Yeah, I was speaking with Agya Kwadwo about the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law in the sense of should we think/do/say things exactly as Nana Marcus Garvey said it (letter of the law) or pursue better terms based on Abibifahodie (spirit of the law)

@Ọbádélé Kambon: welp, being biased, the spirit of the law would be the most affective, given the historical context of Papa Garvey -- ex, god concept and dem ting

Yeah, I think it helps keep us from getting embroiled in the idea like this is some optional cultural practice when really it's the norm across all existing species on the planet intent on surviving. All those who diverge from it, including humans (and/or krakkkaz) are on the way out.

krakkka culture through (anti-)Black music is a thing. I've thought about all the rap songs where the person declares that he's the Black version of some krakkka mafioso, cartoon character, tycoon, you name it. But when it comes to "love" R&B takes the cake as a direct injection of krakkka "values" if you can call them that.

Mambo Ama Mazama said in a lecture once, in context of Nana Jan-Jak Desalin, "what kinda king has only one woman"
