  • Summary

  • n the words of Malcolm X, we dissect Orwell's statement: "Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past." Let's unpack this idea with a keen eye on understanding power dynamics. Consider the past as more than a collection of facts – it's the narrative that molds our perceptions. Those in control determine what's taught, influencing the trajectory of the future. It's a nuanced game, and it's one we can't afford to ignore. Now, who's steering the ship in the present? Those with the authority to shape our reality. They decide what aspects of history are highlighted, downplayed, or omitted. It's a strategic hold on our collective memory. Malcolm X urged us to be discerning, to see through the veils of manipulation. When power manipulates the past, it manufactures a version of truth. It's imperative that we question, delve deeper, and uncover the silenced narratives. The truth may not always be comfortable, but it's our key to liberation. In our urban communities, vigilance is crucial. We mustn't let the present be commandeered by external forces. Stay aware of your surroundings, take control of your narrative. By doing so, we resist the imposition of others dictating our story. Embracing Malcolm's teachings, empower yourself through education. Go beyond mainstream narratives, understand your history – the unfiltered, untold stories. This is how we shatter the chains of mental subjugation. The power lies in the truth, and the truth lies within our grasp. Stay conscious, stay liberated. This is Da Urban Conservative. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chaz-neal8/message
