Not enough written about this great Caribbean man. But then again not enough is written about most of the great ones who were not politicians.

Yeah, yeah, everybody a jump up inna dem bat#y rider fi Walter Rodney but when I have said the exact same thing in the past, yuh hear how mi racist and di rest of it.

“It was only natural that imperialism and its local lackeys should have intensified the oppression of our black brothers. But, paradoxical as it may appear, they have been forced to create a psychological prop to their system of domination, the myth of a harmonious, multiracial national society – ‘Out of Many, One People’ – as the National Motto pretends. In this way they are hoping that the black masses will never organize independently in their own interests”.

Time to revisit all our national symbols, from the flag to the flower. I mean, the Lignum Vitae?!?! Really?!?! A flowaz dat?!!??! It happens to be the national tree of the Bahamas. Dat mek much more sense to me! Given our obsession with sexual prowess, why wouldn't we want the tree that boasts the hardest wood to be our national symbol?!? Not di flippin likkle blue flowaz dat yuh can barely see!

[Sir X]

Yuh need to revisit the JFJ bawling for a stop in extrajudicial killing of gunmen ,yet advocating for transparency in justified killings in other words do it properly,the silence on real victimization of poor people by deprivation of their ganja rights to the point of state murder.

Yuh brave fi talk

[Mosiah]

Nonsense! You do your own campaign. Ganja is still illegal and still dangerous to your health!

[Gamma]

Apparently it is also good for your health too..what a conundrum!!

[Mosiah]

Perhaps! But X needs to do his own work, please and tanx!

[Sir X]

My work,thats unnu prablem,your vision on human rights is narrow.Police brutality cannot be soley about extrajudicial killings,it has to be about the social reasons/tensions - read Kings birmingham letter- ,thats is the symptom of a larger problem-deprivation of citizens rights! Not the right to be killed in transparency-good issue but not the issue.How the state does it and how human rights org,go about resolving it ,goes a far way in dealking with your issue ,of extrajudicial killings


Unnu loose face ,den unnuh jump to the agenda ,then unnuh jump to annada up town agenda.

kisssteeth ,my issue get hijack babylon to the point where wi look like fool.Thanks to you guys,where was your voice ?


Rodney woulda bun yuh out.
