Melanated Consciousness

I am starting this blog as an outlet. An outlet for an African that had their history stolen from them. However, it may manifest into something else all on its own...who knows? I see the injustices of white supremacy everyday. The people in my circles remain sleep. They do not wish to acknowledge what slavery is still doing to us today. So here is my outlet. This is what I think, how I feel. Please share this journey with me into black consciousness

Empathy is heavy. And if you aren’t careful, you’ll get weighed down by other people’s poor life choices. That weight will spark resentment...judgment...frustration. Focus on your blessings. Show compassion in times of crisis. No need to question the sanity of someone’s actions. Just be there with your blessed self. Remind them that they are blessed too. Sometimes that’s all a person needs.

I'm a product of my environment 

I allowed him to come in and blow my mind 

Reintroduce me to the high

I lie I lie 

It was I 

It was I that put him to red eyes. 

Everyone out here is getting high

I am a product of my environment 

Or I can truly live the words I preach 

Irie...

Reason 1 why i would never accept a woman as a leader. Nothing is ever their fault, they share no blame or responsibility for their situation. It’s always some man’s fault somewhere or a mental illness.

Accountability for snortin that booger sugar never entered her mind.

Sounds like a man to me 🤷🏾‍♀️

What of this ‘hood nigga?’ This...real nigga. These little boys posed as men. From what I’ve seen they are so lost. I cannot speak on such things without my own flaws being thrown back in my face. Many of which stem from the disappointment in what they believe makes them men. They spend hours on end playing a video game, passing money back and forth amongst each other. Whether they get together or not, no matter what day of the week they poppin bottles. All their money goes towards gambling, drinking and trying to look fly. Their kids, their women become an afterthought in the competition for who can pretend they ‘that nigga’ the most. I understand. Growing up surrounded by abandoned houses, liquor stores and overwhelming police presence can weigh heavy on a person. Mixed in with poverty and poor education, the brainwashing is easy. It’s sad to sit back and watch. I try to teach him what it is to be a family man, but do I really know? I’m not a man. I didn’t grow up with enough of a male presence to know. I only can go by what my pop pop and dad showed me. He’s come such a long way. But those poisonous habits will forever lay dormant in the back of his mind. And it’s only a matter of time before it starts rearing its ugly head again. I wish these black men could see what and who they really are. They would move so differently. In such a more positive vibrational way, without these walls built up so high that no one can get passed them. They would lead. They would see each other as kings and us as their queens. But here we are. Niggas and bitches. Hating each other. Functioning from our lower selves. Fueled by hatred, fearing vulnerability. And here I love my black man through it all.

In the hood it's all about stacking paper. Getting that money. Hustling. Yet the black community is overcome with poverty. Why? The hood mentality is all about looking good. If you got the right gear, whipping the right car...you that nigga. It doesn't matter if you live in ya mom basement or living off ya bm. You are a good parent as long as ya kids rockin them Js. Nevermind that they acting up and bringing home bad grades. Nevermind that you screaming in their face, cussing them out everyday. They got what they wanted for Christmas! The concept of building wealth is not understood among black youth in the hood. They do not realize that their behavior is a direct result of social engineering. TV tells them who to be, what to wear, how to talk, what to care about. White corporations take the money we throw at them for petty material things, and build empires with it. While we lay in the slums of our communities poppin bottles, killing each other and pumping our chests. The loudest one is the weakest one in the room. Go on Facebook(Trenton) and you'll see a bunch of young black youth screaming to the world how great they are. How wonderful their life is. You'll see a bunch of poppin off. A bunch of holier than thou mentalities. But what you won't see is unity. What you don't see is knowledge of self, dignity, self love. But who cares as long as you are driving that benz, right? You can tell how irrelevant a person feels by how badly they need to be seen. And in the hood, everybody wants to be seen.

Instagram Promotions

In the days of ‘pay for promotion,’ the people looking for an organic following are getting lost in the shuffle of people competing for exposure. In starting an Instagram page for my children, I’ve noticed a lot has changed in the last five years or so. Mostly, engagement alone is not enough to get you seen by people using the app. It doesn’t matter how much you post, comment or like...we just aren’t getting seen. The ones getting views on Instagram are the ones paying for it. I’ve found numerous apps or websites that create basic comments and will unfollow people who don’t follow you back. Has this become our experience on Instagram? I just want the old, natural social app that actually promotes real social engagements. Nobody will probably even see this.

[andwhimsicality-deactivated2023]

I’m sick to death of white they thems with green hair who base their whole fucking identity and sense of self around being oppressed. It’s ridiculous and insulting. They get to wrap their whole personalities up in being super queer, super gay, nonbinary af or whatever when at the end of the day they can dye their hair back to a normal colour, grow out their bad haircut, stop introducing themselves as they/them and that’s it. Whereas I can’t just scrub off my black skin. I know so many black and brown women who can actually do nothing to even prevent the harassment we face but you know we don’t walk around talking about how oppressed we are all the goddamn time! We’re just living our lives etc because we don’t see oppression as a badge of honour or identity because we can’t opt in and out based on how we style are hair or dress or how we introduce ourselves​! The fact that these people have the audacity to act like black and brown women have privilege over them because we’re cisgender is ridiculous. Being an oppressed nb queer isn’t a personality, grow up and stop trying to obscure your whiteness in multiple irrelevant identities.

How To Attract What You Desire

Before you begin:

• Know what you want. What you really want. And don’t think of “how” you’ll get it. • Write the desire in present tense on a card. It is now your goal card. • Carry this card with you and read it often. This is putting the desire into your subconscious mind. • Check if your goal is really what you want. Can you imagine bigger? Are you letting fear stop you? Are you answering your soul’s calling with this?

Night:

• How you fall asleep determines what shows up in your life. Everytime. Without fail. So we start our day how we fell asleep the night before, actually. Ask your self one question before you sleep: “If my wishes were fulfilled, how would I feel?” Fall asleep to that question satisfied. • Record an MP3 or voice note of your OWN voice, reciting positive affirmations. Get examples online but personalize them. Your subconscious mind trusts your own voice. Use it. • Never ever let yourself fall asleep feeling stress or failure. Don’t invite it in.

Morning:

• When your eyes open, set your intention for the day. • Did you have any dreams last night? Write them down. • Write 5 things you’re grateful for. Increase to 10 after a while and begin to include wishes that are yet to manifest e.g. “I’m grateful I now weigh __”

Day:

• Read Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. (PDF’s online) Read slowly and reflectively. • Read Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard (PDF’s online) • The Secret book/DVD is great for beginners but you’re going to have to dig deeper to pull this off. • Do what makes you smile. Read, play your music, call a friend, go for walks. Do whatever you can to lighten your mood. •Write about your desire as if it’s already happened. •Visualize your life ASSUMING the desire has already happened. How do you feel? What are you wearing? Where are you? Was manifesting easy and fun?

Remember:

• Bruce Lee, Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey, Big Sean, Conor McGregor and countless others have used this formula. It works, and it will work for you.
