I Listen...and the things that I hear coming from our generation at times is rather disturbing to me...We don't have to travel back through time, to revisit the tragedies of our ancestors, we are reminded everyday....but what we have to do, we have to listen and pay attention....We look too much at their tragedies and suffering instead of focusing on all of their successes...
We just need to pay attention...are there still House Negroes and Field Negroes?
yes...there are the Church House Negroes and the 'Feel' Negroes...What we missed in the telling of their story, is that some of us are taught and others are intuitive...We feel things...
Some of us needed to be guided and some of us are guides...we must pay attention to the fact that it will take all of us...Like my friend told me, we must first get reacquainted with each other...not out of anger, but out of love...Love will keep us together...
If there be no enemy within....then the enemy outside can't harm us***African Proverb
You Feel Me....

Black n Proud!!!!
I remember when we were colored
and here are the colors
That I saw in me
First is the color Green
You see, Green for me is not envy
Because that is not in me to be
But when Green
I am my family's legacy
That leaf upon their tree
When I am Brown
I am their soil
The earth which holds their root
And when I am Orange, that is the season
of Harvest
Now their seed spring forth Good Fruit
When the sun rises to his highest,
That's the Golden Time of Day
And my skin reflects this moment
As I bronze beneath the rays
The only Blues I saw were midst the heavens
And God's mercy kept it that way
And when the night comes,
and darkness Embraces Me
And the stars replace the clouds
I hear God say
it is your Blackness
And Being Black, Is Reason For Being Proud.

Purple Reign
Look, if you were born in and lived during the 60's, that would be, in my opinion the decade for Love. That seed was planted. Why was there so much Love and Peace moving through those years? Because, The Man made a covenant to rule for 2000 years. Little did he know, that 2000 years was nothing for a people who live in a world with no space nor time.... We have been here for millions of years, hell, since time itself...with Time, we are the true no limit soldiers...and those born in the 60's would no longer be children in his final days. By the year 2000, these kings and queens would be grown enough and wise enough to take their crown back. Hatred and Lies will no longer have control over the minds of the people. The fog will be lifted and the veil removed and LOVE will join hands with TIME and TRUTH will bring about PEACE that will save the world. Prince said that he would party like it was 1999, because, he knew that this acid reign would be over. And it was acidic, because it eroded the true nature of our people, their goodness and consumed their hearts with greed and filled their minds with lies, and rocked their souls to sleep. So, today I party like it's 1999, as a matter of fact, it is time for PURPLE REIGN. And Alice Walker wrote the Color Purple for just this occasion, each chapter started with Dear God and with her liberation she said: " I may be poor, black and I may be ugly, but I'm HERE". We are here, always been here... Just, listen to the music filled with the spirit of that era...War what is it Good for, Absolutely nothing, say it again....Father, Father, there are too many of us dying, war is not the answer, For only Love can Conquer Hate.... say it loud, I'M BLACK AND I"M PROUD...I'm so mutha freakin Black...I'M PURPLE....SO LET IT REIGN....One Love

Power to the People
Fredrick Douglas once said, that he was no longer a slave to man, only to become slave to a society...little did he know it would be a society of black conformist...after King's death, black leaders bought yet another lie and went out and sold that one to the ppl...in his speech..."Where do we go from here?" made in 1967...King had more than a "dream"...King had a direction and a plan....but He also had a bunch of "scared" brotha's with him...(SCLC)...and that story repeats itself...Our scholars are not dead just silenced by fear of death...U can't deal with the issue of our ppl without dealing first with that Bible and that Constitution...
In a U.S COINTELPRO policy document it states that after Martin Luther King's death that "There will never be another black messiah unless we create him". and in order for there to never be another black messiah, reflects the concern over their existence...what is a "messiah"... but a "messenger"...
We all know that U.S. COINTELPRO was nothing more than the "terror squad" of propaganda and lies..."The Gustapo"....they couldn't create a "black messiah", they could only create a "black mess" and even that, they could not do, without the help of black ppl.....Audrey Lorde says, divide and conquer in our world must become define and empower...so lets try that before we become instruments of our own hell-a-caust...their entire existence is built upon this premise...
truthfully...u'd be amazed at what black ppl, who say they love black ppl, would do for money...
We must acknowledge the continued mis-education of not only our ppl but the world. The way to enslave any ppl is through mis-education and religion, when both are rooted in lies and one re-enforces the other then the truth is difficult for the masses to see, hear or understand. We must learn to interpret and translate these chronicles of history for ourselves. In America it was the Bible and the Constitution that enslaved black ppl, those same two doctrines have the power to liberate. But only when used as tools for liberation and not oppression. Man has used them for evil, now they must be used only for good...for the good of our ppl
Even when u have achieved ur liberation, u must not make a mockery of those who have yet to gain their freedoms, through this better understanding...that in itself is an apish mentality...we must bring forward that which is most needed for our ppl...That which has sustained our people...Black Love...it is our own "Sacred Weapon"...Our "Weapon Against Mass Destruction"...Some can only see in others, what they first saw in themselves...
I am neither blinded by my blackness nor weakened by my love...I am just convinced of my power from both...
