...nonsense. Her father is Jamaican, the Blacks in Jamaica have ancestors who were transported as slaves from Africa fo the Americas. That is why she is also African American.Una nor go school at all. "East Indian culture" does not apply to American racial demographic grouping

You're spot on and as such, i have to agree with you in all your determinations above.

Thanks for taking the time to break it down meticulously.

Aha! Now that's cleared up, lets get to working on supporting the soon to be US president, the first of it's kind, Kamala is a go-getter, and you can tell she's locked-in and ready to make history.

Have you taken advantage of the available student loan yet? I ask because you seem to have incurred expenditure (rent) before ensuring you have the revenue to pay for it, which is not exactly good business, and which an education might have helped you know to avoid so your current expenditure could have been saved up to buy equipment.



Of course it might be that the shop is in the family and is rent free, in which case you have assets which you could have used to generate income to purchase the equipment you require.

Good morning great brother, thanks for you're speedy intervention the other day.

You are correct on the US politics discussion, and i concede to the logic you presented in your argument, furthermore, given that the Obama family and others have weighed in on the matter, and regardless of her east Indian background, i now realise the need to put down any criticism and back Kamala Haris for the top office.

I apologise for not recognising this in the first instance.

Yes, this may not be the perfect candidate but it dang well is the perfect opportunity to vote in the first female president of the US, and that in itself is something quite special and worth fighting for.

budaatum:


It was not given to a recording studio! And there's no reason why the trust should have been handed to a family member when Nina herself had handed it over to Mariam Makeba, a non-family member.

Nina Simone's assets in question was
awarded to Sony and San Pasqual Fiduciary Trust Company and no, it wasn't awarded to Miriam Makeba as you accurately expressed; leaving her prized assets in the care of Miriam Mekamba was indeed Nina Simone's wishes.

Assuming, they did that, i dont think anyone would have anything else to say. That would be closure on those matters.

However, they didn't, and chose to award it to a Recording Studio.

This is what was alluding to from the jump.

Those assets ought to have remained in the African American community precisely where they belong.

budaatum:

Kelly Simone was willed assets in her own right that she was never stripped of.

This is very true, however, that doesn't make what they did any better.

budaatum:


Second, her daughter mismanaged the trust and was rightfully stripped of managing the trust, regardless of her being African American.

Eventhough, i wholeheartedly agree with the logic here, under no condition should those assets have been allowed to leave the hands of the African American community, if they couldn't trust the Simone family, there are various options they could have considered that wouldn't have been as draconian as the one they seem to have gone with.

budaatum:

As to whom it was handed to to manage it, did you have someone else in mind?

Yes, anyone in the Simone family.

Definitely not a Recording Studio.

budaatum:


First, the most prized assets were not left to her daughter, so your "dispossess" is null and void, since you can't be disposed of what isn't yours...

You're completely and utterly incorrect.

Lisa Simone Kelly was left in control of all those assets as of 2013, therefore, yes, she was, unceremoniously dispossessed.

budaatum:


No she did not will her assets to her only daughter!

I wasn't referring to here most prized assets here, i merely was refferring to other assets thats the reason i took the time to stressed that.

Eitherway, you can have that.

Thats not the point, is it?

The point is Lisa Simone is the only daughter of an African American treasure who was done dirty by team Harris.

This is the crux of the matter.

budaatum:


Simone's most prized assets were never willed to the Simone family to begin with. They were willed to a trust for the education of kids.

RéAnna Simone Kelly was found to have mismanaged the trust and was rightfully stripped of her trusteeship.

Dude, im not here to spoon feed you.

Kindly go and read the link posted earlier.

Furthermore, you didn't answer my question.

The whole point of this is for you to provide a reasonable explanation for why anyone dispossess an African American assets so as to award a Recording Studio?

Answer my question or kindly cease quoting me.

Answer my question?

budaatum:


This is not a true statement. Nina Simone did not will her assets to her daughter!

Amujale:


You are completely and utterly incorrect.

She did will her assets to her daughter, its just that the  most prized asset is the  "charitable trust" that is meant for the education of kids.

Meaning that she did will her assets to her only daughter, why wouldn't she?

Answer my questions?

Kindly provide us proof from anywhere whereby its proven that Nina Simone didn't will anything to her only daughter.

Sources please, because this is a big fat LIE

budaatum:


From the above, Nina Simone's "most prized asset" was left to the "charitable trust" that is "meant for the education of kids", and not willed to RéAnna Simone Kelly to treat as personal income.

You obviously have comprehension issues.

Thats precisely what I relayed in the post that you're responding.

.....

budaatum:


Below are some views on the matter.

Nina Simone did not will her assets to her family. She put it in trust to educate kids. And if her daughter was mismanaging the trust by using the revenue for her personals as alleged, she would have needed to be removed as manager, and the race of new managers would have been irrelevant.

You are completely and utterly incorrect.

She did will her assets to her daughter, its just that the most prized asset is the "charitable trust" that is meant for the education of kids.

You don't know what you're on about.

Kamila and her cronies did Lisa Simone dirty, period.

You can argue in circles all you want, the bottom line is that what the6 did was vile.

You can always admit to the truth, it doesn't hurt.

You still haven't explained why her assets were transferred from the Simone family to a Recording Studio.

Explained that, Go!

budaatum:


This is not a true statement. Nina Simone did not will her assets to her daughter!

Ok, whatever dude.

You obviously don't know how well she loved her daughter.

Nina Simone passed away leaving one child, that child is Lisa Simone.

According to you, an African American woman who spent her entire life fighting against the 'deep state', would make a full 360 turn and award all her life savings to a Recording Studio instead of her one and only child.

Frankly, noone believes that narrative except you.

bemeruca:


Ijebosb is suffering from cognitive dissonance. He was even arguing against his own position as he tries to ingest lies to confirm his bias.

Super Facts

The South African military are the strongest on the continent given that they are said to be the only one on the continent that possesses nuclear capabilities.

Although it must be said that the Nigerian military is eroding their lead on the conventional side.

I did find this link
Seems more like someone was committing fraud.

Nina Simone is an African American treasure who passed away April 21st 2003, leaving a vast estate and charitable trust.

As of 2013, this was in the control of her only child, her daughter, Lisa Simone Kelly.

In light of what has occurred in plain sight under the current US legal system, one would have to question the methods used during the process of disposessing the only heir to Nina Simone so as to award her mother's most prized assets to a Recording Studio?

How is that fair?

When Black America is fighting tooth and nail in order to open legit avenues whereby one may be able to access "generational wealth" for good and ultimately create a somewhat level playing field, here comes Kamala who you claim is one of us, moving completely sideways so as to block any such effort.


I submit to the forum, that outside of the ordinary, such as 'beefing', there is no African American anywhere on planet Earth who would work to divert the assets of a national treasure such as Nina Simone; would make such a move against another African American, period.


Summary, Nina Simone spent all her positive energy, sweat and tears so as to create a future for her daughter and loved ones, only for the best part of the inheritance to then be unceremoniously snatched away from her by team Harris.

Ultimately, Lisa Simone is accused and convicted of defrauding her own inheritance, make that make sense.

Wait, theres more, while you're at it, (trying to make sense out of something that doesn't make any sense, that is), lets assume one might, could use any one legal argument in an attempt to make sense of the above observation (frankly, such arguments can and will be easily
rebuffed.) then, how about explaining the reasoning behind then awarding all those assets to a Recording Studio?

ijebosb:


She is born of a Jamaican dad and Indian mother who immigrated to the US. There is no pure African American if that is what you are thinking. Every African American is or is a descendent of someone who immigrated here or was forced here from another country.

As to the identity, a person of mixed ancestry can choose which one to identify with or both. It's simple. She can choose to identify with the culture of her Jamaican, Indian or because she was raised in American as an African American or all three. Her choice. Her joining a black sorority says it all.

Are you going to answer my question?

Yet, you continue to spout false assertions.

Since, you continue to claim that she is African American, then, why does she identify as being an East Indian descendant.

Frankly, you're not making much sense and are simply allowing your emotions to cloud your judgement.

Furthermore, you aren't disputing the fact that she's proven to be bad for Black America, you're silence on this can translate to mean that you could care less about the African American community so long as you get to fantasize about the possibility of what you deem to be the first Black woman to campaign for President of the US. Eventhough, this has already proven to be false.

Are you?

Assuming you aren't disputing these facts and yet, continue to spout these false assertions, regardless, then you have no argument here and are clearly pretending to be delusional.

ijebosb:


These questions sound like things you should be able to figure out if that is truly your intention.
Good Luck.

Not really, its you claiming she's African American when you know full well that she isnt.

Leading to the fact that on her watch, it will be more of the same, the unjust killing, maiming and outright discrimination of Black America, with the provocateur general supposedly at the helm? No?

ijebosb:


So, she is no longer 100% Indian?
This is Kamala's dad.


You can believe whatever you want to believe.
But while you believe that, Black Americans and the Black sorority she pledged when she was in College will be out in force for her.

All that is rhetoric.


Kindly answer my question.

If according to your rhetoric she's African American, then how is it that when she was sworn into the senate she identified as East Indian American?

And, why is it that if she is African American as you're claiming, its recorded in black and white that the House made a big thing about the first female of Indian descent being sworn in?


Furthermore, anyone can claim to be from any ethnicity, directly speaking to the genuine better-to-best intentions that exist in the good people of the world that are out there, well, yes, that's 'fair game', we can does with the good energy, however, it doesn't automativally work that way, for someone that has more extended families outside of the African pyche than the next dude, they especially have to earn their considerations, least one is at the risk of letting into our livelihood any random person we come across on the globe due to the mere fact that they look like us, without waiting to observe whether the random person does or doesn't express any good considerations towards anyone of us, and this is what makes not taking into consideration the many red flags that are highlighted here, a questionable outlook.

Why should any African American choose a oken candidate when there are a plethora of talent that exists in the real, proper and loyal African women's world that exist out there, and that constitutes the majority of African American women?

Provide one good reason.

Its important to note that "skinfolk aren't always kinfolk", and here is a great example that exemplifies that saying.

ijebosb:


Her mom is Indian
Her dad is Jamaican

She is considered African American.
The African American community considers her African American.
Period

Try again, her dad isnt that Jamaican.

You're obviously dealing in half-truths, here is the absolute facts and the truth, her dad himself is half Indian and half Jamaican.


She is NOT considered African American by any stretch of the imagination.

How can i say this?

I can say this due to the fact that assuming having all these same traits, she was someone who worked tirelessly to better Black America and put it out there how African American she is and believes that she is, then, she might could have been considered African American.



Furthermore, how is it that when she was sworn into the senate, she did so under her Indian ancenstry?

Let's face the facts, Kamila Haris is American with Indian and "partial" Jamaican roots, this makes her Indian American, it doesn't make her African American.

ijebosb:


Do you have a link to anything about this? This post doesn't give a lot of information.

I did find this link
Seems more like someone was committing fraud.

Hopefully she has more proof of this than in this article otherwise she's not going to get a good reception, esp. suing this to try to go after the maybe first Black Female Pres.

The African woman is God, aint suggesting the African woman created the Universe here, but that the Black woman is fundamental to all of human kind.

Secondly, Kamila Haris is neither Black[sic] nor identifies as Black or with the Black community.

She is 100% East Indian, Dravidian.

Granted that the current President of the US - Joe Biden has played an absolute stunner, using Kamila in this way, however, African Americans are politically literate and will easily see through the play.

Furthermore, perhaps you ought to pay more attention to policy rather than allowing our emotions to cloud our judgement.

Kamila Haris is an East Indian, a Dravidian, not a Black Woman and is a prolific provocateur of the incarceration of Black America and this is off the back of being brought up under the tutelage of some of the most decorated politicians that exist out there, who happened to be of Black America.

To summarise, assuming Kamila Haris was presented without the counterproductive activities that she has been a part of, then, yes, at such point, all anyone would really need to have done is simply identify as Black and that would be enough for most people to go along and smash that preverbial 'glass ceiling', but not this way, come on!.

Nina Simone's family was devastated by Kamila Haris's stint as California' Attorney General.

In the said situation, the family of Nina Simone (more commonly known as "the high priestess of soul music", Nina Simone remains as one of the most iconic soul artist in the African American community)
were ruthlessly dispossessed by team Kamila, as they took away the most treasured assets that was meant to be passed over to her family and instead awarded it to Sony Music.

Why? The man is a business man dedicated to his pocket and shareholders alone, and rightly so. The ones who ought to invest in these things are those you elected into government. .... but the truth is he does not owe Nigerians anything and should not be expected to do more than focus on his business an his shareholders.

Although, one shouldn't be lost to the fact that these new age "fundamental concepts", that you've correctly highlighted here are a part of the 'gulag' in obstacles created by these ill-fitting ideologies that mask themselves as 'fundamental concepts', yet you seem to have missed the irony here.

There's no serious minded person living in the world today that either believes or assumes that the current political stock operating in our continent today show any interest in investing in the general public.

Therefore, your talk of having our political leaders to does anything for the general public is completely misplaced.

Therefore, i take this opportunity to you to feed into the ideas that are being presented here, my thing is, rather than complaining about the difficulties of making our world a better place, let's just make it a reality.

There are people such as Dangote who could afford to invest in the general public, furthermore, kindly quit thinking that is ok for Capitalism to constantly be introduced into the African pysche, stop it.

How about Dangote actually starts investing in the very people that he spent his entire life serving?

Build institutes of learning whereby students can acquire accredited skills and qualifications to work in high level skilled environment.

Rather than complaining to the general public about the bureaucracy that exists out there, create a lane that the general public may benefit from and you will be rightly praised making yourself more the successful businessman that everyone already knows you are.

There's no room for political violence in any way, shape or form.

Now, more than ever before, it can be argued that the world NEEDS the first real and proper African American President of the United States of America.

Obviously, Kamala isnt that dude.

Kamila Haris is dravidian, isn't an African American, meaning that she has more in common with Rishi Sunak than she will ever have with a political juggernaut such as Dawn Butler.

Some of the best minds of our era belong to the African (Peace and Power be to the African, our Diaspora unto our parents).

Why is this important?

In a subtle way, this may be seen to an enthusiasts as a challenge to their Intellectual capacity, with the absence of any malicious intent or what appears as having any type of ulterior motive, then this can only be seen as having a strong progressive impact, aspiring others to reach their highest potential in a bid to alleviate the innocent African from the unforgiving hardship exposed to us by the global situation of 2019.

The world needs to know the truth.

Eventhough our leaders, tried their best during these times, the dusty roads and crisscrossed rivers didn't make transportation accessible to many urban areas.

African Americans, Black British, Black Canadians, Jamaicans, Brazilians, all of whom can prove that they are African through genuine means as well as all those who identify as African.


Invest in our towns and cities, at least give it a try.

Here i am just a speck in an infinite time continium, yet, here i am appealing to our siblings from all around the world; kindly hear me out.

I cant talk for every one of us, however, i can speak for myself, and in this, i ask that you join us as we descend and pour it on all our failures and perceived difficulties with the best intentions of a heavy heart.


Partner with us, as we make the neccrssary change, the change for the better that you know in our hearts of hearts that we truly need.

Join us in obliterating all our failures of the past, and patrner with us a we usher a new age of prosperity and genuine partnerships.

It's pretty simple, we ought get rid of all these foreign extremist ideologies and concentrate our focus on reality.

And the reality here is that our history comprises of agriculture, arts, architecture, astrology, astronomy, commerce, economics, engineering, fishing, law, mathematics, medical sciences, metallurgy, mining, philosophy, physical sciences, shipbuilding e.t.c

Beyond any doubt, these are our bread and butter and it isn't foreign extremist ideologically based rhetoric; the forementioned disciplines are the very things that every prosperity-conscious African ought return to studying conscientiously.

Christianity is one of the worst ideologies ever to set foot on African soil.
