The Dual Model of economics developed by Professor Sir Arthur Lewis can be applied to BKism and its climbing of the global power ladder, including the ladders of global economic power. Sir Arthur, a St. Lucian was the Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies and in the 1970's Chancellor ...

My current incarnation in a black body has been fun and an interesting spiritual quest, including 40 years of practicing Raj Yoga. In my past life, I elected to take birth in a black body as part of a spiritual contract to help make the world a much better place. Though American culture and others m...

Onthor and Ex-I, I am responding to your previous posts. Ex-I, it is nice of you to read Dr. Rodney's classical work especially from an ex-BK perspective. I can still remember as a dissident BK taking time off from the Sunday afternoon Raj Yoga classes to attend poetry reading sessions and political...

There was a Black caucus. I recalled us having a meeting when we went to Abu in the 80s. I wanted to mentioned two West Indians, the BKs never contacted or tried to contact. One was a famous Cambridge trained PhD physicist who wrote : To Sir With Love. The other was the great CLR James. Just check o...

With respect to Blacks and BKism, there is a Guyanese perspective, global in nature, which historians have neglected. Dr. Walter Rodney, a world authority on African history, was Guyanese and a Pan-African. His classical book, derived from his doctoral dissertation is, 'How Europe Underdeveloped Afr...

Ex-I, there is a body of scholarship on the connection between the sadhu culture and the rasta culture. I think the author is BK Prarad. I will dig up some references. For me, the Hindus genes are part of my DNA, mixed with genes from European royalty and the culture of the Far East. As I indicated ...

Onthor, Thank you very much. I am not on this site to nest up my resume and I do not think any of us are here for that reason. As I said before I am not going to have the Stockholm Syndrome with BKSU. At the same time, I am not ever going to let the experiences at BKSU haunt and hurt me. I'll just m...

I do not want to go into much details as my identity will be revealed. My foot prints and finger prints as a black BK or ex-BK along the marg or pathway of BKSU are unique like the DNA in each of the cells in my body. Even my voice is also unique. The BK experience as an African American has been qu...

During his presidential campaign, Trump had as one of his support group a sect of ultra right Hindu cult praying and meditating each day that he should become President of the United States of America.

I would agree that there is a need to open a discussion on: Is Trump The Anti-Christ? It is public knowledge that Mr. Trump hired a Guyanese pandit to cast spells against Hilary Clinton. Decades ago the Pandit Council in Guyana tried to oppose the BKs entry into Guyana. It seems one of their own was...
