Throughout the year we plead with YT to help us with aid, reparationz [which they will never pay], jobs, medical care, etc. 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, sitting at the table with our hands out. The only thing we bring to the table is our strategically heired drama as we as the same person responsible to throw us a few bread crumbz.

In contrast, we also have too many parades, carnivalz, fairz and festivalz to mention where the only interpretation of the word ‘wealth’ is from an individual and not collective view.

Take the Annual West Indian Labor Day Parade where several hundred thousand Afrikanz get together to biggup which colonized sect is better than the rest. We are a long wayz from realizing we are not Jamaican or Trinidadian but Afrikan, but the concept of building collective wealth is a reachable concept.

Just think if someone organized to have collection baskets of a $1 minimum donation. The several million raised could be used to finance, build and employ our own!

Not takin’ advantage of our people comin’ together and collecting fundz to finance our liberation is simply not Kuji, yo. Meanin’, not kujichagulia which meanz “Self-Determination!”
