The Minstrel Cycles of Race Privilage

What are we saying to our young Melanin girls in a world of racism and the aftermath of self-hate and Maafa syndrome?

We know that Race is a political/Socio Construct. This construct was designed and agreed about, by a global minority for control of people of color. THERE IS NO "RACE"!

All Humans come from the Ancestry of The African Woman's EVE GENE! So this means that all "so-called" Native Americans, Asians, Arabs, Chinese, You-Name-It, HAVE AFRICAN ANCESTRY and are NATIONS-NOT RACES! These People of Color have DENIED their AFRICAN ANCESTORS and ANCESTRY to PLAY in the RACE GAME

Caucasian people are melanin recessive. They do not possess the Eve Gene. They are of the Neanderthal RNA. 

Yet, Racism/ white supremacy and white privilege are alive and well in the mentality of the U.S. and in every western imperialist social structure.



 



Historically, caucasian women have used their privileges for their advantage, in usurping anything they want in their favor. They have always played their roles for convenience, in the segregation and disadvantage of Melanin peoples. They designed and washed the blood stains from the white robes of Race supremacy. They beat their maids and orphaned mulatto children. Caucasian women have often sexually harassed, threatened to cry rape or brazenly walked over to take, whatever they wanted from Melininated peoples, using our lives like an animal hide around their shoulders.

Now Dolezal goes unchallenged, masquerading in a culture she doesn't belong, while so many of our people have suffered and struggled in colonialism and cultural genocide.

Caucasians have massacred, pirated, squandered our children, land and resources for centuries. Now this creature seeks to pirate African melanin identity and appropriates our names.

Cavorting herself as an African Queen of the Jungle for amusement, in a mockery of African cultures




Names are given- Not taken or bought in our cultures.

This sick pathetic critter epitomizes the US system of Race privilege! She projected her childhood molestation and abuse into a convenient identity. The paradox is historical when most female caucasoids would cry rape against a black man for the attention and sympathy, or travel in seclusion, looking for ways to engage in black exploitation and prostitution,... this woman finds Black Male specimens to exploit, then adopts other black male youth as victims into her menagerie of the most oppressed and voiceless people on the planet. She wears the veil of our beautiful culture, yet despised melanin skin , wipes suntan lotion on her skin everyday like blackface, then coils her hair every day as a masquerade!

Savage parody of black Americans, Mistral Shows were an attack on the equality and freedom of African Americans. Caucasian performers would blacken their faces with burnt cork or greasepaint, dress in outlandish costumes, and then perform songs and skits that mocked African Americans. Some of the most famous songs in American history--Dixie, Camptown Races, Oh Sussanah, My Old Kentucky Home--began as minstrel songs.






So many melaninated people are expressing a permissive attitude in the controversy of this impostor, Rachel Dolezal, and the brazenness of her reverse racism stunt. My concern about this race trader traitor is in how many times she had undermined and sold-out Black people while seeking to hold the highest salaried positions as an educator and a political representative, advancing American African people?! How many critical decisions did she ignore or misdirect in her ignorance? How often did she dumb down strategic choices for the so-called "best interest" of our people. Like a Caucasian mother of a mulatto child, who doesn't know how to care for their daughter's hair, or does not teach her any Afrikan values, the subtle insinuations and neglect of critical milestones can be devastating and set back progressive achievement for decades.

Caucasian women have often expressed a fetish, brazenly sexually harassed, or threatened to cry rape, to take whatever they want from our people, using our lives like an animal hide around their shoulders. Likened to Potipher's wife, or even Dalilah, they are constantly setting up a fatal attraction trap for the Black male leading to failure, mediocrity, and peril.

How and why could Afro-Americans let her do this while they sat in a room and taught African Studies college courses? NO ONE CHALLENGED HER?! This caucasian goes unchallenged, appropriating, and masquerading in a culture she doesn't belong to. The paradox is reading the indifference and approval of so many Melaninated people, while so many of our people still struggle with self-hatred, misogyny, humanity, economic survival, and their own identities, in colonialism and cultural genocide.
Caucasians have historically massacred, pirated, squandered our children, land, and resources for centuries. Now, this creature continues to seek attention, as an exhibitionist, while she steals whatever she wants with impunity. Now she appropriates our names, using a legal system that has never, favored the empowerment, humanity, autonomy and sovereignty of melaninated people, globally. In our culture, Names are given- Not taken or bought.
This woman LIED, deceived and positioned herself in high rank and visibility as an impostor, moving herself to the highest paying leadership roles and representations. She wore a mask Everyday, as she looked into the mirror and rubbed tanning lotions into her skin and put a wig or weave on her head to present herself in public, and to further use young children as a human shield.

SHE CANNOT REPRESENT OUR LEGACY AND THE PAIN OF OUR ANCESTORS!

Yet this US imperialist, colonizing, white supremacy society plays the skin game every day with people of color all over the globe. The race supremacist has lynched melanin people from our motherland, as well as native American/free people of color. Then after reconstruction, with the destruction of Black Wall streets, Sharecropping, redlining, Black Codes, and Jim Crow laws that are still on the books; They further destroyed our economic foundations by removing us from our land and businesses to this day. Race supremacy also destroyed Affirmative Action, enabling further progress and opportunities for inherited wealth. And don't forget the debacle of integration with racial profiling for police brutality the school to prison pipeline, mass incarceration, and private corporate prisons for the military-industrial complex which is neo-chattel slavery.

So, my question is how many more spies and agents of the status quo do we have in our camps- reporting back to massa? How many Black people play hypocritical roles of Black Power Activists while being married to caucasoids? Historically Afrikan women were horrendously Exploited, raped, and abused. With chattel slavery rendering our black mothers as subhuman, forced to breed children as a commodity for the slave trade, experimentation, and perverted sexual exploits. We've had an unfortunate history of mulatto children who were encouraged to "pass as white," or who were specifically bred to be used as concubines and mistresses by caucasians, such as in New Orleans. Yet, the worst race traitors that we have, are Black Americans,








Many American African refuse to acknowledge their African Ancestry
in deference to their ignorance of historical and cultural knowledge of themselves.

 




These Negropeons demonstrate their self-hatred publicly, by not fostering and supporting our own products and manufacturing of goods and services, in buying out the cosmetic industry of skin and hair bleach, hair straightening, weaves, and nose cosmetic surgeries. They sing the song of color blindness and that "we are all the same under the skin." This is only the song of assimilated token knee-gros who have accepted the programming of the conquered. So these conquered negropeons continue to live in their integrated suburbs, send their infants to be raised in that system, and their youth to be miss educated in these school to prison pipelines, eating their GMO foods, practicing their religions and submitting to their drugs and surgical procedures.

Another disturbing reality of Self Hate is how so many of our melanin people suffer from Black doll/white doll syndrome. Some call it Stockholm syndrome (I call it Maafa Syndrome, a much older phenomenon), where many Black people act as conquered model assimilationist/integrationists, who dwell among us and sell out our people.

Our people have been wearing the coon black face of entertainment for centuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface






"You can put lipstick on a pig but she is still a pig"...

Dolezal portrayed traitorous deceit against Melanin People. No caucasoid can ever advocate or speak for me! Let them take the beam out of their own eyes!

Some may say that she is being used as a distraction.

Of course there are many critical issues happening simultaneously. We have forgotten about the hundreds of girls who were abducted for kidnapping ransom and rape, We have forgotten about the genocide of the Melanin people Globally, for land rites to appropriate fossil fuels and toxic minerals of mass destruction and We have forgotten about the destruction of Afrikan civilization through Ebola and HIV, We have forgotten about HAARP Destruction of Haiti- for land grab and oil fracking and then to be re-occupied by the French... We are overwhelmed and saturated with the assaults of our youth by police officers- still waiting for superman or chocolate Je-w+Zeus to come and save the day... We just sit back and let our oppressor run our lives, asleep and completely oblivious that it is even happening.

Remember that some people of color still recognize Clinton as the first "black" President. So as we permit Rachel on her minstrel cycle, and other's like her, this should make it easier to except his senile Hilary in office to accelerate their HAARP- White Water Real Estate hustles on Haiti and the rest of the world!

AMEN PAR ANKH Sacred Temple of Life: Trayvon Martin's Death Marks the End of a Post Rac...

Trayvon Martin's Death Marks the End of a Post Racial Society Delusion


 AMEN PAR ANKH Sacred Temple of Life: Trayvon Martin's Death Marks the End of a Post Rac...:

I wish to personally give honor and deepest sympathy to the TRAYVON MARTIN FAMILY!
I AM TRAYVON’s FAMILY! I feel his absence on this planet! I am his Sister, his cousins, his Aunt, his teacher, his grandmother, and I live in HIS world… I am so disappointed. My sons have been lynched by the “Just-Us” of this society, far too long. My outrage and distrust in the US civic and legal system isn't just about "z" anymore it is about our own self-determination in controlling an oppressive power structure- that systematically emasculates and dehumanizes our men and censors and manipulates the mass media. "z" was only their attack dog for the status quo of gentrification of commercial businesses and real estate. So he only served the interests of that status quo... For our young men to be on an unspoken curfew- and invisible redline, where they cannot go out at night to buy the toxic waste of GMO high fructose Candy and Tea is a paradox. We work at their jobs, buy from their stores, eat their junk foods, We rent from them- Instead of organizing to create and own OUR world. Trayvon was profiled by someone who has inserted the alien oppressive stereotypes of this society. Mexicans and other Latin speaking people have often leaped in and out of the WASP Privileged society structure for their own survival. All they have to do is deny their culture and speak English. We call this "Passing." “z” considers himself to be a part of this “WASP” (White Arrogant Society of the Privileged.) This brainwashed attack dog is now celebrated and financially supported by these same WASP gated communities and political organizations! 

Trayvon still matters today. The legacy of this young man’s life and his traumatic destruction and miscarriage of justice, reverberates, echoes and metastasizes as a symbol in so many matters of day to day prejudices, bigotry, stereotypes, sentiments, attitudes and actions toward our Black youth in the U.S. 

Currently, in Kansas City, our youth are being racially profiled, corralled and blocked out of public access areas in Kansas City. They have shut our youth out of Swope Park, The Country Club Plaza, Westport, the 39th street shopping area, and The Power and Light district.

Here in KC we have the Country Club Plaza - The first Gated Community built by JC Nichols, for "white flight" from Integration, and the Power and "Light- white- Reich" districts for example, that are heralded as elite commercial and tourism attractions. 

The Power and Light District is presently a commercial business organization that has put in place watchdog security strategies that have stereotyped our Afrikan American males in particular and instituted their dress codes that attack the cultural attire of Afrikan Americans. They have also attacked Afrikan American business owners and discouraged patronage by sending city officials to nitpick and pass out city code citations, while the police, harass the patrons in the parking lots and on their way home. To address this blatant discrimination, our young people staged a “White Tee-Shirt” Protest in 2008… http://www.pitch.com/FastPitch/archives/2008/08/31/aclu-protests-power-and-light-dress-code , http://www.tonyskansascity.com/2008/08/tkc-exclusive-aclu-plans-white-t-shirt.html Very little was changed. Even Afrikan American community leaders, dressed in full traditional Afrikan Attire, have been thrown out of businesses in this district.

The Country Club Plaza - Was the first Gated Community built by JC Nichols, for "white flight" from Integration. There was a time when Blacks were not allowed to live passed 24th street, and The Plaza was a segregated area where only Black menial workers and maids were allowed to enter. They also had "Sundown Laws" in place after 6pm. Presently this area has the only local movie theater in the midtown metro area. This has created an uproar and complaints against Black youth who are seen around the fountains and high price tagged shops. KC Black parents are not organized to chaperon and self-police our youth from their own neighborhoods or sufficiently provide mentorship and assistance for struggling single parents,  or carpool and provide transportation for the youth to go in public areas. Black people are expressing so much self-hatred toward our youth, and yet, we are ignoring the fact that we are all steadily being harassed, detained, picked off and quarantined by the police, targeting mostly the blighted zip code areas where many Black elderly, disabled, lower income single parents and those on fixed incomes are concentrated.


Now on the south side of Kansas City, they are building a new nuclear weapons plant facility for the military industrial complex, while tearing down the old, Honeywell/Bendix nuclear weapons plant- to create one great Brownfield area. In the heart of the midtown area, the city builds a brand new police campus that includes a forensic lab (as if there is an anticipation of more death by murder and crime.) Prior to this multi-million dollar building project, many of the Black Homeowners (often elderly and on fixed incomes) were forced out of their properties, without even a fair market replacement value, which prevented them from restoring their lives and being able to move into another home that was comparable to their existing way of life. The Public Education system formulated an attack against the homegrown Afrikan Centered School to replace it with a doppelganger Afro-themed construct. 

In effect, our youth are being systematically captured, fingerprinted, photographed and branded as juvenile delinquents to be treated as refugees in their own residential areas. This seems like our youth are pre-sentenced for the prison Industrial complex. The paradox of federal penitentiaries is that the tax dollars are now given to the rural areas for each prisoner, where the majority of these prisons are built- in many cases ON THE SAME LAND THAT WAS ONCE USED AS SLAVE PLANTATIONS! So even more money is siphoned out of the Black economy and neighborhoods.

What I find most disturbing is the apathy! In any other community, If we found 2 youth per week, murdered, or missing, there would be an international moratorium until there is an end to this tragedy! Yet this IS happening, all over the world, to people of color. Black families, overwhelmingly are not involved in the foster parents provider system. The majority of the children who are left orphaned by our imprisoned fathers and mothers, are also left vulnerable, so that the cycle perpetually continues. To compound this, Afrikan Americans are dying MORE from stress, and contaminated foods to mitigate what I call the hand of death and disease, Stroke, Heart Attack, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Cancers!

It is so sad mediocre and typical to hear House Negropeons attempt to rationalize a “post racial society” when it is nonexistent. I speak of arrogant classism and privilege in the oppression of man’s inhumanity against man and in opposition to our struggle for human rights in which African American leaders were slaughtered, lynched and detoured from the successful achievement of economic acquisition by Cointelpro. If you would only research the profound disparities in relationship to police and civil brutality and murder of African American Men, and the prison industrial complex, You would know that the odds are stacked against our people. 



YES I AM ANGRY -I am outraged, and very hurt about the continual and systematic injustices toward Afrikan American Men, and those who seek to rationalize and justify the wholesale lynching, murder, disenfranchisement and neo-slavery of our men from the third grade- to special education and the penitentiary. This is a cycle of violence and terrorism that our young men are daily introduced to. I had a Father and Mother in my household, with Brothers, Uncles, Sons, Students, and Grandsons that need more than just their fathers and mothers together in the household, a basketball hoop and an integrated “Kum-ba-ya”. They need to know how to live, survive and maneuver in a world of apathy, callused bigots, institutionalized psychopathic racism, invisible redlining, and a treacherous civil and legal system!




Trayvon Martin also had a father and mother in his household- Trayvon went out on the night of his murder, at the request of his little brother, and was never able to make it back home to his family or his little brother- to be a role model and a big brother to him! Yet even though Trayvon was innocent of any crime, he was caught up in the system and a world of prejudice and stereotypes and at the mercy of a no-win system of heartless, opportunist vigilantes that have targeted our young men for genocide and mentacide.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Son



YES! We have the same rights to our own Kujichagulia (Self-determination) -in building our own self- sustainable economic communities, just as Latinos, Mormons, Jewish, Native Americans, Chinese, Mennonites, Islamic, Italian, Japanese, Koreans, Buddhist, Taiwanese, and other communities have. WE NEED OUR OWN small businesses, land, resources, energy, militias, and police and private security! We DON’T NEED TO LIVE AS SECOND CLASS CITIZENS IN A society that still views Afrikan Americans as a “sub-class.”


I AM TRAYVON’s FAMILY. I am his mother, his aunt, his cousins, his sister, his teacher, his grandmother, and I live in HIS world… I have a right to grieve the loss of my son without the typical middle-class conservative worldview sentiments and opinions.  I hear the hateful gloating of the same old callus, insensitive and offensive, Archie Bunker bigoted mentality. It is apparent that the US Corporatakrazy may have some “demons” of their own to deal with. The US has used African Americans as scapegoats far too long.

By the way, there is no such thing as “race.” It is just another political imperialist construct to dehumanize, isolate, redline, and incite terrorism upon independent communities of color, and rob them of economic stability. There is an undeniable “skin game” that is real for melaninated peoples. This is pervasive all over the world, where Black skinned people are hidden outcasts from the overall population and society. Indian “Untouchables,”   Black Mexicans, Black Chinese, and Black Europeans are often hidden and unspoken. Yet, racial profiling still exists, along with, police brutality, the Injustice system, economic redlining, and other “white” collar criminals and invaders! When I use the word “white” I don’t speak of race- I speak of the 1% elite class and those who identify and discriminate using this construct to receive privileges. This is part of the Stockholm syndrome of PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorders) that many suffer from.

Kwanzaa: The Afrikan American Celebration to Practice Everyday

Kwanzaa (/ˈkwɑːn.zə/) is an African American Holiday!

This week-long celebration is held in the United States and in other nations of the African diaspora in the Americas. It was created in 1965 by Maulana Karenga and was first celebrated in 1966. The celebration honors African heritage in African-American culture and is observed from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a feast and gift- giving.


Kwanzaa is one of the 1st specifically African-American holidays. According to Karenga, the name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza", meaning "first fruits of the harvest." The choice of Swahili, an East African language, reflects its status as a symbol of Pan-Africanism, especially in the 1960s.







Another African American Celebration feast, that is held traditionally on the 4th Sunday of the month of November,  is Umoja Karamu (Unity Feast); Created by Dr. Edward Sims in 1971. http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2015/11/2015-umoja-karamu-unity-feast.html - This feast recognizes 5 key periods of Black History in the Americas. 



Kwanzaa is a celebration that has its roots in the Black Panther poor people's empowerment movement of the 1960s and was established as a means to help African Americans reconnect with their African cultural and historical heritage by uniting in meditation, study of African traditions, and Nguzo Saba, the "seven principles of African Heritage" which Karenga said "is a communitarian African philosophy". For Karenga, a leader in the Black Panther Power movement in California, of the 1960s and 1970s, the creation of such holidays also emphasized an essential premise that "you must have a cultural revolution before any other revolution. The cultural revolution gives identity, purpose, and direction."

Kwanzaa has 7 core principles called Nguzo Saba. (The Nguzo Saba means: Principles Seven-) to guide and direct the path of liberation:  


  1.  Umoja means unity. 
  2.  Kujichagulia means self-determination. 
  3.  Ujima means collective working together. 
  4.  Ujamaa means cooperative Economics 
  5.  Nia means purpose. 
  6.  Kuumba means a handmade basket to represent creativity. 
  7.  Imani means faith, especially faith in ourselves.

Each day of the celebration is noted to celebrate a specific principal. The Swahili greeting of Habari Gani? is a question: What's the News? And the proper response is the principal of that day.

Day 1 Umoja (oo-MO-jah) Unity stresses the importance of togetherness for the family and the community, which is reflected in the African saying, "I am We," or "I am because We are."

Day 2 Kujichagulia (koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah) Self-Determination requires that we define our common interests and make decisions that are in the best interest of our family and community.

Day 3 Ujima (oo-GEE-mah) Collective Work and Responsibility reminds us of our obligation to the past, present and future, and that we have a role to play in the community, society, and world.

Day 4 Ujamaa (oo-JAH-mah) Cooperative economics emphasizes our collective economic strength and encourages us to meet common needs through mutual support.

Day 5 Nia (NEE-yah) Purpose encourages us to look within ourselves and to set personal goals that are beneficial to the community.

Day 6 Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) Creativity makes use of our creative energies to build and maintain a strong and vibrant community.

Day 7 Imani (ee-MAH-nee) Faith focuses on honoring the best of our traditions, draws upon the best in ourselves, and helps us strive for a higher level of life for humankind, by affirming our self-worth and confidence in our ability to succeed and triumph in righteous struggle.

There are 7 symbols that are represented for the harvest display:

Mkeka—woven mat: Symbolic of our tradition and history and therefore, the foundation on which we build

Kinara—candle holder: Symbolic of our roots, our parent people—continental Africans

Mishumaa Saba—the seven candles: Symbolic of the Nguzo Saba (7 principles), the matrix and minimum set of values which African people are urged to live by in order to rescue and reconstruct their lives in their own image and according to their own needs

Mazao—crops: Symbolic of African harvest celebrations and of the rewards of productive and collective labor

Muhindi—corn: Symbolic of our children and our future which they embody

Kikombe cha Umoja—unity cup: Symbolic of the foundational principle and practice of unity which makes all else possible

Zawadi—gifts: Symbolic of the labor and love of parents and the commitments made and kept by the children.


Secondary Symbols  and Swahili terms during Kwanzaa

I. NGUZO SABA (En-GOO-zoh Sah-BAH)  Poster is on display and Symbolizes the seven principles of Kwanzaa, which were developed by Maulana Ron Karenga. The Nguzo Saba are social principles dealing with ways for us to relate to each other and rebuild our lives in our own images.


II. BENDERA YA TAIFA The Red Black and Green flag of African Unity, symbolizes the struggle of Liberation. The Red represents the blood of our ancestors; Black is for the collective color of all Black people, and Green reminds us of the land, life and new ideas we must continue to strive to obtain.

TAMBIKO Is the libation by which honor is given in a special way to our Creator Spirit, Neter/Neteru; Aku /Ancestors; Peret: Seeds, and Anu: Siblings- All life in the present and All newly born that we are called to carry out the struggle and the work that has begun.

About Jamal Ali

Jamal Ali, also known as Ogun Ptah and Khepera( a pseudonym) is an eclectic blend of independent scholar/historian, artist, engineering designer & esotericist. He has taught & lectured across the USA on topics ranging from the sacred architecture of Nile Valley civilizations, including their sciences, arts and symbolic languages (Ancient Nilotic Architecture: A Synthesis of Science, Religion & Philosophy [in work]) to the intersection of modern technology & ancient wisdom systems (Ogun in the 21st Century: The Connection Between Odu & Digital Technology [new edition due Winter '08]). He also made several contributions to the Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture of the World, which was published by Cambridge University Press(1997), edited by Dr. Paul Oliver of Oxford Brookes University, England.



An engineering designer by profession, Ali is the author of over seven hundred poems, in addition to two novels(unpublished), a novella and numerous essays, articles, short stories and plays.



He was the editor of "The Electronic Drum", an early focused webblog found at http://electronicdrum.wordpress.com/about/.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1508927444942



He is the author of "Heart Fires Rendezvous", a three part adventure of many hearts, minds and our fantasies, of our possibilities of possibilities. The trilogy was published in December, 2010 written over his lifetime.



In rich detail, the Ali takes us into layers of tropical human civilizations, thick with spirit and ritual, science, magic and powers which have no name. Wisdom systems are woven in careful empathic mosaic, linking, overlaying and inclusive by paradigm. We discover niches of history often overlooked, see time through the eyes of ancient cultures and taste destiny as more than a fragrance for the mind. It becomes tangible, alluring, compelling...and we begin to remember, hidden stirrings within ourselves, those moments of wonder and connection linking us to the planet, instead of the world.

In this book, Jamal Ali leave us many gifts. Most of all he leaves himself.

‎~
Jamal was and is a lover of Knowledge and Wisdom~
and some timeless truths are known fully
only once beyond the limitations
of temporal embodiment....
Pause amidst autumn's twilight,
imbibe the potent rush of a wind now freed
and you may find yourself inspired as I too have
with a fragrance familiar of cherished life laughing swirling~
it be Jamal Ali PtahOgun dancing through your soul and heart
a moment's loving pause before ascending unto the libraries of eternity....
