A Fire to Catch!

I think its funny how Black History Month is overshadowed by Valentines Day.  If  some of the Real Leaders of the Black race were alive would they tolerate such an injustice??? The purpose of Black History month is to pay homage to those who refused to be coons and jiggaboos, individuals who put the quest for equality for all over their individual indulges. I recall a saying my uncle would use......"they don't make nicas like they use too!" 


I think most of the black entertainers, journalist, athletes, executives, politicians etc. are in the business of trapping average minded blacks in a metaphorical Matrix! Its no surprise that these occupations pay very well, reason being the individuals who comprise this group are the most influential. What we watch, hear, read, believe and even dream. 

I wish I could have chilled with Bob Marley. Although I consider myself a christian maybe not the best but I really believe Bob Marley was a gift from a higher power. Its funny to see some people attempt to dilute his blackness with statements like "he was half white and Jamaican." I know too funny. Im assuming the one drop theory is void under some circumstances i.e. Obama, Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Halle Berry(sometimes), Maria Carey(not anymore).  Truth be told in the country "formally" known as the melting pot we are all biracial! 

In the song "WAR" by Bob Marley he recites the words of one of the most powerful speeches this world has ever heard.
