If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Converting From Cents Back To Sense

by Ancestors through Usiku


As usual, with lower self creations
Significance is lost in the translation
Don't let dollars and cents
Overrule knowledge and sense
Don't let dollars and cents
Supported by college pretense
That that education is higher intelligence
When it prefers weakness over strength
Teaches you to give up living using natural sense
For a high degree of human dependence
Become a scholar beholden to dollars
Chain yourself to a job with a slave collar
Employer becomes the master
Of your fate and steps you take
Whether you're at work or not

This system trains you to think you need money
Then trains you to compete and back-stab for that money
But first trains you to borrow and pay money to get trained
To compete for money you may or may not obtain
Something's going on that smells funny
Something's going on that ain't about money
But wait, you are so good at being smart
You continue to play and pay your part
Let criminals take your money from the start
Through taxes, fees and other corrupt legalities
And you repeat proudly
That you're a citizen contributing to society
Yes you are clearly
Giving your energy to a sick society
Allowing others to take money you earned
Like a good intelligent person
You keep on working harder
Than those with more money
And the gap spreads farther
Ninety-nine percent of the time

Obviously, working hard
Using this philosophy
Is not the key
Which is why
You can be locked out of things easily
Even from being healthy
Kept in poverty even with money
Understanding is the key
Richness of health
Money is a tool forged from natural resources
It is not the first, main or only recourse
Dollars and cents is one of many ways
Money is worth something but not self-worth
Once knowing self is placed before other things you seek
Conversion from cents back to sense will be complete
