ILAFULL SISTREN..BANTU SISTREN
In Response To: FEELINGS. ()

Greetings Again Sistren, an may di peace dat passes all overstanding be INI today..please sistren allow I to comment pon dis topic yuh post, an I give thanks fi di oppertunity still..

"If a few Whites pretend to really have a deep concern for humanity." Sistren, mi know seh yuh write di word 'PRETEND', an perhaps nuff white people who are false pretenders would deceive INI as far as dem icernment fi humanity...but sistren, di persons pon dis board who are white do not pretend, from what I know of dem..dat is I first point.

Now sistren di I wrote:
"Then, one important step for them to tune with their higher consciousness (compassion) is to experience the wide range of feelings of anger of Blacks." Mi fi ask yuh sistren, HOW does one tune dem consciousness to EXPERIENCE di feelings of INI? HOW could dem overstan any ting jus by experienceing INI feelings..how should dem EXPERIENCE INI FEELINGS?? BY INI SHOWING OR TELLING DEM TO EXPERIENCE IT?? Sis, COMPASSION, true Compassion, expressed an lived through dem livity is a start, nuh true? if dem come to dis Livity an express remorse FI WIKKEDNESS dat occur to Black Man (an fi all man), INI should embrace dem. I tink seh fi di most part, ones do. I woman am not trying to let any one feel I experience, but would like to encourage ones to TRY empathy, yuhseeit? An of course it include INI..INI mus TRY EMPATHY, fi ones who may feel guilt on di part of dem race, or di way dis society runs tings..INI should embrace an encourage ones who have found a real reason fi compassion an would like to stand wid INI,..

I do not tink seh mi agree wid dis next statemant although I woman may nuh overstan di meaning behind it..but I am sure yuh tell I later:
"Often, however, Whites want everybody to think positively, as to not hurt their negative feelings. They are very surprised when Blacks feel their negative feelings even more than themselves."
WHITES want ones to think positivly? INI DONT WANT ONES TO THINK POSITIVLY?? if ones do NOT think positive den INI will be thinking negatively an Rastafari is an UPFULL AN POSITIVE livity..yes sis, it is our OBLIGATION to encourage ones to sight di injustices an di inequities of man to man who is so unjust..an as di Rastafari seh, 'blaze fiyah, fi purification', but I woman tek it one step further, in I trod an call fi more prayer..surely prayer is important to di I no matter what religion or spiritual practise di I has, mi sure yuh commune wid yuh God, nuh true?

"Black anger (Whites erroneously called it Black racism) is expressed because our true power has been suppressed and other people to have undue power over us."
Sistren wid dis comment, I want to qwestion..or state dat I woman do not feel dat I true powah has at all been suppressed, an never was , despite di opposition dat man surface wid..it was only whan I woman was not free, in I mind, an not communing wid God, was whan I powah deminish. Yes I all of INI days have had addahs 'undue power' over INI ...but perhaps dat is why nesta sing "but my hand is made strong, by di hand of di almighty.."

" We Blacks are surrounded, by the encompassing racist White Supremacist oppression. We experience and see the slaughter and abuse of our people each day via domestic and international terrorism, the Neo Nazis, the racist news media, racial profiling, racist police depts., racist police acquittals, drops in Black college, drops in Black employment as a result of an AA repeal, destruction of Black national identity, forcing democracy on our nations and punishing some of them by imposing sanctions and embargoes for refusing to follow Western instructions. In addition, the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, the EU, The G8 and Nato all are agents of White Supremacy and leave us in utter confusion and weakness only to benefit White people."
YES SISTREN, ALLA DIS IS DI TRUTH..EXCEPT where di I seh it leave INI in utter CONfusion an WEAKNESS...INI ARE NOT A WEAK PEOPLE, AN WHAT ADDAHS CYAANT POSSIBLY TEK AN EXIST STILL, INI HAVE AN WILL..OUR HAND WAS MADE STRONG...

"Therefore, from what we experience and see daily, many Black people who are growing more conscious like myself express their anger."
yes sistren, an it is INI RIGHT to express anger from INI consciouness upon finding truth!!! But it is only positive if INI USE DI ANGER IN AN UPFULL AN POSITIVE WAY..NEGATIVITY BREEDS NEGATIVITY, JUS LOOK PON DI BOARD, WHAN ONES POST WHITE PRIVILEDGE POSTS EXCETERA, HOW ONES OF LIKE MINDED GOALS ARE SPLIT IN HALF..is di I familiar wid di motto "united we stand but divided we fall"?

"It means we are reclaiming our power. I encourage Blacks to allow themselves to be angry as to feel more and regain their personal power."
Sis, I woman have NEVER lost powah, an in order to regain, ones haffi loose it..If I felt powerless, I would never made it dis far..di trod has been so rocky, full of trials an tribulation fi sure! If deh is ones who lost dis powah, I encourage dem fi seek Jah, fi wisdom an fi restoration..He leads INI beside still waters, an therefore allows INI to regain powah an strength.

"Next, we have to draw this anger inward to heal ourselves consciously."
WELL SAID SISTREN..GIVE THANKS..

"...change the outside world that has been violating us for 400 years." An deh is many ways fi ones to CHANGE DI WORLD, NUH TRUE.

" If Blacks resist this intense sensation they are experiencing, they will have more pain. So, we must learn to listen to this feeling that is part of a powerful flow of energy that will enrich our lives."
Generalizations about people an deh intentions however will do nothing to help what pain INI experience..it is not powah, but negative energy we are going to spew forth to a people dat will learn more from love den chastizemant..

"Similarly, if White conscious seekers do not allow themselves to feel the anger of Blacks in their lives thoughtfully, they will never experience and release their own conscious or unconscious racist emotional blocks" IF ONES CYAANT EXPERIENCE DI PLIGHT OF MAN WHO HAS BEEN THRU IT, HOW WILL DEM EVER 'RELEASE'??? EXPERIENCEING SOME ONE ELSES ANGER WILL NOT PROVIDE RELEASE SISTREN..it is wid Love an Encouragemant dat MAN UNKIND will learn..

"and learn to live in a more enlightened compassionate way."
YES SIS, alla we NEED FI LIVE IN DIS WAY..FI TRUE!! DAT IS WHY INI ARE HEAR, BLACK WHITE, ETC

"Personal responsibility is the hallmark of successful living for all human beings on this planet because a substantial healing only occur when people are willing to hear their inner and other people feelings. " YES SISTREN, PERSONAL..RASPONSIBILITY...IT IS PERSONAL, AN CYAANT BE GENERALIZED..EACH ONE IN HIS OWN TIME, AN DO NOT BE FOOLED DAT INI DO NOT NEED FI TEK RASPONSIBILTY FI INI BREDRIN AN SISTREN AS WELL...

GIVE THANKS SISTREN,
in His Light an Love
kaya I
