Well, I think that each of us came into this world naked, but was taken care of by those who were before us, and it is clear that the generation which came before, has the duties and responsibilities, to teach, nourish and care for the generation which follows. The degrading state in which this world is in today, is as a result of bad attitudes, which were allowed to germinate and spead, among our people, over a long period of time, and today it has overtaken, the hearts minds and soul, of almost every single human being upon the face of this earth. There is a dangerous mind virus, which is called holiday, which should really be a holy day, when we should rest and meditate about our life situation, and be inspired about great plans for our future and upliftment, but what we do, instead, is to go to the bank and draw money, or borrow money, just to go partying, buying new expensive clothes, which to we really do not need, since we already have too much good clothes in our houses, but yet we spend a bag of money, drinking beers and other alcohols, as well as over eating, just to show others, that we are able be a part of the social class of holiday spending. Christmas is one of the biggest and most dangerous kind of mind virus, which can cause some people to even steal from others, just to be fashionable for that one day, and be a student of Santa Claws.
This is a ages of money, and money is what is being used in this ages to be exchanged for goods and services, it is not the money which is greedy, it is those criminal plutocrats, it is their greedy dirty attitudes, which are creating the problems, so even if we were not using money, and we were exchanging goods for goods, their greedy and criminal attitudes, would still cause them, to have dishonest ways of being unfair, as it relates to the exchange rates.
We as African people are used to have cooperative ways of living in the past, all of this were interrupted, by slave trading activities. We are capable of recreating cooperative ways of living, but we must first realize that we are a race of people, and that we must rediscover, our original good attitues and ways of life, and put them into practice in our communities, so that our following generation, will benefit from our communal ways of living, and will not make the same mistakes, which we have been making and are a still making as we live from day to day.
Land is the basis of liberation and emancipation, when we have land we can plant food and various food trees for our people, when we have land we have water since water is always found upon the land, some where upon the land. When we have land we can build houses for our families, that is why they are always making wars to steal land, for oil, for gold, for silver, for diamonds and all manner of natural resources.
It is a small minority of people who are making this world a miserable place to live, they are the politicians, and the industrialist, who buys the politicians and have them in their pockets. They all depend on the masses for every single thing, when they come at election time to beg for votes, we should be busy taking care of our plantations, are other community and family commitments. Since they are not taking care of us, let us find ways and means to take care of ourselves, starting with you and me, and do not watch the crowd, each of us must start and others will observe our progress and follow as the communities start to grow in love and unity, we must at least try, and let us only get what we are in need of, instead of what we want
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE
