I've recently talked about the free e-book I'll put out in the near future, and I've released parts 1 and 2 on this Blog. But I've recently decided to add another short bio on a current Black revolutionary, who's extremely worthy of being in this tome; I won't tell you who that person is, for that you'll have to check out the book when it's released. What I will do though, is share the third part of that book on this Blog. So without further ado, here's Part 3 of my e-book: The legend of Katt Williams. Enjoy this.
Now, I have to be honest about my original feelings for Katt Williams.
At first, to me, Katt was the kind of comic I'd call a 'whiskey and weed' comedian.
This is what I term any comic who tells a bunch of third rate jokes that aren't very cerebral and they mostly exploit the cultural differences between Black and white people in an effort to expend the least amount of mental energy possible.
For them it's all about the quick laugh and quicker buck. Beyond that, I had a problem with Katt's 'pimp' facade and his gratuitous use of then 'n-word'.
Now, when I say I had a problem with his use of the 'n-word', I don't mean that the same way a Black anglophile would mean it.
You see, I understand the origins of the 'n-word'.
The writings on pyramid walls that greeks/freaks call 'hieroglyphics' or 'hieroglyphs', are actually the original language of Black people called the 'Medu Netcher'. And in this language the word 'Negus' means King.
The word 'Nagas' was not only the name of an ancient Black tribe, but the very word means 'divine' in the Medu Netcher as well.
And 'Negus' is actually where the english got the word 'regis' from, which also means king; as used in words like 'registration' or 'registrar'.
But even knowing this, here's why I don't use this word around white people.
Whites are not sensitive or smart enough to realize that they shouldn't use this word towards us even though we use it amongst ourselves.
And I know what you're thinking, you're saying, if you don't want people to refer to you as that, why would any of you refer to each other that way?
Well, here's the thing...everyone uses ethnic slurs as endearments towards themselves, not only Black people.
Case in point, if you ever watched the martin scorsese film 'goodfellas' (martin's another neo-liberal white bigot I can't stand by the way), you'll see that irish and italian men are using ethnic slurs as endearments amongst themselves throughout the film.
And, a real life example of this is when I was speaking to an italian man, and he told me he doesn't go to certain clubs 'cause they're too 'guido'.
Now, I'm smart enough to realize that if I see another italian man, I'm not gonna' go up to him and say, "Yo...what's up guido..." 'cause I heard another italian guy use this word; because that's gonna' start a fight, and rightfully so...'cause I'm not one of his own kind.
But white people do this constantly.
What gets me really heated is when white people use this word, knowing they're using it in a derogatory manner, and when they get called on it, they say, "Oh...well, Blacks call themselves that..." And when they wake up in the E.R. they wonder why. But I digress...
It wasn't until Katt started taking a stance against the white elitist and american status quo that I really got a truer sense of who he was, or is.
See, people don't realize what performers, or any one else is risking when they take on white western fascism; especially when it comes to Black men. So, seeing that's what Katt was doing, I decided to find out a bit more about him, and here's what I found.
Micah Sliva Williams a.k.a. Katt Williams, was born on September 2, 1973 in Cincinnati, Ohio and was raised in nearby Dayton, Ohio.
Academic excellence was stressed in Katt's home during his formative years and as a result, he started reading at the age of 3.
Katt's precociousness lead him to win numerous scholastic awards at the age of 12 for his outstanding science projects, and his achievements won him a full scholarship to the National Science Academy in Dayton.
And its said the Katt has an I.Q. of 163 and is a member of Mensa, which is america's largest coterie of person's with 'ingenius' Stanford–Binet Intelligence scales test scores.
Katt's parents were very politically minded, which is probably one of the reasons why he joined the Nation of Islam as an adult; and I suspect these two sources are where he got his 'leftist' political tendencies from.
Unfortunately, with all the seeming advantages of Katt's home life, there came some disadvantages as well. Being that Katt's parent's were radically political, the living conditions he was brought up in were oftentimes unstable and turbulent.
This lead to Katt emancipating himself from his parents at the age of 13.
After leaving his parents home, Katt moved to Florida where he employed himself as a street vendor.
His first stand up performance came in his teens when he tried to get into a club he was too young to enter and saw a separate entrance for comics where I.D.'s weren't being checked.
He quickly hopped on that line and got in; but minutes later, he was called up to perform.
Not wanting to get kicked out, Katt regaled the audience with an impromptu five minute set which people thought was funny. Katt said it was that moment that inspired him to be a stand-up comic. In the years following, Katt honed his unique comic delivery in clubs nationwide; he regularly appeared at The Improv, The Comedy Store, The Icehouse and the Hollywood Park Casino. As his popularity grew, Katt was being hailed as one of the 'new breed' of young comics usurping the more mainstream stylings of Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle. Katt made a guest appearance on TV's NYPD Blue in 2002, followed by roles on the Tracy Morgan show, My wife and kids, The Boondocks and MTV's Wildin' out where he appeared for three seasons. Katt's film debut came in 2002 where he performed in his most famous role as 'Money Mike' in the movie 'Friday after next'; he kept the moniker for his side career as a rapper. His other film credits include: Rebound (2008), Epic Movie (2007) and Norbit (2007).
So, for all intent and purposes, Katt seemed to be living the charmed life of a celebrity.
Then something happened.
Katt saw how dastardly, corrupted and emasculating the machinations of american celebrity can be; especially towards Black people in general and Black men specifically. Like Dave Chapelle, he rejected his turn at wearing a dress to get ahead in Hollywood and he wouldn't cooperate with bigoted white producers who wanted to slander Black people covertly or overtly in their projects. The late Tupac Shakur and Chuck D of Public Enemy were both raised around cadres of Black Panthers; and in those circles, they imbibed in messages of Black power during their childhood that stuck with them throughout their adult lives and this influenced their artistic choices when it came to their careers. This was happening to Katt Williams.
Tupac Shakur said he never had an arrest record until he made a record, hence, when Katt Williams took this route, his arrest record began to grow.
Examples of this are:
On November 13, 2006, Williams was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after a stolen gun was found in his briefcase. On December 14, 2006, Williams pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor
count of carrying a concealed firearm and was sentenced to three years
probation, ordered to pay restitution, and was given credit for the
three days he spent in jail.
On November 9, 2012, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of
California County of Los Angeles which alleges that on October 6, 2012
Williams hit his former assistant with "a closed fist" causing serious
injury. The plaintiff is asking for punitive damages in the amount of $5
million. On December 7, 2012 Williams was arrested again in Dunnigan, California on a felony warrant arising from a November 25, 2012 incident in Sacramento, CA.
where he allegedly drove a three-wheeled motorbike on a sidewalk and
failed to stop for police. During the resulting police chase, Williams
is alleged to have nearly hit five people with his bike, which prompted
authorities to end the chase for safety reasons and issue the subsequent
warrant.
So the white fascists were hot on Katt's case; so much so that in 2012, a teary-eyed Katt announced his retirement from stand-up comedy on TV.
And this is where the white elite thought the story would end.
But something else happened.
Recently, DJ Vlad, who runs a very popular Hip-Hop based website asked a New York DJ about Katt's career. And this dunce of a DJ said, not only was Katt's career over, but he'd basically wind up in one of two places, a jail cell or an early grave.
Then DJ Vlad asked, "So why does he keep getting booked for shows?"
You see, Katt took a page out of the Dave Chappelle hand book that says, the white elite can take everything from you, but once you're famous, they can't make you unfamous.
Fascist whites looking to end Katt's career didn't realize they could strip him of everything but his talent and his name.
The celebrity name they gave him. So to this day, Katt is still on national tours, selling out large venue comedy clubs at will. White elitist fascists might have created speed bumps for Katt, but he's still on the road...and doing well. So, just like Dave Chappelle, Katt pimped the system, instead of letting the system pimp him. And like Dave, he didn't have to wear a dress to do it. This is yet another example of Black men showing the diaspora how to truly get free. And how to get whitey's fascist foot off your neck.
They're telling us to use white corporations as a springboard to create our own opportunities and our own businesses.
And the best part is, they're leaving a blueprint for the rest of us to follow.
So MA'AT HOTEP AND KEM WESIR TO THE NETJER/GOD KATT WILLIAMS!

P.S. Here's one of my favorite vids of Katt giving that queer bigot quentin tarantino the business.
Last night, I was watching my local PBS station, waiting for the start of the Tavis Smiley show.
Now, usually I know from the night before who Tavis will have on his show; but being that I missed a couple of airings, I didn't know who his guest would be. To my surprise, it was Nia Long from the movies 'Friday' and 'Boyz in the Hood'.
Now, I kind of liken the popularity of Nia Long to that of Halle Berry; in that they're both considered exceptionally good looking because they have european facial features, but neither one of these women is an exceptionally good actress.
But, one thing I know about Tavis, is he's a masterful interviewer; on many a night he's talked with what I thought was a mediocre half-celebrity, and had a dynamite interview. So I kept watching.
Now, Nia is starring in a upcoming movie called 'The Best Man Holiday', and the first movie of this series was pretty solid; there was some things I could take or leave, but overall, it was a decent movie about working class and upper-scale Black people. And I'm always for that.
So, as is customary with Tavis, before the interview started, he rolled a clip of the film.
What came on the screen was a shot of Nia kissing some random white guy while Taye Diggs' character looked on. At one point, Nia and this white guy were kissing so much that Taye's character asked if they needed a moment alone. Nia's character said no, in an effort to rub the fact that she was kissing a white guy in his face. Then the clip ended.
Tavis held his head in his hands and asked, "Why is your character kissing this white guy?"
Nia replied, "Oh, well...she's dating him."
When Tavis continued to voice his dismay about it, Nia replied that he would piss off his white male viewers.
Now, Tavis prides himself on being more politically correct than not, so when he openly said this, even I was kinda' shocked.
Then Tavis asked emphatically, "So you're in a relationship with this guy throughout the film?"
And Nia responded in the affirmative.
Now, I'm sorry if this is a spoiler alert to some, but this is exactly the reason why I won't see this film.
And I can hear sistas now saying, oh, here's another Black man who's mad when we date white guys.
Listen, my theory is this, go find love wherever you can; and if that's with a white person, so be it...here's my problem with that in this film though; 'The Best Man Holiday' is billing itself as a relationship movie made exclusively for Black people.
Now, if they're gonna' introduce some inter-ethnic, jungle fever type stuff, they should put that on the flyer, or in the trailer. It's kinda' like the cinematic version of a retailer's 'bait and switch' technique. This is just another sign of the white elite getting their Black stooges to push inter-ethnic relationships, especially for our people, so we won't have a chance to rebuild Black families in this country or in the diaspora. You'd think the producers of this film would be especially sensitive to this kind of cinematic skullduggery, in light of the fact that Black people really enjoyed the first film and were eager to see a sequel. Nope, they're just content to take whitey's money and push whitey's agenda. Sad.
This led me to think about Tommy Sotomayor. 'Cause recently, a fellow blogger e-mailed me a vid of his titled: 'Why men should boycott marriage', or something to that effect.
The person who sent it said Tommy was waxing philosophic about 'gender superiority' and how men get the shaft in marital court disputes.
Now, can the court system be favorable towards women? It can be; it can also be favorable towards whites (look up the court case of the Black actress Tonya Pinkins).
But that's not the point. The point is, this is another attempt by Uncle Tommy to keep Black people from marrying, period.
Again, Tommy's a white supremacist stooge who's being well paid to do their bidding. That's why I stopped listening to that sell out in the first place.
Now, I can also hear you guys thinking, c'mon bruh...you're asking people to boycott another film?
Actually no. On this post I'm not telling anyone what I think they should do, I'm saying I won't be going to see this flick.
And it's a shame, 'cause this is a film I wanted to see. I remember watching an episode of the Wendy Williams show back in the day...yeah, I watched a couple of her shows too; and Wendy had on Chris Rock and Nia as guests. Wendy asked both of them about their early dating lives and Nia said that she and Chris went out on a date, she also said at the end of it, Chris gave her a wrong number. Wendy asked Chirs if he'd done that purposely, and Chris announced emphatically that he did; which made the whole audience erupt with laughter. And the reason Chris said he did this was because he asked Nia if she was seeing anyone, and Nia said no, but she could get dick if she wanted it.
Then Chris admonished the females in the audience not to do that on a first date. Good stuff Chris. That was several years ago and Nia's still unmarried. Beyond the reasons I've never been impressed with Nia, this movie is a prime example again, of the lengths the white elite are going through to keep Black men and women separated and hating each other.
And is it working?
Stats from the u.s. census bureau say that Black people are the least likely to marry, and the current marriage rate for us is at approximately 35%.
Now, even though these numbers might be exaggerated, we know, that not enough of us are married, and not enough of us come from two parent households.
Nia even mentioned that in the cast of 'The Best Man Holiday', all of the Black men with lead roles are married and all of the black women in lead roles are unmarried.
She also went on to say that cast members would have discussions about why Black men couldn't handle strong, independent black women.
But this argument will ultimately lead to a stalemate.
'Cause after Black men and women talk about everything they can't stand about each other, the real question is this: if Black men and women are conditioned to hate themselves, how can they love one another?
And like I've said in the past, the real, real question is: how do we heal the rift between Black men and women?
Until we talk about that, everything else will ultimately result in a moot point. And this is a topic I promise I'll bring up in a future blog posting.
'Cause the solution is much like curing cancer naturally, in that it's simple, but it's not easy. So, this is one holiday flick I'll pass on. And if you're a 'conscious' or even a semi-conscious Black person, you might wanna' consider whether or not you'll give your money to a movie that promotes our division. 'Cause someone saying they're kind of pro-Black, or kind of a Black nationalist, is like saying you're kinda' pregnant; either you are or you're not...there is no in between. And I know where I stand.

I mean, I realize why all the critics hate it, and I understand why I shouldn't like it either; but there's something about this show that keeps me tuning in season after season.
The fact that this show seamlessly blends the televised genres of the classic soap opera with the best celebrity gossip news casts, says something about the ingenuity of the people producing it.
I liken this show's effects on people to the time I first read an issue of 'wired' magazine; I thought wow, I've never been so informed and entertained by one magazine in my life.
Of course there's nothing that edifying about this show, but it terms of pure entertainment value, I have to admit it's got all the right stuff.
And coincidentally, I stopped reading 'wired' because its writing staff is comprised of a bunch of 'neo-liberal' white bigots.
But in an attempt to understand the show's magnetism, I thought I'd look into the backstory of it's executive producer, and see how her career and life reflect what I'm seeing on the show.
After Mona Scott's collegiate years, she took on a job as the manager of a graphic designer's firm in New York City.
One christmas holiday, she took a side job as a P.R. (public relations) rep. at Radio City Music Hall. This is where she says she got her first taste of interacting with celebrities.
While taking dancing classes at a studio called 'Broadway Dance Center', she came in contact with a woman's dance consortium called 'Duntori'. They did A&R (artist and repertoire, i.e. artist development) for a musical group called the 'A-team'; and liking Mona's skills, they hired her to help with the group's choreography.
Unbeknownst to Mona, the group was managed by a company called the 'Trackmasters'; and after assessing her multi-tasking skills, they approached Mona about coming aboard to help manage their group. This is when Mona met the late Chris Lighty, being that he was a friend of the 'Trackmasters'.
After the 'Trackmasters' and Mona decided to part ways, she and Chris went on to form their own management company which they later named 'Violator' management.
At first, Mona was surprised at how comprehensive a job artist management was. She was at every meeting, she went on artist's tours, and she also styled 'Foxy Brown' for her first videos. She says she spent more time on the job than she did with her own family.
Mona says she recognized that as she built these artist's brands to the point where they were being called for spots on TV and certain sponsorships, that her artist's would turn to other managers who came in and took over; and she and Chris would be left out of those negotiations.
She and Chris then formulated a plan where they could maintain control of their artists at that phase of their careers.
This lead to a deal with the founder of a company called the 'Creative Artist's association'; and it was this connection that lead to a show starring Missy Elliott called 'Road to Stardom' for the 'UPN' network. This was one of the first shows dealing with artists showcasing their talents ala 'american Idol'. Mona said she liked the challenge of conceptualizing various elements of a TV show, and decided this is where she'd concentrate her future efforts. Love and Hip-Hop's Yandy Smith, was a co-worker of Mona's at Violator. She had taken on the managing of rapper Jim Jones and bought him to Mona as a client of Violator management. Jim Ackerman of VH1 wanted to build a show around Jim Jones at the time, but Jones was reluctant due to the fact that he had personal issues that made it hard for him to adapt to the 'reality show' format. Meaning, he couldn't stand being followed by cameras 24/7. So instead of concentrating on Jones, Mona concentrated on the females surrounding him; like his mother and his woman friend Chrissy Lampkin. And Mona noticed the popularity of reality TV shows that were more female-oriented, like the 'Real Housewives of...wherever'. And that's where the idea of 'Love and Hip-Hop' was born. Now, with that said, the ingenuity of Mona Scott's rise to power should definitely be applauded...but here's why I'm going to stop watching Love and Hip-Hop.
This show's portrayal of black women has them looking like the embodiment of everything that's wrong with today's modern woman. I mean, how many times have we seen these women physically fighting? Beyond their being loud and profane, they're pulling out weaves, throwing drinks or any other pieces of furniture that might be handy, and being made to look like the she-demons of the world. If I ever met Mona, I'd ask her, as a black woman, is this the way you want yourselves portrayed? Now, I don't expect every black woman on TV to be Claire Huxtable (Bill Cosby's wife on the Cosby Show for those under 25), although it would be a nice change; but there are other, more urbane ways of showing black women having a problem with each other. It doesn't always have to resort to weave-pulling slugfests. And consciously or sub-consciously, the message this is sending to the world's men, is that we shouldn't want anything to do with a black woman. And it's not just Mona who's in on this action, Shonda Rhimes, the executive producer of 'Scandal', has Kerry Washington's Olivia Pope character literally having sex with the white male president in a closet...in a DAMN CLOSET! Now, what are the world's men suppose to think of black women, when they're portraying themselves this way?
Personally, what I'd love to see...and I think a lot of other Black people would agree with me on this, is a reality show about a corporate executive like Mona, who's trying to get a series on the air about normal, everyday hardworking African-Americans, and the travails that person goes through trying to get a network to greenlight that project. So, I've said all that to say this, I think it's time for the Black diaspora, myself included, to go to 'Love and Hip-Hop' rehab. It's time we boycott these shows that portray us as sub-human, even if one of our own kind is at the helm of it's production.
I liken this show to a car wreck; in that even though it's hard not to slow down to see if we can get a glimpse of some gore, we all need to step on the gas and keep movin'. And I can sincerely tell you, the next time I'm jonesin' for a hit of Love and Hip-Hop, regardless of how tempting it might be, I'm turning the channel. And I know myself, and everyone who watches this crap show religiously, will be better off for doing the same. Ma'at Hotep, MontUHURU Mimia
Jack
Allan Abramoff is a former american lobbyist who was jailed for being
at the nucleus of a continuing criminal enterprise.
His cadre of crooks
included a congressperson, nine other lobbyists, congressional aides and
white house officials; one of which was former Deputy Interior
Secretary J. Steven Griles.
Before
his incarceration, Jack was a top lobbyist for the firm Preston, Gates
and Ellis; he later joined the Greenberg Traurig law firm in March of
2004.
And
it was for himself and these firms, that he bilked nearly a hundred
million dollars out of native american owned casinos.
And for the above crimes, Jack was sentenced to six years in federal
prison for mail fraud, conspiracy to bribe public officials and tax
evasion.
After
serving four years of his six year sentence, he was released and wrote
his autobiography, 'Capitol Punishment: The hard truth about washington
corruption from america's most notorious lobbyist'. He was also the
subject of two films, one being a documentary titled: 'Casino Jack and
the united states of money'; the other was a feature film titled 'Casino
Jack' starring Kevin Spacey as Abramoff.
Now,
as is par for the course with public officials who fall from 'grace',
Jack is reinventing himself as a staunch advocate AGAINST political
corruption. You know...the same kind he went to jail for. But this is
just one celebrated example of what goes on everyday in the hallways and
back rooms of capitol hill.
Lobbyists
are legal bribe merchants...straight up. They are the political bagmen
who grease the palms of politicians, so corporations can have their way
with government policies and the public at large.
They're
like political parasites as they're voracious in their need to infect
and affect every part of political bodies. But as far as unscrupulous
behaviors go, they've really got nothing on the politicians themselves.
What
I've learned through my research is the covert corruption lobbyists are
engaged in, is not always at the behest of lobbyists; a lot of times,
politicians seek these guys out themselves.
You see, politicians know
that being bought off by lobbyists is just a perk of the job, so they
not only come to the table with their hands out, but they're actually
calling these firms to negotiate just how much grease it'll take to sufficiently keep their pockets full.
I've
read stories of politicians telling lobbyists that they don't have to
be physically present to pay for their expensive dinners; oftentimes,
the politicians will just instruct a lobbyist to leave a credit card
with the restaurants owner, and when the politician shows up, they just
use the card for their bill. Whether it's comp'ed master suites at
hotels, private jet rentals, sky boxes at sporting events or upper-scale
shopping excursions, politicians are 'all in' when it comes to grabbing
at these free goodies.
And
it's not like politicians only have one or two of these bribe merchants
to choose from, some politicians have upwards of ten to thirty
lobbyists at their beck and call.
Now,
I'm not naive enough to think that politicians are gonna' vote to bite
the hand that's feeding them; but it's up to grassroots, working class
folks to put as much of a stop to this as possible.
There's
legislation mandating some transparency for the lobbyist grift machine,
but those laws are so full of loop-holes that they're downright negligible.
One
thing's for sure, true change never happens from the top down, only the
bottom up.
It's up to the proletariat to stop casting ballots for the 'duopoly'
of Democrats and Republicans who've been bought and sold decades ago;
and It's time for a truly independent political party that's not
corrupted by corporations so working class folks in this country, who do
the lion's share of the work, can receive the lion's share of the
benefits.
Ultimately, it's up to you and I to stop this kinder, gentler form of bribery, so we too can partake in the 'fat of the land'.
Now
will this happen in my lifetime? Probably not; but it's up to us to get
the ball rolling so the next generation won't have to suffer at the
hands of capitol hill's rotting moral underbelly.
It's morally imperative that we either form a truly independent party that represents us, or boycott the voting structure completely, so the politicians will have to hear us again.
Personally, I think the only viable solution would be to boycott the vote en masse and shut this whole governmental sham down.
That's what it's really gonna' take to have a government for and by the people.
Truly independent people can 'govern' themselves, we don't need proxies.
So, it's time to wipe these greasy palms clean; and the sooner we do this, the better. Hotep, MontUHURU Mimia
"...even my conditioning's been conditioned..." --Wendell Harris Jr.'s script for the movie 'Chameleon Street'
The Help (2011) Django Unchained (2012)
The Butler (2013) And now...the movie '12 Years a slave'.
Recently, a fellow blogger criticized me for being too hard on white people.
This person suggested that I concentrate on speaking about how badly Black people treat each other instead of railing against covert and overt white bigots.
Well, if he thinks I'm being too tough on whitey, movies like the ones I mention above, are the reason why.
Now, we're encouraged to talk about Black people and how cruel we are to one another, but no one wants to talk about how we as a people, got to such a place of self hatred in our communities. We all need to realize that beyond the decades of conditioning Black people endure to get them to hate themselves, which is conditioning no other ethnic group in this world gets by the way, that movies like the ones I mention above are 'triggering instruments' to keep us mired in the paradigm of white supremacy.
And the reason these movies are being pumped out year after year right now, is to thwart the idea that we as Black people, should feel proud to have a Black man as the american president.
And again, there's an almost knee-jerked reaction some people have when anyone refers to Barack Obama as Black, that has them telling you he's got a white mother.
But, as I've mentioned before, I never heard of a 'Teabagger' until Obama was president; and I don't remember white supremacist websites crashing due to an overwhelming influx of traffic until Obama was president either. Now, the movie '12 years a slave' is supposedly a true story about a Black man named Solomon Northup from upstate New York, who visits the antebellum south as a free Black man, and how during his visit, he's wrongly abducted and sold into slavery.
Now, beyond the film's slave narrative, this movie's main plot point, speaks to an idea white supremacists are interested in mainstreaming.
What this film's really saying is, white elites want us reeled in from our thinking we can survive and thrive without them, back into the bondage of good ole' christian negro programming that made us revere them like gods. Thus, the free man (Solomon) goes back to the slave owning south and is captured, basically saying in a way, he wanted to be captured; whitey's sublimely intimating, how subconsciously, Solomon would feel better not having to think for himself living in captivity. Basically, he'd be happier being a slave, whether he knows it or not; and so would the overwhelming majority of the Black Diaspora. That includes YOU too! This movie also triggers the 'shame paradigm' that's been bred into us, so we can continue feeling inferior to whitey all our lives at the mere mention of slavery.
So, they're putting out propaganda films disguised as family entertainment, just so we Black folks can long for the good ole' days when we looked to them for every answer to our questions.
I remember the post I put out about that craptastic film 'The Butler', and some Black guy told me that my critique of the film wasn't valid because I basically said the film was used to portray Obama as a butler or a 'servant', rather than the president.
He went on to tell me that Obama's a lackey for white supremacists and the movie portrayed white presidents as friends to Black people.
Now, this observation tells me that he probably paid money to go see this film, or paid money for a bootleg copy of it.
So, even 'conscious' Black people are going to see these flicks.
I remember one 'conscious' Black person I saw on YouTube, said in their video that they couldn't stand Quentin Tarantino, but went to see 'Django Unchained' five times, 'cause their friends were seeing it.
These are the dumbfounding effects of the brainwashing Black folks get in this country.
So I'm saying again, if you're a 'conscious' Black person, or an independently minded one at least, stop supporting these cavalcade of stars coon shows.
And you see this one has Brad Pitt and Micheal Fassbender in it. Just to make the poison a little sweeter.
And this movie was directed by a Black brit I respected, Steve McQueen. He made a terrific movie called 'Hunger' about a prison's hunger strike in ireland.
And supposedly, he's suppose to direct a 'biopic' about Fela Kuti, the revolutionary Nigerian singer.
Well, I hope that film turns out better than this one.
But since Steve has shown he's a stooge for white supremacists and their agenda, when that flick comes out, I'll be sure to miss it.
And it's reactions like this, that will ultimately mark the 'unmaking' of a slave.
And that's something Black people desperately need to show the powers that be in this country and abroad.

P.S. If you'd like to check out my Blog post about that 'craptastic' movie 'The Butler', you can see it here.
When I was an ardent fan of (Uncle) Tommy Sotomayor's, I'd always hear rumblings about this guy named David Carroll; and how he too was an advocate for Black men.
So one day I decided to check out his YouTube channel.
What I initially heard were his rants about black women and how they were so deleterious to a Black man's life and state of well being.
He'd wax philosophic about how Black men should avoid black women at all costs, and he told numerous tales of how he counseled younger Black men on these exact points.
But then I experienced a bout of deja vu; in that, David began talking disparagingly about Black people on the whole...just like Uncle Tommy Sotomayor does.
Firstly, David would start his rants by toking on a large cigar...which is nothing but a facsimile of a Black phallus.
If David were a deep thinker, like he fancies himself to be, he'd know that white men smoke cigars because consciously or subconsciously, they know that a Black man's penis has the genetic power to literally breed them out of existence.
And they smoke these Black phallus' to look powerful..or at least as genetically powerful as Black men.
Coincidentally, this is where the stereotype of Black men having bigger penises comes from; it has nothing to do with physical size, this stereotype is making reference to a Black man's genetic power to create every other kind of man, while none of them can create one of him.
*Side Note: For any Black christians out there, the concept of mary's 'immaculate conception' is actually making reference to Black people as well. Beyond the fact that mary's miraculous virgin birth was just a fable, the 'real' immaculate conception in ancient Africa was the birth of a healthy Black baby.
Because no other person on the planet could produce a Black baby except for a Black man and woman. Once again, this speaks to our power to create every other kind of person while none of them can create one of us.
But back to David...when I'd watch one of his videos, after he puffed on his insipid cigar, I'd hear him say things like: "Black people don't have the capacity to think critically..."
And from there, he'd expound on that point.
Also, anyone who see his vids will notice how he has a vinyl album of a Martin Luther King jr. speech hung upside down.
In my header's triptych, you'll also see the last picture of Dave has that record AND one of Obama's campaign signs hanging upside down.
This is suppose to show how much he despises ignorant Black people, but what it's really showing is how he feels emotionally wrong, or how internally, he feels his world's been turned upside down for being born Black.
In one other instance, someone commented on his YouTube channel, that he must despise himself for being Black if he's got such a low opinion of Black people. To which he replied: "Who said I was Black?"
After about a week, I stopped my visits to his channel. At one time, I held a bit of animosity for him and people like Uncle Tommy Sotomayor; but now, I feel sorry for them. Because it must suck to want to be white so badly, knowing you never will be. People like Dave and Tom will never realize the blessing it is to have been born a Black man. Again, any Black man who doesn't recognize that he's got the power to create every other type of man, while none of them can create him, is doing himself a grave disservice.
Black men should be honored to have been born into the majestic, regal and powerful body of a Black man. And this is not hyperbole; consciously or subconsciously, white supremacists know how powerful we are, that's why they've declared an outright war against us.
But all Tommy and Dave can see are the 'cons' of being born a Black man. They've forsaken the rose for its thorns.
And what really kills me about Tom and Dave is they'll swear up and down that they're advocates for Black men. These guys feel they have all the answers for the Black diaspora and every Black person should heed their message.
One thing I've recognized though that I didn't before, is Tommy and Dave genuinely don't know how much they hate themselves for being Black.
Several years ago, I knew an attractive Black woman who would exclaim to me: "I don't know why I don't have a man...even the ugly women have men, so why don't I?"
Problem was, she had no idea how much she was conditioned to hate Black men.
I'd seen her get into relationships with Black men she genuinely liked, and after a couple of weeks, she'd tell them some of the most insulting things in the world; and they'd eventually leave. And she genuinely had no idea she was doing this.
I liken this to what Tommy and Dave are doing.
When people tell them they're self-hating Black men, they look at these people like they're crazy; because again, they genuinely can't see what they're doing.
This is what I mean when I say the real battlefield is the subconscious mind. 'Cause that's where Black people have to go to recondition themselves out of this self-hatred.
This is work people. There's no shortcuts to this and there's no easy fix for this.
Mind you, we've spent nearly 18 years in this country's school system learning to hate ourselves; that's not gonna' be resolved overnight.
And I'm including myself in this too.
I've taken on a meditative regimen to recondition myself out of my own prejudices against my people. So I'm not just pointing fingers.
But, if you invest the time to do this, your life will be so much more fulfilling; you'll never again have that deep internal sense of feeling like your wrong in this world. And you'll experience a whole new self-attractiveness that you hadn't before; also, you'll see your people for what they are...and that's the most attractive people on this earth.
So for all of you who are still stuck on Uncle Tommy's and Dave's self-hating messages, you need to look deeper into yourself and ask why you're a fan of these Black men who clearly wish they were white. Then you could truly see them for what they are; miserable, self-loathing men who are hurriedly on a path to one place... self-destruction. Hotep, MontUHURU Mimia
For Black christians who've gotten sick of Tyler Perry flicks....here comes 'I'm in love with a church girl'.
Now, I know what you're thinking...you're like, bro, you can't have a problem with this 'PG' rated, family friendly, christian film.
Actually, I don't have a lot of problems with this film.
I just have one.
And that is, why does Ja Rule need to date some fair-skinned spanish woman (Adrienne Bailon) to find some value in going to church?
Some may say I'm nit-picking about this, or I'm making a big deal over nothing; but answer me this question: with all the church-going black women in this country, why couldn't they find a black actress to play Ja Rule's love interest?
Why not cast Keisha Night-Pulliam as Ja's love interest?
Or why not Raven Symone? Nia Long would also be a good choice as the woman who baits Ja back to church.
If you look at this film's movie poster to the right, you'll see the sublime messages being sent to the Black diaspora. You see fair skinned Adrienne Bailon in a white top, with a halo-like glow around her, being portrayed as the the angelic 'savior' who's trying to tame the lowly (literally Ja is 'beneath' her on the poster) street savage portrayed by Ja Rule.
And notice Ja is dressed in Black; so he's literally 'the Bad Black man' surrounded by cops.
This is also a play on the dichotomy of 'heaven and hell'.
*Side Note: In regards to 'angels', the concept for these 'celestial' creatures comes from ancient Africa (Kemet/Kush/Nubia).
The picture on the right is one of the ancient African deity Ma'at.
Coincidentally, Ma'at is where we get the word 'mother' from. And as you can see, she is a 'winged' woman. This picture is on pyramid walls in Africa, and predates white supremacist christianity.
And this is where christianity got the concept for the 'winged' white female angel, as seen on the left.
Also, when you combine the words Ma'at, which again means 'mother', and the word 'Netcher' which means Goddess, you not only get the phrase 'Ma'at Netcher'; but since Ma'at also represents environmental and human nature, this is also where we get the term 'Mother Nature' from.
Another side note...whenever you see a depiction of 'Lady Justice', also know this is another representation/rip-off of the concept of Ma'at. In the depiction of Ma'at below, we again see how she predates the modern day 'Lady Justice'.
Also notice how the African depiction of Ma'at representing truth and justice has her scales in balance; and notice the white Lady Justice has her scales off balance; this shows how whites have purposely perverted both these concepts.
So if you wonder why the court system is so corrupt, here's one early depiction of how whites view the concept of truth and justice...a blind-folded and off-balanced woman.
But back to this crap film...here's the original movie
poster for this flick. See how Ja is again, dressed in all Black and Adrienne is dressed in white, with the 'white christ', or as spanish people call him, 'christo blanco' behind her.
This again sends the message that Adrienne is suppose to be some sort of sanctified savior. This flick was suppose to come out on 'christmas' of 2011. This film's delayed release was due to Ja just getting out of jail.
But if this were released on christmas, it would send a more powerful message that the only way a Black man can be truly redeemed is through the help of a 'fair-skinned' christian. And again, what better way to entice a Black man to go to church, than using a fair-skinned woman as bait.
Here again, is a shot from the film. Notice that Ja's still in Black and Adrienne's still in white. The reason white elites are pushing so hard for this film to be successful is, they feel Black men are seeing through the sham of the christian church.
They especially need young Black men to come back to church, to essentially make it 'cool' again.
So, before heading back to the multiplex to purchase a ticket for this flick, understand what you're really being exposed to.
Another white elitist sham.
Just like christianity.

P.S. Here's a trailer for this flick.
Notice @ 1:34, Adrienne Bailon, dressed in white, describes church as the 'best SHOW on earth'; while the white Lamborghini pulls up next to them.
I gotta' give it to the white elite, they don't sleep when it comes to their agenda.
