   “The Anglo-Blackxons & Indo-Anglo-Saxons” 
Leslie-Ann Fullerton 

 
 

To all my fellow Anglo-Blackxons and Anglo-Indo-Saxons: 
 
We, who have been Stolen, Bribed, Beaten, Raped, and Bamboozled, 
 
We, who have been maliciously torn from our past like that of a tree from 
its roots, 
 
We, who have been educated with expensive Eurocentric values in 
Kindergarten Schools, Primary Schools, High Schools and Universities, 
 
We, who are now reproducing colonial values, norms, and beliefs; 
Beliefs alien to the message of our ancestors which run deep and 
rhythmic through our veins. 
 
We, who were forced to holla out a di top a wi lungs: “Gad Saav di 
Queen”! 
 
We, who know so little or nothing of where our forefathers and mothers 
came, 
 
We, who have lost the roots of our beginning, 
 
We, who have lost the true value of what it means to be us, 
 
We, who are the "Others"! 
 
We, the Afros, the Indos, who crossed the Atlantic and the Kala Pani! 
 
Just because we have lost the roots of those that have gone before us, 
does not mean we have to leave those that have not yet come without 
roots. 
 
Let's reclaim our identity as rulers, not as servants, not as subjects. 
 
Not for ourselves, but for those who have not yet come!
