Some white people butt hurt about the loud, angry, aggressive response of many black people about the Soja, Grammy win and think it is about hating white people and the typical Karen response is to cry about it and make it about their white hurt

This is how one removes the "friends" of the black and Reggae community, separating ourselves from those who make it about their whiteness.  These karens do expose their lack of knowledge and more importantly, lack of empathy for the African descent souljahs who created their own music, their own sound, a place for a black man / woman to wail about the european / white abuses from slavery to present

Karen cries about her / his whiteness

Karen does not love me or my people.  She / he loves the culture, the notoriety she / he can get from the culture but no empathy for the journey of reggae through the expression of black man degradation

When Marley, Spear, Tosh, past and present reggae souljahs sing / speak, it is of lived abusive experiences still happening across the entire world and in Jamaica, the mandigo spirit is deep within many of the population and the fires of freedom and pride is always ablaze within

We fight on, even as babylon attempts to constantly trample black man pride

If Karen cared, she / he would not cry so hard when many of us seem so affronted by a reggae win by the children of the colonizer

Karen worries about what Putin and Russia are doing to the people of the Ukraine but no love or interest for what Ukranian, Romanian and Polish soldiers and authorities are doing to the black people at the borders of these countries.  They do not care that my children aren't protected like the white children

Karen don't care about me

If Karen was so into humanity and love for the world and for black humans, you might hear him / her speak of such degradation to black children but Karen don't care for me or mine

Soja gets props from other credible, reggae, black reggae artists who have traveled a twenty year reggae journey with these white brothers and their respect for Soja is real

I have no hate for Soja

I believe in the love of RasTafari and the true brotherhood of man and my black degradation is front and center of my psyche and as a reggae man, I do not see this music, Soja, relating to me in any way.  I do not feel that soulful groove prevalent in the music and Reggae culture since its inception

Africans dance the colonizer abuse away.  We dance for and with our ancestors.  We feel our music.  I do not feel Soja music

Fuck these Karens in I n I culture who benefit from the loving energies of inclusiveness by African children and turn around and make it about their white hurt

Because I cuss and swear and am quite angry at times, the love of reggae, the love for humanity, the pride in my mandigo spirit will speak my truths no matter how many white friends I end up losing

They were never friends

The humans, who are in my circle with true love, care about the corruption and abusive gun crime in Jamaica, in Toronto and shared knowledge of the colonizer abuses to Native humans and that brotherhood I share with these friends are deep and everlasting

Both mothers of my children are white and I have great love and pride in both of them as women and mothers of my children.  I am blessed with how my children love their moms and are guided by their attentive mummy-love for all of my babies

Yeah, "I have white friends" yet I can and must speak a stronger speak to elevate the spirit of this civilization that that we must all endure

My issue isn't "reverse racism" as karens point out and admit to their own natural racist behaviors

Empathy

Reggae is a love and freedom music and all of its souljahs are truly connected globally in all races.  We feel and love each other no matter color of skin.  The love for humanity is a common bond among all I n I reggae idrin and sistrin around the globe

Our love for each other is real

Karen does not know reggae when he or she complains of hurt.  They shine a racist spotlight which is difficult to miss

I must address this so the real ones know the deal

Reggae nor RasTafari is about hate

I am reggae and RasTafari

But I am angry

I am not pleased at the on-going orchestrated abuse to Jamaicans by colonizer planted governments yet at the same time, our music is here to aid us to chant and spread that loving energy around this earth, through generations of humans from all four corners

We are one

We do feel each other

All of us are on the freedom team

All know of the rise of this music from a strong and proud race of humans called Jamaicans

There is no insecurity of any race, especially the white race of "stealing reggae" cause reggae finds all its own souljahs and those who try to steal it, or claim their whiteness are called out by the culture.  Rejected by the culture

Reggae IS a global brother and sisterhood and all of its souljahs feel each other and our love is real and we are on one team.  We know each other though the love in our eyes

One cannot talk their way on this team

The love separates the wheat from the sheaf

The love is the key
