BBW #12: Black Is the New Religion! Afrika Is Closed Until Further Notice!

    Afrika! Let's do like China and put the whole continent on lockdown, close our doors to the rest of the world until we're ready to come back out again as a super power! Let's do like Japan after the atomic bombs and strategize and regroup amongst ourselves until we're ready to return to the world stage as a force to be reckoned with! In the 60s if you bought something that said "Made in Japan", people would laugh at you and say,"Don't look at it too hard it might break! Hahaha!" Because Japan's early post war products were "rinky dink"! But by the time the 80s came around nearly every appliance in every house and every car on your block was Made in Japan! Let's put up a sign on the door of the Motherland that says: Afrika closed for 20 years or until further notice for inventory, repairs, reconstruction and healing! Let's close Afrika to foreigners from 2020 to 2040, if not longer, and keep and decide what we want to do with our gold, our diamonds, our oil, our land, our resources and ourselves! Lets put all the voluntary intergration, assimilation and multiculturalism on hold for a while until we rehabilitate, recover and cure our schizophrenia from being gang raped by the other cultures of the world! In other words, how can you be a Gay Rights Feminist Liberal Republican Capitalist Christian Muslim Alpha Phi YT Harvard Graduate Afrikan and ever find time to be black! We need more full time Afrikans who are black on purpose!

    If your house is on fire do you: A. Cry out to Jesus? B. Pray to Allah? C. Go to college and learn how to extinguish fires? Or D. Man up and put out the fire!? I ask you that question because the Black House is on fire, one in five Afrikan babies die before they reach five years old and our communities are going up in flames! We desperately need more black fire fighters! NOW!

    We need folks to unplug themselves from the Matrix, pull out, withdraw, and pull together! Harambe! I can hardly believe how gullible we black people are! Expending so much money, energy and resources fighting other people's battles and supporting everybody else's causes but our own! And then having the nerve to accept being reciprocated by being put on the bottom of the totem pole in every culture, cause and religion (You tell me if I'm lying)!!!  Let's take a panoramic view of what good the bloody religions have done for us the last 6000 years and peep their effeciancy ratings! lol

    Islam has not reproduced another Muhammad in 1400 years!

    Christianity has not christened another Jesus in over 2000 years!

    Buddhism has not given the world another Buddha in 2600 years

    Judaism has not seen another Moses in 3300 years! And

    Hinduism has not produced another Krishna in a whopping 5600 years!

    That means collectively these top five religions have not given the world another Messiah in 14,000 years!!!!

0 for 14,000 is the worst batting average ever!!! Who in their right mind would attend a college if they knew that they hadn't graduated a student with a Master's Degree in 14,000 years!? They say if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results that is the surest sign of insanity and retardation! Unlike the Mystery Schools of Ancient Egypt that produced World Teachers, community Avatars, Healers and Magicians, that church Pastor don't want you to graduate he wants to keep you and yours and those "money streams" in his stable for a lifetime!

    And the main reason why these religions have such a high faulure rate and have played a large put in placing the world in the pitiful condition it's in today is because they all have borrowed or stolen from ancient African civilizations and spirituality and worhsip great black Afrikan messiah god kings, but they all refuse to acknowledge their Afrikan origins, heritage and culture! And they not only dishoner the living Afrikans and today's black geniuses, but they are trying to completely deface and erase us from the picture! So these religions are cursed for suppressing or trying to suppress the rise of the Afrikan people they worship; largely because they know that if they catered to Afrikan glory and greatness people would follow Afrikans religiously instead of these bogus religions and they would lose power over the people; because people would want to "be like Mike" - Michael Jordon and follow the Michael Jacksons and Martin Luther Kings of the world!

    So to put it more succinctly: 

    Modern day Christianity is white supremacy disguised as religion.

    Islam is Arab supremacy disguised as religion.

    Buddhism is Asian supremacy disguised as religion.

    Judaism is Jewish supremacy disguised as religion. And

    Hinduism is Indo-European-Aryan supremacy disguised as religion.

    And every church in the world is basically a Little Whore House for the big pimp daddy church in Rome.

    Every mosque and Muslim similarly gives vitality and finances to Mecca and Arabian causes.

    Buddhism has brothers and sisters chanting,"Nam myo ho renge kyo" and turning heads toward Asia.

    Every Jew puts Israel on blast, although no Jew could ever teach you how to be an Afrikan Hebrew.

    And Hinduism, which has been called "Sanctified Racism" is the Godfather of all religions and it's main feature is it's caste system which puts light-skinned East Indians and whites in the upper castes and darker skinned Indians and Afrikans at the very bottom of these caste systems (forever!) and appeases each class by giving every one somebody to look down on and feel superior to and makes "Happy Slaves"out of the bottom caste members by telling them they are doing Dharma (God's work and God's will) and they are where they are because of their Karma (what they did in a past life)! So 200 million Afrikans have sailed in the bowels of the slave ship India for 3000 years and have been designated as Black Untouchables (too dispicable to even touch) and told not to go within twenty feet of the sacred Hindu temples because even if their shadows touch the temple walls the temples will be defiled!!!Wow! What a vicious con!!!

    All of these bloody religions andor their cultures have enslaved and are oppressing people, but mostly Afrikans. And these Baby Souls have the audacity to put themselves in the position as teachers and priests of God who claim that they can teach the Ancient Souls the way better than we can teach ourselves. Listen to the language of their religions: "Bow down, cover up, worship, obey and though shalt not!" That is not a language for the Parents of Humanity, the Planetary Elders and the Gods and Goddesses of Earth! This is the language for the young newborn races and the Barbaric Juvenile Delinquent Man!

    They stole your mojo and repackaged it and now are selling it back to you brother! Europa is a differently lettered way of saying Yoruba. Christ and Krishna sound alike because they both mean "black" in Sanskrit and Afrikan languages. And the word Messiah was inspired by the Masai (Warrors) and means "Spiritual Warrior"! But if all of this evidence and theft and deciet and wickedness isn't enough to convince you to withdraw out of their worlds like a turtle into your protective shell of pure Afrikaness and get back to black,  because you want to continue your journey as a "happy slave" then so be it! But I am a Malcolm eXorcists trying to exorcize the devil from my people; so I must encourage all true Afrikan revolutionaries to drop their affiliations with these theological Bloods and Crips, organized crime and Mafia owned, blood soaked religions!

    And even though I compare the Christians and the Muslims to the Crips and the Bloods, I will make slight exceptions for the Ethiopian Church and the Rasterfarians and the Black Muslims because they prove my point. Because their religiosity is black and afrocentric the Rastas produce plenty of strong black Messiah/Maisai Warriors, as do the Black Muslims who have given the world fierce black warrior prophets like Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Farrahkhan and Khalid Muhammad! And Reggae music has never wavered as a powerful, funky music for our people, Africa and the Most High! Plus I like how the Rastas are willing to work with anybody who is truly down for humanity, Afrikans and the Creator!

    "Our blacks are better than their blacks!" This is what a Republican politician blurted out recently when comparing her party with the Democratic party. And this pretty much sums things up across the board in world politics. These people cherish your skills but they actually think they own you - like pets! Like slaves! I think the NBA - Negro Basketball Association - players are on a strike now like never before because they figured this out, that millions of people cheer for their favorite teams thinking this same thing, "Our blacks are better than theirs!" We have great value brothers and sisters! Same thing in Major League Baseball and the National Football League! And in the Olympics ("Run, nigger, run!) every four years America gets to show off and parade us around like the Harlem Globetrotters and say: Our blacks are better than yours! Like we are a stable of well bred horses!

    But this sentiment goes much deeper than sports! How bland would Christianity and Islam be without Afrikans! Caint nobody put nothing on blast like black people! Who can fight better for a religion than Muhammad Ali? Or sing for one like Patti LaBelle!? All the religious leaders want you to think, "Our bloody brand of religion is better!" Afrikans were here for millions of years before anybody else, but these Johnny Come Latelys appeared on the scene a few years ago and made a religion out of you - Black Jesus, Black Moses, Black Buddha, Black Muhammad and Black Krishna, and out of Black Genius and Black Culture! And although they try to leave Afrikans and the African Origins of their religions out of the picture, their underlying sales pitch to the world is, "Our brand of black is best!"

    Even though the Hindu religious leaders paint pictures of Krishna as blue and any color but black, the very word Krishna in Sanskrit means "black". But the Christians say, "Our black is God's only Son!" Our black is exclusive - the best of the best! And the Muslims say "Mohammad is the last prophet!" But they say the same thing about great basketball players: There will never be another Elgin Baylor, another Oscar Robertson, another Doctor J, another Magic Johnson, another Michael Jordon, another Kobe Bryant, another LeBron James! They continue to underestimate the greatness of God and Black Genius which continues to shock the world and outdo what the world believes is possible!

    All around the world your Afrikan All Stars are worshipped, except in the west where you have to be clowning, on a leash or dead to pass the test! Tupac couldn't pay to get into a university when he was alive but now that he's passed on they have college classes and courses about him!?! When Michael Jackson got tired of the world of Cross-tianity he went to Saudia Arabia. When he came back he was about to shake up the world and cross over and become a Muslim like his brother Jermaine. Or he had already done so and was about to make it official during his comeback world tour.  But Crosstianity said if we can't have you nobody can! Michael Jackson got double crossed!

    "Our black are better than theirs!" One brags: We occupy Egypt now, the inspiration and blue print for all religions! Another says: We occupy the hood! One says: We occupy their corner grocery stores! Another says: We occupy their behinds! One says: We occupy their hair and their money! Another says: We occupy their minds!

    Seems like everybody wants too occupy black but black people! And so the world is deprived of what it needs most, African values, African wisdom, Afrikan spirituality, Afrikan culture and great black Afrikan genius! And this Black Deprivation is a lot like Sleep Deprivation which makes you cranky and irritable and drowsy and can lead to schizophrenia, insanity and death! Because when you sleep, dream, meditate and pray what do you do first? You close your eyes and see blackness - which is the door, the way, the truth and the source to everything, including light and power! Humanity originated from a black womb. And creation, like the morning sun from midnight, was born out of dark matter and black space! But black women are being deprived of functional black men. Black men are being deprived of loving black women. And black people and the whole world is being deprived of its Planetary Elders, black people, in a healthy state of mind and productivity!

    If you are a Harlem Globetrotter why would you want to play for the Washington Generals!?! Know thy self brother, sister! You are the life of the party! If you want to do something religious excavate the richness of your own blackness and black history and culture religiously! Put yourself and your people on blast! Listen to that Afrikan All Star in the New Testement who said,"Ye are Gods!" And to that other Afrikan All Star, Marcus Garvey, who said, "Be black, think black, buy black!" Your black is better than theirs! Theirs is a copy! You are the Original! And our black unity will be the greatest relgious experience in the history of the universe! Buy Black Wednesday!

BBW 11: OCCUPY YOUR BLACKNESS (And You Will Find Everything)!

    Are you a Part-time Revolutionary or a Full Time Afrikan!?! A part time revolutionary is better than nothing but we need more full time Afrakans in our come-unity! The problem is everybody else is being full time themselves, but we're only being part time ourselves! We are so distracted with American Dreams and fighting other people's fights that we have no chance of winning our own battles; and we wont until we give them our full attention and energy! The racists are working overtime! And our integration into disintegration has us hardly working!
    It's great that the OCCUPY WALL STREET movement against corporate greed and destruction is waking the rest of the world up to a battle that we've been fighting for thousands of years! And although we should encourage them we cannot be overly distracted from OCCUPYING BLACK WALL STREET and OCCUPYING BLACKNESS; wherein is our strength!
    Let me give you an overview of some of the various ways we've been [integrated and disintegrated] since the 60s by fighting other people's fights! Some of us joined the Flower Power Movement, white people revolting against their parents! But when it was over they went back to work for Wall Street and their parents, a luxury we didn't have! Sistars joined the Women's Feminist Movement, only to run into the same racism and discrimination they were getting from men! What is more important your gender or your people? Your genitalia or your people?
    Some of us joined the Gay Rights Movement and are presently in the streets fighting for homosexuals to have the same rights as heterosexual to marry. But that same greco-roman culture is trying to kill you! And what's more important your sexual orientation or saving black people from extinction? We also got little ol' black ladies on the streets giving it up for the Jehovah Witness Movement. We got folks who have shunned their blackness for the Christian Movement which is being used as white supremacy disguised as religion! We got Afrikans deblakified in the Muslim Movement which is being used as Arab Supremacy disguised as religion! We god black Buddhists chanting "Nam myo ho renge kyo!" a thousand times a day, when they should be having Afrikan words and causes on their lips! We got Afrakans chanting for the Hare Krishna Movement and we even have blacks trying to blend into the Mormon Movement! When the fact of the matter is all of these movements are empowering people, races and cultures that are anti-Afrikan and raping and pillaging our communities world wide! For this reason and the fact that are communities are backsliding into an abyss should be enough for us to drop out of these movements and into our Blackness full time! Not to mention that THE GODS DON'T NEED YOU BUT YOUR PEOPLE DO! If your house is on fire do you pray to Jesus or Allah to put the fire out, do you go to college to learn how to extinguish flames, do you inquire if the fire is sexist or homophobic or do you man up and put the fire out yourself! The Black House is on fire!
    Which reminds me, there is another form of integration that is one of my least favorite...and that is the College/University System which takes our brightest young minds and entangles them with nonsense and holds them hostage away from their communities for years before spitting them back out into the same jobless market that was there before but presently shackled with thousands of dollars of debt! And in the meantime all their homies are dead and gone, the sisters are turned out, a freeway has been run through the community, gentrification is everywhere, they've taken Harlem and the Filmore and all the Little Afrikas and they're still raping, pillaging and bombing Mama Afraka! Who? These people who you are praying with and being taught by and giving your money! Yes, even that little black church in the hood is being siphoned of it's coins and must pay the Big Daddy Church in the Vatican!
    And some of us are diluted and incapacitated by several of these movements at the same time! But what can a Gay Rights Christian Feminist Harvard Alpha Phi YT Republican Communist/Capitalist Gangster Rapper brother or sister do for black people! When will s/he ever have time to be black!
    Your Blackness has been in the world for millions of years, it carries certain information, wisdom, music, logic, magic, vibrations and rhythms of life that others cannot fathom. Close your eyes and you will be in and see the same blackness where every Messiah found his mojo! Occupy your Blackness and you will find everything...including God and Paradise! I promise you! And I guarantee it or your life back!

BBW #10: Religions Pay Homage to Afrikan Ancestary, but not to Afrikans!?!

Top 5 Religions are Batting 0 for 14,000 Years in Reproducing Greatness of its Black Heroes!

Religion is responsible for the position the world is in today!
But no religion is responsible for reproducing a single great man like the one it follows!
Let me show you why!
Islam is 0 for 1400 years in creating another Muhammad!
Christianity is 0 for 2000 in creating another like Jesus!
Buddhism is oh for 2600 in creating another Buddha!
Judaism is 0 for 3300 in creating another Moses!
Hinduism is 0 for 5200 in creating another Krishna!
Combined that makes these religions about 0 for 14,000 years!
That's the worse batting average ever! You haven't had a hit in 14,000 years!?!
Your religions need to be fired! If religion is the opiate of the masses yall need to get a new drug!
Why attend a school that hasn't had a succesful graduate in 14,000 years!
To do the same thing for 14,000 years and expect different results
is a glaring sign of retardation!

And why have these religions failed to reproduce the Messiahs they honor?
Because each religion pays homage to their Afrikan Ancestary and Great Black Genius of the past
but to the actual living Afrikans and great black genius of the present they suppress, ignore and dishonor.
It is the most absurd thing in the universe, over a billion East Indians worship Blue Black Krishna but there's over 200 million so called Black Untouchables that they have oppressed for over 3000 years! The Pope secretly worships a Black Madonna in the Vatican but outwardly shows no love for Afrakans! The cardinal rule of black and most indigenous cultures is to respect your elders! But black people are at the bottom of the totem pole of all religions and societies! Because 6 billion people on earth are in denial of their Afrikan Ancestry! So the world is cursed and suffering for disrespecting its Elders! And Afrikans are suffering for mimmicking these others and not showing love to themselves! SMH!

The King James Bible in many ways is an Old English newspaper. Most modern day newspapers have a tendency to make black people look bad. And the Bible is the same in the sense that it has no mention of Ancient Egypt except that it enslaved God's Chosen people; Nothing about Egypt and Afraka being the founder of civilization, science, mathematics, philosophy, music, poetry, astronomy and astrology, etc. But their is no proof that Egypt enslaved anybody! Egypt was Club Oasis of Planet earth! The Empire of Elegance! Everybody was trying to get in - not get out. Have you ever heard of slaves having enough gold to make a Golden Calf!?! Dag! Have you ever heard of slaves with jewelry? Besides black people in America!?! lol

Krishna is a Sanskrit word which means black! The word Christ is a derivative of the word Krishna, Khrist, KRST, which is an anciet kemetic/Afrakan word that means the same thing. The rivers of all races and all religions can be retraced to one source, Afraka! Black people are so awed by the Bible and other Holy Scriptures! Well you should be because the Bible is your story! You have been here for millions of years Black Man! These other people have just appeared on the scene a few thousand years ago! The story of the crucifixation is an ongoing story, isn't it obvious? You are the one being persecuted on the cross! And your ressurection is taking place even now as I speak!

We are the ones we've been waiting for! You are the Black Buddhas and Black Muhammads and Black Krishnas and Black Jesus' and Black Moses and Nefertitis and Ankhenatons and Isis' and Ausars and Cleopatras and King Solomons - the wisest man on earth! Your dark skin tone distinguishes you as a Planetary Elder, sunkissed with the wisdom of the ages, and eons of insight and intuition and millenia of black magic and mojo and overcoming! So go forth and heal the world! You are the light of the world, the door, the truth! I am That I am! You are! Amen Ra! Amen!

Think black, love black, buy black!

Buy Black Wednesdays 8: OCCUPY BLACK WALLSTREET!

There is an incredible movement going on right now to fight government greed and corruption worldwide! It started about 3 weeks ago in New York with a group that calls there movement OCCUPY WALLSTREET! There main focus is that the greedy elite 1% super rich are oppressing the other 99% of humanity and we are not going to take it anymore! And their hundreds of demonstrators have turned into thousands and millions! At first the corporate owned media refused to cover them, but their growing numbers could not be denied! Michael Moore showed up, Cornel West, KRS1, Susan Sarandon and a plethora of unions! Until Occupy Wallstreet spread to Occupy Greece, Occupy London, Occupy Chicago, Occupy San Francisco, Occupy LA, and now Occupy Oakland and Berkeley and so on!

And I am all for this movement! Is it for black people? Yes! But with caution! These people are shouting "Power to the People!" Amen! But where were they 40 years ago when the Panthers needed them? They are revolting now only because they are being treated as inhumanely as black people have been treated for 400 years! Back in the 60s these people had a tantrum (it turns out) and had a Sexual Revolution, Flower Power, Summer of Love, Free Speech Movement, where the Peace Sign was in vogue. But they eventually exchanged their Peace Signs for Mercedes Benz signs, went back to Wallstreet and back to work for their daddies who they were rebeling against; a luxury we never had. And when they went back to their lives of privilege they forgot about us!

So join the movement with caution and ask yourselves of any movement: Does this group have a collective goal or plan to work on which assures that we are making progress for our people everyday if not every hour!? Buy Black Wednesdays is a movement that has such a plan! So feel free to join our international [Buy] Black Wednesday campaign. It's not just about buying black once a week, it's about reblakifying our deblackified minds! It's about revisiting Black History Month and Kwanzaa and each other on no less than a consistant weekly basis! It's about excavating the black gold in great black legacies of which there is no end! It's about OCCUPYING BLACK WALLSTREET by recruiting new members hourly, everyday! There is no reason for us to be a poor Trillion Dollar Nation! The gold, the diamonds, the oil, the wealth and resources of Afrika are merely the shadows of it's people! The greatest wealth of Afraka is us! Afreeka be free!

BBWs #9: Wille Lynch Speech a Hoax & the Big Pay Back!

    As a result of s being cut off from our roots and being strangers in a strange land we are oftentimes the most gullible people on earth...and the most fanatic! We have more liqour stores in our communities than anybody else, more guns, drugs, churches, crime and Jesus freaks! We kill more blacks than anybody else and since Atlanta has become the new gay capitol of America it seems like we are now becoming homosexuals at a faster rate than anybody else. The good news is that our fanaticism shows that once we put our minds to something we can outdo anybody! Unfortunately it seems like we have also been dupped by the Willie Lynch Letter, which is supposed to be a "How to Control Your Slaves" manifesto that was presented to a group of slave owners in 1712!

    Fortunately noted Oakland scholar and historian, Professor Manu Ampim, did his homework and researched this paper, as we should have done, and discovered that although it gained its greatest noteriety because of the advent of the internet in the 90s, it can only be traced back to no earlier than the 1970s! Plus there are some obvious discrepancies and language faux pauxs that indicate the paper was written in modern times, my guess is by a Black Studies student and child of the Black Power movement who was trying to do something to wake up his people. But he made the mistake of using expressions like "up front" and "refuel", modern day colloquialisms; because they certainly had no cars, trucks or airplanes to refuel back in the 1700s or any fuel or petroleum products for that matter!

    But most importantly what the brother pointed out was that although we have suffered from "divide and conquer" tactics, the effects of those tactics were miniscule especially in comparison to the three main components that have lead to our present day predicament as a people. And those three things that have disabled us the most are: Migration, Urbanization and Intergration!

    We have become or have been forced to become so nomadic that it can be difficult for us to build or form relationships, organizations, unity and even friendships. Urban Renewal/Gentrification/Eminent Domain/Manifest Destiny/Freeways thru the neighborhood it's all the same. I once heard somebody say that the expression "Black Community" is an oxmoron - a contradiction in terms! And however false that statement might be still there is too much truth in it to ignore!

    Urbanization and migration moved us away from "down home", back south and caused us to lose a lot of natural affection for each other! Northern negroes, both male and female are harder and colder and more independent - more like the white folks and towns they migrated to. When I say Chicago, New York, Detroit and Oakland you think of rugged blue collar toughness, not the soft, pliable, matriarchal, nurturing environments we came from! We left our land and our farms and our agriculture and our ability to grow our own food and build our own homes and towns and cities and wound up in Concrete Jungles! Not only did they take the Sun from us and put him in a book, but the put cement between us and the earth and herded us into ghettos and turned us into Block Monsters, with no one to prey on but each other!

    And all that was still managable because we still had each other and our businesses and our communities and neighorhoods and incomes and our own doctors and banks and artisians and athletes and theaters and teachers and schools and students who were performing above the national scholastic averages! But when intergration came we did a jail break from one another, the most talented folks of our communities left to go work for and with the white man, welfare came in to divide the family and without many sheperds to guard the flock the wolves came in with drugs and guns and gangs and forked tongues and suddenly the neighborhoods become hoods without neighbors!!!!

    With no land, no businesses and no property we became professional guests, permanent guests in other peoples stores, apartments, projects, hotels, hospitals, arenas and towns; subject to be thrown out, rejected or evicted at anytime. We have become like a sports team without a home game or a home field advantage, always playing on the road and trying to excel in hostile environments - like the Christians versus the Lions in the Roman Coliseum!

    So Buy Black Wednesdays is about enabling ourselves to play more home games in comfortable nurturing surroundings in neighborhoods instead of hoods and communities instead of coliseums, with fellow team mates in our own stadiums and businesses and properties and homes, on our own land, where we grow our own food and teach and govern our own children and citizens. And all this simply by changing our spending habits and patterns...and becoming fanatics about buying black, black business and black people!

Buy Black Wednesdays 7: Columbus, the White Cat Who Brought the World 500 Years Bad Luck!

There are those who would have you believe that seeing a black cat (like me!?) cross your path will bring you bad luck. But the Native Americans had no idea when they first saw that white cat named Christopher Columbus that he would be bringing them and the whole world 500 years bad luck!         Those two hundred years between 1400 and 1600 were an unfortunate turning point in world history. During that time Europeans began to sell the rest of the world a can of beans with their picture and lable on it (a white Jesus centered Christianity), that took them from the Dark Ages to the Space Age and from the barbaric Middle Ages to the barbaric Super Power that America is today, leaving much of the world behind in a dark age of poverty and oppression, with nothing to show for it but a can of beans -  without a can opener!        When we are born into the world all we have to grow up on are the stories our parents and the world feed us. But if our parents and their parents and the whole world were brought up on lies than probably much of what we believe in are lies, untrue or misleading; Like when we were taught in school that Columbus discovered America.     And many of our parents believe that we should pursue a "I am qualified to be a success in life degree" from college because that is a part of the American Dream; and that the ideal place for us to seek higher learning is from a prestigious university like Harvard. When the best thing Harvard can really do for you is teach you a watered down version of your own stolen legacy!!!     Because the truth of the matter is...that not one single university in the history of the world on planet earth has ever been able to create one Michael Jackson, not one James Brown, not one Thelonious Monk, not one Bob Marley, not one Marcus Garvey, not one Josephine Baker, not one George Washington Carver, not one Muhammad Ali, not one Great Pyramid or a single genre of music like the Blues, Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop or R&B! Why? Because you can't touch this and you can't teach this! Black magic! The magic of black people!     This special Khemistry is in y/our genes! Your melanin and dark skin tone distinguishes you as a Planetary Elder, one who embodies the wisdom of the ages, one who is blessed with eons of insight and intution and millenia of magic and overcoming in your DNA and coursing through your veins! Just as a record or CD is imprinted with music so have you been deeply sunkissed and sprinkled with stardust from the rhythms and music of the spheres and the mojo and juju of the most ancient of years!     The number one rule of the Original People and most Indigenous People is respect your elders! But there is a tribe of Grown Juvenile Delinquents who have no respect for anything! These Baby Souls have carjacked the world but they don't know how to drive so they keep crashing into everything; spilling millions of gallons of oil into the oceans, knocking over whole (rain) forests and millions of sacred trees and killing millions of indigenous people and wildlife! You and the other indigenous peoples of the world should be teaching them instead of them teaching you!     And as far as the American Dream is concerned, you have to be asleep to believe it! After 500 years of being burnt in our own ashes it is time for the Phoenix to rise! We must stop funding the Inhumane Society and their enterprises of madness and support our own and more nobler agendas! Your community is your university! Out of all the infinite heavens and all the infinite earths that little acre of land called your community is the university God (Universal Intelligence) planted you in! And if we support them enough soon our communities will be more sustainable, prosperous and greater centers of higher learning than their universities!     This is one of the reasons I created not only Buy Black Wednesdays but also All Afrikan Saint's Day - a red black and green alternative to Halloween. All Afrikan Saint's Day is intended to be an afrocentric Day of the Dead! An all Afrikan holiday where we revisit and pay homage to our black heroes and ancestars instead of ghosts and goblins and spiritual gangsters! A day to excavate Black Gold and Black Power from incredible Black Legacies! A day where we may still wear costumes and lavish adornments and play make-believe, but we do so to re-member the great Afrikans who preceded us, through poetry, song, dance, music, drumming, skits, speeches and re-enactments of great moments, groups and individuals in Black History!     All Afrikan Saint's Day is intended to be held on the same day as Halloween. However we will have a promotional event on Sunday, October 16, 6 to 9pm at Shashamane's Restaurant, 2507 Broadway, in Oakland.     Paradise Day is October 6th in the city of Oakland, a distinction I was given for my many years of service in the arts community, but will be celebrated on Sunday, October 2nd, 6 to 9pm at Shashamane's Ethiopian Restaurant.     Vote today for the world of the future now!

Buy Black Wednesdays 6: We've Made Everybody Else Rich! Now it's Our Turn!

Turns out the freedoms we won weren't enough, we also need discipline! No disrespect to other cultures, but when we got a little freedom we did a jailbreak from each other and ran into the open arms of everybody else and made them rich! We ran to Chinatown to get Chinese food, we ran to Japantown to get sushi and Japanese food! We ran to the taco stand to get Mexican food! We ran to Little Italy to get pizzas in Italian shoes and suits! We ran to Mac Donalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken and to everybody else's restaurant to make them rich!

We ran to the Asian Beauty Salons to get manicured and pedicured and our fine East Indian hair weaves and made them rich! Our comedians and boxers have made comedy clubs throughout the country and Showtime and HBO rich! Our music has made Sony, the Music Industry and the whole world rich! We've made Pimps, Pushers, Preachers and ghetto slum lords rich! We left our Black Wall Streets with 600 businesses in a 10 Square mile area and our Harlems and Little Africas and were seduced by Greener Pastures, the American Dream and Goldy Locks to make Disneyland, Hollywood, Manhattan and Suburban Malls rich!

We ran to Nike for $200 running shoes and made them rich! We ran to the NBA and made the National Basketball Association Rich! We ran to the NFL and made the National Football League rich! We ran in the Olympics and made the International Track Federation, ABC, NBC and CBS sports rich! We had our own professional baseball teams in the Negro Leagues, an Ebony Field of Dreams with the best baseball players in the Universe, but we allowed ourselves to be seduced and put thousands of black folk out of work and communion to return to our former slave masters and make them and Major League Baseball rich! And that rich ebony Field of Dreams has vanished into the mists of time!

Our young boys and girls get athletic scholorships and the promise of a free education to play ball at major colleges and universities and make them rich! "Run nigger, run!" Because this is primarily what the colleges are for and about: money... human roachtraps and 4 to 8 year detention centers for our community's brightest minds and greatest talents! And if they can't use you to further their White Supremacy endeavors they spit you back out into the world shackled with thousands of dollars of debt! Meanwhile, while you were pursuing the American Dream, the American Nightmare was swallowing up your community, killing your homies, turning your brothers and sisters into crackheads and tricks and disenfranchising the whole neighborhood once again with gentrification and disorientation and a brand new expressway where your thriving black businesses used to be!

So as a form of therapy and medication we make Newport and Malt Liqour makers rich! Our physical constitutions and oppression anxieties are so strong that we need a "double poison" to get a buzz! We can't just smoke regular cigerettes we gotta have menthol! And we can't just drink regular beer we gotta have Malt Liqour! And our poor drinking and eating habits have made many a doctor, hospital and Undertaker rich!

We've made America rich, Europe rich, Asians rich, Jews rich, Arabs at the corner liqour store rich and every Tom, Dick and Harry has fed off of and is benefiting from our labor, talent and Life Force but us!!!! Even our poets and spoken word artists are making other people rich! Which is why I'm giving a For Colored Girls, $1000 (Winner takes All!) Sistar Slam in November to encourage literacy, art, culture and cooperative economics! We've made everybody else rich, now it's our turn!

Support black and community friendly businesses everyday, but especially on Black Wednesday!

Buy Black Wednesday 5: Money Talk!

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, THE MOST LIBERAL CITY IN AMERICA and the world some say! And yet Berkeley High School, with over 3500 students and 250 teachers,  has only 8 black teachers!!! Scandalous! Shame on you BHS administration! The city of Berkeley has declared 2011, "The Year of the Black Man"! But where are the Black Male Teachers that are so desperately needed for black boys and students? HIRE ME! Give me the ear of Black America for one year and I'll make 40 million model citizens appear! Let us produce more black owned schools and centers of higher learning. And let us make it possible to fund with Buy Black Wednesdays.

HOW IMPORTANT IS BUY BLACK WEDNESDAYS? One sister told me recently, "We're going to need much more than Buy Black Wednesday to solve our problems." Wow! What a brilliant deduction! But is it true? Let's see what the major problems are in our community and see if BBW can address them: Off the top of my head I'd say the major problems we're facing are 1. Poverty 2. Violence 3. Crime 4. Drugs/Health 5. Lack of Unity 6. Self Hate 7.Lack of Knowledge of Self. Let's not quibble about the order of importance. If we can solve the poverty issue the violence and crime issues would dwindle significantly. People with money in their pockets have less a need to do crimes or drugs or be violent. Black Americans have an income of $1,000, 000, 000 000 (a trillion dollars) a year! But we are a poor Trillion Dollar Nation because that money barely stays in our communities for 15 minutes! The next time you get a pay check muthafarker do us all a favor and keep it for 16 minutes! Hahahahaha!! Pray about how you're going to use it! Everything has a spirit! Talk to your money before you give it away and tell it where to go, who to bless and to come back to you multiplied!

 

Buy Black Wednesday is enriching us as I speak because more people are keeping and bringing that money home! It's causing us to (Oh my God!) think black...more often, which is [changing our consciousness] and causing more unity(!) and getting us back into the habit of buying black when ever possible. We are getting more "touches", more connections, more involvement with each other! And when you touch black people (in their natural unjacked up state) you get blessed above all others, your blood pressure goes down, your endorphins rise up, your health improves! When you create and are around a Black Family atmosphere there's more self love and knowledge of self! Our minds are expanded and our lives are enriched when we come in greater contact with the black experience! And of course, with the increased interaction comes more awareness of Black History! So before you shoo shoo and poo poo Buy Black Wednesday let's try to do it! Let us do this one thing together and see the outcome for ourselves!

Buy Black Wednesdays 4: The Black Statue of Liberty

The Black Statue of Liberty

Bring me your tired, your poor, your hungry
Those who are suffering from white supremacy
Those who bleach their skin, hair and souls
Bring me your pimps, your criminals, your hoes
Your coons, uncle toms and sambos
Your dope dealers, crack heads and fiends
Zombies, abused, misused and unclean
Your sell outs, drop outs and cop outs
Those who are hopeless, helpless
And plagued with doubt and loss of identity
I am free and I set free
I am the Black Statue of Liberty

I am Buy Black Wednesdays
I am the redistribution of black wealth
I am self sufficiency
I am the robust revitalization of black health
I am umoja - black unity
I am the knowledge and love of self
I am ujima - collective work and responsibility
I am the giant Supernova dwarfed in every black elf
I am the torchbearer who has shown the way for centuries
I am the Black Statue of Liberty

I am Buy Black Wednesday
Ujamaa - Cooperative Economics
The beginning of the reconstruction
Of Black Sovereignty
One day a week to renew my vows
And to express my conviction and loyalty
One day a week I promise the ancestars
I will honor all of black history
Until this weekly practice becomes
A full time way of life for all of us
And every African is free!
I am the Black Statue of Liberty!

I am the night adorned with a Crown of Stars
And the golden torch you call the sun
I am the light of the world in every black body
I am the Original who came before everyone
I am every brother and sister who walks the earth
I am the co creator of the universe
I am the the ripest fruit of my incomparable AncesTree
I am the Black Statue of Liberty

I have come up from over 400 years of slavery
And persevered with the whole world against me
I have carried more weight on my shoulders than Atlas
And accomplished more feats of labor than Hercules
I am the living embodiment of all those crucified
And resurrected - no need to look backward
Or forward in history
For millions of years I've roamed the earth
And sheperded Galaxies across the universe
And still I rise...triumphantly
I am the Black Statue of Liberty

Oh ye children of the earth
Look no further if you want to see the likes of God
His power and glory!
Behold! All of your legends, myths, gods and heroes
Real or fabricated, pale beside me
I am the hope of the world
The embodiment of Divinity
At least one day a week I vow
To help set a new trend every Wednesday
And spend money within my community
Because my discipline is the key
I am the Black Statue of Liberty!
(c) 6-30-2011
(2nd draft work in progress)

This poem was partially inspired by the Urban Legend
that the original statue of liberty was a black woman,
used a black woman as the model, and was symbolic
of black people and our struggle for freedom! Even
if the legend/myth is not true it does seem appropriate
...or shall we say: propah!

Buy Black Wednesdays 3: What it Means to be a Born Again African?

First of all let's not get it twisted! You can be a Born Again African and a born again christian at the same time! Being a Born Again African has nothing to do with religion...other than going out of your way to support black people and black businesses religiously! Being a Born Again African means you realize that you and your people have been stripped of your land, language, culture, heritage and spirituality and you know it is your responsibility and delight to reclaim it for your self and your kin. Being a Born Again African means you've had a revelation! You realized that your destiny and fortunes are bound up with a people...who are like no other, who have survived and even thrived in the harshes conditions any human has ever faced...and everything you have is fruit that comes from them, your AncesTree, and it is your duty, honor and delight to carry on their legacy! Being a Born Again African means you've been baptised spiritually in the river Nile, in the waters of the Motherland, the Garden of Eden, in Blackness and Afrocentricity and you are proud to be in the lineage of Queen Mother Moore, Kwame Toure, Shaka Zulu, Jackie Robinson, King Solomon, Queen Cassieopia, Steven Biko, The Cleopatras, Josephine Baker, Mary Baker Eddy, Nefertiti, Imhotep, Hermes, Ahkenaton, The Moors, Mansa Musa, Malcolm. Martin, Medgar, Mandela, Marcus, Marley, Menelik, the Muhammads, the Mau Mau, the Melchizadeks, the African Mayans and all the other Mighty Ms! Being a Born Again African means you have your headlights turned on and you are a focused, Conscious African from head to toe because you know you are being of the greatest service to your self, your family, your community and all of Humanity by restoring your people to their natural order of self sufficiency and splendor as the most radiant examples of the Sons and Daughters of the Most High!

Being a Born Again African means that everytime you venture out to support a black business and the [business of being black] you sojourn with Sojourner Truth. You pay homage and hop aboard the Underground Railroad with Harriet Tubman on the Road to Freedom. You bring flowers to those Four Little Black Girls in Mississippi. You vote for a better community with Fannie Lou Hamer. You lock arms with Dr. King in his March on Selma. You go to Washington with Frederick Douglass to splash more color on the White House (that your people built) and demand the freedom to build your own Black House.

Being a Born Again Afro-kin means if you're at a Flea Market and you see a scarf you like being sold by one person for $5 and being sold by a brother or sister for $7, you suck it up and pay $7 bucks! It means doing like that elderly asian sister who comes to your community in the wee hours of the morning to collect cans and bottles and brings them back to Chinatown! You go out of your way the same way for Afreetown, the Little Africa that is your community! (Sometimes I spell Afraka differently, like Afreeka, to remind us that Afrika must be free!) It means you spend a crummy five dollars (20 quarters) to post your business in the Bay View Business Directory, not only to give your business more exposure, but to help the Bay View become a weekly again because some day you may not be able to afford to wait a whole month to receive the truth about what's really going on in your community!

Being a Born Again Afra-kin means you realize that God created blood cells to flow to the heart, bees to make honey and support the hive, and blacks to support Africans and (the Be Hive of All Humanity) the Motherland! And the best way to be independant is not to be independent of your brothers and sisters and dependent on "The Man", but to liberate your people mentally, physically, emotionally, materially, spritually, financially, dietarilly and every way possibly - by sacrificing and going more out of "your way" for "OUR WAY!" And spiritually, if not physically, reconstructing the original Black Statue of Liberty!

A verse from my rap/song "Born Again African":
I'm a born again African, yeah
A dark skinned hue-man, yeah
A fulltime Melaniasian, yeah
A First World Citizen, yeah
A Ma(ya)n from Swahili-land, yeah
The Red, Black and Green land, yeah
Where no one uses profanity, Say what?
We think-speak in harmony, for the children!
That's our history...
