876ers Movement to Elevate Jamaicans

876ers


The thought of brothers, sisters, moms, dads, sons and daughters, aunts and uncles, husbands and wives murdered in Paris during terror attacks leaves one with levels of sadness too deep to fathom on any emotional level.  These “terrorists” murder innocent people to strike back from atrocities that have been done to them, their countries, their families and their homes.  “Terror” is desperation!  It is a direct result of oppression from the power that rules this planet.  Violence begets violence.  Our world powers use military might to drive their points home yet in the aftermath, those victimized have learned a valuable lesson.  “With violence, I can make MY point.”  And they do.

Innocent people!

The bombings and terrorism in France is unfortunately directly from quotations in Christian bible, “you reap what you sew.”

Haiti has fought for and received ‘independence’ from France, 1st January, 1804 which is approximately 211 years ago.  Since that time Haiti and Haitians have lived in the most degrading conditions with France as well as other European and American interests keeping this black nation poor, with treaties, embargos and IMF raping and Haiti is still very poor today.  Due to the attack from white and European countries, hundreds of thousands of Haitians have died from starvation and poverty, hurricanes, hurricane aftermaths yet no one put the Haitian flag on their status on Facebook.

The heinous attacks in Paris were not done by Haitians or Jamaicans yet the white media act like the centuries long, systemic degradation of people of darker skin and of different religions will have no repercussions.  Unfortunately they will and they do.

Jamaican ‘independence’ was 6th August 1962, fifty-three years ago, and as time passes more and more Jamaican born people, like myself, are watching the patterns of ‘independence’ from white nations.

Jamaica is now the poorest nation in the Caribbean!  One has to ask themselves why the home of one of the greatest human spirits is so poor.  The homes of Leonard Percival Howell, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Usain Bolt, Louise Bennett, Robert Nesta Marley, Ras Tafari and reggae music, can be this fiscally poor?

The beaches, the hotels, Blue Mountain coffee, sugar cane, rum, ganja!  Resources that rake in MILLIONS yet the murder rate by the gun based on desperation and poverty is probably the highest in the world and Jamaica has no gun factories.  White men and other foreign investors, Japan and China own all of Jamaica’s industries.  The peoples of Jamaica and Haiti are refuse and dumb blacks unable to alleviate themselves of European leaches.

As time goes on, 211 years  for Haiti and 53 years for Jamaican ‘independence’, the treatment of native north Americans, tell you all you need to ovastand about this ‘system’ of theirs.  THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE!  They expect us all to ‘accept our place.’

That ‘system’ finds ways to take the resources of niggers and build up their economies, make them sign treaties and borrow monies that they have no chance of repaying, keeping the countries in CONSTANT poverty.  Most whites feel that if you are still being dominated today, it must be something that one must deserve to happen to them.  It is the white man’s fate to be the 1st World and the black man’s fate to always be the 3rd World.

876ers

Jamaica’s greatest resource is its people!  Not the resources of the land that white Europeans consider to be valuable.  The people!  Jamaicans!

White ‘masters’ own the corrupt politicians, the mined out bauxite, the beaches, the hotels, the rum, the coffee, much of the land and eventually the ganja.  No, I do not subscribe to continue to be raped and dominated by white masters.

I believe in Jamaica and Jamaicans.  I believe to this day, the greatest resource that the white European cannot own is Jamaican pride and Jamaican vibes.  I promote that vibe to all Jamaicans that I meet.  There are many non-Jamaicans of all races who see the truth of the words that I speak and write.

876ers is about supporting Jamaican pride. A chance to put fiscal power behind the strength of a culture!  It’s people!

Profits gained from 876ers sales go toward the upliftment of reggae music, which has greater influence on the planet than hotels and beaches and I will focus on musical education to Jamaican children as well, who have creativity like none other.  Americans brag about jazz being the last music invented.  They act like Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae (three totally distinctive sounds) were not invented by Jamaicans.  To counter that, I’m sure you’ll have some white, musical expert trying to explain why all three distinctive tunes are actually derivatives of jazz, but let me set the record straight.  THEY ARE NOT!  All music influences all music!
​

Jamaican’s innovations, skill and creativity know no boundaries.

The sale of 876ers is an opportunity for those who have pride, love and respect for Jamaica’s contributions to the world, also recognizing under this constant, colonial, bombardment, black nations cannot rise with the yolk of white masters who ‘own’ the resources in one’s countries!

876ers sales go to Jamaican people and reggae and Ras Tafari culture.

We fight no physical wars!  We have no guns and we make no threats.  Ras Tafari is about the upliftment of the human condition and the planet earth.

876ers is a movement of upliftment of a great people and an attempt to infuse pride within the Jamaican populous at home as well as abroad.

One of my dreams / goals is that Jamaica can win the World Cup of football.  I believe that we have all of the physical tools to accomplish that task in the years to come based on the excellence that we have shown in other physical, intellectual, spiritual and musical endeavors.  I can foresee profits from sales of 876ers being put towards the development of football academies all over the island.

My love and pride for Jamaica and humanity is the fuel that drives this 876ers venture.

“Out of many, One People”

Humanity or Hair ~APARTHEID Canada

11/11/2015

​Where does one start?  I’ll go with the title of “humanity” and focus there as I pretty much always try to do these days.

So, a 13 year old girl goes to a Catholic School with her hair out and is chastised, harassed and sent home by a black woman principal (BWP).  The distraction of racism raises its head yet now, this is a sticky situation because it appears to be black on black but in reality it is not.  It is the good house negro defending massa as he and she always will do.  This principal will be thoroughly chastised by her superiors as well as the trustees, the black community, a few politicians and others wishing to glorify this event, making the message clear, “even amongst themselves, they can’t get along.’  And so far, that is clearly true.

See audio / video below.

http://www.citynews.ca/2015/11/10/video-tdsb-principal-under-fire-after-chastising-black-teen-about-her-natural-hair/

The white news media goes where for the interview?  A black hair salon, where some of the patrons are already flashing weaves and horse hair.  The things that are supposed to be acceptable in white world.  A good weave on a black woman is less intimidating than that bush, mop, fro or locks that are natural.  Even amongst the black race some of the natural looks aren’t found as attractive as a more acceptable conformist look of weaves, perms, relaxers, hot comb (back in the day).  Miss CityNEWS took her camera crew to where the ‘beautifying’ of black women is done.  One has to wonder why that location?  Fortunately the patrons sided with the young girl yet the visual of the salon remains.

This is the distraction!

We will all go back and forth about this.  Some will say and believe that this young lady should tie her hair back to suit the European sensibilities.  “Go along to get along.”  Some will say, this is a huge step for the emergence of black beauty, that has come roaring through and cannot be contained or denied!  Danae (don’t know if I spell her name correctly) is my little hero in this story, because of her defiance for being herself.  A human expressing her strength and power!  In the news feed you will notice her aunt has the same / similar hairdo.  Danae respects her aunts fierce pride in self which shines through during the interview.  This European Catholic culture has never and will never accept black culture, hence Ras Tafari tries to educate.

This BWP has probably spent many years, money and time to be in her position and getting perms and weaves for her hair also.  Yet even “educated” she cannot see.  She probably will say that based on her own experiences in life, where she did not feel attractive, that she was trying to save Danae from that kind of ridicule.  Or more likely for me, she is another victim of mental slavery.  “Education” does not teach humanity.  This BWP is no different than the “thugs” firing guns and killing each other within the black community.  Each is ignorant to humanity.  Each is doing the bidding of their white masters, blindly following and preaching and teaching massa’s way.  I bet BWP believes herself superior to those carrying guns and committing crimes.  I tell you she is even more dangerous than the gun man.  She can affect the minds of children for a lifetime of emotional torture.

The behaviors of some rich, educated, affluent black people is to degrade and admonish those perceived lesser than themselves, is a systemic as stealing the resources from 3rd world nations and arming its desperate citizens with guns to kill amongst themselves.  It is a part of a global phenomenon that most will deny but for me, no less true.  We have PAGES and CENTURIES of history as proof.  Anyone remembers Rwanda?  Part of the same systemic cycle!

Danae and her family will either be glorified or attacked.  For me, they are warriors and champions, standing strong.  Nothing more beautiful and sexy than that!  Their fight is inspiring and should be shared.

Knowing the Catholic board, by next week, black students may be forced to shave their heads and given whitening creams for their skin.  But for us who were blessed to share in this story Danae and her family have elevated humanity and definitely will inspire a few to stand up for self as all humans have the right to do.

I feel proud of her anyway...

​Raspect India Arie for saying it far more eloquently than I could.  Blessing Spiceygad for being a muse on this song choice.

85th Coronation of H.I.M. ~ Leonard Percival Howell

​
​The 85th Coronation of H.I.M., Haile Selassie 1st, is being celebrated worldwide, crowned with his wife Empress Mennen, 2nd November 1930.  Though not as glorified to some / many like Christmas is, it is no less significant a feeling to those who celebrate H.I.M.
Picture
In honoring this spiritually, historical event, one must pay homage to Leonard Percival Howell and the settlement of Pinnacle in Jamaica.  “The Gong” aka “The Gong Guru” along with Joseph Hibbert, Archibald Dunkley, and Robert Hinds), and is sometimes known as The First Rasta elevated humanity by bringing light to bear on Haile Selassie 1st for the world to learn, see and acknowledge.

The day becomes more precious to me as time goes by, considering the treatment (persecution) and harassment of Leonard Howell, put into a mental institution by a so called “Jamaican hero” Alexander Bustamante, as well as the abuses and murder of Ras Tafari people by this colonial leach.

The premise behind said abuses and murders of Ras Tafari was the ‘colonists’ views that black people could not celebrate a God that was / is Ethiopian, of Africa, of black skin, as the Christ in his Kingly character, who’s presence changed the world!
​
The persecution heaped on Jamaicans was to maintain the status quo of a white Jesus and a white God, so the murders, rape and degradation of black Jamaicans was justifiable to buckingham palace as well as the to the then Prime Minister, Alexander Bustamante, a Jamaican hero!

What hero murders his own people? Why are Jamaicans still speaking of Bustamante as a hero?  How is he a Jamaican hero if he murders innocent Jamaicans on the behest of colonial murderers?

I take this time to put this in some historical context so that we may never forget the trials of Ras Tafari and how many sacrificed for the freedoms and worldwide love and respect that Ras Tafari now receives yet the colonial battering continues.  This isn’t about Bustamante the colonial puppet but about the celebration of Ras Tafari that has endured no matter the obstacles set before us by the babylonian system by using corrupt, Jamaican politicians as well as colonialism, even today.

Instead I reflect on the growth of Ras Tafari in spite of these barriers as it grows through the entire planet, to all races of people, without the hard sell of door to door selling like the Jehovah’s Witness, monster truck styled selling of Christianity or the organized herding of “sheep” by all Christian faiths.

You come to Ras Tafari or it comes to you.

Ras Tafari is led by an individual choice to live in a peaceful manner, educate self as well as our children and to carry one’s self with pride and respect in an attempt to elevate humanity.

No man or woman is perfect!  Ras Tafari, Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Krishna, Buddhism is not about perfection. Ras Tafari is a physical, spiritual, mental discipline that uses prayer and music to impact this world in which we live.   Ras Tafari chooses non-violent solutions to the world’s issues through the uses of reasoning and roots, Ras Tafari reggae music.  Roots reggae music, through the beat of the Nyabinghi drum, flows through the citizens of this earth, evidenced by the popularity of reggae music on civilization.

Ras Tafari guides me in that direction.

We celebrate this day with reverence and bless all nations, religions, faiths, belief structures of all the people of this earth on this, the 85th Coronation date of H.I.M., Germawi Qedamawi, Haile Selassie 1st.
