If you're Black, get back! If you're Brown, stay down!
"Hail The King" - Fanton Mojah
Peace,
Today's Mathematics is Knowledge Cipher all being born to Knowledge. When in any cipher, it is imperative to have the Knowledge of what's taking place in that Cipher, and also to know what Knowledge is driving the Cipher. For example, if you happen to find yourself on my blog, you should be aware of what I blog about, as well as the fact that my worldview is based on the Culture of the Nation of Gods and Earths. When you're not aware of what's taking place around you, you can become a slave to your environment.
Over the past few weeks, there's been reports of Black - Brown discords in Los Angeles Area High Schools. The resulting riots led to the banning of white t - shirts and large belt buckles in the high schools(Just as an aside, how do you ban white tees as a "gang symbol"? What's next, blue denim?). Just last week, reports surfaced of a plot by Mexican gang members to kill 500 - 1000 Black men. While this report was found to be false, thousands of Black youth stayed home from school. On a larger level, these events have the ability to effect the May 17 mayoral election, where Antonio Villaraigosa is running to become the 1st Latino mayor of the countries' 2nd largest city.
To me, this rupture represents a general lack of understanding of the social and political situation by both sides. To be sure, Blacks and Latino have some different issues, b.u.t. for the most part, both suffer from similar maladies in our society. The truly progressive among us must make sure that we build bridges to create greater understanding amongst each other. On a historical, political, and social level, we have much more in common than we do not. One need look no further than the late 60's ( i.e.Black Panthers, Brown Berets, Young Lords) to see a time when original people had a sophisticated understanding of their respective conditions and were able to come together to build for a common cause of Freedom, Justice, and Equality.
Only when we look beyond each other to see the real issues will we grow beyond petty territorial beefs and squabbles. When you see the link between original people, a consciousness emerges that allows you you to elevate to your highest equality. On a individual as well as a collective level, we need to apply that each and every day, in each and every way.
