I can’t believe I’m seeing this. This is the most racist video I’m seeing about the Philippines. I’m from CONGO, this is not our culture. You guys are being racist and disrespectful to my culture, you have no idea what Congo traditions are, what are you doing this? #racism
The Congo By Vachel Lindsay A Study of the Negro Race FAT black bucks in a wine-barrel room, Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable, Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table, A deep rolling bass Pounded on the table, Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom, Hard as they were able, Boom, boom, BOOM, With a silk umbrella and the handle of a broom, Boomlay, boomlay, boomlay, BOOM. THEN I had religion, THEN I had a vision. I could not turn from their revel in derision. THEN I SAW THE CONGO, CREEPING THROUGH THE BLACK, More deliberate. Solemnly chanted CUTTING THROUGH THE JUNGLE WITH A GOLDEN TRACK. Then along that riverbank A thousand miles Tattooed cannibals danced in files; Then I heard the boom of the blood-lust song And a thigh-bone beating on a tin-pan gong. And “BLOOD!” screamed the whistles and the fifes of the warriors, A rapidly piling climax of speed and racket “BLOOD!” screamed the skull-faced, lean witch-doctors; “Whirl ye the deadly voo-doo rattle, Harry the uplands, Steal all the cattle, Rattle-rattle, rattle-rattle, Bing! Boomlay, boomlay, boomlay, BOOM!” A roaring, epic, rag-time tune With a philosophic pause From the mouth of the Congo To the Mountains of the Moon. Death is an Elephant, Torch-eyed and horrible, Shrilly and with a heavily accented metre Foam-flanked and terrible. BOOM, steal the pygmies, BOOM, kill the Arabs, BOOM, kill the white men, HOO, HOO, HOO. Listen to the yell of Leopold’s ghost Like the wind in the chimney Burning in Hell for his hand-maimed host. Hear how the demons chuckle and yell Cutting his hands off, down in Hell. Listen to the creepy proclamation, Blown through the lairs of the forest-nation, Blown past the white-ants’ hill of clay, Blown past the marsh where the butterflies play:- “Be careful what you do, All the O sounds very golden. Heavy accents very heavy. Light accents very light. Last line whispered Or Mumbo-Jumbo, God of the Congo, And all of the other Gods of the Congo, Mumbo-Jumbo will hoo-doo you, Mumbo-Jumbo will hoo-doo you, Mumbo-Jumbo will hoo-doo you.”
How tf do you laugh like a witch 😭
These people obviously did not understand Vachel Lindsay's poem. And they also performed it horribly. What a shame! This is terribly racist.
How does the poem works? Can you explain?
Nice

Spray paint po ito, pero kung kulang ang budget mo crayola na lang.
