THE SLAVERY-POVERTY INHERITORSIn the islands of the Caribbean, the vast majority of the population can be rightly described as SLAVERY-POVERTY INHERITORS.What do we mean by slavery-poverty inheritors?Slavery-Poverty Inheritors are the uprooted Africans who were stripped of everything and enslaved, and then deliberately kept landless after emancipation, so that they would remain a permanently captive labor force.The Slavery-Wealth Inheritors made this arrangement so as to remove the stigma of being known as slave-masters, and consequently their slaves were no longer known as slaves.In this new deceptive arrangement The Slavery-Poverty Inheritors would be confined to small rented boxes on rented house spots, where their sole every-day function is to work for the continuing enrichment of The Slavery-Wealth Inheritors. However, these captive labor-suppliers are not strangers to hard work. In fact, they worked for hundreds of years without pay before being dumped in the ghetto. But both yesterday and today, their hard work has not prevented them from continually handing down zero wealth accumulation from generation to generation. This curse has been going on for so long that the vast majority no longer question their centuries-long confinement to the plantation’s labor supplying department. If current attitudes are carefully examined, it would seem that there is a widespread belief that no matter what they do and no matter how hard they work, inter-generational povertyis The Slavery-Poverty Inheritor’s God-given destiny.   So now let us look at how wealth and capital continue to bypass these captiveSlavery-Poverty Inheritors,and let us look at how their beaten and subjugated mentality conditions them to readily accept a bone of appeasement without too much thought about the larger reality that signals the continuation of their inter-generational poverty. MEGA CANNABIS GREENHOUSES

FROM SUGAR CANE PLANTATIONS TO CANNABIS PLANTATIONS

What part will the descendants of today’s Rastafari generation play in this emerging billion dollar cannabis industry that is scheduled to replace the sugar industry?Will they be restricted to cleaning marijuana in mega greenhouses for the further enrichment of The Slavery-Wealth Inheritors?Do you remember the time when A Slavery-Poverty Inheritor was treated like he had committed a capital offense if he was caught selling marijuana in an effort to escape poverty? Do you remember the brutality and the decades of repression that prevented The Slavery-Poverty Inheritors from escaping their poverty? Will The Slavery-Poverty Inheritors play the same role in the cannabis industry that previous generations played in the sugar industry? While the right to burn a spliff and plant a few trees without persecution may sound like progress to those who have been long persecuted, the question must be asked: What is the measure of this progress within the larger struggle to end inter-generational poverty?Will this generation’s readiness to settle for the tempting bones of appeasement turn out to be the regret of future poverty-stricken generations?After so many years of brutality and systematic keep-down, full reparations justice that pushes back poverty is the only goal that will be satisfactory. But The Inheritors of Slavery-Wealth have long employed a classic technique called Negro deception. And it goes like this:

Keep the uprooted Africans landless. Keep them locked down in small boxes on a few rented square feet in the ghetto, until their unchallenged landless disadvantage assumes a sense of normalcy.Then exhaust all of their energy in a bitter fight for something that is really nothing when viewed from the perspective of the broader historical reality that is essentially about maintaining Negro servility.  After exhausting their energy drop a bone of appeasement  in the mouth of The Slavery-Poverty Inheritor and laugh all the way to the bank while he is ignorantly celebrating his achievement of rights that do not break his cycle of inter-generational poverty. Just like CROPOVER. When he is celebrating the end of the crop Massa goes to the bank and continues handing down inter-generational wealth. So here is a glimpse of what reparations justice looks like: A BIG NO to high license fees that discriminate against the poor and favor Big Capital. On the principle of land for the landless, facilitate the set up of local food and cannabis cooperatives where land is made available for cultivating both food and cannabis crops. Government assistance is provided to ensure success. Legislation is put in place that prevents heavily capitalized foreign companies from operating to the disadvantage of local food and cannabis cooperatives.  Compensation to those who were fined and jailed during the drug war against Slavery-Poverty Inheritors. The end goal is to put an end to inter-generational poverty by creating prosperous people-centered industry.
