The Glorification of Mann

When I see folks like Yousef NDour lionizing Sheikh Ahmadu Bamba or Rasta Jomo Akono making much ado about Ras Makonen, Prince of Ethiopia, I often wonder about these people. The men they are idolizing are certainly not worth it, or have not, as yet, demonstrated anything that would cause ME to give them any praise. I sat with Selasie last night and finally had a heart to heart. If I was alive during his time, he surmised, I would have planned a "coup" and taken over his kingdom. We laughed. Though it was nearly true, his sentiment.
