Grown men wearing Berger King costumes – where in hell did this crap come from?? I am willing to bet your White God-in-flesh taught you Negroes to make asses of your self - Cardboard Crowns LOL ma-seai, mi papi-show.
Kings with kite-paper crowns?
I confess my ignorance to the origin of this practice, called "La Worse".
Can someone educate me as to the source of this display of infancy? with the fake crowns and trimmings?
I don't know who wrote this history:
The societies originated in the time of slavery as co-operative work groups created for mutual support, and assistance in time of trouble. These groups were similar to the dokpwé of Dahomey, and the coumbite of Haiti. They also had a great deal in common with the famed egbes of the Yoruba peoples, which were and still are presided over by the tribe's various chieftains through the framework of what is essentially a highly elaborate series of theatre states.
Furthermore, the two societies were vaguely inspired by two mystic orders that were active at the time in Europe, Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. This connection is depicted in a mural painted by Dunstan St. Omer, which shows the holy trinity of Osiris, Horus and Isis.[citation needed]
Both societies have a formal hierarchic structure patterned upon the socio-economic structure of colonial society. Each society has a king and a queen, as well as princes, princesses, and many other symbolic legal, military and professional roles, such as judges, policemen, nurses, soldiers.
So is this playing King and Queen of Slaves?
I JUST KNEW IT
On the main day of the festival a ‘grande fete’ is celebrated, in honour of the patron saint of the society St Rose of Lima.
Saint Rose was born Isabel Flores y de Oliva in the city of Lima, the Viceroyalty of Peru, then part of New Spain on April 20 1586. She was one of the many children of Gaspar Flores, a harquebusier in the Imperial Spanish army, born in San Germán on the island of San Juan Bautista (now Puerto Rico), and his wife, María de Oliva, a native of Lima. Her later nickname "Rose" comes from an incident in her babyhood: a servant claimed to have seen her face transform into a rose. In 1597 she was confirmed by the Archbishop of Lima, Turibius de Mongrovejo, who was also to be declared a saint. She formally took the name of Rose at that time.[1]
As a young girl—in emulation of the noted Dominican tertiary, St. Catherine of Siena—she began to fast three times a week and performed severe penances in secret. When she was admired for her beauty, Rose cut off her hair and smeared pepper on her face, upset that suitors were beginning to take notice of her.[2] She rejected all suitors against the objections of her friends and her family. Despite the censure of her parents, she spent many hours contemplating the Blessed Sacrament, which she received daily, an extremely rare practice in that period. She was determined to take a vow of virginity, which was opposed by her parents, who wished her to marry.[1] Finally, out of frustration, her father gave her a room to herself in the family home.
VIVE LA ROSE.
SON OF MAN I KNOW I CAN COUNT ON U 4 MY HISTORY.
LA ROSE MY BIG ASS,
I don't understand why the forced stretch to connect so-called emancipation with La Rose. These people are real ignorant jokers. People should hate emancipation and not celebrate it. There is nothing to celebrate.
Freedom is a natural right. Nobody has a right either to take it away, or to think that they gave it back to you. Only stupid people celebrate their captivity.
No other group of people other than blacks celebrate their end of captivity. Other cultures mark it with solemnity.
They do not celebrate the crap that happened to them. It is rather unfortunate that black people are so dumb. Look at the approach taken by the Chinese and the Japanese.
So to recognize and celebrate so-called emancipation is to underscore an underclass status, and honouring white slavers for what was always yours, but without gaining the respect due, because of failure to wrest it from their grasp with a successful rebellion.
La Rose on the other hand is just plain fun. It even preserves a link to classical rhythms with its admixture with African instruments.
where are the so-called emancipating?
when we are under capitalism and colonialism.
WE AS A NATION LOVE ALL THE F*****UK UP AND THE EVERY DAY BULL***SHIT THAT ARE force feed 2 us by our captors. like it or not we are into slavery up 2 this f****uk "king" times.

Son-of-awhore.....What is your problem?
The real problem with business development in Saint Lucia is simply this: the SLP has abdicated its responsibility to protect the consumer by doing absolutely nothing to the development of a monopoly of a key sector like food distribution.
Two approaches may have been taken in relation to this: Either (a) pass legislation strengthening consumer protection to ensure competition in the marketplace by blocking such consolidations, or (b) participate in bringing in a partner to help the company that was being swallowed up by the monopoly. The second option could have been done so as not to increase the debt obligations of the government.
A lack of sensitivity and awareness regarding business concerns for fair competition to prevent price gouging and the fleecing of the resident population resulted in total government inaction.
The acquired company would have had to engage in a combination of a costly marketing campaign, lowered prices (margins), and easy credit to have ever survived the assault. It went under. And so did any prospect of fair competition in the food distribution sector in Saint Lucia.
Now the country is facing an even more disturbing and sinister development: a combination of a monopoly in the food distribution sector backed by a beverage company through family ties, with the looming prospect of near absolute political power being combined with this in the persons of a son and daughter of that business amalgamation, the son becoming further empowered with the constitutionally guaranteed, dictatorship of the prime minister.
