Heres the thing about valentine right?  I realized, that the older we get, the more our perspectives evolve, I don’t know if they necessarily change into something different, or if that’s the word I would like to use..  I believe that our perspectives are influenced by the experiences we’ve had.  My perspective on valentine’s day feels tainted. I still have a deep aversion, a deep disdain for the day.  I am also a big ambassador of love and i do feel, i do believe that its healthy to encourage love.  I just don’t like the idea that it has been and is being monopolized. That there has been a way people have found to exploit something so precious as intimacy and love and infatuation and the joy of loving someone. Of feeling sensations, good sensations, vibrations about somebody. 

Because love been exploited, the manipulation of that entity, that energy also manipulates those owners who utilize that same energy… being people like you and I.  Being the people who use it as an exploit.  Let’s do some light research on what valentine’s day is all about.  Also, what about the idea of perpetuating these kinds of things amongst ourselves as a society, as a community. What about that?… 

I think that can really be a healthy thing to do amongst ourselves as a people. As a community.  I think that there is something to say about the other holiday celebrations that we have that involve important dignitaries.  People who have represented us culturally, where we as a people, as black people are encouraged, just as much as the other cultural denominations to invest and pay close attention to these commodities. Commodities on these household items, so-to-speak.  These calendar staples.  For us we have an important agenda to adhere to in order to avoid eradication, to avoid extradition, to avoid exploitation, to avoid extinction.  We have to change the game and realize that it is doubly if not triply important to pay attention to our holidays, create our own holidays, and to be ready to fight for our holidays.  To not be distracted by these celebrations that are not conducive to the uplifting of black people.

Black Power to all my people.
