First of all, I can assure you I am not RD, because we may have had some similar opinions that would be the equivalent of me making statements that my three AFRIKAN Kings are the same person.

Never knew I was asked what my ethnicity was, would have no problem answering that. I am mixed, African, White, and Carib, my routes run deep in this soil and I too am entitled to my opinion. In fact I would argue I am probably doing more to help move Grenadians forward than any of you.

You didn't shut me up about your afrocentric theories, I looked at them, and some of them are interesting, I would say there is merit to the theories, however, I think saying that some Africans came to South and Central America that long ago and has some right to the land is the equivalent of saying that the Scandanavians have some devine right to parts of the North America.

It blows my mind that even the most avid (no pun intended) supporter of "the world is out to destroy black people" theories would support a man like Robert Mugabe. Whether or not he started off as a champion of liberation is irrelevant, what I see today is a man who is so hungry for power he is willing to destroy the future and lives of the same people he may have tried to help some time in the past.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, supporting a monster because he shares your skin color just makes you an idiot. I don't see many people standing up and trying to defend the Serbian butcher they just found. There are so many wonderful examples of strong righteous black people that should be supported, yet you pick a Robert Mugabe?
