"Like straight-up drugs. I'm just addicted to sugar." Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest

Disclaimer:  The image above had to be repurposed given the blatant disconnect that fellow Phife fans have demonstrated with regards to his addiction to sugar in relation to diabetes.  This is by no means a condemnation of the brother’s struggle, the purpose of this post is to raise awareness if anything.

“When’s the last time you heard a funky diabetic?”  -Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest “Oh My God” featured on “Midnight Marauders” released in 1993.

“Diabetes took Phife Dawg at the early age of 45. But the legendary A Tribe Called Quest MC made it clear in life, and lyrics, how deep his love for food ran, and we’d like to celebrate that love — with some ham and eggs, of course.” Dakota Kim

-- what the fuck, Dakota Kim?!

And all over the internet, social media, drawings, and even murals of this very image is being glorified.  Imagine if the brother Phife died from gun violence, you damn sure wouldn’t be posting pictures of him buying bullets!  Check the statistics on the top 10 leading causes of death in the U.S. [overwhelmingly related to diet and lifestyle] and you'll see why we should take this issue seriously. By the way the above image minus the text was originally taken in honor of J.Dilla and his album "Donuts" released just 3 days before his death at the age of 32. I’ve even seen other Phife “celebrations” were Dr. Pepper is the beverage of choice because you guessed it, “Drink a lot of soda so they call me Dr. Pepper.” (Phife)

“Taylor had had health issues for years, undergoing a kidney transplant in 2008 to deal with a longtime battle with diabetes. 'It's really a sickness,' Taylor said in Beats, Rhymes & Life, Michael Rapaport's candid 2011 documentary on the group. 'Like straight-up drugs. I'm just addicted to sugar.'  Rolling Stone

Folks seriously need to recognize the connections between not only Phife’s diet/lifestyle and health but clearly their own!  Start with Supanova Slom’s “The Hip-Hop State of Emergency” and while you’re at it “Sugar Crack” (that deadly donut)!

Facebook censored and blocked me for 72 hours for sharing "Please don't change your profile pictures to the tricolours of a state..." by Lali Mohamed

"please don't change your profile pictures to the tricolours of a state that repeatedly bombs camps in somalia, villages in mali, hospitals in afghanistan and tests their nuclear bombs in the sahara dessert. france names bombs after these colours - gerboise bleue, gerboise blanche, gerboise rouge.

historically, france is considered the fourth largest colonizer in europe ravaging countless africannations. these are same colours that demanded haiti pay them 150 million francs (over 40 billion today) for destroying the plantations of slave owners during the revolution, putting haiti in centuries worth of debt.

today, they are the exporters of the most vile and violent islamophobia despite going into north and east africa. you can feel sad for those who lost their lives in paris without propping up the colours of a nation who has taken so many lives and continues to take so many lives through airstrikes in the global south. this selective outrage is yours. have at it. but know that so many of us are pained by your silence when baghdad is bombed. when falestine is bombed. when beirut is bombed. are these lives also not worth mourning? what is it about the lives of black and brown people that makes it so hard for you to mourn them?

i know the answer, and it hurts, but please, please don't make it worse by waving the white supremacist french flag on my feed."

the above post got me censored and blocked from facebook for 72 hours back in november.  however, brilliant animal whites and their allies were able to cough up some pretty colorful stuff while the post was still active, some of which got reported but facebook isn't concerned about removing or challenging actual hate speech or anything that perpetuate the status quo (i.e. white supremacy, islamophobia):

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself: How Hip-Hop Went Vegan | First We Feast



excerpt:

Facebook censored and blocked me for a week for sharing "An Open Letter to People of Color" by Dakota Bracciale

Dakota Bracciale [author of the following letter]

October 1, 2015 · 

"An Open Letter to People of Color:

Please do not trust white people.

Every single one of us is racist, it's something we were born and raised into, we were and are consistently indoctrinated into white supremacy.
Indifference and apathy towards systemic racism and it's horrific results is not just more comfortable, it is incentivized; we are actively rewarded by white supremacy in it's many forms for ignoring people of color and their cries for injustice.
Our bones are riddled with it, it's everywhere.
We were taught the the history of our nation through textbooks written by white men with a vested interest in how the story was and is being told.
So we think that MLK Jr is the patron saint of polite black folks (to be invoked against the angry ones), peanut butter is the extent of black excellence, and according to the newest textbooks, slaves were just unpaid interns.
We were brought up being given medicine designed for us by white men, men who historically tortured black women and murdered black babies to found gynecology, men who performed surgeries on black people without any anesthesia and no precautions because it was believe that black people can not feel pain.
And you wonder why we do not sympathize when black children are gunned down by police?
Nothing stopped, the framework of systemic racism just keeps getting dressed differently, yesterday's fire hoses and attack dogs are today's cultural appropriation, tone policing and respectability politics.
We are the ones who committed genocide, stole this land, and now, generations later, think it's cool to dress up like the folks we massacred.
We're the ones making fun of people who can't speak "perfect" English, we're the ones who've come up with every single racial slur used in this country.
We're so much more concerned about you questioning us, telling us no or calling us out than we are what you're actually experiencing at our hands.
We will spent countless hours just poking at you, trolling you just to prove you're this less intellectual, overly emotional animal, to get you to fail a standard we set for you without ever clueing you in on it.
We are the ones who built this country on the blood, the bodies and the backs of people of color and then built Mt Rushmore, statues, monuments to white men.
We rigged the economy, the government and the schools, created the ghettos, set you up for failure and then we blame you for your not pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
We are still making you defend yourselves, over and over ad infinitum. We make you defend your personhood, your autonomy, your agency, your decency, your humanity because when you keep minorities on the defensive, when you keep them explaining who they are and justifying their right to life - nothing real ever gets done.
Even though I'm queer, even though I'm trans, I still get to sit in the "Whites Only" section and I have heard what gets said and I'm begging you, please don't trust us."

my two cents, which will likely be modified because i'm exhausted but i just wanted to start to get the word out while it's still fresh.  i think for now i'm just going to share the screen capture from facebook so you can see for yourself and i'll fill in the blanks shortly...

*what the hell kind of sense does that make?!  facebook offered me the option to "temporarily" unpublish the vegan hip hop movement so as to remove the "troubled" content that they already fucking removed?  nice try, facebook but fuck you!
