The term "Spook" in the title is a double reference. It's a racial slur, and a slang term for a spy. For the longest while, the only way you could watch the film was from bootleg VHS copies made from a Canadian print. The DVD available now is taken directly from the master negatives that were discovered in a film vault.

ever heard that speech by malcolm x? are you a house negro or field negro, blacks are not the only people at the bottom, many other minorities are too

My uncle showed this DVD to me back in 2005. He told me that, in the 70's, this movie was in theaters for only 2 days before it disappeared! I believe that it was taken away because it would have influenced young people who were already full of fire & rage over the injustices they were facing. If Black youth became organized & unified, all of the ills that affect the Black community, now, wouldn't exist. If Dan Freeman were a real person, he'd vote for Barack Obama. Don't you think so?

The knowledge encoded within the DNA is amazing and wonderful, but the things that will be done with it are scary and shocking. Getting a few rapists off the street is fine, but it doesn't stop rape. Taking your DNA for purposes of controlling your freedom is WRONG. But it's coming.

That DNA is the Conquerer's signature

DNA proves we are all more than 99 percent identical, and that we are all descendants of the same original humans. The oldest non-mutated dna belongs to the africans that speak with the clicking noises in their language, but guess what? They are neither dark black, nor light skinned. They look like all of us in some ways, they look like a combination of whites, asians, and blacks. We are all slightly different from them, just a bit more different from each other. cue music...YOU ARE MY BROTHER..
