Why what's Right seems Wrong and what's Wrong seems Right?

The late Kwame Ture was fond of saying "capitalism makes things that should make sense crazy and things that should be crazy make sense." Does that seem like a silly statement to you? Think about it. I have often asked high school and other young audiences in recent presentations the same question. When they scoffed, I gave them an analogy to work with. On their campus, I asked them to visualize their quad where everyone gathers. I told them that if I was out there with a microphone and speakers; talking about how we all needed to get together and organize to end hunger, substandard education, health care issues, and the exploitation of the planet, about 99.9% of them would either pretend they didn't hear me as they walked by, or they would make fun of me. An example of what should make sense being made to appear crazy. On the other hand, I told them, if I was on that same microphone with any semblance of lyrical ability, and I began by playing music and rapping that all the B - - - -s and H -- es and N - - - as should come to the stage, I would be certain to get an excited group to come and surround me. A clear example of what should be crazy being made to make sense.

Well, you can use Kwame's statement to analyze the world we live in today on many fronts. In North America, the Indigenous people to this hemisphere, whose lands have been stolen from them, are now either forced to live in substandard "reservations" on their land, or treated like, and called "illegal aliens" for attempting free movement across their own terrorities. Meanwhile, the descendents of the bandits who stole the land in the first place walk around as if they have God's right to the territory. Clearly, this is something that should be crazy that is being presented as if it makes sense.

The Palestinian people, violently removed from their land and repressed to no end, rise up to resist this terrorist oppression, and their organizations like Hamas are labeled as terrorists while the Europeans who stole their land and maintain that theft are called "the peaceful partners of the Middle East" by the African president of amerikkka? Those are two examples of things that are crazy, but are presented over and over as if they make sense.

On the other hand, there are examples all over the place that illustrate how what should make sense is made to seem crazy. Today it is a fact that Austrailia and New Zealand are societies there were started when Britain unloaded its criminal and unwanted elements to each terroritory. Also, Britain, amerikkka, and racist South Africa conspired and supported the illegal zionist movement to strengthen it to steal Palestine from the Palestinian people and declare that legally Arab country as a so-called "Jewish" state. Now, they have even rewritten the United Nations history of that theft by erasing all of the resolutions that originally and correctly called the theft what it was, a racist grab of land.

Now, Africans, are scattered and suffering in dozens of countries today due to slavery and colonialism. We are unable to recognize each other as family when we meet each other from the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and Africa. We speak Arabic, French, Spanish, English, Wolof, Mandinka, Yao, Ga, Ashanti, Tegrinian, and a host of other languages, but yet we cannot recognize and talk to one another. Clearly the source of our problems lies in the process that split us up, kidnapped us, and scattered us across the globe. Plus, we have the historical right to reclaim Africa that doesn't exist in the examples of Austrialia, New Zealand, or zionist occupied Palestine (so-called israel).

It should be painfully obvious to us that the logical thing for us to do is unite oursleves and reclaim our motherland - Africa, and rebuild her as the correct methodology to solve our problems that can't and won't be solved in Puerto Rico, the Dominican, Brazil, amerikkka, Canada, Britain, India, and even Africa. But, when someone suggests this unity which is Pan-Africanism, this solution, which should make total sense to us, is made to seem crazy. You go figure.....
