[Diegobjj]

[21Sim21]

Why ya so racist ? Dis music no wanna tell ya a hateful message. It's a love message, and no one have the right to say "Kill the whites". Whites are not bad. Babylon is bad. No schism pon de humanity. Together

[mozadek1]

@21Sim21

I'll NEVER LOVE MY ENEMY!!!!

I'll live to see your system fall, and you devils exterminated on judgement day!

[razvanpamfil]

stop fighting and smoke something,,,,,that's what i'm doing.....thanks and prayers..... peace out

[jakehough1]

whites are not bad ppl i find slavory among the most terrible horriffic things in the world and im sure most modern day whites do also your all living in the past

[strongpikin]

Well, nothing on the song or the slideshow is a figment of my imagination or concoction, these are all real images or situations that happened. You want me to forget that it all happened and "move on"? Is that really what you want?

[DjNgatiDread]

@strongpikin love the vid. But hey its not about forgetting, NO ONE can reasonably expect that, its about FORGIVENESS friend. None of us were there, none of us are responsible. Quit the blame game, no angst on your part will fix the past. Its not "moving on" its not allowing yourself to be a slave, by allowing angry evil dead men to rule your thoughts and interpretations of life. Forgive and move forward with love, and no harm shall befall you.

Jah guidance

[strongpikin]

@DjNgatiDreadDon't let urself be misguided dear friend. Don't mistake knowledge for anger! If u understand anything abt forgiveness, then u shld not be saying anything negative about this video. Everything in there happened so that's "reality". U can't do anything to change that fact. Knowing this vital piece of ur history is in no way or form being "angry at evil dead men".

[strongpikin]

This is ur past and u can't & will never detach it from the rest of u! Ur direct Status Quo today, is as a result of this history.

For the Jewish people, the very first lessons they teach their children is abt the Holocaust. This, they do, in order for their kids to have a better understand of who they are, where they're from, and where they're going. Said kids grow up filled with the knowledge and determination to be strong Jewish kids. When negroes do it, other negroes complain...

[DjNgatiDread]

@strongpikin No its not reality! It WAS reality now it is in the past. If we live in the past we will never get to the future. I never said anything bad about the video. We all know what happened. Forgiveness is about freeing yourself from the tyranny that downpresses you. Forgiveness is a tool of freedom. Being bitter over it means THEY STILL CONTROL YOUR MIND, at least to some degree. So friend forgive and free yourself from confines of hate. Hate being the lowest vibration in the Universe.

[strongpikin]

@DjNgatiDread Quit tripping my friend. If it WAS reality, then it means it is a historical fact! Why do u not like the fact that I am revisiting a piece of history here? Isn't history taught as a course in formal institutions? Do u have an idea what Knowledge of Self is? Without it you're a doomed fellow- white, black or yellow!So to prove to u that I have forgiven "them", I should forget this part of the history?Why does it seem like that is what EVERYBODY wants,especially the educated blacks?

[DjNgatiDread]

@strongpikin Please read my first comment over. I love the vid. But the angst is going nowhere fast. History (his-story) is not yours or ours. We live in a very different world, a mostly progressive thinking world at that. My point, you arent being progressive. I would dare say it is so not progressive, it is damn near stagnating. I believe history is just that, a focal point to move forward from. Move on using the knowledge of old to forge a bright new future for everyone. UNI-VERSE = ONE-SONG

[strongpikin]

@DjNgatiDread So if I get you correctly, everything "illustrated in that slideshow is "his-story" and not "ours"? Those were not your brothers and sisters in the chains? This is interesting. Cool down, sir. At the end of the day, we're both coming from the same side, but u going at it wrong, in trying to act like that "act" does not continue to have impact to date. Bro, there's a difference between "forgiving" and not being "informed". You ain't the only one that found religion, please!

[borislych]

all whites government are racists, it's not a judgment, it's not the past, it's a reality! in france there is many probleme whith blacks, arabians, muslims people: not because they are bad, just because they are a minority! "Without a majority of minority what could you be" fuck the state racism

[zionju44]

? So I should be an exception..I did 2 wonderfull babies...black/white/yellow...­yes, we are metiss....fuck to hate!

[borislych]

it's not an exeption, it's the solution. regarde le débat sur l'identité nationale: soit blanc, soit de droite, soi riche, soit catholique, montre ton éducation bourgeoise et hypocrite et surtout si tu convient pas a tout cela, fait toi petit et travail.

[zionju44]

j'crois qu'on partage le même point de vue, mais qu'on l'exprime différement..Les cons resterons cons, laissons les dans leur trip et faisons le notre!

[sEssTuga]

@borislych That´s not true! Maybe if you say that all populations white or black have racist people.. My government is not racist and we were also a colonial nation. But i am not from France then I'll believe in your words about your country.

[borislych]

portugal have racist politics because today this is a land of imigration: think about the Cape-verde, Angola, guinea and brezilian population, think about there conditions in portugal: see the facts, not the speech.

[sEssTuga]

Yes i agree that we have racist politics, but i repeat not a racist government, and never had since the end of dictatorship.! Yes some political parties here in Portugal are admittedly extreme nationalists, totally racist.We have several emigrant communities around the world, not only in former colonies but also in the USA, Canada, France, England .. So we do not treat badly those who are here. I know that we not offer the same conditions as for example the United Kingdom offers to immigrants.

[sEssTuga]

Here a legal immigrant has the same rights as a citizen. And employers often prefer immigrants because they accept receiving less than a Portuguese. About those countries that were former Portuguese colonies,They dont have great difficulty in being here legal. About immigrants from eastern european countries already believe they have difficulties because most of the time are illegal. About the population yes here we have many racist people they have a limited mind

[jakehough1]

why,do,u,all,hate,whites?,:(

[strongpikin]

Why would you say that??

[borislych]

he says that because he don't know history. never forget!

[1ohcomeon1]

@jakehough1 yeah why do you say that?

[GingerBronze]

@jakehough1 - Why is that when ANY person talk about the atrocities committed upon other humans by the Caucasians that it's considered 'hate'? Is this type of rhetoric supposed to intimidate others from speaking TRUTH about their experiences??? Look at the what the Caucasians are doing to the planet. No indigenous people have EVER wrought death and mass destruction to people, plants and animals like those from the caves of the Caucasus Regions.

[jimkerryhelmer]

Righteousness brings many smiles and friends

[zionju44]

: ****( that really touch my soul..

[emjtube]

I denie my friggin whiteness...nobody can convince me that i'm white! I'm black, de-evolution and the friggin climate changed us...it's a really sad history of mankind. As Rancid say Kill all the whiteman!

[alantos27]

this song bring tears to ma eyes but i will avoid feeling any hate inside for those who committed these Crime against humanity....i will surely go back n help ma pple 1 day...Africa unity is the key..we will never give up[all blacks across the globe]..peace

[1ohcomeon1]

The dollar bill is an example, obelisks, D.C. Layout

[strongpikin]

Yes you're right. Let the people who wanna stay ignorant, remain ignorant.

[1ohcomeon1]

[INQUISITOR323]

This video is very inspirational and has made me appreciate my culture even more even though I am not from african origin its truly a beautiful video of roots and culture for any kind of person in the world.

[strongpikin]

Thank you for your kind words.

Knowing your culture and history is really the way to go.

[kill614]

They called up this a land of opportunity

But opportunity fe who you are we

Without a majority of minority what could you be

You only need us here to do your laboring

In the sun toiling

How great could a blood city be

When you did not earn your greatness fairly

You thieve all your signs and symbols from Egypt

Kemet, Abyssinia, India or Tibet

Still we can forget

[hawaiian50x]

can't we all just get along?

[raree25]

This is a Beautiful song, Art at it's best. Power to the people!

[anner442]

Stupid graghics...and odl material..get fucking in the real world...get over your fucking problem with something that happened a fucking 100 years ago. What is wrong with you? Are you fucking stupid???? We need to change this from today not hundreds of years ago....YOU want to blame someone else???? For this mess??? YOU are fucking stupid.

[strongpikin]

Who is this seeking for attention? Wrong forum my friend!

Go watch Rossie O'Donnell Show or something....

[raree25]

This is reality and actuality don't get mad and pissed off because your ancestors raped, robbed, and murdered everywhere they went for world domination in the name of religion. You and all your descedents has inherit a curse for your unjust treatment of many people that were killed and oppressed. By the way why are viewing this video? This is knowledge for conscious Afro-People.

[ibirie1]

Hatred kills the soul. To many living dead walking amongst I n I.  I don't have to be a kid in a movie to see dead people. Praise Jah....Fire burn the Wicked!

[yemen69]

blood will never ever be forgotten... killing us and telling us to forget, naaa... will never forget and one day payback will come and when it comes trust me no mercy.

[Mamoumoute]

For sho...and me and my Bantu tribe will be ready when that day comes... What goes around comes around..

[ojosdelaluna313]

so haunting and beautiful

[anner442]

Yeah, and are they a welfare nation? Should this nation sit down and accept help from everyone? Should these ass wipes just take money and keep one being welfare addicits? Hell no, these guys want to actually make a life...but how can they?

[crinialbi]

so cool;)

[Soccergurlz]

lovely, i am proud of where i am from!! i still got my african roots in me, and that is going to stay with me and my children and my grandchildren

[anner442]

Africa is raped every day by foreign countries and people in Africa that have bought into this. They regularly take 99% of the profit. How can Africa rule itself...without power hungry idiots taking control of it. We want to see AFRICA FREE to control itself!!!!! Fuck ditcators, and greedy assholes...fuck them...Africa should be free to develop its people and resources...unfortunately, Africans have to fight themselves, they are too corrupt.

[Abbyssenia]

what is african american..case if your black, you're african and it's done. WOW she is beutifulll. bless to caribeansss, my people

[Abbyssenia]

gracious mama africa. thanks for this song...jah blessss from ethiopia......to all

[unique1express]

I'm just learning about Dezarie ! This song is lovely with a nice tune and not just that, it's mad truth in the lyrics in it !

[DarqueBeauty]

Deuteronomy 28:68

"The LORD will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I spoke to you, 'You will never see it again!' And there you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer."

Israel..don't you know yourself anymore?...

Deuteronomy 28:37

"You shall become a horror, a proverb, and a taunt among all the people where the LORD drives you."

Wake up, my people. It's time to go home.

[unupiatra]

i'm not black but i love this quote: "black to be proud, proud to be black"

[meeetzee]

there is no more slavery get over it guys we are in 2009

[strongpikin]

This just shows how ignorant and narrow-minded you are! Anyways, it ain't your fault!

[unupiatra]

totally agree, there's so much going on everywhere. It's 2009 indeed but i see it the way it is and i see it bad

[sachin1990]

:| woow

[bassjunkie8700]

Much much respect

[abdoulaziz1978]

i am from (dirre dawa-in- ethiopia) this song fill my body with pride. at the same it breaks my because it remindes me of all the stupid civil war that killing the kingdom of africa. I know for sure almighty god will not let africa be destroyed. NATURAL BLACK AND FOREVER WE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

[the3chosenones]

All black and brown people got their asses kicked under a "system" of global white minority domination (racism) which attacks through NINE major areas of activities:

1. economics

2. education

3. entertainment

4. labor

5. law

6. politics

7. religion

8. sex

9. war

[GingerBronze]

I LOVE, LOVE this video and song. It stirs up something inside of me - on an ethereal level. I visualize in my mind's eye those Nilotic charcoal and blue-black beauties birthing the "Hue" man in the garden of Ethiopia (Ether Utopia).

Asante Sana! tima usrah (through fire comes the family)

[Laminhina]

This song always gives me the goose bumps.

Thank you for posting.

[FreeWeedForAll]

I respect this song, and all black AND white people, no matter what color you are, live in peace and respect each other, dont judge, Praise Jah!

[ProSprintR]

and smoke maryjane everyday ;)

[imlivinitupniggaz]

These pictures falsely portray the black man as the victim of the man. Black brothers, rise up and fight this victim mentality!

[strongpikin]

Interesting. Care to elaborate more on that?

[ghemix]

nice mel..

[BahamasIllestMC]

mmm thoes people goin into slavery are Isralites!

[strongpikin]

Come again?

[BahamasIllestMC]

Deuteronomy chapter 28:68 talks about goin into slavery on ships. scriptures shows just how African slaves went into slavery historically with yolks of iron around their necks exactly how it was written

[proph2008]

@BahamasIllestMC EXACLY ! they stole are heritage or history we are the True Jews of the bible, FACT.

[pav400]

gracious..mama africa.. THe song is divine. The gods shut up when she sings!! Amazing voice

[mydiop]

j'adorais cette chanson mais la facon dont tu la presentee ici me seduit encore plus! we come from Mama Africa so african people should think about to roll back home 'n work for our development. thank u Strongpikin...

[strongpikin]

Merci beaucoup mon ami! It gives me pleasure to read words of encouragement from others. Thank you. Comme je dis toujours- Knowledge is power!!!!

[africanbeauty777]

Great job ! Strongpikin.

[africanbeauty777]

My Brother,I Feel You.Thanks for the video.

[strongpikin]

I swear to you bro, everyone is getting some kind of reparation except black people.

[BahamasIllestMC]

we black people aint gettin reparation because it was writing that we would be treated unfairly

[strongpikin]

Don't worry about that, sir. The tides are turning....Babylon bridge is burning.....

[omerfort]

The portuguese where the first ones to start the african slave trade and the last ones to give it up. The portuguese made alot of money off the sweat and blood of the african slave! They should in some way pay back the decendants of slaves,just like the german are still doing to the decendants of the jewish holocaust!

[tumale]

yeah its very cool seeing all those great and unfortunate heroes. I guess you weren't able to match the lyrics with images since her lyrics weren't that specific. How long does it take you to make a video, Mr Sankara?

[strongpikin]

True dat bro! Most powerful song I've heard in a while.

[timmynaija]

if u dont know where u are going u must know where u are coming from.

[modiene]

That's right ,but nobody listen,,,,tell to jay z ,p diddy & 50 cent to go back in the mother land,,,they would think that you're just an ignorant,,,so that's the problem...we messed up from the very begining...

[strongpikin]

Why do you bother about those dumb fools? They know nothing about this right here!

[BahamasIllestMC]

like the lyrics say America stole signs an symbols from Egypt..an scriptures say Isralites would go into slavery again on ships into Egypt again(metaphorically speaking of America) u notice the Washinton Monument is Egyptian Oblisk Pryamid on back of the dollar! yes she is on point with the lyrics!

[DarqueBeauty]

I caught that too! She's knows who we are...lots of people do. Only most of us don't...but we are waking up. The Valley of the Dry Bones is waking..

Praise YAH!
