Excerpt from "The ballot or the bullet" by Malcolm X
From
http://americanradioworks.publicradio. org/features/blackspeech/mx. ht
m/
Mr. Moderator, Rev. Cleage, brothers and sisters and friends, and I see some
enemies. [laughter, applause] In fact, I think we'd be fooling ourselves if we had
an audience this large and didn't realize that there were some enemies present.
This afternoon we want to talk about the ballot or the bullet. The ballot or
the bullet explains itself. But before we get into it, since this is the year of the
ballot or the bullet, I would like to clarify some things that refer to me personally,
concerning my own personal position.
I'm still a Muslim. That is, my religion is still Islam. [applause] [... ] At
present I am the minister of the newly founded Muslim Mosque Incorporated
[... ]. And when we realize that Adam Clayton Powell, is a Christian minister, he
has Abyssinian Baptist Church, but at the same time he's more famous for his
political struggling. And Dr. King is a Christian minister from Atlanta Georgia, or
in Atlanta Georgia, but he's become more famous for being involved in the civil
rights struggle. There's another in New York, Rev. Galamison, I don't know if
you've heard of him out here, he's a Christian minister from Brooklyn, but has
become famous for his fight against the segregated school system in Brooklyn.
Rev. Cleage, right here, is a Christian minister, here in Detroit, he's head of the
Freedom Now Party. All of these are Christian ministers [applause] ... all of
these are Christian ministers but they don't come to us as Christian ministers,
they come to us as fighters in some other category.
I am a Muslim minister. The same as they are Christian ministers, I'm a
Muslim minister. And I don't believe in fighting today on any one front, but on all
fronts. [applause] In fact, I'm a Black Nationalist freedom fighter. [applause]
Islam is my religion but I believe my religion is my personal business. [applause]
lt governs my personal life, my personal morals. And my religious philosophy is
personal between me and the God in whom I believe, just as the religious
philosophy of these others is between them and the God in whom they believe.
And this is best this way. Were we to come out here discussing religion, we'd
have too many differences from the out start and we could never get together.
So today, though Islam is my religious philosophy, my political, economic and
social philosophy is black nationalism. You and I- [applause] As I say, [... ] if we
keep our religion at home, keep our religion in the closet, keep our religion
between ourselves and our God, but when we come out here we have a fight
that's common to all of us against a enemy who is common to all of us.
[applause]
The political philosophy of black nationalism only means that the black
man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community. The
time when white people can come in our community and get us to vote for them
so that they can be our political leaders and tell us what to do and what not to
do is long gone. [applause]
We must, we must understand the politics of our community and we must
know what politics is supposed to produce. We must know what part politics
play in our lives. And until we become politically mature, we will always be
misled, led astray, or deceived or maneuvered into supporting someone
politically who doesn't have the good of our community at heart. So the political
philosophy of black nationalism only means that we will have to carry on a
program, a political program, of reeducation -to open our people's eyes, make
us become more politically conscious, politically mature. And then, we will whenever we are ready to cast our ballot, that ballot will be cast for a man of the
community, who has the good of the community at heart. [applause]

Kelly Clarkson gave her daughter Nutella, and now the internet is
accusing her of 'child abuse'
Christopher Rosa
Apr 13th 2017 4:37PM
In today's bizarre mommy-shaming news, social media trolls are accusing Kelly
Clarkson of "child abuse" because she gave her daughter Nutella. Yup.
The Piece by Piece singer posted an lnstagram video earlier this week of her
two-year-old daughter, River, trying the hazelnut-chocolate spread for the first
time, and it's adorable. it's also, if you're a mom, familiar: The toddler digs into a
Nutella-smeared piece of bread, and her face bears the evidence.
Apparently, though, some lnsta users took offense to Clarkson's post, and it
didn't take long for the nutrition police to slide into the comments section and
scold the pop star for giving her daughter the treat. "Stop eating Nutella," one
commenter said, according to Good Housekeeping. "it's been confirmed to give
cancer."
"Nutella is hella bad for you," another user quipped.
"Nutella is PACKED with sugars. Don't make your kids blow up," wrote a third
troll. (Keep in mind that these people are talking about a two-year-old child.)
But the most biting comment came from a user who said Clarkson giving River
Nutella was a form of "child abuse." "Giving food like this to a child is child
abuse," he or she wrote, GH reports.
Simmer down. We're talking about a child eating Nutella one time. it's not like
she's giving her kid candy for every meal. Plus, the fact Clarkson even posted
the video is proof she probably views foods like Nutella as special, sporadic
treats.
And Good Housekeeping Institute nutrition director Jaclyn London (R.D.)
defends eating treats. "Enjoying indulgent foods together with family can be a
part of a healthy diet and long-term relationship with food," she told GH.

Why the green great dragon can't exist
Tr1e former US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, famously warned tt1at in
any situation there can be known knowns and unknown unknowns, the latter
being the most potentially dangerous as they are "things that we don't know we
don't know".
(1) But missing from his !ist were the unknown knowns, the things we
know, but don't realise that we do.
The power of such knowledge- things we perhaps can't recall ever learning, but
use all the time without thinking - has been illustrated by, of all things, the
popularity of a tweet about the correct order in which to use adjectives.
Tr1e tweet by Matthew Anderson, the editor of BBC Culture, contained a
screengrab from a 2013 book "The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the
Perfect English Phrase", and has been retweeted many thousands of times.
(2) The order of adjectives, according to the book's author Mark Forsyth,
has to be:
opinion~sizeMage~shapeMcolour~orig!n~materiaH;Jurpose.
{3) "If you mess with that word order in the s!ightest you'll sound like a
maniac, he wams in the extract "it's an odd thing that every English speaker
uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. (4} And as size comes
before colour, green great dragons can't exist"
(5) Along with the screengrab of this advice, Matt posted the comrnent:
"Things native English speakers know, but don't know we know,"
{6) Try it for yourself. Here's mine: a lovely thick black coat lt can't be a "black
thick lovely coat".

lt is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good
fortune must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of
such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well
fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the
rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.
Mr Bennet's wife: My dear Mr. Bennet, said his lady to him one day, have you
heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?
Mr. Bennet: No, I have not.
Mr Ben net's wife: But it is, for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all
about it.
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
Mr Ben net's wife: Do not you want to know who has taken it? (impatiently).
Mr. Ben net: You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.
Wife: Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by
a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on
Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it
that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before
Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next
week.
Mr. Bennet: What is his name?
Wife: Bingley.
Mr. Ben net: Is he married or single?
Wife: Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five
thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!
Mr Bennet: How so? How can it affect them?
Wife: My dear Mr. Bennet, how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I
am thinking of his marrying one of them."
Mr. Bennet: Is that his design in settling here?
Wife: Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may
fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he
comes.
Mr. Bennet: I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may
send them by themselves,which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as
handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.

Learning to Sail
The day I first sailed on my own was unforgettable. Before we took off that
morning, I was nervous to the extreme. My thoughts swung from 'I can do
everything!' to 'Why on Earth I decided I should do it?' However, the
moment had come, and all the stress went away. After all, this is what the
ocean does. lt takes all your worries and fears away. lt gives you freedom
from whoever you are onshore and reveals your new venturous self. I felt
the rush of excitement I had never experienced in a lifetime. I was
accompanied by the instructor, of course, but I was entirely responsible
for every maneuver. I did make a couple of trivial mistakes, but I still was
very proud of myself and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Peculiarly enough, something that started as a mere fancy has
turned out to be the biggest passion in my life. If I had an opportunity to
go back to that summer, I would do the same thing over and over again.
Today, I am a certified sailing enthusiast, and I am looking forward to
becoming an instructor myself next year.
