Quote from: "Psianide"
A rap provides a safe place to resolve differences, and take care of your feelings - in theory at least.

In practice raps were the triweelky reeducation that kept the community afraid, submissive and assimilated. Raps were a power dynamic wherin the authorities would reestablish and retain thier dominance by verbally thrashing those who could be deemed weak, defiant or abnormal.

There was a councillor at NWA by the name of Lori Rist, who often liked to talk about how "you don't have to watch your back here" because NWA is safe. The contrasts she would draw between our former lives and the program were highly ironic, because watching our backs was exactly what all of us did all the time. There was an established forum there where any level of verbal agression was allowed - primate dominance displays without the brown spots on the walls.



"For the staff the ends justified the means when it came to breaking kids down and enforcing the desired emotional release: Anything verbal was ok {the indicted is not weak, people are not weak} and the ends justified the means".

also I just wanted somewhere to paste this from an earlier thread. I think it was written a few years ago:

The first people that I talked to about RMA went to CEDU. I couldn't have known them. And that was just the way I wanted it. Then about a year later i started to kind of look for old friends, Keep tabs on them and contact a handful of staff. They didn't want to return my calls. Then I started posting my book and a few older and little brothers and sisters came and a handful of new friends from the forum. It's been instrumental for me to read other peoples responses about the propheets and their take on raps and the program. The ideology and totalism of it all was the nightmare for me and I've tried hard to never forget that...as virtually any of my little brothers could attest to even back then. I'm just so floored and happy when people I didn't even talk to find this site and post even if they think we're overly sensitive. I'll say it again: I'm just glad that there is a place where a handful of the people who were there when I was, have a place to relate their ideas and concerns about what was really going on there, and why and how it was all done.

this site has been having a slow death and it's hard to find for people without linking them directly to it. i'm glad there will be archives because many of the posts in a slew of shit are very succinct and articulate. What's up with the serial crazy man that worked at CEDU and how come no one's saying anything. Creepy, man.

I was "creeped-out" when I read this myself.  From what I've read here on the site, this
nut started working at Cedu-RS right after I got out.  Y'know I split from RS 6 times
in the year & half I was there - I hitch hiked and/or walked down that same mountain
HWY to San Bernardino each time.  It was bad enough having to worry about rattle snakes, drunk drivers, the cops, etcetera...but just think, at the same time that sick motherfucker was raping, killing, & burying kids my age in those woods... man, that's fucking crazy.  It makes me appreciate much more how fortunate I am that things worked out for me as well as they did, I.E. - I'm healthy, I'm whole, & most importantly I'm living my life.  It saddens me greatly to think of poor Blake (and countless other missing children/persons) who can't say the same.

WHAT IS A RAP, ANYWAY?

I think everyone knows what a rap is.  The question is silly and has been discussed multiple times.

A Rap is a discussion on a particular book, film, music piece, game or other object, item or entity. The central idea is that students engage in substantive dialogue about Rap Points. These are higher order thinking questions posted to the Rap site once a week by the Owner Teacher.
