So IJ started killing all the children related to Marcus  &nbsp who was a lawyer; Garvey since he thought they could, some how, instinctively understand the law. He killed the Grand children and took out their eyes and would joke about how they will be able to just feel the law.  Who is this IJ? Is he Herod the great? The children and grand children were his relatives and there is nothing wrong if the Island, within its gene pool, produces a few genuine and bonafide mathematicians along side the cooks, doctors, gardeners and architects. There is nothing wrong if they get inspired watching Garvey, Bustamente, Manley, Clarence Thomas and Thurgood Marshall videos or Perry Mason and want to be lawyers. Those are the black people in real history and they can be the lawyers. Did you see the movie Philadelphia? The lawyer guy was the nice black guy who also does the cowboy movies now more often and the true American submarine captain movies. He is the nice and very good black guy. why don't we go to the Chinese restaurant in Ochee or get some ice cream from the Chinese man just off de Hope Road; That would be a fabulous idea; fabulous! Now, if someone who was more white or fare skin or maybe darker than you decided to pretend to deliver something to you and told the English that he knew he gave it to you and it killed the recipient sometime in the 1920 or 1940's or 1968, what is that to the white man in Indiana who asked you to make the delivery to that person as part of your job or your association? What is it to the person to the person who is the recipient? If you need an acknowledgment of your pain or the pain of your ancestor who suffered this nonsense at the hands of a Jamaican or a West Indian, your pain, dismay, hurt and regret at this culture surviving more than one generation is acknowledged.   It seems that IJ was given a weed to drink and eat and it may have made him dyslexic. He said the white lady gave it to him and seems to have wanted people to help him read ever since but he also developed a kind of profound resentment for some people who may have grown in a fear of his resounding public presence and towering national and international authority that they would not turn off the light all night until the work was digested and the essay was complete since it was the least they could do even if it  was certainly for one's own benefit but also for one's appreciation of one's amcestors. Not every black man was fortunate enough to  have the white lady give them lessons and tutor them; certainly tutor them so that they would be good.  He is greatly honored; this IJ.
