nAnd I am haunted by my y outh\n\nOh but my joy of today\nIs that we can all be proud to say\nTo be young\, gifted and black\nIs where it's at\n\nIs where it's at\nIs where i t's at\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Lyrics by Nina Simone + Weldone Irvin e\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n LIVE 1969 - She  introduced the song on August 17\, 1969\, to a crowd of 50\,000 at the Harlem Cultural Festival\, captured on broadcast video tape and released in 2021 as the documentary film Su mmer of Soul.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n I admit I like this song\, lets have anothe r live recording\, Nina Simone was done with the recording industry anyway \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Audio Recording\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Yes\, I can' t listen to be young gifted and black and not shed a tear thinking on blac k people the world over against the various whites\, and one more tear for my own tribe in the village in their naturally dangerous peccadillium/pl ace of sin/U.S.A.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Nina Simone on Malcolm X\n \n Malcolm X to me\, was the most important \, the most important spokesma n we have ever had\, in this country for black people\, bar none\, and eve rything he said i agreed with\, everything he said\, i agreed with\, and I was absolutely... I am still not over the fact that he is gone\, and I re ally would like to say that I think it is black people's fault that he is dead\, just as it is black peoples fault that martin luther king is dead\, they didn't give them any protection\, they ran them away\, they followed them\, but they didn't protect them\, they willing to die but they not wi lling to kill\,  hey man\, I get upset when I think about it\, I get upse t\, and that is one of the reasons I don't live in this country\, cause th ere is no protection\n\n\n\n https://www.tumblr.com/afriblaq/7641522973559 84896\n\n\n\n https://www.tumblr.com/afriblaq/764152297355984896\n\n\n\n\n my thoughts\n\n Can I get an Amen. But Nina Simone's point is huge here. What Nina Simone is really saying is the Black Church\, Historical Black C olleges+ Institutions\, Black elected officials\, Black business owners di dn't protect Black advocates or black artists\, and she is correct. \n\n I love how she said black people ran both Malcolm + martin away which I kn ow from black people who lived in the 1960s is true\, but you never hear f rom black people alive then in media today. The only two groups that hones tly talked of honest protection were the panthers+ nation of islam. but th e nation of islam outside Malcolm's leadership did it only for members. Wh ile the panthers were criminalized by black churches/black elected officia ls/black business owners for their stance on defense. So many black artist + advocates were injured or attacked in the usa and never had any protecti on\, and the black church being the most important black institution had t o be most responsible. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250221 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
