Re: EVERYTHING must be examined!

***** i cannot agree wholeheartedly with this assesment. inasmuch as the i implies that white-males are the inventors or originators of every notion, concept, belief, idea, invention, discovery and categorization they impliment or use daily*****

I did not mean to imply that white/males implemented ALL ideas, beliefs, etc. I was refering to the ones that they did implement.

*******certainly John Coltrane was not wrong for knowing how to read and write music and compose and transpose notes to paper, neither was Miles Davis nor Duke Elington nor Monk......yet some amongst i n i own would call proper music theory and composition a "white-male" thing,......preposterous!*******

That is on point. But IF they would not have questioned/challenged "white/male" theory/composition, they would have not improvised and Jazz itself would have never been born. This supports my reasoning with the fact that remember, Jazz was criticized and called "devil music" and blamed for "decent white women losing their chastity". It was considered "anti-classical". Same with "rock n roll".

So your example is a direct case and point to why we must challenge. Jazz, rock n roll, hip-hop ALL defied and challenged guidelines.

But let us remember also that music (compared to something as powerful/controlling as religion) does not impose white supremacy to the degree of us losing our identities, minds, determination and indigenous well-being.

Even with the musicians you mentioned, Baaby has criticized, copied and claimed those music forms...thus no challenge to the white/male power status.

IF we play his game, by his rules, WE LOSE EVERY TIME.

The first rule of his game is acceptance of his construct of religion which starts a timetable at 4AD just OUTSIDE of drawn up Afrika instead of 100,000 BC INSIDE of Afrika.

His claim to delivering "Good News" is his justification for the rest of the BAD NEWS that came with it.

Spirituality/KRST are Natural overstandings. Indigenous WORLDWIDE already had these overstandings. What did his-version and his-tory do for us except deny OUR originality and indigenous connections and source of strength/power...SELF/NATURE/COSMOS/ALL.

That is why it was so easy for us to absorb their story, it was familiar. But they added white and male protectionism between the lines.

Think about it, what other indoctrinations by Baaby have we NOT challenged yet. And it happens to be the most influential/powerful.

No mystery at all.

Religion is the "last castle" of the white/supremacy monarchy.
