please ask rev jackson why didn't the movement he was evolking at the 1972 wats concert ever come to be? his speech was so moving in the film, and the conversations in that film still ring so true. why is there no powerful collective voice of the people of color in this country? NOLA brings us the Blues that the british bands of the rolling stones and cream as pire to perfect, yet when mayor nagin states that parliment funkadelic's world would could be a reality, he is admonished. that world was the funky seventies, but the reagan 80's stopped the movement and brought the scourge of guns and crack. now NOLA lower 9th, the home of Fats Domino, may become home to at FAT suburban white people tells me that the collective consciousness will not be realized, WHY?
