The RBG Black Conscious "Pastor" Hustle

I firmly believe we have "Pied Piper Syndrome" in the Black Community. We seem to love being led by the sound of charismatic voices regardless of how many lies they tell or how much substance they lack. We do the same thing with music and bump to the funky beat while the empty words mesmerize our minds into a tailspin of stupidity, but "that's yo jam!" Any philosophy, religion, ideology, or otherwise can be seen as lies or false if those proclaiming it are living in abject hypocrisy and stark contradiction to it. Everyone isn't living foul or running game, but the good ones who are living honest and doing righteously don't seem to often get the same respect as the bad ones folks seem to prefer just like worthless lyrics covered over by a nice beat. Like mice hypnotized by the sound of the melody many of us blindly follow these pro-Black "Pied Pipers" going nowhere but in circles while feeding their narcissistic egos, funding their financial schemes, and making excuses for every wrong they do or lie they tell.

There Is No RACISM In America

ATTENTION: There is no racism in America. It's a perfect Utopian society. The Native Americans who were here first were vagrants and loitering. The land was open for the taking, but being fair businessmen the colonists paid for it; even though they paid practically nothing by creating contracts with native folks they knew couldn’t read or understood their language. This magnificent government of the United States of Amerikkka kindly gave them reservations on the land that was already theirs so they could one day build casinos which the government keeps trying to tax even against their own laws. All America wants is the rest of their dignity. That's not a lot to ask considering all they've "given", or is it "taken"? I can't recall. Anyways...

So You Have a Problem With "Black Lives Matter"?

Why is there so much onus on the Black Community to do more to clean up its neighborhoods when we don't own most of where we live or are given equal opportunity? That same expectation isn't put on White Communities. Our taxes pay for lawful protection too but we get government terrorism and police brutality too often instead. When we say "Black Lives Matter" a chorus of folks jump up in opposition to say, "All Lives Matter." If so, then why don't they also stand up against the injustices done to Black People as part of the "ALL"?

The Wrong Way to Unite The Black Community

Trying to attack an individual's religious choice during a major group crisis IS THE WRONG WAY TO UNITE THE BLACK COMMUNITY! The manner in which the above pictured book is most often presented to Black People is as an attack on the Christian faith and Black Christians under the false pretense to liberate or enlighten them on what is erroneously called "the white man's religion." It's great for historical research to know how white people thought during slavery, but it is not used for historical research as much as it is used to try discrediting Black Christians in particular for being Christians and to try discouraging any others from becoming Christians. These same types of things cause divisions among those who are trying to unite within the Black Community, and can be fatal to any attempt at "Black Unity". Again, THIS IS THE WRONG WAY TO UNITE THE BLACK COMMUNITY! You will fail, and fail completely while we remain in the same conditions as a people together regardless of your beliefs.

One last thing, WHITE PEOPLE...

Before I take a short break to collect myself from the stress of the recent tragic events in our nation I need to say this: "WHITE PEOPLE", I spend more time addressing Black People because of my common familial bond with them, but I don't trust the "White Community" in general to do anything to stop racism or stand beside the Black Community in fighting against injustice. There are some exceptional individuals who do stand for what is right regardless of skin color, and I love them irrespective of color because they respect & love me the same way so I'm not talking about them. However, they are a very small few who's voices get drowned out by the majority of you who choose to say and do nothing, or who choose to speak out against the victims of injustice & brutality. You blame us for the evil done to us but then cry and get outraged over the deaths of gorillas & lions while expecting us to cry for your children?! In response to your hypocrisy most Black folks feel like, "Hell naw to the naw naw naw!"

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.

Sodom & Gomorrah U.S.A

The violence in the world is never a surprise to me anymore, but the insensitivity to the suffering of others who are victims of it by those who claim to be morally upright or godly is always a disappointment. "Sodom and Gomorrah" represent actual places that were subjected to divine judgment, but for much more than what most folks zero in on that makes their story famous. Sexual perversion was not the only abomination Sodom & Gomorrah was guilty of, nor is it the first thing mentioned when God Almighty gives his reasons for why he destroyed them in judgment. Sadly, The Most High couldn't even find ten righteous people for whom he would have spared the whole for. History has a funny way of repeating itself if we're not careful, and we're even worst.

Black Truth & Fiction... ROOTS

I tried to watch the new "ROOTS" miniseries remake but I can't watch the whole thing and don't like certain subtle messages in it. I don't knock anybody else for watching it, but I just can't do it. I still haven't made it through "12 Years A Slave" and probably never will because these movies anger me deeply no matter how historically accurate they may be. I'm aware of the true history and brutality of Western Colonial slavery, but no amount of stories made into movies will ever get the descendants of the architects of these European colonial powers who colonized & enslaved others to admit the criminality of it and set things right that their ancestors made wrong.

An Open Letter To (Some) Christian Preachers

AN OPEN LETTER TO (SOME) CHRISTIAN PREACHERS:  I haven't said much on ministry or Church issues lately but recently a few folks who call themselves by these various titles of some kind of preacher have gotten my attention because they have been up to no good with their same old self promotion without any humility, so this is directly to them. There's no need to comment in their defense unless you follow them and feel you need to defend your own bad decision for your seared consciousness sake because you're convicted, yet trying to justify your bad judgment and lack of discernment in supporting them. No matter how sincere a person started out what makes them false now is the fact they continue to teach false doctrine while leading a false lifestyle. Don't let fame or acclaim fool you or you're just a fool being easily fooled; which is what they count on. Now on to these preachers...
