Party & B-S: How a Parade Can Lead to Wealth Building

Hotep All,

Thought this was a very well written article worth passing on. Please take time to read it.

---------------

Scenario: Annual West Indian Labor Day Parade
Location: Brooklyn, New York | Eastern Parkway
Attendance: Several Hundred Thousand
Agenda: Party and Bullshit

Throughout the year we plead with YTs government to help us with aid, jobs, medical care, and reparationz [which they will never pay]. Hence, "freedom" has been "granted" to Afrikanz-in-America for several hundred yearz yet we continue to show up at the meeting table, first, entering from the backdoor, then sitting at the table with our handz out offering nothing but our physical bodies in exchange for service. In fact, the only thing we do bring to the table is the strategically heired drama as we beg the same person — who created our condition — to throw us a few bread crumbz of which we aggressively devour with one hand while leaving the other out gesturing for more.

But this piece isn't to meant to separate us, beefin' about differences only keep us apart. On the contrary, this piece is to give us an internal reflection of where we are and why we ain't where we should be yet. With that said, with all socio-political-spirital- and economic-dilemmas we face, I must point out amidst all this, we still remain festive 'cause we love to party!

Not that I'm against celebration, there's nothin' wrong with havin' a good time, but havin' it consistently during an era where conditionz continue to get worse, it's a confirmation of Ancestor Dr. Bobby E. Wright's term, 'Mentacide' (mental suicide). It remindz me of how were were forced to dance on the slave plantationz not for joy, but for exercise where the overseerz would whip us to make us dance. The only thing missing today are the whips — which in many cases have been replaced with alcohol.

Today, we simply have too many parades, carnivalz, fairz, and festivalz to mention where even thinking of mentioning the word 'liberation' or 'building wealth' would be considered oxymoronic!

Take Brooklyn, New York's Annual West Indian Labor Day Parade where several hundred thousand Diasporic Afrikanz get together to biggup which colonized island is better than the rest. Not only are we still a long wayz from realizing we are not just Jamaican, Haitain, or Trinidadian but Afrikan; with many who were brought to these islandz via the Maangamizi — for those who say their bloodline is not related and/or never experienced some degree of colonization might as well be taking the same bleaching cream as Vybz Kartel!
