It's 2000, anutha year for the Olympics, right? Anutha year where Afrikan athlete's, representin' nationz that kidnapped their foreparents, using them for free labor, sex and senseless killingz, will dominate winning gold, silver and bronze for their oppressorz land.

This paints a grim and distorted picture of confusion many countries have tried their best to not bring to the table. Ask yourself, how could I represent a country (in particular, the united snakes) that doesn't respect me? And of course, don't look at this personally, take a racial look. I used to have an olympic dream, now I have an Afrikan goal. Starz and stripes on my body remind me of the very starz my Ancestorz saw after receiving their daily beating after the cracking whip left deep blood stripes on their backs. And to think, today, barely 100 yearz later, we wear these uniformz with pride and dignity – willing to be deemed "the fastest/best" as we take our "victory" lap around the track holding their (our oppressorz) flag!

This is a nightmare. The very medalz, athletes fight tooth and nail for, are most likely the same precious elements that killz an average of 33 Afrikanz a day in the diamond, gold and silver mines in Afrika. These companies that melt these precious metalz to their finished form, are probably connected with the greatest crew of conspiratorz the modern world has ever known...The New World Order, aka One World Government (the DeBeers mining company for starterz)!

When I see the hundredz of medalz given out during the 2 weeks of the Olympic festival, I think of where they came from and that each medal represents 33 dead Afrikanz! Oh no, on the contrary, this is not a time of celebration! How about the condition of the people the black athletes represents. I wonder if these athletes ever thought that if they didn't have anything to offer "massa", would they be on the streetz starving mentally, physically and spiritually, like the majority of their people?

Just as the many Afrikanz that represented this country in the warz we had nothing to do with, you'll come home and still be treated "less-than". What ever happened to consciousness amongst the athletes? What happened to John Brown, Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the other bruthaz that stood up in the late 60s?? With people of color dominating the number of contestants, Y isn't there some sort of allegiance between them, to show the "powerz that be" that the injustice must stop, globally! We got a glimpse of that during the 1968 Mexico City olympics when 200 meter gold winner Tommie Smith and bronze-medalist John Carlos took the stand without shoes, wearing black socks and an enclosed black-gloved fist protesting the racism in the u.s. Has anything gotten better since '68?!!? So Y has the Afrikan athlete given up their fight? The Olympics serves as one of the best platformz of relaying the injustices of people and conveying it to the whole world! It seems today athletes are more concerned about NIKE and Reebok contracts and Pepsi and McDonald's endorsements.

I find it difficult for Afrikanz to be so eager to represent their (forced) adopted countries in the Olympics when, for most of the Olympics 100 yearz of history, Afrikanz were not allowed to participate! As soon as we were allowed, we housed it! We not only won gold, we virtually blew out the competition! But the beef is for WHO we won it on behalf of!

Most have not concentrated on the fact that the Olympics is a greek custom. Need I elaborate more on the Greek/Afrikan relationship (instead check our pieces on the Boule' series)?! The grecian influence is being preserved by customz like the Olympics This admonishes the era when greeks ruled and because people support the Olympics, as well as fraternities, sororities and Greek mythology, their story may live on for millenniumz!

According to writer Charles Grantham, "When one really studies Classical Greece and in particular the institution referred to as 'rites de passage',...one soon realizes that Greek men demonstrated certain habits unacceptable in African society and in African institutions." The behavior he is referring to? "Greek iconography and ancient Greek literature, homosexual encounters among Greek males were common..", he addz. According to european writer, Eva Keuls, author of The Reign of the Phallus, they had unnatural sexual relationz between two males with one being a young boy. The relationship consisted, she writes, "between a mature man at the height of his sexual power and need and a young, erotically undeveloped boy just before puberty."

The classical Greeks believed that a real Greek man would have participated in all aspects of the rites de passage, including anal intercourse. This was accepted as a norm 'cause everybody was doing it! Even noted pirates, oops, scholarz like Plato was down with homosexuality! In Kenneth Dover's Greek Homosexuality, he writes, "Plato takes homosexual desire and homosexual love as the starting point from which to develop his metaphysical theory."

I unleash these secrets because it's too late in the day to accept customz, holidayz and ritualz just because they've existed for so long. We are more mature than that and deserve the right to hear both sides of everything! As we reanalyze beliefs and customz that have been forced on our diaspora, we will find we are protecting – either by condoning or silence – a wicked lie. Most everything YT celebrates was done while we were being kidnapped, raped, dehuemanized and murdered, so Y would you think that 100 yearz later this celebration is doing you and your people any good?! C'mon wake up and put that Olympic flame out, Sun! MORE FIRE!!
