I had a similar thing happen to me on an airplane. My son and I were discussing Na'im Akbar's "Light from Ancient Africa", which I happened to have in my hand, and this white guy in the row in front of us turns around and starts injecting himself into the conversation, making little snide insinuations against Akbar's integrity. My son and I just ignored the guy until he got the hint and went back to minding his own bizness.

Such behavior can be explained by something Dr. Kamau Kambon said in his now infamous speech. He said that when whites came to us, and said they were going to emancipate us from the plantation, what they really did was extend the boundaries of the plantation to include the whole world and then made every white person on the planet a plantation master/owner.

And, they do take this job seriously. You can see it in the behavior of TV news anchors, college professors, peers at work, and even complete strangers you might happen to pass on the street. They know, even if we don't, that someday One of us is going to come up with the One solution to the problem of how to kick Massa out of the Big House, off the plantation, and back to the Cave [think Plato] from whence he came. So, they work damn hard to keep us in ignorance of our true Self.

If you will allow me to attempt to expand your understanding outside the box --- the Cave is the Unreal, the illusion that Man has which says that what is real is materialism --- money, guns, nuclear weapons --- all those shadows on the Cave walls which fuel the current world system of White Supremacy.

One day, One of us will come up with the One solution for freeing Man from his Cave, will come up with the One solution to Self-Realization -- the realization that the Real is not money, guns, and bombs, but rather the Real is the Self.

This is the One Way that leads out of the shadows of the Cave and into the Light that is the Life of men. The Way of the One began with us -- in Kemet and the Harappa Valley -- and the One will be a child of that lineage.

Brotha? I'm SURE that you have read all of the readings and teachings of Brother Neely Fuller, Jr. as well. Right? :) I've been reading one of his books for about five days now. I've been so engrossed in it, but the book is powerful, just powerful! I've got some brotha/sista friends that are waiting in line to read it next!

People who get offensive when they notice I'm vegetarian...or pestatarian (only eat fish and eggs). I don't care if you eat meat. Do you! But don't try to make me feel bad for not eating it.
Then again, what did I expect from the south...

"You want some chicken Deondra,"
"Um...no thanks."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing really, I just don't eat meat...."
"Oh you one of dem. That ain't natural. God meant for people to eat meat. That what dem animals are here for. How da hell you get protein?
"--well, actually, you can get protein just fine without eating meat, because eating a wide variety of fruits and veggies gives you the right combination of amino acids to make complete proteins and soy is a complete sour-"
"Dat ain't healthy! Nuh un! My meal ain't a meal without meat! You craz-"
"LOOK. EAT YOUR D@#$ED meat! I DON'T CARE!!!! NOW PASS THE D@#$ PEAS!"
(Sigh.)

LOL, that me. I for some reason am annoyed by vegetarians. For no good reason, maybe because I associate them with hippies I'm not sure.
I'm not that bad though I rarely say anything to their face and recognize its my bias and nothing important.
