In the book of Leviticus chapter twenty verse 6, God commands the children of Israel not to go after familiar spirits. The Hebrew definition of a familiar spirit is a wizard, a one who practices sorcery. One of the spells that a familiar spirit cast is to mix truth with falsehood. African slaves who were brought to America, the Caribbean and their descendants have been victims of familiar spirits. The “Slave Bible”, was a familiar spirit manifested in the physical form. A sinister plot was put into motion by the publishers of the ‘”Slave Bible” to carefully remove certain chapters from the bible while others remained, thus giving the illusion that the “Slave Bible” was o…

For starters: I'm Black American... My grandfather's grandma was an Ashkenazi Jewish woman from Lithuania. I started an ancestry journey and discovered this after so many people kept asking me, "What are you?" for the longest time. The question always threw me off because I never identified and saw myself as anything other than Black. But even in NYC, where diversity is nothing new...people would question my origins. At first I just thought it was because I have wavy hair. But when people began pointing out other things like my bone structure, undertones of my skin, etc. I was like OK maybe there is something in my family's past that I don't know …

I knew Amazon plays a big role in the sale of bootlegged books, but it seems the platform is indispensable to criminal networks. The reality is that Amazon itself is a criminal enterprise. https://www.wsj.com/articles/cvs-home-depot-theft-organized-crime-11630505851

The following rant was taken from an earlier discussion I had with Troy about conspiracy theories and why so many Caucasians today are ready to believe in conspiracy theories while so many AfroAmericans today are NOT and are ready to dismiss them. I don't know the percentage...most, half, a minority...I'm not sure but I think a large number of our people simply DO NOT CARE about their community or even their own children. I mean they literally DO NOT CARE. They are not interested in things....true or false....that affect AfroAmerican community, only that which affects them PERSONALLY. As long as THEY have some money in THEIR pocket, a roof over t…

What the general public is unaware of and needs to come to terms with is that there is no room for information which cannot be proven in the world of historical research. History is a science. And for those who conduct historical research seriously and treat it as a science, gather historical documents, news articles, journals, court cases, diaries, letters, and reference sources all of which their conclusions are based. It is this method which I used for determining the character of Christopher Columbus and charging him with crimes against the Indian people of the West Indies. This article is the product of records which will clearly point out, that from the very beginni…

Who would ever think that people in Lake Tahoe and California would be devastated by the raging fires that seem to be unstoppable? It is reported that at least 15,000 fire fighters are working day and night to extinguish the deadly Caldor fire. There is no question that these brave fire fighters must have gas mask to protect themselves from smoke inhalation. But how many people know including these fire fighters that a Black inventor invented the gas mask which operates according to the same principles as the gas mask use today. This inventor's name is Garrett Morgan. He invented the gas mask during his day it was known as a smoke helmet to fight fires. The purpose of t…

The email below was sent to me by the Wall Street Journal. Now You can guess the skin color of the people and social economic status of the people exempt from the rules Facebook imposes on the rest of us. Why Black people (any people really) continue to willingly provide free content to enrich Facebook AND subject themselves to this is beyond me: Mark Zuckerberg has publicly said Facebook allows its more than nearly three billion users to speak on equal footing with the elites of politics, culture and journalism, and that its standards of behavior apply to everyone, no matter their status or fame. In private, the company has built a sy…

Every since the end of the Civil War/Reconstruction, political parties have always have had to make the choice between egalitarian interests(civil rights) and states rights (exclusive rights). This is something that both Democrats and Republicans have always been aware of this at different points in their history. Today, the Democratic Party is the progressive pro equal rights party. But, this has not always been the case. From Andrew Jackson to Woodrow Wilson, the Democrats were pro states rights, pro slavery, pro Civil War, and pro Jim Crow. From Reconstruction to 1960's Civil Rights Movement most Southerners voted Democrat because they blamed the Re…

THE ISRAELITES-- Song by Desmond Dekker and the Aces-- I heard this song a few weeks ago on a dvd I bought for one dollar from a local Dollar Tree store. I loved the movie, it was awesome. And this song was at the beginning of the movie. At first, I did not understand the lyrics at all, but it just stuck in my mind and I found myself listening to it over and over again. The film was a UK film called "Made in Daghenam" and it's based on a true story set at the time this song became very popular. I loved that movie so much, I have watched over and over again! Finally after hearing that song at the beginning of the movie, I finall…

It's not easy to challenge racism or work for positive social change. Most of us are just trying to live and work regular lives. Being an activist or running for elected office is an impossible task for most people. Maybe black people are no different from anyone else in this regard. At the same time when you look at the black community blaming all the problems solely on racism or economic injustice doesn't make sense. Black people mess up like anyone else. We succeed or fail based on individualism as much as fighting against racism. There are things we must do as people beyond struggle. These things are moral and spiritual. Other issues can be addressed by black communit…

Greetings! I would like to introduce my book, The Church of the Cosmic Mother: Metaphysics For the African American Seeker, to be considered for a book review. ISBN13: 978-1980973461, originally published March 9, 2015. The Church of the Cosmic Mother is a guide to African American spirituality for the 21st century. Combining metaphysics, science, philosophy and a strong dose of Black Nationalism, it is an antidote to the dogma implied in monotheistic traditions that black is evil. Rather, it introduces the concept of the Divine Feminine as the lost connection between our blackness and our holiness.As a metaphysics book, it is primarily conce…

I dunno, but either this guy is a genius or nuts. The Oxford Union proves a tremendous platform for his to express his theories. In the past Oxford Union hosted Brothers like Jimmy Baldwin and Malcolm X.

In addition to me being proudly African-American, my great grandmother was Indigenous Sami - she was one of the many Sami people who fled Scandinavia to escape the genocide that was occurring at the hands of White oppressors who infiltrated their lands. Many people can tell that I'm "mixed with something", but don't know who the Sami are. lol It's kind of a random mixture/heritage - considering most people in America are a mix of White/Black and maybe a little Native American. So when you say "Sami", you really have to explain the history and educate people each time. lol. But it's kinda cool because they always seem intrigued by the story since it's completely new to the…

There seems to be no functional relationship or cooperation on sustained basis between different communities of black people in the United States in the struggle against racism: African Americans, Africans, and Afro-Caribbeans. The initiative in the quest for solidarity among these groups seems to come from us, African Americans, although black people from Africa and from the Caribbean who come to the United States as immigrants and as students face the same problems we do as victims of racism. Solidarity with Africans on our part was demonstrated during the struggle against apartheid when African-Americans mobilized forces across the United State…

This video is sad and resonates because in 1978 or '79 I experienced something very similar in the same borough of NYC. My girlfriend, at the time, and I were walking, not too far from her neighborhood, just like these kids were doing on their bicycles. It is something we did as kids—explored our surroundings. We were not surrounded by a mob but white kids started throwing rocks at us and made it clear we were not welcome and would not be allowed to walk on their streets. When you get a mob involved things can really escalate quickly. If the camera's were not around things could have been much worse for these kids. If they were livi…

We already read about dark skinned-women being discriminated against and given a bad time. I wanted to change the game on several fronts with Ruthless Pamela Jean. Instead of being bulled for being too dark, Pamela is bullied and nearly killed by bullies for being too light. I loved writing this book. I aimed to make the bullied stronger through Pamela Jean. Her father was not in the home. Her mother was just plain tired and had given up. By 8 years of age, Pamela made a decision. She decided to work on helping herself. She set goals to indoctrinate herself into a man's pimp game and changed the world. Pamela also realized that when men leave some women, there are a conti…

It seems the prospect of alien visitations are likely given the variety of sightings that have been reported. It does not seem like anyone cares very much. It is like the country uttered a collective, “meh.” Why should I be surprised; 600,000 dead Americans from COVID doesn’t invoke alarm, why would little green men?
