Got Speak My Mind – From Sancho to Sancho with Love

Got Speak My Mind – From Sancho to Sancho with Love

I simply love linking Sancho with Sancho. I love to link one Sancho family group to another. I love linking members of the kinships of Sancho with each other. I love talking about members of the Sancho family of the past. I love learning of my representation of the past.  I love to link my relatives with each other. However that does not necessary mean I love congregate or hang out with people. I am about sincerity. I am about truth, honesty, humanity, spirituality, and reality and all for the greater good of mankind. I aspire to promote substance over above and beyond rhetoric, beyond gossip beyond rumors above city to city tours, above hypocrisy. I assume everyone has their agenda. I am not into the  biennial gatherings of Sancho people in major cities in North America.

Dear Sancho, this Sancho put it to Sancho

1.       None of the gatherings of Sancho has occasioned a Sancho kinship agenda.

2.       Sancho is a diverse group of people. The kinship of Sancho is a group of people identified primarily by the possession of common DNA signatures.  However, there are always exceptions to the general rule. The kinship of Sancho is not defined by ethnicity. The kinship of Sancho is not limited to geo-political boundaries. The kinship of Sancho is not defined by nationality. The kinship of Sancho is not defined by man-made boundaries. The kinship of Sancho is not defined by either political or religious boundaries, ideologies or practices. The kinship of Sancho is comprised of members of the human family. The kinship of Sancho is a microcosm of the shared human experience. Whatever humans have done it is quite possible members of the Sancho have done or may likely to accomplish in the future. Whatever issues have besieged and/or faced or impeded humans members of the Sancho family have and/or will have that experience. Although I am aware of Chinese named Sancho and Sanchong, Japanese named Sanko, Europeans named Sanko, people of the Portuguese and Spanish speaking world named Sancho and Sanchez; I am strongly doubt they are of recent African vintage. In short I do not think Chinese, Europeans and Japanese Sanko people relate to the Soninke-Mandinka experience in Western Sudan south of the Sahara. However, I firmly believe Sancho of the French West Indies experience are related to Sancho of the English speaking Caribbean basin. I also firmly believe Sancho Sanko and Sankoh of the states in the southern regions of the United States of America are related to Sancho or Sanko people of the Caribbean basin and West Africa.

3.       The kinship of Sancho exhibits the fragmentation of the societies in which that particular Sancho family group is identified.

4.       There is an absolute need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to provide social services - to house, clothe and feed our people - the people of Sancho. 

5.       There is a need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to serve as a vehicle to organize and facilitate family reunions in Guyana, Europe and North America and elsewhere Sancho people are found in huge numbers.

6.       There is a need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to enable extensive research and documentation of the heritage of the Sancho, Sanko, Sankoh, and Sonko family from the earliest known period to the current epoch as accurately as humanly possible.

7.       There is a need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to provide funding of scholarships for our people to study in Research institutions of Higher Learning; free of financial burdens and related issues, free of debt.

8.       There is a need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to shoulder the financial burdens respecting expenses incurred relative to the transitions of our people beyond the immediate relatives of the dearly departed.

9.       There is a need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to expedite the process of creating employment for our people.

10.   There is a need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to purchase immovable real estate. And to keep those properties within the Sancho family for eternity.  Purchasing buildings and land to provide housing, food and employment for our people.

11.    There is a need to establish a nonprofit Sancho family organization to provide legal services for our people.  

12.   I know Sancho people must build a Sancho mansion. A building furnished with all the modern amenities. There is a need for a vacation Sancho home in Golden Grove and Nabaclis Village District. Whereby overseas birthed and/or based Sancho family members can be accommodated. Thereby such Sancho will experience rural life while vacationing there.

13.   Perhaps members of the kinship of Sancho ought to experience the pyramids of Egypt, and Nubia. Members of the kinship of Sancho ought to experience ailing upon the Nile River. Members of the kinship of Sancho ought to experience the ancient empires of Ghana, Mali and Songhay. Also Sancho people need to visit several locations in Sierra Leone and Gambia in West Africa. Perhaps Sancho need to own real estate in Gambia and Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Personal Opinions - I would love for the Sancho family to be always represented in the legislative branch of government in Guyana. I know there must something referred to as the Sancho vote.  Sancho people don’t reside in a defined community. Most of the people of Sancho perhaps voted for the same party PNC and the PPP in April 1953. However, Sancho people don’t vote en block. Therefore Sancho people have no political, economic and social clout. There is no identifiable Sancho Member of Parliament in the present legislative body in Guyana. Sancho if you don’t own means of production you have no job. You are not the employer. You are the employee. You are subjected to be fired, marginalized and suffer other issues identified as discrimination.  There is marginal and/or no differences between an employee and a slave.  I know the electors amongst the Sancho family must become political astute in Guyana. Sancho must stop throwing away their votes every five years and/or whenever the technocrats decide they will hold a national election.  Therefore votes must be utilized as bargaining chips. The Sancho must support to aspirants for the highest offices who support and promote the agendas of the Sancho family and the communities in which they reside in Guyana.  I know Sancho people must use their votes as skillfully as the Ashkenazi Jews do in the political arenas of the western societies.  Sancho must never be taken for granted. Sancho must have no allegiance to any political entity.  Sancho must be about Sancho business. Sancho must be about the improvement of all phases of life in their ancestral adopted homes Victoria, Golden Grove, Nabaclis, Buxton, and Friendship and elsewhere.
