Bayard Rustin 3/17/1912 to 8/24/1987
Civil rights leader / Gay rights
Bayard Rustin is the "Godfather" of the black civil rights movement! It is he that help design the black civil rights movement. Because of his personal views {gay} he had to take a back sit in movement because the F.B.I "said they would do a smear campaign against him and Martian Luther King Jr / of being to close and King might be gay!" King was not gay, but Rustin was openly gay! Rustin did not want to put the movement in jeopardy so he took a back sit and mentor King though the civil rights movement. This is why you haven't heard of him until now!
He was leader of movement from 1955 to 1968. He also organized the 1947 freedom bus rides! He also organized the Southern Christian Leadership Counsel {s.c.l.c.} to back King as the new leader. He was chief organizer of the march on Washington D.C in 1963. He influenced such leads as Tom Kahn, Stokley Carmichael and Martin Luther King Jr. He had influence on organization also Congress on Racial Equality {C.O.R.E} and Student Non- Violence Coordinating Committee {S.N.C.C}.
We thank you, Bayard Rustin for champing our cause to freedom!
This is a brief description of Bayard Rustin life. I want the young people to do their on research of the this great fighter of freedom! This is enough to get them or you started in the research.
To the young people we love you! We continue to fight to make it better as other did for us like Bayard Rustin. I am personally sorry for the mistake I made in my life, that have contribute to you all inheriting such a harsh world to grow up in!
peace, love and unity

study lesson / names of africa
Africa{Latin}- The name comes from a providence in N. Africa that was part of the Roman Empire. The whole continent would go on to be known as Africa.
Africa has been known by so many names because it is so old. The most common names are listed below.
Al-kebulan / Al-kebuland - This is what indigenous / native African people called their home land.
Al-kebulan- means mother of mankind / or the garden of eden
Ethiopia was another name for Africa, named after the Ethiopian people. Ethiopia is a Greek name, This is what the Greeks called it before being renamed Africa by the the Romans.
In reference to holy text the Holy Bible, Holy Qur-an and Torah, Africa was known as Ham {Cham}, the land of Ham, Noah son.
If you study African or African descent people they are often refereed to as Hamites.
Another holy text reference to Africa is Cush / Kush and the people known as Cushites / Kushites. Cush / Kush is Ham son.
*Other names of place to help when studying Africa {Al-Kebulan}.
Egypt proper name is Kemet {KMT} this is what the Black Egyptians called their land. Meaning the land of the Blacks / some White {European}scholars will say the names pertains to the black soil?
The area around Sudan is often known as Nubia. When the Nubian people expand their territory the area was known as the Nubian Expansion, currently parts of Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia basically the horn of Africa.
Ethiopia is mostly refereed to as Cush.
*study notes.
time frames are important to know.
ancient Africans used the letter k not c, which are interchangeable in the english language.
the best kept records are by the ancient Egyptians {kemetians}.
ancient Africans before holy texts books did not use vowels / kemet is really spelled kmt. hello is hotep / hotep is really htp.
Hebrew was the first African language to use vowels. Vowels became popular when the Koine Greeks copy the Hebrew bible into Greek. Vowels are widely used to translate one language to another language. But, {more than not} they often led to a lot of mistranslation. Vowels in short are like a cheat sheet to translation of words and languages.

men section / stop the killing
Being a native of Detroit, Michigan am greatly concern about the welfare of the community. Being a African- American male I, understand a lot of the problems that young black men have to deal with. I have some answer to some of the problems! The solutions will deal with a lot of reflection on self. I have to be harsh and critical not only of my self and my past actions but those of my peers and community!
First, we will deal with self! As black men we need to really step up our game. The first thing is for those who do not take care of their children, you need to stop being so selfish and grow up! If you and the mother do not get along so what man- up the child or children do not have anything to do with that! What you are causing indirectly is a anger and bitter young man. Nobody wants to be rejected, especially by their father! We {black men} are the ones are supposed to teaching, guiding and leading these young men. Now days these young men are growing up so angry!
COMPARISONS:
When we grew up young people used or experiment with drugs {alcohol & Marijuana} for fun: be cool, peer pressures or just to mannish {bad}.
Today: I mentor young people, I ask them why do you get high or stay high? The number one answer is STRESS! Stress? I say, what stress do you have you live at home, no bills or children to take care of? They say the relationship between my parents mainly my dad! I don't really know him or he don't really come around nor take care of me! They say they are hurting inside! Getting high takes the pain away? Now we all know that this is only a temporary solution for a long term problem. These young men are a walking time bomb waiting to explode on something or someone!
Brothers you have to spend time with these young men and defuse the time- bomb within you created. I understand times are hard and you may not have money to do what you want for your son. But sending the message that money makes you man is equally or worst then not coming around.
The next problem: parenting
The black community is putting to much importance on material goods! {name brand clothes & accessories, jewelry, cars}. The first problem we have as parents {moms & dads} we watch to much television, therefore we allow the children {young boys} to watch to much also. This whole hip- hop image has been commercialized, so much that a person self worth is tied or directly linked to a material possession! So the minute the young man doesn't have what he see on television his self- esteem goes in the gutter! Now the young man is going to do what ever it takes to get that material good {steal, rob, sell- drugs} which all at some point leads that young man down a violent path that he will be put in a position he will have to kill someone!
Turn the Television OFF! Young people only need a hour or two (2) at the most of television a day. Read a book, play a sport or instrument, get involved in after school activates, church, mentoring program 4- h club etc:
The next problem:
Mothers! Okay, let me start by saying we all LOVE YOU!
Moms you can not take it out on the kids because things did not work with the man! I know everybody is grown, but you can not I repeat can not say what ever you feel or think in front of those children. Not only are you bitter but you are making those young men bitter and angry because of the bashing of dad! Now your son has low self- esteem! With at some point turns to anger if not corrected. Moms this is another big problem, you should not use the children as pawns and for ransom payments!
Pawns- when you are mad at dad he can not see the kids even if he is paying and doing his part. That has to stop your hurting the child more then the dad, plus your confusing the child which over time results in anger!
Ransom payments- this is a complicated one? If he is not paying or doing his {dad} part they have courts of law to handle that! Moms you can not be the court! The first and only problem with that, there are two (2) sides to every story then the truth! Next you make those children feel so bad your dad did not pay me so he can not see you! If you do, do this you are destroying that child inside emotionally. Which cause hurt, pain and confusion which can lead to pin- up emotion and somebody could get hurt or killed one day?
The next problem:
Church & the Mosque they really need to step there game up! They are light years behind in address the woes of the community! Let me tell all the clergy men this "saving souls is not a business" GOD don't deal in money! Clergy men need to open their hearts, minds{prejudice} and doors to the young people! They got souls too! Where are the youth days at? Where are breakfast programs at? Where are after school tutoring & mentoring class at? Neighborhood clean- up projects? No organized community meetings? No marching locked- arms to stop the killings? Working with law- officials using your influence to do more about the violence and killing? When did the church stop being a safe guard for the community which it is suppose to help safe guard? The church should at least foster some grass- roots programs to address the killings in Detroit if they see fit for them not to get involved !
Main Solution:
Stop blaming them children {young men} for the problems we put on them and the ones they inherited simple because they was born black in America! You all acted like they crazy! There is nothing wrong with them, all they do is what they see and are taught! Now, what that say about us? Who really the crazy ones now?

Women section / Hysterectomy
If I, talked to you about a hysterectomy this info is not about you but inspired by you to help others! The one friend, I thank you for letting me use a small part of your story to tell my story!
I talk to my sisters see whats on their minds and how they feel in general. In talking to my friends they were telling me they had to have surgery? Am like whats wrong? Some were slow to say others were forward about having a Hysterectomy! I never said anything just listen, thinking to myself isn't she a little young for that, most were under forty (40) years of age. In the last six (6) months, five (5) young ladies have told me they had or was due to have the procedure. That seemed alarming to me so the last few weeks, I had been doing some research but at the same time debating rather to write about my findings.
One of my good friends whom I love very much for her forward approach on life told me she was not going to have the procedure because she was in her mid 30s and put off having children and marriage to pursue her degrees! She wants to have at least one child before she could not have any! So we talked and out of our talks we wonder how many women did get a second opinion before having a hysterectomy?
Research findings:
In mostly all the papers I read they openly said that in most case hysterectomy were misdiagnosed? In one paper it actually said "unwarranted and unnecessary reasons"! In 2003 over 600,000 were performed in the United States along! The highest of any industrialized country in the world!
The report also went on to say that hysterectomy should always be the last resort! There were many other alternative treatments.
The procedure is consider high risk, with MANY LONG TERM SIDE EFFECTS, besides not being able not to have children anymore!
It also stated 35% of all women who have a hysterectomy have to have a similar operation within TWO (2) years of having the first procedure! This means 1 out of every 3 women will be back within two (2) years for another procedure!
ONLY in the case of ovarian cancer should it be the first option to reduce the spread of cancer.
In another report I read concern African- American women especially:
This is what it said "hysterectomy rates varied according to geographic location, rates in the southern states were higher than other location in United States" the report went on to say "data on variation by race are less consistent , but most sources indicted a higher rate in African- American women than in White {European} women, especially before the age of FORTY- FIVE (45)"! The report also said "there were several (7) studies that indicated that WOMEN WITH LOW EDUCATION ATTAINMENT or LOW INCOME are more likely to have a hysterectomy!
Okay ladies go on my blog site and go to the archives and read {EUGENICS}!!!
Which I just wrote about it a couple of weeks ago!
Tell me that a lot of these {hysterectomy} are just a 2012 eugenics program going on to control birth and population rates of blacks in America AGAIN!
I want to make this clear am not a racist there are a few cool white {European} people whom I like a lot! But over all I do not trust them at all! I study history, so I not only know a lot of African and African- American history, but a whole lot of European, American and World history! They do not I repeat do not have a good track record with not only dealing with their own very well but especially non- white people!
They are doing everything they can to slow down and stop birth rates of blacks in this country! The reason why, being if they keep being the majority they can keep the power and with the power they have control over us {blacks}! NO, we do not see or even think along them terms but they do! So the best thing we can do to stay out of harms way is read a lot more.This way you can arm your self with the facts which is the truth "they do not like you"!
Sisters do them {whites} like you all do us {the black man} don't talk me / show me! Ain't that's what you all tell us {the black man} when we say we like or love you! What the WHITE MAN show you " how many of you dumb niggas can I KILL before you catch on" I said it Erik Boyd! This is very personal to me because you all are my sisters!
Start loving your self! know thy self! Cant nobody love you better then you!
peace, love and unity!

Ethiopia Kings
Before I, discuss any Kings there must be given great tribute and homage to the Queen Mothers of Ethiopia! To all that have a ear let them hear, without the Black {African} Woman there would be no Kings of Africa! Everything we {Africans} have comes from our MOTHERS!
The Black Woman was the first elect of GOD it was GOD {feminine & masculine} that chose to place the man- child in the woman womb!
* GOD from an African {Ethiopian & Egyptian}, point of view is made up of female & male characteristics and attributes! Woman and Man are both created as two (2) divine halves {equals} of that GOD. Once the two (2) halves are joined again {marriage} they become ONE DIVINE BEING again thus given marriage the name HOLY MATRIMONY. This is the only thing that GOD considers a person can do as holy {sacred}.
*Note: not to be confused by the holy bible or any other religious text etc, African history does not start or end with the holy bible or any other non Africa religious texts. The holy bible and other texts are retold and or revised stories from earlier African {Ethiopian & Egyptian} religion and history!
Now the Glory of the Kings! {Kebra Nagast}
Menelik I- Son of Queen Mother Sheba {Makeda} and King Salomon of Judea. The first Emperor in the world! Emperor means- king of kings
The first Judaic {Jewish} ruler of Ethiopia. Keeper of the Ark of the Covenant for his father King Salomon.
Starting King Salomon and continuing Queen Sheba {Makeda} royal bloodlines for two- hundred twenty- five {225} generations, until 1975 with Emperor Halie Selassie.
King Ezana- King of Ethiopia {Saba} and city- state of Axum.
The first king to accept and adopt Christianity for himself and his kingdom!
*Not Constantine of Constantinople {Istanbul}, Eastern Roman Empire.
The first king to mint gold coins in his name for his kingdom! To express the wealth of the country. Perfected the use of elephants {modern day tanks} in battle. Which he used against the non- Africa Arabs. {middle & northern Arabia}
The best of the best dressers: He wore silk garments, laced with gold thread, with pearls hanging from it, along with the finest crocodile shoes. When the Greeks emissaries seen him they said "he look like the purest light they ever seen!"
Halie Salassie- {power of trinity} Ras Tafari - the messiah
Our last King to rule the throne of Ethiopia. 1975
His mother ruled the throne until he was old enough. Which he inherited throne from his mother side {maternal} family.
He taught us of our true self {know thy self}. The Rastafarian movement in Jamaica are his followers and faithful subjects! To Rastafarian he is the reincarnation of the messiah!
King Haile Selassie live forever in glory!
peace, love and unity
