"Back to black story": "Inside summer reggae scene"!

Le 26 juin 2011 par IvoireBusiness - "Reggae ain't got nothing but american blues someone said"!

Furthermore, Reggae still remains today basically a protest against injustice, also a comfort to the oppress. Meanwhile, Reggae is labelled as the mainstream music of the third world, and the only survivor of the "Wailers", cornerstone of this music is unquestionably "Bunny Livingston Wailer» who used to point out in his lyrics the black tribulation in contemporary history. »
Bunny L. Wailer" immortalized these words in his own creation :"( Rise and Shine):"This is a cry of a people robbed and raped from their homeland and loved ones. A people stripped of their culture, their dignity, their liberty and their rights by the presumptuous hands of colonial and imperialistic slavers were cargoed to the west where for over four hundred years they have toiled and laboured and with their blood, their sweat, tears and hands they have built the great city of "Babylon" only to be paid with the wages of the task's masters whip, torture and death! It's indeed a sense of black history because half of the black story has never been told in history. » Today the Africans as a whole seem to live a new slavery days through neo-colonial and imperialistic powers namely in the "Ivory Coast", "LIBYA", "Congo"..."Black culture confiscated": African American’s history can record that when the Africans from the west were brought to AMERICA to be slaves, they were stripped of everything. Their name was taken away, and they had to receive new names from their slaves owners. So they completely lost their culture, because their names were identical to their African tribe. So for generations, blacks in AMERICA have been a people without a culture!
Their culture is what AMERICA told them it should be! A complete cultural brainwash. They have indeed struggled throughout the years to connect with the culture of the motherland "Africa", of their ancestors. But for many blacks in AMERICA, it's too painful to study and learn, because it's impossible to ignore the hardships of the entire experience. It's only recently that blacks in America are beginning to do more research about their African origin in order to embrace their culture in "Senegal , "Ghana" and so on...So by confiscating the culture of blacks in AMERICA, it was a way to keep them enslaved for many generations after slavery was abolished! But nowadays, blacks all over the world must be inspired by the assertion of "Mosa Marcus Garvey": "A man without the knowledge of his culture, past history is like a tree without roots"!
