It's dope that David West did this. It's even more dope, that Africans in the community stepped up to pay his bills and visit him.

Community building all around. That's Black Excellence

Exactly, this is how we cultivate our BLACKEXCELLENCE to be solid foundation

...to Dave West

And, Dr. Ben, thanks for leaving a body of work for us Real Africans to take heed to

I just happen to think funerals are a waste of money and burials should be outlawed. Once u die, u should cease taking up space on this planet. Everyone should cremated.

not to take the thread off topic but i agree

when i die, give all possible money to my kids, relatives. get rid of me in the cheapest way possible, throw me in an urn or whatever

as far as the thread, great story

Thats all I was saying. Just wished more people would think about how foolish elaborate funerals are. Show your respect while people are alive.

I just want to be cremated and throw me somewhere. A lot of people in my fam feel that way too.

Speak for yourself breh, there are people that make and do things that aren't catered to the idiots of our society.

Exactly. Asking for the just treatment of a group of people should not be viewed as a commodity.

Thank god I'm from a Yoruba and African culture where when an old person passes, we celebrate the blessing of a long life god has given them.

That's what was done here....
