"That's why I don't just say to the Black people BE PROUD! No, I give them reasons to be proud, you get it? "

I got what ur saying long time...apparently I must be talking gypsy...(I say that in humour not in disrespect)...

it makes perfect sense to me...check it:

say ur parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents were drunks, theives, etc...(u don't have to believe me, there are people in this situation as we speak)...now knowing this...that ur whole family that came before u were people up to no good...should u then feel bad about ur self saying "I'll never make it...look at my family...failure is in my blood...so might as well I just give up"...?

...and that is being realistic...u can tell me that my Ancestors were great, and we can look one generation back up in time, and site great people doing ungreatful deeds...as if they have no morality...no dignity, respect...etc...it would seem that the greatness of my Ancestors weren't as great, if it was able to breed children that has been called "careless Ethiopians"...

with that given, I know of people who have a family history of bright teachers, gov't officials, etc...and they see and know this and still get themselves f'd up...on crack a beg...yow...a reality me a talk u knuh...

"You cannot say to somebody be proud! Your pride has to be rationalized first, because otherwise your subconsciousness won't be enlightened with pride, altough you might look proud on a conscious level. "

Yow mi rate Ras Marcus...oringal dat...I can't remember the post but Ras Marcus said that in the days of old INI did not have books, dis and dat to teach INI...all we had was the silence...the earth...

the earth...even the sunshine is what INI Ancestors had to progress on this planet...the same sunshine then, is the same sunshine yah now...so if I say to someone be proud...it already is rational evident of my Ancestors, who utilzie the same earth to become what they are...to all of us TODAY...and I'm sure u will agree, that is something to be proud about...

The point I am making is:

the knowledge of history cannot and does not make u good or bad...it only suggests that u are either...allowing suggestions to dictate who we are IS mental enslavement...not saying it has nothing to do with the decisions we make daily...but it is mental enslavement because suggestions are not always truthful...and to build a perception of a person or thing based upon suggestions is again to furthur an unaccurate perception towards life...a lost one at that...(talking from experience of not knowing wich 'God' to choose)...also it is to live in somone 'elses' reality...

The history of Europeans suggest that Europeans are bad people...Yet u have good and bad living Europeans all the same...

INI history suggest that INI are good people......yet u have good and bad living "Negroids" all the same...

If this doesn't make sense, please correct I...I'm not someone whos on a ego trip...I am sharing my life experiences through the understanding of the words typed...so any correction u give I...will be applyed in my daily life...I give yanks

...I gave no connation of 1% strong minded and 90% otherwise...I am percieving evryone in the same Majesty...for what we do today will become the history of tommorrow...meaning suggestions or perceptions are never final...as some would say we evolve...

as in the words of Haile Selassie I the First, we have to be like never before...

This is for evrybody

"do sup'm, do sup'm
before sup'm do uno,
do sup'm, do sup'm
a life Jah give uno"
