Help me with a few things

One: How can anyone expect to get the "aims and Objectives" of "whites"? I know some people would like to look at whites, blacks, asian, or whatever as some type of political orginization because it would make things easier, but that is not the way things work. We are in the shit we're in because of stereotyping---do we need to contribute to that poor approach to life?

two:What do you mean when you call someone white or black? At my school kids came to me and asked me to be their advisor for the Black Unity club. I asked them why they wanted me and not this other teacher. They said they didn't want her because she was "white". I was honored yet confused. why? I have the same "white skin" as the other teacher. I asked the kids what am I and they said I was black. Again I was honored But.........?

Three: Isn't a white (whatever that really means) person also a victim of mental slavery? I sat in the same class with a black student and received the same lies as he did. I needed to educate myself to the truth just as he did. Yes I have unjust advantages, but I have been lied to just the same.

four: Why can't a person 100,000 years removed from Africa claim the same amount of attachment for Africa as a person 100 years removed. If we are to trace a family tree then you go back to the beginning----------Africa. I mean really---do you really want to exclude anyone from chanting praises to Mother Africa?

I really am interested in what people think on these Ideas. I have brought up this thoughts on other posts, but no one has really reasoned back. I don't know if it is because I am new to the site or because there may be a truth to them that people don't have a response to.
Tell me to take a hike if you want, But I am really curious how these thoughts tie in with Rastafari.

Thanks for your time
