I wouldn't dare.
I love CPT, Watts Inglewood and all.

Very beautiful take on silence. Quotable quotes.
Of course I am sure that you did not stereotype Compton. That's the home of one the world's greatest tennis players, Serena Williams.

I want to thank Chidi for his consistent "Today's Quote". We may not always agree but you always provoke woke discussions and interventions from members of The forum."How come there is blood in the jacuzzi when all can hear the silence of the Uzis. Uzis speak but there are "Silencers on the Uzi".
Ask a Palestinian child the meaning of silence.
In Compton, it was a good day when Ice Cube didn't have to use his AK47. Silence of the AK. Not silencers on the AK.
Chidi has obviously heard about cryptic silences. No? What about historical silences or silencing the past? How can history ignore or fail to record reverberating silences?
The silence of guilt, the silence of shame. Complicity.
There's also enforced silences."Jackboots on our throats, if we speak we disappear".
Of course there is silence in the grave yard but there is also grave silence employed by my late dad before the lava of his anger erupts. Grave silence may not kill you dead but it communicates to you the finality of silence of the grave.
Can the mute shout?
"Silence in the labyrinth amplifies the footfalls spanning the distances".
To the soldier, silence in the warfront is not only the cessation of hostilities but the absence of communication from the generals and commanders and the HQ.
Ask the Christian Armenians or the Bosnian Muslims about silence, they'll tell you silence is historical.
Victims will never forget even if villains refuse to remember.
History is a record of actions and inactions, presences and absences, speeches and silences. Events.

OAA,
Okigbo was merely exercising artistic licence.
The exclamation marks, etc, in sentences, which you mentioned are parts of the communication endeavours, some things are being communicated.
Silence communicates nothing.
CAO.
