"Liberation is Hetero"

by guest Tuesday, Jun. 22, 2004 at 2:42 AM

Total Liberation Tour = Total Bullshit Tour

This upcoming Total Liberation Tour is a total sham. On the surface, it appears to be positive. But the organizers haven't done a good job of keeping their fundamentalism secret.

While proclaiming to be in search of liberation for all life, its become apparent that liberation is reserved solely for heterosexuals. If you'll visit the militant Islamic group that some of the organizers are involved in (www.taliyah.org), you'll see that they use nature as grounds for a case against homosexuality (http://taliyah.org/articles/case.shtml).

These homophobic resentments are echoed in the forum on the Total Liberation website (www.total-liberation.com).

Furthermore, the predominantly hardcore music lineup reflects this type of tough-guy hardline rhetoric. Anti-abortion activists are common in the straight edge vegan hardcore scene.

This whole fucking thing is a total waste of time for those of who seek REAL liberation and freedom for us all. This tour will use a disguise of anarchism to promote itself, BUT THERE IS NOTHING ANARCHIST ABOUT HETEROSEXISM!

The organizers of the tour are beginning to insist that Tali'yah is unrelated to the Total Liberation Tour.

If this show is not canceled, then I expect everyone who goes to openly challenge the homophobic bullshit behind this morally pure and fundamentalist front.

In the Spirit of Wild Anarchy, Freedom and Solidarity for ALL Life!

looks like you're right

Calling All Anti-Homophobes!, Protest MTV

Calling All Anti-Homophobes!, Protest MTV

Yes, i know you may have heard that MTV is making the first all gay network... But that's beside the point really. They have Xzibit hosting "Pimp My Ride!" They even featured him on Cribs!

Xzibit has notoriously anti-homosexual lyrics such as:

"Bitching so much

you should tuck your nuts

and dick between your thighs

and color your eyes

and wax your legs

and buy some bras and thongs

and go crazy in the night club for Sisco song."

As well he says the word "fag" repeatedly.

How could MTV dare allow him to host a show? Yeah i know, he never even is talking about such issues in the shows he's on. But still, we are the PC thought police right? We have to take a stand and make sure that nobody who thinks things we disagree with be allowed to do anything.

Oh, unless they're black of course. Perhaps that's why rap groups had been saying "Fag" for years and no homosexual advocacy groups protested them UNTIL Eminem came along. THEN everyone was lining up to say how he needed to cut it out, become more enlightened and give Elton John a hug.

Still black hip hop artists continue to talk the same way without ANY voice of disapproval being raised by the PC elitists.

i wonder why that would be? After all, aren't these the same predominantly white middle class lot who claim to be so anti-racist?

Whatever the reason is for the contradiction, it doesn't stop there. Back when Hardline came to the hardcore scene it held the exact same beliefs regarding opposition to homosexuality and abortion as did groups like MOVE and Rastafarians. But did MOVE or Rastafarians gain the disapproval of the PC, white elite? Of course not. Black people weren't expected by them to be "enlightened," they were not held to the same standards as was the multi-ethnic (but non-black) founder of Hardline.

Now, white elitist PC kids want to cry that there is someone speaking at the Total Liberation Fest who doesn't agree with homosexuality (besides Ramona Africa). It isn't that such a person (me, that is) advocates violence against homosexuals, nor any sort of action whatsoever. Rather, his (my), religious beliefs - like the religious beliefs of almost the entire world - are opposed to it. As well, this is based on 8,000 years of Chinese Medical tradition, and Yin and Yang theories of coupling.

It isn't a "God hates fags" philosophy, it is an ancient way of life that seeks to harmonize the Yin with the Yang. Men are Yang, women are Yin. There is simply no harmony in two Yangs nor in two Yins. Thus, we oppose such unbalanced coupling (as does most of the world).

But i'm not black, i'm a mix of a number of backgrounds, Jewish, Cherokee, Melungeon, German... All of these can be held to scrutiny in the eyes of the PC white elitists (the same who called the Democratic Party "The White Man's Party" in the 19th Century).

Perhaps if we had African members of our group speaking, even my wife, then we would be off the hook for believing differently than you; just like Tupac, just like Xzibit, and most of hip hop, along with MOVE and Rastafarians...
