The Black Consciousness Community Trap

The "Black Conscious Community" is the perfect "Venus Fly Trap" for any Afrocentric Black person oppressed by racism, seeking identity, and who has been disappointed or hurt by the so called "Black church". It is also a haven of escapism for those who never truly believed to begin with even if they were so called ministers in the church.

Why Pro-Black Anti-Christians Will Never Lead The Black Community

To my "Black" Muslim, Kemetic, Hebrew, and Atheist brethren in general: Until you all learn how to leave "religion" out of the equation in conversation about Black Empowerment you'll never help Black people, and our community will never be united. Religion is deeply personal and we're too emotional. Let your religion govern your behavior. Two-thirds of the Black Community is Christian by "choice", not by brainwashing. When you publicly attack people's faith, as you often do to Christians, you alienate more than half of the community you claim to love. The "trap" you fall into is offending your own in such an unwise way. Because of you I've just about given up on ever achieving a unified Black Community. The greatest dividers of the community are Black People like you. The government doesn't need a new "CoIntelPro Program" because they have you.

BLACK POWER - What Is It?

BLACK POWER!; WHAT IS IT? The term "Black Power" was first brought to public light by author Richard Wright in his book titled "Black Power" in 1954. It would later become popularized in 1966 by the late Stokely Carmichael, aka Dr. Kwame Ture, during a nationally televised speech on June 16, 1966 in Greenwood, Mississippi surrounding the shooting of James Meredith. During the speech Dr. Kwame Ture (Carmichael) said at one point, "Don't be afraid, don't be ashamed, we want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! We want Black Power! That's right, that's what we want and we don't have to be ashamed of it."

Christianity is NOT The Black Community's Problem, But...

BLACK COMMUNITY:  Christianity is not nor ever has been the Black Community's problem, but "White Supremacy" and division among us is our problem; not religion. White Supremacists don't have the same kinds of divisive discussions Black People have when it comes to oppressing us, religion, or their rights and protection, but we can't seem to help ourselves and just stay more divided by offending each other on a regular basis while going nowhere over these same issues. How is it they can put aside their differences to conquer you but you can't stop insulting your own people because of our differing beliefs? That's what you need to wake up from. Every white person is not out to harm you, and every Black person is not for you.

How Does The Black Community Unite? (The Short Answer)

Whenever I've made statements about the necessity of unity in the Black Community for our advancement and to effectively combat the injustices against us the number one question that gets asked in response is, "HOW do we make this happen?" Often it seems as if I can hear the frustration, anger, and sadness behind the question being asked because I've felt the same way. In spite of all our many great achievements a "unified Black Community" is the one thing we have yet to accomplish, and it is the main thing those who oppose us fear most. Based on my experience it seems impossible, but nonetheless we have to make it happen because our survival depends on it. Until we get together we'll never be able to get it together. Without unity we can't save our community. We cannot face and overcome the regular crushing brutality and injustice against us as a divided people. So, "How do we unite?" Here's my answer to the question (take it or leave it):

An Open Letter to Black Christians Critical of Other Black People

It's not easy being a Black Christian with a revolutionary mindset. You are called a racist by insecure & insensitive white folks on a regular basis. You are called an "agent", "Uncle Tom", "coon", "brainwashed" or worst by other non-Christian Black People. You are criticized for not being enough of a Christian and too Black by other Black Christians. Your choices become either sellout and start buck dancing for white folks, or renounce your faith for Non-Christian black folks, or act like your skin color is "clear" and be willfully blind to the social injustices against Black People in order to please black church folks. Well, I'm not doing any of that so you can forget it. I'm going to be who I am whether you like it or not.

Dear BLACK PEOPLE, in the year of 2016...

Dear BLACK PEOPLE, in the year of 2016 please stop doing commercials or other publicity that makes you looks like happy slaves cooning and buck dancing for chicken, income tax refunds, hair care products, and anything from fast food restaurants that is bad for your health. Let's stop the violence, murder, abuse, parental neglect, male chauvinist misogyny of our women, ultra-feminist disrespect of our men, and crime against one another. Stop the incessant debates over religion that further divide us to try proving which is more "pro-black". You can research and decide for yourselves what you want to believe in without insulting everyone else because their freewill choice doesn't agree with yours. Religion, philosophy, and science aren't the problem but people are the problem regardless of their color or ethnicity. The Black Community too often deifies white supremacy, and sounds as if it suffers from an inferiority complex that is massaged by pro-black revolutionary tirades which are ultimately nothing more than venting.

Black Accomplishment???

Dear Black Community, it is time out for using mainstream or social media as a platform for public and unfruitful never ending religious or intellectual debates. You can contact each other more discreetly for sincere discussion on such things. While we're debating our different spiritual philosophies such as Kemet, Islam, Hebrew Israelites, Christianity, and others we're falling behind in our common struggle as Black People. I do not have time for any more of these redundant and exhausting spiritual or intellectual "battles" on what to believe about God, who is the "blackest", God's existence, and what is the "white man's religion". Whatever your view, it may have helped you personally but it has done nothing for us collectively. The religions our ancestors believed in Afrika didn't keep them from being enslaved, and the ones we learned after our enslavement didn't free us as we needed and are still in need of. We've already been surpassed by Hispanics as the 2nd largest ethnic group in the U.S.A, and by 2025 it is estimated by some accounts we may also be surpassed by Asians. Our abortion and disease rates are rising and we're in serious jeopardy of becoming insignificant on our way to being non-existent.

Black Nationalism

This is and will be my platform apart from and secondary to my Faith:

Black Nationalism - is a "Pro-Black" political and social-economic philosophy to help Black people independently achieve social equality, economic empowerment, and governance of the politics within their own community. Being "Pro-Black" does not mean being "anti-white", but that the interest of Black people as a community socially, economically, and politically comes first in the governments of men regardless of religious ideology or other beliefs.

Can I Be Honest About "Us"?

It has been said that if you want to hide something from Black People just write it down or put it in a book and you surely will. I hope that does not hold true for all those who read this writing which is poured out from the depths of my heart to the Black Community worldwide. I still believe in the written word to communicate information and its use for study as the prophets, scribes, and authors of old before me. I humbly request you take the time to read the words put forth and give them sincere consideration. Thank you. 

Unity or Death!

Whenever a racial incident occurs it has become commonplace now that the two biggest disappointments, at least to me personally besides all the "sellouts" and traitors "cooning" among us in the Black Community, are the spiritual leaders (primarily Christian ministers) and White Christians. They are both used against us to keep us in check or from getting out of line, and from effectively challenging the oppressive system of "White Supremacy" against us in our defense. Other religious leaders of different faiths tend to be more demonstrative and polarizing, but make Christianity the enemy while not offering real comprehensive solutions to solving these issues we are facing short of having a "Race War". Their other offering is often in emotionally galvanizing others to take ill thought out actions to seek revenge which will only lead to a cycle of gang like retaliation that causes more innocent lives lost.

"Real Niggas" Are The New "Uncle Toms"

"Real Niggas" are the new "Sambos", Uncle Toms" and true "sellouts" in the black community. "Sambos" were black people who despised their own people so much so that they would spy on them and sell them out for their white masters & overseers. In modern day terms they are often called "agents", and were the primary cause for the failure of every slave revolt by black slaves. They identified their own well being with that of their master or white folks, and ingratiated themselves to white people against black people.

I'm Having A Hard Time Hearing You "Brotha/Sista"

Let me say this clearly: WHITE POLICE OFFICERS UNJUSTLY KILLING BLACK FOLKS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH BLACK FOLKS ADDRESSING BLACK ON BLACK CRIME, SALVATION, OR OUR COMMUNITY ISSUES. You can make all the speeches or posts you want about "our" issues and preaching the gospel but that is not going to stop the police from putting a bullet in you or beating you to death. If you say the gospel is the solution and we need to preach it and live it then make sure you take that same message down to the local police station and preach it there too as well as on the steps of each city hall and state capital. We know "sin" is the main issue for all humanity, but injustice is a symptom of the sin we're in. If you're going to preach the gospel against sin then you can't ignore addressing injustice and truly call it the gospel.

An Open Letter to "Some" of the Black Community

To you of the black community who often come off as self-righteous pundits against the black community to make yourselves seem politically correct or appear as the "safe & non-threatening renaissance black man/woman" by constantly bringing up "black on black crime" to deflect issues of racism, police brutality, and injustice in our justice system against black people why don't you get off your "safe & non-threatening renaissance black behind" and go down to these same communities you condemn and actually help or send some resources. Most who talk like you feel they have "escaped", left that life behind, or risen above it all. Well then help someone else rise too even if that means rising right where they're at. I'm sure there are many that could really use your help. Why are you so eager to point out all of our problems and air out our so called "dirty laundry" while standing on your soapbox, but you won't use or offer any of the soap in your box to help clean the laundry?
