women section 12-30-11

understanding the greatness of african women! the beautiful, the brave, the bold!
you are everything that has been and what is to come. sisters we are at a critical point in african- american society and culture. understanding your greatness as mothers, aunts, sisters, and grandmothers etc! your greatness and strength has held our families together since the began of time the family structure has and always will be heavily depended on you. i know this can be a daunting task but you are the elect of GOD! GOD chose you to be the mother and care giver of us all! where would we be as people without you? how can we go forward as a people without you return to your official position, as great mother! you are the glue that holds are people together.

your greatness is known thought- out the world. your action are recorded in every holy book ever printed as mother of horus (heru), mother of jesus, mother of john the baptist we appreciate the strong and passionate son you have birth and raised! this is a special relationship that has existed since the began of time. from these relationships the world has been reshaped!

all those women in the holy bible, holy quran and torah are african women this is your history! please do not let others fool you into believing that this not you and your people.

prison is a business

private prison companies have been contracted by the federal government to hold illegal immigrants. some immigrants are held more then a year before being deported back to mexico. these holding facilities are know as detention center which are placed all over united states. the reason given for holding these people is that there identities are being ran through the central data base. but if they are not from this country what data base would they be in? while they are being held, all this at the expense of the tax payer! which is about 1.5 billion annually! companies like (c.c.a.) correction corporation of america who lobby politician for these contracts that are highly profitable so much that they trade publicly on the stock market. they also donate money to organization whom promote deporting illegal immigrants back, because that's not only a tax write- off for them but also promotes the interest of c.c.a. with out them being directly involved. we need to support these so called illegal immigrants because they are suffering in the same way are ancestors from africa suffered!  please look into these issues closely before we pass judgement and vote on them!

understanding the new jim crow

understanding the new jim crow is a issue that is very big! this will be a attempt to break down this complex system of mass incarceration and who the players are and their roles within the system.
the first player in this complex system of mass incarceration is you! you must understand what role you play, the problem with most of us is selfishness as african- american and other minorities we all ready know law enforcement  agency target us. therefore the least we could do is get a understanding of laws and the legal system. but what makes us selfish is that we are not concerned about the law until it comes knocking at your door or the door of some one you love, which is usually after the fact! we are going to have to be proactive and preventive if we want to save our community and especially are young people. we are going to have to discipline our children and make them understand why they are being discipline before the law gets them because they show no mercy!
this will be a common topic on this blog!!! {the new jim crow} as we go into the new year and the presidential race heats up in 2012 you will hear the tough on crime campaign slogan over and over. but what does that really mean?
politicians commonly use this slogan in their campaign.
this means, you guest it they will be targeting certain groups of mostly minorities. this in short is how they may target get tough on crime slogan. they play on emotion (fear), imagery and numbers. first they play on fear everyone wants to be safe along with their love ones. so they say we are going to clean up the streets and get rid of crime. but by all accounts crimes rates have already drop to new lows but mass incarceration is steady going up! the crime most committed in the united states is some sort sexual assault- rape, child-porn and sexual harassment by white men! but these case hardly go any where in the judicial process and when pursued very light sentences are given out. imagery is a big part of the problem also, when you think of a drug dealer you think of a black male! there are black drug dealers, but people by drugs in their own community so who sales to young white people who live in the suburbs or in rural farming area? where there are few black men. everyone knows it but does not speak on it cause it so sad, all the drug activity that goes on at college and university campus all over the united states. by all accounts there are very few black men of participate in any higher education activities of any kind. so who are the drug dealers in this areas?
next the numbers game, this is the part of that complex system that is truly complex! so politicians say crime is down twenty- percent (20%) from four (4)  years ago when i took office but they only targeted crimes that african- americans and other minorities committed not crime over all.
in all actuality white- collar crimes committed by whites have a bigger impact then some crimes committed by blacks. like embezzlement which can collapse a company, and cause job lost then which can hurt the tax base of that community. {ask the people at enron} or the those child victim of child porn they basically never really get it together as you could imagine but years if not a life time of counseling, how big of bill is that and who pays for it?
so please get involved with the law making process and bills that are passed in your community.

is this christmas?

the discussion of where christmas came from has been coming up alot lately. i purposely waited until after christmas to discuss this topic. it is very much a pagan holiday. we will examine many of the practices associated with christmas.
christmas actually means christ / mass.

the date is suppose to be the roman winter solstice called saturnalia or bruma, dec 25th, the actually date of jesus birthday is unknown or not acknowledge by western christian. the christmas-tree comes from the druid-priesthood in europe. they believe that evergreen trees had magical power because they stayed green when all other trees seem to die or lose their leaves during winter. the mistletoe has a odd role in christmas. the actual plant itself is a parasitic-plant which means it lives off other plants or trees. some say that it was used for or has aphrodisiac powers? which is why you kiss under the mistletoe. but that still seems odd for celebrity jesus christ birthday. the yule log also called the chocolate log in scandinavia. which is sort of a sacrifice of the evergreen tree. the gift giving in ancient times comes from the roman pagan holiday of saturnalia with is associated with saturn. in modern times from cola- cola promoting its ginger- ale drink. santa claus is a western figure found though-out europe. there are many association with santa claus st.nick, odin,and st. basil of caeserea, from looks to actions and practices.

none of these ideas or practices as you can see had very little or nothing at all to do with jesus christ. now much of our economy is driven by christmas holiday sales this is really sad! as i remember jesus, he was a very humble man and cared very little for material things. we have really lost are way! or do we really care as long as we get something for christmas?

mastering duality

the purpose of mastering duality is to bring about a natural balance to self and surrounding. but lets look at duality which is a.k.a. dualism. duality is polar opposites like north and south poles which gets its name from polar.

humility & pride:
humility- the condition of being humble
pride- a high, or the superiority of ones self opinion of self
balance point: to know self is not lower or higher then others, this is done mostly through material goods, ones possession!

forgiveness & grudge:
forgiveness- the act or willingness to forgive
grudge- the feeling of ill will or to hold resentment
balance point: to let go, release negativity do not hold, its like fire it consumes everything in its path including self, thus transforming self to become what you hated most!  

vulnerability & protectiveness:
vulnerability- capable of or susceptible to being wounded or hurt
protectiveness- the function of protecting
balance point: these two (2) points are one in the same? if you do to much of one you automatically do the other!
tip: this one needs a example because its so common for people who do it, they over look it. {dealing with love}
example: look at definition, {capable of} protectiveness that goes to far makes you reject others most beautiful thoughts and action, nobody likes rejection! 

these points may help us in our everyday relationship with each other

life princples

principles are rules by which we govern ourselves and the universe we are in. these rules are truth, balance, order, law, morality, justice. by following these rules they help keep our lives from falling into chaos. lets examine each rule to unlock its full potential.

truth- a verified or indisputable fact, the fundamental base of all relationship between people, god,  etc:
balance- mental steadiness or emotional stability; a habit of calm behavior, judgement etc:
order- a condition in which each thing is properly disposed with reference to other things and to its purpose; the methodical or harmonious arrangement.
law- the system of rules by which one behaves within the universe
morality- moral instruction; a lesson, precept, discourse or utterance
justice- conformity to this principle, of having just conduct, dealing or treatment of others etc:

these principles are absorbed internally not project outwardly. they grow from within once they have rooted in ones heart and mind from there they will automatically manifest outwardly!

therefore letting your subconscious rule the conscious state of mind!

class tue. 12-20-12

tonite class was very good we discuss love? is that in general or is that specific? or what does that mean in a relationship? one young lady said we should love each other like we love GOD! because we all come from GOD! what do you think?
does past relationship hinder new ones? one young man said that it does in way? what do you think? how much of the past do we take with us? is truly foolish to deal with people, from the point of view that you and them start total fresh without the past! i said, i think each person should be dealt with on their own merit! not the past of you and another person..
simply love is like the lottery! you got be in it to win! the more you in the better chance you have at winning!
so play your hunch and win bunch! lol
good luck in love and life!

is washington d.c. african in origin/ study lesson 12-18-11

first we must look at the man who design the city. it was an african- american named benjamin banneker. he was the chief architect, under his direction there were many free and enslaved african- americans who help builded the city. so we have african people designing and building the city.
now we will look at some of the landmarks in washington d.c. starting with the white house, how did that name come about? in ancient egypt the great pymraid had white limestone covering it, therefore it being the phoraoh house of rest they called it the white house! the second landmark is the washington monument it is really called a tekhen (egyptian) or (obelisk- greek). which stands in front of a pool of water. the tekhen at the temple of karnak, egypt stood in front of the mirror pool of water. the city is built on a meridian line (16th street) the prime street. in ancient egypt all structures were built on meridian lines. this is not common in building. there is a masonic temple which is also egyptian in origin but the temple has a step pymraid on top of it which is egyptian in origin also. there are two sphinx's in front of the masonic temple. there are many resemblances to ancient egypt in many of the structures and art work. the lincoln memorial is a direct copy of ramesses II at abu simbel, egypt. over most memorial door-ways like the george washington memorial there is a wing- disk (the sun) with a cobra coming out of it repersenting egyptian royalty and the doors are extremely large like those in ancient egypt.

research for self, share info with children, let them know of the presents here in american and that african people did many great things here!

a word of love

the world needs more love! do your part tell some one today you love them, tell many as you can!
 tell anybody you love them, but especially the people in your everyday life reinforce that bond with them. some people feel that love is to strong of a word, it is, thats why it should be a common word among us because of the simple fact it is strong! it moves people giving them joy within. so be a vessel of hope to others tell them you love them.
let us not grow weary while doing good, for at the proper time we will reap harvest if we do not give up!
galatians 6:9

media effects

today i talk with a group of smart and beautiful young people, about medias effect on society.
we discuss syndication and what that means. syndicate pertains to any media outlet rather its radio, television, movies, or newspaper and magazine. syndication is a self organizing group of individuals, companies, or entities form to transact some specific business, or to PROMOTE A COMMON INTEREST!
basically syndicate media controls what you see, hear and learn about.
example of syndicated television companies are c.b.s.- columbia broadcasting company, a.b.c & n.b.c etc: radio syndicated companies are radio-one, hughes broadcasting and c.b.s etc: cable companies are fox corp, tv-one and msnbc etc: music companies are the major distributors  atlantic, virgin, and sony etc:. movie companies distributors are columbia, mgm and universal etc:  
ultimately this effects what you think, feel, say & most importantly what you buy! basically making you and yours a slave to their cause!
they want to keep you spiritually poor (music calling each other niggas, bi**hes and hoes) and you wonder why you are sad or feel depressed all the time do you really hear what you are listening to! mentally poor the programs you watch on television and cable have no mental value (making you think) everything funny! poor financially this is what you really feeling because you do not have to think to know you are poor and feels like you never are getting ahead in life. that's called being a slave to DEBT!
this is what the lecture was on, maybe you need to look at self, before talking about this topic to your young people, would not want you to look like a hypocrite!
love you all! lets get it together people!

class topic

today's class we got off the topic:
we discuss the complex theory called simulation / simulacrum? it is applied to many things but best used in the media everyday, the art of mixing, distorting and simulating the real with the unreal to create a state of confusion within the mind. better know as postmodernism.
book by: jean baudrillard, simulation / simulacrum 

women section 11- 11- 12

where are black women in history? first lets look at self! there are very few modern black women who embrace afrocentric culture. this makes it very easy for anyone to erase you from the pages of history. if it is not important to you, how could it be to others? you embrace others culture so strongly while throwing your away!

example: mothers day- mothers day in america, largely came out of the woman suffrage movement. it took almost (40) forty years for american society to adopt it as a holiday. this is due to the oppression of women in european culture as second class citizens or in some case not a citizen at all!

in contrast to african culture which is largely dominated by women with mostly all holidays be specified to women or for women. there was no women suffrage in africa until the invasion of europeans. if you would celebrate your own culture it would give you great pride and self- esteem! simply said, "there is no african culture without black women period"! they had the most and largest amount of contribution to our society.

so where are the beautiful black faces in history? the most celebrated woman of beauty in history is a black women, nerfertiti. in the court system you see the blind-lady-of- justice she is a black women (maat- egyptian goddess of truth & justice). statue of freedom on top of the u.s. capital building is a black women, cast by slave philp reid. andromeda in the movie "clash of titans" in greek mythology is a black ethiopian princesses, if it is all myth and no truth to it why is there a star galaxy named after her? medea (not tyler perry) andromeda niece princess of colchis (was originally black egyptians) whom helped jason and the argonauts find the golden fleece in greek mythology. mary mother of jesus is a black woman (shrine of the black madonna). in detroit there is a church and book store that bares her name on livernois ave.

i hope you share this information with the women you know after you research for self first! especially are baby girls they need to grow up proud of who they are. thank you! love you all! the beautiful ones!

study lesson 12- 11- 11

study lesson are for the purpose of truth!  anything posted can be commented on if you feel it is not! ENJOY!

today's topic will be simple, for the sake of miss-education. the alphabet? in school we are taught that alphabet comes from the first (2) two letters of the greek alphabet, alpha & beta. this is completely false! alpha & beta come from the phoenician alphabet! which is a african people?

so who are the phoenicians? they are AFRICANS! noah of the (3) three main religions judaism, christianity, islam. had a son named HAM, by all accounts ham is the father of african people, thus the name for black people is ha mites! ham had a son name canaan! if you remember not so long ago canaan, decedents were cursed, this was the excuse whites & arabs used to put africans into slavery! but before slavery canaan decedents thrived and had a large empire called the phoenician empire!which his decedents lived in modern day israel, syria and lebanon with their capitol named sidon after canaan first- born son! which is still there in present- day lebanon! they were mostly sea- merchants carrying goods from africa to eurasian.

now we get back to the alphabet, the phoenician taught the greeks how to count and write! so that they could trade with them and do business. both the greeks and phoenicians work for the egyptians and cushite kings & queens, yes QUEENS! (that's another lesson). so if you study linguistics, which is the study of language. you will see many core words in language and speech that come from phoenicia!
words like: phonetic (which mean sound), phonetic alphabet, phonetic spelling, phonics and even phone! 
 PLEASE, you and your children and young people examine and research information! THANK YOU!

our school system

do our school system serve our children? when talking to young people, asking them why they do not like school or why did they drop out, they are all saying the same thing, its boring or we are not learning anything! they are absolutely correct! what they mean is that all they learn about is greeks and romans! people that look like them did nothing in the history of the world! but no matter if you send your child to public, charter or private school if they do not learn anything about people like them their education is useless. everybody wants to feel good about themselves and the people they look like and belong to! we as parents must challenge the school board in bring more diverse culture learning into the class room! we as parents must teach our children the fundamentals, this is not the teachers job! we must work with the teachers they are on our side, it is the school board and district that are not on our side! please go to school board meetings in your area ask questions those are your tax dollars paying their salaries! strong schools build strong communities!
my study lesson section will be for young people but all people can learn something new!

women section

in our african studies we find the position of the black women differing greatly from the position of the black women of today? this mostly is due to the lack of self knowledge of your great past! this topic will deal with the position or place of the black woman in society.
lets start first by placing you in your proper position or place! as the first elect of the creator! you are everything that is and everything that will be! you are the elect of the creator because you are the vessel of life, all life on earth came from your womb! therefore you hold the highest title on earth Queen- Mother! (example: Queen Elizabeth holds the highest title, she is the richest woman and largest land owner in the world.)
this position of motherhood originated with Isis (Greek name) Auset (African name) she is the first mother! she is worshipped all over the world to this day! Isis, shrine of the black Madonna, Mary- mother of Jesus!
the next or second position or place of the black women is wife! Auset (african name) is the original first lady! black women have been worshiped and praised for their inner- qualities for ages! all men of all races want her for a wife because of her humble, meek and intellectual qualities, along with her outstanding beauty!
(example: outstanding wife and mothers, Nefertiti- wife of Akhenaten, mother of King Tut. her nick- name{lady of all women}Michelle Obama wife of President Obama, first black- first lady!!!

media effects on society

do we monitor what our children watch and listen to? many of us do not! companies and other powers that be, know this and use this to their advantage. we are swamp with entertainment in our culture, this is a old practice that is still being used to this day. what i mean is, in the roman empire there were many people that were unhappy for many reasons mainly the working poor whom were over taxed while the rich got tax breaks! sound familiar? so when things got to bad the senators and roman emperor told everyone take the weekend off and we will go to the coliseum and watch the gladiators fight. after it was over everybody went back to work and they forgot about how bad things really were! sound familiar? they are still using the same tactics but against our children! please monitor these television shows and music especially! some of us adults need be watching what we see & listen to also!! its not what you think it is!

i will be giving a lecture on media effects on our society, tuesday @ 11:30am, dec 6th @ ymca, in warren, ohio to a group of young people!

how can we better ourselves? there are many ways? one must first establish a relationship with the creator GOD, ALLAH, JEHOVAH, etc. this will lead to true purpose! true purpose is different from ones objective or self goals.
example: i want be rich {objective}, the creator wants me to be a monk! {purpose} therefore i may never become rich materially? but spiritually, mentally and emotionally i may become very rich? the lesson here is that "look how much time i spent being counter productive"!

purpose: can also be achieved from a community point of view,
example: the family, church or community needs a leader or helper to the creator. you feel the position.

purpose: a passive- aggressive approach!
example: can also be prayer for all!

know thy self

Knowing thy self is key in life! Knowing thy self is important in balancing oneself! If one becomes balanced then he or she can help balance others within their community. A balanced community grows strong and healthy children not only physically but spritiually and mentally; thus making people proud of where they come from. Please lets put the pride back into our communities!

Are we teaching young people to have a relationship with the creator? Do you have one yourself?
Are we teaching young people the truth? Do you know the truth?
Are we losing our community? What part do you play?
