Why do you keep living in the past? Why do you talk so negatively about the Caucasians? Why don't you just leave things in God's hands? Why can't we all just get along? Why be so "militant"? The number one rule in life is self-preservation. It is what makes you human. To preserve the knowledge of one's self (people) is to acknowledge your existence to the Creator (God), and the rest of the world. For it is that Creator who made you in the form he/she/it chose to make you for his/her/it's specific reasons. So anytime a person or people tries to change who they are by nature, or change another people's natural way of life, they are in direct conflict with the Creator of the universe. The absolute knowledge of self should be your primary goal in life, (Know Thy Self, as our ancestors vigorously taught)! Information concerning your past ancestry links one directly to finding that knowledge. It is that information (of our past history), that has been denied to us continuously at the hands of the Caucasian. No people on Earth can survive without the knowledge of their past. The Caucasian has a past of dominance over most other people of the Earth, and because they have always held on to that past, (regardless of how evil it may be), combined with erasing and denying the past of other peoples to them, they (Caucasians) have been able to continue their dominance in this world. Caucasians draw from NO OTHER peoples' past for their ability to conquer but their own! Their Greeks, Romans, Alexanders, Napoleons, and many others before and after these few ALL have left "blueprints" for their descendants to draw on heavily! They do, of course, use other people's past for their other ventures. Anyone who studies the smallest of history can see this to be factual. An example; Anthony Browder stated in his book, "The Browder Files", that "America is the only world power established on African principles. And African people were enslaved and force to build this country in order to bring these principles into manifestations." We also know of how the Greeks, after extracting the knowledge from our ancestors in Kemet (Egypt), would then take that knowledge back to their land, change it around a bit, then present to their people and the rest of the world as authentic. Dr. George James appropriately termed it "Stolen Legacy". The point is as long as Black folks refuse to reconnect with their TRUE past, we will never be able to rise as a people. I say "true" past, because our history has been given to us for so long by our conquerors, that even it is now totally distorted. Most Black people can't tell the story of us without beginning it at slavery! And as great were the accomplishments of our people in America many years ago, they were STILL the accomplishments of a conquered people. Just imagine how great we were while in our own land and under our own terms! Only those who are in total control of this world would not want you to connect with your past, for it would literally mean the end of their reign as rulers. Black people who reconnect with their past greatness would themselves become great, and would not tolerate anymore, the injustices being done to his/her people in this country and around the world. This is why the oppressors try to make you believe that integration and one world order is the best for all peoples. It is simply another one of their tools to maintain their White Supremacy. Any Black person who tries to connect with his/her past is an immediate threat to the White man. Whether it is through one's appearance, words, beliefs, actions, etc., any reconnection to our past frightens the Caucasian tremendously. Because they know that if Black people are allowed to make that connection and have the truth revealed to them as it should be, Black people will immediately return to glory. How does the Caucasian prevent this from happening? Simple. They make you believe that our past is irrelevant, unimportant, and filled with barbarism. They make you believe that any look of our past is "unbecoming" or "unprofessional". They make you believe that any worship of God that resembles the way of our ancestors is "paganism" or "polytheism". They have reprogrammed the minds of Black people on such a grand scale, that now the Caucasian doesn't even have to lift a finger to combat Afrocentricity, for most miseducated Blacks who are afraid to fight White Supremacy and wants to "excel" in it are just as afraid of Afrocentricity as the whites, and will fight the battle (of the whites) with more conviction than the whites! So to all the brothers and sisters who despite all of these Ungodly obstacles, continue to strive for the knowledge and guidance of our great ancestors, who continue to combat these oppressors without any fear of consequences, who doesn't shy away from the truth regardless of who it offends, and who will honor their past by making sure it is passed on to future generations and is never forgotten, you are truly appreciated! Your courage is exactly what's going to uplift Black people around the world. Your bravery will eventually rub off on those who are afraid. For as it was written: "Spirituality is action, and a spiritualized man (woman) is a soldier who never quits. He (she) walks the path of destiny alone while he (she) walks alongside those who are like-minded." Also, "A Man (woman) fears no one but God." (Re-Ascension of the Black Man's Mind by Baba KaMau) Continue will all that "Black Stuff"!!! Peace.
