Sister Souljah on Larry King Live Part 1, Part 2 (1992)
Rap artist, activist and author Sister Souljah addressing the controversy that arose after remarks she made following the 1992 LA Riots. Sister Souljah was quoted as saying: ”If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?” As a result Bill Clinton infamously compared Sister Souljah to white supremacist and Klu Klux Klan member David Dukes. In this interview Sister Souljah puts her comments into context while providing a sharp social analysis of White supremacy, racism and capitalism in America and their toxic impact on the socio-economic infrastructure of American society. She also explains why she proudly identifies as an African and why she chose to express herself through Hip-Hop music. The Guardian later described Sister Souljah’s comments as a key event in the history of Hip-Hop.
much respect for this woman. her autobiography (No Disrespect) is a must-read for WOC, particularly AA women.
POWER! THIS IS A MUST WATCH!!!! PLEASE PLEASE TRUST ME ON THIS. ONE OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS IN BLACK HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE READ HIM LIKE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. LIKE THE UPANISHADS. LIKE THE ICHING. LIKE MEDU NTR. LIKE THE DOGON SYMBOLS. LIKE THE BOOK OF COMING FORTH BY DAY.
NO EXAGGERATION.
This is relevant to everyone’s lives. There is nothing new under sun and we still combat these forces daily.
She read him and those callers like Dick and Jane. You could tell Larry thought she was just some ignorant ghetto bitch mouthing pseudo-nationalistic drivel she’d heard around. And you see how he acted in Part 2 when he realized he’d better change da fuck up. But Larry still got hella sonned on his own damn show.
This is truth
