They change the rules in the middle of the game for us to do that all we have to do is just play for ourselves and not let some "appointed general" from their team tell us how we should play and make the moves for us.

We should just become our own leaders and say simply screw this need for some one else to show us the way. because when you get right down to thinking about the problem...........We all know what it is we must do about it.

Not allow any one else to play for us........

See what I'm saying now

Take you own destiny into your own hands

The question is, why aren't our warriors being taught any better?

Exactly,

It's a sad condition because just like the sista said on the film the "system" leaves these people so poor that they feel they have no hope accept to turn to crime. Poverty for long periods of time = hopelessness and if you feel hopeless you behave destructively.

I study and I analyze the situation, and I can't seem to come up with a thought where these brothaz and sistaz can find hope living in Jamaica being that the country itself provides absolutely no jobs to make decent money and MY GOD, living with no running water in some areas, but having a small percentage of the island where (and excuse my French) rich, well off f**k’s vacation thinking nothing of the condition of the real people of the island.

It's honestly insulting for them to know all this wealth is flooding in daily through tourism and they see not a dime and have very few options to find ways of pursuing their personal goals.

These brothaz and sistaz deep down don't want to live this way, but its their home, and more and more each day they have no choice but to move out of the country or die and that is an extreme condition to give people to leave where they were born in order to be free.

I swear man, when they designed the gun using the example of the male genitalia, they knew exactly what the intent was and that was to castrate black males and black women because without the sperm of the black male "shooting/firing off" aka ejaculating, we become extinct.

Jamaican's do have a choice!!!!!!!!

We had a revolt here as Black Americans as a minority against a majority.
There are no Maroons in the USA who were allowed to survive thier African culture.

Inspite of a white majority the Seminole, which were mistaken as Indians revolted against Andrew Jackson and faught against the then US army ofr 150 years.

At a time when 1 out of every white men were klansmen (1910-1930) , we had Black Wall Street in Oklahoma, and Ida B. Wells as a mllionaire and job provider.
When there was segregation in the south and sisters were molested in the streets, and chidren spit upon, we had the will and power to establish the Nation of islam(1950s)
During the 60s and 7s we faught hard some times in the streets, The Black Panthers, the republic of New Africa, H. Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis ,
.....all of this so that those jobs that were once white only could employ all Blacks were ever they came from.
ALL OF THIS WHILE BEING A MINORITY IN A WHITE RUN NATION.

we as Blacks who were brought here in slave ships, have nowere to run or escape...............
and leave our brothers and sisters in poverty,
we had to stand here and fight, and still do!
When you look at the number of inventions, the street stop light, refrigerator, iron and ironing board, shoe making machine, baby carriage, electronic subway, etc. greatfolks in politics, Adam clayton Powell, Harold Washington, Cynthia Mckenny, John Conyers, Leaders, Martin Luther King, Malcom X, educatiuon, Arthur Schomburg, John Henrik Clarke, Leonard Jeffries, Arna Bontemps, Carter G, Woodson, Amos Wilson, music, art, that come from this country
""inspite of still being under an opressor that does not look like us"",
and establish a standard of living for the least of us,
that would make many poor nations envious.
as I said we stood here and faught, we were water hosed and had dogs put on us, watched our leader assasinated, and our elders flooded intentionally in Katrina, and still we fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jamaica has a Black majority , so it is a Black nation, so,in Kingston folks need to stand and fight, for the betterment of the collective,.....
instead of killing each other in the streets over bullsh*t!

And that hopelessness is repeated from generation to generation. We don't even realize how deep under attack we are. Even though they got us in a bad way, that's still not enough to them because they know we are the sleeping Lion and if we wake up can't nobody do nothing with us. They are trying to kill us with AIDS, drugs, guns, liqorr, money, food and jail. Now if we make it past all of that they got all these other traps. If we were able to keep our money in our neighborhoods without going outside we could start to turn some of this around but all our buisnesses close, our doctors leave, lawyers and anybody else with something to help our hoods leave.

" hate to say this (but then again no I don't)......let me be real.........I feel intergation was not for our good.........we didn't see the fine print."


I don't hate to say it--I agree with the above statement. The most common statement that a white person will utter regarding BLACK people is that of, "I would not have a problem with black people if they would just try to be like everyone else."

What a bunch of bullchit. "Be like everyone else" as in becoming immersed in WHITE culturalisms? Continue in allowing white supremacy to be the dictum of societies (for this practice is abroad as well!).

"I think NOT."

Chancellor; that's right these machines are here,but we need them! Matrix Reloaded.

Lets say white folks just disapeard or just say "Y'all folks are free!!!!!!!!!!!!
After the utilities of telephone, gas and electric were deregulated why did we not buy or amass some going concerns for our survival.
Do we have an economic survival plan.
Do we have a medical plan
Do we have an education plan
And can we employ our own??????

We kill each other each month,...
more then the Klan has each year!!!
So wheon folks wanna talk that segregation is our demise crap,
just go to any high skill or low skill factory, office, or civil service job and watch how our women moon eye up to the white man.

We can't even stop folks from putting nooses on our doors, let alone feed, clothe, employ, house, educate or heal ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless we have a serious plan to use 2% of the 800 billion we spend each year for our survival, talk about seperate and equal is like urinating up a rope!!!!!!!!!!!!!
