A LETTER TO O.O.

jafadablog — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:00:34 +0000

its wednesday afternoon and the air is filled with loneliness not the kind of loneliness which company can drive away . some friends will be coming over but i will still be lonely its that kind of loneliness which a growing man feels when he has just returned from a spiritual journey.and here i sit around my pc with fingers on the keys writing a letter to someone who i dont know. while my mind, my body , my whole spiritual introspective essence is bathing in the aura of her delicate womanhood . i beseech you to understand that for it was written with much pain. forgive me,. . forgive me with your kind eyes, forgive me with your elegantly structured body , forgive me with your vicious smile and most of all ,forgive me when next you make love to your lover, for my mother had a stupid child. now that i said that i shall reach for a glass of myers rum and a joint and stand tall and mighty in the aura of my shame and shout out loudly with every fibre around my bones ,with every bone in my body that such an instance of majesty rippling with artistic mystery across a womans face cannot be called a mere smile. by the way , did you know when you smiled the way you did it opened up my fantasys to unite with you ?.?. o.o , my mood has become like birds in the cage of a wicked artist who is bent upon their slaughter to use their blood to paint a drastic portrait to kiss upon your smile.

hi i am home again from my long sojourn on the road with the band that i road manage.it has been such a long time since i wrote a blog. i miss writing to you my readers and hope that i will be around longer this time to share my thoughts with you. have you ever experienced taking real good care of someone you called a friend and they suddenly started acting real funny and weird with you?.some one you knew from a child, some one you grew up with like a brother or a sister.? well that recently happened to me. my closest brother who we do business together for over two decades decided to branch off with some new person he just met with promises of taking him to the top. someone that does not really have a track record in the record industry like we have. we are already @ the top of our game in this business and only can take our artistry higher. i believe that committment to your cause or work is a high priority in life and one must always evaluate the facts before jumping the gun with any new employer or corporation that has been monitoring your activity over a decade and did not approach you until you have finally made your hard earned stardom pay off. if such a person or company had approached us earlier when we were working very hard to make it had come to us and made an offer then it would not have been so weird. people only are interested in you when you are at the top. they never ever want to take the gamble on you when you are at the beginning stages of your game. but now that you have accomplished a huge successful career they want to jump on the band wagon. this so-called bredren of mine is either gullible or ignorant for he decided to drop everything we have accomplished to start over with someone who dangled a few dollars infront of him. on our own we made so much cash doing everything for ourselves, without having to worry about giving (20%) twenty percent of our hard earned wages to someone who just wants us to let them put their logo on our products. i believe that it is a crying shame to accept an offer like that. we have been staying atop of the game and always manage to come out with an abundance of satisfaction and profit without needing to get any assistance from any external forces or company. i believe in self independence when it comes down to business. we own our company which manages, book and promotes our products. we have been monitoring our affairs perfectly withou any intereference from other partners. tell me this would i be wrong to pull up my stakes and depart out on my own after two decades of running my own and my friend business.? i think its time for a change and a change is what its going to be. my friend does not appreciate that and wants me to remain to oversee things but i am ready to move on to an higher level of life. for sometimes all good things must come to an end. do you agree?. let me know what you suggest. thank you much.

I cannot comprehend why every time a black man speak of blackness the entire white population says he is a racist. it is very evident that the white man is the only one who can express his views and is not labelled a racist. racism has been in effect since the time of QUEEN ISABELLA andCHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. EVEN DARWIN was an avowed racist. as a jamaican born in the caribbean i can tell you first hand about cronic racism, please do not forget about all those slave ships that sailed in the middle passage capturing african people and making them slaves. even the ROMANS were collectors of slaves so why is it a huge problem when reverent whright expressed his views about america?, he is not really making up tales or lies about what he has experienced, for many black people in america still experiencing cronic racism and slavery. one should stop and think about the actual facts of reality when it comes down to AFRICAN AMERICANS and THE NATIVE AMERICANS. was it not slavery that displaced the american indians who were all horded like cattles and diseminated all over the united states of america by the white men who came as settlers. my great,great, great grand parents were forcibly seperated by the white slave masters when they took them from africa to journey like animals across the atlantic oceans to come to america to be slaves to white people.HAILE SELASSIE I once gave a speech in 1935 that BOB MARLEY exposed to the world to invoke and awaken the spirits of all the sleeping giants who always ignored the fact that racism exists. (until the pholosophy which holds one race superior and the other inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abondonded, until the color of a mans skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all in regards to race we got to say war. until that day we dream of lasting peace world citizenship the rule of international morality , until that day we africans will fight if we find it necessary and we know we can win in this battle of good over evil, of good over evil , then every where is war, war in the east, war in the west, war up north and war down south, war, war, rumors of war. until that day the world will not know peace and we are confident in the victory of good over evil. war, war, rumours of war.) MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY WAS PERSUCUTED BECAUSE HE TOLD BLACK PEOPLE TO STAND UP AND BE PROUD OF WHO THEY ARE. he suffered all types of tribulation at the hands of the white men,, even his own black people were afraid to be associated with him fearing that they would be persecuted also. but he did not quit, he did not put his mouth between his legs like a puppy dog and lay quietly down to die. he fought for the dignity and respect of the black people who were so afraid to even say black. cant you all see the positive results that arose from all these sacrifices that the black prophets have suffered?, because of these forerunners of our cultural heritage we can presently witness a black man running for president of the united states of america. twenty, thirty or even say fifthy years ago we could never even dream of this occuring, of a black man been nominated to even run in an election, muchless for president of the united states. do not misinterpret my reasonig as being racist or bigoted for i am only speaking the truth as i see it. america always propogate free speech and if one race of people express their dissatisfaction about the ill treatment that is been inflicted upon them by another racial group then we have no democracy. i am a lover of all mankind, gender does not seperate my opinion or philosophy. i remembered reading in school when i was a youngster growing up in jamaica about black people could not eat in the same restaurants as the white people, black people could not even attend the same school as the white people, black people had to ride in the back of the bus until one seriously strong black woman could not take it anymore so she protested and rode upfront with the white people. is that not racism?, is that not what the whites in america was propogating? . when black people decided to take affirmitive action and demonstrated they were attacked by dogs and were showered by hoses to break up their protests. even the lynchings of innocent black people were acceptable in the south. these are the type of occurrences that the reverent wright is talking about.so why persecute some one for speaking the truth about his experience in a country where he was born.? JAMAICA was no different , the same segregation existed and still exists in jamaica today. where the lighter skinned color people live up town and own most of the businesses, while the poor black people live in places like trench town, ghost town, cockburn, tivooly gardens, etc, etc. some of them live no place atall they have to go search for food in the dungles of kingston where people dumped rotten foods. so racism is a fact of life perpe trated by a certain skin color or type of people who believes that they are superior to anyone who is not of their complexion. take hitler for instance; he was a white man, some might say he was an aryan but he was still a white man. look what he did to the jews who are also white.?. i support barak obamas philosophy. he sees where all people can unite to make america and the world a better place to live. so do not judge him for choosing a specific church to worship for each man has his own will and ways of doing things. he did not make any of those comments about america, it was the reverent wright who made all those comments for he believes that, thats the case in america.so if you all want to keep on blinding your eyes to the truth and reality, then you do not have the power to cast your stones. you must first cast the stone out of your eyes first before you can cast the stones out of anothers eyes. what we all should be concentrating on is how we can make things better for our country, we must cease from putting blame on people for trying to uplift mankind. we are going to have all types of personalities in this life for even though all men are created equal there are some who think that they are more equal than others., and thats bullshit. we all put our trousers on the same way, we all use our mouth to eat food or drink liquid, we all close our eyes when we sleep. maybe some of us are afraid to close our eyes so we sleep with them open. we all have the same color blood running through our veins, and most of all we were conceived the same way, whether we were born breeh or came from the womb we are the same no matter the color of our skin, no matter the different language we speak and no matter where we were born or what country we came from. like jamaicas coat of arms, out of many one people. thats a motto that the world should adopt and live by whether we be asian, latino, caucausian, african, muslim, indian, european,everyman/woman. I wont even mention the philosophy of dr. MARTIN LUTHER JR.KING, HE WAS KILLED BECAUSE HE WAS A PROUD BLACK MAN. WHO DO YOU THINK KILLED HIM?. so we are who we are.

B.O.P.(THE AFRICAN CONCEPTION OF MIND).

jafadablog — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:02:19 +0000

when i speak of the african conception of mind, iam speaking of different species of beings generating and formulating different forms of language logics. it must be recognise that logics is a derivative of language and must not be taking lightly. for even descarte in his universal doubt methodology said i think therefore i am and i think therefore i am itself subsumes the validity of logics. i think therefore i am itself is a logical preposition and a logical preposition claims no knowledge of the material universe it only strenghten the structure of language which is repetitively consistient.therefore its a great fallacy to assume that the african conception of mind generates or formulates the same logical insights as the european mind. think about it. thats why when we make absurd assumptions and assertations about another person race, we are totally revealing our inner inferiority complexes.
