Black People : What Does Conscious Mean - When We're All Dependent On Others?

Destee wrote; What Does Conscious Mean - When We're All Dependent On Others? Consciousness will very obviously mean different things to different people as exemplified by my conscious discomfort with being able to name 30 European monarchs easily while still having difficulty [despite over 30 years reconnecting to African history] naming 10 African monarchs [CAN YOU]?

Black People in America depend on white people to provide their food, lights, gas, and water ... life necessities. How dependent were the GAP community of Tulsa circa 1920 and are you truly unaware of our diverse array of contributions to civilisation in every area of human activity over the last 5000 years?

But we will QUICKLY jump on another Sister or Brother ... talking about how blind, lost, and pitiful they are ... when you are just as bound. Isn’t the TRUTH the fact that we peoples of African ethnicity in the UK, USA , the rest of the Diaspora and Africa are all frontline soldiers in a War that has NEVER EVER been openly declared then or now by THESE so despicably cowardly Semetic/White PARASITES, just very very efficiently waged/they JUST DO IT?

Nubia/Khemet battled and resisted the Semitic hordes for millennia but from the moment Alexander the Macedonian peasant overran Khemet we've been losing this WAR, with the situation becoming a rout when Augustus [Julius Caesar's nephew, heir and history's greatest VANDAL] deliberately destroyed Khemet's most spectacular Pyramid at Abu Rawash [which you've never heard of, have YOU]?

This so deliberate piece of cultural vandalism was done to DELETE DJEDEFRAH from history as this African Pharaoh is now acknowledged as the builder of the Sphinx which honours his father Khufu [who built the Great Pyramid at Giza]; and as exemplified by the murderous carnage in Darfur and the Congo TODAY along with NATO’s so murderous slaughter of Gaddafi [killing him and his Afrocentric agenda in one] and thousands of Libyans, we're still in BIG trouble/losing this WAR, aren't WE?

Wishing this WAR away hasn't worked for the African collective in the USA, the rest of the Diaspora and Africa for the last 500 years because Slavery and Colonialism didn't so much end as evolve into the current reality of White/European socio-economic domination in every area of human activity so why are WE expecting the chaos in our communities and countries to improve in the near future??

How can we do this to each other? A sister very very comprehensively slapped me up on a “What is your favourite film” thread on AOHELL’S now defunct Blackvoices.

My favourite at the time due to truly superb performances from ALL the actors involved was “The Colour Purple” whereas this Sister challenged me as to my being aware that Alice Walker is a lesbian [I wasn’t], did I notice that all the Black Male characters were as fundamentally flawed and weak as the Black Female characters were strong [I hadn’t]?

She then applied the coup de grace to my waking coma by enquiring as to whether I had ever seen “The Tuskegee Airmen” [a historically factual account of the so spectacular exploits of an African American fighter squadron in WWII that reads like fiction]; I had, and immediately became conscious as to how completely I’d been taken in and poisoned by just how superbly crafted “The Colour Purple’s” fictional depiction of very very flawed, weak and somewhat STUPID Black Americans.

All I could say afterwards was THANK YOU SISTER for the WAKE UP CALL whereas why do so many of us want to stay asleep/unconscious [I DON’T]?

What drives us to think we are better than another Sister or Brother, when you gotta go to the same white folk for life necessities?! What necessities, how did Africa manage to give birth to the concept of technical culture [through Nubia/Khemet/Egypt] without ANY European input [or survive and thrive up to 500 years ago] and why do you think THEY so deliberately destroyed the GAP community of Tulsa on the 1st June 1921 and are so constantly destroying ANY country [like Saddam's Iraq, Libya under Gaddafi with Iran next in the meat grinder] or group focused on their country's socio economic advancement/in our case an African Renaissance as opposed to staying under their heel?

What else but the dynamic of white supremacy ... the great force that pushes us to damage each other ... can explain this phenomena? Isn’t it both our individual and collective responsibility to BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY do our utmost to stop the ongoing African HOLOCAUST [that enslaved the ancestors and their tortured, mutilated and murdered siblings] of over 500 years now, continuing to be WHAT IS?

How can one drape themselves in "consciousness" ... be better than another ... when they are just as subject to white supremacy racism, as the rest of us?! What is your best chance of solving a very serious problem that you are consciously ignoring as opposed to being intently focused on resolving?

Please help me understand.

Thanks in advance. Looking at the chaos in our communities in the UK, USA and the rest of the Diaspora that degenerates into murderous carnage in Africa Isn’t sleepwalking ALWAYS too dangerous when the rest of Humanity is alert, awake and DOING FOR SELF?

Isn't ANYONE who genuinely believes they are not programmed
graphically illustrating that their programming is COMPLETE?

I wasn't thinking like that. The Sister who showed me the poem was up there in age. A poem I read reminded her of "The Last Poets." I suppose that I do seem to go back in time and shake the aged, withered bodies, but only by coincidence. To me, the past is indicative of potential; so showing "The Last Poets" is showing ourselves. You know?

Dr. John Henrik Clarke put it this way:

“The events which transpired five thousand years ago; Five years ago or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now; five years From now or five thousand years from now. All history is a current event.”

and

"History is a clock that people use to tell their time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are, and what they are."

Though if I remember correctly, these two were said together. Still, I can try to be more contemporary. :)

You're loved back!


Brother ABSibliings ... as i said, your courage to tread what some (i) consider "sacred ground" is admirable, and no doubt necessary ... i simply caution that you do it with the highest regard and respect ... taking into consideration that for our people, these folk and their contributions are held in high esteem. You don't want to completely lose your audience, by not taking the time to consider where they are and how they might respond to what you put on the table, for doing such could make your whole effort a waste of time ... and leave you in a position never to be listened to again (by them).

Bascially i'm saying ... you do good ... we need your young and vibrant energy ... like a stallion raring and kicking to get out of the gate ... but uuhhhh ... don't tear the whole barn down doing it ... :lol:

Love You! :love:

Untill we start teaching ourselves the real truth from our roots and have the courage to face the reality of white supremacy, our challenges will continue to grow.
How can you reach a brother or sister hell bent on dying for a religion, a cultural statement from an alien minority culture that deals and trade in dishonesty? When will our brothers and sisters learn that a free people speak their own language, practice their own spirituality, have divine rights to use their land and minds for their own upliftment?
I love our mental and spiritual healing posts...We Keep Rising
Our Ancestors be Praised.


Brother Enejoh ... great post ... thank you! ... :toast:

Thank you too for joining us and sharing ... Welcome Welcome Welcome ... :wave:

Sometimes, reaching those "hell bent on dying" ... may require us to step back and let them live.

Put the information before them, and hope they live long enuff to absorb it in their own time and way.

Be an example to them, as they look across the landscape for those living up to the words they present.

Sometimes ... most times ... that's all we can do.

Love You! :grouphug:
