Repaying the trust of the people

Alred C. Frett

Clinging to Old Habits or Accepting Your Evolution:

Beware the Ides of March… We are all in deep trouble, and Self-sacrifice and the Failure to love ourselves are no solution… You heard this before, but still remain convinced that the Enemy will save you… Fact is, while Slaves worked to death in building America, the Masters slept… Even after slavery, we re-shackled ourselves to the same unfair System, and in the process, lost our self-worth and ambition.

Alred C. Frett

Longing for the Empires of the Past:

We have just exited the shortest month, also known as Black History Month, but we still face Leaders who are firmly fixated on erasing our historic achievements, and maintaining the problems of the past, by silencing the voices of the People… They see us as servants in their Empire, so they focus on retaining power by abusing the People, without realising that more Empires fall from actions inside than outside.

Facing the Reality of Racism:

If Life is good but Racism is bad, then living in denial will not alter a grain of sand or blade of grass... Racism is real and must be exposed in order to be defeated… Those Persons who claim that speaking about it, makes it worse, are wrong, because all our present progress, has resulted from public Debate, and the Caribs, Arawaks, and American Indians, who were silent on their Displacement, suffered badly.

Divorced from justice but not separated from the people

Alred C. Frett

I am Forever Grateful, & Offer Thanks to you the People:

It may be flattering for persons to praise my last Articles as Master Pieces, but the truth is, the things I am saying now are what I have been saying all along… It’s merely a matter of speaking Truth to Power, in order to provide Truth for the Youth... It’s also okay for those who differ with me and call me a Hypocrite, because I promote the full employment of V-Islanders, even as I support the Rights of employed Non-Belongers.
