Things That Make You Go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????????

So, I’m having a discussion with my mother yesterday and I posed something to her. I explained the Kemetic “Bible” basically the story of Heru (Egyptian God Horus). I explained that the story paralleled the Christian story of Jesus….now keep in mind that Christianity was introduced to Egypt 60 AD….makes you wonder huh? Think about how we view the timeline for history using BC  and AD

It is commonly thought that B.C. stands for “before Christ” and A.D. stands for “after death.” This is only half correct. How could the year 1 B.C. have been “before Christ” and A.D. 1 been “after death”? B.C. does stand for “before Christ.” A.D. actually stands for the Latin phrase anno domini, which means “in the year of our Lord.” The B.C./A.D. dating system is not taught in the Bible. It actually was not fully implemented and accepted until several centuries after Jesus’ death.

Saying all this to say…..I posed the question what if the Bible that we cling to, quote and use to divide people is the same vein of all of our African history? How many Black churches have a White Jesus because a colonizer has taught us that Jesus was white because they could never accept a Christ out of Egypt? What if the story was changed to place Christ in a lowly place but just lowly enough for White pride to accept? (Bethlehem of Judea)….Think of the painting The Black Madonna painted by Evangelist Luke

Know what my mom said? Absolutely nothing….

I am not speaking against God or Christ….I’m a believer,  but, what I am saying is look at the facts and what you’re willing to accept

Football Fanatics Go Beyond the Black & White Of the Ref’s Shirts BY; KB 2.8.16

Let me just say that no aspects of racism and bigotry catch me off guard. I’m shocked when it shows up in the words and actions of people I associate with…..let me tell you…there are no greater showcases for racism and bigotry than politics and sports.

Let’s take the Super Bowl…it was obvious that both black and white hate Cam Newton…blacks because he won’t assume the role of the grateful docile negro. His talent, his braggadocio, his exuberance for the game he loves has somehow been interpreted as a slight to whites. He’s a talented player who knows he’s talented and he won’t celebrate the way whites and subjugated blacks want him to….How is Cam any different from Deion Sanders (Prime Time)? Didn’t hear too much about him. Sports enthusiasts, bigots and racists allowed a Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson? He admitted to sniffing cocaine on the sidelines in his oxygen mask….all you ever heard about him was people hated his outlandish fashion sense. Now let’s talk about football busts like Brian Bozworth…the crazy haircuts and sideline antics but his talent in college was a result of steroid injections that also killed his career. Let’s talk the insanity that is Johnny “football” Manziel…domestic violence, an addict out of control, and a major team distraction…very little press….then we look at Ray Rice, Ray Carruth,  Ray Lewis, Shawne Merriman, Andre Reed,…tons of press on their sordid details…..but you don’t hear too much about Alex Smith’s drunk driving, Joe Thiesman having his wife and mistress show up at the hospital when his leg was broken on televised game….

You don’t hear about how much time and money was utilized by the NFL to cover up CTE and how their legal machine damn near destroyed a black doctor’s career. You don’t hear about how much money goes to breast cancer every year when they throw a few pink garment in the game for the month of October….I never knew, until a couple of days ago, that the NFL was tax exempt. This is the same entity that has the power to make and break a city’s economy based on the greed of owners…case and point the Oakland Raiders…

Now, getting back to my point on racism, bigotry and my friends….I am preconditioned and predisposed to listen for the subtleties…saying things like He’s athletic -…excuse me isn’t he supposed to be an elite athlete? He’s in the pros! He’s brash and too outspoken….he’s been around yes men and future leeches  telling him how great he is…all the while waiting to capitalize on the greatness. Why isn’t he allowed to believe what he’s told, what is written about him? What is really being said is that people are afraid that he might wake up and interrupt their cash flow so he must present a certain way so that everyone can continue to get paid (sounds like slavery to me…)

What’s my point here?!!! We all love sports…it’s a way for us all to be “armchair active” either in the sport or be fake moguls in fantasy football…but we all need to look at the level of hypocrisy, greed and dirty dealings that keep the games going…

My Thought On Black History BY; KB 2.2. 16

Wow, so I happened to catch the tail end of Dr. Phil yesterday – the show was on the OJ miniseries. I don’t know who said it but I overheard one of the panelists say that Mark Fuhrman says the LAPD trained him to think as a racist….I heard that statement and completely lost all my cool. You can believe that “ish” if you want to….racism stems from a deep seated belief system….so if anything the LAPD enhanced what was already there.

We are ALL predisposed to some thinking that our parents taught us and their parents taught them….when we know better or learn better we respond accordingly. I have heard stories of white friends using the word NIGGER…one of my sisters friends did it and then told my sister she doesn’t see her as one. My questions are what is your line of demarcation? What defines that epithet for you?  How do you proceed with a friendship knowing that this ugliness is part of your belief system….and the sad part of it all is that this was a person from church…..you can talk and sing about Goad and love but the word NIGGER flow just as free.

My equally irksome experiences involve the PC people who will never come right out and say anything blatantly derogatory but all their actions and carefully scripted talk lets you know where they are coming from. I also have major angina with people who are so friggin’ liberal and understanding but still enjoy sipping from the cup of white privilege. To me it’s the equivalent of an “uncle Tom”  you know better but you just don’t want to make waves to mess up your good thing.

Black snobs and elitists…oh no I’m not leaving you out….some of y’all are brainwashed into believing that home ownership and designer labels are an entre…..check your mortgage rates and then check the times and statutes under the money lending…..I’m willing to bet some slick talking broker snapped you up under a minority lending deal which spells profit for a lending institution and that same entity will kick you to the curb with the quickness should their little housing bubble burst. 

There are many of you dedicated to the Greek community than you are to your ethnic community…..like the old joke goes…what do you call a black man or woman with a PhD? Dr. NIGGER….just ask Ben Carson! Always identified as Black Republican candidate or Black Neurosurgeon…..

Remember this from the movie Malcolm X :   Malcolm X: I must emphasize at the out start that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is not a politician. So I'm not here this afternoon as a Republican, nor as a Democrat; not as a Mason, nor as an Elk; not as a Protestant, nor a Catholic; not as a Christian, nor a Jew; not as a Baptist, nor a Methodist; in fact, not even as an American, because if I was an American, the problem that confronts our people today wouldn't even exist.

So I have to stand here today as what I was when I was born: A black man.

Before there was any such thing as a Republican or a Democrat, we were black.

Before there was any such thing as a Mason or an Elk, we were black.

Before there was any such thing as a Jew or a Christian, we were black people!

In fact, before there was any such place as America, we were black!

And after America has long passed from the scene, there will still be black people.

I'm gonna tell you like it really is. Every election year these politicians are sent up here to pacify us! They're sent here and setup here by the White Man!

This is what they do!

They send drugs in Harlem down here to pacify us!

They send alcohol down here to pacify us!

They send prostitution down here to pacify us!

Why you can't even get drugs in Harlem without the White Man's permission!

You can't get prostitution in Harlem without the White Man's permission!

You can't get gambling in Harlem without the White Man's permission!

Every time you break the seal on that liquor bottle, that's a Government seal you're breaking!

Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had!

Ya been took!

Ya been hoodwinked!

Bamboozled!

Led astray!

Run amok!

This is what He does....

Wake the hell up!!!!! We’ve got to get this right and come together to work for the greater good of man or perish as individuals remaining a collective of fools. An oxymoron in stupidity
