This is a time of the year when most of our people are decieved by Santa Claws, and are caught up in the moods of sqandering and wasting financial and other resources. People just think that they have to be dressed up in expensive garments, and they must be new and be the latest fashion. Many people will go out of their minds, trying to be with this popular Christmas trend. I do think that African people would be better off, if they abolish Chrismas out of their lives, and use the money, time and energies which they waste on Christmas, to uplift the African race everywhere. Look at the conditions of our youths, they are caught up in this Santa Claws deception, and as a result, they will put themselves at the risk of being placed in Jails, just to be seen in some new kind of designer shoes and clothes, and it is indeed a shame.
The resources which are being squandered on Europeans holidays, could help to build many skills training centers for African people in Mama Africa as well, as in the African Diaspora.
So instead of our sons and daughters spending their time, idling on the street corners, and becoming violent to each other, be cause of poverty and other social deprivations, they would be better off, attending these skills training centers, to acquire some abilities on how to work, and produce prosperity for African people everywhere.
Take for instance, we are trying to complete this African Women Quarters in Shashamane Ethiopia, and it seems like such a hard thing to do, because we are too poor, and yet, we spend millions of dollars on cigarettes, alcohol, beers, and so many other things which we could do without, considering that they only make us sick, but we continue to nourish those bad habits on a daily basis.
It would be good, if you could all check out your daily activities, and try to see, the areas where you are wasting your money, and instead of wasting it, make a contribution to the Rastafari Empress Quarters in Shashamane Ethiopia, so that there can be addtional shelter, for our people as they travell from time to time to Ethiopia the land of our fore parents.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE
