When Culture of the Present Battles Culture of the Past
By Alred C. Frett

Too many are wasted ‘just because’ while too few are saved for a ‘just cause’: Again, I am forever thankful for all your support and words of wisdom even when and if we disagree… However, we should all beware that those who fear knowledge will bring us power will continue to hide truth from the youth and justice from people even as they feed their greed via processes and systems designed by themselves to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Not all Trayvon Martins are dead nor all of Mandela was freed

Teaching us to hate ourselves:
Recent news has been dominated by the Trayvon Martin murder case and Nelson Mandela’s hospitalization with every news medium and talking head contributing their personal spin and opinion… While each may range from absurdity to validity, the underlying theme has been the ‘Effects and Social Linkage between Injustice and Racism on the Descendants of Slaves’.

Laws are not made to benefit Black Boys:
June and July have become recognized months of Education as Graduations measure the learning progress of our Youth… Unfortunately, decades of Wars, Conflicts and Religion have fostered disenfranchisement, Ignorance, Poverty and Starvation in that Millions of Children will become Adult Refugees with Futures destined to be worse than their parents with a promise of nothing.

PARAQUITA BAY, Tortola, VI - “Most people would have come to hear a lecture about the Virgin Islands and independence but the professor took a broader context and spoke about international law and colonialism, speaking a lot about the treaty of Westphalia that I guessed the colonialists used as a basis of colonising the rest of the world and professor Hilaire obviously does not support the institution of colonialism,” stated Natalio Wheatley aka Sowande Uhuru.

Selling out People & Lands for NHI Scams:
Recently whenever we say things can get no worse we see they actually do so when I ask if the Ship is sinking many are quick to say it sank already but instead of manning the pumps Leaders would rather deny Reality even if they too die in the process… This may explain why some are so annoyed with us for saving our People from a man-made National Health Scheme disaster.
