rbg - red, black, green

within the plastic case of a dead prez compact disc, i found some words of inspiration. although i believe in all these points, guyanatruth particulary advocates 3, 4 and 5.

hopefully, these words will motivate you to conscious action for yourself and your people.

and yet another. another derogatory act against our women, no doubt engineered by the patriarchs to sustain a terrible stereotype.

this site is hosted for free by tripod.com. in return, they get to launch pop-ups and paste advertisements at the top and bottom of pages. there are many different software programs available (many free) that will get rid of all these ads, transforming the internet into an almost completely ad-free environment. two good ones that i'm familiar with are:

norton personal firewall - an expensive program, but it gets rid of all pop-up and page ads. it also offers dependable internet protection.
google toolbar - the free google search toolbar has a feature that allows you to block pop-up ads. embedded page ads remain.

also, despite being one of the poorest nations in the world, nigerians are the happiest, and here's something amusing.

take it easy. and take it wisely.

ten reasons why guyanese in america shouldn't fly that little golden arrowhead in their vehicles

1. the flag wasn't intended to decorate your sport-utility vehicle, giving you a touch of spice or exoticism to separate you from the other plain immigrants.

2. most likely, you're not doing a single thing to uplift the guyanese nation. therefore, you have no right to raise the flag of the guyanese people.

3. flying the flag in your vehicle implies some kind of guyanese endorsement of your vehicle. guyanese are struggling with a system of institutionalised injustice handed down from the colonisers. they haven't yet found time to approve of your mercedes.

4. you're really not proud of guyana. the flag identifies you as a delegate of guyana, but you can't speak with the american accent and wave the golden arrowhead at the same time. you can't have your cake and eat it, too. raising the flag with one hand means absolutely nothing if you're feeding yourself mcdonalds with the other. choose one.

5. it really saddens and enrages the guyanese nationalist in america who is actually working towards the mental liberation of his/her people (while sustaining the contradiction of even being in america).

6. the flag and the people over which it stands are desecrated when you drive down liberty playing 50 cent's "p.i.m.p."

7. an american flag hangs from your front porch or is pasted on your front window at home.

8. you and your family live in america and, if at all, only go back to guyana for lake mainstay vacations. guyana is not your holiday whore and the golden arrowhead is not your souvenir. you're not an active guyanese nationalist, and do not exploit our flag.

9. most likely, you would never fly a flag in your car in guyana (probably because you were too busy trying to migrate your family to america) so don't do it in america as a lazy, insufficient, overdue, hollow and frankly, a selfishly fabricated show of guyanese patriotism.

10. you'll be in big trouble with racist americans.
