We The Family of the Sun! - Breakthroughs To African Cultural and Generational Wealth



It seams that Indigo Melanin people are the only group that are asked to disband, and are quick to alienate and exile their associations, family members and people. This must be Willie-Lynch- post- traumatic Maafa. There are Indigo people who are PAID by religious organizations, or conservative extremists, like Prager, etc., as public speakers and paid tokens, on separating from black on black relationships, or debasing their own Black Queens, under the banner of their religious beliefs or conservative nationalism. These organizations pay and use these token black people as Psy-op "Peer interrupters," for the dissemination of doubt, distrust, withdrawal and isolation...Yet, Caucasians, Mexicans, Jews, u-name-it, will unify, even in their dysfunctions, to accomplish their mutual economic agendas, and objectives!  I see the smiles and hear the cloaked healing sentiments and fake statistics, from these so called Negro Inspirational speakers. They talk like they are "woke" yet, this is only a slick packaging to proselytize, polarize and destroy Black unity. This is Religious Brainwashing Cultism- not Culture. They are Preying on our youth- Not Praying for our youth and families! In the end game, hoping and "waiting for Superman" to bring something or someone better, after you are encouraged to burn bridges, with family members, associates, fathers, mothers of your children etc., only moves us to impotence and paralyzing isolation... (Which is of course the objective of Race supremacy)







 Yet, we are still picking their cotton and handing it over to plantation owners. We are at war, surrounded in hate as a weapon! Yes, war begins in our minds first. We are influenced by propaganda. There is big money in mass media  indoctrination with the promise of rewards for affiliations that demand their loyalty. This society is run on the steam of capitalism. The United States is a Kkorpratakrazy.1


Every other society has turned their backs on Indigo Melanin Americans and offer no sanctuary or allies.  Racism/White Supremacy as a system in the US and globally, is real! The Euro world of racism, has built their glass ceilings, walls and doors. They have created a prison for our minds, while we are rendered invisible in theirs. Not much thought is given, by any other people, to the advancement and empowerment of our people. We are still red lined and discriminated against, on loans, grants, access, Jobs, contracts, business ventures etc. because of our hair, cultural clothing, names, gender, and /or social affiliations (really it's just our dark skin). Then we discriminate against each other as gate keepers to maintain this status quo.






There seems to be something exclusively threatening about Melanin people wanting to congregate in their own homogeneous space, in deference to our own values and ways of life, than any other ethnic or cultural group. I do not define myself by Western standards or definitions. I do not consider myself a nationalist, or separatist, but I am certainly not a multiculturalist. I do not seek to model and perfect the way of life of another Culture. I am bad soil- refusing to assimilate with western European culture! We (Indigo peoples) should be able to have our own times to live, celebrate, learn, raise our children and families, and work in a collective of our own identities, languages, mores and sacred spaces; without it being mis-construed as hate! For a personal example, because I am an advocate on behalf of African Descendant peoples, I have changed my name and practice an ancient form of spirituality as my Ancient Ancestors, I am considered as a racist, or someone filled with hate! It's the victim, being considered the criminal! The raped becomes the rapist! My Cultural practices are considered uncomfortable, offensive, hateful and hostile, just because they are different from the western ways. I am not on this planet to only serve the interests of Western Europeans. We have our own distinct cultural relationships with this planet.


I recognize that many of our family members, as Black people, are still asleep in this system. (Yes, I use the same analogy as Morpheus in describing the Matrix.) So, they suffer from "Cognitive Dissonance." In consequence of living in my lifestyle, I haven't seen (Live with, teach, become intrinsic in the memories, values and lifestyles) of my own grandchildren in years, or my Brother, Nieces, Nephews, and many relatives and friends etc- for decades, because of what Dr. Amos Wilson speaks of as the "alien consciousness" of belief systems! So my African conscious value system has been stymied and censured. Many Black people are uncomfortable with Black people loving only Black people, or when family members "actually practice" African Culture. Their lack of knowledge of self, or self hate, coupled with their western assimilation of Ageism, Sexism, patriarchy, whether your are a vegan or pork eater, and the acceptance or adoption of Western or Islamic Religious beliefs, make our people pious and defensive. I have even had family members sabotage my work. This assimilation compounded with systemic racism, becomes the Willie lynch-pin- divide and conquer strategy... Black people who are still asleep in the system, tend to believe the negative before the positive- about each other, and they only want to believe one side of the story, to form a judgement without hearing the other side, without critical thinking (Guilty before innocent.) So now, I, and many people like me, are socially ostracized, alone, vulnerable in a system that treats me like a beast-or vagrant, not a Queen! As People of African descent, we now make orphans, instead of villages...

Ultimately this onslaught, exile and fragmentation of our Black people, has destroyed us, by a severe lack of generational wealth and resources that are never passed down for the next generation. We must regain our commonwealth, access and influence for our future. We must unify as allies and allies with the global African diaspora, to establish a global economy. Our children's greatest loss is in this exile. When you go into exile- you have to start over- that is traumatizing...
We must return to our natural minds.

I wrote the following poem back in 1990, when I first ventured to adopt my own African Centered Identity.


In the late 1980s, I was Adopted into a Nigerian Yoruba Family, with the hopes that I would embrace the Ifa African system. In my introduction, I was taught that this Yoruba family could trace their linage to the Hausa, Dogon, Tuareg and KMT families, by bloodlines over generations. I was astounded to see the connections that led back to Ancient KMT and their ancient Mystery schools! I was then honored to be given the name Adenike.

I was introduced to many of the local African Centered Societies in my visits in America, with African Centered events, where I cultivated my Spirituality and Identity.

I learned to speak and write the ancient KMT Language, through Medu Neter classes with Sistar Rkhti Amen.

I learned that Our Indigo Akabalon Queen Mothers, are the Ankh matrix of all peoples and civilizations. I began a healing journey on my health and grew my own foods to pursue the vision and mission, to establish Amen Ankh Akademy built around an African Centered Eco-Gnome- resource-based economy.

I read Nation Building How To: By Sasteh Meter Mosley, and began to apply the knowledge, of the Khemtic way of life, one of the oldest Eco-Nomic societies that were spread across all continents, and is reflected in all indigo ancestries and cultures. I began this Practice for my life.

I give great honor and Love to Dr. Amos N. Wilson for his genius to pave the way to Recovering Our African Mind!

Ascension of Queen Maya Angelou April 4th 1928 - May 28th 2014

Queen Maya Angelou The Heart of a Woman

Credit: Suge White

Maya Angelou was born on April 4, 1928. Born Marguerite Annie Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents divorced when she was only three and she was sent with her brother Bailey to live with their grandmother in the small town of Stamps, Arkansas. In Stamps, the young girl experienced the racial discrimination that was the legally enforced way of Jim Crow laws in the American South, but she also absorbed the deep religious faith and old-fashioned courtesy of traditional African American life. She credits her grandmother and her extended family with instilling in her the values that informed her later life and career. She enjoyed a close relationship with her brother. Unable to pronounce her name because of a stutter, Bailey called her "My" for "My sister." A few years later, when he read a book about the Maya Indians, he began to call her "Maya," and the name stuck.
 At age seven, while visiting her mother in Chicago, she was sexually molested by her mother's boyfriend. Too ashamed to tell any of the adults in her life, she confided in her brother. When she later heard the news that an uncle had killed her attacker, she felt that her words had killed the man. She fell silent and did not speak for five years.
 Maya began to speak again at 13, when she and her brother rejoined their mother in San Francisco. Maya attended Mission High School and won a scholarship to study dance and drama at San Francisco's Labor School, where she was exposed to the progressive ideals that animated her later political activism. She dropped out of school in her teens to become San Francisco's first African American female cable car conductor. She later returned to high school, but became pregnant in her senior year and graduated a few weeks before giving birth to her son, Guy. She left home at 16 and took on the difficult life of a single mother, supporting herself and her son by working as a waitress and cook, but she had not given up on her talents for music, dance, performance and poetry.
 In 1952, she married a Greek sailor named Anastasios Angelopulos. When she began her career as a nightclub singer, she took the professional name Maya Angelou, combining her childhood nickname with a form of her husband's name. Although the marriage did not last, her performing career flourished. She toured Europe with a production of the opera Porgy and Bess in 1954 and 1955. She studied modern dance with Martha Graham, danced with Alvin Ailey on television variety shows and recorded her first record album, Calypso Lady (1957).
 She had composed song lyrics and poems for many years, and by the end of the 1950's was increasingly interested in developing her skills as a writer. She moved to New York, where she joined the Harlem Writers Guild and took her place among the growing number of young Black writers and artists associated with the Civil Rights Movement. She acted in the historic Off-Broadway production of Jean Genet's The Blacks and wrote and performed a Cabaret for Freedom with the actor and comedian Godfrey Cambridge.
 In New York, she fell in love with the South African civil rights activist Vusumzi Make and in 1960, the couple moved, with Angelou's son, to Cairo, Egypt. In Cairo, Angelou served as editor of the English language weekly The Arab Observer. Angelou and Guy later moved to Ghana, where she joined a thriving group of African American expatriates. She served as an instructor and assistant administrator at the University of Ghana's School of Music and Drama, worked as feature editor for The African Review and wrote for The Ghanaian Times and the Ghanaian Broadcasting Company.
 During her years abroad, she read and studied voraciously, mastering French, Spanish, Italian, Arabic and the West African language Fanti. She met with the American dissident leader Malcolm X in his visits to Ghana, and corresponded with him as his thinking evolved from the racially polarized thinking of his youth to the more inclusive vision of his maturity.
 Maya Angelou returned to America in 1964, with the intention of helping Malcolm X build his new Organization of African American Unity. Shortly after her arrival in the United States, Malcolm X was assassinated, and his plans for a new organization died with him. Angelou involved herself in television production and remained active in the Civil Rights Movement, working more closely with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who requested that Angelou serve as Northern Coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. His assassination, falling on her birthday in 1968, left her devastated. With the guidance of her friend, the novelist James Baldwin, she found solace in writing, and began work on the book that would become 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings'. The book tells the story of her life from her childhood in Arkansas to the birth of her child. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings was published in 1970 to widespread critical acclaim and enormous popular success.
 Seemingly overnight, Angelou became a national figure. In the following years, books of her verse and the subsequent volumes of her autobiographical narrative won her a huge international audience. She was increasingly in demand as a teacher and lecturer and continued to explore dramatic forms as well. She wrote the screenplay and composed the score for the film Georgia, Georgia (1972). Her screenplay, the first by an African American woman ever to be filmed, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
 Angelou has been invited by successive Presidents of the United States to serve in various capacities. President Ford appointed her to the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and President Carter invited her to serve on the Presidential Commission for the International Year of the Woman. President Clinton requested that she compose a poem to read at his inauguration in 1993. Angelou's reading of her poem "On the Pulse of the Morning" was broadcast live around the world.
 Since 1981, Angelou has served as Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She has continued to appear on television and in films including Poetic Justice (1993) and the landmark television adaptation of Roots (1977). She has directed numerous dramatic and documentary programs on television and directed her first feature film, Down in the Delta, in 1996.
 The list of her published works now includes more than 30 titles. These include numerous volumes of verse, beginning with Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'Fore I Die (1971). Books of her stories and essays include Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now (1993) and Even the Stars Look Lonesome (1997). She has continued the compelling narrative of her life in the books Gather Together in My Name (1974),Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas (1976),The Heart of a Woman (1981), All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes (1987) and A Song Flung Up to Heaven(2002).
 In 2000, Dr. Angelou was honored with the Presidential Medal of the Arts; she received the Ford's Theatre Lincoln Medal in 2008. The same year, she narrated the award-winning documentary film The Black Candle and published a book of guidance for young women, Letter to My Daughter. In 2011, President Barack Obama awarded her the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
 Maya Angelou also participated in a series of live broadcasts for Achievement Television in 1991, 1994 and 1997, taking questions submitted by students from across the United States.
 Rest in peace, Maya Angelou. We will ALWAYS love you!

Nigeria Change Name from "Nigger area" to "United Rep. Of Songhai" - Prof. Akin Oyebode

For about 3 decades, our youth in the US, have been calling themselves "niggers". In spite of the offence and outrage by many adults to this day of the legacy and bane of this name, many are still using this word as a title of affection, or as an incitement for confrontation.

http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2014/01/n-g-heaven-and-earth-rise-up-from.html

The precolonial names for the name of Niger is called Jeliba or Joliba "great river" in Manding; Orimiri or Orimili "great water" in Igbo; Egerew n-Igerewen "river of rivers" in Tuareg; Isa Ber "big river" in Songhay; Kwara in Hausa; and Oya in Yoruba. The origin of the name Niger, which originally applied only to the middle reaches of the river, is uncertain. The likeliest possibility is an alteration, by influence of Latin niger "black", of the Tuareg name egerew n-igerewen, which is used along the middle reaches of the river around Timbuktu.[4][5] As Timbuktu was the southern end of the principal Trans-Saharan trade route to the western Mediterranean, it was the source of most European knowledge of the region.

Medieval European maps applied the name Niger to the middle reaches of the river, in modern Mali, but Quorra (Kworra) to the lower reaches in modern Nigeria, as these were not recognized as being the same river. Wikipedia

http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/the-etymological-origins-of-the-word-nigeria-lion/


Many will argue that Niger just means black and that this title is a benign reference to the presence of Afrika in world imperialism. Yet I contend that there are no accidents in the movement of privilege and imperialism.

Many People still want to associate "Nigger" with a positive resonance. It is good that some of our critical thinkers are seeking to reevaluate the legacies of colonialism, imperialism and invasion. Kill the nigger so that we can be free! Deprogram your brain and Pull out the Willie Chip! Disavow your name from the Boil of the Boule!
