For My People Who Are In and Out Of Doors. . .

    I ask you to pay very close attention to the words in which I am transmitting, for within them are a pearl of wisdom I would like to share with you--or as my brother Saladin says, "I will be dropping some jewels."  This perspective will be very diverse, but I'm sure you kats who have been around the block for a minute will grasp the underlined significance of what I am saying and take this understanding to heart.  But I will say this from the door, I love you all:

     I was talking to some brothers and sisters on the corner (in a transmission with my 3rd eye turned inward towards rest), when I heard the topic of the book, "Science of Self," came up.  It was then that the brother asked, "Is That a book written by a Cripp?"  

     Now, we were at a festival of some sort and the event was about to close, and this brother was selling what appeared to be a turkey or ground beef on an extra-large pizza.  It was about near closing, and the time was about "give away because I don't want to carry it home" time--so he "made me an offer I had to refuse."

I said, "I'm strictly vegan. . .  But if you take that up to the front--I'm sure you can gather with all the others, doing the same thing, and that will attract more people willing to take it off your hand for nothing--or near to nothing.  But say, "Not that I particularly have anything against them--yet why did you say the book on the "Science of Self" was written by some "Cripps?"

     "He said, there is a lot of symbolism in it; like what I know Cripps speak about. . ."

     "Well, I said, these brothers that wrote this (meaning the authors), originally became aware  from off of the street.  They are the "Stone that the builder refused"--a man versus society, type of thing but it ain't Blood,Cripp, or Tenderlines. . .  Everything ain't bad out there--but you have to put your 'ears to the ground' to see what is coming.  Consciousness comes in several forms.  They say, "Ain't no love out here in these streets'--but there's some pearls out there, if you are wise and have ears that understand.  You have to understand that "love" is the reason that the words are out there to begin with.  If there weren't brothers and sisters out there  who care for us as a people, they wouldn't be spitting such things to begin with--But that's a little something younger kats know little about,"  my persons retorted.  

     "Why you say that?" he said, as he looked for a surface with the proper tarp-like covering, to lay the pizza down.

     "Because times have changed, and with it, people's levels of understanding and values have also."  Them kats called "Cripps" used to be conscious kats--whose leader was Ron Karenga:  The "Bloods" use to be members of the "Black Panthers," self help group, food can drive and the whole nine. . . Ever read anything by H. Rap Brown or Eldridge Cleaver?  George Jackson?  Those was conscious brothers, so how did all this community consciousness turn into street gangs and thugs who murder their own people?

     It is a known fact that both the Panthers and Ron Karenga's followers were infiltrated; and since they were, they could have only been classified as, "Enemies of the State."  Now both groups were community activists.  The Panthers renovated the before and after school programs, revolutionizing the process with can drives and neighborhood drug cleanup.  Ron Karenga studied tradition African society and unified their principles and gave Black people in America the holiday called, "Kwanzaa."  In other words, these groups culturally enriched our communities on the West coast. . .  So why were they considered, "Enemies of the State?"  

     Because America was originally a colony of England.  A colony is a group of people who settle in a new era; but keep their connections to the place where they come from.  Their culture is pretty much the same as land in which they came from, with adaptations to the new environment.  The people who founded what was later to become the United States first came to place where the Native Americans once roamed to live as part of a British colony.

     Christopher Columbus is accredited for founding America, but when he came to this country, he founded the so-called Indians who were said to be exiled 16,000 years ago from India.  So by the story history tells and the chronological that exists, you can tell that there's a cover up and a blatant disrespect for the Native Americans.  It is as though the Natives didn't even exist, when Americans say that Christopher Columbus discovered America:  And given the politics in the oncoming centuries--these same "Americans" and their descendants would have turned these people into "ghosts" and "living dead."  People you have to be very careful about the imagery the entertainment industry gives to you--for your people might be in there too. 

   And finally, Colonialism has to do with one country capitalizing off of another country, imposing on another country by making it into a colony; Which is usually good for the mother country and bad for the peoples that the others made into THEIR COLONY.  Colonialism is a system in which mother country creates an empire by possessing other people's lands and making them into colonies.  The colonies don't have power over themselves, and the mother country consumes the resources and money from that colony.  America was one such colony.  India was another.  Hong Kong was one as well; not to mention, Australia.  

     It's not a very just or honorable system, but it's also how this country (now called the US) got started; as well as Australia and India:  England was really into colonialism and had built a huge empire, that is, until some feisty American working class Masons decided to buck against the royal Masons and aristocracy and spurred the occupying population to rebel.

     So regardless of how the Natives viewed themselves or how many treaties they signed; there was still two societies: The Natives and the American colonists.  And despite emancipation and numerous civil rights protest Blacks initiated in this land, there are two different societies: the previous Black slaves who have become working class poor and the  former colonists who made a rich country out of Black people's FREE LABOR AND TALENT: Wherefore any attempt at self help and community organization--was and should be considered as a threat to the exploitative political process which governs the mainstream society which governs this capitalistic society;  So that's why the Panthers and Ron Karenga was considered a "domestic enemy" because our independence makes us a people who are not looking for others to take care of us; which makes us a group of people who are no longer being used by this society and whose politics are no longer being controlled by a colony of capitalists; who's citizens once owned you--and who's government will not give Blacks rights that are comparable to Whites.

     So the FBI instituted COINTELPRO and infiltrated both groups.  Black people never separated themselves from America, America from the time of slavery up until present, never gave us the same rights as Whites--which spurred both Civil Rights movements for Freedom, Justice, and Equality. 

     At some point we must recognize that we will never be accepted as.  Gang boys  recognize this from day one.  They are the people who live out on the street and  recognize themselves as out-casted.  They may want the money and the luxury, but no way do they want the lifestyle. . .  They also recognize they have a different set of values--the only education necessary is ones which represent the right choices--for that we have to look to experiences and proper education of a higher degree.  Or  outlook is different from the colonist mentality: This includes our purpose in life.  Ultimately we cannot accept his concepts of God and "knowing thyself" because in his heaven, we are the footstool; Just as in ours, he is our antagonist: OUR DEVIL.        

     Knowledge of Self, properly understood is a knowledge of we because God is an  omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent being--and the only way that infinite being can be represented in physical reality is an infinitude of forms; not for their own   individual sake; but for the sake of the hive.  Therefore Nation, family and  partnership solidarity is more important; for Self is the true reality of all and individual Self by itself does fall.  God is a group reality experienced through th  eyes of the individual.  I AM because WE ARE: Awake the Sleeping Giant!  

Stir the hornets nest!   Buy Black and support your own institutions!      

    

Peace
