Greetings On
Line Family:
I received an
interesting e-mail from one of our on-line family and I just had
to share it with you because it makes a lot of sense. I'm
sure it was a joke, but there is a whole lot of reality in it,
and a lot of things I have been saying for years.
Check it out below, and hopefully you will see some of these
realities.
The
KKK Disbands: Leaves Their Job To Black Folks
The KKK leader stepped to the podium, his hood lowered
around his shoulders and a look of disgust on his face.
He said, "Sorry guys but this will be our
last meeting; we're going out of business."
A member stood up in back. "But why sir?"
The leader sighed, "Well, reverend, the niggers are
doing a better job getting rid of themselves than we
ever did, so we are no longer needed."
There were rumblings and protest. The leader raised his
hand to silence the Klan members, and said, "Their
rap music says more vile things about black women than
we ever thought of."
The members grudgingly nodded in approval. The Imperial
Dragon continued: " And their women write books and
make songs that demean black men better than my two
speech writers ever could, looking down at two men
seated in front who lowered their heads.
"They shoot each other constantly ", he
continued;" And as a group, they spend a huge
amounts of money on cars, liquor, that stuff they call
bling bling, and the proliferation of rap music -- as
they talk about all that shit in their magazines -- and
nobody needs us to talk about how a lot of their sorry
asses keep playing the race and victim cards while
complaining that other groups are surpassing them in
economic development and supposedly getting more
attention in schools. Hell, they even support a
so-called "Black Hair" DVD that a white man is
making money on , in four sequels at $20.00 a pop,
talking about how Koreans have taken over the
"black hair" industry without acknowledging
that Black entrepreneurs had 100 years to get a monopoly
or intrenchment in the industry that Madam C.J Walker founded 100 years ago, but got out-hustled and out-strategized
while spending investment capital elsewhere. Let's face
it, they're being hoisted by their own petards."
Some members went looking for dictionaries, while most
members nodded as it hit them that their job was
finished; that blacks had become their own worst enemy.
The leader shook his head. "It's time to go back to
our regular lives as policemen, judges and congressmen,
and leave the business of getting rid of niggers to
niggers. They are just better at it than us."
He then threw his hood on the ground and walked off the
stage. Thus ended the last KKK meeting. |
As you must know from my
commentaries, in Washington DC for most of the summer there has
been a crime emergency in the city. This is not the first
time this has been put into place (crime emergency), but it's
starting to get pretty tired, and that's one of the things the
article above refers too...Black people killing one
another. Every day you turn on the news and there are
stories about young black people being killed throughout the
city and suburbs, and I'm sure we are only hearing about the
ones who are killed, but not the ones who are wounded or the
ones who are mentally traumatized by the effects that this has
on our community. These images that we see in the media
are very negative and gives our whole race a PR Problem.
How long will it continue? I am "sick and tired of
being sick and tired" talking about it and hearing about
it, so we must find a solution to these problems.
Many of the things we are doing
to ourselves are things the KKK has done to our ancestors, now
instead of uplifting ourselves, families and friends, we have
fallen into this trap that has been set, and there is no reason
for us to fall into this trap, because we all have the same
opportunities (which our fathers, mothers, grandfathers and
grandmothers have struggled and died for).
The unemployment rate is low in
the Washington DC area, and it's actually one of the richest
areas in the country. Our children all have the
opportunity to attend schools for free, everyone has food on
their tables, everyone has a TV, and all the luxuries that are
available to us as Americans. Did you know that the
poorest people in America lived in homes with more living space
than middle class people in many other countries? Did you
also know most of the people in America that lives under the
poverty level all have televisions, all have food, cell phones,
and clothes? This is more than what can be said about
what's happening in other countries around the world. So
there is no reason for us to shoot and kill one
another.
Again, I say it all starts at
home, we have lots of broken homes, single family parents, and
many of the parents have grown up a part of the hip hop
generation and the images that their Children see at home are
the garbage that they call music and videos now-a-days. I
know ART imitates LIFE, but there is more to life than fighting,
killing, booty shaking, skimpy outfits, etc...etc...etc.
What's amazing to me is many of the young children growing up
now-a-days instead of wanting to be doctors or lawyers, they
would much rather be strippers, video chicks or pimps, simply
because that is what they see glorified through the music and
videos.
Also, another reason for the escalation
of crime and killings is what's happening in the world.
Our children are taught by example, when you have the President
of the United States get on TV making statements like "we
are going to hunt them down and kill them" (mind you I like
our President), and maybe his statements are true, but sometimes
a statement like that can be more destructive than
helpful. Let's not forget the Vice President of the United
States mistakenly shoots his friend in the face. Yes, they
say it was an accident, but what do you think would happen to
you if you shot someone in the face. I don't think you
would have an opportunity to leave the scene and then
explain. You would be trying to explain from inside a jail
cell, and if you've ever been there then you know they don't
listen very well. These are the leaders, if they can make
these type of statements and commit these types of acts, why
can't we?
Personally, the media has a lot
to do with many of the problems we have today, just think about
all the outlets we have now-a-days for news. News is
constantly on TV, in the past we really only got the news at
6:00 pm, now it's on all day long and seeing these images
plays a part in shaping our young people's minds. Many of
these children since they come from single family homes or homes
where parents must work very hard and long hours to provide the
luxuries that they are accustomed to, there only friend is the
TV, and they are left with no one to explain what they are
seeing, so this becomes their reality.
Just last week I was having a
discussion with a few of my friends about teenagers and
working. It's funny in Prince George's county Maryland
(where I grew up many years ago), now instead of seeing teenagers
working in the fast food restaurants, you now see adults working
in these establishments, mostly Hispanic adults unable to speak English.
These were jobs that teenagers had, I remember when we turned 16
we could not wait to get an after school job or a summer job,
but you don't see that anymore. Why is this? One of
the things that was brought to my attention by my friends who
have children is that teenagers don't leave the house, they stay
inside and play video games and watch TV. This is not a
healthy childhood, and work ethic has to be developed at a young
age, else you will not have one.
I thought this was how it was
everywhere now-a-days, but since I have moved out of PG County
into a racially diverse community, everything is just like it
was 20 years ago. You go to the fast food restaurants and
you see teenagers working, you drive through the neighborhoods
and you see children playing (which is something I barely ever
saw in PG County.) So the problem is not the whole world,
the problem is clearly just us!!!
The solution is very clear, most
of these crimes that are perpetrated in our cities are being
committed by youths. All youths are looking for is some
attention and guidance, and all you parents out there, you are
the first step in giving them this attention and guidance.
Remember, you decided to bring them into the world (one way or
another), so as soon as you make that decision, you have got to
be ready to make sacrifices, so this means you have got to find
the time to give your children the guidance and attention that
is necessary. You have got to teach them to respect each
other, love each other, work together. Only you can teach
them this, you can't expect teachers to do it, nor can you
expect the television to teach them...ONLY YOU CAN!!! I am
very concerned about our future generation, because many people
have fought and died for these opportunities and
freedoms.
Is there anything you want to
share with me to enlighten my thoughts on these problems?
Since I have no children (I am not ready to make that
sacrifice), I would like to know from those of you who are
parents, especially in the inner city and Prince George's
county, do teenagers look forward to getting after school jobs
and summer jobs when they turn 16? Do they play like we
used to? Those of you who are in other areas of the
country let me know if you are facing these same problems,
because there are solutions, and if any of you find it
important, we can work together to change things.
On a positive note I would like
to congratulate  Adrian Fenty on
his landslide victory in the DC Democratic Primary for Mayor of
Washington DC. He has a big job ahead of him, but he seems
to have a plan. I've had the opportunity to meet Mr. Fenty
on many occasions, and from the first time I met him I recall
saying that he is going to be the next Mayor of Washington
DC. Mr. Fenty is 35 years old and he has been the Ward 4
City Councilman for the last few years. One of his main
focus is the Schools and Education, which is very
important. I myself had the opportunity to visit the High
Schools in Washington DC over the summer, and something really
needs to be done to spruce up these buildings. First of
all, many of the newer school buildings look like they have been
designed by the same people who designs prisons. There are no
windows, you can hardly find the doors and they are very drab
concrete structures that are not welcoming or friendly. As
for the older buildings, they are in such disrepair that it is ridicules.
As you know they have installed metal detectors in many of the
schools, so when the students walk into the door, they are greeted
with a negative non-trusting vibe. I know this is probably
necessary, but there have got to be a better way. Another
thing Mr. Fenty has said is one of his first priorities is to
sit down and have a talk with Police Chief Ramsey, who has been
the chief for 9 years. Apparently, Mr. Fenty seems to
think he is not doing a very good job, so it seems as thought he
might be replaced, and I see why, because crime is out of
control in the city. Personally, I don't think it's the
Chief's fault. Hopefully, the two of them could sit down
and work out a plan that can diminish some of these
problems. At least Chief Ramsey has an idea of what is
happening in this city, and if they bring someone new at this
point he/she will be trying to figure out what is going on,
which will not solve the immediate problems. Mr. Fenty is
young and energetic and I'm sure he will be able to tackle this
big challenge ahead of him, as long as he does not get caught up
with the hype that goes along with the job. Good Luck to
Mr. Fenty!!!!
Before I close out, I just want
to let everyone know our annual trip to Miami for the 2
Carnivals are upon us. Columbus Day weekend, the Miami and
Broward Carnivals takes place. This is always a great
weekend in South Florida. Many people from around the
country converge on Dade and Broward Counties for a weekend of
Caribbean excitement. Last year we attended the Miami Carnival,
and this year I think we will check out the Broward as we did
several years ago. Both are usually well attended.
One thing I've noticed is a lot of people go to Miami because
it's the Caribbean weekend, but when they get there no one seems
to know where to go (where the parties are at). You turn
on the radio and of course since there is really no Caribbean
radio stations (other than the pirate radio stations which only
advertise events that they are affiliated with,), it's hard to
get an idea of all the things/events that are happening in the
two counties. So, if you are having an event, or if you
have a business in those areas please contact us because we are
offering a Carnival Special so that our on-line family will know
what to do when they arrive in your town.

As
you all were aware this past weekend was The Original Baltimore
Carnival, and we attended. I honestly don't have much to say about this
event, but I must recognize the efforts the Organizers have put
into making this possible. Good Job!!!!
We
also saw 3 of my favorite reggae artists this past weekend, Buju Banton,
Capleton and Gregory Isaacs, at the One Love Festival that took
place at Crossroads. Of course this show was great,
the attendance was overwhelming,
and the performers were outstanding as well. All I must
say about this event is that for a while we were a bit
disoriented and very disappointed about the support our
music receives by the poor attendance to the
shows. However, the attendance to this show proved
that the audience is still there, which we are truly
happy to see.
I got some
feedback from our on-line family about New York Carnival, and it
seems we are getting old and grumpy. Many folks said they
had a nice time. Of course lots of people were in
attendance and yes, there were lots of police and barricades,
but "in a nutshell" it was nice. Some negative
things transpired, but everyone felt it was good this year.
This
week I was a bit humbled, and for this I would like to "Big
Up" Mr. Keith Preddie one of my friends who I previously worked
with at DC Caribbean Carnival (board member). To Mr.
Keith Preddie, I thank you so much for taking such an
honest and bold stand, and most importantly for voicing your
positive opinions on my behalf.
Mr.
Keith Preddie would like all on our on-line family to
know about a tribute he has planned for one of our
friends - Pannist Micheal King, Former leader of T&T
Steel Orchestra. This tribute will take place on
October 1, 2006, here in DC at the Trinidad and Tobago
Club House, 5123 Georgia Avenue, N.W. Washington
DC. Look out for more details in the upcoming
weeks.

Synopsis
Johnny
(Vinnie Jones), trying to escape a violent
past in Ireland, hides out in Brixton, London,
in the world’s least-safe safe house,
sandwiched between a drug den run by a
Jamaican gangster (Eriq La Salle) and a pirate
radio station belonging to a Rasta DJ (Lennox
Lewis) .When Johnny’s former comrade
(Patrick Bergin) escapes from Brixton Prison
determined to derail the Irish peace process,
Johnny faces being dragged back into violence
and away from his new love (Samantha Mumba).
Johnny’s actions ignite a simmering war on
two fronts with his drug-dealing neighbor and
his former boss Jimmy (Roger Daltrey). Johnny
faces questions of race, morality, loyalty –
and ultimately survival - played out against a
great reggae sound track from legendary
DJ-producer Adrian Sherwood

Miss
Trinidad & Tobago New York.
The Miss Trinidad and Tobago New York takes place at
the Fashion Institute of Technology, Haft Auditorium,
West 27th Street at Seventh Avenue, in Manhattan, set to
begin at 7:00 pm. A dozen young women will be
competing for the title.
This year - the 10th year, founder Renee Cummings
will pay special tribute to the work of T&T born
master hair weaver Clem Lue Yat who will receive a
Lifetime Achievement Award along with legendary T&T
queen maker Jacqui Koon of the famed House of Jacqui
Modeling Agency.
Miss Trinidad & Tobago New York, says Cummings, is
celebrated not as a beauty pageant but as a
developmental program for young women of Trinidad &
Tobago heritage living in New York. The T&T-born
Cummings has spent the last decade branding the pageant,
adding, "There is nothing more beautiful than an
educated woman." And she has strived to
redefine the word beauty. "There is this big myth
that beauty comes in a particular, shape, size, and hue
but not at Miss Trinidad & Tobago New York,"
said Cummings. "We embrace diversity and encourage
difference. We do not look for generic or archaic
cookie-cutter images of beauty. We look for real women
with a real contribution to make," Cummings added.
