The gospel of white fascism (Part 32)...the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, what Lincoln and Mo'Nique have in common, and one mo' comment about the "Gullah Wars"...


“Give me control of a nation's money, and I care not who makes the laws.” 
—Mayer Rothschild

Just the other day, I was conversing with a 19 year old brotha, and the american president “Abraham Lincoln” came up. Immediately, this young brotha stated that Lincoln “freed the slaves”—meaning, he freed Black american slaves, during periods of american chattle and indentured slavery. And when I told him the reason(s) why Lincoln didn't free any Black american slaves, the brotha asked: “Then why was he killed if he didn't free us?”

I didn't let the young brotha know this—but I was mortified.

Cause not only was the brotha tricked into believing that Abraham Lincoln freed our people, but the american (mis)educational system, conditioned him to think that's the very reason why he was murdered.

Then I thought, it's a darn shame that our young people are being so misguided by america's schools—which is why I'll soon write a post about “homeschooling”, but then I thought, wait a sec'—most Black american adults, don't really know why (stinkin') Lincoln was murdered.

So that's what I'll expound on in this post.

Now, to answer the question of why Lincoln was murdered, we have to look at america's “Civil War” (1861-1865), and the nature of war itself. And what every Black man and woman reading this needs to know is, all national and international wars are fought so elites can keep the proletariat in “debt”.

PERIOD.

Meaning, white fascist-run federalized banking systems, only make money by charging interest to the public (us) for the privilege(s) that go along with handling their “currency” (dollars, yen, pesos, shekels, etc.). Now, at a more localized, or “tribal” level, any kind of “civic” war might have to do with the principles of fighting off oppressive forces, or liberating yourself from an invading enemy, but once these battles go national and international, they're being financed by white fascists.

Now with that said—let's look at Lincoln...

During america's “Civil War”, Lincoln needed money to finance “war efforts” from the North. And the “international” bankers, were more than happy to oblige him, but as par for the course, these “banksters” were gonna' charge him 24% to 36% interest on those notes. So what Lincoln did was create a currency that would be exclusively american, and he printed about $400 million dollars worth of this money, which had a “green” color affixed to it's back—thus people started calling american dollars, “greenbacks”.

A short time later, The “London Times” published an article stating that if these greenbacks were to become a “staple” of america's economy, they would not only satisfy Civil War efforts, but our country would be debt free behind them. This article also stated that it would set a precedent for other countries to follow, and as a result, it would: “...destroy every monarchy on the globe.”

Needless to say, whitey can't have that...

So, a short time later, international bankers hired a mercenary named, John Wilkes Booth, to fire the fatal shot that assassinated america's 16th president.

That's also why, in 1913, america created and passed the “Federal Reserve Act”. Now, abiding by this, meant america's Congress gave up the right to print its own money—and it gave that power solely to a “Federal Reserve” (read: privately owned) bank, that freely charges any amount of interest it wants.

Now of course, there's gonna' be some silly negroes who make reference to the “Emancipation Procrastination”, I mean, “Proclamation”—so let's cover that right quick...

america's “Emancipation Proclamation” was an executive order issued by Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It ordered the freedom of slaves—not all slaves mind you, just those in 10 states. And to top that off, it was not an order backed by Congress, meaning, it was really a rubber stamp from jump. Additionally, the confederate states where slavery was legal, didn't recognize the proclamation as legitimate.

In other words, slave owning states simply ignored it.

Moreover, (stinkin') Lincoln was so low-down, that he ordered hundreds of freed Black americans, to be shipped to a Haitian cotton plantation, so they could be “re-enslaved” there.

So understand, BLACK americans OWE THIS MAN NOTHING!—CAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE DID FOR US—NOTHING!

In addition, when we look at the “Gullah Wars” (1739-1858), which is how Black men really fought and won their freedom, we see how literally hundreds of revolts like Nat Turner's, were commonplace amongst our people. Meaning, the american (mis)educational system telling us that we just sat back and were content to be slaves, was a LIE!

A BIG-AZZED, BOLD-FACED ONE!

Now, I realize there's still gonna' be some anglophilic negroes, who're so indoctrinated to the white fascist fable of Lincoln freeing Black slaves, that they're bound to be sayin—c'mon bruh—there ain't no whites who can vouch for any of us fighting that fiercely in or outside the Civil War.

So ya' want some proof?

Bet.

Check out what James Gilpatrick Blunt (who was a white Civil War general) said about the Black troops, who ultimately won the war for the north. "The question that negroes will fight is settled; besides, they make better soldiers in every respect than any troops I have ever had under my command."

James wrote this in a letter to a friend on July 27th, of 1863. 

And speaking of written letters, check out what stinkin' Lincoln wrote in a letter to his friend, Horace Greely: “If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it...”

And that's why I put this particular pic of Lincoln (right) in the center of this post's Header. Here, we see the true “honest” Abe Lincoln, who looks like some kinda' drunken fool (and you can click on the pic to enlarge it). Now, you may ask, bruh, why would you call Lincoln a fool, when he's so exalted around the world as this great emancipator?

Here's why...

It's cause Abe was shot in the head, by the same elitists he worked for. He did everything in his power to save the union, but couldn't save his own life.

Dumb-ass.

So like I said in my previous post about Mo'Nique, when you get in bed, literally or figuratively, with white fascists, you need to understand that you can ONLY be successful, ON THEIR TERMS! If you challenge them, they're either gonna' kill you, or your career—and that's what Abe Lincoln and Mo'Nique have in common.

So in conclusion, if and when you ever get the notion to praise stinkin' Lincoln for the “liberation” of our people, do some research and venerate the memories of revolutionary brothas like Nat Turner and Denmark Vesey instead (and if ya' don't know who they are—google them).

And after you do, throw the memories of presidents like Abe Lincoln, George Washington and Thom Jefferson, where they rightfully belong—on the trash heaps of history.

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

The Barbary Slave Trade (Remix)


6/3/16: Hotep and Sutekh family...just wanna' let you know, this post isn't about the 'Trans-Atlantic slave trade' or the enslavement of Black people. This post is about a time when ancient Black people enslaved millions of white people. More specifically, it's about the Black 'Berber' people of north Africa enslaving some 2 million white christians at the same time the Trans-Atlantic slave trade occurred. So if you want to read more about that, take a look at this post. I promise...you'll be glad ya' did. 
-MontUHURU Mimia 

The Black man who inspired me to write this Blog, is now waxing philosophic about the openly bigoted nature of the superhero films he loves to see. But because his subconscious mind is anchored in a profound self-hatred, he’s not speaking disparagingly about the white fascists who green-lit, wrote and cast these films, he’s pointing an accusing finger back at Black people and saying we lack the critical thinking skills to recognize the film’s bigotry like he does.

Which goes to show you, how in the mind-set of Black self-hatred, no matter how much white fascists are at fault, you always have to put the blame on Blacks.

Now understand what I’m NOT saying…I’m not saying this man was born with this self-hatred, I’m saying it was bred into him by the white fascist social order we live in. This is especially true when it comes to the american educational system. And at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’ll say again, that Black people get taught to hate themselves more than any other kind of person on the planet, cause we have the most genetic power to breed whites out of existence.

Mind you, when I first visited this man’s blog, he was a ‘pro-Black’ advocate. That’s what initially drew me to his blog and kept me coming back. Then, his true colors showed (pun intended) and he revealed himself as an epic anglophile. Now, what if I’d been an impressionable young Black man looking for some sort of older role model? How would this have affected me?

Additionally, a bigoted white boy commented on one of my posts saying that I shouldn’t extol the virtues of ancient Black people, cause all we’ve done throughout history is eat and sleep (and he used more colorful language than that). He also said that in regards to slavery, even though the very word ‘slave’ comes from the white ‘Slavs’, or Slavic people, white people never sold each other into slavery, and they never sold their own kind to Black people, because their scruples wouldn’t allow them to do that.

After I read the white boy’s comment, and I thought about the Black man who inspired me to write this blog, I thought I’d take some time to tell readers about a slave trade that goes completely unmentioned in the annals of white fascist history.

Between the years of approximately 1530 A.D. to 1780 A.D., Black Africans abducted nearly 2 million white people in what’s known as the ‘Barbary Slave Trade’.

The term ‘Barbary’ refers to the Black ‘Berber’ peoples of Northern Africa’s coastal regions. And quite frankly, the reason whites gave the area this name was because they were conquered by these Black people, so the term ‘Barbary’ is really another way of saying ‘Barbaric’ or ‘Barbarian’.  It’s the same reason they gave the name ‘dread-locks’ to ancient Black people. ‘Cause when white colonizers encountered Black people with knotted hair, they said they were some of the most fearsome warriors they contended with. That’s why they ‘dreaded’ our people with ‘locks’. And that’s why we should only refer to them as ‘locks’, not ‘dreads’ or ‘dreadlocks’.

Now, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how some people (some Black island people included) say that Black americans didn’t fight ‘hard’ enough to get out of slavery. That’s a complete lie. During the Civil War, when white northern armies were getting their rear ends kicked by southern whites, the white north began recruiting Black men to fight against southern militias. And Black american men fought so gallantly and fiercely, that both white southern and northern armies were forced to take notice.

To the point where General Ulysses S. Grant proclaimed to Abe Lincoln that: “By arming the Black troops, we have added a powerful ally.” And because Black men now had guns, both armies of white men agreed to free our people after the war for fear that we’d unleash that kind of terror on them. And I know inevitably, some brainwashed negro is gonna’ bring up Abraham Lincoln and still proclaim that ultimately, it was him who set us free. And to that I’ll say, Lincoln himself said in a letter to Horace Greeley that if he could keep the union together without ending slavery, he would. Moreover, Lincoln owned slaves. And Lincoln was so low down, that he had hundreds of freed american slaves sent to his slave colony in Haiti to be ‘re-enslaved’. So that should tell you all you need to know about ‘stinkin’ Lincoln’. Or at least that’s what I call him.

Moving on…

The ‘Berber’ Blacks raided up coastlines of europe, particularly the British isles and even as far as iceland, capturing and enslaving white christians. And these whites were forced to work as galley slaves, laborers and concubines for ancient Black people.

Any Black man and woman reading this should also note that the ‘Berbers’ were master sea navigators. And they were often referred to as Barbary ‘pirates’ because they were especially adept at pillaging the ships of europeans and taking their goods (Somali pirates).

Now, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, which is the only slave trade we get taught about in american schools, is said to have taken place roughly between the 1600’s and 1800’s. So what does that mean in the context of this article? Well, since the Barbary Slave Trade took place from roughly 1530-1780, Blacks were enslaving whites at the same they were enslaving us.

Which begs the obvious question: If these slave trades were happening at the same time, why do we always hear about the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade, but never the Barbary Slave Trade?

It’s because the white fascists who control the american educational system want Black people to feel inferior to them and other whites, from the cradle to the grave.

And they couldn’t do that if we knew about the Barbary Slave trade. Cause once they tried to show us TV dramas like ‘Roots’ or crap movies like 'Django Unchained', then we could counter them by saying: “Well, why don’t you make a TV show or movie about how my people enslaved yours?”

Now inevitably, some white or brainwashed Black person is gonna’ say: “Well, you can’t compare the two trades, cause during the ‘Trans-Atlantic’ slave trade, 10 to 20 million Black people were enslaved, as opposed to the ‘Barbary Slave Trade’, where only 2 million whites were enslaved."

And I’d counter with this: Well, during my entire school career, I was made to believe that the only slaves that existed in the world were ‘Black’ slaves. I was never taught that there was any other kind of slave but ones who looked like me. Also, when you talk about the 2 million white jews who died at the hands of white 'Nazi' germans in the 'Holocaust', no one ever says that only 2 million of those people suffered in those concentration camps and jewish ghettos. 

I have to admit family, it took me more than three decades to find this out. And the majority of Black people I know, from ages 8 to 80, will never know this.

Now, Blacks being told that we were the only slaves in world history, is a key component in the white fascist engineering that destroys the esteem of our people. It’s one of the many ways we are made to hate ourselves more than anyone on this earth. Just like the Black man who inspired me to write this blog does.

And if you’d like to do your own research on the ‘Barbary Slave Trade’, one popular book on this subject is titled: ‘Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: white Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800’ by Robert Davis, an Ohio State University professor. But if you look at other books on this topic, what you’ll find are depictions of Black men enslaving white women. And this is done for two reasons:

One, it reinforces the damsel in distress archetype given to white women. This is used to extol the virtues of a white female’s vulnerability, knowing this trait is the one that attracts a man to a woman most. To further clarify this point, it’s saying that white women are the epitome of feminine beauty.

Two, it's saying that Black men weren’t strong enough to enslave white men. So it reinforces the white man’s false image as the world’s ‘alpha’ male.

But beyond this, history also notes how some of these Black ‘Barbary’ pirates got their white slaves by buying them from white slave masters. Cause one argument I hear over and over again from white and Black people, is how especially dastardly we are cause we're the only people who sold each other into slavery.

Now inevitably, there’s gonna’ be some brainwashed anglophile of a Black person who’s gonna’ tell me…bruh, you can’t be proud that your people enslaved white folks. That’s ignorant. All this proves is how ancient Black people were just as nefarious as whites were. And what I have to say to that, is this: Two wrongs don’t make a right, but it damn sure makes it even!

Cause for too long we’ve seen ourselves endure the worst kinds of torture at the hands of inhumanly cruel whites. And all that serves to do is keep whites feeling superior, while keeping us feeling inferior. Not only to white people, but to every kind of person on this planet.

And let me add, that knowing these facts is one of the ways Blacks can get out of a self-hating mind-set. THIS IS HOW WE APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE TO HELP US IN OUR DAILY LIVES!!

Meaning, when I walked down the street a decade ago and passed an asian person, especially a fair-skinned asian, my conditioning told me they had the right to put on airs cause they’re exceptionally brilliant and hard-working. Today, when I see any snobbish asian person, I know they represent the majority of the people on this planet who are starving to death. Cause my research has shown me that the continent leading in rates of world hunger is asia…NOT AFRICA!

AND THAT’S HOW KNOWLEDGE BECOMES POWER!

So now, whenever I see any asian person, I look through them…cause I know they ain’t worth a damn. Because they have more access to the white privilege than Black people do, especially fair-skinned asians (and this is only because fair-skinned asians have the least amount of genetic power to breed whites out of existence). AND THEY STILL LOST!!

So, if you’re a Black man or woman reading this, and you happen across any kind of Black slave narrative on a TV, computer, or smart-phone, understand that in the annals of history, your ancestors had the physical and economic might to enslave whites, the same way their ancestors enslaved yours.

And that's definitely something every Black person should remember on this ‘memorial day’.

The gospel of white fascism (Part 6)...The Roots 'reboot'...


Alexander Murray Palmer Haley, better known as ‘Alex’ Haley, was born on August 11, 1921. He was an american author credited for writing the 1976 book: ‘Roots: The Saga Of An American Family’.

In 1977 the book was adapted to a TV mini-series by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), and was said to have been watched by a record-breaking 130 million viewers. *Sidenote: I’d be remiss if I didn’t say how the ‘Nielsen TV’ ratings agency was found to have falsified ratings numbers several times in the past. And since they had a monopoly on this market back then, it’s hard to say how many people actually watched this show.

Now Alex acknowledged that his book ‘Roots’ was a novel. But he did say he’d traced his family’s history back to one of his real ancestors who was ‘Kunta Kinte’, the novel’s protagonist. According to Haley, Kunta Kinte was sold into slavery where he was given the name ‘Toby’ and while living under the tyrannies of his slave master John Waller, he fathered a daughter named ‘Kizzy’. Alex also claimed that Kizzy was his great-grandmother. He also said he identified the specific slave ship and voyage which took Kunta Kinte from Africa to america in 1767. 

But in 1978, Harold Courlander, who wrote the novel ‘The African’, sued Haley and charged him with copying 81 passages from his book. Courlander's pre-trial memorandum in the copyright infringement lawsuit stated: "Defendant Haley had access to and substantially copied from The African. Without The African, Roots would have been a very different and less successful novel, and indeed it is doubtful that Mr. Haley could have written Roots without The African ... Mr. Haley copied language, thoughts, attitudes, incidents, situations, plot and character."

Michael Wood, who was an English professor at Columbia University, submitted a report as an expert witness in the trial and said: The evidence of copying from The African in both the novel and the television dramatization of Roots is clear and irrefutable. The copying is significant and extensive ... Roots ... plainly uses The African as a model: as something to be copied at some times, and at other times to be modified, but always it seems, to be consulted ... Roots takes from The African phrases, situations, ideas, aspects of style and plot.

And it was upon this plagiarized semi-non-fictional book, that the Roots TV series was created.

With that said, if you’re a Black man or woman reading this, I’d just like to warn you that the remake of Roots is set to debut on Monday, May 30th, 2016. Yep…on ‘Memorial Day’ fam. The History Channel plans to run two hour episodes on four consecutive nights. And the worst part is, that buck-dancing, shufflin’ and head scratching negro Lavar Burton, the original Kunta Kinte, is actually executive-producing this piece of trash and said: "I am incredibly proud to be a part of this new retelling and start the dialogue again, at a time when it is needed more than ever.”

Now, I was one of the unfortunate souls who watched the 1977 version of this crap show in my pre-teens. And it reminded me of a sentiment I’d read in Dr. Huey P. Newton’s book, ‘Revolutionary Suicide’. And for those who don’t know, Dr. Huey P. Newton was the founder of The ‘Black Panther Party’. Anyway, Huey said when he was in elementary school, he didn’t know why he felt bad about being Black, he just knew he did. And this was the effect Roots had on me.

When I watched this show, I couldn’t necessarily follow the narrative, but I vividly remember Lavar Burton playing Kunta Kinte and how he was strung up and whipped until he submitted to being named Toby. Then in later episodes, I remember John Amos playing a mature Kunta Kinte and how his foot was chopped off for trying to escape the plantation. I also vividly remember one young Black woman screaming out for her mother as she was being taken from her family on the back of a horse-drawn buggy, while her mother looked on in horror, helpless to save her child.

Now, I also wanna’ state emphatically that Roots is being ‘rebooted’ for the same reason it was originally aired in the 70’s, and that reason is white fascist’s feel Blacks are becoming too upwardly mobile at this moment.

Now, a lot of you might be saying, Oh please…Blacks upwardly mobile in the 70’s and now!?

Absolutely!

So now you might be sayin', prove it bruh.

Bet…

Let’s look back at the 70’s. 

After the integration hoax was pulled on us, we did begin to acquire college educations and employment stats show wage gains for our people that started in 1965. As more of us were allowed to join unions and get 'city' and corporate jobs, we did begin steady climbs up the socio-economic ladder

And with TV shows like ‘The Jeffersons’, our people could visually see a representation of our upwardly mobile strides. The first line in this show’s theme song was: “Well, we’re movin’ on up…” And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how this show’s theme song was written and sung by Jan'et Dubois, who played ‘Willona’ on ‘Good Times’. And that was yet another symbol of our vaulting socio-economic status. Willona from the projects was now singin’ about a married Black couple ‘movin’ on up’ and how they ‘finally got a piece of the pie’.

And one place where our strides were especially evident, was 70’s Black cinema, or what white fascists and their lackeys were calling ‘Blaxploitation’ films.

One great example of this was the film ‘Uptown Saturday Night’ (1974). Sidney Poitier not only had the lead role in this movie, but he directed it and a Black man (Richard Wesley) wrote the screenplay.

And even movies like ‘Superfly’ had the anti-hero ‘Priest’ literally beating the hell outta’ white cops and driving off in his luxury car afterwards. And these same sentiments were echoed in movies like ‘Bucktown’ and ‘Three the Hard Way’. And what mainstream america surely doesn’t want us to know is how these films actually saved the white movie industry in the early 70’s, which was in a serious financial decline.

But white elites would have the last laugh in the 80’s, or what I call the ‘egregious eighties’. They did this by decimating our neighborhoods with the troika of ‘Reaganomics’, Crack and AIDS. This is how they figured they’d erase any forward strides we’d made or were planning to make.

Now let’s fast forward to today.

With the parents of Micheal Brown speaking at the United Nations behind their son’s murder, Judge Olu Stevens demanding to preside over juries that fairly represent African-Americans in Kentucky and The election of Barack Obama, elites feel we Black folks are getting a bit too ‘uppity’. Now, for any Black person saying that Obama’s a sell-out, I completely agree. But you have to understand two things: First, if Obama was really down for us, white fascists would have killed him a long time ago. Second, behind reason 1, all Obama could really offer us was hope…but that, and the symbolism of physically seeing him in that seat, was enough for us to initiate our upwards surge.

So behind these events and others like them, the Roots remake is about to be aired.

Now I’ve said all that to say this, If you’re a Black man or woman reading this post, you need to boycott this crap show by not watching it…and whatever you do, PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILDREN FROM WATCHING THIS B.S.!!! Cause this show's scenes of our people being tortured and forcibly separated from our families only serve as 'mental triggers’ for reasons why we should feel inferior to whites. On top of that, it also serves to reinforce reasons why we should hate ourselves and everyone who looks like us for being Black.

And that’s this show’s ONLY goal.

So for all the anglophilic, buck-dancin’ pseudo Black folks reading this who feel the need to revisit this show’s characters with names like ‘Chicken George’ and the like, I say you don’t deserve the privilege of being born in a Black body. And know that after you finish grinnin’ around the water cooler with your white co-workers about how much you loved this story’s retelling, that when you leave, those same white folks will laugh behind your back at how profoundly stupid you are. Cause at a time when whites are doing everything they can to emulate us via silicone injected lips, butts and tans, you have to be a damn fool to dote on seeing your people being treated like property.

But if you’re one of the Black people who paid to see ‘Django Unchained’, I’ll give you a pass. Cause more than likely, you clearly don't mind working at brain stem levels anyway.

And like Sam Jackson said in ‘Do The Right Thing’: “…that’s the triple truth, Ruth.”

Later…
