coz at the end of each day, we´re only human.
human beings are dumb! naturally dumb as naturally as we´re "blessed" with the ability to say ´we´re the smartest´, yup! u, me, him, her, them, black, white, red n blue, somebody has to run ish, the problem is, everybody else wants his own big peice too, therefore somebody has to win someway or another, the methods are countless n various in forms with evil more often than not playing the biggest mind-phuckin part in the equation, thus leavin one party bitter, oppressed, divided or in laymen´s terms: "Phucked up"
if it wasn´t them it´d prob´ly be us, maybe someday it will be, maybe it once was for all i care, what such amazing difference would it have made if some black dude had pointed out Shaka´s theories? that´s too easy, makin the peeps apply n live by them principles on the other hand i have a strong feeling would´ve produced a more dramatic glitch in the matrix, black folks need to stop crying for handouts, whinnin n lickin each other wounds over shit they do n/or don´t have n instead spend that energy toward at least tryin to get some n/or better yet try to help the next man to get his.
All that Azanian, Afro-centricity, cannabis-enhanced Black consciousness, empowerment BULLSHIT i hear at poetry sessions n where not is nothing but inspiring sugar coated crap... don´t get ,me wrong inspiration can work wonders for one´s mental wellbeing n is known to have moved mountains n all but...
until we (Black folk) truly n i insist TRULY? learn to open our minds... completely open to new n different ways, ideas n resorts,
learn to take pride in each other´s image n feel comfy in our own skins without complexes, n not only learn to beleive in each other but have others beleive in us? until ^^ that happens in ma** synchronous proportion, i don´t see much changin, i see the same shit happening, mostly the same ol´ peeps slavin their lives away n mostly the same ol´ ones, laughin on their way the bank... it´s a vicious cycle yo!
learn, learn, learn there´s so much shit to learn but then again just about as many to "unlearn"
Hey! it´s only my opinion
Peace
