No disrespect to his family is what I meant and what I said.
You, on the other hand, place your own personal feelings onto everything and everyone.
You said he was better off dead.
You say that about everybody.
Don’t try and turn that shit around on me, fool.
Okay, to recap:
RZA, who is ODB's cousin and thus family (and who knew him far better than you do) said that he was a scientist and prophet.
You say that because ODB took medications he must have known he had a mental illness (which you assumed to be schizophrenia) which implies in this world that there was something wrong with him, that he was "crazy" and not actually being persecuted by outside forces as he claimed, so you dismiss RZA, assuming he only said ODB was a prophet because it sounded "jazzier" (i.e. cooler).
The FBI has a long history of persecuting African Americans and other people of color who threaten the status quo like the Black Panthers and countless others. The FOIA release of ODB's FBI file shows that he really was being followed by the FBI and not just being paranoid and schizophrenic.
So like I said, just fucking shut up and stop diagnosing people you don't know with mental illness. You're probably more mentally ill than ODB was. After all, as Krishnamurti said, "It's no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." And this society is so far beyond sick.
And again, adding "no disrespect" to something you've said or done that's already obviously disrespectful doesn't mean shit. It's always a gutless copout (unless you're fully aware of that and saying it as part of a sarcastic joke).
And no, it's not just my feelings, it's the sad objective truth that good honest people are better off gone from this pathetic world full of sadistic assholes and gutless hypocrites who make people suffer for not going along with them. And you're wrong, I don't say it about people I can't stand who'll finally get what they deserve after they've wasted their lives being gutless and stupid here. I have absolute faith in the workings of God and the greater universe. It's not at all a religious faith but it is spiritual, and go ahead and call me a fool for it. What goes around will come around, and then some...
