Johnny Allen Hendrix, better known as 'Jimi' Hendrix, was born in Seattle, Washington on November 27th, 1942. Son of James Allen Ross Hendrix and Lucille Jeter, young Jimi so adamantly strummed on a broom like it was a guitar, his father thought to buy him a one-stringed ukulele. Jimi was so prodigious in the stylings of Robert Johnson and B.B. King with this one-stringed instrument, that his father bought him a used acoustic guitar when he was 16.
Jimi left high school and enlisted in the army; it was there he met bass player Billy Cox who he formed a fast friendship and a band with called the 'King Casuals'. After a parachuting accident, Jimi was honorably discharged from the army. Thereafter, he earned a reputation as an exceptionally competent backup guitarist/session player. Over the next few years, Jimi played with such notable groups/acts as the Isley Brothers, Little Richard and Ike and Tina Turner amongst others.
Sam Cooke was born on January 22, 1931 in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He was one of eight children of Charles Cook Sr., a baptist minister. Early in his youth, Sam's voice got him noticed as having the intangible 'it' factor that made him stand out from his peers in his father's gospel youth choir.
By the time Sam was 20, his voice was honed into a finely tuned instrument, and he replaced R.H. Harris in the gospel group, the 'Soul Stirrers'. Now, R.H. was a legendary singer in his own right and the Soul Stirrers at the time, where one of america's most popular groups; but when Sam took over as lead vocalist, their popularity increased ten fold.
After singing with the Soul Stirrers for six years, Sam decided to try his hand at secular music. His hypnotically smooth voice and stylings won him a hit record with his 1957 release of 'You Send Me'; which sold over a million copies. Sam is also credited as being one of the architects of the Soul/Rhythm and Blues genres, along with other giants of the industry like Jackie Wilson.
Now, the story of these two brothers converge when they find initial success emulating the uptight and passionless music of the white mainstream; Jimi with
his band 'The experience' and Sam Cooke who was doing his level best to sound and mold himself, especially vocally, in the fashionings of Frank Sinatra.
Side note: I shake my head when I think of the band Procol Harum's song, 'Whiter Shade of Pale'; the ghastly pallid lead singer tries to sing the song as soulfully as he can, while talking about someone's 'ghostly' skin turning a whiter shade of pale. I guess they had no idea, or didn't wanna' admit they were emulating, or trying to emulate, Black soul music. Recently, when I told a white woman on line that Black people created Rock and Roll, one dunce of a white man responded saying, 'what?lol'. They have no idea how the music they identify with so much was once called 'jungle music' 'cause Black people created it and were the only ones, in it's inception, who were playing it. I told the inbred to google the names, 'Chuck Berry' and 'Little Richard'; I haven't heard from them since.
But back to Jimi and Sam... it was after these brothers came up outta' trying to emulate white mainstream artists and started discovering their own melanated stylings, that they created their masterworks. Case in point, Jimi's album 'Electric Ladyland' and it's song 'Voodoo Chile' (Slight return). In it Jimi says: "Well I stand up next to a mountain and I chop it down with the edge of my hand...'cause I'm a Voodoo Chile, Lord knows I'm a Voodoo Chile..." And Sam with his album 'Live at the Harlem Square club' pictured above; Sam accessed his Black spirituality, i.e. soul, and found out, that's what whitey wanted most. Understand, because caucasians have nearly no melanin, they can't access the depths of emotions we can; therefore, whenever they hear our soulful stylings in their rawest form, they immediately gravitate to it. They envy our access to spirituality 'cause they're incapable of getting there themselves, you feel me.
And at the latter stages of their lives, they were both murdered by corrupted crakas when they tried to reclaim monies stolen from them by an assortment of pale-skinned degenerates.
Now, ever since I was young I heard Jimi Hendrix choked on his own puke because he accidentally overdosed on barbiturates. And it was a young sista who told me emphatically that Jimi Hendrix was murdered. Now evidence points to the fact that the man who actually put the hit out on him was his manager Mike Jeffries. Mike was an interesting fellow, to say the least; he formerly worked for british intelligence before becoming a music manager and had ties to organized crime families. Jimi was killed right before he was gonna' take Mike to court for monies Mike stole from him; and it's said that years after Jimi died, Mike confessed to having him killed saying, "I had to do it, he would have ruined me."
In Sam's case, he was reportedly killed by Bertha Franklin, manager of the Hacienda motel in Los Angeles, CA. Now, newspapers reported that Sam was shot by Bertha, but upon seeing Sam's body at his funeral, singers like Etta James said his head was so badly disfigured that it looked like he'd been beaten to death. It's funny how this happened right after he opened his own publishing and record companies, and filed a lawsuit against a former manager who had ties, again, to organized crime.
Now, I've said all that to say this, Sam especially was very mindful about playing to integrated audiences and he was very vocal about his support for the Black 'Civil Rights movement'; now, had he known how he was going to wind up, do you think he'd have tried so hard to sing to whitey?
Had Jimi and Sam performed for their people exclusively, they'd still be alive today.
Now, this was just a tale of two extraordinarily talented brothas in the arts; think of how much more our people have been affected politically, by literally dying to sit and go to school next to a white person. Socio-politically, we've lost everything trying to get close to whitey, up to and including our lives. And I've already talked about the price we've paid in terms of these fascist bastards making us hate ourselves.
Why is it that the Black 'nuclear' family was more in tact in the 1920's than it is now? Homogeneity, i.e. segregation, is what the Black Diaspora needs to thrive in the coming years, decades, etc. We need to be able to work by ourselves, for ourselves, exclusively.
Now, I understand that we've built lives here, so we can't just pick up and go; but we should start making preparations to get the hell from around whitey. Now, the first step in this migration is mental. We have to know we can not only survive, but ultimately thrive away from white folks. And it starts by getting rid of our love for these inbreds and getting rid of the hatred we have for our own kind. Pretty soon I'm gonna' divulge a quicker meditative method for doing this subconsciously, so stay tuned to this Blog for that technique.
But beyond this, is this something the Black Diaspora as a whole, sees that we need to do? How many more Mike Browns, Eric Garners, Trayvon Martins, etc. do there have to be for us to understand we'll never peacefully co-exist with these beasts called white people? Hurricane Katrina should have been the LAST STRAW!! We should have revolted behind that...but we're so conditioned to love whitey, that half the people celebrating in Louisiana's marde gras right afterwards, were us.
We need to make a decision people, do we want to perish trying to be with whitey, or do we want to survive what's coming and thrive in a nation full of our own kind? The choice is ours, and it's one we need to make before it's too late.
Sutekh!

In 1712, William Lynch, a british slave owner in the West Indies, was brought to the american colony of Virginia to consult a large group of slave-owning inbreds on how to curb the mass revolts that were happening in the area.
The term 'lynching' referring to the hanging of Black men in america was actually attributed to him and his surname.
Now, I'm figuring if you've been reading my Blog for any amount of time you've heard about or have actually read this letter. But in case you haven't, I'm going to go over its main tenets here.
But before we do that, let's go over this first part of the Willie Lynch speech/letter in its entirety...
Gentlemen. I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year
of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank
you, the gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am
here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your
invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies, where I
have experimented with some of the newest, and still the oldest,
methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program
is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for
our illustrious King, whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw
enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of
wood as crosses for standing human bodies along its highways in great
numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasions. I caught
the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree, a couple miles back. You
are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having
uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the
fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your
animals are killed. Gentlemen, you know what your problems are; I do not
need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here
to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I HAVE A FULL PROOF METHOD FOR CONTROLLING YOUR BLACK SLAVES.
If installed correctly, it will control the slaves for at least three hundred years.
My method is simple. Any member of your family or your overseer can use it. I
HAVE OUTLINED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENCES AMONG THE SLAVES; AND I TAKE
THESE DIFFERENCES AND MAKE THEM BIGGER. I USE FEAR, DISTRUST AND ENVY
FOR CONTROL PURPOSES.
These methods have worked on my modest
plantation in the West Indies and it will work throughout the South.
Take this simple little list of differences and think about them. On top
of my list is “AGE,” but it’s there only because it starts with an “a.”
The second is “COLOR” or shade. There is INTELLIGENCE, SIZE, SEX, SIZES OF PLANTATIONS, STATUS on plantations, ATTITUDE
of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East,
West, North, South, have fine hair, course hair, or is tall or short.
Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of
action, but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST AND ENVY STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION. The Black slaves after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for HUNDREDS of years, maybe THOUSANDS.
In a nutshell, what dastardly Will is advocating is exploiting the differences between slaves so they'll fight amongst each other. In the latter part of this speech, he makes this plain by saying slave owners should pit light-skinned slaves against dark-skinned slaves, young slaves against older slaves, males slaves against female slaves, house slaves against field slaves, etc.
Now, not only are these methods still effective, but because of the 1964 Civil Rights act signed by President Johnson, which basically made 'integration' the law in america, these methods work more powerfully now than they did under segregation laws. Let me explain why...
In the early 1900's Tulsa, Oklahoma's 'Black Wall Street' was a thriving metropolis where many Black men were multimillionaires. The Black Diaspora there literally had their own banks, grocery stores, bus lines and every other kind of business associated with a thriving city. The american government bombed this city in 1921, calling this a 'race riot' to cover up for their dastardly method of stopping this city from continuing to prosper. Blacks were getting too powerful and Black women could wholly depend on Black men in this city to provide them and their children with food, clothing and shelter.
But the white elites were smart enough to realize that if they could keep bombing this community, Blacks staying in these segregated areas, would continue to build these businesses back up, thus continuing their growth. So whitey needed a sure-fire way to get our money into their pockets...their answer, intergration.
Enter Martin Luther King Jr.
Now, MLK spearheaded the Civil Rights movement and integration which was a trick played on us again, to get our dollars into white pockets. And it worked! We've never been as powerful since. Fast forward about fifty years later and this doctrine works so well, and Black men and women have been rendered so dysfunctional by its effects, that we can hardly date each other or engage in loving relationships with one another anymore.
The first thing elitist white fascists did when we entered their school system was create an 'education' specifically designed to make Black people hate themselves and each other; so for seventeen or eighteen years, if you're a Black man or woman reading this, you and I have been ingesting or ingested the white supremacist conditioning that has us now relegating ourselves to the status of sex toys for white, asian and spanish men and women.
How you ask?
If again, you are a Black man or woman reading this, whitey has us hating one another so much that we now spend the majority of our lives trying to date and mate anyone except another Black man or woman...ESPECIALLY if we have a college degree.
Also, the main tenet of the Willie Lynch letter is slave owners MUST GET THE BLACK WOMAN AWAY FROM THE BLACK MAN! It is and was imperative that Black men and women were and are made to hate each other through these white supremacist initiatives.
Now, I've said all that to say this, at some point we have to at least acknowledge 'consciously' that this was DONE TO US BY WHITE PEOPLE!
We can't keep thinking white people are our friends without staying in this cycle of dysfunction for the rest of our lives. Now, if you've been reading this Blog at all for the past couple of months, you probably know I advocate the use of meditative techniques to recondition ourselves out of this self-hatred at the 'subconscious' level. But as of late, I've gotten a lot of resistance to this idea. So what I'm advocating, or pushing for now is to make the Black Diaspora aware, at least consciously, that this was done to us; that's why the Black Diaspora is so ready to hate and hurt our own kind. If we can acknowledge this consciously, maybe it will lead to our doing something to correct this at the subconscious level, 'cause that's the place you really have to go to change behavior.
Or at this point, is the Black Diaspora so far gone, we don't have any chance of getting our right minds back?
I say where there's life, there's hope...and I can't give up on my people, it's just not in my nature.
So, if you are a Black man or woman reading this who considers themselves a Black Nationalist, conscious, or who just gives a damn about their people, and if you ever find yourself tempted to cast aspersion on our people for our negative behavior(s), think about the conditioning we've endured to make us this way. Remember, WE WE'RE NOT BORN LIKE THIS AND WE'RE NOT DOOMED TO CONTINUE BEING THIS WAY!
And the changing of our people believe it or not, starts with YOU!
So what are you willing to do to break this vicious cycle?
Later...

"...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...
Later,
MontUHURU Mimia
