Weaponized Constitution, Courts and the People
Growing up in Jamaica, we were brainwashed into believing the USA system of Government, Constitution and laws was superior to any other system on planet earth. The average Jamaican knows more about the US Constitution and Bill of Right than they do about the Jamaican Constitution. It is not uncommon for them in a debate to quote the US constitution as if it was the Jamaican Constitution. The average Jamaica does not know one line of the Jamaican Constitution. Imagine my shock and awe on finding out it is just as dysfunctional as most and more dysfunctional than some. Americans love to make their system of Government sound mystical and magical. Something unique and above all the rest. Like a self-aware and self-governing Artificial Intelligence that protects the biggest idiots from themselves. I remember a friend of mine describing the US Supreme Court as if it was controlled by super intelligent, omnipotent and omniscience beings, who were all knowing, Guardians of Freedom and Dem...
Reverse Middle Passage - Rwanda Buying Black People
In any discussion on slavery and reparation with the British, the British love to highlight that the slave trade was facilitated by Black Africans, capturing and selling other Black Africans to white slavers. I am neither going to support or deny that narrative because I do not know the circumstances surrounding their decision to take part. If it was done, did they do it out of greed or fear? A bunch of heavily armed white people turn up at your village and demanding you or the people in the other tribe, then the human survival instinct kicks in. However, the recent news that Rwanda will be paid to take refugees already in the UK, off British hands filled me with disappointment. If the British were right then Africans who use to sell other Africans to the British, are now buying Africans and middle easterners from the British. A kind of reverse middle passage. Denmark also has a deal with Rwanda to take refugees. So, Rwanda is trying to make a profit trading in human souls...
Stephen Marley - Made In Africa ft. Wale, The Cast of Fela
Lyrics [Verse 1: Stephen Marley] Educate yourselves, of Africa To liberate yourself, Africa Keep your heads up high No more will we cry Eeeeyh Our history that they stole, Africa Is written in our souls, Africa Oldest nation on this earth Know just what you worth Well well Ships that sail to distant places Robbed us of our rights and worth History says that you've betrayed us Talking of the Gods you serve Hear the rambling in the sky Tears that our forefathers cry And today we're still in chains Take the shackle from our minds You're the cornerstone The king upon the throne How beautiful are thou, Africa All nation have to bow, Africa Don't you fall from grace You're that secret place Aye! Aye-ah-aye! [Verse 2: Wale] Power to the people, Motherland representa I'm on trial with the man she my co-defendant And I demand her attention, can you focus women? I'm getting closer to the sky errytime I hit it Haile Selassie I, "Power of the Trinity" Soul mad...
