M.I - God Forbid

Choc City artiste and J-town representer, MI Abaga joins the debate as he posted on his blog the following titled 'God Forbid!' This is what he wrote.

"Does it make you angry? Does it rile you to see your country portrayed as poor and suffering and full of struggle?
It burns you, does it not? To have some foreigner who knows nothing of your history and pain, of the stories that flow within your blood to have this foreigner come in and tell your story?
Is it not the height of disrespect and insensitivity? Does it not chafe against the thick skin you have grown to cover your otherwounds?
Does it not make you angry?
We should wax sanctimonious about national pride being slighted.
We should vent our displeasure online.
We should occupy something.
Because God forbid the truth ever be told about what things really are.
God forbid a stranger remind us about those things we choose to ignore everyday.
God forbid we ever face the truth about ourselves.
God forbid we do not go on the internet and rail about how our country is being cast in bad light. God forbid we do not talk about how there is a small minority which lives better than portrayed.
God forbid we do not ignore truth one more time.
God forbid we don't."


DO YOU AGREE WITH M.I???
