      Did Nana Marcus Garvey made mention of W.E.B Du bois on if he is depending on higher education to solve the race problems in America, he would be walking between now & eternity & never see the problem solved? Was it a situation where they never saw eye to eye on issues relating to us as a people & our liberation? Were they like a Malcom & a Martin in their time somewhat?

        ok, I can imagine there was great tension between them as there is among many of us today because of similar reasons and other things. There was a talk of Nana DuBois being apart of the black boule by Steve Cokely and that he played a part in booting Nana Garvey from d united snakes because he was getting too powerful and wasn’t a servant to the king. Steve Cokely is said to be a conspiracy theorists so I’m not sure how much in-depth his work gets looked at here. What I find interesting looking at many person’s work is that at times it’s like many of our people wanted to out do each other somewhat or claim they have best knowledge or truth or right or only truth and that if our people aren’t subscribing or getting with their program they are remaining slaves and will be lost, like its some kind of competition and there is some reward at the end. For some strange reason this reminds me of a mentality that religions have, where they bombard people with tons information, so that they may gain followers and routinely guilt trip followers to keep them in line and if they don’t comply they going to be lost and punished forever. I question the motives of such movements or groups. Because of heavy religious influence and abuse I can pick up energy and vibe in other places in relation to it and it makes me resistant and more so now as an adult because as a child I had no say but to submit and obey even through whipping. No fault of my parents by any means but it was what was done to them as a unhealthy coping mechanism, so they projected it unto me as well, but I will not pass it on. So I reject and resent anything in this like manner shape or form that is going to render me confined or restricted in like manner of religion.
