Western (white) Civilization is founded on a Black African Civilization
you may recall being taught in the public fool system that Western (white) civilization is founded upon ancient Greek civilization, which seem to suddenly appear. What European historians are trying to hide or deny is that the Greek civilization was primarily the offspring of the advanced Black African civilization of ancient Egypt, which preceded it by thousands of years. Even Greek legends relate that Egyptian & Phoenician conquerors ruled all or parts of Greece until the 14th or 15th century.


So-called Greek Philosophy is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy the Greek plagiarism of Egyptian science, philosophy and religion is well documented by George James in Stolen Legacy. Egypt was the greatest educational center in the ancient world. Black Egyptians educated the Greeks. Black Egyptian priests taught the best minds of Europe; Plato, Thales, Aristotle, Democritus, Anaximander, Solon and others. A surviving sculpture of Socrates shows that he was an African, as was Aesop of Aesop's fables. Historians wrote that such great law givers as Lykourgos studied in Egypt and brought back the legal and political basis for the West's politics.


The Earliest Greek and Roman Gods Were all black, Including the Trojan Heroes The early Greek and Roman gods and goddesses such as Apollo, Zeus, Hercules, Athena, Venus, were all black, being renditions of the Black Egyptian gods. The historian Herodotus himself wrote that "the names of nearly all the gods came to Greece from Egypt." The Aeneid, like the Iliad, Odyssey and all the other great epics of the world, is a poetic story dealing with Black people.



Africans Gave Us Math, Algebra and Trigonometry, Including the Arabic Numbers Africans also originated the World's First Known Universities!
The falsely credited Pythagoras and Euclid learned their knowledge from Egypt's "Sacred Mystery Schools," which were the first universities known to man (with branches in other parts of the world including China). Estimated by computer analysis to have approached a mile in length, the temple-university of Luxor housed an elite faculty of priest-professors and catered to come 80,000 students at all grade levels. Temples were at the center of religion, politics and education. The Ethiopians and Egyptians originated Mathematics and Trigonometry. The African Moors originated Algebra and developed Trigonometry into a science. The word Algebra is derived from "Al-jabr wa'l Muqabala," the title of the first textbook on the subject. From the name of its Black author, "Al-Khowarizmi we get the word algorithm (a math procedure). The Arabic numbers we use today came from the ancient Arab people who were originally Black Africans.

Chemistry and the Word Itself is From Black Egypt And Where Would the World be Without Paper or the Alphabet? Africans gave us both!!
The words chemistry/alchemy are from the word Kam or Khem (derives from the name Khemit, the original name for Egypt), the name which the ancient Egyptians called themselves which means black. Africans also invented paper and paper making. Paper was made from papyrus. Before this, writing was done on stone tablets. The alphabet used by Western civilization originates from the Black Phoenicians who copied the principle from the Africans of the Nile Valley.

We all know that February (The shortest month of the year), has been aside for us to learn thousands of years of Black (African) History. But we live as Africans everyday, so we must study and learn who we are everyday. Let's keep the information flowing.

The Original Jews Were Black African People the original Jews in Africa 2,000 years ago were a black African people as an ethnic group. (Massey: Egypt Light of the World) Many of them are still black, in northern Africa such as the Falasha Jews of Ethiopia. A New York Times article (3/2/84), described them as "A lost tribe that has the kept its identity for more than 2,000 years in a remote corner of Africa.

The original Biblical Jews were Black African people who were ruthlessly persecuted by the Romans. Yashu'a (Jesus) was a Black Jew who was born during this time. The Roman-Jewish War in 66 A.D. marked the peak of this persecution and the end of the original Black Jews (Hebrew-Israelites) as a nation. As predicted by Yashu'a, in this war Jerusalem was overthrown, the Temple was destroyed and the Black Hebrew were scattered. (Mat. 24:15-21, Luke 21:5, 6, 20-24). The loss of life was appalling. So many Hebrew were slain that the whole lake of Galilee was red with blood and covered with corpses. The noted historian, Josephus estimated that one million, one hundred thousand perished in the siege of Jerusalem alone, reports Hugh Schonfield in his book The Passover Plot, which describes this massive genocide.

The Word Semite is from Semi, Which Means Half. Half What? Half BLACK!! (Mulatto!)Semite refers to the descendants of Shem, one of Noah's sons. The word originates from the Latin prefix semi, which means half. Half black/half white..........therefore Black. While Semites (such as Jews & Gypsies), have mixed so much with whites, they have forgotten or deny their African roots, but racism will never let them forget this no matter how light-skinned they become, as proved by Hitler, who mandated their destruction because they were classified by whites as "non-white" people originating in Africa. The very word Gypsy means "Out of Egypt."



The African Moors Sparked the European Renaissance!
Ruling Spain, Southern France, much of Scotland and North Africa during the Middle Ages for 700 years, the Black African Moors gave Europe one of its finest civilizations. The story of the Moors in Spain by Stanley Lane-Poole, John Jackson writes: "Eurocentric historians argue that Europe gave civilization to Africa, which is a complete inversion of the truth. The first civilized Europeans were the Greeks, who were chiefly civilized by the Africans of the Nile Valley. The Greeks transmitted this culture to the Romans, who finally lost it, bringing on a dark age of 500 years. Civilization was restored to Europe when another group of Africans, the Moors, brought this Dark Age to an end. During the Golden Age of Islam, the Moorish Empire was the most advanced state in world. Cordova was the most wonderful city of the tenth century; the streets were well paved, with raised sidewalks for pedestrians, public baths numbered in the hundreds, at a time when cleanliness in Christian Europe was regarded as a sin. Moorish monarchs dwelt in splendid palaces, while the crowned heads of England, France and Germany, lived in big barns, lacking both windows and chimneys, with only a hole in the roof for the emission of smoke."

The Moors had an insatiable lust for knowledge and acquired it from East and West, translating into Arabic all they could find, even ransacking monasteries for rare books. One king had a private library of 600,000 books! In Moorish Spain, education was available to the most humble, while in Christian Europe, 99% of the populace were illiterate, including Kings. The incredible city of Cordova had 800 public schools. The Moors made great advances in mathematics, physics, astronomy, medicine, botany and chemistry. The Moors also introduced the first shooting mechanisms or rifles known as fire sticks - which revolutionized European military science, ultimately causing their downfall when their enemies used gun powder to drive them back into Africa. Their contribution to European civilization is vast - with no credit given to them. For more details, read The Golden Age of the Moors (Ivan Van Sertima) and The History of the Moorish Empire in Europe, (Samuel Scott).



Blacks Were First in Asia and Pioneered Asia's Early Civilizations!
The Black role in Asia, as elsewhere in the world, has been submerged and distorted for centuries. The earliest occupants of Asia were "small blacks" (pygmies) who came to the region as early as 50,000 years ago. In 100 Amazing Facts about the Negro, J.A. Rogers reports that in 1923, Europeans first discovered "a hitherto unknown Negro race, the Nakhis, 200,000 in number, in Southern China." In The Children Of The Sun, George Parker writes "It appears that the entire continent of Asia was originally the home of many black races and that these races were the pioneers in establishing the wonderful civilizations that have flourished throughout this vast continent. Reports of major kingdoms ruled by Blacks are frequent in Chinese documents.

Africans Built the Ancient Pyramid in Japan and China there are man made pyramids in China and Japan. China's pyramids are located near Siang Fu City in the Shensi province. The Chinese do not know how they got there, but it is believed that Africans of the Nile Valley were the builders. (J.Perry, the Growth of Civilization). Mistaken for hills due to their eroded appearance, the ones in Japan are made of stones not indigenous to Japan. It is said they were built during the time of Mu. (Mahikari - Thank God for the Answers at Last.)

China's First Historical Dynasty and first emperor were Black!
Founded by King Tang or Ta, the earliest documented ruler ship in China was the Shang Dynasty (or Chiang) 1500 - 1000 B.C., which is credited with bringing together the elements of China's earliest known Civilization. The Shang were given the name Nakhi (Na = Black, Khi = Man). Under this Black dynasty, the Chinese established the basic forms of a graceful calligraphy that has lasted to the present day. The first Chinese Emperor, the legendary Fu-Hsi (2953 - 2838 B.C.) Was a wooly haired black man? He is credited with establishing government, originating social institutions and cultural inventions. He is said to have originated the I Ching, or the book of Change, which is the oldest, most revered system of prophecy. It is known to have influenced the most distinguished philosophers of Chinese thought.

Martial Arts Originated in AFRICA, not Asia!!
Kilindi Iyi's essay in African Presence in Early Asia, (by Van Sertima/Rashidi) reveals the African roots of the martial arts: Africans discovered very early that the movements of animals could be used effectively to develop their fighting skills. Also, those animal principles' could be isolated within the consciousness and manifested into an unconquerable fighting force. The oldest records of kicking, throwing and punching techniques were found in Egypt. These warrior scientists laid the foundation for all martial arts systems, including Kung Fu and Judo.

(Black People Wake Up!)

“A number of external factors affect the African situation, and if our liberation struggle is to be placed in correct perspective and we are to KNOW THE ENEMY, the impact of these factors must be fully grasped.”

Kwame Nkrumah 1909-1972


The "Bling, Bling " Has got to go.

USA Today article on Black spending habits, alarming but not surprising!

These are tough economic times, especially for African in America, for whom the unemployment rate is more than 10%. Rather than belt-tightening, the response has been to spend more. In many poor neighborhoods, one is likely to notice satellite dishes and expensive
new cars.

Middle-class Thugs.

It’s no secret that white corporations dictate our culture to us through the media, or that life imitates art in our communities just look at BET`s influence. What is amazing, however, is that so many people who should know better fall for the lie of white supremacy and it’s twisted expectations of us.


(Black People Wake Up!)
After all of these years and all we have been through together, we think it’s appropriate for us to show our gratitude for all you have done for us. We have chastised you, criticized you, punished you, and in some cases even apologized to you, but we have never formally nor publicly thanked you for your never-ending allegiance and support to our cause. This is our open letter of thanks to a unique people, a forgiving people, a steadfast people, and a brave people: Black Americans. We will always be in debt to you for your labor. You built this country and were responsible for the great wealth we still enjoy today. Upon your backs, laden with the stripes we sometimes had to apply for disciplinary reasons, you carried our nation. We thank you for that. We thank you for your diligence and tenacity. Even when we refused to allow you to even walk in our shadows, you followed close behind, believing that someday we would come to accept you and treat you like men and women.

Your strength in the face of adversity cannot be understated. You are truly a great people, and we thank you so much. We publicly acknowledge Black people for raising our children, attending to our sick, and preparing our meals while we were occupied with the trappings of the good life. Even during the times when we found pleasure in your women and enjoyment in seeing one of your men lynched, maimed and burned, some of you continued to watch over us and our belongings. We simply cannot thank you enough. Your bravery on the battlefield, despite being classified as three-fifths of a man, was and still is outstanding and beyond the call of duty. We often watched in awe as you went about your prescribed chores and assignments, sometimes laboring in the hot sun for 12 hours, to assist us in realizing our dreams of wealth
and good fortune. You were always there, and we thank you.

Now that we control at least 90 percent of all of the resources and wealth of this nation, we have Black people to thank the most. You were there when it all began, and you are still with us today, protecting us from those Black people who have the temerity to speak out against our past transgressions. How can we thank you for your dedication? You warned us about Denmark Vessey. You let us know about Gabriel Prosser’s plans; you called our attention to Nat Turner. And you even sounded the alarm when old John Brown came calling on Harper’s Ferry. Some of you still warn us today. Thank you, Now, as we look out upon our enormous wealth, and as we assess our tremendous control of the resources of this country, we can only think of the sacrifices you and your families made to make all of this possible. You are indeed fantastic, and we will forever be in your debt. To think of how you have looked out for us for hundreds of years and to see you still doing the same thing today is simply amazing.


Thank you for continuing to bring 95 percent of what you earn to our businesses. That is so gracious of you. Thanks for buying our Tommy Hilfigers, Nikes, and all of the other brands you so adore. Your purchase of these products really makes us feel that we are at least giving something back to you for your patronage. After all, in the past, the brands we put on you were quite painful, but those of today can be proudly worn because they give you as sense of self-esteem, right? But it’s the least we can do for a people who have treated us so well. Your super-rich athletes, entertainers, intellectuals, and business persons (both legal and illegal) exchange most of their money for our cars, jewelry, homes, and clothing. What a windfall they have provided for us! The less fortunate among you spend all they have at our neighborhood stores, enabling us to open even more stores. Sure, they complain about us, but they never do anything to hurt us economically. You are a very special people. Oh yes, allow us to thank you for not bogging yourselves down with the business of doing business with your own people. We can take care of that for you. Please don’t even trouble yourselves with it. Yes, you were very successful at it after slavery ended and even as recently as 1960, but you know what happened when you began to build your own communities and do business with one another. Some of the "lower ones" of our kind burned you out time and time again. So, why bother? In today’s business environment, your own people will not support you anyway. You just keep doing business with us. It’s safer that way.


Besides, everything you need, we make anyway, even Kente cloth. You just continue to dance, sing, fight, get high, go to prison, back bite, envy and distrust and hate one another. Have yourselves a good time, and this time we’ll take care of you. It’s the least we can do, considering all you’ve done for us. Heck, you deserve it, Black people. For your labor, which created our wealth, for you resisting the messages of trouble-making Blacks like Washington, Delaney, Garvey, Bethune, Tubman and Truth, for fighting and dying on our battlefields, we thank you. For allowing us to move into your neighborhoods, we will forever be grateful to you. For your unceasing desire to be near us and for hardly ever following through on you threats due to our lack of reciprocity and equity-we thank you so much. We also appreciate your acquiescence to our political agendas, for abdicating your own economic self-sufficiency, and for working so diligently for the economic well being of our people. You are real troopers. And, even though the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were written for you and many of your relatives died for the rights described therein, you did not resist when we changed those Black rights to civil rights and allowed virtually every other group to take advantage of them as well.

Black people, you are something else!
Your dependence upon us to do the right thing is beyond our imagination, irrespective of what we do to you and the many promises we have made and broken. But, this time we will make it right, we promise. Trust us. Tell you what. You don’t need your own hotels. You can continue to stay in ours. You have no need for supermarkets when you can shop at ours 24 hours a day. Why should you even think about owning more banks? You have plenty now. And, don’t waste your energies trying to break into manufacturing. You’ve worked hard enough in our fields. Relax, have a party. We’ll sell you everything you need. And when you die, we’ll even bury you at a discount. Now how’s that for gratitude? Finally, the best part. You went beyond the pale and turned your children over to us for their education. With what we have taught them, it’s likely they will continue in a mode similar to the one you have followed for the past 45 years.


When Mr. Lynch walked the banks of the James River in 1712 and said he would make you a slave for 300 years, little did we realize the truth in his prediction? Just 13 more years and his promise will come to fruition. But with two generations of your children gone through our education systems, we can look forward to at least another 50 years of prosperity. Wow!

Things could not be better and it’s all because of you. For all you have done, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Black Americans. You’re the best friends any group of people could ever have!
Sincerely, All other Americans.

I love tattoos on women, but are they safe to have?

I find tattoos to be sexy on a lady only in certain areas and they must not be too big. Back bikini line, ankle, breast and butts are my favorites on a lady. Tattoos on women’s arms are not attractive to me at all. Piercing, and belly button rings on women drive me crazy!

I love tattoos on women, but are they safe to have?

Marked 4 Life, Tattoos (better to forget about them).
(I am just passing on information, so please don’t get mad at me. Sawaad Amen Ra)

You think that tattoo of June bug; your baby’s daddy on your neck is cute, don’t you? What about that rose with your mother and daughters name in it. That’s off the chain, right? What about that tattoo with your old lady Chaquetta in that wine glass all across your back, that’s fly. No wait! What about that tongue, navel and nipple rings that you just got last week. Putting your dead homie`s name or picture on your body as a memorial or tribute may sound good now but what about 20 years from now? What about when you go out on a job interview and you have tattoos on your neck, leg and hands and your potential employer is looking at you like you are 10 karat crazy. An employer would not look favorably on you even if you have an impeccable resume and references. Unlike body piercing that you can take out, you cannot do that with tattoos. Body piercing, like tattooing (not temporary ones) has become increasingly popular among Blacks and Latinos over the past five years. Some say it’s due in part by the increasing presence of body art on entertainers. No matter how much some of them hate the role model title, they are being looked up to by many of today’s youth.


The NBA`s Allen Iverson says on his Web site, I have things on my body that are just tattoos to others but mean a lot to me. These aren’t just tattoos to me. No matter how much meaning a tattoo or piercing has to an entertainer, they must realize that they are influencing millions of young people. Piercing eyebrows, genitals, navels, lips, noses--and multiple earrings--have become common. But body piercing can give you serious diseases, some of which may not show up for years. Some doctors warn that unsterilized needles may lead to liver cancer, HIV, hepatitis B, and the more serious hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a potentially lethal virus that is now four times as widespread as HIV, and few of the nations 3 or 4 million carriers have any idea they’re infected.


HCV or hepatitis C virus was not even discovered until 1988, and there was no treatment available at that time. Hepatitis C is a virus that causes long-term liver disease, even cancer. It can remain hidden in your body for ten years or more. Many people who have gotten the virus from body piercing and tattooing may not realize they are sitting on an infectious time bomb until the disease strikes. Body-piercing jewelry made from nickel can cause bad infections that can last up to a year. Dr. Janice Carter, of Chicago’s Board of Health Englewood branch, has said that infection is the main problem. Anytime you puncture the skin; you’re at risk for a staph or strap infection. Plus, a lot of people are allergic to the nickel in the metal that’s used, so they’ll get contact dermatitis in the area and develop a secondary infection, she said. The owner of a chain of body-piercing shops says that thin, low quality metals can rip through your skin. Thin wire, like on earrings, and can pull through the skin like a cheese slicer, he said.


If you get your belly button pierced, you could have problems sleeping, and clothes sometimes don’t allow enough air to circulate. Moisture collects around the pierced area and makes sores slower to heal. Nipple piercing can cause infection, and if you are a female, it can cause extra difficulties because the piercing may burrow through your milk producing ducts. This can create problems if you have a baby and want to breast-feed. A large majority of the worlds entertainers and athletes have body art including, Janet Jackson, Eve, LL Cool J, Lenny Kravitz, Kobe Bryant, and Ja Rule, to name a few. Some of the tattoos may be temporary ones, but the dangerous ones are the permanent tattoos. Why would someone want to be a walking billboard? I know they say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but come on. They are not getting your picture or name on them. These stars may go to the best parlors but someone in the hood may not be able to afford that luxury. A young man or woman in the inner cities will get something done and gets a serious, serious infection that could be potentially life threatening. Take the case we had here in Chicago last summer of a young man who got numerous tattoos and body Piercing in order to look like his hero Dennis Rodman. Or better yet, think about when you have a child and they want to get it because they see you with it. What are you going to say? These things have long range implications. Besides when you get 75 and are in a nursing home and someone has to change your Depends undergarment, and you are embarrassed because your tattoos are sagging and wrinkling and you can hardly make out what they say. Now that doesn’t sound too sexy, does it? So I would think 2 or 3 times before getting body art, because I would not want to be marked for life.

My people, Nubians in America it is time we stop burying the truth? It is time we discuss drug & spousal abuse, homosexuality, and bisexuality in our community. It is time we educate our youth; it’s of the utmost importance they know the truth. Why must they wait, and continue to wait, until it’s too late? Enough of this nativity about AIDS and HIV. It is #1 in our community, potentially infecting you or me. The truth is HIV is preventable. Latex condoms come a dime a dozen. You must use them consistently; PROTECTED sex can and should be hot. Ultimately you are responsible for you. Correct condom use also prevents unwanted pregnancies, and transmission of STD`s, some more commonly known as gonorrhea, HPV and this latest outbreak in Chicago of syphilis is scary to me. Know your status, get tested, prevent it, and DON`T neglects your brothers and sisters with this. Through their journey love them and get educated know the truth, control your fate, SAVE OUR YOUTH! I’m promoting condom use. I’m outraged with child abuse. I want you to educate our YOUTH.


Be Aware that there are a lot of members of the African American community Dying of AIDS or living with HIV. Respect yourself, protect yourself. Know where you stand, take the Test. Spread love, Not death.



I am trying to break the shackles of our mind. Bisexuality among Black women is very real just takeg a real good look around you. I am not against bisexuality; love is love no matters were it comes from. The greatest love is love of self. More black women than you think harbor bisexual feelings, dreams and fantasies. Many keep them at that level. Others express them through close emotional but non-sexual friendships. Still other women rejoice in their bisexuality, whether out publicly or privately, in social or political settings, in their relationships or just through sex. Some women discover their bisexuality at an early age while others find it emerges over time as one becomes aware of and open to life’s possibilities. Some women, as do some men, try to ignore or suppress their feelings and deny who they really are. They may choose to call themselves straight or lesbian to fit the expectations of others or their own need to belong. One should strive to be true to one’s self first through accepting one’s feelings and accepting others. This can lead to more open, honest, caring and fulfilling relationships and an inner peace and happiness.


I was given an introduction to the rainbow lifestyle on black planet, and in the World, provided by Lady4lady; keep an "open mind" as you are introduced to Lady4lady. I was informed that she was BI-sexual. Yes, she likes men and women. It was not a choice. She was born with it.
I was informed that there are a few titles held by the gay community.


BUTCH - is a woman who basically wants to be the boss in her relationship. She carries herself as a man and generally appears to be of a hard exterior. Most of whom are non-sensitive and demanding, most have been gay since their sensuality kicked in, never desiring a man’s touch. Same also for the title Stud which is used for a black woman (BUTCH). A butch or stud has not necessarily always been gay! Confused? Well it can be at times. Usually, from a continuous bad relationship from guys, or abusive experiences in life or just a later discovery in one’s self-the change can happen. What ever the reason may be, it’s a woman they are wanting.


LESBIAN- a female with a life long attraction for another woman, desires to touch and be touched by women, to explore all each other has to give. Most of the times sensitive to one another, knowing what a woman wants, desires, needs. Les, are more in reach with each other’s feeling and wishes. Just wanting to be sexual with a woman, (not a butch) pretty girls, feminine girls, lipstick lovers. Both are interested in pleasing each other sexually. What one does for the other is satisfaction for both. Les, are true to the game, they share the same interest in sexual behaviors and enjoy hot sex, toys multiple orgasms.

DOMINATE, "I am the Boss", is just an additional characteristic of being Lesbian; a dominant will initiate sexual activities. Usually a Dom will enjoy being touched and it takes over like a thief in the night. A Dom loves to be touched and to touch, flesh and linger between the softness that is only female. A Dom is assertive yes, but angry, vicious, or abusive no.

BI-SEXUAL– a woman who desires the best of both worlds, either a man or woman’s sex is good. Can do it all and very comfortable with both, maybe at the same time even; two heads are better than one! Bi is desirable in lovemaking; it can be fulfilling for either sex. Most times Bi is in a full relationship with men and women and is in extra curricular activities. It’s like adding a cherry on top! Being comfortable with his arrangement, it can become a common thing to do. A lot of married couples desire this third party. It keeps it hot, exciting and new. These couples are swingers,very common in older couples who need a little spice in their lives. She also stated that there is something about women loving women; she believes in God. She feels he doesn’t like it and it’s wrong, so she is not living a Godly Life at this moment in time. She is married legally to a woman and very much in love with her wife. Women both know what the other needs and most usually compensate towards one another. Now no relationship is perfect; but hers is nice.

I am sorry but I love feminine looking women.

Utah’s history with blacks.



“A monkey will never leave behind its black hand(someone with bad habbit cannot hide them.no matter where they go)” African Proverb

What in the blue hell is going on?


"The Chitlins (Shit) done hit the fan."


Are white Utah couples `buying` black children? Local news stations in Utah are reporting that a family paid $30,000 in fees to the adoption agency, to adopt a black girl from Chicago.


Given the great divide between blacks and whites, a black mother who takes her child to Utah to be adopted by a white couple must be in a terrible state of mind. Impoverished black people definitely don’t trust well-to-do white people. In fact, most poor black people believe they wouldn’t be in such sorry shape if it weren’t for racist white people. So it is hard to grasp why black women are flying to Utah to give white people their children. Left behind are stunned fathers and grandmothers who are struggling to understand how a black person could do such a thing.


The black community is not a third-world country where people are living so close to the edge that they cannot be expected to take care of themselves or their children. I don’t see poor white women dragging their children to black families to raise. Why should it be normal for poor black women to hand their children to white families?

I am also troubled that some white couples may be adopting black babies because they have given up waiting for a white one. Certainly that seems to be the case in Canada where hundreds of African-American children have been adopted by Canadian couples. Critics of the Canadian adoption system claim the system is racist because the babies are priced according to their skin, and a black baby goes for about a third the cost of a white baby. Private adoption agencies in Utah give black mothers about $1,300 in cash for their so-called expenses and pay for their plane ticket and hotel accommodations.


What I wanted to say: This is not how black families operate. Because there are a large number of female-headed households in the black community, a grandmother is the rock. Most of these women are raising their second set of children, and they are closer to getting it right. Most often, these grandmothers find themselves being the backbone of a fragile skeleton. In Illinois, about 103,717 grandparents are responsible for raising their grandchildren, and 41 percent of these grandparents are black. Yes, most of these grandparents are also women, and because they have achieved a level of wisdom you can only grow into, many of the boys who could have ended up in gangs grew into successful men, and many wild, single mothers went on to complete their education and to build meaningful careers.

The black community needs a sounding board as well. Because if our leaders allow black babies to so easily be put on this auction block, what could be next?

Utah’s history with blacks.

Like all other races, black people are responsible for raising the children they bring into the world, and it is sickening that these black mothers think white mothers can do a better job raising black children.
After all, Utah has never been seen as a state that welcomes blacks. Many of us remember that like most denominations, the Mormons taught that blacks were inferior to whites. But unlike many other denominations, the Mormons were slow to change. In fact, the religious denomination didn’t lift its ban against African Americans in the priesthood until 1978. Given the history of the state’s most dominant residents, I can’t understand how any black woman would be comfortable leaving her child in Utah. The only explanation is these women just don’t know any better.

The black male in America pictured as "an endangered species" and repeatedly painted in the media as criminal dealing drugs, raping women, and killing each other has added suicide to a behavior pattern that was previously both perplexing and disturbing. The reasons for the rise in suicide among young black males, according to parents, psychologists, sociologists and others vary. Of those interviewed some point to deteriorating components in the American society where the clash between ideologies is leaving these members of a formerly enslaved population unable to cope. Others describe a "feeling of hopelessness, of being trapped." And some simply baffled. The Center for Disease Control reports that black males ages 15-24 are killing themselves at a faster rate than any other age group. The report disclosed that compared to 8 percent for white males in the same age group from 1980 to 2003 suicides for black males climbed to 63 percent. More black men in the United States are behind bars than are in higher education, according to a new study by a Washington DC think tank.

Following a booming prison construction and an increasing the numbers of people being incarcerated for non-violent crimes, there were 791,600 black men in American prisons and county jails in 2003, and only 603,032 enrolled in colleges and universities, according to the Justice Policy Institute, which favors alternatives to imprisonment.

"If your white great-great grandfather killed my great-great grandfather, And your white great grandfather sold my great-grandfather, And your grandfather raped my grandmother, And your father stole, cheated, lied and robbed my father, What kind of fool would I have to be to say "Come my friend" to the White daughter and son. Souljah was not born to make white people feel comfortable I am African first, I am Black first I want what’s good for me and my people first And if my survival means your total destruction, then so be it You built this wicked system They say two wrongs don’t make a right But it damn sure makes things even."
Sister Souljah

The Other Side Of Whites In America

I would like to show the other side of whites in America - a side never talked about. This is a cruel story well worth reading. But first, some background info: It is surprisingly common to see whites in America adopting black crack babies. This particular story is very cruel. Blacks have lots of crack babies- and great many babies are just thrown away. In this particular case a black mother bashed her newborn baby on the side of the head and then threw her in a toilet to die. A white Policewoman found and adopted the baby. What is interesting is how many black children are abandoned and left to die in America.

It is white people who often take pity on these throwaway children and try to take care of them. I have noticed on numerous occasions in the mall or in a super-market, a white woman either with her own white children and a black child among them, or a young white couple who have adopted a black baby. I have never in my life seen a black couple adopting a white baby - but I have seen many whites - often well-off/upper-class whites who have adopted black babies as their own and who raise them.

What do you think about transracial adoption? Can "whites" provide loving and caring homes for "black" babies or other babies "of color?" Can "whites" provide the "cultural influences" necessary to develop self-esteem and pride within "black" kids? How many of the "black" kids languishing in foster care are actually of mixed-race -- not "black" at all? While delivering drugs to a fetus is not a crime in Illinois, it does fall under the definition of neglect, giving the state a reason to open a child welfare case, said John Goad, associate deputy director of child protection for Cook County for the Illinois. Black babies in Illinois are more likely than white babies to be taken from their mothers and placed in foster care because of drug exposure, the Reporter found. Thank you White America, for adopting black crack babies.

Black Boys

"Peter Pan syndrome"

Men who choose to avoid responsibility--in denial about their adulthood. He had all the pain of adulthood--and adult pleasure? He hovered outside the window, looking in. The longing he feels for both lost adulthood and lost childhood is palpable. These black men have been forced to think of themselves as a baby, What does a black man call his close acquaintances? Boys. What does a black man call his place of residence? His crib."


A child’s chance to escape anger and injustice begins with one man… Their Father.

THE ROLE OF BLACK FATHERS IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT TRADITIONS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT IN THEIR EARLIEST YEARS IN THE NEW WORLD ENSLAVED AFRICIAN-AMERICANS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN. MOREOVER, THEIR LOYALTY TO THEIR CHILDREN AND MATES DEFINED THE EFFORTS OF THEIR WHITE SLAVE HOLDERS TO BREAK THE FAMILY BONDS OF THEIR SLAVES. THE NEGATIVE SCARS THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN CARRY CONCERNING THEIR ROLE, AS FATHERS MUST BE PUT TO REST. THE STEREOTYPE THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN FATHERS DO NOT DEAL WITH THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF FATHERHOOD IS SIMPLY AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE. NOT ONLY DO MANY FATHERS RAISE THEIR CHILDREN IN A HEALTHY NURTURING ENVIRONMENT, BUT THEY ALSO RAISE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH THEM BY OTHERS.

THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS NOT RUN BY MEN BUT BY LITTLE THUGGISH MAMA`S BOYS. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS A MEN`S MOVEMENT TO RESCUE BLACK BOYS BEFORE THESE THUGS FURTHER DISGRACE AND REINVENT MANHOOD THEMSELVES.
