marcus garvey was a separatist. don't try and hold him up on some pedastal just because he put Europe for the Europeans, Asia for the Asians, etc., as a footnote to his movement.

Further, in regards to yr black movements dissing whtie membership, INI is both a member of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, the largest community and organization within Rastafari, and commune with Nyabinghi and Bobo dread, and attend weekly masses at the Tewahedo Ethiopian Orthodox Church, where straight Africans accept InI with open arms. Wise up and quite thinking you know more then you do. ask instead of attack and you will learn instead of being corrected. seen?

no black organization has "dissed" white membership. if you read what i wrote, you would see that i said something along the lines of not allowing people who can't feel the effects of racism and nationalism as deeply. it's the concept of building from within. ever heard of it? your idealism is cute and all, but you're really not teaching anyone anything.

and lastly, I dont know the last time you were in Los Angeles, but in a city where 3 people are shot dead every day, where 50,000 homeless men women and children wander aimlessly in search of food on streets with multimillion dollar houses. the contrast is the same as in apartheid Johanessburg. 3rd world.

the difference between Los Angeles and Johanessburg is that many people in South Africa are in a state of depravity through no fault of their own, while in South Central, we have homeless people wandering the streets because their addiction and vices and just plain shortcomings have led them there. comparing Los Angeles to the apartheid in South Africa is probably the dumbest shit i've ever heard. i don't think the president could even fuck up that bad.
and heaven forbid i actually get BOOKS from *gasp* LIBRARY!
(not to be an asshole or anything, but it severely hurts your argument (and makes it pretty hard to read, generally) when you type it out in patois)
