G, word/power but I really would like to be edified on the threat to the global hegemony that Selassie I possessed.

Perhaps I do not overstood what that period represented but I am not interested in significance or pride or dignity but rather substance.

I do not see how you can chant down european imperialism with another form of imperialism that engages in the same acts. From what I read, indigenous people came up short in Ethiopia just as other indigenous people came up short by the hand of Rhodes.

The true 'liberation' of the matter still eludes my overstanding.

Just like so-called feminism. How is it liberational when all it intends to do is replace the capitalistic/materialistic alpha male with a capitalistic/materialistic alpha female? Does that dismantle the folly or just transfer the hands pushing the buttons? (i.e. Obama)

Malcolm, once he aligned with othodox Islam and brought forth linked commonality WAS INDEED a threat to white/male supremacy.

Martin, once he was no longer such a docile turn-the-other-cheek pacifist and spoke strongly against the war in Vietnam, WAS INDEED a threat as well.

I do not claim to be enlightened on the endeavors of HIM so I welcome edification.

Just please don't give me gobbledegook about symbolism and bloodlines and scripts and prophetics.

The facts please.
The body count please.
