Oh and brother I am truely sorry that you have to seek something outside of your self to get back to the mother land. shyt man I listened to the old people when I was growing up. it did not fit together then all the old stories being told over and over again about Mr. Johh Brooks, bredder womack who lived down in the woods from where my grandfather lived and could hardly be understood because he was from the islands.

the root man who had all the cures, the tricks the clever negros used to play on unsuspecting whites. all the stuff that now makes sense to my life.

i love africa, but my grandchildren are here. i have to help them aclaimate to what is here now. i certainly am leaving a legacy of there ancestry. and the pride that goes with it. i will put down on paper as well as speak it in their eargate every chance i get because i now remember that repetitious stories that were told to me or spoken in my presense that are now in my heart and my wisdom.

not to say that i am necessarily a better man than you abd. that is neither here nor their and of no consequence presently. but i can promise you that you have well misjudged me. I have been consistant from day one on this forum. i have shared what is in my heart as i suspect you have yours. we differ, but you err woefully if you think i am a weak man who will leave a weak legacy. no my friend.

if i die tonight and never strike the keys of the machine again, know that I will not be moved to the left or to the right by any thing or any one but my God.

Be it known my brother that you hate, i love. we will see which is the stronger. they both have support for a source.
