You don't see one political leader?

Tell me something, who fund these political leaders?

Who own the media I mean The sources of information.

What are the sources available to these black people You are reverie g to?<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jah_yout</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><span style="font-size: 11pt">tomorrow is garvey's earthday;

what we need to examine is why so little has changed since garvey was alive and denounced the babylon system of official racism against the african strain...

we need to analyze why 70 years after garvey's death we are less conscious as a people and have less pride in our race....

why have africans/ african-descendants largely ignored garvey's works yet now scream about racism like dem naw nuh sense...

unnu tink di white/brown elites are going to just hand over power and riches to a bunch of black stooges who do not care about their history or the struggles of their forefathers...
a people who have denied their own existence as an african people...
a people who strive to be something else --- anything other than what they are...

i have not seen ONE jamaican leader since the time of garvey who has ever addressed this stuff...
we can post articles from now til the cows come home that there is racism or colorism in jamaica...but we the blacks are just as much to blame for this situation;

only a fool expects his enemy to save him</span> </div></div>

Hod did i miss this. First the definition of average from Websters dictionary
a :......a : a single value (as a mean, mode, or median) that summarizes or represents the general significance of a set of unequal values b : mean 1b
2
a : an estimation of or approximation to an arithmetic mean b : a level (as of intelligence) typical of a group, class, or series &lt;above the average&gt;
3
: a ratio expressing the average performance especially of an athletic team or an athlete computed according to the number of opportunities for successful performance
— <span style="font-size: 14pt">on average or on the average
: taking the typical example of the group under consideration </span>

Now would you consider the son of a <span style="font-size: 14pt">wealthy German Jew </span>a average Jamaican? What percentage of Jamaicans can claim they had a father who was a <span style="font-weight: bold">wealthy German Jew</span>, who was able to give them a small fortune to purchase ships, so that they can peruse their dreams of getting rich, investing in gold in a foreign country.That is the story behind Jamaican's so called first &quot;black millionaire&quot;.I am not taking credit from GEORGE STEIBEL ,but is life story does not fit the definition of a &quot;average&quot; Jamaican.
