We talk about ancestors yet many of us refuse to know of our Afrikan spiritual heritage, or pay homage to them, or know how to contact them for guidance. We continue to think exactly like our oppressors about our own Afrikan culture that it is evil. We talk about rituals being carried out by the oppressors but what rituals are we doing as a people. We watch as our people and our children are continually attacked, imprisoned and murdered. We get upset about it but as sister souljah says "not upset enough to bring about any radical changes. We get upset about little things but become silent and immobilised about the loss of our children, the loss of our relatives, the loss of our freedom, and the loss of our justice".
We continue to play the political game by believing that our votes will make a difference when we still haven’t received reparations. When are we going to wake up! It’s no wonder we’re dying. What is this website doing to actively protest against such? Apart from the consciousness raising classes lead by bro OldSoul this site is just about as active as a dead volcano. But if I'm wrong & I've seriously missed something, I'm sure you'll inform me in the best of ways. Truth be told, guess I expected more from this site and I wish I had put my money into a more pro-active site such as **.org and **.com, but anywayz, I didn't. So if I get banned for speaking my mind, pls be sure to gimme a refund...lol. (guess that's not in the clause huh).
But anywayz, many sheeple are waiting to be told what to do because for them it’s too hard - too inconceivable to break out from even thinking outside of the box as it were. Too afraid to let go of the conditioned comfort, the manipulated confusion, the corporate control of our cultural womb, the religious indoctrinations, the academic stupification, our addiction to being manipulated and regulated which blinds us from seeing the world beyond the borders of our nationalistic prison of patriotic fascism, the heavy and unjust taxation which isn’t even lawful, political and social alienation, our MGM and WB illusions of love and happiness. Too afraid to explore the reservoirs of our hearts - the true dimension of our suppressed Being. We want to stay happily deceived, enslaved to debt, meaningless sports and redundant dances to music played by corporate capitalist, stay intoxicated to the thousands of diversions flung at our feet to maintain ignorance and compliance.
Ignorance is truly bliss. Great ships were made for high seas, rather than to simply sit tied and docked in the harbour.
Peace...
YES Dear Sister, some of us are cowards. Some are standing up and doing positive things in our communities. I have found not to expect much on the internet other than some possible networking and exchange of ideas which may lead to some activism in real-time.
Are we cowards? Again. Some of us are. Some of us proactively confront the problems and issues facing our communities. I dont want to sound cliche or like a broken record year but the Last Poets addressed this over 30 years ago. Some folks will always be afraid of Revolution. That seems to be a bad word in some places. Some folks negate this as a possibility because they dont have an effective strategy in unity with other oppressed communities/Nations. They say we must go it alone then take a do-nothing approach and provide no solutions. They scapegoat others then behave as lost sheep.
Is it true that "we are not motivated enough to fight for our on right to self-determination" YES and not only that but when was the last time anyone here even mentioned the words BLACK LIBERATION. Oh. That's right. We are "non-white people", "Asiatics", etc. so this then negates discussion of BLACK Liberation if we are not really "Black".
Quite frankly, I'm no longer involving myself in discussion on reparations because of my experience last year here on that issue. Once I step out of a discussion I keep it moving to the next idea/strategy and write the previous off my list. This is why I'm down to ONE which is back to the Family. The main source and I'm just going gangsta with it like the mafia. Kinship/family clan and that's it. Peace
