still the questions abound.
yu are in a public space and your opinion can influence as it is spread far and wide.
is wat yu say true? is your opinion accurate and helpful in developing truth
and why is it necessary that your opinion be truthful, especially to westindian audiences?
yu have quoted me but you have not quoted where I have pointed out that you have neglected completely the general westindian negative picture, of 172 years of experience with chinese in the region?
if your intent is to speak truth you must deal with that in depth for it is bedrock westindian experience, and out history cannot be told truthfully without a full exploration of that relationship... and much more along those lines.
when you speak of highlighting lost experience, the work you have exhibited already demonstrates a sort of homecoming event, a reconciliation of you with a past you had lost. yu deal with it as a love...finding ones lost love again.
that may be fine for you but I have a different perspective on all that, that is as valid as anyting you have demonstrated so far.
indeed far more so for I do not see the westindies in all you say. I see the white westindies maybe, not the WESTINDIES COMPOSED OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVER BEEN PART OF IT, AND ARE NOW, THE WHOLE SITUATION!
I am posing here that you cannot speak of the westindies as single groups anymore, minorities as such, from the angle you come. yu have to try to tell the whole story truthfully
it is irrelevant at this stage to approch it from your angle unless you are doing wat deh call ot it monographs or soemthing?
there is so much we know of society and how it came to be, global interconnections etc...the global broad stretches we call western or eastern and the sub-regions etc..
or social control in imperial centres that makes of huge aras of the globe one entity at least administratively, and as time passes far more.
wat is a minority in jamaica..white people.... when white people control the world?
or chinese, when even during Chinas domination by the west Chinas size and influence made it an influential part of the world, an influence so powerful, it still protected chiness in the westidies and elsewhere, and gave chinese decided social advantage over blac, and Indos too, in the region.
and currently as china once again emerges as a world power all I listed has been increased by an exponent of global power.
so wat minority yu talking about?
yuh must define minority because the few chinese in number in Trinidad, or Jamaica hold enormous social power that far trancends this numbers, making minority moot, or limited to a pure numbers thing.
its the same with whites. minority in numbers they ran the westindies. they still run the westindian region and their numbers are still minority.
the maronites as handmaidens of the Jewish power in the world have extraordianry power everywhere they are, especially in the westindies.
the jewish minority, not more than 15-20 million of a world population of billions, controls it all, the whole world mostly. so are they are minority?
the true westindian story has not been told. it is not in the interest of the status quo to collate that story and make it available to all the people. but if we want a peaceful and prosperous westindian society we have to get that story together and teach it to all..for ALL.
I dont see that you are teling such a story Dave6. and I dont think you can.
you dont have it, for you are not ordinary and and by all indications you are not interested.
and even if you wanted to develop such truth and did in fact do it, you would have few places to sell it for the status quo wud block you and target you as a left of centre artist and your career would flow accoridng to that.
you would find yourself among people, fellow artists, who are not favoured by the status quo and you would have to earn your living as you may
