Greetings everyone!
This has been bothering me for some time now, The Mandela Effect. I was reading jim stone yesterday, and he's gone off about it for years now, and I've mentally disputed all of the things he felt have been changed. However, yesterday I started thinking to myself; I'm an actual being filled with, what I am told continuously by people, "useless information," that I've been stockpiling in my brain since my inception, and I do not remember EVER hearing about Nelson Mandela dying in prison. What I DO remember is Peter Gabriel's song, BIKO about the late, freedom fighter, Steve Biko which came out mid 1980's. NOW, I have a child named Biko, after Steve Biko (God rest his soul), THEREFORE I CAN PROMISE YOU, FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS, BLACK, WHITE, BROWN, RED, DEMOCRAP, REPUBLICAN, NOTHING -HAVE NEVER HEARD OF STEVEN BIKO. Not only that, but they don't even remember the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll tell you what else I REMEMBER, nelson mandela coming to the UN in Manhattan around 1989 because I WENT. It reignited the love of Africa in the "mainstream" hip-hop/rap community. Remember the Africa medallions? Or was that only a NYC thing.
I'm going to say it again; I really believe that most people confused hearing about Steve Biko being murdered in prison, when peter gabriel's song came out and instead related it to Nelson Mandela, being as HE WAS THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT BLACK AFRICAN the majority know- still!
Ok I can breathe now. That really riled me up.
