- rubashov 15y agoThis pretty well captures Gil Scott Heron's attitude toward technologists. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtBy_ppG4hY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtBy_ppG4hY Heron hates white people.
- erikpukinskis 15y agoNothing in that piece suggests to me that he hates white people. He hates the fact that rich people use their power to get the government to spend all it's money on "rich people problems", like landing people on the moon, while letting the poor fend for themselves. I think technology can be used for good and for masturbation.
