I've discussed this issue today with black people who are darker than me. They also think that you (those in Barbados) are being foolish. I've stood and do stand side by side with black people of all hues and fight for black rights.
I've been with black people of all hues and nationalities that have worked together for a common good. I've been called "nigger" and "dirty" and "subhuman" like black people of all hues in the USA and I've not faltered in my support of all Black peoples worldwide.
I come from a history of black hue equality. Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. Marcus and WEB DuBois. Booker T. and Charles Drew. Langston Hughes and James Baldwin. We are ALL black, period! I understand this and so do the people that I deal with. You don't understand. You refuse to understand.
The fact that the only argument you have is that I am not Black, Blacker, Blackest and can't understand your struggle shows that you have no argument except your own self-pity. I've watched self-absorbed individuals like yourselves pull down a black movement because you can't grow psychologically and emotionally. It's like watching a dog chase its tale. It's amusing and sad. After awhile I just won't to stop the game.
You all run your mouths about "Black Afrikans" and RasTafari evolutionary thought, when in fact you are still thinking and acting like "niggers." And, as the song goes, "niggers are scared of the revolution." You don't want real change! You want everyone to cater to your narcissistic needs and wants. I predict that next year at this time, you will be writing the same articles about the same topics and accusing the same people for your same problems using the same terminology.
You complain that there is no Black, Blacker, Blackest representation in public. Make your own representatives. Why cry about what the gov't is doing? Do something for yourself. Why are you so worried about who sees you? Do your work and help your people. Your are still waiting for the colonial master to acknowledge and respect you. Make the leap, people.
Why are people complaining about no dark representation on the internet? A. There are dark (your definition of black) people who run excellent sites. Promote them on this board. B. If you don't like the situation, stop crying and build your own site. Websites are free! Ras Adam's (white) site is posted on a free area and he collects the links himself. Could a "Blackest" person do that? Yes. Why don't they? Are black people incapable of using the net? No. Don't complain about things that you can change.
C. If you really cared about the revolution/evolution of RasTafari, you wouldn't care where the information came from as long as the revolution moved forward?
D. If you don't like white/white-like people:
1. Remove the pictures of Bob Marley from this site. 2. Eliminate the Rootsie links (I, personally like the site. Yahweh/Mahweh is deep.) from this site. 3. Advertise that this site is for dark people only. 4. Fire 80% of your brown staff that contributes to this site. 5. Eliminate Iyah360's links and site (I personally like it) 6. Request that yellow people like me remove your links from our site.
The fact is, you like the support of white/white-like people, but you don't respect them. You want our contributions, but you want us to be 2nd class citizens. You are hypocrites and Black Nazis that are afraid of revolution and only want to socially stoke each other.
You are all embarassing! This is the image that you give to Anglo opposition. You can't get along. Vain strivings of mind controlled individuals that are suffering from arrested development. The only retort to my statements that you can muster are, "You don't understand because you're not dark enough," "You only say that because you're yellow," "You're speaking from yellow privilege." That's all you have to offer and that is pathetic.
Come with some real reasoning on the subject or maybe you all need to study more like I've been told to do. The work in Barbados will progress without you cowards and self-proclaimed "victims" at the hands of mature Black people.
Maybee you are all just dead weight and we should treat you like the hostile Anglos that you are imitating. I think that is what needs to be done.

Nigger- Black person who can not escape the chains of Racism and respect himself and his people. Spends most of his "free" time fighting amongst his/her own people over nonessential issues.
