  1. For all the reasons Deion Sanders took a role at Jackson State then left for Colorado pretty much sums our unification predicament up.
  2. Thanks @Pioneer1. Yes, I forgot about the Samurai. You are right! Also, I remember that movie now. It was called, Iron Monkey, I think! And, the term Monk and 'Key' in ancient times meant 'an Original Monk', however, this too became derogatory much later in time. --monkey--
  3. Obviously you are believing in false information @Pioneer1 Haitians are said to practice the Catholic religion and Voudun widely. Ethiiopia is the only country that was not colonized and the video reference I posted talked about this. Many Ethiopians practice the Abrahamic religion; COPTIC. Italy attempted 2 full scale invasions in Ethiopia and the video I posted highlighted this. One main reason the Ethiopians were successful, it was explained was that they were widely united and their religion did not hamper their goal. That is the one issue, I believe will cause African people a continual problem for most, in that, they constantly attack each other and attempt to force their religious beliefs on others. Religious beliefs is a human right and if a person's religion gives them the right to attack others and attempt to force it on others, then that should not be allowed. That should be a freedom of choice. I am very pessimistic about Black Unity and this is one issue that I believe will continue to cause division; RESPECT. As a Christian, I absolutely believe in the scriptures in that we all must unify and be ONE BODY, however, as the scriptures say, this unity will happened but it will not occur for about a thousand years and not until Black-on-Black Hatred and disrespect of others becomes rooted out. No, that is not true. That is false information. Papa Doc, yes, he was a Voudon but, his methods were brutal with his bogeyman guards. TOUSSAINT LOVERTURE was a devout CATHOLIC!!! He was successful in what led up to Haiti's freedom and not by voodoo or majic. I believe that the slaves did what they could to deal with so much violence and the magic was beneficial for them. However, the slavery could never occur without Black-on-Black violence and what is going on right now, is an effect of that same system of disrespect, IMO.
  4. Such a terrible situation... Where are these gangs getting all of these weapons and ammunition? We just gave Russia back an arms dealer in exchange for a sister they jammed to use as a bargaining chip (or so it seems). Interestingly, the media pay so much attention to Kyrie's tweet that the situation in Haiti isn't even part of the daily discourse. Thanks for bringing this to the fore @Chevdove.
  5. I am amazed that reparations were paid to slave owners, to compensate them for their loss of income.
