RZA responds to his comments about the south that offended Jay Electronica in stating that though he doesn’t recall specifically what was said, in using his family as an example, black people in the south have not evolved equally as black people up north. He mentioned the lack of education and drop out rate, unsanitary dietary practices like eating pork and a lack of resources for books that can aide in the knowledge of self. I was born & raised in Brooklyn. I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. My English is fucked up at times as ya can clearly see from my typos and grammatical errors on my site. I was raised on pork and still eat it occasionally. For a short period of time my family was on welfare. I know of all the book stores and stands from Fulton Street Mall & Pitkin Ave. in Brooklyn to 125th St in Harlem and have yet to go & purchase not one piece of literature to give me knowledge of self. I’ve been to The Allah School of Medina on Livonia in Brownsville Brooklyn and the The Allah School of Mecca on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard in Harlem many times and I’m still not a Five Percenter. I say all this to say what RZA ignorantly failed to mention is that these same things that he is accusing black southerners to being a victim of plague brothers & sisters in New York, other northern cities as well as all over the world. The black race as a whole due to slavery, racism and our own issues hasn’t evolved as it should but despite all that has been taken away from us from our land, culture, identity, name, freedom and lives we (including those in the south) have made great strides. Hey RZA, instead of criticizing the 85, civilize em. - ICE
