I come at this from a completely different tact. I kinda agree with K on this but not passionately..Think these are important disciplines and The Watcher is right I go and watch my family back home when they have important processsions and it is straight out of western military and policing schools..but that aint my issue..

My fundamental issue is with the NOI which in private I think are jokers..and entertainers not radical or soldiers in any shape of the word..They love this symbolic shit and that is all it is symbolic entertainment..I have never ever taken the NOI as a security military capacity as serious because they are not just joke business for beat down mash up black people who are emotionally desperate just like cheap praise of black women or people who just need stroking.

All them people are doing is training those kids to march up the local boulevard to sell newspapers..or make Farrakhan look good. Nobody in the intelligence world take the NOI as serious in anything..Even in the film Malcolm X when he marches to the police station with the FOI makes me cringe and when me and my boys watch that piss ourselves with laughter, because it is so embarrassing..Tell me does anybody know of any major operation EVER where the NOI had to send large numbers of their marching or non marching troops to engage or deploy

No that piece in the film about Malcolm is as good as it gets and that is shameful.
That is why when the UDR and IRA and other sectarian organisations in Northern Ireland march so many of those boys are hooded up..because they don't march for show. They are a serious fighting organisation who enforce law and order and the will of their leadership on whoever crosses their path..

Entertainment and nothing less, whether they are dancing to Colonial European or Zulu or Mdebele marching protocols means jack to me..Its about what is the desired purpose of such practices
