Politics

Hi Everybody,

Republican or Democrat? Neither

              I hate politics. Now I will tell you why I hate politics. The answer is simple: They lie. Every politician that has ever made it into the white house, the senate and house as well as the supreme court has lied. America by far is the worst of all. Every time I think something is about to change, there is some overly dramatic excuse of why they can't do anything. It's very annoying getting lied to just to get a vote.

Voting?   DON'T.

            I don't vote at all. Here is why. America has told us that our vote is so important and this is a democratic country. Not really. America is a Democratic Republic country that is turning Communist each and every day. I don't vote because they rig it and say that its popular vote when a matter a fact its actually the Electoral College calling all the shots. Remember when Al Gore went up against George Bush Jr. and how Al Gore won the popular vote but the Electoral College chose Bush. Therefore, Bush won the presidency. 

         Cash flow always ruled the government. How much money they can scam off us. No matter what. Money is the root of all evil. Politicians can care less what happens to us all they want is to know is where the money is coming and going. That's it. That's why wall street is politician's bible. 

            What has America done for us? After having our ancestors slaving out in the fields in the South or slaving to build cities in the North and pretty much built this country from the ground up. Where is our compensation? We have nothing to show for it. Politics say that they would help us and give us equality but NOTHING! We are still in Ghettos, still struggling to pay our bills and can't afford decent clothes because we are worried about what we are going to eat tomorrow. This doesn't make any sense. After all of what our ancestors did, we get nothing but a "get over it". That's it. That's why I don't vote. Yeah I know about the stories of what Martin Luther King did but voting isn't going to help us. Plus, Martin Luther King was apart of the Freemasonry so there we go. He's a sell out. 

           That's why I don't mess around with voting because nothing changes. We are still in the same positions that we have always been. It's both a physical struggle and a psychological struggle. They are playing games with us. They don't want the system to change if they did that than we would see lots of improvement but because America is racist. We have to deal with the undercover racism that lurks in our backyards. 

God Bless.

Hair

Hi Everyone,


        I want to talk about Hair. This is mainly for all of my sistas out there. Because of how blessed we are. We have created lots of different hair styles over the years but my favorites are Afros, Locs, and Braids.


Afros:

       The most natural form of our hair. I love the fullness of it and how beautiful it looks on women and men. This means that you are not afraid to go out there and sport your natural hair. I see lots of women out there with Afros in my community and I am very proud of you guys. Keep it going.

Locs:

          Another natural form when you want to turn your fro into locs. I love the way locs look and I see a lot of brothas and sistas out there rocking their locs. I think that its awesome how natural is coming back at full swing. 

Braids:

        Braids are also beautiful and the most effective protective hairstyle you can get. I also see lots of women out with braids. I love how the natural is coming back. This is amazing. Please keep it going.

        Overall, what I'm trying to say is when  we go natural and actually look at our hair; we see that our hair is not really nappy like we have been told for years. God made our hair this way and we should be proud of it and not trying to go after what society wants for us. We got to start thinking about what we want for ourselves. And that goes more than just talking about hair, but also about personality. Hair is a very big thing for women. So we all need to be supportive over our natural journeys. Men too. You guys have to be supportive of the Natural Movement. The Natural Movement is the Best Movement. Besides, our hair is apart of our culture too. Look at what we can do with our hair. No many people apart from us can do this. You know. lol.

God Bless.

Soul

Hi Everyone,

           Where there is culture, there is Soul. The soul is the very essence of our being. We are naturally gifted by God and we express ourselves through dance, music, art, and other forms of culture. Even clothing. We turned everything negative into something positive. Literally. Nowadays, I don't see much of it. Mainly because it has been criticized by society but this is who we are inside and there is nothing that society can do about it. 

            From all over the world, we have been making expression and have been using  our Soul to do it. To create something new:

Reggae

Rap

Rock

Pop

Gospel

Spiritual/Political Activism/ Neo-Soul

            From all over we have made our mark known in Music especially. Many genres and many legends. We express ourselves through art:

Dance:

Food:

Clothes:

          So on and so forth. That's why I say that we have to be the most soulful people here on this planet because we have made a name for ourselves whether society wants to acknowledge it or not. We have went through a lot but by the Grace of God we have made it through. Always remember that we have Soul and God is Soul. 

God Bless.

Organic Roots: God's People

Hi Everyone,


          I wanted to talk about our roots. For across the globe we have been shunned out because of our roots and thus making self hatred. We need to be proud of where we com from and know that we have made it very far. We are scattered all over because of our disobedience to God but by the Grace of Him we have been able to make it through, even the toughest situations.

         The problem that I have with history is that they only want to label us as the ones that got on slave ships and beaten by white people and then get underrated like dogs. It just didn't start with us being on slave ships. We were forced on slave ships. Before that we where a great nation. Towering over every situation that came our way. We are God's People. We are the legendary Hebrews that are spoken about in the Bible. We are trendsetters. We are unity and we are powerful when we stand together under God. 

         Look at our culture and what we have achieved. Everything we touched has been blessed by God. So why is it that we struggle with ourselves. We wrestle with our own selves as a people and as a person. We find it hard to be ourselves because we are constantly criticized by society, yet we wrestle with our own spirits because we go along with society. What are we to do?

            We go back to where it all started. Back to the beginning and back to our Organic Roots. What are Organic Roots? Well going back to the True Essence of who you really are inside. The Organic, the Original and the Powerful Hebrews.  

        Before slavery and before our settlement in Africa there is Y'isreal. So don't settle for less. Be proud of who you are inside. Know that you are important to God because He created you. We are fashioned by His Image. We are chosen by Him. So don't fall into society's trap. Just go back to being who we really are inside.

God Bless.

Herbs

Hi Everyone,


          I wanted to talk about herbs. Not talking about Wicca or Voodoo. I'm talking about herbal teas and natural remedies that can help out with our health.

         For a long time we have been told to stay away from herbs because its either witchcraft or the fact that doctors don't know anything about it. However, in the old days, our ancestors used herbs for medical uses. I think that its time for us to go back to those times. Herbs been used for many medical purposes. For example, Aloe treats the skin and a dry scalp. Ginger root helps with stomach aches. Horehound battles colds and flues and Lavender is a natural sleep aid. Dong Quai also helps females with menstrual cramps. Sage can be used for the digestive system. You can use herbs for almost everything. 

            The best preferable method is drinking herbs in tea from. You can get them online or a local herb store. You can also get them in pill form as well if you rather take them than drink tea. Another form of herbs is:

           Essential Oils. You can add a few drops of this with a carrier oil like Olive, Coconut, Grape seed, or Jojoba Oil. You can add this in your bath water and it can go in your pores of your skin. or you can add it in your shampoo or conditioner if you want to treat your hair. Just a couple of drops. Don't go crazy because essential is 100% uncut. 

            You can also use herbs for aromatherapy. For example, you can burn eucalyptus essential oil for sinus problems. Or if you have problems sleeping you can burn Lavender oil. Aromatherapy is very good if you don't want to but it in your bath water or drink herbs. You can also get the benefits by inhaling it when you use it as a burning oil.

            Herbs is beneficial towards your health. Remember this is what God has given us from the Earth. Herbs have been along way longer than any medication that we can think of. If you as the doctor about herbs they are more than likely to become upset because it interferes with the cash flow. Just do some research on herbs, try some teas and essential oils (beware of the essential oils because of the price. You do better purchasing online.). You'll be surprised on how much better you will feel. 

God Bless.

Health

Hi Everyone,

          Okay so I want to do a quick post about Health. Especially for our so called "minorities". They say that we are in the red zone for having High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer and everything else they name. I don't want to see my people get these thing let alone die from these things. So I believe that its best to try to eat something healthy. 

          Hate to say this but we, as a people, need to cut down on the meat. This is the root of our problems. It lies in the meat. They pump lots of artificial chemicals in the meat and add meat glue to peace the meat together and steroids to make the meat bigger. When you eat meat you are also consuming the hormones of that animal. Hence fear when they go into the slaughter house. Now, there has just been a passing of a bill that allows America to receive meat from other places overseas. So now we don't really know where the meat is coming from. I don't know if you guys have seen the movie "Contagion" but it was talking about a wide spread epidemic that started in Hong Kong and made it to America. Just telling you guys what the movie is about. No offence to Hong Kong. So we could be consuming rats and not know it because our meat is coming from an unknown source and plus they clone the meat. 

               America is embarrassed to say that they are running out of resources but they are. This is off topic but if you go in a grocery store to get apple juice notice that they say that the concentrate comes from either Peru or China. America is literally out of resources. Okay, back to the subject:

         I know that this can be really hard but of the hard times that we are facing but try to invest in some fruit or vegetables. This would be a more healthier choice towards your diet. There are a lot of vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables and its actually a myth when they say that there isn't much proteins. 

           Because they bleach the white bread its best to get wheat. One hundred percent whole wheat is good to. My personal choice is Honey Wheat. Wheat is a better choice because you don't have to worry about extra chemicals in the bread as they do in white bread and plus it has fiber. 

        Good ol' fashioned water also helps maintain the minerals that you need. Not only it helps with skin but it also helps with keeping ourselves right on the inside. Our body is roughly 95% water. So its good to add water within our diet to help cleanse those toxins and unwanted chemicals that seem to be in our way. 

         Working out. Yep, its as essential as keeping a healthy diet. Try exercising twice or three times a week. This well not only help keep the weight off but it can also keep your metabolism going and keep you from seeing the doctor almost once every two weeks. No one likes going to the doctor. Also maintaining a healthy diet and exercise will keep you from taking pills and help avoid all the things that we are at a high risk for. 

God Bless.

Art

Hey Everyone,


           One thing I am beginning to notice that there isn't much art out there. Where are all of our talented artists go.

         We need to introduce our children into art. There are so much out there than sports and reality tv shows. Yeah it may not be as appealing as the latest video game or the new iPhone. But it is apart of our culture as well. If we introduce them to this early than it would be easier for acceptance. Like I said before, we have a very rich culture and we should be proud of it. 

         We have lots of things that I feel has died out even Graffiti: 

           So much has left us. I say to all of our talented artists out there, keep representing for us because we need more of it. 

God Bless.

All One

Hi Everybody,


       I wanted to talk about how we are One. It's true. We are. No just us doing what we do best but for our communities and nature that surrounds us everyday. We have to be aware of our surroundings because our ecosystem is what helps us stay alive.

        See we look at our fellow countries like we don't have anything to do with them. So when a natural disaster happens, we look around and say, " Well that's over there" or "what does that have to do with me or us". It has a lot to do with us. What effects one area effects all areas. We have to be conscious about this. That way we can be proactive when things happen. Not just with natural disasters but also with crime rates and our communities as well. 

       See as "minorities", we live mostly in the suburbs, urban and rural areas. Its already hard for us to live in standard living so look what happens when a natural disaster happens:

Hurricane Katrina

Haiti Earthquake

Super Typhoon Haiyan

Ebola Outbreak in Africa

        All of these places have been effected but because it didn't happen in our current location, we are most likely to ignore it. Why is that? I never could fully understand the logic in that. They are our people too. They live and have families and work hard to survive like we are. Everyday there is a struggle and we are very strong people to go through the things that we been through and still strive. All of this by the Grace of God. We are strong people when we stand alone but we are even stronger if we stand together. So why don't we come together and treat each other like family. 

God Bless.

Natural

Hi Everybody,

     This post is about going natural. I am so proud of my brothers and sisters out there going natural. This means going back to your roots of who you really are and connecting with God within you. This is a huge transition and it means more than transitioning your hair to a more natural state is about going back to your roots. The Hebrew Roots.

       Natural is more than just losing the make up and the weave and the fancy clothes. Its about going inside your self and feeling good about yourself for you and no body else.

       See you are connecting with God. We are the true people and we should be able to love each other and ourselves for what God has made us to be. We are made in his image and it wouldn't hurt to go natural and do what feels good for our spirits. Whether it be reading the bible, doing daily meditation, yoga or even taichi. 

     When you go natural it doesn't just mean losing the society image, it also means getting out of the matrix and being who you truly are inside. No matter what the cost. There will be others that choose to stay in the societal terms and that's fine. Going Natural is a personal choice. We have the free will to make our own decisions. However, I believe that if you go Natural your are connected with the Spirit of God and you are more in tuned with the universe that is around you. Remember Samson? 

        So going Natural is way deeper than hair, skin, nails, and body. It's about connecting to God. Connecting to the Universe. God is the Universe. So lets all keep this in mind as your transition from the society towards going to a more natural state of mind. 

God Bless.
