Reparations discourses are merely a continuation of the structure of Whiteness.
Cases to comtemplate.
While the European Unión is paying lip service to and providing cover for the continuation of a White supremacist logic, the actual war on Afrika, long declared, for her resources, moves ahead at pace on all fronts.
Why appear to be interested in repairing anything when the same kind of imperial war is also renewed against Russia? Russia a country with the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. The White people seems to have lost their fear of these.
Even with their house niggers like Hilary Beckles and Mia Mottley in tow, waxing poetically as they provide window dressing, cast sand into the eyes of the blind, the wars for resources continue at a heightened tempo. Reparations?
Is not the presence of a Donald Drumpf nakedly exposing the same racist logic as endemic to American society? Drumpf, in an unashamed manner, not only denies justice to peoples of colour within America, but abroad, like King Leopold of Belgian, has a foreign policy informed by the notion that making America great is the same as making himself and White people rich beyond all previous norms from the wealth of the rest of us.
Beckles, Mottley and all those who currently appear to be wearing tinted glasses are purposefully, and again, misleading the Afrikan peoples of the world with another Santa Claus story. Another trinket! Another Y2K propaganda project which has enveigled Afrikan peoples almost everywhere.
These reparations discourses were around for a long time. Not unlike the case of the Mutual Affair, or the socalled pantheon of national heroes/heroines, it took a useful lackey, like a Hilary Beckles and a Black woe unto man, like a Mia Mottley, having nothing of substance to deliver to their people, to “rediscover” reparations as their global raison detre.
The real discourses for reparations will only truly start when the most powerful weapons of war begin to rain on the places where White people live.
For only fools would suppose that those who fought for melenia to construct the world in their image, largely with the liberal application of violence, will surrender all their gains, entirely based on the pleadings of the weak minded.
You want reparations? Let them deconstruct their primary and imposed god business first. Let their Jehovah be globally denounced and sent the way of the dodo bird. Let the Vatican be destroyed. Let us have daily bonfires of bible burnings. And their churches too. For these will go much further than the pleadings of international beggars like Beckles and Mottley.
Burkino Faso over the last few days expelled French diplomats and ended its relationships with France.
Little Napoleonic Macron, the French dictator of the Vichy type, and the other EU leaders seem to be good friends with Mia Mottley. It causes wonder how reparations and France’s determination to operate as if Afrikan countries are merely overseas provinces of France, like Martinique, Goudeloupe and others, when empire exist.
On the other side of the equation, the expulsión of France, which started soon after the Sahelian Revolutions, from the wider Sahel region has had enormous economic repercussions in France. Even when France had a large presence in the Sahel and the countries’ resources were being stolen, the Afrikan countries were in the dark by night, even as France was being powered by the vast resources of Niger’s uranium.
Observers see this expulsión as the first in several more steps within a process of entirely ousting France from the entire Sahel under the wider AES confederation grouping of Faso, Níger and Mali.
The reason. It has been clear for quite some time that France is the leading sponsor of state terrorism against Faso and its allies. And it has so done long before the Sahelian Revolutions. Since their expulsion, monumental advances to recover the territory of Faso once held by French sponsored terrorists have been made. France must be coming to a decisión that the failure of its terrorists may require an old imperial war of reconquest.
France, a “former” empire which controlled 25 of the current 54 countries in Afrika. And which up to this day under a criminal financial system called the CFA franc continues to be as colonial today as it was 300 years ago. Here we have parralells between how France operate with the Burkinabe and how America relates to Barbados.
Under the CFA franc, Afrikan countries were the preserve of French companies. Francophone Afrikan countries were bound to keep all their reserves in the French central bank. To the extent that national budgets for these nations were determined in París, using their own money. This is still operative today, for 15 countries, less the Sahel three.
In graduate shool people teach how the best analysis is done by considering and weighing all pertinent factors. Given this baseline, the circumstances where powers are going to all ends and means to maintain domination for economic advantage, how could reparations, as defined by its leading advocates be a serious proposition.
We are being lied to again! For at best, a bone maybe thrown here and another thrown there. One to Mottley, one to Beckles, like has happened before. However, a new round of chattle slavery or techno-fuedalism are both much more possible than any resources based reparations for the first bout of enslavement.
France Afrique!
Both Ras Jahaziel and Pachamama have been radical from birth,
but is ok to counter their points without disrespecting their views,
Blacks have been primed that they are not as smart as whites,
Whites have been primed they are smarter than blacks.
Whites think it is their legacy to be ivy league students
and to be managers however bad they are
They’re taking advantage of the situation
Blacks do the work whites get the promotion
Ras’ video is giving black youts a hard time & should go easy on em
Pacha (like most Bajans) equates Reparations to Hilary Beckles
when it is not about Sir Hilary who writes up the History of Slavery
that the white folks want to erase
These are the people Beckles and Mottley want to convince us will ever pay reparations.
How is it possible to avoid the conclusion that this reparations gig is a grift, a con job!
No wonder they must continue to rob Afrika.
The very fact that ANY black person would even pursue ANY KIND of monetary compensation for the 400 years of satanic debauchery, cruelty, exploitation, and INHUMANITY that our fore parents were FORCED to endure … is downright sickening to a bushman.
What the Hell!
How much dollars will compensate for those 400 years of torment?
How much will you accept for your OWN ancestors LIFETIME of slavery?
$100million?
$10 Trillion?
…or like true Parros, should we accept $100,000 – so we can buy a damn BMW?
Shiite!!
Have we no shame AT ALL?
Reparations are a MUST! This is unquestionable!
However the SCALE of repayments that are due is well above ANYTHING that BB clowns are able to even IMAGINE, – far less to quantify and execute.
We have not even been able to come to grips with our INTRINSIC value as God’s original, chosen people – pimping as we have been, behind the materialistic albino-centric values of the hopeless.
Steupsss!
Mother Karma, the UNSTOPPABLE dispenser of reparations, will VERY SHORTLY be dealing with the SPECIFIC situation of the Atlantic Slave Trade travesty…
Having now essentially completed the due reparations for the prior Trans Sahara 1300-year version of systemic inhumanity.
It will be DREAD inna Babylon….It is already hot…
What a time to be around!!
@Bush Tea
Is it about money, or using money to hold the actors in the slave trade to account; atonement.
“Is it about money”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exactly!
But how do you ‘hold someone to account’ on THEIR own terms?
Those demons could EASILY print $500 MEGGAZILLION fiat dollars and give in ‘reparations’.
…That’s like throwing Br’er Rabbit into the briar patch….
Would this then make all things right?
Whereas it SHOULD be about JUSTICE and righteousness.
But then, the love of money is the root of all evil.
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money.
The clearest ‘mark of the beast’ is the endemic love of money.
Steupsss…
Pacha and Bob Marley are both right…
When you check out the real situation…
Ain’t no use
No one can stop them now
What a time nuh!!
When I was born there was a peaceful spiritual vibration of love and equal rights for humankind which spread around the world and empowered negro freedom fighters in America to fight for most basic of rights like voting and integration removing the racial segregation in diners, schools, libraries, swimming pools, water fountains, parks, public land and communities.
As I grew older one thing lead to another and the discussion was about South Africa
The Musical Battle Time Bomb to Rule the Nation was Zulu Dawn down in South Africa Babylon.
Truth and Rights are Universal
Me no like how the rich nations rape the poor nations
It is time to take your stand again
Reparations ain’t for old complacent Negroes,
it is for youths* and youths youths knowledge, wisdom and understanding
(*) black, brown, red, yellow, white skin and mixed youths
We know what are fighting for
Equal rights and justice
Stand firm and remember the freedom fighters of the ‘Zulu Dawn’ in South Africa.
They kill one Zulu
Ten Zulu born
They kill ten Zulu
Ten million Zulu bornLook over yonder as far as the eyes can see
Zulu warriors coming to rescue me
Hotter the battle the sweeter the victory
My weapon, lightning and thunder brimstone and fireZulu Dawn Again
Fight to the last man
Rastafarian looks to appeal decision
It’s off to the Court of Appeal for Paul Leonard “Simba” Rock as he looks to challenge a judge’s dismissal yesterday of the suit he had brought in relation to the Sacramental Cannabis Act.
“I just came from the Legal Aid office and my lawyer (Lalu Hanuman) says we have 28 days to appeal and I’m very interested to hear what will be the rationale for the denial,” he said.
Rock had filed a constitutional motion arguing that he should be allowed the right to smoke marijuana in his home as part of his religious ceremonies.
Through his attorney Hanuman, the Rastafarian argued the 2019 Sacramental Cannabis Act was a breach of his constitutional right to worship in terms of his right to religious belief and the right to freedom of association.
The Sacramental Cannabis Act allows for the smoking of marijuana during religious practice in a registered place of worship and states that “a person who is an adherent of the Rastafarian religion shall, in the enjoyment of his freedom of religion, be permitted to use cannabis as a sacrament in an assembly of, or in association with, other Rastafarians in a place of worship in accordance with the provisions of this Act”.
Yesterday Justice Michelle Weekes, who presided in the No. 8 Supreme Court, noted Rock had raised the issue of the constitutionality of the Drug Use Prevention and Control Act, as well as Sacramental Cannabis Act.
“Having regard to all the pleadings filed together with the written submissions and, having heard the oral submissions, the court makes the following order [that] the claimant’s case regarding the constitutionality of the Drug Use Prevention and Control Act and the Sacramental Cannabis Act
is dismissed,” the judge said.
“It follows that the declarations sought in respect of the same acts are denied,” the judge added.
She then indicated the court would hear submissions on costs at a later date.
Deputy Solicitor General Marsha Lougheed, Sir Elliott Mottley, KC, as well as attorneys Noah Haynes and Keshawn Wood represented the Attorney General.
Speaking immediately after the decision, Hanuman said he was disappointed but not surprised at the decision.
“Anything that challenges the status quo is always subject to a certain element of unpredictability, so I’m not surprised, really,” he said.
“The client has already gone off to the Legal Aid office so we can appeal it. Obviously we don’t know the reasons. The reasons will be given later so we don’t have the grounds of appeal yet but we will be appealing,” he added.
Rock, who said he did not “feel good about the decision”, questioned why the reasons for the decision did not accompany the judgement.
He charged that all the delays in the matter were at the hands of the Attorney General and added: “It made me feel that it was stacked against the Rastafari community.”
