of hypertension and take two diabetes there is an epidemic in the caribbean sixty percent of all black people in the caribbean over the age of sixty sixty percent of all the black people in the caribbean over the age of sixty have hypertension diabetes or both it is an epidemic that is a stretch and the capacity of these governments to control it has to do with slivery is over but we are now and the jet stream of the consequences we are now in the jet stream we are sick and if you go into a hospital you will hypertensive and there isn't a family anywhere in the caribbean that half of the members over the age of fifty do not have a chronic disease and let me tell you that the only other place in the world that has the same health profile as the caribbean is the state of mississippi for the same reason for the same purpose for the same reason the same reason denigration exploitation and if you go into a hospital hypertension they will give you medication they're probably about six or seven different types of drugs that they will give you but you know what they don't work very well on this because the are clinically tried on white folks hypertension drugs are drugs that are ingested go into the bloodstream the brain sends a message to the cells to open up to allow things to happen with white is a ninety five percent response to the cells and how the drugs work with black folks is a seventy percent response because we are different but guess what guess what the drugs work very well on the africans in africa so the africans in africa have the same very good response as white folks it we who have been genetically modified by slavery we had the ones who are the problem we are the ones with the problem we are the ones before and we go to the pharmaceutical companies and we say ok what is required we need to do some pharmaceutical research and biochemical research is just a matter of doing bio chemical research take some d n a samples do all the cell work on the africans and they for and have the drugs adjusted a little bit to accommodate our genetic structures and you know what the pharmaceuticals they only fifteen million black people in the caribbean are we going to spend have been workin in our medical faculty to do that pharmaceutical research that biochemical research to make the adjustments and i can tell you it can be done but it is very expensive research very expensive because many of the people in the caribbean who have died of strokes heart attacks connery disease could be alive if we had the appropriate medication to treat this is who's specific to us because we have to be modified by them to just leave reprocess it's a major research on the take and it needs to be done and if we want to save our lives in the future this research has to be done and these drugs must be adjusted then there's a question of illiteracy illiteracy take jamaica for example as to largess society in the english speaking sixteen fifty five to nine hundred sixty two when it became independent three hundred years at the end of that process when jamaica became independent and the british moved out to make an flag winter seventy percent of the black people in jamaica were functionally illiterate they're left after three hundred years haven't taken all the riches out of jamaica and used the people for the there is no nation on this planet there is no body of economics as a variable to us that can take a nation of three quarters of its people cannot read and write and develop within fifty years it is impossible the government of jamaica does its best invest heavily in education up to forty percent sometimes of the national budget goes into education and health but the problem the inherited was so enormous and what is true of jamaica is true of every other island across the region in terms of the challenge of rutan illiteracy and making sure all of our people have a shot at college we say to the british government you have created this context you need to come and work with us on an and all across the caribbean and also i have noticed recently in west africa there is something called skin bleaching where black folks are bleach and the blackness out of the beautiful skin across the in the cities we see black folks psychologically in peers and bleach and the beautiful blackness out of their skin because the world continues to tell them that they can is to black recently in treme that there was a public conversation where it was said that the leader of the opposition is too black to be prime minister an african knowledge network schoolchildren across the caribbean schoolteachers or to be able to take hundreds of children every summer to west africa to attend other people we are the only people on this planet that do not know specifically where we are from and that is the damage that has been done i spend i spend much of my summers in europe village in germany this village in poland and greece and england and ireland they know exactly which village their ancestors and america came from and they go to visit those villages you cannot communities we will know we will know we will get there but we need a program to move the next generation of young folks out of this hemisphere on regular educational trips and again we say that cancellation because we know that our governments have found themselves with tremendous fiscal gaps largely because i have said since the independent spirit they have been using public expend them to a summit to discuss this ten point nominal movement in the history of the world it will be a great moment it will be a great moment i hope that those governments of you from caricom to sit in a formal room table to discuss this legacy of the crimes they have committed we hope all well meaning people do hope that they will go to seek justice i am an academic and my training insists upon forms of conversation in the right context with information and knowledge and if human goodwill solutions can be foam and the nuremberg trials in germany there was no precedent to handle that kind of situation the germans had decided the third reich to march millions of black peoples jewish peoples and gypsies into those concentration camp there was no law no court with any background history on how to handle that case but the judges of the world were creative and i have great confidence in j great confidence in jurists to creatively find mechanisms and machinery to achieve objectives that are required for the moment i do believe that absolutely i do believe that  large it is such an international crime that i cannot imagine any system of law or diplomacy that could bring justice to such a crime and i say  if you cannot imagine if a crime is so large that your imagination cannot be wrapped around it in order to find a power to justice i say collectively all of us in here can find we can find it so no crying no crime is too large no crime is too large and this crime has been the greatest crime of the modern era and all of us will work together to find a way forward i thank you so student of the honorable elijah muhammad i could never thank allah enough for his intervention in our affairs in the person the great man the guy who came among us and raise from among us the honorable elijah mohammed to lead teach and gu so is in the cause of the liberation of our people and the liberation of all a great  the great pastor reverend is no words that can express my joy just to have a chance to see thank you so much introduction and i find myself really in the fact that we were in the slaves and the fact that you had gone on sorry about that but when you really think about those who went before us and the price that we pay to put us where we are but i think you know my family didn't want me to come out today because i just came out of the hospital it's not known but i was in a weakened condition but there was something about today and this man dr beccles and prime minister and this great brother ron daniels that i had to be here in so for but the thought that has come to my heart i read his book and his book should be up for us to get and read on reparations and th will always need revitalisation press on but don't don't don't go too far when i read the book white governments they knew the truth if you want in every town in every nation where africa's children have suffered realize that this is  scuse me i'm a spiritual man i'm feeling too good and those with him by the beautiful people that have been talking and fighting for reparations common man people sorry we just have to stop making excuses all the enemy got to do is offer you a little position and you forget the suffering of your people even touch all that his brilliant research and scholarship has this man is a walking encyclopedia on what he's talking about and there are many more all of us i'm not going there let's get that straight we need unity we sure do we need unity with the people who want reparatory just children and grandchildren a future and the future is repairing just so let's revitalize the move maybe i should have stayed in a hospital if you want to live your life and make your life have meaning give you a life to something big and i say this because we sometimes don't put god in the  real very very real in this fight right now as we speak take america down now you don't you don't control nowhere but god is in the hell out of ame you mean a big plane just need to understand really because the caribbean where my parents are from but the caribbean again
