i call a demon to walk with me. anthony: king david is one of the old school street fighter who has kept his form from fading over the years. anthony: as in brazil, the deep south, african slaves were given little to work with when it came time for the meal. more often than not, if they wanted meat, they had to make do with what the slave masters did not want: a tongue here, a cow foot there. here, as elsewhere, they figured out how to make something delicious and tender from whatever there was. like souse, pig foot is pickled with chadon beni, onion and hot pepper, topped off with cucumbers. anthony: this is a martial art, you either win or you lose. rondel: correct. anthony: how do you win? what decides winner? rondel: who draws blood first wins, all it requires is the end result. all you have to do is cut the guy.
when west african slaves would covertly do this, kalinda. rondel: this martial art based on our research is maybe 500/600 years old. keegan: stick fighting variations occur throughout the caribbean but in trinidad and tobago it s like deep in their blood. anthony: this martial art was illegal for many, many years yes? keegan: yeah. anthony: i mean certainly during slavery times it was illegal. rondel: to this date i believe there are still laws on our books that ban this stick and if you re caught with it you can go to jail. anthony: the laws of slavery times forced this sport underground. like capoeira, it often has to be disguised as a dance, but this ain t no dance. rondel: the guys with the whip and the guys with the stick were all the guys saying you have not broken us. we will continue to resist till the ends of time.

him down. you get the idea. we can quarrel with how those factors apply but the general idea that is being judged, both on the performative idea. it is the basic point to put on the table. and i have another pop culture clip that i pulled about the president when he first announced his candidacy back in 2007. this is stephen colbert about whether or not barack obama is black. settle something for me. is barack obama black? no. he s not. in the american political context, black means the son of west african the descendant of west africans brought here to labor in the united states. it is not a putdown. it is not to say he hasn t suffered. it is not to say he doesn t have a glorious lineage of his own. it is to say that he and i who are descended from west african slaves brought to manager, we are not the same.
