Why is the latest Superman wearing a darker "suit"?

I remember my parents taking me to a theater in my pre-teens to watch Christopher Reeves play Superman in 1978 (Superman in background). Gawking at the image of Chris Reeves flying through the air on the silver screen and seeing this flick in one of those grand old movie theaters was nothing short of mesmerizing.

Fast forward a couple of decades later, now, it's Henry Cavill (Superman in foreground) who's filling the red boots and blue 'suit' of Superman. Difference is, being a reformed anglophile, I have no interest in seeing any more europeans playing the part of superheros. (Coincidentally, the word 'hero' comes from an ancient Black deity named 'Heru'; this is where the Christian religion got the archetype for Jesus Christ. Heru was the son of Ausar...Jesus is the sun of God...look it up and check the similarity!) So, there's no chance I'm gonna' lay down any money to see this flick, hell, I'm not even gonna' rent it. But one thing I have noticed is this...Superman is looking a little different nowadays. I've noticed the darker 'threads' he's donning while he's saving the free world. Now, I wonder what's up with that? Let's look at this a little deeper...

Ever notice the big letter 'S' on Superman's chest has an

odd design pattern or font? Especially it's first movie incarnation, circa 1978. If you look right, at the bottom half of the superman logo, you'll see what looks like a rounded 'head' at the bottom left of the letter 'S'. At the upper right-hand corner, you'll see what looks like a tail at the letter's end. Makes the 'S' kinda' look like a snake or some sort of serpent, don't it? That's 'cause it IS. Not only is the letter 'S' meant to evoke thoughts of a snake or serpent-like creature, but the 'spit curl' in Superman's hair (Chris Reeves circa 1978) is also suppose to represent a snake, or a serpent.

But why?

Welp, let's take a departure from Superman's mythological origins, and look into the origins of ancient Black people for the answer.

Let's start with the legend of the 'Nagas'. Who are they you ask? They were an ancient Black tribe who ruled asia, and one of the main deities in their spiritual sciences was a 'snake' or 'serpent God' (like the one pictured to the right called the 'Naga Kanya'). This is how the Japanese city of 'Naga-saki' got its name. The word 'Naga' actually means divine and 'saki' means snake, so this is literally the divine snake or serpent. Remember how Jim Morrison of the Doors would call himself the 'Lizard King'? That feeds into this too. Because, unbeknownst to most, Black men created Rock and Roll (Google Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, Muddy Waters and Little Richard). Also, another part of my Black ancestors spiritual sciences was the concept of 'Kundalini'. Now one of the spiritual representations of Kundalini energy is a snake, this especially pertains to the energy's way of 'snaking' up ones spine, and through the 'Chakra' systems of the body.

The illustration below is an example of Kundalini's

energies making their way up the spinal column in a 'snake-like' manner. And...the chinese have actually dubbed 2013 as 'The year of the BLACK SNAKE'. Google it if ya' don't believe me. 

Coincidence? Hmmmm...

The source of Superman's power is the ancient 'Black' snake, that's what's making him invulnerable. I can hear you guys huffin' and hawin' already, saying, "That's a crock!". Okay, then let's look at Superman's new blue 'suit'.
 
Notice from this blog post's header, that Superman's blue suit goes from being a sky or almost aqua blue, to it's latest 2013 incarnation, which is nearly a navy, or cobalt blue. I remember back in the day when a dark skinned brotha would come into a room and leave, a lot of Black folks would say he's so Black, he's 'blue'. Or they'd wax philosophic about 'blue-Black' skin. Now if you remember James Cameron's movie 'Avatar', the Na'vi (Navy Blue? Dark blue?) were also 'blue' beings. But what were their facial features like? They had broad, wide noses and braids. Hint, hint. The 'Na'vi' are suppose to be Black people. Just like this incarnation of Superman's darker suit is suppose to represent Black skin, and it's also telling the world another thing...

That the REAL SUPERMAN...IS THE BLACK MAN!

I can really hear the hisses and boos now! LOL!

Need some more proof? Okay, bet...since we're looking into ancient mythologies, whether they be Superman's or the Black man's, let's look into another ancient mythological Black man...let's take a gander at the legend of 'John Henry'.  

Now, let's compare myths:

1. John Henry was a 'steel-driving' man...and Superman is the man of 'steel'.

2. John Henry beat the powerful locomotive-driven drill while pounding through miles of rock to bore a tunnel...Superman is more powerful than a locomotive. 

3. Shaquile O'neal, the basketball superstar, was in a movie called 'Steel', and what was his character's REAL name? JOHN HENRY 'Irons'.

Besides this fact, another ancient Black deity of my ancestor's spiritual sciences is one named 'Ogun'. He's a netjer/god of war and weaponry. He is and was the original 'Black-smith' and 'IRON MAN' (another super-heru/hero reference). Coincidentally, his name is where we get the word 'gun' from. You see how this all comes back to Black people? 

Also, the fact that Black men can create every other type of man, while none of them can create one of HIM, makes him/us far superior to any of the earth's other men. Why do you think white men smoke cigars, or Black phallus' (which they really represent) to feel and look powerful. They know that the Black phallus rules over all others, genetically. 

Now with Superman's darker suit the message is clear... BLACK MAN, YOU ARE THE WORLD'S LIVING SUPERMAN. And the time to reclaim your rightful throne is NOW. And you don't have to take my word for it, Hollywood is letting you know who and what you are. 

I love being a BLACK MAN!

Absurd celebrations of the alpha white male (Part 1)…Tom Cruise, The Last Samurai, and asian amnesia…

In 2006, Japan’s Memorial Day Association declared October 6th ‘Tom Cruise Day’; supposedly ‘cause he’s been the highest profiled american actor who’s made the most trips to the island nation.

Another reason he’s so beloved in Japan is because of the film ‘The Last Samurai’, which has been playing on a continuous loop for the past week on the american movie classics network (AMC). 

For those of you who’ve never seen this flick before; albeit I couldn’t imagine there’s a soul in america who hasn’t, I’ll give you a rough synopsis of the movie’s plot: Cruise plays Captain Nat Algren; he’s a military advisor who’s hired to defeat a group of Samurai warriors so he and his cohorts can make way for the latest phase of western ‘manifest destiny’; read: genocidal occupation. After losing the battle and being captured by the Samurai, he becomes enamored with their culture and joins them. At the final battle all the Samurai warriors lose their lives defending their homeland/culture except Tom; thus, making him…the white guy, the LAST SAMURAI.*yawn*

Don’t get me wrong, this movie has several redeeming qualities. A well-written script, lovely cinematography, and some of the best choreographed fight sequences in film, period. (Namely, the ninja attack on Katsumoto’s village) Problem is, how do hollywood and the japanese people reconcile calling some white guy the last samurai? And moreover, why do the japanese feel Tom deserves his own ‘day’?

Let’s take a little stroll back down memory lane, shall we?…After the December 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, japanese americans were thrown into ‘internment/concentration camps’ in the good ‘ole U.S. of A. Let me put this another way, some 113,000 japanese people in this country, who had nothing to do with this bombing, were rounded up and incarcerated unjustly. But they’re giving an ‘american’ actor his own day in japan? Talk about a selective memory. 

Let’s take one more stroll down this lane…in 1945, the japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were decimated by american atom bombs. Mind you, america is the ONLY country in the world to use nuclear weapons in any war—bar none—twice! Tom Cruise day in japan!? *shaking my head*

Is it me, or are people of color MUCH TOO forgiving of western whites? Everyday I see instances where Black and brown people extol the virtues of the 'scrupulous' and 'morally-high grounded' caucasian; and all I can do is shake my head. And we ALL do it; Africans of the diaspora, latinos, and all varieties of asians have these same bouts of historical amnesia. 

Recently, I was on YouTube, and this person who identified themselves as ‘native american’ went on a rant that slandered Black people while talking about how ethical whites are. What?! Now, I don’t know if he was in fact a ‘native american’, but he seemed to press the issue and gave out info. on which tribe he was descended from, so I took him at his word. After I heard his bogus arguments, I asked him how he could talk about the virtuous nature of whites after what they did to his people, IN THIS COUNTRY! He responded by saying his people don’t pay any federal taxes and native american owned casinos were making them rich. I responded by saying, okay, you don’t pay any federal taxes…bravo! But you’re ‘native’ to this country, right? So why are you and yours paying ANY TAXES? As a ‘native’ person, you should be exempted from this nonsense. Then I said, it’s cool that your casinos are making you rich…but are at least HALF OF YOUR PEOPLE RICH BEHIND OWNING CASINOS? Are you personally rich? What he should or doesn’t know is, a large percentage of his people are STILL living on reservations. I remember seeing a news documentary about a native woman living on a reservation in Arizona; she didn’t even have running water in her home. This was in 2013! When the first whites washed up on these shores sick and starving, the 'native' americans fed them and nursed them back to health; and what did these virtuous whites do? They KILLED THESE NATIVES! That says to me, you’ve got to be one prideless idiot to praise the people that nearly wiped you and yours out. Also, it's documented that Black people occupied this country before and during the time 'native' americans were the majority population of this country. So 'native american indians' don't have a monopoly on this term...at least where Black people are concerned.

So I’ve said all that to say this; if you’re a person of color who’s in a heated debate about how white people are so much more scrupulous than Black or brown people, hopefully, your melanated mind will slap you in the back of the head and re-mind you of how dastardly these people, white people, have proven themselves to be time and time again. 

Let’s get our right minds back and stop being amnesiacs!!
