The cult of Black and white cinematic symbolism (Part 11)...Tupac Shakur, Assata Shakur, the Black Panthers and Luke's cage...

Tupac Amaru Shakur was born Lesane Parish Crooks in the East Harlem section of Manhattan, New York City on June 16^th, 1971. His mother Afeni, and biological father Billy Garland, changed his name in 1972 to Tupac Amaru II, which paid homage to the 18th-century Peruvian revolutionary who led an indigenous (Black) uprising against Spanish oppressors.

Now, I think we all know of Afeni Shakur's illustrious legacy as a member of the Black Panther Party, but what's lesser known is Tupac's biological father Billy, and his step-dad, Mutulu, were also leaders and active members of that cadre as well. Moreover, Afeni, while pregnant with Tupac in prison, acted as a legal attorney in a court trial that get herself and 20 other members of the Black Panthers acquitted of charges that would've resulted in decades-long jail sentences.

At the age of 12, Tupac enrolled in Harlem's 127^th street Repertory Ensemble, and was cast as Travis Younger in the Ensemble's production of 'A Raisin in the Sun'. It was during this performance at New York's Apollo Theater where Tupac would later admit to being bitten by the acting 'bug'.

In 1986, Tupac's family moved to Baltimore, Maryland. There, Tupac would attend Paul Dunbar Lawrence High School until his sophmore year. Afterwards, he'd transfer to the Baltimore School for the Arts. And it was there
that he'd start and build a life-long friendship with a young Jada Pinkett.

We all need to keep in mind, that when Tupac was 13, someone asked him what he wanted to be and he replied, “A revolutionary”. Meaning, the seeds that Afeni, Billy and Mutulu had planted in him were taking root, and they'd dictate the course of his life, and ultimately lead to his early death.

In 1988, Tupac's family moved to Marin County, California, located five miles north of San Francisco. Once enrolled in Tamalpais High School, he was active in their drama department and performed in several of their productions. He also began attending the poetry classes of a teacher named Lisa Steinberg, who organized a concert featuring one of Shakur's musical groups called 'Strictly Dope'. And it was at this performance where the manager Atron Gregory signed him to be a roadie and back-up dancer for the group, 'Digital Underground'.

Needless to say, once Tupac found his voice on the Digital Underground record, 'Same song', it wasn't long before those around him saw he was more than just a back-up dancer. The cream of his genius began rising to the top of the group, until he landed his own record deal with the label Interscope. And in 1991, he released his solo debut album '2Pacalypse Now'.

And even though this album didn't generate any Top 10 hits, it displayed Pac's penchant for politically-tinged lyrics, and the songs 'Trapped' and 'Brenda's got a baby' showcased his socially-conscious bent early on.

Later in his career, the songs 'Keep ya' head up', 'Dear Mama' and 'So Many Tears' would show the world where Pac's heart really was.

Assata Shakur was born Joanne Debra Byron in Flushing, Queens, New York City on July 16^th, 1947.

She lived for three years with her mother, her aunt Evelyn, and retired grandparents Lula and Frank Hill. In 1950, Assata's parents divorced and her grandparents moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, where she spent the majority of her childhood with her younger siblings, Mutulu and Beverly.

Assata's teenage years were riddled with the twin difficulties of her disliking for the american education system and her being shuttled from household to household. Eventually, her aunt Evelyn, who lived in Manhattan, New York City, took her in. And these years shaped her post-adolescence and introduced her to the stability she so often craved. Additionally, her aunt inspired her mental curiosities with trips to museums, libraries and trips to other cultural events.

After quitting high school, Assata got her equivalency diploma and enrolled in the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). While there, she took part in many protests, sit-ins and political activities which put her in touch with members of the Black Panther Party in the mid-1960's. In 1967, she married fellow BMCC student-activist Louis Chesimard, and took his last name. Three years later, they divorced. And this ultimately happened due to their coming from unstable and abusive households, where they never learned how to form solid relationships.

At 23, Assata graduated from BMCC and officially joined the Black Panther Party. She eventually became a leading member of the Harlem, New York branch and coordinated a school breakfast program for students in need.

Mind you, J. Edgar Hoover (FBI leader) had openly declared that the most dangerous initiative of the Black Panther Party was the 'free breakfast program'. Now, with the Black Panther's assortment of firearms and manpower, you may ask, why would sexually conflicted J. Edgar be so concerned about a breakfast program? That's an important question, I'll answer later.

Assata left the Black Panthers saying they weren't knowledgeable enough about Black revolutionary history. She declared that members of the Black Panthers were reading the 'Red Book', but didn't know who Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner were. After leaving the Panthers, she joined the Black Liberation Army (BLA) which was described by american periodicals as a 'radical and violent organization of Black activists'. Alternatively, the BLA described itself as an organization dedicated to 'the fight for independence and self-determination for Afrikan peoples in the united states'.

Between 1971 and 1973, Assata was targeted by the american government's 'Counterintelligence Program' on Black revolutionaries, and charged with several bogus crimes, most of which she would later be acquitted of in american courts.

The culmination of these trumped-up charges came to a head in May of 1973, when Assata was pulled over in a car by New Jersey State Troopers. One of the troopers later said Assata and her car-mates, which included BLA member Zyed Shakur, were pulled over for slightly exceeding the speed-limit (wink, wink). Long story short, a shoot out ensued when cops pulled guns on Assata and Zyed, and this resulted in the state trooper Werner Foerster and Zyed Shakur being killed. Assata was also wounded in the encounter, but survived.

In 1977, she was convicted of the first-degree murder of Werner Foerster resulting in Assata getting a life sentence.

On November 2, 1979, three BLA members posing as prison visitors, drew pistols and took two corrections officers hostage. They then proceeded to break Assata out of jail by seizing a prison van. Once they were outside of the federal prison, they switched vehicles and let the corrections officers go free. The C.O.'s were unharmed.

After escaping prison, it's believed that Assata lived as a fugitive in the u.s. until she fled to Cuba, where she's remained ever since.

Now, let's fast forward to 2017...

On the 16^th of this month, the Tupac 'biopic', 'All Eyez on Me' was released in american theaters. Mind you, Pac's birthday is on June 16^th.

To top this off, the american presi-dunce, I mean president, Donald Trump, said he would not lift sanctions off Cuba, until Assata Shakur was returned to america.

Now, the logical question in anyone's mind should be, why the hell would Trump care about Assata's return to america some 40 years later? Does he even really know who Assata Shakur is?

And here's the answer—No, he doesn't really know about Assata, but what he does know is, the entire Shakur family represents the revolutionary spark that could possibly rally Black people to unite. And like I said in my post about Tariq Nasheed, any organization (or icon in this case), that has even the slightest chance of uniting Black folks, must be destabilized, dismantled and destroyed. Period.

The reason that pansy J. Edgar Hoover was so adamant about Assata and the Black Panther's 'free breakfast program' being so dangerous is, he knew they could condition hundreds of young Black men and women with revolutionary mind-sets in that situation. See, once the youth sat down to the Panther's breakfast, they would partake in sing-a-longs that told them, 'Black is beautiful' and 'Free Huey', which served to indoctrinate them into the Party's ideologies. And Hoover knew that out of one of those young minds, would come the 'Black Messiah' that he and his organization were dreading.

And my generation's last best hope for a Black messiah did come out of those free breakfast programs—and that messiah's name was Tupac Shakur.

Understand, on the down-low, Tupac was the national chairman of a group called 'NAPO', which stood for the 'New Afrikan Panthers Organization'. And this cadre was dedicated to replicating what the Black Panthers had done without making the same mistakes they'd made. Mind you, Tupac took on this title right out of high school. So all through his career he carried those manifestos and mission-statements with him. And when Pac became head of NAPO, they were already active in 8 american cities.

Now, as for the east coast/west coast rap war that the movie All Eyez on Me, will tell us was wholly responsible for Pac's death, I'll say, I'm willing to bet money that what won't be shown is how prisoners in jail told Pac that Notorious B.I.G. had him set up to be shot. And how those prisoners turned out to be FBI agents. And this was proven in the Nick Broomfield documentary, 'Biggie and Tupac'.

Also, in the 1970's, FBI infiltrators had east coast factions of the Black Panthers battling west coast factions of the Party. To the point where they termed these battles, the 'East Coast versus West Coast Panther War'. Google it sometimes.

And speaking of Black Panthers, the movie trailer for Marvel's 'Black Panther' was released this month as well. And while all the special effects of the trailer looked exceptionally well done, we still see Black folks (in the most advanced country on earth, 'Wakanda') holding spears, wearing plates in their lips and grass skirts on their hips.

And while I'm on this subject, let me tell you what I though about another movie adapted from a comic book series, 'Luke Cage'.

I'll confess that one of the reasons I got a subscription to 'Netflix' is because so many people were talking about the Luke Cage series. So when I first sat down to watch the premiere episode of this show, I thought, I'm in for a real treat.

What I saw a few minutes into the first episode was Mike Colter, who plays Cage, working a menial job sweeping up hair at a barbershop, even though he knows he possesses super powers. After that, I saw Alfre Woodard playing this crooked politician who works with this local gangster to garner funds for her campaigns. And in one scene, Alfre is attending some community organizational event where she's endorsing the 'new' Harlem Renaissance, i.e. the gentrification of Harlem (meaning they're kicking the Black folks out). And then she boasts about opening some affordable public housing complex called the 'Crispus Attucks complex'. Mind you, Crispus is renowned for being the first person to die in the 'american revolution'. So, what the show is really saying is this complex, and the new Harlem Renaissance, is suppose to kill off, or get rid of the Black residents there.

But what really made me wanna' punch my TV screen was the moment at the end when Cage decides to be a crime-fighter. Cause the first people he decides to save are a fair-skinned asian couple. And after he saves their lives, the asian man says to Cage, “You cause more trouble, now they are gonna' come back.”

Essentially, this korean guy (or whatever kinda' fair-skinned asian he was), told Cage, thanks for saving us, but you're still a negro.

So, I've said all that to say this, these films are engineered to make us feel one way—inferior to whites.

More specifically, they're saying even though you come from the most advanced country on earth (Wakanda), and even though you have super-natural powers (Cage), and even though your parents brought you up with the virtues of helping your people (Pac), you're still nothing but a bunch of dumb savages who are predisposed to hurting and hating each other.

And that's why I canceled my subscription to Netflix and I've sworn off superheros movies.

But if I ever do wanna' see some brother with super-natural powers get his scrap on...I'll just watch 'Blade' one mo' time.

The cult of Black and white cinematic symbolism (Part 6)...Star Wars, the awakened force and white fascist desperation...

2/26/16: To the readers of this Blog...I'd be remiss if I didn't apologize about the look of this particular post. After several tries to increase the spacing between the lines of text here, I still couldn't match the aesthetic look of my past publishings. Thus, reading this may not be as pleasant an experience as the frequenters of this Blog are used to.

However, as a result of my continued problems with my former word processing software, I finally decided to dump that program and use another that should give me the consistent results I've gotten before. Thus, my future offerings should provide more enjoyable reads. And to those who took the time to read this post in spite of its looks, I sincerely thank you.

Shortly after the first movie trailer for ‘Star Wars 7: The force awakens’ was released, a certain twitter campaign went viral, and these massive grouping of ‘tweets’ went under the hashtag, ‘#BoycottStarWarsVII’. And these tweets had another hash-tagged topic embedded within them titled, '#whitegenocide'. 

Now, before I go in on this flick, I wanna' make one thing emphatically clear, I have NOT seen this entire movie. This critique is based on parts of this film I have seen and people I've talked to who've seen this flick in its entirety. And quite frankly, I have no interest in seeing anymore of the Star Wars franchise films, mainly because of the last installment of this film series I saw, which was 'Return of the Jedi' (ROTJ).

In 'ROTJ', Billy Dee Williams was cast as the smooth-talking space smuggler, 'Lando Calrissian'. And even though I was young when I saw this flick, I was smart enough to realize that this character was used to cast our Diaspora in a negative light, when he gave Han Solo and Chewbacca up to Darth Vader's forces. I wasn't part of the Black 'conscious' community back then, but after watching that scene I knew how inherently bigoted the producers of this movie were, and I also knew that I was done with this Sci-fi anthology for good.

I had a serious bout of deja-vu years later, when I saw the movie 'Total Recall' and watched 'Benny' betray Arnold Schwarzenegger's character Douglas Quaid...but maybe I'll write about that in a future post.

Now, after I was made aware of the '#BoycottStarWarsVII' campaign, I ran across a professional-looking blog that was dedicated to reviewing the latest movies, and this particular Star Wars film was featured, so I gave their review a quick read. The person reviewing the movie was a white guy who came off as a liberal-minded sort, that was until he wrote how he didn't mind that John Boyega's character 'Finn' was Black, he just didn't think he was very attractive. Right after, he went on to say that John was 'very African looking' and how certain camera shots 'dive' into his wide nostrils. Then he went on to imply that this was the reason why 'Finn' and the white female lead character 'Rey', stayed in the 'friend zone'. He also talked about how unlikely it was that this film would promote any spate of relationships between Black men and white women in real life, cause if it did, these women would be subjecting themselves to higher incidences of rape and single motherhood.

Mind you, this is all behind the releasing of a Sci-fi movie. But you must understand, the Star Wars franchise is one of the movies, behind the film 'Jaws', that basically created the 'summer blockbuster' film genre. So this franchise is very important to pop culture. It's the reason we're getting deluged with all these movies based on comic books every July and August.

Anyway, based on what I've seen and heard about this flick, here's what I've come away with...

First off, John Boyega's character 'Finn', meets the white female lead character 'Rey', on a planet named 'Jakku'. Now, Jakku is the planet where the empire and the republic were battling, and basically this is a world where all of the broken down and non-functioning space ships are put out of service. So basically this is a planetary junk/graveyard.

Now, in my last post, I wrote about how there's nothing organic about the origins of white people, and how they were created by our ancient ancestors. And I told you to research the story of 'YAKUB' regarding this. Now, I don't think it's a coincidence that the name 'JAKKU', sounds eerily close to the name 'YAKUB'. And once again, the mythological Yakub is hailed as the geneticist who brought white people into existence. So the planet 'Jakku' and its global theme of broken down mechanics, is really representing the 'weakened' or the 'broken down' genetics of the white world.

Now, I can already hear people saying, bruh...you're reading way too much into this. George Lucas probably never heard of the 'Yakubian' mythology, and if he did, he probably wouldn't include anything to do with that in his films. Well, like I said in one of my previous posts titled, 'The Legend of Sophia Stewart', George is very well-versed in our ancient ancestor's history. You're probably saying, prove it.

Bet...

This figure to the left is called the 'Djed Pillar'. This is an ancient African symbol representing 'stability' and 'strength'. Notice how it looks almost identical to the handle of a 'light-saber'? Well, this is where George got the term 'JEDI' from. Also note how Finn's light-saber is colored 'blue'...and if anyone's been around a dark-skinned brotha, sometimes they'll say he's so Black, he's blue. Well, the color of his light-saber is representing the deep 'blue-Blackness' of Finn's skin. And this represents how white fascists want darker-skinned brothas to produce children with white women.

Now, a recent reader of this Blog essentially asked me why 'hot' white women (by european standards), were being paired with Black men? He was referring to the pairings of Kelly Ripa and Micheal Strayhan, Karissa Shannon and Sam Jones, Doutzen Kroes and Sunnery James, etc. And to answer that question for anyone else wondering this, I need you to understand that white fascists know how their birth rates have fallen below replacement levels, so they're promoting sexual relationships between Black men and white women, knowing that these couples will produce children with a lessened genetic power to breed them out of existence.

In more layman's terms, this is basically a plot to get rid of darker-skinned Black people.

Now, what I've also heard about the pairing of Finn and Rey in this film, is their relationship is strictly platonic. I was also told that there's an awkward moment in the film, where Finn first meets Rey, and he grabs her hand while they're traveling to some destination. Right afterwards, Rey rejects Finn's gesture. Now, anyone who's been watching films for more than a decade knows how this kind of plot function works, first any couple are distrustful of each other, and they display this throughout the first part of the film, but eventually, their emotional ice thaws and they develop deeper feelings for one another. But I've also heard from countless sources, that there's absolutely no romantic or sexual overtures exhibited between these two during the course of this movie.

However, even though we don't see this physically being acted out on the screen, there is a 'symbolic' copulation going on between these two, and let me explain what I'm talking about...

First off, you have to remember this is a 'Disney' film, so it's got to be exceptionally family-friendly. Meaning, Disney can't have its image besmirched by any overt cinematic sexuality. Second, for decades, the genre of pornography that's been most profitable, has been 'inter-ethnic' (or what mainstream culture calls 'interracial') porn. And the sub-genre of this kind of porn, that usually outperforms the others, is inter-ethnic porn that pairs Black men with white women. That's because for decades, the greatest sexual taboo, especially for white women, was having sex with a Black man. And it still is today.

Mind you, just several decades ago, Black men were hung and brutally murdered for even whistling at a white woman (Emmett Till). So this kind of sex act was, and again still, is considered the most salacious of them all. And this has been seared into the mind of every american. Now, I can't speak to the mind-sets of other continents, but I suspect that it's not much different in other parts of the world.

So whenever we see any kind of pairing between a strapping/hulking Black man, and a white woman, our minds instantly go to thoughts of this sexual taboo. Whether we want them to or not.

And let me mention one more thing, I'm in no way cheer-leading, or endorsing the paring of Black men and white women in the media, because I know its true agenda. I understand this is being done in the name of the white fascist campaign to get rid of 'pure-bred', or 'pure-bred' looking Black men and women with the most genetic power to breed whites out of existence. So there's no 'wish fulfillment' going on here, where I'm just wanting a sexual relationship between Finn and Rey, when there's not one. What I'm showing you, are the sublime way(s) that this movie's franchise, and it's promotional powers, are being used to influence the public.

If anything, this should make Black men more attracted to Black women. Cause white fascists are doing everything they can to morph white women into women who look like ours. And once again, this is so Black men will be more attracted to what was once the pale-skinned, flat-assed and less curvaceous white woman.

And speaking of Black men being more attracted to Black women, I want to hit on the two most powerful messages of this movie...so let's go ALL THE WAY IN...

The first of the movie's most powerful messages comes to light when Rey goes to see Maz Kanata, who is played by the beautiful sista, Lupita Nyong'o (who should have been cast as Rey). Now, I think we all remember how much fan-fare Lupita's looks were given with her appearance on the cover of 'People' magazine. But during the course of the film, Lupita's character is morphed into an orange creature with Yoda-like features. So the message being sent here, especially to Black men, is WE SHOULD NEVER THINK THAT A BLACK WOMAN'S BEAUTY CAN COMPARE TO A WHITE WOMAN'S! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO A DARKER-SKINNED BLACK WOMAN!

THIS WAS DONE TO KEEP BLACK MEN THINKING THAT BLACK WOMEN ARE UNATTRACTIVE!

Remember, at the very nucleus of this film, and the white fascist agenda, is the tenet of keeping Black men and women apart by any means necessary! Especially in the case of darker-skinned Black men and women, who will produce the most 'pure-bred' type of Black person, who again, has the greatest genetic power to breed whites out of existence. So Lupita and John Boyega were specifically cast for these roles because of their color. Now, this is no diss to their acting prowess, but I'm not here to comment on their level of craft, I'm here with a different mission, or mission statement.

But the movie's most powerful message is this...and for those who haven't seen the film, this is gonna' be a SPOILER! So if you're hell-bent on not knowing how this movie ends, ya' might wanna' stop reading now.

John Boyega's character Finn dies doing battle with the movie's villian Kylo Ren. Interestingly enough, when he's struck down, Rey, the white woman, finishes Kylo off. So actually, there's a couple of messages being sent here: First, is how Rey's ability to defeat Klyo after Finn's death, shows how she, in some way, received Finn's 'FORCE'.

Now, to understand the secondary symbolism behind this, I'll reference another of George Lucas' films, 'Red Tails'. In that flick, the ace Black pilot Joe 'Lightning' Little, right after he engages an enemy aircraft with a white guy at the helm, shoots the enemy aircraft down in a 'head-to-head' battle, and is killed himself. But right before he and his plane are destroyed, he looks at a picture of the white woman he's in a relationship with, and says, “I love you.” Then he and his plane go down in flames.

So what is this ultimately saying?

Both of these films are sending the message that BLACK MEN SHOULD LOVE WHITE WOMEN TO DEATH! LITERALLY!!

These films are saying that any Black man who's attained a heightened amount of access to resources, via a rare talent, should share those resources with a white woman he loves...or at least any kind of non-Black woman, exclusively.

And once again, this ties back to the white fascist agenda of keeping the Black man and woman apart AT ALL COSTS!!

Now, to wrap this up, let me say that the REAL FORCE that's awakened in this world, is the Black Nationalist/Pan-Africanist force, and that's what John Boyega's 'Finn' really represents...let me explain....

The 'awakened' force was evident in the young Black men and women in Ferguson, Missouri, who revolted behind the unjustified killing of Eric Garner, and how they maintained the revolt to the point where it got Eric's parents to stand before United Nations officials, to tell them what kind of brutality they were suffering at the hands of white thrill-kill, gestapo-like cops in that american state.

The awakened force is evident in the young Black men of the University Of Missouri's football team, who got the bigoted white university president, Tim Wolfe, fired after he wrongly thought he'd continue to get away with his derogatory rants about the very players who are making that college, and its staff members, rich.

We see the awakened force in other athletes like Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, who after spending years being exploited and marginalized by Bob Arum's boxing promotion company over at HBO, created his own boxing promotions company, 'Mayweather Promotions'. And after 49 fights, he remains an undefeated boxing champion. On top of that, not only is his company worth nearly a billion dollars, but he runs it with a team of brothas who manage it with precision.

And last but not least, we saw the awakened force with the election of Barack Obama. 

Now, you might be saying, what a minute bruh...I was with you up until you mentioned that sell-out Obama.

Don't get me wrong, I know Obama is a bona-fide stooge when it comes to his white freemasonic affiliations, but the Black Diaspora needs to understand two things about Barack's election, and those are: One, if Obama was really down for us, I mean for real down for us...white fascists would've killed him a long time ago. So all he could really offer us was one thing...HOPE!

Two: the master-teaching Bobby Hemmitt, said this about Barack's election: “I don't care if Hitler himself appointed Barack, they messed up when they elected him president.”

Now, what Bobby was talking about was Obama being a SYMBOL for the Black Diaspora. And every white fascist freemason knows how powerful symbols are. So they should've known that all the Black Diaspora needed, especially in america, was to SEE BARACK IN THAT SEAT! That's all it took to awaken the force(s) within us.

What we are seeing family, is the dismantling of the global white fascist power structure, one institution at a time. On top of that, we're also seeing this melanated earth, literally cleansing herself of the white menace. That's why white people are being bred out of existence ORGANICALLY!

Now once again, I can indeed make a distinction between white people and white fascists, but what these occurrences and this movie are telling us is these people had their time...now, IT'S OUR TIME!!

AND FAMILY...I SAY, IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

Later...
