  1. Gotcha. As Black men, we definitely have to keep our heads on a swivel and stay informed because the hits are coming from several fronts. Looks like Ye back on his BS again. This dude and Candace Owens definitely need to spend some time with the drop squad. 😎
  2. Lightning bugs on a summer evening. A lazy river swollen from a spring rain. The taste of honeysuckles. The aroma of wild grapes ripe on the vine. A collection of fantasy and contemporary fiction stories set in Southwest Georgia based on the experiences of author Milton J. Davis, Muscadine Wine is a personal homage to the land and Black people of South Georgia. Muscadine Wine ISBN No. 979-8985733631
  3. Oh really!? @Pioneer1 Do you know this as fact? I am inclined to believe you because Lupita is bigtime!!! There is definitely a reason that she refuse to play this role. I just listened to the video you posted, and would like to know more about the speaker. He was very passionate. He says pretty much that the Dahomey women fought other Africans but not the Europeans; is this truth though? It seems like Africa was swamped with so much activity of Blacks selling other Blacks to Europeans that in itself though is not altogether a negative issue; what I mean is that would be unavoidable and Africans should have tried to fight off Europeans from being welcomed to Africa for the slave trade, but then too, Black-vs-Black defense was necessary too. I hope to read more about the Dahomey, because like you, I do NOT trust this movie at all. No, I don't think I am in favor of this movie.
  4. Chev Because she found out the TRUTH about that tribe and how they were one of the ones responsible for hunting down Black people and making slaves out of them instead of saving them which the movie would have you believe. Hollywood is good at making EVIL look acceptable and even commendable. Infact, the name "Hollywood" takes it's name from the wood of the Holly Tree that magicians used to make magic wands out of. "… Deck the halls with boughs of holly .....Fa la la la la, la la la la"
  5. Man....the DROP SQUAD. I haven't seen that flick in a GOOD minute. It's been probably 20 years! Now I gotta dig it up and watch that tonight with some fish and fried rice....lol.
  6. First though before I reply I really really want to say I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I can't honestly express in words how much I LOVED these replies and this discussion oh my God I was/am ecstatic! I didn't know if anyone would reply at all or even care about this subject. Seriously you guys I am flipping sooooo appreciative, this is about to get real bc sometimes I face alot of times depression/suicidal thoughts because I just feel I have no place in this world, and I started on these forums and a good amount of other forums recently because I felt maybe there might be others interested in some of the same things I am interested in too. Reading these replies has been sooo uplifting and hopeful. Especially because the platforms I tried to share this with like Facebook have become so superficial I felt it's really impossible to play some part in trying to make this world a better place, then I thought facebook probably isn't the best forum for deeper thought, and discussions. Then I found these forums and am feeling soooooooooooo hopeful, just happy and exited. I know I shouldn't get depressed because everything I do, doesn't seem to help the world, and I alot of the time feel like I have no place, and that I should just keep trying but it really does help though when you find a place where everyone shares similar interests and wants to have deeper conversations. I JUST LOVE THESE REPLIES, and JUST LOVE YOU GUYS MAAAAAAAANNN!!! AWESOME FORUM! Ok ok I'll stop flipping out now, BUT STILL YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME I LOVE THIS FORUM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUCHHHH Ok really now though I will reply. YES I LOVE this message, for sure if you look into the Vadoma tribe pictured in the post, aka the two toed tribe in Zimbabwe,(also if you're interested in Kanye West, it's in the "Kanyemba" region of Zimbabwe, and after remembering a past life I have not really shared with anyone(because today there's already so much close mindedness about everything, that it seems most everyone isn't interested in the weird or paranormal, but I can share if you're interested more on that)(also I am sure Kanye subconsciously remembers this past life & many times wears contacts-easily searchable by googling "Kanye wearing reptilian contacts or alien contacts" that highly resemble reptilian eyes as a subconscious memory of this past life; even in the documentary about Ye, Ye said he is still working to resolve past life traumas, I really wish I could help, in that documentary, also he said he needed a translator, I fully could explain every single misunderstanding the world has had with Ye, I really have been translating to friends for along time, and know I could be/feel meant to be that translator) I am 100% sure it's NOT a coincidence, and I remember in that past life Kanye actually was one of main spirits with a human form, that made peace with someone else that had a reptilian form/bridged a divide, & reproduced with that reptilian that would mainly shape shift for Ye into a curvy blonde haired blue eye, body type, and started the Vadoma tribe in Zimbabwe). I know that sounds out there already, but I fully do remember this as a past life, and as proof I can say, I remember that the click sound spoken in Zulu/Xhosa which 100% is spoken in South Africa/Zimbabwe comes from the reptilian language; which is fully composed of clicks. And I know I can not literally give you my past life memories, but there are, I'm 100% sure people in Hollywood(also talking about Credo Mutwa, Credo Mutwa talked about this too in the interview with David Icke I'll provide links and hope administrators are ok with(maybe also later I can share the video that those clips are from in the original post) that shows also Credo Mutwa saying multiple times; how it is very curious that many people in Hollywood convey the reptilian form EXACTLY as it's known by teachings Credo received about reptilians throughout Africa https://youtu.be/2YSZ4PWMqNw?t=128. & Here is an experiencer named Charmaine featured on Ancient Aliens talking about the same exact form of reptilian but not even knowing it is a form of reptilian https://youtu.be/stCNsEdMS48?t=1760. So with Hollywood in mind and I am sure the very reason Hollywood is trying to convey these forms, is that there are some reptilians(not all) sometimes present in secret societies trying to bridge divides, re-awaken, and re-unite us all, I very STRONGLY sense that. And there are many movies that convey reptilians speaking with click sounds. A popular movie that has reptilians speaking with click sounds is the movie "Signs" which is pretty funny because we're talking about signs to re-awaken humanity, and in the movie there are signs everywhere for that. I don't think that was a coincidence either, because alot of ancient past is in that movie as well as well. So that's all the physical pieces of evidence, on top of the pictures, Vadoma tribe and the people with scales that you can google, I can gather to help show that absolutely there are many places humanity has interbred with reptilians. And that has resulted in Hybrid genetics in those cases. I thought to separate this reply to two parts, this is the second, on the subject you talked about of ashiness, sorry if this got long I just really loved these replies, no pressure to read if you're not interested. Also on the subject of ashiness I thought about this alot too, for the people with actual scales that you can google and picture, that really really have thicker skin, that is even green in color for some(pictured above) ashiness comes a little bit close to that, but I don't think it is related to reptilian genetics though. The reason being all humanity regardless of skin color can become ashy, I do agree too though that it happens more with dark skin color. Some have thought it's because of the contrast, I disagree with that though. I actually am born with sand/tan skin/middle eastern genetics, that I'm sure adapted to dry desert sandy regions, because the skin I have barely gets ashy in comparison to my friends that have darker skin, in the dry/non humid sometimes desert regions of Cali where I've been, especially on the elbows I rarely do lotion, unless it's really dry in Cali. It has to get really dry for my skin to become ashy, like if I stand in front of the AC, in a dry area my body will become ashy. I think if we traveled back to this ancient Africa, all our skin would be adapted to tropical and wet zones, because Africa used to be the start of the True Eden, or just a fully green Utopia, and also I mean where everyone originally had black/brown skin and then traveled across the globe and then there was a full worldwide Eden/Utopia, then later after a massive cataclysm and over 100,000 plus years all the other skin traits/features devolved. So I believe because of that humidity in the original tropical landscape, everyone now with dark skin has features adapted to that original tropical African landscape, and if someone with ashy skin now, was to go into this Eden type environment or a humid environment that exists in tropical areas, ashiness would be no more. I know for example that my body in humid regions becomes too oily, I think if we observed this we would see middle eastern genetics in humid/tropical regions= overly oiled skin, while African genetics in humid/tropical regions equals just right oil and no ashiness, so oil adaptations in the skin to different environments I believe is the key in this equation. Definitely though as talked about/pictured researchable there 100% are hybrid skin types though, in many places on Earth, with much thicker than average human skin, that have developed scales and extra thick skin, and also that humanity is a hybrid between Neanderthal type genetics/Grey alien type genetics which can be really clearly seen for anyone looking in as stated the first post. As ancient cultures did skull binding, & also had rings to make thin & long necks, or to emphasize thin and long necks. And how we today subconsciously do the same with our fashion sense/choices of suits and the skinny fashion type, cloths, cars, and sunglasses, calling this a cool or smart look, that changes our outwards appearance towards the Grey Alien appearance. Also on a cellular level and how humanity is evolving/becoming more bald towards the Grey alien, gender neutral form. As well as all the structures in alignment with Orion as the Grey aliens, or thought of as "gods" that visited from Orion, that in stories Navaho stories such as "From the Glittering World" (a Navajo story by Irvin Morris), the "gods" made man in their image, which also mirrors Genesis in the Bible, as well as taught how to do much, agriculture etc. Which is why both on Mars and Earth there are pyramids in alignment with Orion also pictured and researchable above. There's honestly so much I'd love to talk about regarding this but don't want to be a bother, I know if we were in person we could really talk about this in depth, even on the subject of hair, I believe Grey aliens designed African curly hair, I believe originally Neanderthal type genetics(like Ardi, Lucy and so on & yes many different classifications & names, I'm just putting it in an umbrella calling it "Neandrathal type genetics" because it's all very similar & Neanderthals came from those genetics in Africa, so it's just to save space) hair in Africa was strait, but Grey aliens altered the genetics to curly, to protect the brain as much as possible. And if you think about it the hair that is absolutely the 100% best at protecting the brain, is Afro-curly type hair, strait/barely curly hair does not come close. I believe hair only changed back to strait out of fear of accepting Truth and to increase the illusion of gender I believe. There is alot more to talk about that though and don't want to bother so I'll stop there and only say if you ask. Alot of these things I've seen with our greater sense of Oneness though, and everyone would need to travel back with this greater sense to see what I am seeing to relate/understand. I have been bringing all the physical evidence I can bring though for everyone that doesn't re-activate this sense/look through it, but it's why I made that music video presentation though to help re-activate that sense and help everyone see through that sense along with all our other senses to travel back into the ancient past; remember all these things as well as ultimately that we're all spirits/particles of energy/consciousness/light, manifest from an infinite Conscious Cosmic Oneness/Blackness/Uniformity; like an infinite ocean that we're all bubbling from/apart of, within and all around us, so this planet can finally heal and bridge all these terrible divisions/scars of history. And it absolutely is verified that the Sahara in Africa was 100% green and tropical at one point, there are many drawings/rock art that show giraffes etc., throughout the Sahara. And that area has a gulf next to it literally called "Gulf of Aden." I know many in the Middle East and throughout the world view Africa had the true garden of Eden, some dispute it, but I believe there was a worldwide empire that started in Africa, and I am just calling it a worldwide Eden, because Eden really means heavenly place of abundance, and it started first in Africa, then spread, until the Cataclysm, that we are still working to heal today so we can propel into the future we dream of.
  7. frankster Your theory echoes that of Herodotus who seemed to think the Colchians(Black Sea) were originally Egyptians now known as Georgians - Caucasians. He was actually close to being correct. He thought they were Egyptians who got lost up there on some expedition long ago and decided to just settle in the area. Actually..... Most of the Black people who dwelt in that region that he was referring to were the descendants of the Black troops SENT to that area to guard the perimeter and keep the Caucasians roped in the Caucasus after they were banished up there. These guards were sent all over the southern and western borders. Your Theory on the Flood story not being Global is incorrect. I didn't say it wasn't a global story. You should read my EXACT words. Troy yeah the food story predates the Bible. In fact wasn’t it in Gilgamesh? Because they all got it from the same original source. Gilgamesh is just the Aryan/Indian version of the same flood myth that the Jews and Greeks believed in. And just like the Aryan-Indians were Caucasian, so were the Jews and Greeks. Which is why I said all CAUCASIAN cultures share those same myths. You don't hear about ANCIENT (key word) Black, Brown, or even Yellow cultures embracing that flood myth.
  8. Yes.....Peoples of six Continents have a flood story - that's Global. Gilgamesh's is believed to be one of the earliest iterations.
  9. Speaking of alligators, this critter crossed my path on my way from my mail box.
  10. yeah the food story predates the Bible. In fact wasn’t it in Gilgamesh?
  11. Your theory echoes that of Herodotus who seemed to think the Colchians(Black Sea) were originally Egyptians now known as Georgians - Caucasians. Your Theory on the Flood story not being Global is incorrect.
  12. frankster When Musa/Moses went up into the caves and mountains to civilize the savage Caucasian, he didn't go alone. He went with a GROUP of people. Being from ancient Kemet clearly had ships and likely had advanced technology and probably even scuba-diving gear that allowed them to reach some parts of the Caucasus areas by sea or river. So it could be that some of Musa's men were dressed as a scuba/fish outfit to navigate water on to the land to teach and civilize a particular group. When the savages saw this they probably figured the people were part fish, looking at them being able to swim and come in and out of the water like that. Same thing with Jonah. Here was a man who to a group of savages standing on the shore looking at him.....looks like a fish is coughing him up on the beach. So they tell a story about or make a legend. When in REAL life he was probably just squirming out of his scuba-diving gear so he can get ready to teach the people. Over the years this story probably got split up as the various groups of Caucasians began to split up and go in different directions. Like most allegories and legends, these stories are based on historical facts. Now mind you..... They CLAIM that all of the ancient cultures believed in "Great Flood" stories. That's not true. The CAUCASIAN cultures found in different parts of the ancient world did....not the INDIGENOUS cultures. You don't find Africans or Native Americans talking about a Flood myth or a Noah. Only European, Middle Eastern, and India....places where Caucasians originally traveled to and settled.
  13. Based on my research, there is strong evidence that Moses, Oannes, Dagon, and Jonah are all related to the same story.....based on facts. The Biblical story of Jonah seems to have been taken BY the Jews in Babylon from earlier sources. Most likely from the Akkadians who had a similar story but the main character's name was Oannes. Akkadians were among the first Caucasians to found a civilization in the Middle East after displacing the original Black Sumerians. As you pointed out, the Philistines are another group of Caucasians who landed on the shores of Canaan and THEY TOO have that same story of being "civilized" by Dagon who was supposedly "half-fish". I have a theory behind these stories that tie them together......
  14. The Dogon of Mali is one of the most interesting group, when it comes to Exterrestrial visiting Earth. It is their belief That they are Descendants of Amphibious Beings from the Dog Star(Canis) Constellation of the Sirius (Osiris)Star system. As Proof they have and has displayed knowledge that confound some considered the Greatest of Modern Western Scientists. The Dogu of Japan, The Dagon of the Biblical Philistines, and Oannes of Sumer...... In short what we today popularly call Mermaids. Matsya. Echoes of .....Moses Jonah Noah and Nommo
  15. When I look at those of the African race, our skin and hair seem to be different than other races even if they are darker than us and I've often wondered could we be "mixed" with those who are extraterrestrial. Perhaps part Reptilian. The skin of most Africans seem to be rougher or "scalier" than that of non-Africans and this is especially apparent when it gets cold and we get ashy. It may also explain our kinky hair and why our pores are shaped in such a way that makes the hair come out like that. I heard Credo Mutwa talk about the tribes with the webbed feet pictured above and it makes me wonder.
  16. @Troy Professor Black Truth has a message for you and others who suggest that we need to "see" a movie or other piece of propaganda for ourselves before being able to intelligently critique it: I'm not wasting my money or time on PROPAGANDA and refuse to allow it into my psyche.
  17. Yes Mans inhumanity to Man is an all too common occurrence in History....especially in times of war. If you are at war it is not to make "a buck" but to save a life or lives usually your own or your kinfolk... If you do not see it printed anywhere then you not reading or looking...where did you first see it or learn it? These were African of different nationalities and or ethnicities. Similarly White Germans gassed imprisoned murdered and enslaved around 3 million white European Jews Russians and Roma in under 5 years European and Arabic slave merchants and markets fomented wars so as to coerce and maintain the continued supply of human cargo.
  18. Same here. I've been told the movie would make for a good date night idea. So, I'll round up and sponsor a woman who's willing to watch it with me.🤣😎
  19. I hope (and believe) this generation of boys can figure this out for themselves. Because too many generations in the past have brainwashed them into thinking they are good for nothing. Those who don't know their strengths aren't necessarily physical will always fail themselves, the Black community, and ultimately society. Custodial mothers, fathers, and even two-parent households who are wise enough to know what we don't know have reached out for help from those in the know. (not opinion-givers) And we have educated our children, especially boys, to know physical strength isn't enough in a society that requires intellect and problem-solving. Those children are our communities' success stories. Still, civilization requires Hypermasculinity coupled with hyperintellectuality in battle. And as history shows, it can occur in any sex when necessary and as needed. Sankofa. If you don't know your history, go back and retrieve it. Check out Nyabinghi. We, as a species, adapt to our environment for survival. It doesn't require anyone's approval. Those who don't adapt perish. The last woman Dahomey warrior died in 1979. According to historical records, Dahomey's army fought against colonization until 1892, that was about 200+ years of women and men fighting off European colonization. When the French colonized them, they made sure to subjugate women. Because subjugating women is an Anglo thing. Because - No Nation Can Rise Higher Than Its Women.
  20. @Pioneer1 one must ask, Have you seen the movie? Another Afrocentric Brother, who actually watched movie, recommended it without reservation. You do realize the Dahomey are well known for their all-female army which existed long before America was founded? What does that do to your theory of "...another attempt to brainwash Black women and influence them to be masculine and act like men. Especially Black girls."? Yes, Davis is a great actress 🙂
