Yes, Whoopie had the same results!

JASMIN GUY, A Different World, on The Breakfast Club This showed up on my channel a few weeks ago. I loved this sitcom! And, I wondered what happened to it. I did not keep up with it back in the 90s because I was too busy with my family, however, it's nice to hear now, from Jasmine and Kadeem, and hear their assessment. This is a brief video of the interview, but it was actually much longer. In the longer video too, both Jasmine and Kadeem mentioned that, even though the sitcom was based around HBCU's however, they did not go to any! I found that to be 'head scratching!" I think that if they had actually enrolled and went to one, it would be a huge plus for the whole endeavor. IMO, that should have been stressed in that they should have put some kind of effort towards doing just that. Anyway, I was surprised to also hear that some people actually chose to go to a HBCU do to this show! I had already been going to college by the time I saw this show, I think[?] but I feel that it did a good job of depicting some aspects of it. I actually started out in another college but transferred. My experience at college, yes, an HBCU, was incredible. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

@richardmurray This is one of my favorite subjects and I've done a lot of research on this Dynasty 18 and believe that, as you have said, it was done negatively for a very long time. Scientist have long proven so many issues that surround the pharoahs of this dynasty but yet, this information is still be hidden. For example, published in the National Geographic, only a few years ago, was the DNA findings of many of the mummies found in tombs such as that of Queen Tiy, Amenhotep III, and more. Scientist know that Queen Tiy is as her name reveals, Hittite and that she had long straight red hair. And the famous picture of her was that of a wig that she word that came from the royal possessions of the earlier Egyptian queens. They know that Nefertiti is as her name reveals, Hititte, H-WHITE, meaning she was a White Woman. Also, historians continue to hide the truth in that Akhenaten was NOT the one who started this movement and that outlawed the Theban religion, however, he was just a pawn. THE EGYPTIANS WERE EXPERTS AT RECORDING THEIR HISTORY and so, the accounts of the 18th dynasty have been well recorded, and so detailed that accounts of its' history has been given to account for by a year-to-year account and even more so. So they know that it was NOT Akhenaten that started this Aten movement, rather it was his father, the pharaoh Amenhotep III. Nummerous records attest to this and he also changed his name to a new ATEN NAME. Amenhotep III started this movement not his son. His Aten name was THE DAZZLING ONE and there are many records about this time period that he started. Before he died, it was actually others that were prepped to assume the next in line, pharaoh, it was not Akhenaten. He was detested by his own people because he had a mishapen appearance. But, his older brother died young. Also, this Aten movement came from White People from Mycenae and as its name reveals, it was the forerunner of the ATHENS civilization that would form much later. Akhenaten did not start this movement but as the pharoah therefore, he became the main leader to allow it to be set up after the death of Amenhotep III. The actual head of this Aten religion was Nefertiti and her high priest Ay. This is why she is depicted as Akhenaten at times. She assumes the head of this Aten movement, however, the Original Egyptians began to protest and so, Nefertiti disappeared.

UPDATE! She lost her appeal! This hurts me so bad. I hope she makes it through. Ms Griner knew she wasn't going to get off completely, but her lawyer's had hoped for at least a reduced sentence. They were not happy and neither am I. Here's the thing though, now, the government, our American government can fight for a prison swap. She doesn't deserve this. This is so crazy.

@richardmurray yes, thank you. You write so well. Thank you so much for this.

Yes, Congratulations! Wow! This is awesome.

@Delano Oh Wow! Thank you! @Pioneer1 I don't know if you meant this to be funny, but I tell you... But anyway, all jokes aside, it's a concept. Oh, Love it that you call me 'your sister'. @Pioneer1 @Cynique My thoughts exactly. Love that article @Delano Even Einstein weighed in on this subject. His basis on it stems directly from his theory of relativity. Now, I can undertand that concept. Time is relative.

Oh! Love this! Okay so this helps me to explain what I understand a little better in what I mean when I say that TIME BENDS. Based on your statement, then a person in Australia would be able to see london THROUGH A BEAM OF LIGHT 10 hours into the future and before that person in London knows about it. For this reason, and through that beam of light, the person in Australia could actually TELL THAT PERSON IN LONDON, what they are going to do before they even do it! -- prophecy That person in Australia can see what a person actually did and could tell them ahead OF TIME!!! that they did it! So that, if that person in London knew ahead of TIME, then they may be able to change the course of their actions and by that time that the Australian saw it, the actions of that person in London and changed courses, lets say at the 5 hour TIME MARKER. So since TIME BENDS it could be visualized as a upside down 'U' shape TIME TRAVEL TUBE [i.e. SEAL] and at the bottom of the U a direct beam of light. At the top of the upside down U would be a 5 hour TIME MARKER. Now if the person in London decided to change a negative behavior, they would still be struck with the effects of the negative behavior and corelates to how SOUND travels slower than light. But, if that person still stays on their new and changed course of action, they will eventually experience the joy of that change. Therefore, the person in Australia could effectively help a person in London or NYC through being able to SEE IN THE FUTURE of things that have already happened and cause a few people to change the outcome by the time that TIME CATCHES UP to the actually origin of the movement of the negative act and thus will have completely CHANGED the negative and downward destructive behavior to have a more positive outcome by the 10 hour TIME MARKER. This is why I believe that TIME BENDS! And I believe that many things happening today are in fact, past tense. Many stars in the sky are actually MARKERS of very ancient events and some are MARKERS for very distant future events, etc. I believe that some people are destined to go into one direction or another, but it is based on past events. So, I love your interest in TIME @Delano It is intriguing but for me, it will take a while for me to understand it completely. Your method is through Astrology, that does not deter me one bit! Love it.

LOL! funny! @Delano Yes, that helps somewhat, but I think it will take some time for me to understand it fully. Here is one thought about what you said about bounding the ball; When I think about the ball bouncing and how 'light travels faster than sound', I IMAGINE THAT AT THE VERY TIME THE BALL BOUNCES, THEN IT WOULD HAVE LIT UP AND THAT LIGHT WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY BEEN SEEN ALL THE WAY IN LONDON OR WHEREVER, and then eventually the sound would be heard in London afterwards! Now after all of understanding that concept, then comes the next step!!! HOW TO MEASURE THAT LIGHT AND SOUND with respect to the distance from point A to point B!!! Oh Wow! That's a thought! But I absolutely believe you! Yes, I think I understand what you are saying but don't know if it helps me completely. Yes, it is difficult @Pioneer1 IMO because it is useful to know how time is measured. It relates to a lot of things. But, yeah, I agree, if Black people don't see that we are being mocked and debating over issues of thought when we are getting our butts kicked by racist, then we need to put the books down for a while. LOL.

@richardmurray Yes, I agree. But I've heard of her and did not know, though that Whoopie invested in a film about her. So true. I too am connected to what happened in the East Africa aspect of the Trans atlantic slave trade and the muslim involvement from that region on my maternal side as Lupita. My son ancestry test showed a lot of that in his blood and also, Kenya, India, etc. But I also know about the West African aspect too as my maternal grandfather came from that side. However, the muslim involvement hit Africa globally, the West African experience and the East African experience of the slave trade and with the Arab involvement as well. Based on my research, in East Africa, a lot of the victims were stolen and so, they were forced into the slave ships with no one getting paid for the victims, as is the oral story of what happened to my ancestor. Once she ended up in America, she was bought and so, at this time, I guess, the thieves were paid at this time. However, in West Africa, it was other Africans that were stealing other Africans in other villages and then they were paid byway of the Europeans in exchange for guns, gun powder and etc. What Lupita did in doing the research and producing her film was very responsible and all of African seems to be dealing with this subject and should no matter if it was east or west or south, etc. What happened in the Dark continent for hundreds of years IMO, will impact humanity for a long time to come. It was wrong. I believe that before films are featured, research should be done initially and especially when it comes to the slave ship trade. I just cannot wrap my head around lying and making a movie about women heroes that were themselves, seemingly enslaved and engaged in the selling of millions of other slaves. Human sacrifice is evil and should never be downplayed or excused away as a theme to change and make more money.

Yes, @richardmurray I believe this too. IMO, producers have to put out a lot of money, probably their own money, in order to produce films that are not big budgent. I saw the credits on the documentary that Lupita filmed about the Dahomy, and she produced it! It's amazing to me though, in that some Black people are angry about others who don't like this new film, however, Lupita said that she, herself, did the movie Black Panther, and at the time she did not know much about the Warrior women, and that was her reason for researching. She learned about the history only after she went to Africa and filmed and it did surprise her!

@Delano I am definitely interested, however, this is complex for me! You are very deep! I did not see this thread back when you posted, but I read through some of the other replies, and do not feel so bad now, because this is difficult for me to completely understand. I do think about the concept of time, a lot! So, I am going to think about this thread now, I can't get it out of my head. I think about time in relation to stars and know that scientist research about this subject is incredible. For example, a few years ago, I read that scientist have measured a certain star that exploded 6000 years ago and (I may not be explaining it correctly) but we only see the explosion now, in our modern time. That is crazy! I believe too, that (Again, I may not be explaining this correctly)--TIME BENDS, and what I am trying to say is that -- from one point A to the next point B, it relative and even though today, humans experience events today with respect to time being measured with relation to our solar system, however, the events have already occurred. I don't know if I am making sense, but I completely believe it, but don't have the right words to explain it. I also love what you wrote about Sanskrit and Hebrew script being associated with numbers. That is absolutely what I believe, tried to study in depth years ago, but it is challenging. I read somewhere that 'Sanskrit' was also spelled 'Samskrit' and also correlates to ancient Chaldea. Anyway, this subject is way over my head, but yes, I am interested and can understand 'a little' why you would know about this in relation to Astrology. Amazing!

I have been meaning to see Black KKKkansman and Hidfden Figures because I heard they were great films. Depressing. I remember in the past looking through some type of list trying to find the movie Roots, By Alex Haley; Yes, now I remember, it was many years ago when Block buster was open--I found the movie in the section ENTERTAINMENT. I just couldn't believe it. I have a hard time understanding why it would be in this section. Absolutely.

Happy to read this article on Lupita. She did not bash the film, she pretty much said that the role was not right for her. she wrote “I think to be culturally prosperous, to be artistically prosperous as a people, is to have options. I personally love a good Marvel movie, but it doesn’t take me away from really wanting the little character-driven film,” the Us actress shared. “I believe in the fight for those things to be kept alive because the one thing we always want, the ultimate privilege, is choice.” https://shadowandact.com/lupita-nyongo-on-why-she-decided-not-to-star-in-the-woman-king Love it!

@Delano Some awesome advice! Thank you so much. Ha! ha! Love this.

Thank you for this observation of me! @Delano And you know, finding a great concentration of people that would appreciate my research is the challenge! Ironically, a lot of my research, I feel would help ADOS and many who have not thought of reassessing the church, but again, that's a challenge. Wow! Thank you @Pioneer1! I really needed this. I might have been a little down and so, I looked over the points you posted and yes, before I got a little under the weather, I might have thought those things about myself too. Now though, I will re-align myself. My relatives are sometimes, I feel too hard on me and want me to be perfect for them, but they don't return the favor. My health is shot and it seems that everytime I try to work on myself, it's my family that seems to attack me and shoot me down. I think they would be upset if I were to lose some of these pounds I have added to my frame and get in shape. But yes, I am now in my 60s and really, I do feel that I could get back up and turn a new chapter in my life, I just need to focus and as @Delano suggested seek other avenues as well that might recognize my efforts. I happen to stumble across my old high school picture in a forum called classmate, and I just can't believe that I was so thin way back then. My hair is awful and LOL, I can see I was stuck on the Farrah Fawcet feathers. But this pic made me realize, I might need to hit the treadmill.

I sure hope so. she did send a message to say that she is hearing how folks over here are fighting for her and she says it has helped her.

Really!? Oh! She's got some problems. @richardmurray

What Does the Deer Have in Common with Humans? More About Solomon Was Solomon Black? Part II Mt. Hermon This is part II of an earlier research about the Book of SONG OF SOLOMON. This song written by Solomon also included the written account of the maiden, the Black skinned virgin. This canticle authored by Solomon and this maiden was so incredible that, obviously, the priesthood had it published to become part of the Holy Bible. So, in order to even understand a little of the genius of Solomon, there needs to be some background history to also consider. First of all, as revealed later in this very book, the maiden that also wrote her assessment of Solomon, of whom she clearly loved intensely, wrote later in time and she wrote from her memory about the days in how Solomon pursued her and how, in turn, she responded to his advances. But before the story of this song began, however, as revealed later in the book of SONG OF SOLOMON [i.e., SONG OF SONGS], Solomon first came to know about this girl much earlier because she was the very virgin that was found and brought into the bedroom of David, the king of Israel, to be a nurse. So, in the SONG OF SOLOMON 6:13, and in the Cambridge Concordance of this scripture, it has been revealed that this Black girl was the very same Shulamite virgin [i.e., Shunammite], named Abishag. More importantly too, after the death of David, she became the very wife of Solomon and not only did Solomon pursue her intensely but, Solomon gave her such an incredible and extravagant audience, whereby the people gazed upon an extraordinary event of Solomon and Abishag, so much so that this event continued to be in the minds of many people for years to come. Furthermore, this awe-inspiring extravaganza that culminated in a banquet hall and that was captured in the writing became so popular that it would also become the very modern-day back story of Cinderella. Just as part of the story in the fairytale of Cinderella included too, the presence of some oppressive relations had been written about in the book SONG OF SOLOMON. The virgin Abishag gave her account of how her relatives had oppressed and made her work for others under the intensity of the sun to the point in which she became darkened to become very black skinned. However, what many Black Christians have not been able to understand was that not only was this girl black skinned, but Solomon reveals in this very book in the Holy Bible that he too was just as black as she had been. Furthermore, this song includes the presence of the deer that explains an important theme of this book. Part of the confusion about this book in the bible has to do with the very first chapter and the many mistranslations in order to thwart the very message of Colorism. In the King James Version, the message becomes obvious because the maiden’s skin color has been anchored with, not one, but two metaphors, nevertheless, this scripture has been blatantly blasphemed by many authors and of other mistranslations. In some renditions the entire verse has been changed from the girl becoming completely ‘black skinned due to the sun’ to being only ‘tanned skinned’ or ‘dark skinned’ of which introduces confusion as to the true connection to her being African typed. The black skin of the maiden has been compared, not only to ‘the tents of Kedar’ but also to ‘the curtains of Solomon’, nevertheless, many other translations have completely extracted these metaphors in order to introduce White Supremacy and Colorism, the very message conveyed in the entire book by Solomon! In the very first scriptures, the story introduces that the maiden has been oppressed due to issues of Colorism and this message connects the entire book as it relates to the future prophecy of Israel and the coming of the ‘greatest beloved’ and the perfection of the temple and the Church of God. Therefore, if this metaphor of the black skinned virgin has been debauched, then the rest of the mistranslations of this book should become obvious and discarded especially because, Solomon later writes in depth about this maidens’ other physical qualities that connect to the traits of her being ethnic and therefore, these scriptures also become ridiculously mistranslated with the attempt to blot out the distinct ethnicity of the Original Israelites that Solomon indeed outlines in his book. This revelation that Solomon made about himself has been, mostly, completely missed because many Black Christians today are not taught in the Church about the reality of the issue of Colorism in any association with a creator. It has been a taboo subject due to the works of the Anti-Christ but captured right in the book of SONG OF SOLOMON, amazingly and with an ingenious approach, the author Solomon deals with this forbidden subject and anchors it with a scientific aspect. However too, the scripts have been sealed up for a time. Therefore, many Black Christians do not realize the brilliance in Solomon in how he not only wrote about the reality of Colorism as it was part of the Israelites communities but, he also sealed up the scriptures in order to confirm deep truths even amidst the adversary’s attempt to suppress the truth. And one main reason that Solomon may have had a deep insight into this kind of oppression was that he knew about it firsthand. Solomon was, not only the son of a very wise king that dealt with Colorism, but Solomon also became a very wise king and prophet himself. And so, when David, the king of Israel became old and his body could not keep heat, according to scripture, a party was organized to seek a young virgin to be able to warm the body of David as he slept. Therefore, it seems apparent that some of the kings’ sons, such as Solomon, may have been part of this entourage of men that went about the country to look for a young Israelite virgin and this would be the background story of how Abishag came to meet Solomon. Therefore, Solomon was obviously part of a group of Israelite shepherds assigned to that region in Lebanon, near to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, in a country called Sharon and these men struck their tents and kept their flocks for a season. So, the co-author in SONG OF SOLOMON, Abishag gives her account of those early days when she first saw Solomon rise to become the king of Israel: 7] Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? [8] If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. SONG OF SOLOMON 1:7-8. Verse 7 and 8 tells of the maiden going out and getting the nerves up to meet the shepherd of her desire, Solomon, and then he welcomes her advances: [12] While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. SONG OF SOLOMON 1:12. [4] He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. SONG OF SOLOMON 1:4. She refers to Solomon as ‘a king’ of which implies that he now has become the king! She has been welcomed into his realm and she sits at a banquet table and describes how she has been perfumed and made an appeal to the king. She blushes in her description of how Solomon gave her all of his attention. [1] I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:1. [2] As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. [3] As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:2-3. Eventually, the poem shows that there are at least two authors, the couple, and the scriptural verses are like ‘quotes’ in that they trade verses and express how they feel about each other. In verse one of chapter two (2), Abishag replies that she ‘is the rose of Sharon’ and this quality that she reveals was one major personality trait that Solomon writes made him attracted to her. The maiden basically reaches out to him and shares with him how she has been oppressed but then she toughens up and tells him how she feels about the mistreatment of being spawned because she’s black skinned. She tells Solomon that she has confidence in herself and with boldness, she describes herself as ‘the rose of Sharon’ no matter what her relatives thought of her. And so, Solomon heard her defense loud and clear! He then writes vividly and from a male’s point-of-view that he agrees with her and throughout this poetic song, Solomon describes her as being a perfect creation. Astonishingly, Solomon interweaved his love and also, the consummation of their union, and equated this union to the very consummation of the temple of God and the prophecy of the coming of Jesus Christ, of whom Solomon defines as being the Greatest [i.e., chiefest] Beloved. Solomon wrote this song when he was older and writes about the issue of Colorism that was not only an affliction in Israel, but it had been a contentious issue in the African world for hundreds and thousands of years as well. However, Solomon also wrote about the surprise behavior of his own mother and the selfish nature of iniquity that did pervade in many Black women too. Ironically, the negative reaction that his own mother exhibited against the young maiden shocked Solomon. Because Bathsheba took the opportunity with an attempt to dominate over her son from a matriarchal position and she gave out a decree that was almost like, a death sentence for the young maiden Abishag. Therefore, Solomon intervened to save her life. Bathsheba was earlier approached by Solomon’s older brother who had an hidden agenda against both Solomon and Bathsheba, but he flattered Bathsheba in his attempt to undermine his younger brother Solomon. Due to the petition put forth by Solomon’s brother, Adonijah, therefore, the Queen of Israel, Bathsheba, ordered Solomon to give the black girl to Adonijah and thus, throw the virgin’s life away as if she had no human value, like enslavement. But afterwards, Solomon approached this maiden with respect and courtship and, she made her own choices. Abishag loved Solomon all the more: [7] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [8] The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. [9] My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. [10] My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:7-10. Solomon pursued that girl intensely and she fell for him completely. In the previous verses, she writes about this pursuit and courtship and further writes about how Solomon came to visit her in her mother’s house. She writes about how the other shepherds were with him and were his bodyguards. She writes about how Solomon came to her house, and she gazed upon him as he appeared through the lattice. She writes later about how the other shepherds stood post as Solomon came inside of her house and also at his dwelling places, in his chambers and in his palace. She writes how Solomon fell asleep in her mother’s house at one visit, as the warriors stood post all night as bodyguards. Ah! Solomon bedazzled her! Most importantly, these scriptures in Chapter two begin to introduce how the science and nature of ‘the deer family’ has been intertwined in the song to define the identity of Solomon. The ‘roe’ mentioned would be a deer, male or female, however, ‘the hart’ would be a mature male dear about five (5) years old and the next verses show how the male and female has matured and now the time became ripe to take the relationship to another level: [11] For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; [12] The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; [13] The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:11-13. Mt Hermon [8] Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. SONG OF SOLOMON 4:8. Now, in the following chapters and throughout the rest of the book, a repetition of the mature female deer, the hind [i.e., also Doe, or Roe deer] and the mature male deer, the hart [i.e., buck, Roe, Roebuck, or stag] defines the presence and identity of the couple. More strategically would be the deeper reason tied to science as to the revelation of why the deer was equated to reveal more about the physical identity of couple. Repeatedly throughout the book the verses reveal details about the ROE DEER FAMILY and applies it to several scriptures: [7] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [16] My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. [17] Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:7, 16-17. [5] Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. [9] Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. SONG OF SOLOMON 4:5, 9. Fawn Twins *****My Note: The two twin fawns, male and female, are in the field together; they feed together [3] I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. SONG OF SOLOMON 6:3. More and more depth become added to the story, more and more information has been given to reveal the deeper message about the couple in correlation to the science and nature of the male and female roe deer. Therefore, in verse six (6) “he feedeth among the lilies”, further defines the theme as it adds to earlier verses. So, the verse in Chapter four (4) and verse five (5) ‘two young roes that are twins which feed amongst the lilies’ carries a dual theme and the phrase ‘feedeth among the lilies’ becomes a repetitive aspect to reenforce the deeper meaning. One theme would be the continued description of physical attributes of the maiden’s body, namely her breasts and another theme become an analogy. Again, this key verse becomes repeated and added to it for more definition. So, the verses, ‘two young roes that are twins’ and ‘be thou like a roe or a young hart now, reveals more in that one of the twin roes would be equated to the very beloved as a young hart that also feeds amongst the lilies! Therefore, what has been revealed would be that Solomon’s identity would be as ‘a twin’ to the maiden’s identity! Solomon’s maternal origins come from the same ethnic foundation as the maiden, and of which gave him the same black skin as well. To feed amongst the lilies, therefore, refers to Solomon being nurtured from the same origin! Both of the two young roes, the hind and the hart, were twins that fed amongst the lilies. This revelation would also support why, indeed, this young black girl was chosen to be the nurse for Solomon’s very father! And the scriptures also reveal that the people of Israel received this union and the Black beauty, Abishag, in a very positive light. And so, to enhance this revelation of Solomon’s physical appearance as being the same as the maiden’s therefore, Solomon begins to write and refer to her as “my sister”. Moreso, the turning verse comes in the last chapter eight (8) when Abishag adds a confirmation: [1] O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised. SONG OF SOLOMON 8:1. The maiden refers to Solomon as being like her brother and confirms the earlier message; ‘O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breast of my mother!’ She conveys that because Solomon was not her actual brother, other young girls (young hinds of the field) were jealous of her because of the attention she had gotten from Solomon, however, in this very verse, she likens Solomon’s physical appearance to her brother! So then, the deeper theme of the entire book revolves around the maternal origins of the couple that becomes a vital aspect in the building of the kingdom of Israel and of the temple of God. So, the verses about the roe deer completely connects the theme in this book in relation to the physical identity of the couple that also connects Solomon, the king of Israel to his maternal origin. Therefore, the pivotal point would be when the maiden refers Solomon to being ‘as her brother that sucks from the breast of her mother’ and the further revelation about the science of the deer family expounds upon this theme in the association of the couple being as twins. Because of the anatomy of the double uteri of the female hind, she mostly always gives birth to fraternal twins, one being a male and the other a female. This would be a scientific observance that has been known for thousands and thousands of years. To my surprise, I myself did witness this site, two subadult deer feeding together and at the time, I was amazed to see the little antlers of one but not of the other and after research, I understand! However, another astonishing aspect of the deer in comparison to human reproduction would be that it also corresponds to an additional scientific aspect in how the deer reproduction of twins correlates to very early modern human reproductive patterns. Like the roe deer, and in some human cultures, twinning becomes a common genetic factor. In certain cultures, like the Yoruba of North Africa, some cultures in India and even in a strand of Hebrew Israelites, etc., twinning was common and connects to a genetic reproductive pattern of early mankind for some particular reasons. So, this subject about twins opens the door to more biblical scriptures that reveal unique aspects about twinning. However, at rare times due to the diet and climate, a roe deer can give birth to just one, three or even more rare, some have been known to give birth to as much as five fawns at one time. Another rare event would be that a doe can also give birth to fraternal twins of the same sex. Nevertheless, in nature, a doe mostly always gives birth in the springtime to fraternal twins of both genders. Mama and her piebald fawns When it comes to white-tailed deer, twins are the norm. Deer have a two-horned uterus which allows the bearing of twins quite easily, said Jeannine Fleegle, deer and elk biologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Since they are from separate eggs, they are fraternal, not identical, twins. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/outdoors/2021/05/14/white-tailed-deer-fawns-born-across-wisconsin-spring/5080536001/ [5] I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Song of Solomon 1:5. ************ As the curtains of Solomon! ************ Lastly, upon a deeper understanding of the book of SONGS OF SOLOMON as a whole, and going back to the beginning, it should now become clear of the deeper meaning of the phrases, ‘as the tents of Kedar’ and also, ‘as the curtains of Solomon’. The words, ‘tent’ and ‘curtain’ in context refers to ‘genetics and reproduction’ and symbolizes a culture of people, the womb and coming through the birth canal. In another earlier scripture in GENESIS 9:27, the phrase ‘God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; …’ likewise, refers to reproduction of which the ancient Cleomene Egyptians are one of many distinct kinds of Egyptian-typed people that do show this kind of Khety and Semitic admixture of genetic history. And so, the reference to the maiden being as ‘black as the tents of Kedar’ has a popular definition of being like the tents used by an ancient people known as the Kedarites and this may be true, however, the scriptures actually refer to the phenotypic trait of most of the Kedarite people. They were a people known to be very black. Therefore, now the phrase ‘as black as the curtains of Solomon’ should be obvious. The word choice ‘curtain’ refers to ‘genetics’ too, however, it would reflect a more streamlined revelation and not the whole Israelite people but just one aspect. Expressly though, this revelation about Solomon does not equate to the Original Israelite people not being African-typed. However, as the Israelite people had a problem with issues of Colorism revealed in the very book, then the word ‘curtain’ refers to one unique trait about of Solomon, that of his maternal origins. Ultimately then, Solomons mother’s people and his grandfather Ammiel, were a predominantly black skinned people of that region in the Mediterranean world. Cont. part III conclusion. Mt Carmel, Lebanon [5] Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. SONG OF SOLOMON 7:5. [2] It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. ISAIAH 35:2.

I don't think I have any of these qualities. I wish I did though. I am a dreamer, but I think, that is a problem. I don't know how to take the dream to a level of reality to wish I can gain from it. nice post though. Food for thought.

Ha! I think you hit it dead on the head! @richardmurray!!! And you're right, many people may have taken this tactic to push the film so, it gets out there and it seen and generates a lot of money. I think too, that the true history behind the film may now resurface and that might be a good thing! According to Lupita, even though she played in Black Panther and new very well, the women warriors were based off these warrior women, she said that she did not know much about them until she travelled there to do the research, and it blew her mind! For her to see and film some of the true facts about them is just amazing. To see, first hand, the statues and collections of skulls of decapitated victims, is unbelievable to me. This movie means more than one aspect to different people, imo. I like the fact that it is causing the true history to surface!

Yes, this is my worries. They might be making a public example out of her both in Russia and here. If they are, that is so NOT fair. To jail her for 9 years for marijuana is just unbelievable. It's so inhuman. Exactly. We've been set up and many of us don't even realize it.

@Pioneer1 Yes, I graduated from high school in San Diego. My high school was very large and spread out like a college campus and the Black students were the minority, however, they were well known. My senior class was the smallest at 762 students, so if you can imagine, it was a huge school. I was so young back then and did not really realize the history of Black people in California, but now, I am very surprised to learn about it. There was definitely a lot of racism out there. I was so surprise to hear about the LA gangs and the late Nipsey Hussel's life. I just recently saw a short film on Compton, although I don't know if it's California or somewhere else. When I lived there, I heard a lot about Black people in Oregon and Washington State too. I loved the experience, but like a lot of Black people and my friends, we used to always talk about the east coast! Most of us wanted to moved back to the east coast. Sound crazy sometimes to me, but it's true. The music, the hairstyles, and many other products that became popular did not become part of San Diego until like, months later. If a song broke out in Washinton D.C. or North Carolina, then we didn't hear it until like, 3 months later. It would be old news by the time we got it. That's why I am so amazed at the rappers and etc. today, who became famous. It's so weird to me. Me either. True @ProfD Wasn't the Watt's riot out there in California? That's right! Tupac! Yes, partly true. But I grew and was part of Black communities. Like, East Diego was where a lot of Black communities were located, you know, literally cross the tracks. Ha! Did you hear about this!? Breaking News, Anti-Black LA City Councilwoman Nury Martinez Resigns

Thank you for posting this video, @Mel Hopkins, it was spellbounding! I was so caught up into it. Lupita is so lovely. The women were so so so beautiful! One of the women, the Agoutie woman warrior, had eyes like the late Mandela, in fact, the photos, seems to show this trait, and this strikes me and leads me to believe that some of these people are from the east world. The leopard idols and the skulls, and the headhunting expeditions, seems to match other ancient warrior civilizations, such as the ancient Maya too and in the Old Mediterranean Baal cults. Yes all that we can do is speculate as to why Lupita pulled out of it unless she says something. However, for her to go to Benin and produce this amazing film and then pull out, does seem like she may have pulled out for something about the truth. LOL! You're so rightt! However, that's me. I loved the film Black Panther, so much so, I bought the dvd. But I did not like some of the women warrior scenes nor did I like some of the fight scenes of the males either. I still don't have any opinions one way or the other about the Women King movie. I agree with the summaries given though, in the documentary and what you said, in that the Aguojie warrior women were both victims and warriors. I think that many of them were forced into it and as Lupita said, too, I think I probably would have been dragged into it because I am not a submissive person, and so, I would have been sought out and forced into it, I believe. Yes, @richardmurray maybe. You may be right because I don't have a problem with viola or the film, I just wondering now, what the hype is about.

Brittany Griner's Appeal; Will She Be Freed? I wonder if the recent news coverage are published to help keep Brittaney Griner on the front page in hopes to get enough attention so that the Russians will free her through some type of prison swap. Her appeal is up and coming on October 25. She was convicted for 9 years for possession of hashish oil. 9 YEARS!!! That is crazy! I hope she is freed. ______________________________________________________________________________________ The United States has said that her detention and trial were politically motivated and that the Kremlin wants to exchange her for high-profile Russian citizens held in the United States. https://www.yahoo.com/news/brittney-griner-increasingly-anxious-she-184052897.html
