Greetings.
On the subject of White Privilege I am still grasping it through first hand experience and opening my eyes.
"Since you feel you are entitled to all good things you can imagine,
you are constantly functioning with lesser or greater levels of disappointment. You do not treasure what you have, but always crave more."
Recently with the coming of the cold weather, the heat in my new studio apartment is often below what I'm used to. I kept turning the thermostat in the brownstone up and as a result the oil in the tank depleted and the oil company had to come refuel.
The landlords since this incident have been rude and condescending towards me and nobody in the building is sympathizing with the fact that my room is a degree or two below comfortable level. I've been getting upset at the lack of support and I continue to search for a solution, unwilling to deal with the heat below a comfortable level.
Then I thought to myself, am I suffering from White Privilege?

Yeah thats a BIG statement for anyone that says the've broken those babylon mindshackles.
If you've broken them off, please share and show the rest of us the way. Its becoming common knowledge for some people that breaking off the mindshackles is the way, but how to break them off at once is a mystery and if you've solved the problem please explain to Jah children mon.
As I'm writing this I'm doubting that you are truly free. Then again,
"Those who don't trust enough will not be trusted" - Lao Tsu
At the same time, you can hear in the way One writes, their degree of freedom. Freedom appears to be a quality that is either evident or is not, it comes through in speech and thought or it doesn't, and Jah kids can recognize the difference. And if it is, Jah people will move in that direction.

Greetings to Rootsie and people
Thanks for the chance to post on this site

I'll admit that just before i read the poem I had smoked a J.

Let me in short give thanks to Rootsie for this poem The Promised Land
