If we were to examine the american educational system (a.e.s.), the curriculum includes every ethnic background except the Afrikan Diaspora. We study foreign policy and find that Afrika is not a part of it knowing the Motherland holdz the worldz largest supply of natural resources. Students of all races (except Afrikanz) are taught of their foreparents contribution to society, while the rich history of our people are "commercially" examined during the shortest and coldest of months; that being February.

As unknowing victimz of the a.e.s., we must realize there is a conspiracy. Todayz eurocentric society has been covering up something they do not want the people to know. Education is the root of ones knowledge and ignorance. The a.e.s. is guilty of consistently producing Afrikanz with low self-esteem – and can do so because we have been stripped of a foundation. That foundation being a knowledge of ourselves and culture.

Knowledge is power; however, the majority of us are not aware of this. Da Ghetto Tymz magazine was founded on April 10, 1993. DGT was created to merge the "scholar" mentality with the "street" mentality; the mental with reality. We want to inform every Afrikan to realize the situation we are in is not by accident. There is a reason blacks possess the strongest buying power ($600 Billion in 2000) in the u.s., yet own no companies to complement this purchasing power. There's a reason we have not followed the chinese in amerikkka, with their "chinatownz"; the italianz and "little italy"; and so on. Mainly because we exist in a system that has been grafted to benefit whites. It is now tyme to return; if not physically, definitely in the mind. Which brought the title of this work, Da Ghetto Tymz, because it is our tyme to rise!

DGT's mission is to reach the world and educate those who don't know; to put the Afrikan back on the map where we were erased and ignored; to raise our self-esteem so we realize it is not my brother or sister who is my enemy; to rekindle the connection of our bredren and sistern in Afrika, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Asia and throughout the universe; to use the history of our past to develop solutionz to our present and future conditionz; to no longer be reactionary and become revolutionary; to inspire the development of Afrikan-owned schoolz, businesses and institutionz so that we will be in a better position to benefit from our tenacious spending power; to make our childrenz children aware of the deedz of Sojourner, Garvey, Queen Tiye, Nat Turner, Imhotep, YOU and so on; And to finally, unite the entire Afrikan race and break the shackles of dependence from this oppressive society chauffeured by the caucasian.

We hope you enjoy DGTonline and will support DGT magazine by subscribing and letting the vibration of "the word" be passed to all your family, friendz and acquaintances. To MAAT be true, MORE FIRE!!
