Hey I have faced the repercussion all my life. Especially from whites that were brainwashed into believing that they were superior, and Americans who ware brainwashed into believing that you can only be good in only one area and dumb in all others.

Well You know even in Jamaica the use to believe I was up to some sinister plot because i am always offering advise to people who ask me. I was never too busy. And Yes i knew a lot of musicians/ entertainers. Since as artists they have a tendency to less of an inhibition. They will ask whatever they want to know I've been involved a few well known musicians including third world, Bob Marley, yellow Man, Marcia Griffiths, and lots of politicians. Not to mention business people . The problem is that I love to be free to do whatever I want. i do stuff when i want and stop when I want.
The problem is that most people are enslaved to things and status. they are their status. while with me I will let go if anything as soon as i think it is becoming too important to me. My bankers have many times call me a fool, but within months they simply shake their heads, when they see me successful and making more money from my new project. In Jamaica because it is a small economy, any business you do will attract lots of competitors as soon as it seem profitable. Usually the competitors involve your banker. i know that, and i always sell and move on. i always have some secret about what I do that nobody else knows but me. usually it is the key to being an outstanding success. You see whenever i do things i never want to be a success. i have to be an outstanding success. i never compete with people. i compete with my own goals. And they are never limited by what has been done by any person. I know i am different, probably crazy, but I would never exchange my life for anything . This situation with people who don't know me finding my experience extraordinary. has been the story of my my life for ever. since I was a kid.
One thing I will say I was well prepared by my parents.
So i can take it and keep doing what i do. the problem is that those who know me including family think I am extraordinary. they seek my views on just about any topic they are doing. right now i have college freshmen,to graduate who will call me up on even exams they are doing and want my approach. It is about never limiting myself . i let life prove my limits. the only things I will not involve in are immoral, and illegal. I will also research any topic to the level that satisfies my curiosity. One more thing i am lucky that I have a reasonably good memory recall system.

</div></div> There are many of us. the problem is that if we were ever white, we would have been held up as some genius. since we are not, they would rather we never existed. I got my Harvard scholarship by being in a class with a visiting professor, and hee seem to have been involved in some sort of scouting, because he asked mt o go to a website and do a project/then he gave me a proposal that included an respectable income go to school. He Told me point blank that i was wasting my time i the college then.He was like so enthusatic that it amazed me. Not that another person was amazed, but that this visiting professor that everyone else is all gaga about was amazed at what I was able to do mentally and at what speed. even today he still say that. incidentally the prep school i attended in jamaica when the principal retired they invited me, and he gave me a citation that of all the kids that passed through his school i was the most unusual. i was doing high school work in prep school without studying . As a matter of fact i still do not do revision for exams. will simply

Well said MGee!

Only the confident and the intelligent recognizes, respects and celebrates that special character in another person.

My father always said, and I'll never forget, that one of the biggest expressions of weakness is to first articulate doubt...and our strength will always shine through, when we try first to understand.

the american motto talks of 13 colonies coming together not people....there were still slaves and other non-citizens when this saying was used. The JA motto is warmer in sentiment
