Funnier, rapper Ludacris is recently doing things to try and help Blacks fill out the Census form. He's also working to help young women become focused on finding career paths and avoid the pitfalls of bad relationships. (Maybe having a daughter is ameliorating some of his more sexist stuff). At any rate, when describing the things he's doing to help empower Blacks, Luda said to Tom Joyner "Well, you know what they say: 'with great power comes great responsibility'. I'm using my power to give back to the community".
Wu Tang couldn't have said it any better! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelwyn" <ravena...@yahoo.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 11:17:02 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] With Great power comes great responsibility Imagine my surprise while watching "Teen Wolf" (1985) for the first time at 5:30 am this morning (don't ask) when Michael J. Fox's father (played by Burt Reynolds' favorite wingman James Hampton) imparts this sage bit of wisdom: "With great power comes great responsibility." Say what? The most popular source of this quote is from Ben Parker, Peter Parker's uncle who raised him. These are of course fictional characters and the writing would be that of Stan Lee. However the phrase is of much more antiquated origins and quotes similar to it can be found all the way back to ancient Greece. One such would be Socrates 'rule worthy of might.'
