Let bygones be bygones? |
|
||||
|
'Let bygones be bygones.' Is a BLACK MAN saying that. How we going to sight Rasta and look at race as a diversion from the mainline of the teaching? You do NOT let bygones be bygones by thinking it is beneath you to discuss the issues, beloved one. You have apparently been called here to this teachment for a reason. Ones must have the courage to go all the way if them want what they say they want, for themselves and for the world. 'One day things must get better.' It is these reasoning that make it SO. If WE here cannot build bridges NOW, HERE, what hope is there? Coming to truth on race is central to 'spiritual development', not an unfortunate detour. And please I beg you let's get our terms straight: unless black people took over the institutions and structures of the world last night while I was sleeping and I don't know it yet, accusing black people of 'racism' is inappropriate. Love. Love. Love. No joke business, seen? This isn't some liberal lazy middle class American trip. Before we start throwing that term around so freely, we need to have an appreciation for what is involved to manifest in the FULLNESS. I have been guilty of this myself in the past so I know what I'm talking about. This is reality, and the world hangs in the balance, don't doubt. It hurts sometimes to listen to the black idrens here speaking out of their truth and their experience of whites. But if we are going to come here and try to 'lift up the vibes' (!) and once AGAIN DENY the reality of the lived lives of our black idrens, how are we any different from the worst whites in the ghastly history of the last 2000 years?
