A Despository of Information: December 2020

Winnie Mandela?!?!

Umar isn’t worthy of Winnie the POOH!!!

I met Umar over a decade ago and I was very impressed with him.

Now…

Not so much.

After listening to his lectures and comments over the years, I have severe issues with the way he speaks TO and ABOUT our people. His Seti rant was particularly troubling. ANYONE and I mean ANYONE who considers themselves to be “Pro Black” or “Conscious” but continues using the “N” word in ANY kind of attack on our people, I basically dismiss anything else they have to say. To me a person who claims to be “Pro Black”, but still refers to their people as “Ns” is not someone I would consider conscious.

(I do qualify that by saying that I know many of our people who I DO consider Pro Black who use the “N” word as a turn of phrase, or just as a conversational habit… I don’t particularly care for it… but I’m not talking about them.)

I mean when one Black person is in a disagreement or in a “beef” with another Black person or they are just TRYING to be insulting and they throw that degrading term at them EXACTLY the way a wyt supremacist would. I have a MAJOR issue with THAT. And Umar is good for that.

And PLEASE don’t doubt that he would consider YOU a c@$n for even doing this video.

Why? Because here is Umar Johnson’s definition of a c@$n:

C@$n: noun/adjective: Any Black person who does not agree with EVERY WORD that comes out of the mouth of Umar Johnson. Or any Black person who does not stand in 100% agreement and fall in lockstep with all of his Shenanigans.

“Black Women don’t work?!

What in the F does THAT mean?!

Is he talking about my Beautiful Black Wife?

Or my wonderful mother who raised NINE children on her own, in the hood - all but two with bachelor’s masters and MBAs. (Not saying that not having a degree makes a person any less – I’M one of the two out of the nine that does not have a degree, and I do alright I think.)

Or is he referring to ANY number of the Sisters YOU highlighted?

I may just start keeping a book of STUPID, IGNORANT statements! And the statement he made about Black Women not working would likely be page, ONE of CHAPTER ONE… in the FIRST SENTENCE!

I have developed a rule… when I listen to Black speakers talking about the Black community, I now imagine what they are saying in the form of a transcript that, if I just wrote down the WORDS… NOTHING ELSE… and handed the sheet to a Pro Black person to read without them knowing WHERE it came from or WHO said it… if after reading it, they would conclude that a wyt supremacist made the statement(s), then I know not to deal with the speaker.

For ME, Umar falls SQUARELY in that category.

I have measured several widely known supposed “Pro Black” people (male and female), by that standard, or Black people who presume to “speak for the Black community”, and they do NOT pass that test, and if they are on TheyTube, I have already unsubscribed, and if they are a general speaker or lecturer, I no longer listen to anything they have to say.

I’m TIRED of the misogyny among our men… many of whom have MASSIVE platforms!

I’m TIRED of it!!!!

MUCH Love, Honor and RESPECT to YOU Sis!

AND

To all the Beautiful Sisters you highlighted – especially MY beloved Black wife!

One of the things I find the most tragic for our people (globally, but here in the U.S. specifically).

Our ancestors… before enslavement, lived life on the continent and world wide as just plain people. I’m sure there were good and bad people among us, as things tend to be. But there was not the demonic oppression and highly developed systems of terror that have been visited down upon us and constructed by “you know who”.

From the time our ancestors were brought here in chains to THIS VERY MOMENT, there has NEVER been a time in America when it was good to be Black. (As a thought experiment, I considered one time that if I had a time machine and could go back to any time period what would it be? (The only stipulation being that it would HAVE to be in America… and HAVE to be after wyt people invaded it.

The answer of course would be that there is NO time that I could go back to and have any kind of peace, safety or security.

The point I’m making with all of this is about the sorrow I perpetually feel for our people in that I understand our longing and desire to have better… and to have our “piece of the pie”.

But the sad fact… the heartbreaking fact is that, at least for now, after already having done nothing but suffer, even if, say, by some MIRACLE wyt people (and OUR OWN people for that matter) came to their and our senses and there was a TRUE releasing of our people to just be allowed to go our way in peace and left alone…

We and our children and children’s children will still inherit a world soaked in radiation, with dead oceans and entire species of insects, and animals that are going extinct DAILY (with HUMAN BEINGS being on the list). From the time of our captivity to now and beyond… we NEVER got OUR piece, and will not have it any time soon.

It is ONLY YAH who can (and will), straighten this whole mess out. In the meantime however… that doesn’t mean we can disregard warnings and even common sense and throw caution to the wind. We must be EVER vigilant and do the best we can with the knowledge we have, and to constantly seek MORE knowledge.

I have to be honest… for a people who are terrorized, oppressed, attacked and assaulted non-stop… have never had the benefit of a breather from epigenetic memory, and now, even by the BEST of standards have to live on a radioactive ball that we have to take extreme measures to extricate from our bodies… it is just incredibly sad to me.

My ASE’ to our brothers and sisters. This is all so unnecessary.

I have been reading and seeing videos of a lot of R.I.P. for “Tiny” Lister and to a lesser degree Charlie Pride (I grew up listening to a lot of country among other music, so I immediately recognized the name). They are both said to have died from complications related to Kobe.

That narrative has been pushed hard over the weekend, conveniently as the vaccine is rolling out TODAY.

Hmmmm… two public Black Men (One who will be recognized by newer generations, and one who will be recognized by older generations).

They are of course saying, “After hearing about these BLACK PEOPLE… you need to run in fear to the clinic as fast as your little legs will carry you and let the CDC shoot some unknown substance into your body so you don’t end up like THEM.”

ANY TIME someone is trying to SCARE me into doing something… ANYTHING… I’m immediately suspicious. Our people need to be running full speed in the other direction!

I HAVE and AM taking it to heart and taking it VERY seriously, and I alert anyone who will listen!

I enjoy laughing and being entertained as much as the next person (maybe even a little bit more), but as the scriptures say,

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace,

and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

The important thing is to KNOW WHAT TIME ONE IS IN, and in my humble opinion… now is NOT the time for laughter, seeking entertainment (to excess), and beefing. It is time to start picking up some BOOKS… and short of that, seeking out someone whom GENUINELY loves and cares for our people, and has DONE the research (referring to YOU – who has done the HARD work… the LEG WORK of compiling the information and making it FEELY AVAILABLE to ANYONE and I mean ANYONE – who wants to know the TRUTH and be WELL) so that we don’t have to reinvent the wheel… and taking to heart what is being said, most of all TAKING ACTION!

THANK YOU for all the information you have put out and continue to put out!

The die off is coming (if it isn’t already here)… and we MUST understand what SEASON we are in!

I’ll shut up now.

LOVE, HONOR, RESPECT to you Sis!
