9234, My uncle's a psychiatrist
Posted by kemetian, Tue Jan-22-02 12:43 PM
he deals w/ ppl who have relocated here from the caribbean and time and again he finds that ppl who exhibit the dis-eases that ppl up here have are the ones who have been quickest to give up our way of life. no doubt u can't replicate every single thing up here, but the further away they move from it, the more "american" di-seases they have. all these whole bunch of disorders ppl have up here, u'd be hard-pressed to find back home.

u c if ppl would just stick to what they know instead of running down these ppl's crazy culture, they'd be a lot better off. mind u, i don't rule out the Tuskegee Experiment-like set-ups i've been hearing about on the continent. but i think it's an attack on the indigenous way of life from all sides really. now i hear there's a television station out of South Africa that transmits to a great portion of the continent, nonsense shows most sensible ppl here try to AVOID.

i just find that when We do We, We are best off.
