Let's teach and discuss!


This will be my final post for a long, long time. I have this list on "no mail"
and only check it infrequently as it is. It has now digressed to a point that I
can no longer stay without the most severe of reprimands from my Egun as well as
to Sango. I owe all that I am and all that I hope to be, PERSONALLY in part to
them. As we used to say where I come from, I am "ret to go"! Holler if you
hear me!

In the words of R Kelly, "when a woman's fed up, there ain't nuthin you can do
about it"...

Now I heard the phrase "Ifa does not discrimminate" for the last time without
basis to back it up. My Egun kept me up all night long about this madness. Now
somebody done got into the mind of Ifa now huh? There are some leaps that we
just cannot make with foundation. In a court of law I would object to this
statement on the grounds of it lacking some foundation. Gimme something more
than that somebody to chew on will ya? If you won't after all these years, then
my Egun and I will most certainly will before I go. Ase.

Yes there is discrimmation in Ifa. It began when Olodumare sealed the fates of
all of mankind, when all was created. Ifa was there remember? He is Eleri
Ipin-Witness to Creation, Second to Olodumare. He recorded everything.

Ifa was with the black man when they were worshipping him in Afrika before the
white came came with their ships as the original cash money brothers. He was
very discriminating then. No white man was there.

Ifa was with the black man as the white man was chasing him down along, with the
black man who took money thinking he was doing a favor or helping his family
with that little trinket, not knowing the horrors facing his afrikan brothers
WITH that smiling white man. He was discrimminating then.

Ifa was with the black man as he was led aboard the slave ships in chain,
wondering who the hell these strange looking people were and why they were
bound. Yeah, I would say Ifa discrimminated.

Ifa was with the Afrikan as he lay in the botton of that stinking dark azz ship
not able to talk and wondering where the hell he was. Black skin all around.
Nowhere to go as HE spoke to Ifa and his ancestors. I see Ifa was clear on his
discrimmination right THEN.

Ifa was with the black man as he was offloaded and wondered where the hell he
was as he was poked at, laughed at, branded, whipped and underwent mo' betta
bullshit at the hands of mo' stupid original cash money white men. Ifa was
clear to draw the line at whose side he was on then. The Original CMB beat the
crap out of anybody who called his name.

Ifa was with the black man as he escaped those plantations that HE helped to
build, while his family was destroyed, along with his dignity and culture and
while he carried his Ifa with him. Ifa discrimminated then. That fight was
done with Ifa's help.

All the struggles the black man have EVER had on this side of the water, Ifa has
BEEN there and no one else. Where there is discrimmination, there is the Black
man - the Afrikan. Where there is the Black man- the Afrikan there is Ifa.

Now I ask you, does Ifa discrimmiate? Where is Ifa? Who did he come with? Is
there someone yet again lurking on our shores to take us away yet again?

Intelligence is better then Wisdom says Ifa.
