Stop putting my country in the Middle East. We are not fucking Arabs or Middle Easterns. It is an insult to call us Arab, as if to imply we don’t have our own culture. Our culture and history have NOTHING to do with Arabs or Middle Easterns. We have our own cultures,…
the ‘Middle East’ is, in name alone, is the epitomy of Western hegemony.

The work of NYC based Haitian-American artist Gregory Saint Amand (Gogo).
“My art is about juxtapositions of cultures, and the language that exist in that space. I paint with layers to express transitions in time and messages left behind.”
His art is great. Love the use of vibrant colors, women of color, and pop culture.
I enjoy this artist’s work, and repost with the hope that you will as well.
“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters over darker people in the world. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.” - 1967
