THE 4TH... FREEDOM

 Peace/Blessings, 

"...If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters.

The struggle may be a moral one or it may be a physical one, or it may both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will. 

Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress..." 

Fredrick Douglass

STOP looking for SOMEONE 2 save YOU...

There is NO mystery GOD in the sky that will Swoop down to SAVE You...

The GOD energy is Within YOU...RE-CONNECT & Manifest your FREEDOM...

GO BACK & RE-READ THE ABOVE PASSAGE & PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION 2 THE LAST PARAGRAPH...

COMMENTARY - SUPREME COURT IMMUNITY RULING - RAMIFICATIONS

Peace/Blessings,
ITS THE DUTY OF A CIVILIZED MAN TO TEACH...EDUCATE...
Today the Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Trump was immune from any actions that he enacted as President...& OR will be if reelected as President
HISTORICALLY...
Under Republican Presidents Bush (the 1st), Bush (the 2nd) and Trump, when they left office, they left America in tremendous debt...
CONVERSELY
Under Democratic Presidents Clinton and Obama, when they left office, they did so leaving their Republican successors with a SURPLUS...Mr. Biden is on track to CLEANING up Mr. Trump's tenure in office...(SEE BELOW)
TRUMP
Under Mr. Trump, the National Debt rose by $7.8 Trillion (THIS WAS HAPPENING PRE-COVID)...He was dubbed the 'King of Debt'...This is nearly twice the debt that President Biden has created so far...
So NO Mr. Trump was not good for the economy and NO we were not better off...
The above would be consistent actions of a person who has had 6 Bankruptcies...
UNDER Mr. Trump, Hate Crimes rose exponentially...ESPECIALLY against 'Black' people.. (Research FBI report)
IF RE-ELECTED
It is documented that if Mr. Trump is reelected, the following WILL take place...SOME ARE ALREADY TAKING PLACE (influenced by Mr. Trump -(Supreme Court), legislators and organizations that support Mr. Trump...
-Women's Reproductive Rights Reversal (Roe v. Wade)
(Having Legislators (State) be the decision makers versus a Woman and her Physician)...WHO PROTECTS WOMEN FROM THE STATES?
-Project 2025...
-Dismantling of the Dept. of Education
-Civil Rights protections
-Employment Protections
(SPECIFICALLY, IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR/WOMAN/PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED, etc., THE PROTECTIONS THAT YOU CURRENTLY ENJOY, WILL SYSTEMATICALLY BE ERODED)-Included would also be just recognition for Promotions/Advancement/Equal Pay for same job responsibilities
-Attack of the FEARLESS FUND (Investment in women of color lead businesses)
-Elimination of Academic Scholarships marked for Minorites (ALREADY HAPPENING)
The stage is being set to have Mr. Trump become a DICTATOR (See Immunity ruling)...
BIDEN
I've been asked what has President Biden done in office? I've been told that his time in office has been trash...I've been told that he should have been been seen more and that he is just too old...
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
-The Infrastructure Act (2021) - Bipartisan
Highlights
roads, bridges, and major projects;
passenger and freight rail;
highway and pedestrian safety;
public transit;
broadband;
ports and waterways;
airports;
water infrastructure;

clean school buses and ferries;
electric vehicle charging;
addressing legacy pollution by cleaning up Brownfield and Superfund sites and reclaiming abandoned mines; and
Western Water Infrastructure.
(IF YOU'RE NOT SEEING THIS IN YOUR STATE, CHECK YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES...THEY MAY BE SLOWING THE PROCESS FOR POLITICAL REASONS)
-The Anti-Lynching Law (Emmett Till)
-Excusing of Student Loan Debt
-Increased funding to HBCUs
-Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that temporarily established expanded unemployment insurance and sent $1,400 stimulus checks to most Americans in response to continued economic pressure from COVID-19.
-Executive Orders Protecting Reproductive Rights
-Climate and Environmental Policies
-More people are at work than any time in American History
-The 1st meaningful Gun Violence reduction legislation in 30 years
-Making more products in America
-More people with Health Insurance
-Lowered seniors’ health care expenses, including by capping out of pocket expenses on prescription drugs for seniors at $2,000 per year, ensuring that people enrolled in Medicare will not pay more than $35 for a month’s supply of insulin, and recipients will receive free vaccines
-The stock market has been more favorable to the Biden Presidency than Mr. Trump's
THIS ELECTION is NOT just about the Presidency...It's also about JUDGES and LEGISLATORS (Federal/State/Local)...It's about our Families/Communities
WITH THE ABOVE INFORMATION, IF ONE IS STILL INCLINED TO VOTE FOR MR. TRUMP OR NOT VOTE AT ALL, YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT YOU DO NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY (See Hate Crimes) and that CONSCIOUSLY/SUBCONSCIOUSLY) that you do not care for POSITIVE growth of this COUNTRY...
ADDITIONALLY, you are SAYING THAT YOU ARE READY TO GIVE UP THE liberties that you've enjoyed & COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN...
It's a duty of a CIVILIZED man to Teach/Educate...Hotep

JUNETEENTH 2024

Peace/Blessings,

JUNETEENTH

No One can give you freedom...No One freed Americanized Africans...Our freedom was earned and acquired by the acts of countless people, most notably Americanized Africans...If one can give a person freedom, they can take it back...

Abraham Lincoln formalized that which was already energy in motion...

WHAT Constructive Acts of Freedom are we doing to maintain and grow our Freedom?

I am continuing to Spiritually, Mentally and Physically educate myself in harmony with the U-n-I-Verse in conjunction with our ancestors...& Educate the Babies (& those who are young in the spirit) in the knowledge of self...

OPAL LEE

Ms. Lee is considered the Grandmother of Juneteenth...When she was 12 years old, a mob of 'White' people came to her parents' home, forced the family outside, trashed their belongings and burned the home to the ground...

As we defend those around the World against Terrorism, enough is not being done to addressed the 'Domestic' Terrorism that Americanized Africans have to endured...

CONTEXT- 

H.R. 4- John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 - There has been 2 roll call votes - Passed the House, not enough votes in the Senate...Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema opposed the act...

The terrorism that not only comes physically, but also Economically, Educationally, within Entertainment, Politically, in Labor, Law, Religion, Sex & War...

On this day, learn about Ms. Opal Lee, who is still alive at 97 years old...Hotep

TUSKEEGEE AIRMEN

 Peace/Blessings, 

The only limits are that which we place upon self...

A few moons ago one of my Defiant Brothas   interviewed some surviving Tuskeegee Airmen...

These men fought in World War II under extreme Racism...

Their abilities/service garnered them many decorations and a military record that has not been duplicated...

Their missions were to be flying escorts of US bomber planes into enemy terroritories... 

Their record....Every plane that they escorted ALWAYS made it back safely....Even at the expense of losing their own lives...

They had a motto, which I'll ALWAYS remember...Tapping into the ancestors...

"IF IT'S DIFFICULT, DO IT IMMEDIATELY...

IF IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, JUST TAKE A LITTLE TIME."

I tell my students that the IMPOSSIBLE is just something you haven't physically seen...YET...

EVOLUTION 2024

 Peace/Blessings,

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, among the multiple definitions, I will use the following 2 for

Evolution...

1. : a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state : GROWTH

2.: a process of gradual and relatively peaceful social, political, and economic advance

In order to properly analyze if we have evolved as humans, we must include all of the civilizations that preceeded us.  

Not just the ones that fit the narrative supporting our current ideology.

For example, 

-Have we evolved in medicine beyond Imhotep and the Kemetic medicine/science?

- Have we evolved beyond the science/mathematics of the ancient African Pyramid builders in which we still can't explain how the Great Pyramid of Giza was built? 

-Have we evolved beyond the astrological knowledge/science of the Dogon people who understood the connection between the Universe and themselves? 

- Have we evolved when we are divided over skin pigmentation, gender and class?  When we can justify murder on the Local, Country & Global levels and not provide/implement solutions to stop the killing. 

A: Selling poison to eachother by drugs, verbally or imagery (Can't knock the hustle...right? )

B: Senseless killing for land, political or religious ideologies. 

C: Oppression/Suppression of others due to One's own inadequacies.

To claim evolved status,  proper analysis MUST be conducted. 

As a guide,  EDUCATION must be the priority... Starting with Knowledge of self, within or in Harmony with the Universal Self...

VOTING ...POLITICS

If voting was/is not important...If one's vote doesn't matter, than what's the reason millions of dollars & effort are spent to obstruct, suppress & discourage people from voting? 

It is not enough 2 just vote...What action are you doing 2 hold the politicians accountable? 

Local, State & Federal...

There are 9 major people activities...

Education, Economics, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Religion, Politics, Sex & War...

We are affected by them regardless of one's apathy/ignorance/understanding...We are participants regardless of action or inaction...

Politics are at least, two part, in nature...Politicians are elected & They should be held accountable by the people...

Those who have this understanding, are the ones who have their needs met.. 

NO the Democratic & Republican parties are not the same...Do the knowledge, manifest discernment & gain Understanding...

School boards/districts/schools, education material, Judges, policing, medical benefits/facilities,  women's rights to control their bodies, voting rights, resources allocated, quality of food,  etc...are ALL affected by elected officials...

If your neighborhood is under resourced, who did you vote  into office AND what did you do to hold them accountable?  AND were the same politicians reelected?

Do the knowledge to the 2025 Project...

NATURE VS. NURTURE

 Things that make Ya Say Hmmm...

Years ago when our ancestors "Went up North", they went 2 Freedom...

Today, it means going 2 Bondage (Jail)...

ANALOGY 

Many argue/concede that today's NBA players are better than their predecessors due to their skill set (availability to better technolgy/training/conditioning) ...I present that with the consistent display of low basketball IQ, the current players are not better than their predecessors...Being physically better, without the accompanying mental, renders one lacking in their full potential...

FOLLOW ME

Let's examine my 1st statement...

Today, we have better technology/training (education)/environment than our ancestors did during Chattel Slavery, yet we wear (celebrate) being put in Bondage as a badge of honor...Rite of passage...

Like the Bball Question, "Are we smarter (better) today than our ancestors? "

My people & I are solution based...

My Brotha Monwasha Edu posted a lesson regarding relationships, specifically African (Black) Love...Nature vs. Nurture

I'll pull from it to close my point...

Our Ancestors that sought Freedom were in Harmony with their Nature (African) & used said Nature as their foundation of their culture...The culture that valued Freedom & Education among other things...Respecting & Drawing from those who came before them...

In short, to reach the heights that we say we want...To maximize our FULL Being, we must be in Harmony with our NATURE to break the NURTURE of over 400+ years...
