SOUND & RASTA ???????????

I think your living in your memory... I know things were very different back in the day, but I assure you it was not as you think, if you are saying everything was pure and clean. Maybe purer and cleaner. I'll even be cheeky and say you urself may have been a bit young and naive if you think things were so perfect... In reality it comes down to a loss of time... and a refusal to let go. Time is always passing, hence saying 'sad' in reflection on ur comment.. Sad because you don't seem to be positive about a lot and drawing so much attention to badness, (which is always around). As far as I know... that is an attitude that should be ironed out with a little reasoning... maybe thats what you are missing..? I figure the US is quite different... that is where I see the 'twisted' part, of being so certain of things like you are the last stand having to defend against things. Setting the example would be better... but it is not a good example to come across as angry and beligarent... it's rare anyone pays much mind to that attitude.

Times have certainly changed, but it is more important to be a positive influence and example to others.
 
I know I've patronised you a fair bit in the reply, but it's better to reason about things, rather than to simply oppose.

Greetings Earl,

Indeed .... i will stay on my path........ your path doesnt sound that great

Its obvious many dont overstand the context of the word sound of Afrika for the Afrikan...at home and abroad, which Garvey stated many years ago. It means that Afrika is the HOME of the Blackman and Wombman no matter where on earth one may be. Im sure u know/read/heard how the Afrikan as of 500 yrs ago were scattered all over the west..and im sure u know/red/
heard that when european countries colonized and divided up Afrika, they also put in place a
govt, ecomonical system, religion, etc. Now when u hear this call for Afrika for the Afrikans it simply means its our home and we want full control of it and its resources.
It does not mean that no other races can exist there. It means
that these other races will not be allowed to control the vital aspects of any Afrika nation. We as Afrikans have seen the outcome in the past of letting others control
Afrikan nations and im sure no european or other nation would allow Afrikans to fully control it without a conflict. Afrika is the Blackmans land....the late Sugar Minott sung that in one of his tunes....are u saying he was racist too? Furthermore ur reasoning of the Nation of Islam is false....i have yet to see the Nation lynch any Europeans like the KKK lynched and terrorizes my forefathers. The nation is
primarily non-violent unless its in self defense. Can u say the same about the KKK. I find it odd tht u would make such a claim thats so ridiculus!! As HIM Haile Sellassie I stated so well "WE AFRIKANS WILL FIGHT IF WE FIND IT NECESSARY" for the liberation and freedom of All Afrikans at
home and Abroad. We will not cease from this mission no matter what anyone says. Afrika is for InI but dont mean that others cant dwell in our home but we wont sit back and let them control our home!!! Selah!

We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil.

CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT IS THE WORD OF THE DAY. Whos point of view was HIM speaking from? The Afrikan! Look very closely at the speech (red words) and WHEN and WHY HIM said what He said. It was due to the treatment AFRICANS were receiving from Colonial European powers. Italy's aggression towards Ethiopia sparked this reasoning by HIM not Afrikans aggression towards Europeans. Why does he specifically mention Afrikan nations only???...and closed by saying WE AFRIKANS....He didnt say WE THE PEOPLE of the earth. This speech was directed towards the oppressors of Afrikans, which HIM defended on all fronts. Lets not take HIM words out of context here, and try to apply them outside of the context in which they were said. Too many times non-Afrikans use this speech without overstanding the WHO, WHAT, WHEN , and WHY it was being said. HAILE SELLASSIE I Guidance & Itection.
