Why is Jamaica so poor?

I could give your the historical, economic, and geopolitical answer, but you can get the by watching Life & Debt.  Or you can read Walter Rodney, or Karl Marx, or anyone who’s honest about the agendas and effects of colonialism and capitalism.  So, I’m gonna penetrate a little deeper.Jamaica is poor because Black people across the globe have surrendered our own definition of wealth; or more directly put: we are poor because we...

lmao you should look on son of baldwin’s facebook where he reposted your Sandra Bland manifesto. he’s dope and cosigned it but the comment sections is fuckin full of #NN saying shit like “but this wont do anything!! i need to keep buying nike U HYPOCRITE CAUSE U ALSO USE PRODUCT and capitalism” and also the usual crackers

It wasn’t really a manifesto, the I suggestions there really basic group actions that many other groups employ on a regular basis, even without atrocities being committed against them. The sad fact is, when you are dealing with a backwards people, one forward step seems Radical, or Impossible.  I ignore the Whites, they are just spewing their own indoctrination.  Like they have time to be arguing about our issues while their own White Elites...

I thank you for your consistency, knowledge and wisdom. I agree with your assessment of Fuller and Welsing’s use of the term “white supremacy”. It distorts what supremacy really is, yet everyone in academia, uses that phrasing. Furthermore, Mr.Fuller and Dr. Welsing seem to ascribe way too much power to the white supremacist. I get why they do it, to sort of jolt black folk out of their slumber, but they also seem to make black(and non-black colored folk for that matter) especially powerless.

Word.I think we have to remember that their works were developed between the 1950s and 1980s, and they were groundbreaking for their era.  The best way to pay homage to our scholars, philosophers, and social critics is not by dogmatically ingesting and regurgitating their works, but critically understanding them, building on their foundations, and making the needed adjustments and modifications to their ideas.  I appreciate their works, they...

In addition to other activities, I frequently read your blogs to reverse/undo the eurocentric information/perspective indoctrination I’ve underwent majority of my life. I am extremely bothered, aware and uncomfortable with the state of my subconscious because it wasn’t cultivated/grounded in Pan-Africanist/Revolutionary ideology. I understand there isn’t one answer to my question but what would you advise I/others do to counteract the psychological colonization we’ve been subjected to?

A healthy mind is fed by appropriate action, and appropriate actions is sustained by a healthy mind.  Resistance is the only path to mental health for Black people, that’s it.  If we are not engaged in Revolutionary Resistance to the Systems and Institutions of White Domination, then we are insane; we are mentally ill, mentally enslaved, or whatever we wanna call it.  Franz Fanon laid it all out in The Wretched of the Earth; he articulated...

Would all european countries look and be in the same situation like Greece or even worse if africa would stop supplying natural resources to europe ?

First, African isn’t supplying resources to Europe, any more than a rape victim is “supplying” sexual services to a rapist.  African is being robbed of its resources by Europeans and Asians with the aid of the treasonous African Elites.If you wanna know what Europe looks like when it’s cut off from African’s resources, just review the history of the (European) Dark Ages.
