We were promised armed rebellion at every state capital. That did not materialize, which is why I'm saying Iworry thatwe may be miscasting this. If we're thinking, 'It's Trump, Trump is the problem,' and as you mentioned already earlierin the show, Bill, we saw hundreds of people in the streets breaking windows after Biden won.

It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.

my reggae was created to teach the message of truth to the people , especially the youths. Jamaican youths and others all over the world face a most daunting and doubting future because they will not know the true history from which they came.

How many black youths today in america know about the 1811-slave revolt in the louisiana -manchar swamp? how many knew that -christopher columbus- did not discover america? how many youths in jamaica knew that columbus did not discover jamaica? and what about the slave rebellion in morant bay? if we lose our history, we lose ourselves and identity as a people. My reggae teaches the people.
