| Ask Sundiata!
i had an idea today that i thought i'd run past y'all, especially you young folx. As you may or may not know, Sundiata is a genius, for real. This Bro. is sitting down there in a dungeon with all this knowledge and we need to get some of it, right! i've been talking to him pretty regularly lately and i'd like to be able to ask him something from one of you that he can chew on and respond to, i'd like to at least try. So, would you be interested in doing this? What would you like to ask? Holla black! P.S. i really, really, encourage EVERYBODY to communicate with Bro. Sundiata *directly*, my thought was just to have an open dialogue with him that everyone could benefit from and share. Sundiata Acoli (s/n Clark Squire) # 39794-066 P.O.

Just in case I don't get around to asking him myself. I feel bad about being ready to ask one of our warriors something and either getting caught up in my own life or just getting all shy or whatever at the last minute. So maybe you can ask him what is his views on this whole presidential fiasco.

A genius, that's for sure!! Much props' for the initiative Queen! I'd like to ask him many many things! The painful & historic 'presidential fiasco' is a very good start! I'd like to know if he has heard about the situation in France the past years? The racial tension, the riots, the election of Sarkozy, the way Frankkkreich 'deals' with the sons and daughters of ex-but-still colonized Afrikans who have immigrated in this doomed land to build their streets & homes, to manufacture theirs cars, keep their children & clean their sh!t? How does he perceive our Afrikan counterpart already caught in the belly of Europe and those who're dying at sea in frail skiffs or totally ingored in the Sahara desert to get in Europe? Does he think the possibilities to spark a massive & organized repatriation movement with first & second generation Afrikans born in europe or raised in europe are higher than with our brothers & sisters in amerikkka? Is that not the best way to show our brothers that life in the western world is nothing but being modern slaves ?!! What he thinks of French & European predatory neo-imperialism in Afrika? And also about Chinese presence in motherland? Is not Darfur the ill-omen expression of rising China's huge greed for natural ressources & frenetic economical conquest troughout our dear continent that fortells an even more killing of Afrika? I've written to him once, but very shortly after sis Nattyreb, you have posted an update saying the crakkkaz have moved him so I'm not sure he has received it but I won't fail to do it again. Free Brother Sundiata & all our POW! We cherish them all!

Wow, asante sana for your enthusiasm, Bro.! All of your questions are fantastic, i'm worried that he might need some blackground info sent into him on some of the specifics but i'm sure that he could give a response if you broke it down a little bit to more general political questions, i.e. the part about a massive and organized repatriation. i love the way you so passionately capture what's happening in France and globally, you are such a tremendous resource for us here! i would really love to see you write more yourself, now that we're talking about writing! Anyhow, thanks again, i'm going with the presidential question now but i will definitely return to you. In fact, if this works well and Bro. Sundiata is "feeling" it, i want to try to find some way to tie it into his site which the Bros. here have created/maintain for him at sundiataacoli.org.  Quote:
