Dr. Amos Wilson in one of his lectures talks about the relationship of the doctor or controller of an experiment on rats. He talks about the relationship of control, manipulation, evil of the experimenter imposed on the rats.  As a result of these experiments the rats take on traits that are not inherit in their nature.  At the end he makes the statement which is very related to the dynamic of the discussion in this room.....we continue to want to identify with the doctors and not the rats.

This little yurugu infection has agents that will come to the immediate defense of the host to protect it.

It's so so sad to hear some of my people. The eagerness to protect eureurasians, in the name of "not being like them", which is ironic since our whole existence "development" is aimed at being like them. These people will jump to rescue a white person in trouble, but have not shed a single tear for our ancestors.

On another note, thank you Dr. Kambon and co for these discussions and videos.  It keeps those of us not surrounded by Kmtyws, still connected in some way. I will be in GH in January and am really hoping there will be at least one discussion so I can attend.

Yes. The point...the white man is in the room even when they are not in the room.

...and the white woman, the one who gave birth to and raised the white man to be who/what he is.

It's the situation on the ground so you have to know how to deal with it.
No problem. School will be out of session in January, but we may run programs at The Lion House Kmtyw Cultural Center.
