The Woman

The space inside this circle represents my realm of knowledge… All that I think that I know about whatever I think that I know is depicted right here in this circle! I must keep in mind that there is more to know than what is within the circumference of my awareness! (Don’t get mad get smart truth over Lies)



The woman, is she what we have been taught in religion (Judaism, Christianity & Islam)? Is she what was explained to us by our fathers, who have also been taught by the above religions? If she is, has she always been the creature described to us in our holy books (Talmud, Torah, Bible, Qur`an)? In all my research what I have come to realize is that men have never been successful at defining her being, because in most cases their definitions have been cut short by chauvinism and sexist views. No man in the Bible, Torah or Qur`an has ever accepted the woman for what she truly is and was, and if we continue to follow in their footsteps we never will! They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, nieces and cousins. Yet till this day they are not widely respected and are not looked upon as great, or not as great as men are. We have been taught that man was first, man is the rightful ruler, men are better, the woman was the first to sin, and so forth. But what hasn’t been told is the true history or works of the woman! No one could better tell this than a woman herself, and I am not a woman, I will do my best. (Smile)



Goddess to some, mother to others and sisters to brothers, but she alone has carried the weight of the earth. For she alone has the capability to mother, to bring forth existence from the womb (darkness). This is not a task that no man is built for, nor would he be able to survive. "A little research will do you good", is what I was told by a wise man, and in all my researching I have found that all has originated from the woman. From man to god! From Sumer to the ancient America’s! All has come from women! It wasn’t until patriarchal religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) that the woman became a "seductress hoe", a sinner and less than man, but this was not always the case! In more ancient times women were considered to be equal to men, and in many places they ruled over all and did a better job at it!
It is now a scientific FACT that man is a hybrid form of the woman, and thus proving the "man first" theory wrong! The Mitochondria DNA is a trait that only the woman carries, and is now the proof that man was not first. Through this DNA they have traced the first human back to an "African Woman", and also the oldest bones found belonged to an African Woman. It is also a fact that for a man to be born, he must first come through a woman. Even though she brings us into this world, she is still thought of as weak and dependant. This is easy to do if you’re uneducated and have no knowledge of the history women!


Many of the GODS of these new religions started off as women or had women as partners, and it was this way until the patrilineal religions came to be. Many of the GODS of these new religions started off as women or had women as partners, and it was this way until the patrilineal religions came to be. Many of the symbols and beings we so love started out as women, and many of the stories we have been told were in fact stories of women. So lets go ahead a prove these claims, as I try to give the woman their just due and hopefully others will quickly follow suite.

How to Raise A Pimp.

The space inside this circle represents my realm of knowledge… All that I think that I know about whatever I think that I know is depicted right here in this circle! I must keep in mind that there is more to know than what is within the circumference of my awareness! (Don’t get mad get smart truth over Lies)



How to Raise A Pimp.

"Pimping`" is challenging work. It demands managerial skills, financial acumen, and an intimate knowledge of law enforcement policies and procedures. I’ve observed that a lot of women seem to be raising their sons (often unknowingly) to become pimps. Usually, when we think of a pimp, we think of a man driving around in a big car with a bunch of streetwalkers that he panders to other lusty men.

But there are other types of pimps as well. You probably know one. He’s the guy you know that is perpetually looking for a woman (usually his mother, wife, or girlfriend) to take total financial care of him. But contrary to popular belief, primping` is a learned behavior. You have to start training a boy to be a pimp in childhood. Here is how it’s done. First, raise him to think he’s "cute." I’m not talking about a positive self-image. I’m talking about creating an impression in his mind at the earliest possible moment that his physical appearance is more important than how he treats his fellow man or what he knows or thinks.

Do this by piercing his ears and braiding his hair from day one, making him indistinguishable from a little girl. Of course, you would never think of making your baby daughter look like a boy, but that’s OK. And don’t worry, you won’t make him gay, but by focusing on his physical appearance and fashion, you will teach him that a woman’s role in his life is for them to cater to his every material desire just because he is so "cute" or "fine" - you know, like a pimp. Let him think that the world revolves around him by virtue of "cuteness". That way, when the steel mill, corporate American or academia start hiring "cute" instead of "skilled", "strong", or "intelligent", he will finally be able to get a job - whenever that is.

To raise a pimp you must act like a hoe. How else will your son know how to handle them. You’ve got to swear and talk nasty at every available activity. Keep a steady stream of different men coming through your house. Let your son hear you moan in your bedroom as you consort with the "Man of the Week". Let him see how you manipulate men; this one to pay the rent, that one to pay the car note. That way he learns that the only value men have in society is to use and be used by women. It won’t make him a good man, but it will make him one helluv a pimp. Emphasize the importance of sexual rather than intellectual prowess. This is a favorite in black communities. For instance, they say black men have "big ones" If your son is black, make sure he keeps focused on this. That is essential to keeping him on the "pimp track". You see, if he starts valuing "heavy thinking" over being "heavy hung", he might stray from the primping` path that some in the black community - and for that matter, in some segments of white society as well have chosen for some young black men. And you certainly wouldn’t want that to happen, now would you?

Make your son "your man". I’m not talking about sexually, but emotionally. Let your young son talk to you like he’s grown, even when he is a child. Get him involved in your personal affairs. Keep him away from his father and put his father down to him. He will grow with no respect for his father or himself. Since he is young and impressionable, your son may be the only "man" in your life you can "control". So don’t love him, control him. Never let him accept responsibility for his actions. Remember, when he gets in trouble at school, it should always be some other child or the teacher’s fault, never his. If he starts using drugs, blame his friends, not him. If he gets arrested, bail him out immediately and tell the judge that your son is "a good boy". Remember, sorry excuses make sorry men, and sorry men make excellent pimps.
Look, if you follow my advice, your son will grow up to be a trifling, good-for-nothing, clothes-horsing, baby-making, no job-having pimp perpetually dependent on the women in his life (perhaps you) for his very sustenance. But you’ve got to decide early if you want a pimp or a man for a son, because you certainly can’t have both.

THE TESTIMONY OF DENNIS DWAYNE CALDWELL

The space inside this circle represents my realm of knowledge… All that I think that I know about whatever I think that I know is depicted right here in this circle! I must keep in mind that there is more to know than what is within the circumference of my awareness! (Don’t get mad get smart truth over Lies)


THE TESTIMONY OF DENNIS DWAYNE CALDWELL' TRANSITION
FROM CHRISTIANITY, AND ISLAM TO AFRIKAN CONSCIOUSNESS



Hotep (Peace) Brothers & Sisters,
My (birth) name is Dennis Dwayne Caldwell. My spiritual name is Sawaad Amen Ra (which means “Black, Supreme god of the universe.”

Many people have asked me about how I made the transition from a Christian, and Muslim (who was “sold out” for the so-called gospel of Jesus Christ) to African conscious warrior for the liberation of Black African people. After sharing my testimony with another black Christian and Muslim, they suggested that I post the testimony of my transition into African consciousness on the Internet in hopes of inspiring other brothers and sisters who may be at the point of coming into an African awareness from the quantum deception of European philosophical and religious thought. I pray that my testimony will help to strengthen and inspire others who are at the crossroad of right knowledge.

In 1981 I was invited to a meeting of about 25 Black men (educators, businessmen, community leaders, and 3 ministers) in my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Although the meeting had not started, we were informally talking about what needed to be done to enhance our community. Suddenly, I overheard one of the brothers say, "We need to get this European Jesus out of the minds of our people, and realize that the original Christ was named Horus."

I couldn’t believe what I had just heard! Immediately, everything in me shut down and I went into “battle station” mode. I mean, I IMMEDIATELY went to "Def-Con 1" (“Def-Con” is a military phrase, which means "Defense Condition." Def-Con 5 is peacetime, Def-Con 4 is combat preparedness, Def-Con 3 is combat readiness, Def-Con 2 is at combat station, and Def-Con 1 means, “engage the enemy”).

I stepped over to this brother and said, "What do you mean Jesus' name was Horace?" (I thought he was saying H-O-R-A-C-E.) He responded, "It WAS Horus. The first virgin-born, Christ-child was Horus of Egypt and the first record of his birth dates back to over 6,000 years B.C."

Well, I, (with my sincere, but ignorant self), stood in the middle of the floor and said, "Brothers, I am sorry to have to leave, but ANYBODY who refuses to accept who Jesus is a deceiver and is of the devil. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus and I plead the blood of Jesus in this place." (NOTE: I said this because I honestly felt that I was in the midst of satanic agents.) Now, understand, these were Black men who were aware of the truth of our African history, and I saw my own (Black) brothers as agents of Satan!!! Now, did Euro-Gentile Cultural Imperialism and Supremacy (via my "Christian" training) do a job on me or what?

I left that meeting and actually declared war on these men. I felt that it was my "sacred duty" to defend the gospel of Jesus Christ and warn as many people as I could about these Black men (who I genuinely mis-perceived as) agents of the devil. I did this for well over a year.

The 3rd Sunday in March of 1981, as I stood up to read at bible study in a church in Chicago, Il, just as I was about to read the text for the message, which was Romans 8:28, it seemed as though someone whispered in my right ear, "Did people know God BEFORE Moses went up on the mountain?"

I actually turned around to see who was there because it was just that audible and clear. I told the class, "Y'all…wait a minute! This question just popped into my head (then I told them what it was). It wasn't that significant for them, but it was VERY significant for me because ALL of my theology was based in Moses coming down off the mountain with the "Ten Commandments" (or "The Law"). I will never forget that day because it was the day that I began to THINK! I actually exercised my critical thinking faculties and scrutinized what I had been taught all my life.

I asked myself, “Did Moses have a God-consciousness BEFORE talking with God on the mountain?”

A few days later, during my reading, I stumbled across Acts 7:20-22, which states: "In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. And Moses was learned in ALL THE WISDOM OF THE EGYPTIANS, and was mighty in words and in deeds."

I looked up the word "wisdom" (as it was used in that particular verse); it comes from the Greek word "Sophia," which means, "skill and discretion in imparting the truth of God; the knowledge and practice of the requisites for godly and upright living; supreme intelligence, such as belongs to God; the wisdom of God as evidenced in forming and executing counsels in the formation and government of the world and the scriptures." I said, WAIT A MINUTE!!! Moses got THIS from the Egyptians!!!

(NOTE: Throughout my Christian training I was taught that the Egyptians were barbaric, ignorant, enemies of and cursed by God).

Several days later, as I was coming from a job interview in downtown Chicago, my brother’s car was parked in front of an old book store that sold used books called Bazaar Books. I had passed this store hundreds of times over the years and NEVER had the slightest inclination to go inside; but this particular day I was "moved" to go inside and browse around. Of course, the only area that really interested me was Religion & Philosophy.

I picked up a book entitled, "Osiris & The Egyptian Resurrection" (Part 1) by E.A. Wallis Budge. The idea of an Egyptian "RESURRECTION" caught my attention. I opened the front cover to the preface and came across the following words:

"The central figure of the ancient Egyptian Religion was Osiris, and the chief fundamentals of his cult were the BELIEF IN HIS DIVINITY, DEATH, RESURRECTION, and absolute control of the destinies of the bodies and souls of men. The central point of each Osirian's Religion was his HOPE OF RESURRECTION IN A TRANSFORMED BODY AND OF IMMORTALITY, WHICH COULD ONLY BE REALIZED BY HIM THROUGH THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF OSIRIS.

I literally shouted out, "WHAT IS THIS?" I immediately suffered what we psychologists call "cognitive dissonance." I knew that this was EXACTLY what I had believed since I was a child and preached to for almost 21 years, but the central figure of MY belief and message was a man called "Jesus Christ." What really bothered me was, according to what I had been taught, Jesus Christ was the ONLY person about whom such a message applied. Then when I read that this belief system had been with the Nile Valley Africans for at least the last 15 to 20 thousand years…I really lost it!!! You see, any scholar of Christianity will tell you that Genesis 1:1 only dates back to 4,004 B.C.

Then, to top it off, I read about the Ancient African TRINITY; which consisted of Ausar, Aset, and Heru (which the Europeans renamed: Osiris, Isis and HORUS)!!! I came to find out that Horus was the "virgin born, immaculately conceived" son of Osiris. This led me on a sincere and intense search for actual undeniable evidence for the truth.

The more I researched, the more I realized that the entire program that I had been indoctrinated into was a LIE. In 1982, I decided to leave the Christian belief that I was so popular in and knew so well. I simply could not, any longer, stand in front of my people and teach that which I had found to be a stolen, copied, plagiarized and European fabricated version of the ancient concepts of African spirituality.

This was the most painful period of my life. At one point I had become so depressed about my believing in LIES that I even had thoughts of suicide. How could I have been so wrong??? I couldn’t understand how I actually experienced “the power of God” moving upon me in mighty and awesome ways in the past IF this was all a lie??? I felt betrayed, humiliated, deceived, confused, unworthy, and like a complete failure.

Now, I wasn’t feeling all this because of the truths that I had come to find out about. No! For these truths were UNDENIABLE EVIDENCES that DEMANDED AN UNDENIABLE and INEVITABLE VERDICT! That verdict was that I had been lied to! I was angry with all those who taught me these lies (my mother, my teachers, my friends, etc.). The ONLY thing that helped me in this area was coming to the realization that the same dog that bit me bit my parents too! They were only teaching me what they had been taught.

This, however, that doesn’t apply to my preacher. I met with my preacher, and asked him, “Why isn’t this information a part of your curriculum at school and course requirements for a degree in Sacred Literature?” He said to me, “You don’t need to know about that. Besides, it is not substantial data within the context of the mission statement of this institution.” He had just told me, in a politically correct way, that I had been trained in one of the biggest LIES of all time and that I was supposed to perpetuate this LIE and train others in it.

After several years of securing the proper education of right knowledge. Through an old wise man, God convicted me in September of 1986 by asking me; “Son, if you young folk, whose eyes have been opened to the truth, abandon our people (who don’t know no better), then what hope is there for us?” Then he said, “God DID call you to preach, but to preach the TRUTH!”

Hence, here I am…

My reason for sharing this testimony is NOT to "convert" anyone to African consciousness…but simply to let you know that since the European invasion and theft of our people from our Motherland, we Africans have been born and raised in the LIE of European Religious and Cultural Imperialism and we think we are walking in the truth (because it is all that we know)! The religion that we have been made to love (Christianity), was forced upon us by European slave traders and the European “slave masters” who enslaved us. That alone should make EVERY Black man, woman and child be suspect about the slave master's religion.

There is a phrase that says you reap what you sow. Well, that certainly is true, because I have gone (and am going) through the same kind of attack that I viciously put on those brothers who compassionately respected my ignorance in 1981. I wish that I could go back and tell them that I am so sorry for attacking their awareness with my ignorance…but most of them have passed on. So when I give the oath to the Ancestors, I remember them. They were the ones that God used to plant the seed of this truth in me. Now, when I am attacked (by others who are sincerely ignorant), I see my “old” self and where I came from. That helps me to be compassionate on my attackers. I realize that they are sincerely defending what they think is the truth (just like I did).

Coming into a consciousness of your African self can (and probably will be) very painful for you. I must admit that it’s very painful being called "an antichrist" or "a messenger of Satan" or "false prophet," etc., by your own people. It hurts being MISUNDERSTOOD by your family, friends and loved ones, especially when they haven't done (nor are they willing to do) the research and/or learn what you have learned; but, yet you are the one who is "deceived" and don't know what you are talking about. Believe me, THAT HURTS!

Then there are those (Christians) who feel that I “need to be stopped for the sake of the gospel!" But I know that God has called me and given me this assignment… AND I CAN'T STOP! Even if it means loved ones walking away from me and calling me "crazy" (which has happened), or even losing my physical life. And, it’s just THAT serious. The worse pain of all is when your family, friends, loved ones, and others who would misjudge you, REFUSE to do their own research to see for themselves the basis of your information or if what you are saying is true or not.

I have actually pulled books from the libraries of other ministers, turned to the proof or source of the information in question and said, "Here, man. See for yourself.” They would look away and say, "I don't want to see that." I have stood across the desks of several friends (who are pastors) and asked them, “Brother, why are you attacking me when what I have said is right here in the very commentary that you study by and use to prepare your messages?” I understand that the reason they didn’t want to “see” was because then they, too, would be compelled to change, and that is definitely NOT an option for most ministers who can be voted out and/or removed from their pulpits if they do not preach and uphold the “doctrines” of that particular church or denomination.

Another problem that I was faced with was the problem with music ministry. Over 90% of the songs that are wrote and used to sing, I couldn't sing them anymore. I began to realize that it’s not really about worshipping GOD! It’s about worshipping “Jesus!” Even the biblical text states that Jesus said that NO ONE IS TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT GOD ALONE!!! ("Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM ONLY shalt thou serve") (See Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4:8).

Did you know that (according to the biblical text) Jesus NEVER told his disciples to go preach (or teach) about him! He told his disciples, "As you go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 10:7). We have been programmed to give more attention to the so-called "gift" (Jesus) than the giver (God) of the gift. Not only could I not “preach” this Euro-Gentile "program" anymore... I painfully learned that my friends were my friends as long as we were in agreement “when it comes to Jesus.” I have been told many times, "The bible says, how can two walk together except they agree." I couldn't understand why other Christian friends (who I thought were my friends) discontinued our relationship as friends just because I learned something that they didn't know or agreed with??? What did that have to do with me as a person???

In closing, please understand, what God reveals to you, is for YOU! I made the mistake of trying to take others along with me to the next level in MY development. It doesn’t work that way! Realize that if you choose to learn more, you may very well lose some of your closest friends. You will want to take them to the next level with you, but realize that God is taking YOU there...not y'all there.

I pray that this testimony is helpful to some brother or sister who is making their transition to African consciousness. Stay strong, Brothers and Sisters, and always know that the Creator and the Ancestors are with you!

For Black men only!

Where are you my Brothers? In this essence in time it seems we're extinct and blind our women, our children, our mothers, fathers and brothers can't find us have we dis-appeared? Have we allowed America to smear our image with mis-conceptions and lies created out of fear? Look at us brethren Our situation is beyond critical Instead of unified Kings and noble men we're starving, spiritless, material lusting individuals We are no longer the images of our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers We're even condemned by them Living in a world of constant battles and sin sending our own selves to our ends No longer friends, just bodies braving the wild of the world Losing our souls as time unfurls It's sad that I no longer feel kin to my brethren I feel alien amongst crowds of loud-talking', fast walking', women cursing' studs who have drug the image of us in the mud We no longer have respect for our Nubian Queens It is an understatement to say that we treat them cruel and mean Our behavior amongst them is extreme We no longer exist with them as a team We Brothers call our precious women everything but who and what they truly are which has left our Queens spirits colored with bruises and scars We treat them so foul one outside of our race would doubt that their ours to serenade with Beautiful names and respect Instead we'd rather treat them with neglect My Brothers where art though As our little men and women experience this world without guidance and protection We've left it to the media, sports stars and rap and R&B songs to give them their life’s lessons We are unrecognized in their eyes lies unseen tears for years our children have sung the blues while we've shown up here and there with an outfit to give them along with a pair of shoes We must wake up We're losing our women and children to this cold world and vultures Lacking knowledge of self and a history of their divine past and culture Let us rise again men and except the positions of providers and protectors Let the world drink from our nurturing nectar.

King Leopold II of Belgium:

Many black scholars of local and global black history have referenced this letter from King Leopold of Belgium. For those of you who are not familiar with him. He is the man who started the practice of amputating arms, legs, etc. that we NOW SEE IN LIBERIA and SIERRA LEONE. To realize that these warring are copying the wicked practice of the Belgian leader of the Congo in the late 1800s and early 1900's shows the level at which self-hatred has been ingrained into people of African decent:
Brothers and sisters, the following speech was given by King Leopold II of Belgium in 1883...

"Reverends, Father, and Dear Compatriots:

The task that is given to us to fulfill is very delicate and requires much tact. You will go certainly to evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire above all Belgium interests.

Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the niggers to know God. Thus they know already. They speak and submit to a Mungu, one Nzambi, one Nzakomba, and what else I don't know. They know that to kill, to sleep with someone else's wife, to lie and to insult is bad.

Have courage to admit it; you are not going to teach them what they know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of administrators and industrials, which means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the best to protect your interests in that part of the world.

For these things, you have to keep watch on disinteresting our savages from the richness that is plenty in their underground. To avoid that they get interested in it, and make you a murderous competition and dream one day to overthrow you.

Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering, and encouraging your followers to love poverty. Like happier are the poor because they will inherit the heaven and it's very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.

You have to detach from them and make them disrespect everything which gives courage to affront us. I make reference to their Mystic System and their war fetish - warfare protection - which they pretend not to want to abandon, and you must do everything in your power to make it disappear.

Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they won't revolt when the recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parent's teachings. The children have to learn to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their soul. You must singularly insist on their total submission and obedience, avoid developing the spirits in the schools, teach students to read and not to reason.

There, dear compatriots, are some of the principles that you must apply. You will find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the niggers so that they stay forever in submission to the white colonialists, so they never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing.

Recite every day - "happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them." Convert always the blacks by using the whip. Keep their women in nine months of submission to work freely for us. Force them to pay you in sign of recognition - goats, chickens or eggs - every time you visit their villages. And make sure that niggers never become rich. Sing every day that it's impossible for the rich to enter heaven.

Make them pay tax each week at Sunday mass. Use the money supposed for the poor, to build flourishing business centres. Institute a confessional system, which allows you to be good detectives denouncing any black that has a different consciousness contrary to that of the decision-maker.

Teach the niggers to forget their heroes and to adore only ours. Never present a chair to a black that comes to visit you. Don't give him more than one cigarette. Never invite him for dinner even if he gives you a chicken every time you arrive at his house."

History as a Weapon:

Carter G. Woodson, who laid the foundation for Black History Month, stated "when you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions". According to Woodson, not only would this man know his "proper place", but he would stay in it. One did not need to send this man to the back door for he would willingly seek it; if there was no back door then he would eagerly make one. Woodson knew that it was the shadow of racism that was responsible for this mental condition. And, with history as a weapon, he sought to make war with it.

Racism has for the past few centuries sought to blast black people to the nether realms of humanity. Author Neely Fuller stated it best: "Until you understand white supremacy, everything else will confuse you". Racism is an institution that seeks to control one's thoughts, actions and way of life. It does this best not through shackles and guns, but through the conquering of one's mind. And it has had powerful soldiers who serve as its torchbearers.

And yes, they are more influential than some white-hooded man with a swastika. They include scientist George Cuvier, anthropologist and founder of geology, paleontology and modern comparative anatomy, who described African women as "more like an ape"; medical doctor Robert Bennett Bean who found "a deficiency in the Negro brain". They are also writers like Alexis de Tocqueville, who saw blacks as an "intermediate between men and the brutes", and Rudyard Kipling, who poetically described blacks as "half devil and half child" and philosophers like David Hume, who described blacks as "naturally inferior". They are U.S. diplomat Clifton R. Breckinridge, who described blacks as "the most insatiate brute that exists in human form" and Constitution framer Thomas Jefferson who described blacks as "inferior to the whites in ... both body and mind" contending "orangutans prefer having sex with black women". Their ranks boast psychologist Arthur Jensen who declared, "Whites are more intelligent than Negroes" and Nobel Prize winner William Shockley who not only believed that black "intelligence is naturally ... low", but also suggested our mass sterilization. They are comprised of president Richard Nixon, who believed blacks to be "genetically inferior", Christian missionary Albert Schweitzer who stated, "the Negro is a child" and William K. Coors, owner of Adolph Coors Brewing Co., who stated that blacks "lack the intellectual capacity to succeed", declaring slavery a fortunate event for African people. In their number are even American idols like John Wayne who proudly stated, "I believe in white supremacy".

Witness their titles: scientist, doctor, writer, philosopher, diplomat, founding father, psychologist, Nobel Prize winner, president, Christian missionary, business mogul, and American idol. These are not unlearned men who suffer from a lack of schooling. But more importantly they are people who hold power in their hands. They can mold thought, beliefs, laws and institutions (from schools to the media) to their liking. And even worse still, they have.

The toll that centuries of such mental abuse can have on the mind is near inconceivable. And there is not one of us, no matter how strong of mind, who can say we have not been affected by this terrible onslaught. Every time we scoff doubtfully at the possibility of black achievement, this is evident. Every time we degrade and try to hide our natural physical features at an attempt to conform to some mythical beauty standard, this is evident. Each time we insult each other with hurtful words borrowed from those who would oppress us, this is evident. Each time our youth thinks that pimps, thugs or other figments of a wayward imagination are somehow an expression of "blackness" or "realness", this is evident. Each time we choose not to try for fear we cannot possibly succeed, this is evident. One of the most important tools racism has at its disposal is the mind of its victim. In this way, he or she becomes a tool of self-hate without even being aware of it. It is often asked, "Can black people be racist?" The answer is, "yes". And whom have we been more racist against, than each other?

This is where history and Carter G. Woodson's gift makes its importance.

Black people must know that brutes did not institute what may have been the world's first monarchy in ancient Nubia. "Inferior" men and women did not design the great Her-em-Akhet (sphinx) or raise the pyramids. "Ape-like" women did not create queens such as Tiye, Makedda and Nzingah. "Less intelligent" blacks did not build the stone cities of great Zimbabwe or construct palaces in Axum. "Childlike" Africans did not raise Ghana, spawn empires like Mali, and carve out nations like Songhai, Hausa or Buganda. "Naturally inferior" men and women did not give rulers and warriors to Carthage or Islamic Spain. "Deficient brains" did not produce a St. Maurice, an Alexander Pushkin, an Alexandre Dumas, a Harriet Tubman, a Touissant L'Overture, an Ida B. Wells, a Charles Drew, a Duke Ellington, a Zora Neale Hurston, a Booker T. Washington, a WEB DuBois, a Marcus Garvey, an Elijah Muhammad, a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Malcolm X, a Fannie Lou Hamer, a Cheikh Anta Diop and countless more.

They certainly could not have produced a Heru, an Oshun or conceived something as vast as Jok. They could not have moved the Greek bard Homer to call them "faultless men" with whom even his own gods sought the pleasure of dining. They did not hail from the very continent from which all of humanity traces its roots.

For all these reasons and so much more, Black History Month is important. The legacy left to us by Woodson must be picked up and used to forever destroy the shadow of white supremacy and self hate which has threatened so often to swallow us all.

Nigga Or Nigger?

Nigga Or Nigger:

The most interesting facet of this last poll was the number of people who are growing tired of hearing the word 'nigga' being bantered about.. I recall growing up in the Bronx and constantly having that word being tossed about by the roughneck Irish kids who resided near Van Courtland Park, Johnson Ave in Riverdale, Washington Heights and South Broadway in Yonkers.. There were many a days that some serious racial confrontations broke off-usually as a result of that N word being thrown about.. It surprises me how candidly the word gets used today.. especially by those who aren't Black..Like KRS-One says.. 'Now we got white kids calling themselves nigga'... What hurts even more is you have this ridiculous assertion being spouted by some brothers who will point out that there's a big difference between the word 'Nigger' and 'Nigga'. Hence when I was growing up I was being called 'Nigger' which is offensive.. but when some white or Asian kid comes rolling up to me today talking about 'What's up my Nigga'? I should embrace him because this kid is down with hip hop culture... Even sadder is you have some brothers who take this word and flip it so that it empowers them..So now nigga is a good thing... We've internalized so much negativity it's ridiculous..


This sort of mentality reminds me of the way some of us celebrate the success of a hip hop concert... Here you have kids running up and saying things like "Man there was only one fight during the concert'.. or 'Only one person got shot'.. Normal, civil, intelligent behavior is so rare nowadays.. that we actually give props to something that should be an everyday occurance..What compounds this situation even more is that we have some very prominent individuals within hip hop who have literally 'blessed' the word nigga.. I recall arguing with non-Black collegues about the offensive qualities of that word... only to have some local and sometimes nationally known artist roll on the set and say.. "Dave is on some Black power/ Malcolm X shit....we're all niggas in this bitch"..

I recall the saddness I felt when Notorious BIG made a station ID for two the station's djs a few years back.. He gets on the mic..and says 'You're checkin' out my Niggas Trace and Franzen on 106 KMEL'...He saw no problem with the fact that these djs weren't Black.. and that by saying the word in that context he was giving liscence to all sorts of folks to use this word.. At the time a lot of my co-workers thought it was cool..After all all sorts of rappers would come up and use the word and allow the word to be used around them.. Thank God my old PD [Michelle S] disallowed that ID to air.. But what about in other instances? Def Comedy Jam, and all sorts of places give liscence for the word to be used.. It's gotten to the point now where radio edits for songs still contain the word while reversing words like 'Faggot' dyke' 'fuck' etc.. Even here on the net and on the message boards of the website.. How many white kids from far off places like London, Sweden, Germany and even Kentucky have found it to be either cute or an affirmation of their hipness to refer to themselves and everyone else as nigga...

There's an old saying that goes 'What you say or allow to be said about you is what you will become'.. Too many brothers within hip hop have allowed themselves to become that 'ignorant nigga' that so many whites once did and still think of us... Going back to my last newsletter where I spoke about the power of words..I'm amazed and motivated to follow the lead of other ethnic groups who vehemently step to folks who put forth offensive material.. For example, let's take a look at the Jewish community.. After all the crazy stuff they've been through, many within that community ain't letting stuff slide.. There seems to be an attitude that says you will not mis-characterize our people.. Puffy put out a song called 'It's All About The Benjamins'.. In the the original 12" he says the following line:'... Who's gonna believe you?/ You should do what we do stack chips like Hebrews'.., Now on the both the radio and non radio edits of that song the word' Hebrew' is deleted out... It's not reversed or anything like that.. It's completely omitted..The word 'Fuck' and other curses are allowed to stay on the non radio edits.. mix... So why not Hebrew?... Because they do not want the world to rehash and reaffirm a stereotype about them being money hungry..

My feelings on this is as follows.. I'm not sure if Puffy removed the word on his own.. or if someone within Arista records removed the word.. Or if the Jewish community step to him.. All I know is that Puffy uses the word Nigga in all sorts of songs.. But won't go there when it comes to dissing the Jewish community.. Why? because folks from that part of town ain't going out like that.... Meanwhile brothers is killing each other on record, calling each other nigga this and nigga that on record etc... It's all the result of ignorance and to a large degree internalized hatred.. It's ironic in many of Puffy's songs.. He and Mase can step to and regulate on 'Niggas' who get out of hand.. But they can't 'stack chips like Hebrews'.. I wish we as a people were as diligent...

Another community that doesn't allow too many mischaracterizations is the Gay & Lesbian community.. If you start dissing them..they will extract some extreme punishment.. I recall a few years back when Cypress Hill headlined at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco... One of the opening acts had a hype man who started yelling trying to get the crowd hyped.. 'What Are You men or Fags? I recall him yelling... The next day over 75 phone calls came to the radio station demanding that we remove Cypress Hill from our playlist.. There were at least ten djs from our station who attended the concert that night and who saw and heard Cypress not be offensive.. But word had spread within the Gay community that Cypress Hill were the culprits and hence they were off limits. The pressure mounted... It wasn't enough that the group wrote a letter and apologized for any offensive behavior that took place during their concert.. The Gay community mounted so much pressure that we didn't play their music for more then a year.. That meant they were even off limits during the mix and rap shows.. Again.. B-Real can use the N word all he wants in his songs.. He can light a few joints.. But he best not go around dissing gay folks.. or he'll pay...And in this case he did..

Another artist who learned the hard way was Def Jeff.. About 10 years ago while performing in SF.. He yelled out 'All the people who don't have AIDS be quiet'... Def Jeff hasn't been back to perform since then.. He's had some hot records...but club owners throughout the Bay Area wouldn't book him... If memory serves me correctly our good friend Turbo B from the group Snap made some disparing remarks about Gay folks and his career took a serious nose dive..

Records like 'Dre Day' which was featured on The Chronic lp were played everyday on commercial stations.. Here it was ok for Snoop and Dre to rap about smacking someone's girl.. and putting a gat in someone's mouth.. But when it came to the part about someone's mom being a 'Frisco Dyke' that word was flipped around or eliminated completely.. I ain't mad at that..Again you have a group of people who ain't going out like that... Yes, I realize that Gays often call themselves Queer and Fag.. But you ain't rolling through the set and publicly gonna do this..

The point I'm making with all this is that this word 'Nigga' has been used to the point that folks feel like it's a part of hip hop and Black Culture..Yes, I realize that we've used this word forever within our community.. But never before in such public arenas.. I'm sure Jewish folks have remarks that they say within their own communities as do Gays.. But they ain't giving the public a liscence to step that way..At least not to the same degree that we as Black folks have... Like I said the word nigga' is a word that gets blessed by some of our brightest and most visible artists.. Not to pick on Puffy.. but right now he's the largest one out there.. I recall going to his concert in San Jose and watching him get 15 thousand people to raise their hand middle finger and say 'Fuck You Bitch'... Right afterwards L'il Kim came out and got everyone to yell 'Fuck You Nigga'.. The majority of that audioence was non-Black.. It sure was strange hearing a whole bunch of white and Asian kids..some as young as 10 yelling 'Fuck You Nigga'... But hey we're in the last days...and Jerry Springer rules....

Just one last thought.. I'm not in anyway trying to equate the word Nigga with Black folks.. But the reality is when that word is used the image that pops up is a Black Face.. It's the streotype of us in all its fullness.. As a result we continue to suffer from the negative streotypes often associated with that word...



Death of a Nigga.

Don't Say "Represent" Unless You Mean It!

I hear it all day long... I hate it every time I hear it.

You know, it hurts my feelings more when a black man calls another black man a nigger than it does when a white person says it. I understand it when those who are racist call us niggers....but for the life of me, I can't understand why we do it ourselves.

First of all, let's set the record straight, no matter how you spell it, nigger means nigger. Don't tell me it's just a slang either, because I would think that after all our people went through, you could come up with something better than that. When I was coming up we used to call each other 'brother'. Nigger and boy where fighting words. You see, for those of us who really try to represent black people, nigger is STILL a bad word. For those of you who come into the Cathouse, if you've ever noticed, those people who come in like "wassup niggas!" get no response from me. I have never been, nor will I ever be someone's nigga. My ancestors gave their lives NOT to be niggers; I'm not going to take their names in vain because YOU choose to be ignorant.

The thing that really kills me is that you can use the word 'represent' in the same sentence. Please know this, if you're out there calling yourselves niggers and being proud of it, then YOU DON'T REPRESENT ANYTHING. I am a proud black man and you sure as hell don't represent me. To be honest, all of you gang sign flashing, drive-by doing, crack selling, black man killing, black woman disrespecting fools are more of a discredit to our race than anything. Especially the Gang Members. Killing each other for areas and territories you don't even own. All that represents is stupidity. When did the words of Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seals and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. become bullshit? I didn't get that memo and sure as hell wouldn't have paid it any attention if it came across my desk.

Niggers are the reason why our neighborhoods look like they do. Niggers are the reason why our kids can't leave the block. Niggers are the reason why I have to take my subwoofer out of my car at night. Niggers are the reason why I have to lock my doors at night. No self respecting brother would set foot into anyone's house without being invited, or write all over every wall in the neighborhood, or sell drugs to anyone with five dollars, or abandon his kids, or disrespect his elders, or call another self respecting brother a nigger. The word nigger needs to be laid to rest. It needs to die. And if you're a so-called die hard nigger, then you need to go with it. YOU are the reason why blacks can't have anything. YOU are one of the main reasons why racism still exists. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate you, I just don't like you. I am ashamed of you, as you should be of yourselves.

Black Fatherhood:

Being a father is one of the most important roles & responsibilities in a man’s life. Being a positive influence to ones child’s life (lives) while instilling morals, self-esteem & the seeds for a successful life is one that is vital to the African-American child...male & female.

Over the years, African-American men have constantly been perpetrated as bed-hopping, good for nothing, irresponsible men who leave a trail of women & abandoned children in their wake. Much of these modes of thinking have been perpetuated by the media, society AND by African-American’s themselves. While there might be some bad apples in the barrel, the whole bunch didn't fall from the same tree.
Sadly, African-American families (including a mother & father that are married & live under the same roof) are the exception rather than the rule. Many in the community as well as various community leaders find this alarming & are urging for change.....for our children's sake.

"The Cosby Show" in the 80's & 90's let America know and "reminded" African-American's that we, too, can have thriving, happy, functional homes with attentive mothers & fathers working together to raise a family. The "player" mentality is one that has caused much harm to our families as of late. Granted...not everyone is living the "Cosby family" dream life (regardless of race) but the visual of such a utopian family existence is the one that even I still fantasize about. But is that such an unrealistic "reality"?

It has been debated for ages whether the enslavement of blacks in America have actually created & helped propel the breakup of the black family. In slavery, little regard was taken to the black slave family unit & owners sold off fathers, mothers & children when the occasion arose. The black man was stripped of his freedom, his manhood and his family. His self respect was taken and often his life....for being a Black man. The years of oppression just may be a contributing factor to black man's "fight or flight" reflex. But in recognition of the African-American fathers who do take care of their children & to the African-American men who take on a "father figure" role for children who have an absentee father, your efforts, patience & love does NOT go unnoticed. African-American children & this community as a whole can only benefit by such leaders. By seeing that "fathers don't leave", these examples of black men instills in children & again the community that in order for us to be a successful, prosperous & healthy people, we MUST start with the home....with a solid foundation. Otherwise, we are contributing to the detriment this community already endures from society and economical factors with the lack of emotional commitment for our families. Keep your head up, Black dads everywhere. You are loved, appreciated & respected. You are paving the way for our future generations. Thank you for your strength amidst adversity.

A sleep of 6,000 years.

The space inside this circle represents my realm of knowledge… All that I think that I know about whatever I think that I know is depicted right here in this circle! I must keep in mind that there is more to know than what is within the circumference of my awareness! (Don’t get mad get smart truth over Lies)

A sleep of 6,000 years.



Back once again to make the mentally dead scream in pain. Back once again to cut out the foul soul of those who wish to stop universal knowledge of self. I am the one who will not fall for the same old tricks used to kill my culture and intellect. I will not buy into the 6,000 year lie that has my people asleep. I am the one who makes the government and other so-called leaders of the masses fear the big payback . I AM a seeker of the divine. I AM a traveler who moves to the east for spiritual cultivation . I flee from the west and all it’s material death.

The prophetic one would like to know " Why are the original seeds trying to be other than themselves?" I believe that there has been enough nice conversation about religion, philosophy, politics, and racism. It is time to wreck shop, and put all you dumb ass niggaz in check! I don’t want to make friends with this scroll, I want you so-called black men to reevaluate your state of mind. And if you can’t stomach this message and get mad at me "So be it." Your dead weight anyway nigga, stay on the plantation where you belong ! This scroll is for real men, please no hoes allowed.

Now let’s talk about you fools who talk so much garbage about things you know nothing about. Let’s talk about the fool who will speak of a so called truth, yet does not know of the things he claims are false. All religions have this disease but all men who are into religion are not guilty of this nonsense. I must be honest too you and too myself, in my opinion the so-called BLACK CHRISTIAN is the biggest perpetrator of claiming truth, when they are lacking knowledge in the subjects and religions that they claim are wrong. How foolish can one be? If you are going to disrespect another man’s beliefs at least have the sense to know of what you say is pagan. If you can’t do this then please SHUT UP!! It is a spell of apathy and simple mindedness that disease the NUBIAN race. A sleep of 6 millenniums. How will we awaken out of this stupidity? The typical black Christian usually does not know much outside the sphere of their own religion, So I ask how will you judge another man’s concept of truth? Especially when you lack the knowledge of his opinion. Negroes are really quite amusing. Any one who is stolen from their homeland and beat and enslaved by so-called good white Christian folks for 460 years, then adopt the names, holidays, and religion of those who be beating yo ass, is a damn fool who deserves to be hung from a tree while he gazes at a burning cross. If your slave master was not a Christian you wouldn’t be a Christian. Most of you have been told that Christianity was in Africa before slavery, in order to have an excuse to practicing this plantation religion. This is true to a degree. Since all religions have their roots in Africa and all scripture was written by people of color. But the Christianity you practice today is nothing even remotely close to what the messiah was teaching. Basically you have a European church with European thoughts and culture and you have an African Church with African thought and culture. Guess which one yo dumb ass is practicing. It ain’t the African model that is for sure. You silly mortals try and blacken up the church by painting the face of Jesus black, Now you feel like you are the really radical, and revolutionary, now you the blackest thing since coal. But yet it is to no avail you still practice a religion based on Eurocentric behavior patterns and concepts, so the message and is still white. You have a superficial concept of religion and the prophet that brought it. You illogically have a black man teaching white values and morals. So stop painting Jesus face black if you not gonna go the whole 9 yards. Painting his face black is not the answer, you need to paint his message back to black. Then some understanding will take root.

Why is the church so popular with Negroes and seen as a joke by an original CUSHITE like myself? It is quite simple, a Negro is a coward who fears things he does not understand. He is easily persuaded by majority rule and popular opinion. A Negro let’s others think for him so if he is found at fault he can point the finger at anyone but himself. The Negro is a fool who goes to GAWWD"S house to sing and dance in gibberish supposedly given by the holy spirit. But in reality all they are doing is trying to hide the fact that their doctrine is full of contradiction’s and inconsitancies. Some church’s put on a show so entertaining you would think you was on Soul Train. May the Negro die and become a thing of the past. Mr. Bojangles I will one day see your head on a platter then the resurrection can begin.

But on the other hand the CUSHITE is one who draws upon ancient ancestral wisdom. I think for myself and do not fear mistakes made along the way to enlightenment. I AM wise enough to know that the truth has always been kept by the few and not the many. The scrolls of ancient books as well as the Bible will tell you that the majority is always lost and need the guidance of the few who can grasp truth in all it’s simplicity. Now you may ask why is this true? It may be true due to the majority of man and mankind are more apt to follow rather than lead into the unknown realms of the esoteric. While the Negro fears the place called hell, the CUSHITE asks "Why should I fear a place that cannot be proven to exist?" I ask you to first prove that your mythical hell is indeed real before I cringe in fear. But the Negro is satisfied with hearsay and some vague talk about the subject in a so-called holy scripture that has many stories that conflict with reality. The CUSHITE is not preoccupied with fairytales of eternal damnation, for he sees hell and damnation now for those who ignore this physical realm. You Niggas are in hell now, because you have been taught that you will get rewarded for your suffering in the afterlife!!! You sucka!

It is now 1995 and you people are still asleep, you eagerly await the return of the Messiah. You hope to see him fall from the sky with a legion of little white babies with wings playing harps and trumpets. It will be quite comical to see your pathetic face when you see that all you have been taught by society is a bunch of trash. But you are probably saying that I AM the one who will lose on judgment day. We all will see who was right and who was wrong. Will it be the Christian majority of the U.S.A(the new roman empire) ,or will it be people like me. Will the real revolutionaries be those that agree with this present day government and religious system. Or will it be those who speak out against the powers that be and tell the modern day Pharisees and Pontius Pilates that the jig is up, it’s time for justice and equality for all men ,woman and children. It seems to me that the Negro is on the verge of extinction due to lack of brain cells. I hate to say it people but the European seems to be right about you. You are stupid and lazy. If you disagree that is fine, but all I see is brothers trying to be European while at the same time being screwed by the European. If that ain’t stupid then I don’t know what is. Prove wrong Mr. Negro. I hope that I AM. I don’t want to hear no damn excuses about why you can’t make it in life. I don’t want to hear about who is holding you back or oppressing you. You niggas are so quick to point the finger at others. If you chumps spent at least half the energy you use to cry and bitch on educating yourselves, you would be Einstein by now.

You fools to busy rolling through the projects knock’n boots with project hoes, and leaving her pregnant to care for your illegitimate kids. You to busy trying to stay out of jail and not get shot over stepp’n on another niggas new white gym shoes. You too busy crying about the job that the white man did not give you, yet you too lazy to create your own jobs. But your illegitimate kids grow up to do the same dumb shit you did because you were not there to guide and teach him . But yet why should you care about being a father ? Your father was not there for you so that makes it all right now , don’t it ? Bullshit!! Somebody has to break the cycle of shame, why not you ? If you don’t, the cycle of non-productive blackmen will be endless. We will be a nation of human waste. we are not far from that now. You prefer to leave your kids at the mercy of the government. Uncle Sam is their daddy now. The government has assumed the role of the black father. But you don’t seem to care. "Responsibility" is not in your vocabulary.

The blackwoman is satisfied with a county check and food stamps(or pay-ease)and watching Soap operas on TV all damn day, The children see mom court an endless parade of niggaz that just want to hit the skinz and then jet. She tries in vain to find a man who willing to take care of the 4 kids that she birthed by 3 different daddies. This is an impossible dream. So she in turn becomes very bitter and tries to juice a man of all his financial income whenever she can. If a nigga want some loving he better have the ability to pay her rent, which is only 4 dollars on section 8 housing. "No romance without finance" is how the saying goes. But the kids see this behavior day in and day out, they internalize the carnal ,savage , materialism that is rampant in the house. They see and immolate those around them. Then the child goes to school and they learn white supremacy veiled in the disguise of education. They learn that niggaz was found by the whiteman in Africa wearing string up our ass ,eating bananas and swinging on vines. They learn that the blackman never did anything worthwhile, and the European did it all. The child is poisoned by the media. He sees the news that portrays niggaz as criminals, he sees movies that show us dealing dope and gang banging. He hears rap music that glorifies peeling niggaz caps back, selling poison to your own people and doing jail time. Then he goes to church and learns that man is a sinful being and that we are but filthy rags to the lord . He finds out that he can’t save his own soul he must look to a white god for direction. He finds out that you must worship the white god or burn forever in hell. Is it any wonder that we are blowing each others heads off with lead projectiles ? Self -hate the cancer of young black youth. These new breed of blacks have no soul(conciounce). Thus they are the walking dead.

This scroll is not going to bog you down with facts, figures, names and dates of events. I have been around long enough to know that most niggaz attention span is too limited to even finish a book of that sort. You got to talk ghetto and raunchy now-a-days to get their attention. You know it’s true dammit .Don’t get mad ,this is a reality check. You know if you are of that type or not. Besides I AM a regular practitioner of saying four letter words due to my military experiances and my prison job influences.I’m smashing Christianity to pieces, if your a church nigga you probably saying that this kind of behavior is prophesied by the Bible. The behavior of Christian persecution and intolerance, thus now you feel that you should be stronger than ever and guard your spirit from me. But yet you tend not to understand other lessons in the Bible that would counter that nonsense, Most of the things I say will mean nothing to the Christian fanatic. The fear of hell fire keeps niggaz in check. This is the science of manipulation that the power elite have set in motion. They know that your emotions will keep you sleep and your logic will be forced to take a back seat to your fears.

Now I want to give some examples of how hypocritical the Christian is and how his arrogance will be the death of him. Did you know that the Bible is plagiarized? I can help show you what I mean. The modern day Christian is bent on calling everybody else’s religion and beliefs pagan and mythical. But we shall soon see what is pagan and what is myth. The Christian mindstate is this; due to the fear of eternal damnation and hellfire (plantation theology), they will refuse to intake other viewpoints that conflict with their present belief system. The close minded will never achieve enlightenment or wisdom. The mind is like the body, it needs food. Mental nourishment is needed for proper growth. The Christian is starving like Marvin!!! The Christian will punk out when it comes to debate in a serious forum, they don’t have much knowledge to draw on . If the subject gets into non-biblical waters they will surely drown. They fail to see the links between the world’s major myths and religions. This is because they have been trained like the blind dogs they are , not to look for knowledge outside of what master has deemed right and exact.

If I read them the story of Jesus and the story of Hercules , do you think they could see the similarities in the content of the story lines? I THINK NOT! Well let us compare them anyway, so we can see which came first the chicken or the egg. Jesus was half man and half god ,his mother was mortal ,his father was Yahweh. Hercules was half man and half god his mother was mortal his father was Zeus the supreme god of Mt. Olympus. Both father gods descended out of heaven to impregnate mortal woman. Both sons were born in caves and both were whisked away from those who wished to kill the offspring of god. Hercules and Jesus both lived among mortal men and fought evil. Jesus gathered 12 disciples who’s names represent attributes and qualities to be developed by mortal man. Hercules had 12 labors to complete to prove his godhood. Each trial represents a lesson or attribute. Did you notice the number 12 in both the stories? The Christian will not understand the significance of the number due too their limited knowledge. They will not notice that somehow 12 is tied to a universal lesson. They don’t know why there are 12 sighs in the Zodiac, 12 months in a year, 12 inches in a foot, 12 Titans in Greek mythology, 12 tribes of Israel , 12 grades to complete before you go to college. All this is over their head, even if I told them they would get scared and rebuke me in the name of JEEEZUS!! Silly little Negro. Well back to the topic. Both men died at an early age at the hands of evil and both ascended back into heaven to be with their fathers. The Christian will try and claim that Greeks stole the story from the Bible but even their own Christian scholars know that the Greek story predates the Christian one by several hundred years. But better yet it was stole by the Greeks from Egypt.

Or how about the fact that almost all the worlds major saviors and or sun gods have a virgin mother by the name of Mary. See diagram below.

MOTHER SON

Mary Jesus

Maia Bhudda

Maia Hermes

Maya Agni

Myrrha Adonis

Myrrha Bacchus

Mariama Krishna

The name Mary has it’s root meaning in "water". In some Christian paintings you can see the angel Gabriel at the annunciation holding a water lily. And the Hindus use the Lotus. The symbolism is quite simple to a man of universal knowledge. All life sprang from primordial waters. And thus life sprang from these woman who symbolize water. But you still don’t understand what is going on do you Mr. Grits? Or how about the fact that the name Abraham is the Hindu name Brama with the "A" as a suffix instead of a prefix. You mortals amuse me with your fear of what you call god. Your Pastor will tell you to stay strong and to not let anyone shake your faith in Jeezus, for if you do your loving god will fry your black ass. And now we come down to the last 5 years of the century and the coming apocalypse is at hand or so you believe. But if you stay faithful Jeezus is going to spare you the pain of the great tribulation. It seems that fear keeps your god in business. I don’t stand a snowballs chance in hell( No pun intended ) of convincing you that you have been cunned by a 6,000 year plot to rule men of lesser brain efficiency.

To me common sense seems to dictate that during the black man’s stay here in America, if we ever attained anything positive it was taken from us. If we did something worthwhile it was downplayed and swept up under the rug. So in keeping with this pattern it seems sensible that the church is no good. Why you ask? Because it is in abundance. If it was really positive you can bet your ass we would not be allowed to even step foot in one. You must understand that things of worth are never seen in large amounts. Gold is valuable because of it’s rareness, you can’t find gold everywhere like you can find the church. If the church was really valuable you niggas would hate it , because you seem to always despise what is good for you. The church is like a spiritual McDonald’s. Spiritual fast food ,it taste good but it’s bad for ones health. I say again that the truth is never in abundance and it is never mainstream. Truth does not live in your church if it did we would not be on the brink of extinction. So now all of a sudden the black man is not being tricked, he is not being mislead, all of a sudden everything is just peachy ,huh. Only a nigga would believe this. I say unto you the game is still the same only the rules have changed only to make better slaves of you. But you can believe that the hell that you have been trying so hard to avoid is going to hit you like a bad case of diarrhea. On any street in America you can see dozens of churches just yards from each other. Churches as far as the eye can see. Be Ye not deceived by these houses of trickery. Crack is Abundant, Alcohol is abundant, Guns are abundant. And you cry about the many evils and vices that plague the inner city. And you look to the abundance of churches to counteract these ills, little do you know what the church is really used for.

Allow me to do some more Christian bashing, as I said before you all amuse me with your supernatural nonsense. Since you do not understand certain things or concepts, you get lazy and say that it is a miracle thus putting it all on your spook god. Since this is done no thought nor research is needed to understand what is going on because it is god’s will according to you. This is a punks way out it relieves you of all responsibility to find a logical , concrete conclusion. And your mythological god will do the work. Nothing is magic or supernatural! These terms exist because of ignorance and lack of information. When you don’t know how a thing came to be it is now a mystery or magic. But if you took the time to explore the unknown and find the answers, it would then become science. A prime example would be a magic show. The magician does a trick and you are fascinated by the illusion, thus you are ignorant of the science that it took to bring it about. So to you it is magic but to the magician it was a purely scientific venture. The same applies for your so-called religions. You are intrigued by the illusions of your mythical events that happened in the Bible. Yet you have not tried to decipher the riddles in the so-called holy book. Thus ignorance holds you in shackles.

But the Black Prophet knows better. I have done my homework on these topics, so all of it is scientific to me. I totally understand what I am dealing with. Allow me to tell a story to clarify my position.

When Babylon was a world power it used the same scare tactics that your church uses on you today. The priest would promise the rulers of the kingdom wealth and the total devotion of the peasant class people. The priest would go out and tell the poor masses that the god Baal was mad at them for not giving more money or cattle to the king. They would say you must support your king because the god Baal has raised the king up to be a ruler. And if they did not comply with the wishes of Baal , and support the kingdom. Baal would take the sun away and plunge the earth into total darkness. The people did not believe that such a thing could happen,. The peasants could not read or write so they were not too bright. Yet the priests and scribes as well as the astronomers who belonged to a secret order, were well versed in the sun , moon and stars. So the king as well as the priests knew of a solar eclipse that would take place later that week. And of course the peasant didn’t know a damn thing much like most of you jive ass church niggas in this day and age. The priests went back to the village later that week and had the timing of the eclipse down to the second, and stood in front of all the towns people and said " The great god Baal is angered at your disobedience and lack of faith, and sees fit to punish you with ever lasting darkness!" A couple of seconds later the sun was gone, the people were hysterical. For 60 seconds it was hell on earth. When the sun came back the priest told the people that Baal so loved his people that he would give them another chance to redeem themselves. Well I don’t have to tell you that the king was 3 times richer then he was a day ago. This is a prime example of how one man’s science is another man’s magic, and also how the ignorant are ruled so easily by those with knowledge. And the same fear mongering and scare tactics are still used today to get your money and devotion. Do your self a favor and be a man for once in your damn life. Nigga get off yo knees begging and pleading for god to do this and that for you. He already knows what your scary ass needs he is omnipotent fool !! Leave the fairy tales alone Buckwheat! Pay attention to reality for a minute and you might get somewhere in life . I am aware that most if not all of what I have said has gone over the head of the Christian fanatic. Yet this scroll is for people who still have 2 braincells to rub together.

I can understand the white man being in the Christian school of thought for it has served his imperialistic needs well. He has taken an originally African religion and turned it to a tool of European conquest. It serves much of his political needs. The Christian religion basically destroys other world cultures and makes people of that destroyed culture lambs to be lead to the slaughter. The Red Cross is a prime example. It goes to a country that is weak and starving for food and political stability and they tell the people of the gospel of Jesus while they at the same time feed them. Now what would you do if you were starving and some nice smiling white folk came to you with meat ,bread and water and they stated that all you have to do is come to church? The food basically converts these poor people, not any divine outpouring of the holy spirit. But then as soon as the natives totally trust the white missionaries after learning of a white god , the military moves in and wipes the people out. The people will do nothing they will think that it is the will of the great white father and sit idly by and watch their land and recourses get hi-jacked. Watch out for that good ol gospel drug !These tactics have been used on The African, the American Indian, The Hawaiian, The Eskimo and other peoples around the globe. Yet you niggaz refuse to see this trend . What will it take to wake you up? I can honestly say I don’t blame the white man for anything, as I have always said there are two kinds of people in the world. There are PLAYERS and those that get PLAYED. Now which one are you? You niggaz always talking about being a player and a Mack, but you don’t seem to see that you are the one really getting macked and played. The whiteman is a straight pimp, a true hustler, a real Mack. He got you niggaz in the church the very tool that was used to enslave yo dumb ass, he got you selling dope to your own people. He got you robbing and killing your own people. You niggaz are so quick to disrespect each other in the work place and most often you kiss white folks asses all day. NOW WHO IS THE MACK?!!! The first step to becoming a real Mack is to regain your culture. This situation brings to mind a old saying I once heard "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." SHAME ON ALL YOU TIRED ASS NIGGAZ!!

If you were to ask a typical black Christian "Do you believe in angels?" they will say "yes." If you ask them "Do you believe in aliens and U.F.O’s" they will say "No." They won’t know how stupid they sound or even that they have just contradicted themselves. Again a lack of additional information has made them out to be an idiot. Allow me to explain. The Bible speaks of angelic beings before the world was made, thus they have an origin that is not terrestrial, they are from another place. They did not originate here. Now an alien by definition is a being that is foreign to a place in which he resides. Meaning an alien is not from earth, just like the angels of the scripture. The Christian says " But angels live in heaven not in space." Again they make themselves into blubbering fools, because space is heaven. You stare at heaven every night when the stars illuminate the sky. Could it be that the Bible speaks of alien beings coming to earth from time to time to enlighten mortal man? Is this theory anymore ridiculous than the concept of little white babies with wings flying around on clouds and playing harps? Again another example of how one man’s science is another man’s magic. And thus showing that the Christian is not capable of rational thought. The difference between me and the Christian viewpoint is that I gathered and researched my information to come to my conclusion. The Christian most likely did not do a lick of study. His views are religious dogma that has been accepted as truth through the years. Although they have no concrete evidence to support or back their claims. A classic case of follow the leader. I started clean with no biases, because I AM not a religionist. Religion is a prison that cuts off ones access to new knowledge. Understand that if you are a Christian and you study Al Islam and you find some truth in it you will find all kinds of excuses not to accept it as truth because if Islam has truth somehow that makes Christianity wrong. The same goes for the Muslim who studies Christianity in depth. The bottom line is it’s all an ego thang. No one wants the humiliation of being wrong. The biased mind state prohibits real spiritual growth. The best thing one can do is shun saying that he is this or that, just tell them that you are seeking truth no matter where it may lye. The real question should be "Who are you?" not "What are you?" It’s funny watching my people say the whiteman this and the white man that, when they all have a picture of a white Jew hanging on the wall in the living room. And if you talk about that graven image of Jesus they will try and kick yo ass. They always talking about injustice and what the Caucasian has done to them. But they have adopted the Caucasian’s names, holiday’s and religion’s. You people are a joke. Quit crying like a ho, take charge of your destiny. Don’t wait for no spooks or angels to save yo black ass it ain’t gonna happen!!!!

I have done much talk about logic and the physical realm, yet I also acknowledge the spiritual aspect of creation. I had to say this in order to shut the mouth of the Christian who might say I am not going to understand spiritual things in my logical and rational mind. I full well know that in order to have total understanding of the world I live I must have knowledge of the spirit and the physical. Or you could say your two eyes make one vision. Take one eye away and you see little. One needs two eyes for one sight. when the Christian speaks of the term spirit, he in most cases does not know what he is talking about. He just parrots what the good ol Reverend Hambone says about the topic. So when they come too me with their lame rebuttals I must split their wigs. They claim that the only way to understand the word of Gawwd is to be in the spirit and I am lost because I don’t fall to the ground and speak gibberish as I foam at the mouth. I often break em off real proper. But still it is all in vain , their minds close like trap doors for fear of the plantation belief of hellfire. Now you mortals say the terms spiritual and physical . But I the Prophetic one choose to use the terms MATTER and ENERGY. For this is science and science is a process of analyzing your surroundings through deductive reasoning to attain understanding. Hold on to your sanity , I may get too deep for some of you chicken eating niggas! Please try and use both hemispheres of your brain(Right-Abstract, Left-Concrete)to understand what is being presented. Now most Christians talk about the spirit and claim that they know the Holy Spirit, so let’s explore what is being said. The word spirit means energy, energy is action , motion or vibration. All things have a spirit, or energy field(Electromagnetic),some would call it an Aura. Rocks plants, and people, all man made objects even emit a certain energy field that pulsates and or vibrates. Let’s break down the word spirit, it would seem that it is derived from the word SPIRAL. The spiral is the universal shape of energy in motion(YIN AND YANG). It means you have two opposing forces colliding to produce an effect. When a tornado forms it is due to hot and cold air currents colliding in the atmosphere in such a manner that a vortex of spinning air currents is the result. When lightening strikes is due to positive and negatively charged atoms clashing in the atmosphere producing electricity. when you want to cool off all one does is turn on the fan, the fan’s shape is spiral and when it turns it produces wind. Our very D.N.A is in the spiral shape, the spiral may even manifest as large as a galaxy. Have you ever seen a coil that is a spirald piece of metal that conducts energy. Or have you seen a spring, this si anothet piece of spirald metal used to store and release kinetic energy. The season called "Spring" in named such because of the life that it brings forth, spring is nature in motion or resurrection, and when life leaps from the earth.This concept was originally found and taught by the Egyptians. It is called Ankh theology. It is the oldest known science and religion known to man. All other religions have plagiarized and distorted the knowledge in the science of the Ankh. And your slave mentality won’t look to Egypt because master lied and told you that the Egyptians were an evil and pagan people. While you running from Egypt , the white man is learning all he can about our ancestors, the Egyptians.This nation was founded upon Egyptian science. Just go to Washington D.C and look at all the monuments built in the name of our presidents. IT IS EGYPTIAN ARCHITECTURE! Your Christian religion is based on Egyptian folklore. As I said about the spirit awhile ago it becomes matter of physical at a certain slowed rate of vibration. You could liken it too water in a freezer once the molecules slow down from the cooling effect of the freezer it then solidifies and becomes ice. Or you could go to the opposite side of the spectrum and heat the water so that it boils, then the water becomes a gas and thus it is intangible, due to the speeding up of the molecular structure. You are governed by the same laws, you are energy in a slow rate of vibration. Therefore you are matter, but something must animate the physical, that is where the energy comes in. Matter and Energy are really the same thing just two opposite ends of a line. All things are energy personified in a state of flux so everything has a spirit, do not confuse spirit and soul. Soul is what makes you conscious or aware of your own existence. Most of you Christians don’t know the difference between the two concepts.

When the Bible and Quran speak of the 7th heaven , it is speaking of the 7th vibratory rate of energy. Your Christian mysticism has you thinking about the 7 floors in Jehovah’s mansion that all mankind will live in once we die. Are you really this stupid? You Negroes accept these imitation religions when they copied your original concept of religion. What a joke you people are! You belong and adhere to everybody else’s religions but you won’t pay heed to the original one that sparked them all, and your ancestors cultivated it you nit-wit.

White folks don’t have this problem, they basically have the same culture and belief system. And the real powerful whites do not take seriously the myths that you fear so much. That is why they grow in power. They are not concerned with spooks coming from the sky to punish the wicked. They know that these stories are symbolic to far deeper subject matter. Yet they teach them to you to keep you in check. And while me and you bicker about who is the Messiah is or who has the right religion and who is the greatest prophet. They are paying attention to REALITY and robbing you blind while your head is in the sky. How else do you explain a race of people who are 1/5 the worlds population controlling the whole world, while the other 4/5 (black) has nothing. Some would say they are smarter than us, let us not confuse smart and ruthless. I would say they are ruthless due to fact they have stolen vital knowledge of universal law and erased it from your mind to make you seem stupid. They are ruthless because they know the truth behind the fables you call scripture. They help to reinforce this superstitious nonsense every chance they get. Again that is why they make a black church so easy to build and finance. They make sure it is on every block to further make you immune to reality. If you combine drugs, liquor, guns, media, school and church we don’t have much hope for the future. If I may be so bold to recommend a small book that summarizes alot of what I have said, it is called "The New World Order" and it’s implications for African and third world survival authored by Batu A Shakari.

It is small enough for even the most unscholarly half-wit to finish, we all know Negroes hate books. If you can’t finish a book that consist of 40 pages, then the white man had done his job well. This is a book for the laymen yet it say it all. I am done dogging out the pea-brained black man who thinks like the white. I am done, yet we all have just begun to see hell manifest itself. You will soon see death and destruction on a scale unimaginable, you will wait for a fairy tale solution. And when it does not come you will ask yourself, how could a man fall for such nonsense? It is simple, a real man won’t fall. He will stand on truth not a belief. See you all in hell, but I will be drinking ice tea. Will you?

The most Vicious animal on the planet is a white male?

(White-man-entitlement syndrome.)
White men are the most hated people on earth. They’re just upset because the so called American Government are taking away some of their jobs. And they hate the Pale Arabs because they will not just give up the so called Middle East to them. White males feel it is their God-given right to dominate the earth!
But let’s talk about it. Middle-class white boys take up guns -- while their hands-off parents sleep -- because of their fundamental disappointment over the failure of their white entitlement.That`s right. It’s tantamount to seeing a white child melting down in a store while the parent either ignores the tantrum or reasons with the child. It’s about a white boy not getting his way. You can call it being bullied, outcast, disenfranchised, not picked for the team or getting dissed by the prettiest girl on campus. Whatever. White boys were conditioned and will continue to be conditioned to believe that whatever they desire they can acquire, and when the bottom falls out they plot.

Why do some white men desperately crave black Women? They can come to Black Planet, Black people meet, and Black Voices and they do not care how many Black men are on these sites, they feel that they are entitle to black women.

Could there possibly be a game more blatantly racist than chess?
Look at the very beginning. White moves first, thereby taking the offensive; Black must wait for White’s first move, and then must defend against it. Of course, you can always change the rules, but then it wouldn’t be chess, would it?

Dr. Naim Akbar in his book The Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery states:

The person, who looks up and sees his physical characteristics shared by his deity, begins to develop the idea that he is exactly like God, or that God is like him. This is all right if one sees potential for growth in the idea. The confusion of the physical attributes with the very nature of God begins to make the person feel that his particular physical features have endowed him with automatic divinity.

Images found in religions send subliminal messages of inferiority to Black people. Christian icons of the White God image have had a debilitating subconscious effect on the minds of the people of the African Diaspora. The image of God as white nurtures the subconscious belief that the White person is born to be the supreme leader.

Why are so many young black people so in love with Baby Phat, Rocawear, Timerlands, and Ecko Red Ghetto brands aka urban clothes? Their called urban clothing not ghetto clothing. But young people could care less, because they have been taught to dress to impress.
They could also care less that the foot wear called Timerlands has a tree for a symbol. I qoute the KKK "There a black for every tree, and a tree for every black."

With All Due Respect, Mrs. King Failed.

Coretta Scott King failed. In important areas surrounding image and continued political legacy Mrs. King, like all those who worked with Dr. King then (in reality or by claim alone) or those who, like me, claimto follow his work today, failed. Much has been said recently about Mrs. King being her husband`s backbone, carrier of his legacy and a continuing symbol of his work. When the unelected and illegally appointed President referenced her recently he ultimately made my point for me. Bush said, "Mrs. King was a remarkable and courageous woman, and a great civil rights leader. She carried on the legacy of her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including through her extraordinary work at the King Center. Mrs. King`s lasting contributions to freedom and equality havemade America a better and more compassionate nation."

The King Center? The shambles of a building whose very existence is up for grabs right now as one King son (Dexter) seeks to sell it to the Federal Government for $30 million against the wishes of Martin King, III and Bernice? The two are threatening to take Dexter to court over this. How has Coretta or anyone else (including myself) done at protecting, improving and promoting such an important institution? Not well. Clearly we have failed there. But let’s not stop there.

Check, among other sources, the recent reports on the State of [King’s] Dream 2004/2005 (United for a Fair Economy) and notice how Black America has, since his assassination, gone backwards in terms of income, housing, healthcare, home ownership, employment and incarceration. King’s political legacy is his unwavering challenge and criticism of the real axis or “triplets” of evil as he called them: militarism, racism and materialism (i.e. capitalism). His legacy is the calling out of the fakery of White liberals, the continuing White supremacy whose “logical conclusion” he said is “genocide,” or his attempts to make those “who make slums” be held “responsible.” His legacy is to be found in FBI CounterIntelligence Program statements calling King a “threat” to be monitored in case he should ever “abandon” a “loyalty” to White liberalism and “non-violence.” That very few people know this about King is a direct result of the inability of even his own widow to popularize the real King, his real goals and the real people and their real reasons for killing him. She, like those who claim him (myself included) has absolutely failed in promoting the real life and work of her husband to the very people who need more than anyone else to know.

The wreckage that continues to be the King legacy and popular image is my own, yours and Coretta’s failure. Memories of this woman need to reflect this reality. We are devolving as a people, a nation, a global community and King’s legacy continues to go unfulfilled as we wash him away underneath partial images of “I have a dream,” the dream he himself would eventually call a “nightmare.” My preferred method of honoring the dead is to use their life’s example to critique both theirs and my own failure to bring about a world desired by the people we claim we honor.
