Decolonizing the African mind has become the most urgent task that now needs to be done if there is to be any meaningful reparations. What will it take to accomplish this most sacred mission? It means curing the broken slave of TRUTH ALLERGIES.

  1. Hmmmm…….start wrong end wrong…. Africa is a continent consisting of tribes….which tribes are being referred to as many were not colonialised.
    Homogeneity does not exist on the African continent.

    Which has nothing to do with the tads at hand…Vincent the African “specialist”…

    ……the task at hand is to get African BLOOD people world wide to understand the TRUTH about themselves, their history and exceptional abilities and not the tissues of lies you and your ilk would love to continue feeding them….even after centuries.

    Got it now.., African BLOOD people have to recognize the lies they have been forced to live and stop living in denial of those lies….learn to embrace the truth, something like what I told Pedant today, who would never want to face that truth on his own….and would attack me first instead of facing his own reality, but I don’t play those games.

    Something you can never understand…so dont try.

    But African BLOOD people have nothing to do with varieties of blood…it is way out of your realm of understanding, ya cant twist this one into what ya think it should be, because you cannot understand it…..

  8. WW has Mugabe taken up your offer to move in, I hear he is looking for new digs. Do you not see a parallel between you guys and them they kicked the whites off the farms you the govt and in both cases it has been a total cock-up.


  9. Before this topic is hijacked, a BU disclosure.

    The BU household (those who manage BU as distinct from the general body of contributors we refer to as BU family)sees it as important to constantly highlight our Blackness and our African heritage because of the ease with which some of us are prepared to go with the flow as far as surrendering to the eurocentric and other non African influencers at play. We must never forget and it is in this regard Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo et al will always be favorably remembered by the BU household.

    Actually great respect is being shown to Mugabe as he deserves for the freedom fighter he was…that will never be reversed, will never change, he freed Zimbabwe from animals like Ian Smith and british savagery and despite what happened in later years, he opened the eyes of Zimbabwans. ..that can never be reversed…..he is being allowed to leave with his dignity. ..that cannot be reversed…

    A small group of whites took to the streets of Zimbabwe yesterday and it did not go down well with the Black majority who made it kbown that they should be chased off the streets….so that’s ya answer Lawson.

    Zimbabwe is very resource rich and will bounce right back…led by HER people.

    The African BLOOD movement is growing significantly as consciousness and deeper awareness in the young generation are now the driving force. ..that bond cannot be broken…not by eurocentric savagery……and definitely not by eurocentic demons labeling it racism……the demons must be aware that the spiritual was never meant for them to understand or translate.

    Maybe the blogmaster willl indulge a second blog named….The Demon in YOUR Mentality….for the Vincents, 45fraudsters, those possessed by demons and believe Blacks are still property and demons are entitled to enrich themselves from their very existence.

    The spirits are sayong NO and demons cannot say yes.

    These leaders and their books, that I read as a child….should be required reading in ALL schools in Barbados and the Caribbean.

    It is not Black people’s job to forget the past….but to remember…every day, ya got it, no forgetting.

    Just like Native Canadians will never forget that yall thieves are squatting on their lands and those spirits will reclaim what is rightfully theirs.

    What was wiped completely from the memory of Caribbean people is that Europeans cannot win any spiritual battles with African BLOOD people, but life being the bitch it is….the memory returned, so the battle is on…

    …..that is what they fear and want Blacks in the Caribbean not to remember, the natural born spiritual strength that resides in the DNAs of African BLOOD people..

    Lawson……when Bajans are able to tear the minority parasites off their skins…they can move on…in grand style, but first they gotta get rid of them and the corrupt policians who collude and work in conjunction with each other to tief from the people….

    …….here is where the spiritual movement came in to expose both sets of fleas, ticks and parasites…in human form.

    Have you ever seen any dog or cat with ticks or flees sucking away at it…..move on anywhere…..how the hell ya expect it to move on with fleas and ticks sucking at the source……

    The parasites are now exposed, everyone knows who they are……it took a decade of broken records to expose them all….

    …… next step, get rid of every one of them completely out of the lives of Bajan and Caribbean people…then the population can move on….finally, but there is still a way to go….more education needed in the populi.

    It’s the responsibility of Caribbean people to be aware of any intent to continue or reintroduce any levels of mental or physical enslavement and immediately expose the criminal perpetrators to the region and the world….via social media…because it’s quicker and then through international agencies…give up the names of wannabe slave masters to the world so they can be chased out of the societies. ..with their savagery.

    …..as I said previously, Bajans are particularly vulnerable because of their slave like sheep mentality toward minorities, whites etc and the house negro mentalities of their greedy, corrupt leaders, ministers, politicians…this cannot be repeated enough.

    It’s called farm working, but it’s slavery…ask any farm worker who goes to Canada and they will tell you about the slave like conditions and treatment…and the shithound Caribbean governments accept this for their people

    “The African Union (AU) has expressed outrage after footage emerged appearing to show sub-Saharan migrants being sold at slave markets in Libya
    .
    On the video, released by CNN this week, young men are seen being auctioned off as farm workers.
    The AU chairman, President Alpha Conde of Guinea, demanded prosecutions over a “despicable” trade “from another era”.

    Migrants trying to reach Europe have spoken of being held by smugglers and forced to work for little or no money.

    The footage released by CNN appears to show youths from Niger and other sub-Saharan countries being sold to buyers for about $400 (£300) at undisclosed locations in Libya.

    “These modern slavery practices must end and the African Union will use all the tools at its disposal,” Mr Conde said.

    Libya has opened an investigation into the practice, CNN reported on Friday.

    Many thousands of migrants each year try to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean
    In April, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said it had gathered evidence of slavery in Libya.

    African migrants ‘sold in slave markets’
    The IOM’s chief of mission for Libya, Othman Belbeisi, told the BBC at the time that migrants were priced according to their abilities.

    “Apparently they don’t have money and their families cannot pay the ransom, so they are being sold to get at least a minimum benefit from that,” he said.

    “The price is definitely different depending on your qualifications, for example if you can do painting or tiles or some specialised work then the price gets higher.”

    A noble cause to highlight the true historical facts of the many great Kingdoms,Empires,Tribes and Individuals who have inhabited the African continent and who have left many legacies for the world.

    The main legacy being its tribes’ constant movement out of Africa as well as back to Africa over millenia,thereby populating the world with present day Homo Sapiens who all share the same basic DNA and blood varieties.Present day Humans vary in pigment and the greatness of Africa is being done an injustice by the term black to define it as it is the mother of all present day ethnic groupings.

    Todays knowledge had its roots in ancient Timbuctoo,Zimbabwe and Kemet which was hijacked by the Greeks and Romans,some add the Chinese to that mix as well.

    This sort of sharing of factual information is long overdue and will help remove the rose tinted lenses some BU family members view Africa through,believing it is some dark homogeneous utopian mythical country of milk&honey.

    Those commenting from this area are mainly descended from the west African tribes and should not keep referring to their ancestors as Africans but with due deference by their tribe or region.This can be ascertained by DNA testing which will indicate your tribal/location percentage.

    We need to understand and respect our once great ancient ancestral civilisation of Mali which is roughly where most our ancestors would have come from,this was a great Empire which sadly by the 15th century had broken up into squabling Niger delta kingdoms reduced to selling kith&kin to earn a living,which is where and how we the progeny of once great Kings have entered the modern picture.


  21. TTwo excerpts….sharing the known facts pertaining to the Matabeleland massacre

    by Alistair Boddy-Evans
    Updated October 22, 2016

    Gukurahundi refers to the attempted genocide of the Ndebele by Robert Mugabe’s Fifth Brigade soon after Zimbabwe gained independence. Beginning in January 1983, Mugabe waged a campaign of terror against the people in Matabeleland in the western part of the country. The Gukurahundi massacres is one of the darkest times in the country’s history since its independence — between 20,000 and 80,000 civilians were killed by the Fifth Brigade.

    Th Explicit Orders of Mugabe

    Mugabe has revealed little since the 1980s and what he has said was a mixture of denial and obfuscation, as reported in 2015 by TheGuardian.com in the article “New documents claim to prove Mugabe ordered Gukurahundi killings.” The closest he came to officially taking responsibility was after Nkomo died in 1999. Mugabe then described the early 1980s as a “moment of madness” – an unclear statement that he has never repeated.

    During an interview with a South African talk show host, Mugabe blamed the Gukurahundi murders on armed bandits that were coordinated by Zapu and a few Fifth Brigade soldiers.

    However, recorded correspondence from his colleagues reveal that in fact “not only was Mugabe fully aware of what was going on” but the Fifth Brigade was acting “under Mugabe’s explicit orders.”

    No one is prepared to tolerate mental or physical enslavement or exploitation anymore….anywhere…not in Barbados or anywhere else…this should be taught in schools…and made mandatory learning.

    Let the minorities get their lazy asses up and go look for real jobs cleaning toilets or something…being slave masters, overseers and managers pushing Black people around… are NOT real jobs.

    As African leaders are angrily saying, it’s been reduced to criminality…although once glorified…..

  26. @Vincent

    Unfortunately discussions about race becomes an emotional issue for many and the ability to be dispassionate is left outside. More and more even as we become educated the issue of race grows as a wedge between people of different backgrounds. What does it tell us? The adversarial and emotional approach will not cut it. We have to understand and give a little on both sides. Of course the race issue is muddied by class structures that exist today anchored in the origin of slavery. This is the problem we face.

    It helps others for you to share your personal thoughts as well. Cutting and pasting is simply about the opinions of others. By all means refer to the views of others by it helps the discussion to apply your interpretation and state relevance.

    If Africa is willing to prosecute modern day slavery and rid the continent of all slavery and exploitation…..so should the Caribbean….so should Barbados….it is a blight.., a curse on humanity and is being recognized as such…everywhere.

    The UK claimed they are fighting it in UK, well imodern day slavery should not be a practice or staple in the Caribbean either, perpetrated by foreign or local business people or anyone else.

    Yes….we keep muddying the waters with skintones all the time and leave out the inter personal dynamics at play based on the past,birth and societal norms
    e.g. the indian caste system.

    The above were my personal thoughts compressed in a bite size piece based on my own interest from a very early age into the origins of humans and their love of brutality.

    I generally share other peoples opinions who have done the research like me but have loads of letters behind their names which makes them more acceptable.

    “Zimbabwe’s ruling party has sacked Robert Mugabe as its leader, as pressure intensifies for him to step down as president.

    Zanu-PF appointed ex-Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was fired by Mr Mugabe two weeks ago, in his place.

    The party has given Mr Mugabe, 93, until 10:00 GMT on Monday to resign as president, or face impeachment.

    The military intervened last week, in an apparent attempt to block him from installing his wife as his successor.

    The first lady, Grace Mugabe, and several other senior officials have been expelled from the party altogether.

    Tens of thousands of Zimbabweans attended street protests on Saturday, demonstrating against the Mugabes.”

    How colonial violence came home: the ugly truth of the first world war

    The Great War is often depicted as an unexpected catastrophe. But for millions who had been living under imperialist rule, terror and degradation were nothing new. By Pankaj Mishra

    Friday 10 November 2017 06.00 GMT Last modified on Monday 13 November 2017 09.40 GMT

    ‘Today on the Western Front,” the German sociologist Max Weber wrote in September 1917, there “stands a dross of African and Asiatic savages and all the world’s rabble of thieves and lumpens.” Weber was referring to the millions of Indian, African, Arab, Chinese and Vietnamese soldiers and labourers, who were then fighting with British and French forces in Europe, as well as in several ancillary theatres of the first world war.

    Faced with manpower shortages, British imperialists had recruited up to 1.4 million Indian soldiers. France enlisted nearly 500,000 troops from its colonies in Africa and Indochina. Nearly 400,000 African Americans were also inducted into US forces. The first world war’s truly unknown soldiers are these non-white combatants.

    Ho Chi Minh, who spent much of the war in Europe, denounced what he saw as the press-ganging of subordinate peoples. Before the start of the Great War, Ho wrote, they were seen as “nothing but dirty Negroes … good for no more than pulling rickshaws”. But when Europe’s slaughter machines needed “human fodder”, they were called into service. Other anti-imperialists, such as Mohandas Gandhi and WEB Du Bois, vigorously supported the war aims of their white overlords, hoping to secure dignity for their compatriots in the aftermath. But they did not realise what Weber’s remarks revealed: that Europeans had quickly come to fear and hate physical proximity to their non-white subjects – their “new-caught sullen peoples”, as Kipling called colonised Asians and Africans in his 1899 poem The White Man’s Burden.
