When will Jesus return? (Special post-Christmas editorial)

Two nights before “Christmas”, a good friend invited me to one of his church's pre-holiday services. Now, this person understands that I'm not a christian, but being that we've known each other for decades, I agreed to attend.

So a few minutes into the service, the white female pastor declared that she was gonna' give everyone in attendance a “gift”. Now, this gift she said, was associated with us winning a lottery—and then she expounded on reasons why this lottery could only be attained through being “saved”—meaning, you'd have to be a person who's accepted “Jesus Christ”.

Then, she pointedly told us about the concept of “original sin” and how Jesus died for us because of that. Additionally, she said no matter how foul our mouths are, or how many banks we've robbed, Jesus died so we'd be cleansed of our inherited sin(s).

Finally, she ended the service by reinforcing the point that regardless of how egregiously we live our lives, our acceptance of Jesus will grant us everlasting life. Mind you, about half of the people seated and listening to that service, were Black.

Now, I understand how whoever's reading this is probably gonna' think—well, here comes the part where he talks about that whole Black and white/ethnic thing again. But in all fairness, this pastor's audience was mostly comprised of white people. However, in terms of how this woman's message could affect churchgoers, I'd like to make 3 points as to how this pastor's sermon might strike a Black churchgoer differently from a white one, based on our disparate kinds of conditioning.

Point#3: In terms of this white woman telling me that she's gonna' give me a “gift”, and how this includes my winning a “lottery” that comes from being saved—it immediately takes my mind to stories of the mythological “white savior” that will rescue Black people from themselves. And mind you, a white person could be (and was) sitting right next to me—but because white fascism teaches Black people from birth that we're the most vile and undesirable kinds of people on the planet, it says to my mind, that I need some sort of “external” white force to save me, or us, from our inevitable demise, due to our moral obtuseness.

Point#2: Doubling down on my last point, the concept of “original sin” reinforces to me, as a Black person, in regards to the conditioning that we specifically get (especially in the american educational system) that EVERYTHING about me is WRONG.

EVERYTHING. 

And on a side note, I remember speaking to a mature brotha like myself about the dysfunction of Black people. And the gist of his argument was that Black people need to take “personal responsibility” for reconditioning ourselves out of these dysfucntions/mind-sets. And I agree—to an extent. Meaning, recently, I spoke to a young brotha, who I know is 18 years old, and he just happens to have that beautifully flawless, deeply melanated skin I love. But because of this, his friends make fun of him and say that he looks “African”.

And he retaliates aggressively when they do. Meaning somewhere, at his young age, he's gotten the message that he should be ashamed of his association with Africa. Now, here's my question/argument for the aforementioned mature brotha I was debating—how in the world, can we expect this young man to recondition himself out of his conscious/subconscious hatred of his “association” with Africa (i.e. his dark skin), when he doesn't even know it's a problem? Then I told the brotha, if and when that young brotha does realize, that hating his skin is a problem, then how does he recondition himself out of it?

Another personal example of this, was the time in my 9^th grade class when a beautiful young sista said to me, when we were alone: “Damn—God didn't give us nothin', he gave us big lips and nappy hair.”

Now, check that out—she said, “God” didn't give us nothing. So, she was conditioned to think, in reference to her looks and being Black, that her very God had forsaken her. And ya' know what I said to this young sista? Nothing. Cause I felt the same way.

Fortunately, decades later, I feel completely different—and I hope she does too.

Mind you, there is a remedy for this—and that is, we have to get those young minds into “Black Nationalist” homeschooling collectives, so they're not poisoned with self-hatred from this social order's “mis-educational” system.

Point#1: And the number one point I want to make is this: ever since I was in my pre-teens, I've gotten the message that when the white christ returns, he'll set the world right again.

Now, because of the conditioning I got, especially in catholic schools, I should be able to agree with this sentiment. Fortunately though, I have alternate information (cause I'm a practitioner of the Black Spiritual Sciences), and I understand one profound truth that you won't hear in 99.9% of the church services you'll attend. And that's this: In regards to Jesus Christ, what white fascists don't want you to know is...

JESUS NEVER LEFT.

Now, you're probably thinkin’, bruh—if you’re agreeing that Jesus is real and was here, then how could you possibly say he never left.

Here's how...

The Black Spiritual Sciences (The Orishas, Ifa, Yoruba, Santeria, Voudun/Voodoo, etc.) teach us that the “Krist” (KRST) energies associated with these practices, are different from a physical man named “Jesus Christ”, who white fascists made up.

Now, for the sake of brevity, I'll tell you that “Jesus Christ” was an invention of the ruler “Constantine”, when he convened the “Council of Nicea” in 325 A.D. And coincidentally, it was here that 318 Roman Catholic Bishops wrote, decreed and sanctified the institution that we now know as “christianity”. And please don't take my word for this—go do your own research and find out for yourself.

Moreover, in terms of fascist dogmas and institutions, I think these Bible verses pretty much tell you the agenda of white fascist christianity/freemasonry.

Ephesians 6:5-8:

5:”Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”

6: “Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.”

7: “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving THE LORD, NOT PEOPLE.”

8: “Because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.”

Now, I think that pretty much says it all.

So, and I'm talking exclusively to Black people, when our ancestors spoke of the “Krist/KRST”, they were speaking of energies to be accessed through the Spiritual Sciences I mentioned earlier.

And the bottom line to all these sciences is this: when you find a technique that combines your intention (prayer), with your subconscious mind, that's how you'll ultimately start to manipulate “spiritual” forces in your favor.

Then YOU will become the “CHRIST/KRST”.

Moreover, because our ingenious ancestors taught us that this particular energy is WITHIN you, it means you don't have to look for any external force to activate it—so you can save yourself.

So, while you imbibe in copious amounts of egg-nog and pumpkin pie on this holiday (holy-day), understand it's real meaning—and that is to heed our ancestors who're beseeching us to turn our KRST ENERGIES ON—so you can indeed live an abundant life that will not only benefit you, but the whole of the Black Diaspora.

And like Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee's movie: “Do the Right Thing”: “That's the double truth, Ruth.”

What this Blog CAN and CAN NOT do for its readers...

"...the bitter medicines are usually the most effective."
--Shahrazad Ali

Recently, I wrote a Blog post titled 'Are you a sex toy for white people', in response to what I see as the Black Diaspora's willingness to avoid dating each other, so we can wind up oversexed and alone in decade-long pursuits of whites and other fair-skinned folk to marry.

Now, on this post, a commenter emphatically stated how they attempted to share the concepts of this Blog with other Black people who had a complete aversion to its message. This person also said, looking from someone else's perspective, that the concepts presented here were a 'bitter, painful pill to swallow, when you realize how your people as a whole have been systematically destroyed and exploited'; (and if it was 'Clair' who made this statement, I just wanna' say thanks for the insight and thANKHS for hangin' in there with a brotha, 'cause I know it ain't easy). But after reading this comment, the above quote (beneath my pictured header) from Shahrazad Ali popped into my mind (and once again, if you don't know who she is, google her). 

And I agree, the concepts presented here are 'bitter pills' for the Black Diaspora, but I'm presenting them to not only stop our 'systematic destruction', but to help us see how our loneliness, relationship-wise at least, comes from the self-hatred bred into us, so we can finally get out of it.

Now, the above comment was preceded by another comment made by someone calling themselves, 'Conga Dan'. 

This person basically made points stating why this Blog's doctrines are not helping anyone, especially not Black people; and how I'm just engaging in a self-righteous recital of stats and meditative exercises...especially pertaining to how our diaspora would be able to find relationships with 'good' Black men and women through these meditative practices. 

So, I've decided to emphatically declare what a reader of this Blog can and can not expect from it; thus eradicating any doubts about what someone can or can't glean from frequenting this space. 

First, let's explore what someone CAN NOT expect from this Blog:

1.) This Blog CAN NOT get you into a relationship with a 'good' Black man or woman within a week!

If you want a 'microwaved' solution to the complex problem of why so many Black men and women wind up oversexed and alone at fifty, this is not the Blog you wanna' read!

Let me say again, if you're looking to snap your fingers and make the ideal Black man or woman appear, or to get rid of the subconscious self-hatred keeping you out of relationships with 'good' Black men and women in minutes, this is not where you're going to find it.

Beyond that, here's the sentiment I'm starting to hear over and over again from commenters on this Blog...'is meditation all you can offer me?'

Let me make one thing abundantly clear...and this fact is really why I started this Blog in the first place...

IF YOU ARE A BLACK MAN OR WOMAN WHO IS CONDITIONED TO HATE THEMSELVES AND OTHER BLACK PEOPLE SUBCONSCIOUSLY, YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A 'GOOD' BLACK MAN OR WOMAN...PERIOD!

THE GAME'S OVER FOR YOU!

Okay?

You will wind up another statistical Black man or woman who's again, oversexed and alone at fifty after spending years being a sex toy for white, asian and spanish people...especially if you have a college degree!

And here's the real rub, 99.9% of Black people are conditioned to hate themselves and Black people as a whole...AND THEY DON'T KNOW IT!

And it's the not knowing that's a killer!

Why do you think white supremacists have done so much work, especially in the american educational system, to condition us to think of ourselves only in the context of slavery and Martin Luther King, a pacifist who died violently? It's cause they want our psyches riddled with shame and self-loathing, so we won't start relationships where we could pro-create and consequently breed them out of existence, 'cause we have the most power to. 

Let me give you an example of how well white supremacists have done their job of making us hate ourselves; this was 'Conga's' first question on the comment she last left on my Blog:  

'how the hell can the white man abuse us more than our own people....'

Here's the answer: By conditioning us to hate ourselves through two decades of covert programming via the american educational system and the media, almost guaranteeing Black men and women will have problems forming relationships for the rest of their lives! And making sure the programming we, Black men and women, get to hate ourselves, is ten times worse than what's given to any other ethnic group! 

And you can bet your bottom dollar, whitey sure as hell doesn't get this kinda' conditioning to hate himself, even though he's the most wicked and murderous person on the planet!

So here's my question to Conga, why are you so willing to forgive whitey but not Black people? Do you even see this as a problem?

So when people say they need more than 'meditation', understand what this mediation is offering...it's offering a way to recondition us out of those decades of subconscious programming, so we can in fact, love ourselves enough to attract that 'good' Black man or woman again. 

Also, understand, if you are stuck in a mental paradigm of self-hatred, you could go to work five days a week and sit directly next to a 'good' Black man or woman, and you will not see them; 'cause you're either too busy pursuing a white, asian or spanish person; or, if you do go out on a date/dates with that Black man or woman, some differing doctrine, theory or ideology will cause you to kick this person to the curb, triggered by your subconscious hatred for them, and you will wind up back at square one, being a sex toy for fair-skinned folks again.

And this is NO theory, I see this happening EVERYDAY!

I can hear people saying, well if the differing theory, dogma, ideology, etc. causes you to get in screaming arguments all the time, who wants to stick around for that? I'm not including screaming arguments or physical violence in the above example, 'cause I remember seeing one date between a Black man and woman on TV, and because one of them literally pointed at the other person to make a point, and not in a malicious way mind you, the other person canceled the date right there and then. 

I mean, think about it, why would any sane Black person choose hating themselves and other Black people over hating whites and the white supremacist institutions that made them hate themselves in the first place? It's because you've lived with your self-hatred so long that it's familiar, comfortable and it FEELS COMPLETELY NATURAL!  

I understand people wanna' be able to say a phrase, a prayer or swallow a pill to make this problem magically disappear; and hey, if you can find that, by all means go for it. But the human condition shows us that even techniques with speedy results like hypnosis have to be 'maintained' daily, bi-weekly or monthly, to keep their effects. 

So please understand, this Blog's doctrine is not a quick fix for the Black Diaspora...it is a fix, but not an instant one.

2.) This Blog CAN NOT make you change if you really don't want to!

Meaning, if you, in your heart of hearts, really don't want to change, then be honest with yourself...and DON'T!

What has me shaking my head is how people like 'Conga Dan' will go on these tangential rants with zero intention of ever doing anything to correct their methodologies or ideologies on how to attract a 'good' Black man or woman...they just wanna' argue reasons why they can't or why my doctrines won't work. 

And understand, I know how frustrating it is to go through this, 'cause after all, we only have one life to live; but bickering and lobbing condescending insults isn't the answer.

Moreover, I bet not one of the people reading this Blog even TRIED the meditative exercise I detailed on another post. Yet they wanna' say...is that all you can offer me?

I want to make this perfectly clear...this is WORK! It is not easy or passive; you have to make an effort to actually do it. 

Now, for the intrepid and diligent persons who actually do the exercise(s), I can assure you, the results will be miraculous. 

And again, if you're currently content and happy with your life, by all means, please go be happy! But if you're not and you want an answer to why it is so hard to find a 'good' Black man or woman to marry, then you're going to have to do something different than you've been doing!

And that may not include my meditative exercises...but you're going to have to do SOMETHING DIFFERENT! 

And I know a lot of you are saying, I am doing 'something different' by dating a white, spanish or asian person...and this is why so many of us wind up, like I continually say, oversexed and alone at fifty; 'cause all we're getting by dating these people is SCREWED!

So, by all means, let's stop letting white, spanish and asian people use us for their sexual conquests like handi-wipes! Unless you just don't care what happens to you in terms of future relationships...and if that's the case, you, as a Black man or woman, shouldn't be reading this Blog in the first place!

Now...here's what you CAN expect from this Blog...

1.) You can expect when you actually do the meditative exercises I offer, to, as a Black man or woman, love yourself more than you ever have in your life. 

And this is not hyperbole. 

Once you do the meditative work and offer your subconscious self-loving affirmations, especially pertaining to your African skin, facial features, hair texture, etc. a new world of peace and witnessing how much better we look than whites will appear before your eyes where it never existed.

And this is how our natural melanated minds are suppose to be working everyday!

Once you begin to truly love yourself for being Black, THEN you can attract other Black men and women who feel the same way...i.e. those 'good' Black men and women we're all wanting to be with.

Then, when you go out with this Black man or woman, you won't have such a guard up where any little thing that goes wrong will be an excuse to get rid of that person and go 'wasp-hunting' again. 

You see how this works?

And these changes can take place within the span of two to four weeks...and I'm saying the first 'noticeable' changes can occur during this time. 

Doing this over the course of months and years will yield even greater benefits. And, since repetition is the key to this, it has to be done daily or at least every other day.

Thus, I've dedicated myself to doing this meditative work daily for the rest of my life, so I don't ever lose any of it's benefits. Remember, we're reconditioning ourselves out of decades of self-hating conditioning, you can't do that overnight. 

Also remember, the finding of a 'good' Black man or woman starts with YOU!

The saying 'opposites attract' is incomplete. What it doesn't tell you is opposites attract up until the point where the novelty of their differences ware off and you usually wind up with someone who's just like YOU.

Now, this should be all the reason you need to do these meditative exercises, but there's one more perk they offer...

2.) These meditative exercises can be applied to ANY goal or behavioral modification you want to do in the future.

You want to stop biting your nails?

Apply the right affirmation and your nail biting will stop.

You want to lose weight?

Apply the right affirmation and the weight will come off.

Scared of the dark or public speaking?

Again, apply the right affirmation and these will slowly disappear.

Are you seeing the benefits of these meditative exercises now?

It's all about the subconscious mind people!

If you really want to change behavior, this is where you must go!

And this is why you can't pray this self-hatred away. It's because not only does prayer leave you in the limiting confines of 'praying and hoping', but it only deals in the 'conscious' mind. And anyone who knows anything about behavioral conditioning can tell you, in the battle between the conscious and subconscious...THE SUBCONSCIOUS WILL ALWAYS WIN OUT!!

The reason for this is, your subconscious needs to be the more powerful of the two because it controls more vital biological functions. 

For instance, imagine if you had to think about breathing. How would you sleep?

Imagine if you had to think about keeping your heart beating...any lapse in 'consciousness' could be fatal.

But we don't have to worry about this because the 'subconscious' takes care of all that, and again, that's why it's the most powerful part of the mind. 

And that's why it's such a bit@h to recondition!

So, I hope this answers the majority of people's questions about this Blog's doctrine and mission. 

Now, if what I detailed is something you can get wit', hey, let's get down...if it ain't...well, thanks for the time. I didn't come into this thinking my credo was going to be massively popular. But rest assured, I'm still working on the tome that will detail more in-depth and comprehensive methods of meditative exercises for us to heal ourselves; my e-book 'How to heal the rift between Black men and women' is on its way! So please, stay tuned!

Truthfully, I'm really looking for a handful of dedicated souls who I can eventually meet up with in real life, so we can actually build something to benefit the diaspora. 

So, again, if that's you...welcome aboard; if not, I ain't mad at ya', there's literally millions of other Blogs to choose from...I hope you find one that's more suited to your sensibilities.

Peace and be well...

Christian concentration camps and a reviled retreat...

On July first of this year, while conversing with a co-worker of mine, I was introduced to the idea of spending some time at a 'spiritual retreat' while speaking about how I'd acquired some vacation time on my job. 

When I told my co-worker that I wasn't religious, but a practitioner of the Black Spiritual Sciences, this person stated how there would be several persons there representing the practices of Yoruba, The Orishas and even a Voudun/Voodoo Babaalau; which is basically a leader of ceremonies in the Black Spiritual Sciences, something like what a priest is to christianity. So I told this person I'd think about it after they gave me a brochure about the 'retreat'.

As I read the brochure, the first thing I noticed was how this retreat would take place in the Virgin Islands; and I have family there, so that was a plus. But even before this fact, I saw the retreat facility was more of an island resort than something resembling a monastery. This was another selling point. The brochure also detailed how all faiths would be represented, up to and including the Black Spiritual Sciences. But there was one caveat. The brochure said in order to keep the ambiance of the retreat more spiritually-minded, they wanted participants to check in their cell phones, laptops and other electronic devices, so there'd be less diversions in our quests for a more intimate spiritual experience. 

Just then I said no; flat out. I was hell-bent (no pun intended) on always having my laptop with me. I hate to admit this, but my computer has almost become like an appendage...I'm completely tethered to it. But recently, I'd been wrestling with the issue of my possibly being too obsessive with my laptop and this Blog; 'cause one thing I know for sure is too much of anything is not good for you. And I did want to know more about the Black Spiritual Sciences, being that I've only an intermediate knowledge of them. I'd done some book reading and video watching on the topic, but I'd never been in a consistently immersive fellowship experience with other like-minded people who practiced these sciences.

I spoke to the co-worker who originally gave me the brochure and told them about my issues with a possible obsession with my computer and Blog. They told me this would be the perfect venue to confront it in; they also assured me about how strict the retreat facility's administrators are about giving out a central emergency number that I could give to loved ones in case they needed to contact me quickly. Since we wouldn't have our cell phones, this person understood my concerns should I need to contact my family for any reason. They also said they'd witnessed instances were people had emergency calls in the past and the resort manager themselves would personally relay the caller's message to them. 

It seemed all my issues with the 'retreat' had been resolved and since it would last two weeks and I had a month of vacation time due me, I agreed to go. 

The flight over to the Virgin Islands was pretty uneventful and pleasant, and after we touched down safely in the V.I.(Virgin Islands), we were chauffeured to the resort. After we got to the gates of the compound, they swung open and revealed a complex replete with tennis and racket ball courts, a small golf course, a full gym, and with V.I.'s vistas as a backdrop, this place looked like what you'd see on a commercial promoting some tropical getaway. I nodded my head in approval and checked into my room. 

Opening the door to my suite soothed my soul even more. The tan colored carpet seemed to be double cushioned, so every step felt like I was being buoyed on a bed of pillows; the room also had a set of well cushioned, buttery golden sofas and a nearly wall-sized flat screen TV. When I looked into the bedroom, the king size bed glowed beneath rays of sunlight coming through beige curtains that swayed in a breeze coming off the ocean; and my glances at the room's brochure said the bed's comforter and sheets were made of silk and Egyptian cotton. I strode into the bathroom to find a walk-in shower replete with several spray jets, a jacuzzi and a full vanity. 

After I got some cloths out onto my bed I went into the living room and pulled back the curtains of the main windows. What stared back at me were powdery golden sands rubbed up against aqua blue translucent waters, palm trees, tanning enthusiasts slathering assorted lotions on themselves, bobbing mini yachts and jet skiers having their way with the deeper waters. It was one of those moments where you just had to be happy with life. 

Moments later, the door bell rang. I wondered who it could be before a female voice called out she was one of the hotel's administrators. I peered through the door's peep hole and swung it open. I wasn't expecting a woman this attractive to be one of the resort's administrators. She was a sista I'd get to know as Kathy. And Kathy had the high grade melanated, deep chocolate, luminous skin I love on a woman. She also had almond shaped eyes, a gorgeous body, the perfect height and weight I like, and I don't know what fragrance she wore, but it seemed to be some floral mix of lilac and lavender; whatever it was, it worked.  

She offered me a brochure about the spiritual seminars that would take place and which areas of the resort they'd be in. She also told me she was there to collect my laptop and cell phone. Then it made sense, they send a physically beguiling woman to disarm the patrons of their most valued possessions. She assured me they'd be placed in safe storage and told me later there would be a showing of the vault where these items would be placed for all guests. I told her I definitely would attend and in a split second I nearly forgot this was a spiritual retreat, 'cause I straight up wanted to ask this woman out. That was until I saw a glistening rock on her left-handed wedding band finger. I handed over my phone and laptop, we exchanged good evenings and she made her exit. I went to the living room, turned on the TV and wondered what lucky man had her for a wife.   

Now, the brochure said one wake up call would be provided for the 9 A.M. seminars, the first of these would be at 8 A.M. I'm used to early morning wake ups, so this wasn't a problem; that was until I got my first wake up call for this seminar at 6 A.M. I told the person calling how it was inappropriate and downright rude to call me that early, it's not like I don't know how to use an alarm clock. She apologized and hung up. The next wake up call came at 7 A.M. After I asked who it was, I asked to speak with the manager. The manager gave me some silly story about how these calls were mandatory and detailed  in their brochure; to which I reminded him how the brochure said one call would be made. Then I told him this was harassment and I didn't want anymore wake up calls. They stopped. 

Now, being that I was tired from an interrupted night of sleep, I was not in the best spirits for the morning seminar. Again, there were three to choose from, and that morning I chose the Yoruba mysticism lecture. The auditoriums resembled any generic hotel meeting room; several austere and angular metal framed chairs, one long mahogany desk, one podium, one mic and a refreshment table off to the side replete with a 'continental' breakfast; all carbs, muffins, toast, tea and coffee. Fortunately, I had a breakfast ordered up to my room, 'cause I woke up in a quasi-bitter mood from all those wake up calls. 

Much to my suprise, the Yoruba seminar started out well. The forty-something Black gentlemen presiding over the ceremony started out with a libation pouring to the ancestors which set the spiritual tone of the room correctly; there were some inbreds scattered about the room, but otherwise, I didn't have much to complain about. After that, the emcee told about the origins of Yoruba beginning in southwest Nigeria and adjacent parts of Benin and Togo; and he explained how the deity Olodumare was its divine creator of all existence, these facts I knew, but it was nice to hear them in that setting. After several minutes the speaker said how analogous these concepts were to christianity and kept his diatribe on those points. I got so pissed, I walked out. Not only was I suffering from a lack of r.e.m. sleep, but I thought I'd just got 'bait and switched' where the promise of a talk on the Black Spiritual Sciences were concerned.  

Minutes later, Kathy showed up in the corridor beside my room's door. She sauntered over to me and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you enjoy the Yoruba seminar?" That's when I knew I was being watched. I asked Kathy,"How'd you know I just came out of the Yoruba seminar?" She said, as one of the facility's administrator's it was her job to see I was having a good time. The look up in her eyes told me this was a come on. This weirded me out, considering she was married; or was at least wearing a wedding ring. I told her I should have a better experience at the next one. I talked mid-stride while I headed for my door. Listen, I'm as lustful as the next guy, but one thing I won't do is take part in dismantling a marriage; especially where our people are concerned. Now, I don't know if Kathy's married to a Black man or not, quite frankly, I think she's probably married to some inbred who thinks it's cool to have an 'open' marriage; but again, on the off chance she's with a brotha, I'm not gonna' be the one to do something to harm that. If you've read my Blog for any amount of time, you'll see I don't get down like that. So after I got into my room, I locked the door and sank into the sofa; and I dearly missed and needed to be on my laptop. Then I remembered it was in the resort's vault. I then thought, maybe it was good I didn't have my computer as a crutch to fall back on. I started thinking about Ben and Jerry's ice cream and Kathy's come on. I decided to indulge in some New York Super Fudge Chunk before tuning into something salacious on Netflix.    

The next day I got another 6 A.M. wake up call for the 9 A.M. seminar; then I got another at 7 A.M. After speaking to the desk clerk, I once again spoke to a supervisor and told them, if this continued I'd ask for my money back and leave the resort. After this they stopped completely. 

I arrived at the morning's seminar entitled 'Reflections and revelations on the science of Voodoo'. I thought, alright, here we go, this is gonna' be powerfully dope. I think I was the first person in the auditorium, but after a few moments other people began to trickle in. Oddly enough, a white woman sat right next to me. Inwardly, I rolled my eyes. It seems I'm a magnet for the kind of white women I call 'triple O's'; they're either overweight, oversexed, old or all three. This one seemed to subscribe to the first two 'O's', but looked to be in her mid-thirties. I sensed her eyes on me, but I wasn't about to return her stare or even say hello. You see, these women think the easiest man they can get is a Black one, so they feel all they have to do is establish some sort of close proximity to us and we're suppose to melt or something. 

One thing I have to say about this is, I shamefully admit, I get a perverse thrill from making a white woman seem unwanted by me. What I encounter on damn near a daily basis, is a white woman who walks towards me with her head down 'cause she doesn't want me thinking she's attracted to me. But what I always do is go out of my way to keep my eyes looking forward. 'Cause nine times out of ten, just as this white woman is about to pass me, she'll look at me; then when she sees I'm not looking at her, she'll don this perplexed look on her face, like, why aren't you looking at me? I am a white woman after all.

I SO GET OFF ON THIS!! 

Again, I do shamefully admit, I love making white women feel less attractive; or I at least like letting them know, I think their pale skin is repulsive; I love to non-verbally tell them, keep walking you thin lipped, flat-assed, stringy haired degenerate. But that's just me. 

Back to the seminar...A dark-skinned brotha in a dashiki came to the podium and I was like, alright bruh, come wit' it!

He also started out pouring libations, and went through a litany of outstanding ancestors; we paid homage to Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba, Amazon Queen Califia (This is the Black woman who California is named after), Harriet Tubman, Nobel Drew Ali, Tupac Shakur, Steven Biko, Kwame Nkruma, Dr. Huey P. Newton, Elijah Muhammad, etc. 

The brotha then went on to say the word Voudun or Voodoo actually means 'spirit' or 'deity' in the Fon language of the ancient African kingdom of Dahomey, which is now Benin. Minutes after, he spoke on how a Voodoo ceremony preceded the Haitian revolution and gave our people the spiritual and physical might to overthrow Napoleon's occupying forces, even though we were out-manned and out-gunned; and how to this day, this revolution is credited with being the only successful slave revolt in world history. Then I experienced a bout of deja vu as this guy started talking about how this religion parallels christianity, and he started expounding on this point. 

That's when I knew this was a set up. What this resort was doing was converting, or at least trying to convert, every person who believed in something other than white supremacist christianity into adopting their religion. 

Once again, I got up and left the auditorium. I swung open the door to my room and went for the pint-sized remainder of my Ben and Jerry's ice cream, when I got a phone call. 

And lo and behold, it was Kathy. She asked me to meet her in her office. I agreed 'cause I wanted to curse her out behind having me at the resort under false pretenses. As I left my room and traveled towards the elevator, my co-worker who got me to come to the retreat popped up. The first thing this person said was, "I'm sorry you're not liking the seminars." Right then I knew this person and Kathy were working together. Mind you, this was a person I'd worked with for the better part of a decade; we'd been to each others homes, met members of each others families and I genuinely considered this person a friend. Well, that was over. I abruptly told them I had an emergency call and brushed by them. 

When I got to Kathy's office, before I could get a word in, she started asking me if I'd ever considered joining the priesthood; then she started in on how lucrative a career it could be, unbeknownst to the public. When I told her I had absolutely no interest in this, she told me I fit the profile of someone who'd do well in the priesthood. I knew this meant my co-worker had offered me up as some sort of prospect for a priestly 'training camp', and that's what this experience was and would be. I immediately went to Kathy's supervisor and asked for my money back. 

After the resort's executive administrators obliged, I called a cab and got promptly off the complex and into a regular hotel. I enjoyed the remainder of my stay in the V.I. at a similar resort, minus the force fed overtones of white supremacist christianity and I got to see my family there as well.

Needless to say, I stopped talking to this co-worker completely. And to this day, this person is perplexed as to why I'm mad. 

You see, the christian priesthood is in such dire financial straits, that they've been forced to employ these kind of recruitment techniques. Because their priests have been exposed for the pedophiles and generally mentally unstable posers they really are; so no one in their right minds, or at least no young person in their right minds, wants to be associated with them anymore. 

And thinking back on it, I remembered telling my co-worker how I was fond of darker skinned women, that's probably why Kathy was recruited to 'attend' to me; and when that didn't work, they probably sicced one of their resident white women on me, this was the overweight and oversexed woman who sat next to me during the Voodoo seminar. And if you're thinking, yo MontUHURU, you're just trippin', I'd say I wouldn't put this past them if they were that hard up for Black men to go into the priesthood. 

Think about it, why wouldn't they want more Black men in the priesthood, firstly, it would add some cool points to the papacy; if for no other reason that we wouldn't hold stuffy and technical prayer services, we'd make our message relevant and practical for people. And, if for no other reason, the mainstream public knows that the overwhelming majority of Black men don't practice pedophilia. They also know, we're less likely to be homosexuals, 'cause our melanated minds won't allow us to indulge in these deviant sex acts so easily. So, it would be a win-win for white supremacists and their main religion. 

Only problem is, I'm not selling out to white supremacy; that's not me. They're gonna' have to look elsewhere for a token. 

And in the immortal words of Sam Jackson in the movie 'Do the right thing', "That's the triple truth, Ruth."

White supremacist religion(s) and Black churches...a match made in heaven?

"Give me a child 'til the age of seven and we'll show you the man."
--The Jesuits

Chances are, if you've ever driven or walked through a predominately African-American neighborhood, you've noticed a church and a liquor store on every corner. I'd venture to say, you probably encountered more churches than liquor stores. What message does this send to this neighborhood's residents and everyone else passing through these areas? Well, here's my take on it...

Any Black person can attest to the fact of being force fed the doctrines of Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ (or some other version of Christianity: Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah's Witness, Baptist, Methodist, etc.) ad nauseum in their formative years. And there's a very distinct reason why our areas are targeted with these two philosophies. 

Firstly, the tale of Martin Luther King goes pretty much like this: Uber-pacifist and baptist preacher King, revolutionized the Black Human Rights movement (wrongly termed the Civil Rights movement; we weren't fighting for the right to be civil) by telling our people it's better to overcome whites with our capacity to love, than to physically or economically fight back against nationalized, institutional white bigotry. So while he and other Black people got their heads beat in by mobs of white bigots, they continuously pray for their oppressors while being preyed upon. This comes back to the passages in the the bible saying: Love your enemy and pray for those who use you spitefully. What King never realized was the bible was written by our oppressors. So after integrating Blacks into handing their monies over to white institutions (which was the real agenda of integration--if you disagree, you're just in denial...do the research), the story ends with the pacifist, non-violent King, dying violently. The End. 

Now, let's look directly at religion's role in this equation. Before I say anything directly about religion though, I'd like to just display some passages from the bible. Check these out:

Ephesians, Chapter 6:5:
Slaves, you must obey your earthly masters. Show them great respect and be as loyal to them as you are to christ. 

Ephesians, Chapter 6:6:
Try to please them at all times, and not just when you think they are watching. You are SLAVES OF CHRIST (!?), so with your whole heart you must do what god wants you to do. 

6:7
Gladly serve your master as though they were the lord himself, AND NOT SIMPLY PEOPLE.

6:8
You know that you will be rewarded for any good things you do, WHETHER YOU ARE SLAVES OR FREE.

I think these passages are pretty self-explanatory. When I first stumbled upon these verses, my jaw dropped.

This basically is the agenda of christianity in ALL its forms. The white elite wanna' keep us in a paradigm of being sheep led to slaughter, while we continuously forgive them for all the atrocities they levy on our people. And we continue to go for it. I recently read another blog on this website where a Black man was talking about all the self-hatred in the Black diaspora; even though I'm glad he tackled the subject, he tempered his argument by saying, "...we (Black people) are 'GOD'S PROPERTY', so we shouldn't feel inferior to anyone." Even when we try to break out of the 'ole negro programming, it's still lurking in our subconscious and holding us hostage to the white supremacist trick bag of religion. I must say though, more and more Blacks of and in the diaspora are waking up to the sham of christian dogmas. So what's the church's remedy for this? Other religions. I can't tell you the number of times I've watched popular youth-oriented shows to find buddhist statues in the background of almost every shot in the TV program. (Check it--TV 'PROGRAM') The same themes of 'forgiveness' run through buddhist dogmas which is why the white elite are giving us mega-doses of it on TV. Every time I see a black celebrity on TV, they're wearing black buddhist beads on their wrist...check it out, next time you tune in.

And the Black churches are filled with a predominance of black women. The majority of them single. Because, whether they or the church want to acknowledge it, the message they get and give every Sunday is: EVERYTHING NEGATIVE IS MASCULINE AND EVERYTHING POSITIVE IS FEMININE. Again, don't take my word for it...do the research.

Notice america's status quo always puts a negative spin on the Black spiritual sciences though; sciences like Voudun (Voodoo) and The Orishas. I've NEVER seen a hollywood film portraying the sciences of Voodoo in a positive light. If you can find or think of one, please let me know. That's because our Haitian ancestors used these spiritual sciences to free themselves from white oppressors. (Look up the Haitian Revolution). And also note, the Haitian Revolution to this day, is the only one with a claim of being the world's only successful slave revolt.

So I've said all that to say this, the ultimate message behind the life of Martin Luther King jr., and having churches and liquor stores on every corner of Black neighborhoods is...WE WANT YOU TO BE INEBRIATED, SEMI-CONSCIOUS PACIFISTS, WHO DIE YOUNG AND VIOLENTLY. If you don't see this, again, you're just in denial. And again, don't take my word for it...do the research!

'til next time,

Ma'at Hotep (Peace and Justice)

P.S.
I'd be remiss if I didn't shout out the Gnostic/demi-Netjer LLO525STAR for introducing me to these bible verses and so much more info. I might have not found elsewhere! You can see his YouTube video that first introduced me to these verses and the aesthetic of white supremacist religious trick bags here.
