BLACK HISTORY...The Misnomer


King James Bible

Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

“Hmmm...Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...Not for a fuuunnneralll, it’s tiiime for the Black Man and Black Woman, to resurrect our dead Black mindsss and reclaim ourselves to be a reflection of God once againnnn...” by Malik Shabazz, Defiant Giants - ‘Raise the Dead’

“So you wanna be a Negro, Bourgeois, Middle Class hero
 survey said, zero
Ya dead, decease, R.I.P. rest in pain, not peace
 cuz peace you have yet to reach
Ya see, Negro comes from the word Necros
 meaning dead, lifeless, comatose
Carrying the name of a corpse
 ya nothin but a Zombie, not a force, but a work horse
Calmly existing from day to day
 got a head stone, tryna make headway
Take off your slave clothes and grave wear
 face the East and say prayer
Erase ya fear
 then ya almost there
Next stage is ta raise your conscious
 accept the truth and reject the nonsense
Free ya mind and your body ain’t far behind
 back to life, back to divine...Resurrection”
 by Mercurator T.P.S., Defiant Giants - ‘Raise the Dead’

            Deaf - You don’t hear the Truth
            Dumb - You don’t manifest the Truth
            Blind - You can’t see the Truth
            When you lost in North America...

Peace and Greetings All,

I pray all is well with each of you.  There’s a quiz that one of my mentors used to conduct during ‘Black’ History month with the youth (Middle School through High School)…

Mentor:           “Where do Black People come from?”
Students:         “Africa”
Mentor:           “No, Africans come from Africa, where do Black People come from?”
Students:         Silence takes over the room
Mentor:           “Where do Italians come from?”
Students:         “Italy”
Mentor:           “Where do Polish People come from?”
Students:         “Poland”
Mentor:           “Where do Black People come from?”
Students:         “America…Ah, their parents…Ah, God…”
Mentor:           “It’s interesting that you know where others come from, but not yourself…& there’s no such place as Blackland”

The purpose of the quiz was to start the discussion about the importance of knowing thyself.
Also, it was used to educate that every group of people identify or originate from a land mass.
Lastly, it was used to start to lay the foundation for the term African Diaspora (the connection of
Africans, regardless of birth place, to each other all over the World).

I think a PSA is needed at this point. We who are citizens of the United States of America and those who want to be citizens of this country should respect its Laws and symbolism. The question I ask to my Christian Brethren is shall that extend to Pledging Allegiance to said symbolism?
When will we make a pledge to ourselves to truly be in allegiance with the Creator, God, Allah, Buddah, the Universe, the Awareness, etc.?
When will we apply the aforementioned definitions to self to be in harmony with the Universal Self?
When will we align our individual Spirit, Mind and Bodies with the Universe to realize our individual Uniqueness/Greatness in order to appreciate others’ Uniqueness/Greatness?
Question...
How is it that one would pledge allegiance to a Flag (Symbol/False Idol) of a country, but not pledge allegiance to the Creator that dwells within citizens of said country that are being killed by authorities?  When I say pledge allegiance in this case, I speak to the correction of said injustice or support for those who seek to correct said injustice...Hmmm...Interesting...
I offer…

The Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to God, the Essence of ALL creation…And to His righteousness for which he stands.  One Hue-man Family, superseding Ethnicity and Political boundaries, Respecting Diversity in Worship with Truth and Justice for All…God Bless the World…

Bluish is the Flame!


                                                    


I’m ya guiding light, shining bright
 Original man, lead ya right
From the day I was form, beast was torn
 g.o.d. in the flesh, Genesis has born
Resurrection, from present state
 Devil’s in-affect G, clock’n fates
Follow’n all his demonic ways
 paganism wit righteous holidays?
Parading round da Phallic so big and white
 no other building taller be code he’ll site
Oh monument, symbol of this land
 take another look, hooded Klan
Annihilation, of genetic kind
 be why, body, soul & mind
Thinking Iblis is underneath the ground
 be right in ya face, jus look around
Before we go, need to check the time
 divinely incline throughout the rhyme
In fact, we’re gods believe this
 doubts? Check Psalms 82:6...
