First of all Sisi Tafari, let I say give thanks for the clarity, is is timely well aimed. There was never any insult taken. One is not allowed to insult I if I do not allow you to, seen.

"Lastly many posters tried to insinuate that I am emotionally drained( for whatever stories that can circulate) but that doesnt cover the need to take care of issues that affect the collective."

Now the comment above although vague, refers, I know to the statement I made on another thread to the effect that I know your soul has been taken to the limits and I sympathize with the I but was asking you not to take it out on ones here. I didn't make this comment out of malice. It has reason and content behind it in more ways than I wish to explain on this forum. Suffice to say I am woman and in this case 'who feels it knows it applies'. I am being deliberately vague here.

"LET INI CLEAN UP THE MESS....
1. I agree that the yardstick for leadership should not be based ONLY on the tone of skin but mostly on the content of character.
2. while there are potential black leaders who must come up to par with their content of character, the colour doesnt determine their behaviour in this present scenario. If so, it is out of discrimination.
Out of this personality disfiguration, the portrayal of an inferiority complex is generally the strongest and saddest outcome of all.

3.On the other hand, the paler usually has an superiority complex.useless and retrograde complexes.
Life has taught INI that these two traits are always serious hurdles among concious Africans.
Even worse among those that are not concious of
their history.

Therefore, for the sake of moving on, let INI all agree that another task for INI in the west is character building and that one outcome that has proven a challenge for INI on this forum is the harshness of objectively handling this as a collective.
If I belong to this family, allow me some space to dare tell my sister to straighten her sheet and hope that my sister wont chasitse me for that.If she does, as an older sister, I'll try to use my discretion to find another way to have this sheet straighten. So I persist....
I much prefere to hope that my sister can trust me enough to realise that I mean well.
I know of the "damaged" mothers who would put the hands of their sons in fire on beig caught stealing.
Later on these same sons would go out and boast that if that hand wasnt burnt, they would never stop stealing.
Now while they will for ever inwardly hate their mothers for such pain, they remain grateful for not being theives.

RasTafari has taken away the pain because INI trust all RasTafari experiences while we strive towards a free Africa and a free world.

GIVING THANKS FOR JAH"

Yes indeed, the truth will bow to no human shrine.
And yes, always giving thanks to Jah. Blessed Love.
