- African Proverb
A host of positive psychological changes inevitably will result from widespread economic security. The dignity of the individual will flourish when the decisions concerning his life are in his own hands, when he has the means to seek self-improvement. Personal conflicts among husbands, wives and children will diminish when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated. - Martin Luther King Jr.

A slave that has been fed with uncertainty, a slave that has been detached from reality and thrown into a fantasy land. Reduced from a human state, to a category of a dog. For centuries our, land, homes societies have been raped, and exploited We have been enslaved, oppressed, controlled, suppressed, conditioned and fine-tuned into becoming puppets. The best way to enslave a man is to enslave his mind. The mind of black people has been in this state for centuries. The body can only do what the mind deems as fit, and what the mind deems fit depends on what the mind contains. If a mind is filled with thought of being inferior, being at the mercy of others, being lost, helpless, being impotent to do anything himself only with some external help, being directionless, that mind will act under the principles to which it has been conditioned.
It's very disturbing and shameful to see my black brothers and sisters basing their lives and existence on the European version of things. Seek education about our culture to know we had, cities, civilizations, kingdoms, science, and technology more advance than any other civilization known to man. How did we get to this state? How are we so brainwashed ? To the extent we are merely echoing what we have been mentally conditioned with. How do we know where we are going, if we don't educate ourselves to know where we come from? There needs to be a change. Lets make the change together
Much love,

TO ALL MY SISTERS
\ blak. womun \ noun
1. beautiful, powerful, resilient woman of African decent, with skin
kissed by the sun. Not a female dog nor a tool.
2. A leader, the mother of all mankind, a Queen of many Queens.
But......... Every-time I look on social media, my heart breaks. Women degrading their bodies with twerk videos, and provocative clothing. Taking pride in being called a baby mama, or a bad b****. I witness women degrading one another because ones skin isn't light enough, hair isn't straight enough or just don't meet the standards of " SO CALLED BEAUTY ". It's truly heartbreaking, I'm ashamed of our culture because these issues are being implanted into the minds of our young black girls.
We are suppose to empower on another and love our sisters. We are to stick together by any means necessary. We are a stronger force when we all stick together. How to you think
" The Civil Rights Movement " was accomplished ? Because brothers and sisters stuck together to fight for what they wanted. They've done the work and set the path, seems now no one wants to stick together anymore......... Let that sink in!!!!!
We will never make it to where we need to be, until we decide to put one foot forward. Lets stop hating one another, killing one another and start becoming part of one another.

The Purpose
What do you think when you hear the word African American ? How do you feel when you are referred as a " Black " person? These are very important questions. The purpose of this blog is to educate, empower motivate the minds of my brothers and sisters. We have to make a change and we have to make it now.
