A Black perspective on American Geopolitics

All Eyes are on America. The 'Conflict' in Iran continues, as Donald Trump makes daily posts on Truth Social, in an effort to manipulate Global Markets, but negotiations with Iranian counterparts remain slow going. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains Closed, & the Global Economy is stuck in a quagmire of Trump's own making. Geopolitical Analysts collectively agree that Trump, Lindsey Graham, & Pete Hegseth are doing the bidding of Benjamin Netanyahu & the Israeli Government. The same Geopolitical Analysts agree that Trump appears to be stalling, while The U.S. restocks Armaments in preparation for another round of Attacks. The 'Plan' is Destabilization. The U.S. & Israel hoped a 'Decapitation Strike', combined with a Bombing Campaign, & internal 'Sleeper Cells' would create an environment of unrest in Iran that they could manipulate to bring about 'Regime Change'.

On the Other Side, We see an almost smug Iranian Government that is practically daring the U.S. & Israel to make a move. As Trump & his Cabinet weigh their options, The World is watching. Everyone heard his campaign promise to bring Peace in Gaza, end the Ukrainian War in One Day, & negotiate 'Deals' to end ALL Wars. Trump said that he intended to lead as a 'Peacetime President', & petitioned heavily for the Nobel Peace Prize. During his 1st Year in Office, Donald Trump claimed success in ending several Conflicts, but Ukraine, Gaza, Congo, & Sudan remain ongoing. Despite transferring [strategic] Military Resources to the Mediterranean Theater, the U.S. continues to hypothesize about:

A possible/ eventual Conflict with China

Expanding Operations in Venezuela to include a Cuban 'Regime Change'

An invasion of Greenland

A 'Recolonization' of Afrika

Black America has collectively listened to the conversations of Geopolitical Experts, & We hear a familiar argument of Sustained Resilience being raised as a tactic. Our Lineage, has been engaged in a sustained Resistance Struggle against 'Western Hegemony', since 1526 ACE (possibly earlier). This Year, We commemorate 500Yrs of 'Sustained Resilience'; including 250Yrs of fighting Americanism- from within the 'Belly of the Beast'. From Our vantage point, We see how thin the U.S. is spreading itself. Donald Trump's 'Display of Strength', is only exposing America's Military shortcomings. China & Russia are paying close attention to U.S. deployments; BOTH have a motivation to keep the current Iranian Government in power.

The Trump Administration doesn't scare Blackfolk. He's not doing ANYTHING Foreign or Domestically, that hasn't been done to Us at some point in American History. The only difference between Trump & previous Presidents, is his willingness to 'stick it' to EVERYONE. We're well versed on how Benign Neglect Policies siphoned resources from Us & transferred them to 'Newcomers'. We sometimes joke about their Sense of Privilege, but the Collective Panic that We see among Non Black Americans is worth noting. I'm reminded of that Israeli Ambassador speaking in Atlanta- She said Black American Youth, were a 'Threat' to Israel's National Security. I can rationalize how Israel can see a threat to America, as a threat to them.

I fully understand how Black America is seen as the biggest threat to American National Security. NO ONE challenges U.S. Policy more than We do. Despite their best efforts to Silence & Exterminate Us, Blackfolk remain a constant reminder of America's True Legacy. We can also understand how the Alphabet Agencies & their NGO proxies would love to have power over Our Politics. The U.S. Government has used Immigrants to supplant Us for over 175Yrs, so a 'Deep Dive' into the geopolitics of Immigration is long overdue. We can rationalize how European, Hispanic, & Asian Immigrants aspire to Whiteness, & how they may adopt Mainstream Ideals. We were literally blindsided by the notion that a considerable number of Caribbean & Afrikan Immigrants may share the same sentiment.

We assumed that All Melanated People shared a similar sentiment to Ours in America. We learned about the Caribbean Maroons, the Mau Mau, & the Freedom Fighters in Algeria, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, & Angola. Our Grandfathers tried to join Ethiopia in their War against Mussolini. We joined the Anti- Apartheid Movement & FORCED American Divestment in Apartheid South Afrika. We assumed that these people shared Our passion for fighting White Supremacy. We now have empirical evidence that a majority of the Melanated Masses of The World are beholden to Western Hegemony & White Supremacy. We see the same traits throughout the Diaspora- a Collective aspiration to a European Standard of doing things, & acceptance of their 'place' on the Totem Pole. As a general practice, they sit back while Asians dominate their spaces & denigrate them in their Own House. Their 'Culture' is only superior, when they compare it to Black American Culture.

Delineation has given us an ability to step outside ourselves & look at things from a 'Bird's Eye view'. Looking at Pan Afrikanism & the 'Black & Brown Coalition' from this view, We noticed an assortment of Anti-Black American sentiment. We also saw a clear double standard, in regard to reciprocation. The amount of Anti-Black rhetoric that was hurled at Us (from ALL CORNERS of the World), while We commemorated 100Yrs of celebrating 'Black American' History & Achievement was more than mind boggling, it was intentional! The Collective assessment to date, is: These Communities have 'Lots of Smoke' for ADOS/ FBA [Freedmen], but little Energy for the Whitefolk making derogatory comments & taking action against them.

Being 'In' America, We are [intimately] aware of the capabilities of the U.S. Government. They literally 'cut their teeth' on Blackfolk, so their tactics are very familiar to Us. It's one of MANY reasons why We're 'Foundational'. We see (over & over) how Nations are destabilized & Governments toppled; fruits of the time tested tactic of 'Divide & Conquer'. When Black Americans look around The World, We see 2 Models: Nations that aspire to Western Capitalism, & Nations trying to exist outside of it. In both cases, We see how the U.S. Government exploits the divisions within a given Nation to their benefit. We also see how BOTH Models feature a Culture of Anti-Blackness- from Colorism, to full Anti-Black Racism.

From a geopolitical perspective, it's becoming clear that the U.S. Government used 'Multicultural Coalitions' as a Trojan Horse into Black American Politics. When We follow the money, We see the usual suspects over & over. Liberal Progressive Organizations prop up individuals as 'Up & Coming' or 'Rising Stars'. The Grassroots assume that individual is working in Our best interest, so We support their Rise to Power. We see these individuals saying all of the right things at Press Conferences & Public Events; Legislatively, they tell Us to be patient, while they fight to bring Resources to folks outside of Our District. We now know that many of these individuals are 2nd or 3rd Generation Immigrants, who have very little in common w/ Us... Watching these Legislators place other groups before their Constituents is odd to Us.

To get a better understanding of the 'Newcomers' involved in Our Politics, We need to understand where they came from & the circumstances that led to their Immigration. Melanated Immigrants come from what the U.S. Government calls 'The 3rd World'. These are former European Colonies that are operating under varying degrees of Neocolonial manipulation. The Citizens aspire to the former Colonist, more than the Native Culture. There is a consistency of opportunism, & a TOTAL LACK of accountability- in both the individuals, & the Governments that they fled from. These people are Tribal by nature, so they look out for their kinsmen before Anyone Else. In Countries like Nigeria, that means backing an inferior Candidate over a more suitable Candidate from a different Tribe.

The Congressional Black Caucus is FULL of these Individuals. In Our 'Pan Afrikan Haze', We just saw Melanin. We treated this 'New Crop' of Immigrants like the neighbors of Our Childhood. We visualized Shirley Chisholm & Black Immigrants of her Era, as We watched them push the Democratic Agenda of: Coalitions, DEI, LGBTQ..., & Immigration. We assumed they were 'Giving to Get'. They began elevating 'cronies', who seemed more focused on their particular Ethnic Group, than the Collective. As their [Population] numbers rose, so did their arrogance. Our [initial] Silence encouraged them to be more aggressive about their Agenda. These People began speaking on Our Behalf, but don't really understand Our specific situation.

Today, Black Immigrants believe they can speak FREELY about Black Americans. They are now:

Refuting & Revising Our History & Ethnogenesis in North America

Cosplaying Us & Our Heroes regularly 'On Stage & Screen'

Laying claim to Traditional Black Communities, Institutions, & Elements of Cultural Expression (aka The 'Take Over')

Chiming in on OUR Reparations Conversations

Minimizing the contributions Black Americans made to America over the last 250Yrs

Ironically, MOST ARRIVED AFTER 1980. When We look at their actions [back] in their Mother Countries, We see a consistency. Self Motivation, is their Driving Force. They talk to Us about 'Pan Afrikanism', but they lack the 'Nationalism' needed to stay Home & build it up. Patriotism, is an act of sacrifice. These Folks aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of their Country; they're 'Going for Self'. Many abandoned their families in the pursuit of Self Interest. THIS is the personality type that We have making decisions for Us.

Looking at the bigger picture of American Geopolitics, We fully understand the Role that Black Immigrants are being asked to play. The U.S. assault on Iran, is just an 'extension' of Tactics that the American Government used on Black Americans for generations. As the ONLY GROUP to consistently resist White Supremacy, the assumption is:

If it works against Blackfolk, it will most likely work on Everyone Else.

The Alphabet Agencies learned Counter Intelligence & Destabilization Tactics from their assault on Indigenous Black Communities over the last 250Yrs. If a 'Method' is effective against Blackfolk, it's expanded into U.S. Foreign Policy. We also had to deal with Aerial Bombings & Blockades on Our Towns, along with Asset Seizure & Tariffs on Our Products. City, State, & Federal Entities are ACTIVELY INVOLVED in Destabilizing Black Communities Nationwide. 'Black & Brownfolk' have been exposed as [willing] Agents of Destabilization in Our Communities; just like the CIA & Mossad 'Assets' exposed in Iran weeks before the (latest) American/ Israeli Assault. The Big Difference between Black America & the 'Global South', is We're a 'Minority Group' fighting Western Hegemony INSIDE The Belly of The Beast. Everyone Else, is situated in a Sovereign Nation where THEY are the Majority Population.

Unlike other Ethnic Groups, Black America doesn't have a History of targeting ANYONE. We are called 'Xenophobic' for calling others out on their Anti-Black sentiment, but NO ONE can bring up an example of Black Americans behaving like Ghanaians or South Afrikans; let alone Congolese or Sudanese. For the most part, We try to Live & let Live. Delineation started as a Survival Measure, but is now seen as a Godsend. We can CLEARLY see the Afrikan Union's Plan to make The Americas a '6th Region', & Black America reduced to a Vassal of The Continent. The Democratic Party & The Congressional Black Caucus specifically, are complicit in this. In fact, The CBC & Members of several 'Civil Rights' Organizations are scheduled to attend a Reparations Summit in Ghana that includes an 'Afrikan Juneteenth' Celebration(??!)

My initial response of Outrage was quelled, when I reminded Myself that Marcus Garvey aspired to be 'Emperor of Afrika'. I'm sure that played a role in Ethiopia & Liberia declining to grant him Safe Haven. Is it a stretch to think that Continental Afrikans may feel a certain way about Garvey & UNIA Members that promoted his 'Back To Afrika' Agenda? The 'Mosiah' was vainglorious to say the least. The Majority of his Members rejected a 'Return to Afrika', but applauded his commitment to Self Sufficiency. Is it possible that the Afrikan Union is simply returning the favor? Regardless of the motive, The U.S. Government saw an opportunity to 'Kill 2 Birds w/ 1 Stone'. They can ignore Our specific Reparations claim if they agree to pay a [smaller] Trans Atlantic claim, & compel Afrikan Nations to sign Mineral Rights Deals in return. We also have to take responsibility for Inviting 'distant relatives' that We knew little about into Our Home.

American Geopolitics over the last 100Yrs has been a departure from the 'Anglo Atlantic Alliance' & a steady climb to World Power Status. Past Presidents were able to play the game of 'Politics', which allowed Europe in particular to 'Save Face', while the U.S. went on a Global Domination Tour. Donald Trump's megalomania has pulled back the curtain & revealed what EVERYONE already knew. The U.S., is a Rogue Capitalist Republic that desires Global Primacy. The Key to this Agenda, is Domestic Primacy. It involves asserting Regional Dominance, & keeping Black America in Check. This explains Trump's Military Moves in Venezuela & Cuba. Despite 'stalemates' in Korea, Vietnam, & Afghanistan, American Culture still influences The Global Masses. Domestically, Blackfolk remain a steady force of resilience against American Hegemony. As the Moral & Cultural Spirit of The U.S., Black Americans have influence. The George Floyd Protests show that We have The World's attention.

As the Dominant Culture in America, We affect outcomes; whether We know it, or not. Donald Trump is using Our 'Exodus' from the Democratic Party, as an opportunity to do whatever he likes. The Democrats are too preoccupied, trying to shore up their shrinking numbers. Numerous Rallies & Protests haven't changed the Polls. Trump's overreach in the Levant/ Western Asia has tipped a delicate balance in the Global Economy. A 'Tactical Surrender' would prevent a potential Global Economic Crisis, & send a message that The U.S. acknowledges its limitations. A display of humility would save Tax Payers the 10's of Millions per Day that the Government is spending on blocking the Strait of Hormuz. It would end the uncomfortable trend of Economic Uncertainty, & give the U.S. Military a chance to assess & update their current Strategies of Engagement.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump is beholden to Miriam Adelson, Benjamin Netanyahu, & the Greater Israel Agenda. Ending the 'Conflict' with Iran will certainly include an ending of [ongoing] Israeli Aggression in Gaza, The West Bank, Lebanon, & Syria. Netanyahu faces possible jail time when he leaves Office, so he's motivated to keep Trump engaged. 'Greater Israel, or Bust' appears to be Netanyahu's Agenda. The backlash in America, is creating a Civil War within the Republican Party. Mainstream Media tells Us that it's Moderate Republicans versus the MAGA Contingent, but it looks more like MAGA versus Christian Zionists. Establishment Democrats support the Israeli Agenda, so they are as vulnerable as their GOP counterparts. The Ashkenazi Contingent is already calling Israel's growing unpopularity in Congress 'Anti- Semitic Behavior'... All of this makes for an interesting Midterm Election Season.

From an [Indigenous] Black American perspective, We're staying Out of This. We're getting Our House in Order, which starts with 'In House Cleaning'. We have too many People around Us who don't wish Us well, so We have to deal with them first. For some of these folks, their duplicity is coming Full Circle. They were duplicitous in their Home Country & fled; in America, they were subsidized to do the same to Us. Now, Chickens have come Home to Roost. These same folks say that We're being xenophobic, because We're targeting them more than Whitefolk. We're simply dealing with 'The Enemy from Within'. Our Actions have created a 'Ripple Effect' that has confounded the Democratic Party, while Republicans allow Donald Trump to run like a Bull in a China Shop.

Black America is laser focused on getting a Black Agenda & a Multigenerational Reparations Package on The Books. Society is dumbfounded by Our ability to get On Code in meaningful numbers. Black Immigrants in many cases, are as surprised as Everyone Else. Donald Trump's establishment of a $1.776B 'Anti Weaponization Fund' has created a minor panic, not because of the Jan. 6th Rioters that are believed to benefit from it; but from the prospect of Blackfolk being able to make Claims of Injustice. America's 'Melting Pot' may bicker among themselves, but they ALL AGREE that Black American Concerns are emotionally driven & overdramatized. The DNC's preoccupation with watering down Black Political Power in The Party, has them making overtures to THE SAME Hispanic/ Latino Voters that betrayed them in 2024.

In a nutshell, America is at a Crossroads. Donald Trump can follow Benjamin Netanyahu & resume attacks on Iran, which will likely mean The End of several Gulf State Nations (except Oman) & America's Military presence in the Region. It will also mean destruction of the Petrodollar. The Global Economic Depression that follows would be Trump's Legacy. The United States' geographic location makes it a difficult target for retaliation, but the Civil Unrest brought on by the resulting Energy Crisis will be enough to keep the Trump Administration busy. On the other hand, Trump may be convinced that Netanyahu CAN'T WIN. Several Geopolitical Experts have said Iran has the capability to make Israel uninhabitable. If Donald Trump can see a Zero Sum Gain in resuming Attacks, he may be more committed to finding a real solution to the Problem he created. A good sign, would be dispatching ANYONE other than Steve Witkoff & Jared Kushner to future Talks, & giving JD Vance power to negotiate in good faith.

Reports of Afrika Bambaataa's death caused a landslide of content & an ongoing debate w/i Black America. The Man is a globally recognized Architect of HipHop Culture; his contribution CANNOT be ignored. That said, the allegations of Child Molestation, & his court loss on Sex Trafficking Charges in Pennsylvania has done significant damage to Bambaataa's legacy. The advent of his death has brought deeper questions about HipHop Culture, Black Entertainers, & the overall effect of Celebrity behavior on Mainstream Society.

Content Creators like: Hassan Campbell, The Star Report, Willie D, & Dwann B have brought excellent questions to the Afrika Bambaataa conversation. While Bambaataa deserves credit for his contribution to HipHop Culture, he also deserves the spotlight for pushing the current Origin Story that places DJ Kool Herc, Himself, & Grand Master Flash as the 'Trinity' of the Culture. This narrative COMPLETELY IGNORES The Black Spades, Disco King Mario, Coke La Rock, & the DeeJays That came before them. In My Essay on HipHop's '50th'(?) Anniversary- I went into detail on WHO came before Kool Herc, Bam, & Flash. Grand Master Flash in particular comes across like he was divinely inspired, but doesn't mention the influence of Grand Wizard Theodore, or the fact that he carried Crates for the 'Master Plan Bunch'.

Many 'Old School' Rappers have been silent (to this point), but comments by Chuck D & KRS One have been heavily scrutinized. Chuck basically thanked Bambaataa for being an influence on him, & for helping him along the way. Chuck D went on to imply that Bambaataa's 'accomplishments' should be separated from his 'alleged' misgivings, & got COOKED! Chuck's original Post has since been deleted. KRS One also spoke on Bambaataa's death, & stressed Bam's importance to 'The Culture'. Kris went as far as saying that Our 'Leaders' should be exempt from criticism, & ALSO got Cooked! I don't know why, but hearing Chuck D & KRS One speak in accord, reminded Me of other times they 'Spoke on behalf of The Culture'.

The few 'Old Heads' speaking out about Afrika Bambaataa, are basically saying the same thing: 'Bam's sexual preference was an open secret in The Bronx, & probably the WORST KEPT SECRET in HipHop Culture'(???)... I have said many times over The Years that 'I don't recall EVER seeing Afrika Bambaataa (or Grand Master Flash for that matter) w/ a Woman, but I never knew that it was an 'Open Secret'. In retrospect, his Parties make more sense now. Bambaataa gets credit for Opening the Door to HipHop Culture, & taking it 'Downtown'. Puerto Rican Breakers, Punks, along w/ SoHo Artists & Designers were regulars at Bam's Events. As Children, We thought it was because Bam played Break Beats from different genres; now it looks more personal.

Content Creators have been laser focused on the accusations of Child Molestation, more than Bam's contribution to HipHop Culture. The initial discussion has expanded into a (long overdue) conversation on Molestation in the Black Community. In My 'New Year's Post', I pointed out that 2026 is a 'Year Of Manifestation'- a year when Things come to a Head. The Delineation Movement has reached the 'House Cleaning' phase, just in time for Spring. As We re-examine Our Culture, it's important to acknowledge the elements that need to be Weeded Out. We have to be honest about the bad habits that We picked up from Chattel Slavery & Integration w/ 'Black & Brown' Immigrant Groups.

Afrika Bambaataa is NOT the only figure in HipHop Culture w/ allegations of Child Molestation. Several Producers have been run through the Rumor Mill over the last 30+Yrs. We heard about the Hollywood Stories- from Shirley Temple to Roman Polanski, but the number of Black Celebrities facing rumors can't be ignored. Bambaataa's position as a [shamed] Cultural Icon has become an excellent starting point for a sober discussion about the State of Our Culture. What sets Black American Culture apart from Everyone Else, is Our ability to hold Ourselves accountable. We don't play semantics, or make excuses for bad behavior; We Own it.

The subject of Bambaataa's 'Legacy' is creating another conversation in the Black Community. Bam was the first person that I heard narrating the '1520 Sedgwick Avenue' Story of HipHop. Kool Herc was elevated above ALL of the DeeJays that came before him, & We were initially silent when Bam referred to Herc as: The'God Father' of HipHop. The Seeds of Doubt in this narrative were sowed by Kool Herc himself. Shortly after his 'coronation', Herc began to change his appearance. He no longer resembled Fred Williamson; now he resembled Peter Tosh. HipHop Heads in NYC took note, but We were doing Our 'Pan Afrikan Thang'. At that Time, We saw a kindred spirit in Our Jamaican Neighbors. We partied together & embraced the Culture, Food, & Music. We knew that Kool Herc was Jamaican, & didn't sweat his cultural expression.

Herc's luster began to fade when he bowed before U- Roy, & referred to him as: 'His King'. Kool Herc has been careful w/ his words ever since. The claims of Herc being 'The Foundation' aren't coming from him; they're coming from 3rd Generation Artists like: Pete Rock, Busta Rhymes, & Fat Joe. The deeper conversation w/i Bambaataa's 'Origin Story', is the prominence of Immigrants & the TOTAL ABSENCE of Indigenous Black Americans. Their [Collective] influence on The Culture has seen the transformation of B- Boys & B- Girls (like Gremlins), into Rude Boys, Ragamuffins, & Dancehall Girls. HipHop Music used to be something that you could play around your Parents & Elders; it created conversations between the Younger & Older Generations.

The Current manifestation, is just vulgar. Most of the Songs have more profanity than content. The lack of Content & Originality may be the reason why Current Artists are having problems filling Arenas. The integration of these 'Other Cultures' into HipHop, is why some are arrogantly claiming Ownership. Bambaataa heard the conversations, but he never tried to set The Record straight. The Current State of HipHop is Bam's 'Legacy'- it stands as a reflection of his Vision & his Deviance. As We continue these conversations on 'Culture' & being 'On Code', We have to pay attention to the Methods being used to infiltrate Us... I thought that HipHop's 1st Generation was the 'Golden Age', but in light of the contradictions of several HipHop Pioneers, I have a feeling that 'The Golden Age' hasn't happened yet.

-And THAT, is a Good Thing.

Is Operation 'Epic Fury' already an Epic Failure?

The U.S. & Israel have begun their Illegal War on Iran, & succeeded in killing the Supreme Leader- Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Mainstream Media says that the Ayatollah & his Inner Circle were caught unaware in the early hours of the U.S.- Israeli joint strike. Scott Ritter & other Geopolitical Experts believe Khamenei & his circle of Leaders KNEW what was coming. Ritter described the Ayatollah as an 86Yr Old Man in bad physical health (Stage 4 Cancer?). Khamenei stated that he didn't want to die a feeble Old Man; he wanted to die a Matyr. His Inner Circle knew that Iran was going to be struck. Ali Khamenei didn't run into a bunker like Benjamin Netanyahu, he stuck to his schedule & didn't hide his movements.

In the wake of his Martyrdom, Sunni & Shi'a Muslims appear to be coming together to honor the fallen Ayatollah & his Inner Circle as Heroes. Some say that Ali Khamenei will be compared w/ Qasem Soleimani or even Husayn ibn Ali. Donald Trump hinted that he has a Plan for Iran, but didn't want to go into details; It's common knowledge that the U.S- Israeli goal for Iran, is Regime Change. The current narrative involves installing the Son of the former Shah of Iran- [Prince] Reza Pahlavi, as the new Shah of a 'Democratic Republic of Iran'. Mainstream Media reports that Pahlavi has a following that is poised for his return to Power, but Geopolitical Experts all agree that he doesn't have much of a following in Iran, & those onboard are being financed by Mossad & the CIA.

Iran's 'Assembly of Experts' are tasked w/ selecting the next Supreme Leader. Ali Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei & Hassan Khomeini- the Grandson of (Iran's 1st Supreme Leader) Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, seem to be the frontrunners. Mojtaba Khamenei shares his father's philosophy, & is expected to continue Iran's current Nuclear Platform. Hassan Khomeini, is described as being more 'centrist' & open to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon for defensive purposes. All things being said & done, Ali Khamenei was not popular (before the '12 Day War'), & the idea of a son succeeding his father would set a precedent in the Islamic Republic of Iran. We also have to factor in public support for a Nuclear Weapon, following the 12 Day War. Khomeini's philosophy resonates more w/ Iranian Citizens.

Both Trump & Netanyahu were boastful about their joint illegal Act of War, but have downplayed the Iranian Response. Israel is being bombarded by 'wave after wave' of ballistic missiles. American Military Bases & their Host Nations throughout the Arabian Peninsula are also experiencing waves of bombardment. Trump warned of American casualties, but the Pentagon admits they were surprised by Iran's initial response. To be blunt, the U.S.- Israeli narrative of Iran is ridiculously flawed. They are enacting a game plan that affords them to 'hit it & quit'; Trump says that he expects his Operation to last 4- 5 Weeks. The Interim Iranian Government says that they are prepared to go on for Years- 'the Air Sirens & regret making Strikes will not stop'.

Geopolitical Experts- from Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, & Jeffrey Sachs, to Larry Wilkerson, John Mearsheimer, & Vijay Prashad are collectively laughing at the U.S. Government. They say that Trump & his Cabinet are stuck in the 20th Century. The U.S. has been 'Big Man On Campus' for 80Yrs, & behaved like the School Yard Bully throughout. Iran, is that Child who was bullied through Elementary & Junior High School; now he's a H.S. Freshman, who plays Defensive Lineman on the Junior Varsity Football Team. He no longer fears the blows that the Bully dishes out, but wonders if that Bully can handle what HE dishes out. The Global South, remind me of the others being bullied; I imagine that they may also wonder if Iran can back the Bully up.

The Trump Administration is already caught in a Crisis of Accountability. The MAGA Minions aren't happy w/ this 'Operation'. Folks like Marjorie Taylor Green & Nick Fuentes have joined Democrats in questioning Donald Trump's legal right to start a War w/o an Act of Congress. The U.S. launched the 1st Strike, while Jared Kushner & Steve Witkoff were negotiating w/ Iran in Geneva. Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi said they were 'close to reaching an Agreement' less than 24 hours before the Attack. Geopolitical Analyst, Patrick Henningsen remarked: 'The Missiles beat the Iranian Delegation back from Geneva'. When questioned about the 1st Strike, Marco Rubio replied: 'We knew that Israel was going to strike 1st, & We didn't want to wait for Iran to strike Us in retaliation'.

It doesn't take much head scratching to conclude that this illegal attack on a Sovereign Nation, is nothing more than a distraction. Donald Trump & his cronies cannot escape their association w/ Jeffrey Epstein. We understand Benjamin Netanyahu's motivation for attacking Iran, but it's a Zero Sum Gain for the U.S. to get involved. At best, engaging Iran will necessitate redeployment of necessary vessels & equipment from vital positions. Another issue, is Ordinance. Donald Trump spoke of a 4- 5 Week engagement, but Geopolitical Experts are in agreement that Israel & Ukraine have depleted U.S. stockpiles. Pete Hegseth has a less than 4 Week supply of missiles. Meanwhile, the Iranians have been able to inflict consistent damage on Every Nation that hosts a U.S. Military Base. Hezbollah, Ansar Allah, & Shi'a Rebels in Iraq have sided w/ Iran; Collectively, they are compounding the damage & economic uncertainty in the Region.

It is rumored that the U.S. reached out to the Transitional Iranian Government, to begin Peace Talks. The Iranians were in negotiations w/ the U.S. when they were assaulted by 'Operation Midnight Hammer' (The 12 Day War), & again w/ 'Epic Fury'; did ANYONE expect Iran to fall for the [fake] Olive Branch a third time? Iran has become immune to the assassination of their Leaders & Scientists; Prof. Sayed Marandi has done several interviews from Tehran- he says that Iran's Underground Military Bunkers are intact, & Iran's ability to launch Missile Strikes remain undeterred. Iran seems intent on inflicting Real Pain on EVERYONE INVOLVED in the attack on their Sovereignty. Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will have real consequences! The Effect on the World Economy can't be ignored. We heard about China's (heavy) reliance on Iranian Oil, but India is also dependent on regular shipments from Iran.

While the Masses follow the Mainstream Media narrative, few are looking at the moving parts (beyond Iranian Oil) that may have motivated Trump's preemptive strike:

Rumors of an 'Islamic NATO' predicated on adding Turkey to the current 'Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement' between Saudi Arabia & Pakistan.

A growing movement amongst BRICS- Plus Nations to prop up a Member Nation's currency to replace the American Dollar as the World's Reserve Currency.

Iran's example to the Global South as a defiant Nation that refuses to crumble under sanctions imposed by Israel, the U.S., & E.U.

Donald Trump's commitment to Zionism & the Greater Israel Agenda.

The Trump Administration already had a growing internal conflict between Christian Zionists & MAGA Minions; this unsanctioned Act of Aggression against Iran during ongoing Nuclear Talks only added gas to the fire. Trump promised: 'No more Regime Change Wars'. He also promised to 'Make America Affordable Again'. So far, We have seen Billions go to Ukraine, Israel, & the Military Industrial Complex; while We have to fight to receive Federal Funding already allocated to Infrastructure Projects under Biden's 'Build Back Better' Legislation. Trump's biggest mistake, may have been exposing America's duplicitous & dishonorable nature in front of The World. He sent Jared Kushner & Steve Witkoff (both hardcore Zionists) to negotiate w/ Iran, in good faith; meanwhile, they were using these 'Talks' to set Iran up for another Joint Strike. The U.S. is now seen as a Rogue Aggressor Nation. Scott Ritter has repeated on several Platforms: 'America lost this War, the moment they launched the 1st 6 Missiles at Ali Khamenei'.

The Trump Administration has effectively ENDED the U.S. Military presence in Arabia & Western Asia. Donald Trump will be lucky to be a Lame Duck President after this.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's passing is a Watershed Moment in Black American History.

He represented the 'Legacy' of the Civil Rights Movement & EVERYTHING that followed the Passing of Our Righteous Warriors of the Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Jesse has a documented list of accomplishments that can't B refuted, but he's also credited w/ Our reclassification as 'Afrikan Americans', & the schism that it created. Unlike MLK, Jesse Jackson turned a blind eye as he integrated Us DEEPER into that 'Burning House'.

It's fitting that The Most High let Jesse see Our Efforts 2 correct the missteps of his Legacy, b4 Calling him Home. The 'New Day' is upon Us! The Rising Sun brings a Rising Consciousness (Frequency) among Indigenous Black Americans. We R NOT the Civil Rights Generation. The Ancestors R the Wind in Our Sails, so We R UNAPOLOGETIC about Our Agenda. We're picking up where MLK left off- We R paving a Road 2 Washington, D.C. 2 'Get Our Check'!

-Rest In Peace Jesse, We got it from here!

Phil Scott made a great point:

If Joe Biden kept his Word 2 Black America & passed the 'George Floyd Justice In Policing Act', the tragedy of Renee Good's death would look very different.

Mainstream Media went out of their way 2 discredit George Floyd & deem him not important enuf 2 B The Face of 'Police Reform'. The Man offered little 2 no resistance 2 Derek Chauvin, but he became the Villain of The Story. Philando Castile was killed while exercising his 2nd Amendment Right (in front of his Woman & Baby), but the NRA stayed SILENT. We told EVERYONE: The Pendulum swings BOTH WAYS- what affects Us, WILL affect U, but We were largely ignored.

Now that [Indigenous] Black America has delineated from Mainstream Society, Folks R starting 2 realize that 'America' is actually 'AmeriKKKa'. Now, Themfolks want 2 compare Renee Good 2 George Floyd- in an effort 2 get Black bodies in the Streets. In truth, Renee Good doesn't compare w/ Heather Heyer. Meanwhile, Mainstream Media remains silent about Keith Porter, who was killed by an Off Duty ICE Agent in Los Angeles back on New Year's Day... Blackfolk AREN'T coming out 2 defend a Woman who tried 2 exercise her 'White Privilege' in defense of Illegal Immigration.

Despite Mainstream Media Reports saying that Renee Good was simply dropping her children off @ School, different camera angles, along w/ the ICE Agent's Body Cam show Renee being the aggressor, while her Wife antagonized Agents & urged her 2 drive away. Liberals R crying foul, but Blackfolk KNOW not 2 make ANY 'sudden moves' when being detained. An Agent was asking her to step out her vehicle, while another (mysteriously) stood in front of the vehicle. When U factor in that ICE Agent's previous incident- where he was dragged by a Suspect & needed 33 stitches, the Story becomes more tragic.

Ultimately, America has 2 decide what's more important- a Society that locks Black America out of Real Opportunities & stagnates Our Right of Expression (as Citizens), or a Society that actually strives 2 espouse the Values written in the U.S. Constitution? Understand that choosing 'A' means that U will ALSO B subject 2 the Oppression Tactics used on Black Americans, when U go against the 'National Agenda'. As We keep saying: The Pendulum swings Both Ways; We have 250Yrs of Experience dealing w/ 'Americanism'. We have been subjected 2 EVERYTHING they could imagine & We're STILL HERE! Will U fare as well?

Did Fat Joe show his Whole Hand?

Safe to say that Jose Cartagena has been an outspoken HipHop Revisionist. In recent Years, Joe along w/ John Leguizamo & Crazy Legs have been offering their narrative on who created HipHop Music & Culture. The Pioneers have stepped to the Mic & set The Record straight on WHAT happened, WHEN it happened, & WHO was there. Fat Joe, like KRS One is caught in a contradiction. Kris is actually 'Of The Culture', so he has a Lane available to say: mea culpa & come back into the Fold. Joe on the other hand, didn't respect his place as a Guest in the House of HipHop- as a result, he's getting his privileges revoked. I appreciate the degree that Joe chose to Stand on his Square, because it reminded many of Us of previous Bad Behavior.

In his Barbershop interview w/ Math Hoffa, Fat Joe had a few cringe moments. He disrespected Lord Jamar by saying that he was a 'Looney Tune looking to go viral', & called him the 'wackest member of Brand Nubian'. That said, his most cringe worthy statement had to be referring to FBA as a 'Radical Black Hate Group' that only wants to associate w/ their Own. He defined FBA as: 'Foundational Black Authority', & called Our Lineage 'a bunch of broke N-s'... Black Alpha, Lord Jamar, Phil Scott, & Jason Black were among the first to respond; All pointed out his White Supremacist Talking Points. If we're being honest, Joe sounded like a straight up Conquistador.

As We come to the End of Our 'Year Of Affirmation', We find Ourselves Standing firmly on Our Convictions & calling out ANYONE that questions them. Fat Joe, like many others who were allowed access into Our Culture are discovering an unexpected Reality- Houseguests don't get House keys. These Folks have been given so many passes over so many Years, that they actually believe that they KNOW Us. This is the same Story, from Michael Rappaport to Drake & Cardi B. Fat Joe's tantrum was ill timed; Our Collective Antennas were up, & Everyone heard the same language. Black Alpha in particular, pointed out how Joe wasn't even talking about HipHop anymore... This thing has many layers.

We all see that this attitude towards Indigenous Black Americans is nothing new. We know the History of the Immigrant Experience in America; the Ethnicity changes, but their actions are too similar to just be a coincidence. We saw it w/ the Irish, Italian, & Eastern European (Slav & Askenazi); now We see it w/ 'Black & Brown' Immigrants. The Black- Latino Dynamic is complicated, because Hispanic/ Latino Culture is rooted in Colorism (Blanqueamiento). Their Society is divided by how close one is to their 'Castilian Roots'. How does someone aspire to Whiteness in an Area where folks are 'Black & Proud'? When We look at Latin American Leaders like Fidel Castro & Hugo Chavez, who touted their Afrikan Roots & included Afro- Latinos in the Body Politic, We see how they were demonized as Bad Men.

ALL of their predecessors kept the Afro- Cuban & Afro- Venezuelan Population in a State of Poverty & Oppression. It's clear that the 'Blanco' contingent preferred the leadership of Fulgencio Batista (Zaldivar), Ramon Jose Velasquez, & Rafael Caldera Rodriguez. We need to look no further than Miami, where folks like Gloria Estefan are STILL lamenting the Cuban Revolution. Fat Joe glossed over 'Radical Puerto Rican Extremists' as he focused on FBA, but can We call it 'Extremist Behavior' when The Majority of The Population practices it at Home, & bring it w/ them when they Immigrate Here? Black People aren't respected in Hispanic/ Latino Culture, they're victimized. Latino Police Officers can be more Anti- Black than Irish & Italian Officers; certainly more aggressive towards Blackfolk. Again, Joe is silent on this Note.

As I said, this thing has layers. In the same way that Great Britain left the door open for America to step in & assume the role of Dominant World Power; AmeriKKKa is leaving the door open for Hispanics/ Latinos to hold the reins of Power over Black America- as long as they acknowledge their Position in White Supremacy. In the same manner that Whitefolk & Azkenazis assumed Ownership of Jazz, Big Band, Country, & Rock N Roll; Latinos think that they can assume Ownership of HipHop. They were successful in taking 'Tango' from the Afro- Argentinians that created 'The Forbidden Dance', but We're a Lineage of Fighters! If we're being honest, We have to acknowledge how the Latino influence on HipHop has done more harm than good. Stand Outs, like Mantronix & Immortal Technique are revered as Legends in The Game. Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud also deserve an honorable mention. Now I could be wrong, but I haven't heard ANY of them side w/ Fat Joe.

Joe has been on many Platforms trying to push his narrative. He has emboldened other Puerto Ricans (Nuyoricans) to chime in on 'Out Of State' Cats speaking on something that started in NYC. Content Creators point out how HipHop may have been BORN in NYC, but was CONCEIVED in The South. Jason Black & Black Alpha point out the cultural differences between Us & Non ADOS/ FBA Communities, & how little they know about Our Lineage. First off, the Slave Experience in AmeriKKKa affected Us differently than it did those in Latin America & the Caribbean. While they exhibit Tribalism & Colorism, We exhibit Unity. From the East Coast to the West Coast, & from the Great Lakes to the Gulf- Blackfolk are an Extended Family. Those of Us in the Northeast & Out West tout Our Southern Roots like a Badge of Honor. We are the Descendants of those who survived AmeriKKKa's Killing Fields. Immigrants don't have that experience, & therefore can't truly understand what motivates Us Culturally.

Another clear cultural difference between Us & Non ADOS/ FBA Ethnicities, is how We deal w/ White Supremacy. We have a Global Reputation of fighting White Supremacy, no matter where it exists. As a Collective, Immigrant Groups tend to be Anglophiles; They aspire to Whiteness. They 'Get In where they Fit In', & that classically means harboring Anti- Black Sentiment. Fat Joe & Busta Rhymes aren't exceptions, but typical examples of how these people move. They Rock w/ Us- copying Our 'cultural mannerisms', until they get a 'Come Up'; then they shift to White Supremacist Talking Points & Anti-Black Sentiment. Busta thought he 'Made It', & began an onslaught of disrespectful opinions regarding Black America. He began w/ disenfranchising Blackfolk from HipHop, & went on to say that 'American Culture' comes from Latin America & The Caribbean. The Man had a much anticipated World Tour scheduled, but the backlash from ADOS/ FBA has led to Investors pulling out & the Tour being Canceled. This Tour was supposed to solidify Busta's Legacy, but he's been reduced to doing a wacky Walmart Commercial... Safe to say that he made a misstep.

As bad as Busta has been, Fat Joe has been worse. He admits that he's "the product of The Product", but somehow believes that he knows about Events that happened before he was born. His arrogance has revealed an Anti- Black Racist sentiment that is pretty common among his people. Content Creators have pointed out Joe's excessive use of The N- Word, & how he ignored pleas from his Fans to stop using it. As a Native New Yorker who spent his Formidable Years in Spanish Harlem, then lived in Bushwick for 4Yrs & Inwood for 5Yrs- I can say w/ certainty that NO ONE uses the N- Word more than Hispanics/ Latinos. Dominicans top The List, but Puerto Ricans & Cubans aren't far behind them. Caribbean Folk are also pretty frequent w/ their use of the N- Word; is it a coincidence that many of the Rappers spewing this word aren't from 'The Soil''? Regardless, what We are witnessing, is a clear effect of Delineation. As We Circle Our Wagons, the Opportunists (i.e. Tethers) are getting nervous. They depend on Us believing in 'Coalitions' that benefit them to Our detriment. Times have Changed! These folks no longer have Us to lean on for Financial, Social, or Political Support. Since these people believe they're Superior to Us, they should have No Problem w/ Going it Alone in the 'Wilderness of North America'.

-As I said before, They better get used to The New Normal.

What does being 'Black' really mean?

I have thought about this for a long time. Over the years, I spoke w/ Moors, Israelites, Indigenous, & Pan Afrikans about 'Blackness' & what it means to them. I also looked at Separate but Equal (Jim Crow) Laws, The Black Codes, The Fugitive Slave Act, Dred Scott, & related documents dating back to the Colonial Era. Writing on this Subject was always in the back of My Mind, but now I feel compelled to give an opinion. Dane Calloway & Yvette Carnell don't agree on much, but they're both in agreement about 'Blackness in America'; their perspectives intrigued Me. Cam'ron's Declaration of Blackness, followed by responses from Marc Lamont Hill & Umar Johnson inspired Me to chime in on the Subject.

Recently, Dane Calloway & Yvette Carnell both went into detail about 'Blackness' on their individual Channels. Both have expressed their view in the past, but the timing of their latest opinions caught My attention. They essentially agree that this 'designation' refers to a Bottom Caste status that sets Us up for Social Inequality as a Collective. They also agree that identifying as 'Black American' only clouds Our identity as a Lineage Group. The denial of (promised) resources to 'Black' Farmers, & the repeal of Affirmative Action on College Campuses were both done in the name of 'Race Neutrality'. Apparently, Whitefolk & Brownfolk thought that these (long overdue) measures offered too much(?)

I was still digesting Dane & Yvette's perspective, when Cam'ron declared that he prefers being called 'Black' over Afrikan American, citing a schism between Black Americans & Continental Afrikans. This prompted Dr. Marc Lamont Hill & Dr. Umar Johnson to respond- in the name of Pan Afrikanism. Over the last 5Yrs, Pan Afrikans have been very vocal about Reparations & who should be entitled. Groups like N'COBRA, NAARC, The NAACP, & The Urban League have pushed for Trans Atlantic based Reparations; but they favor Social Programs over cash payments. Grassroots Organizations like the ADOS Advocacy Foundation, stress the need for cash payments to American Descendants Of Chattel Slavery.

It's curious how the same U.S. Constitution that used Our skin color to classify Us as 3/5ths of Humanity, still uses Our skin color as a 'Racial identity' to restrict Our access to resources. Somehow, this skin color classification doesn't stop 'Minority Groups' (i.e. White Women, White LGBTQ..., Azkenazis, People Of Color [POC/ BIPOC]) from getting the resources that They want & need. Maybe it's just Me, but I see a double standard playing out. Edward Blum & his 'Minority Coalition' are hell bent on weaponizing Race as a means of maintaining Black Oppression. He recently resorted to applying the Civil Rights Law of 1866 against Black Women; meanwhile, ADOS was unsuccessful in their attempt to apply the Same Law to (naively?) support Byron Allen's Case against Comcast Communications.

I understand where Family is coming from, when they refer to dictionary definitions of 'Black'. In a 'White' Society, Blackness is depicted as antithetical. It's not unusual, when we consider the way Afrikan Tribes associate 'Whiteness' w/ Death & Disease (i.e. Leprosy). Historically, this attitude towards Blackness goes back to Our 1st Contact w/ Northern/ Step Europeans (Vikings, Scandanavians, ect...) who traditionally burned their dead. Our mummification process spooked them! Those bodies took on a dark hue, & hardened into a crystal like structure; the Europeans called it a 'Crust'. From this, came the word 'Curse'. The Europeans migrated south into Western Asia & transported their ideology w/ them. This fear of Black Mummies was shared w/ Mongolians & other Indo- European Tribes, like the Turks & Huns. In the same way that Afrikans came to associate Whiteness negatively, the Asiatics came to associate Blackness similarly. Today, We STILL hear Koreans, Japanese, & Chinese refer to a 'Black Devil'.

The modern regard for Blackness is a Social Construct created by 15th Century Castilians & Portugese. These beliefs were sanctioned by the Catholic Church, by way of Papal Bulls & adopted by Dutch, English, & French Colonizers. That's not to say Anti Black sentiment didn't exist; Maimonides (Musa Ibn Maimon) wrote 'The Curse of Ham' centuries earlier... Spain, Portugal, & Italy appeared tired of Moorish Rule, & took advantage of the waning years of their influence. Current Reparations discussions have included the prominence of Afrikan Slave Trading, & how Afrikan Kingdoms, like Mali & Kongo actually traded Slaves w/ Europeans; until they were also Colonized. Afrikan Kingdoms became dependent on the profits, decadent lifestyle, & overall efficacy of trading away their 'enemies'. They didn't concern themselves w/ Europe's intentions for these people.

European Colonizers told themselves that they were 'On a Mission' to Christianize the heathens. I don't know what THAT had to do w/ raping & pillaging Societies in 'The Americas' (Amaru Ca/ Turtle Island/ Atlantis). In 'Capitalism & Slavery' Eric Williams explains how Europeans rationalized their barbarism to offset the guilt of violating fellow Human Beings. The Fruits of Exploration clouded the moral judgement of Many. Thinking Men, like Samuel George Morton began to concoct a number of Theories (Religious & Scientific) to condone their actions. It wasn't limited to Afrika or The Americas; ANY non- Christian was a potential target. Truth be told, Latin America had more Slaves coming from The Pacific, than The Atlantic. Many of the Illegal Immigrants that (so called) Native Americans in The Dakotas are calling 'Indigenous People', are descendants of 'Negritos' transported from The Philippines & the South Pacific Islands. Spanish & Portugese Conquistadors adopted Colorism from the Arabs, & used it as a tool for Divide & Conquer (Blanqueamiento/ Branqueamiento).

The Portugese & Spanish brought Colorism to the (so called) New World, but it was The English who refined it into the System of Racism. Benjamin Franklin was credited w/ using the term 'White' in 1751, but Black Codes were already in play for decades. Bacon's Rebellion of 1675- 1676 resulted in 'Racial' (Chattel) Slavery in Virginia. White Indentured Servants that were treated no differently than their Black counterparts, were elevated to Overseers & Slave Hunters; later to become Militiamen & Police Officers. Legally, 'White' represented the Wealthy Class of Land Owners & Bankers (Gentlemen of Property & Standing). 'Black' represented Indigenous Americans- Free & Enslaved; Poor Whites were stuck in the middle. The Lessons of Bacon's Rebellion brought Laws that ensured that the average White Person had a better lifestyle than the average Black Person. This is the crux of 'White Privilege'.

Dictionaries define 'Whiteness' as: Fair & Pure. 'Blackness' is defined as: Ugly & Evil. All of this helped perpetuate Indigenous/ Aboriginal People as inferior to the European. The 1790 Census brought the first reclassification of American Indians to 'Negro' & 'Colored'. This reclassification continued w/ each subsequent Census. Census Enumerators were not just instructed, but encouraged to use their personal judgement when making Racial Assignments; particularly when making classifications of Negro & Colored. In 1924, Dr. Walter A. Plecker pushed 'The (Preservation of) Racial Integrity Act' in Virginia. This Act sought to reclassify ALL Indigenous People in Virginia as Colored or Negro, & penalized them (w/ violence or death). The 'One Drop Rule' was added in 1930. The Census completed it's reclassification w/ designations of 'Black' in 1970, & 'Afrikan American'(?) in 1990... Chris Rock once joked: "Have you ever seen an American Indian Family in an IHOP?" He probably didn't know that depending on which IHOP, he may have been SURROUNDED by them!

The U.S. Government has been persistent in their efforts to erase America's 'Copper- toned Aborigines'. In addition to Local, State, & Federal Laws designed to keep Us out of contention, they also used Anthropology to prove the inferiority of Indigenous People, compared to Europeans. W.E.B. Du Bois countered, w/ the help of Franz Boas & a new generation of Anthropologists. Melville Herskovits, like Boas contributed to the Anti Black counter narrative; playing a role in setting up the Harlem History Club at the 135th Street YMCA. This is the same Club that inspired Kwame N'Krumah & Ho Chi Minh... Since 1990, (Indigenous) Black Americans have been on a Pan Afrikan Crusade that sought to embrace EVERY melanated individual as 'Black'. Haitians, Dominicans, Columbians, Somalis & Nigerians have been very vocal about NOT being Black; they're right! Family thinks that they either want to be White, or at least avoid the negativity associated w/ Blackness. Regardless of their reason, they have a Right Of Expression.

History has been purposely skewed, to prop up self righteous White Men & their Female cohorts (WASPs) over Everyone Else. Their advanced weaponry & barbarism has motivated many to fall in line w/ the Western Agenda over the last 500 Years, but Indigenous/ Black Americans have been fighting them every step of the way. Despite the effort to "Kill the Indian & keep The Man", We continued to search for Our Truth. 100Yrs ago, that led Us into an extensive search on the Afrikan Continent. DuBois, Boas, & Herskovits ALL espoused Out of Afrika Theory; & in some shape or form, molded the Minds of many of Our Master Teachers & Scholars. Their search for Roots in Afrika (Alkebu- Lan) was a noble & fruitful endeavor. As Students, We learned of glorious Civilizations that predated Europe, Rome, & Greece by several millennia. We learned that The Kamau, Nubian, & Kushite referred to themselves as 'Black People'. They were the 'Children of The Sun'- Blessed by The Most High w/ Blackness (Melanin/ Ka Nu). The 'Afu Ra Ka Nu' & 'Afu Rat Kat Nut' are the First Born of The Most High; molded out of Primordial Blackness (CERN calls it: The 'God Particle') & assigned as Caretakers of Planet Earth (Geb). In a Nation that marginalizes the very Concept of Blackness, We were inspired to shout: "I'm Black & I'm Proud!".

Today We live in The Information Age, & as such, Our Generation(s) have access to sources that few of Our Elders had. As We put the pieces together, We discover that:

North America had a population of roughly 100 Million Indigenous People when the Colonizers arrived 500Yrs ago.

These People had highly functional Matrilineal Societies that existed for millennia.

They traded w/ The Moors & other Afrikan Kingdoms for Centuries, & They spoke the Lingua Franca.

They have a Legacy of Brick Making & Mound Building. Billy Carson & Walter Williams both say that Our Indigenous Ancestors have a direct connection to the Kamau. Archeological digs in Southern Illinois & Ohio uncovered Kamitic Ritual material & Pre Phoenician 'Proto- Hebraic Script' among the artifacts. Quiet as it's kept, North America has a plethora of Mounds & Pyramids; St. Louis is nicknamed 'Mound City'.

ALL of the European visitors admitted the 'Copper- toned Aborigines' or Indios practiced a higher Culture than ANY Culture in Europe.

Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, John Hancock, et al were students of Indigenous American Culture. They adopted the Articles Of Confederacy & The U.S. Constitution from the existing Confederacy Of The 5 Nations (The Iroquois Constitution), written around 1200 A.C.E... The Iroquois are the True Founders of the 'American Democratic Experiment'. Remember, ALL of the European Colonizers hailed from Monarchies, so it stands to reason...

The possibility of transporting 12 Million Afrikans to North America from 1619- 1865 is highly improbable. Dane Calloway already broke down the logistics of Trans Atlantic Shipping, & personally compelled The State of Virginia to reduce their 'Afrikan Slave' count by more than 90%. Depending on who you talk to, the number of 'Afrikans' transported to North America ranges from 90,000- 300,000 individuals. At best, this accounts for less than 10% of the 4 Million Individuals that were emancipated. The 20 Young Women that arrived at Point Comfort in 1619, were originally called 'Negresses', not Afrikans. American Indians were called Negroes almost interchangeably.

Dane Calloway, Kurimeo Ahau, & The Research Guy have all pointed out how Europeans transported North American Indians to 'Slave Seasoning' (Buck Breaking) Camps in The Caribbean. Afterwards, they were either shipped back to America, or transported to Europe, & later West Afrika; from Sierra Leone, to Angola. The English & French used Caribbean Maroons in their assault on Afrikan Kingdoms.

All of this new information about Our Ancestors has led many to revisit their Family Genealogy. Many of Us recall a Story or two about the Family connection to a particular Tribe. I personally can't remember hearing an Afrikan Origin Story, before the airing of Alex Haley's 'Roots'. My family taught Us about Our Indian Roots; We don't have a Slave Ship Story in Our History. Most of the Blackfolk claiming Afrikan Tribes, have taken so called Genetic Swab Tests that are advertised as 'Entertainment'. Black Historians & Genealogists, like Dr. Henry Louis Gates have refuted the accuracy of these 'Tests' for years. NO ONE can determine their ancestry from a mouth swab; you need the actual DNA of an Ancestor to make an accurate analysis. Most people don't know that their genetic material is being held (& utilized) by proponents of the [Mormon] Church Of Latter Day Saints. The largest Genealogy Library on Earth, is in Salt Lake City, Ut.

As We put the pieces together, We can clearly see the ongoing process of Colonization. AmeriKKKa cannot be as bold as Israel in their removal of Indigenous Black Americans, so The U.S. Government uses a trickbag of classifications & legislative measures to keep Blackfolk in a state of 'Arrested Development'. They hope that We 'migrate' to Afrika, but most of Us can't afford to visit; let alone relocate. Meanwhile, The Government continues to Flood the Zone w/ immigrants (for 175Yrs & counting). The Mainstream Media speaks about Venezuelan 'migrants' daily, but We hear nothing about the 100,000 Afghani & 100,000 Ukrainian immigrants they prepared for. These people are literally White on arrival. If illegal Venezuelans are getting 5 Star treatment, what are these folk getting?

I felt obligated to go in-depth on this topic, because so many cling to a definition created by Colonizers & Oppressors. How does someone define themselves using the language of their Oppressor? It's the same as someone saying: "A N-- like me", or "A B-- like me". We have been programmed into accepting a wretched (ratchet) image of Ourselves. Some of the people refusing to use the term 'Black', have No Problem referring to themselves as 'N--s' & 'B--s'. I question their logic. Richard Pryor said 40Yrs ago, in 'Here & Now' that he was wrong about using The N- Word. He went on to say that it was a Word that describes Our Wretchedness. He vowed never to use that Word again, but since his declaration, there has been an explosion of 'N-- Comics' over the last 40Yrs. Use of The N- Word is more prevalent than wearing that dress, but few talk about this particular assault on Our Culture. Is it just a coincidence that many of these N- Comics have 'funny looking Wives', as Katt Williams described them?

The lion's share of Our Master Teachers & Scholars were literally spoon-fed Out Of Afrika Theory, so We were primed for Pan Afrikanism. Marcus Garvey was actually 'fishing in a barrel' on those Harlem Streets. This isn't a bad thing in itself. Our Problem has been giving Our 'Cousins' too much access to Our Cultural Mores. Many of the Celebrities, Athletes, & Entertainers being spotlighted & engaging in miscegenation, are descendants of Black Immigrants. They're the Same Ones misrepresenting Our Culture, while telling Us that We're 'Culturally Lost'. Like Hindi/ Bangladeshi/ & Pakistani/ Americans, these folk are situational about their Blackness. They relish being 'Afrikan American' when it's profitable, but are quick to remind you of their Nationality (in a thick accent) when it isn't... It's time to delineate. EVERY melanated group has an identifiable lineage, except Black America. We had a clear identity, until We allowed Jesse Jackson to reclassify Us as 'Afrikan American'. To quote Dane Calloway: "We're named after 2 Continents". Now We're being amalgamated into an 'Afrikan/ Black Diaspora' that is looking to fleece Us like Everyone Else. Most of these folks are 'Black' Capitalists looking for a quick buck. The commercialization of Kwanzaa is a prime example. Our argument for Lineage Based Reparations has revealed this well kept secret.

The (current) Reparations discussion has brought important issues to the conversation. ADOS, FBA, Freedmen, & Indigenous Family all agree that We're a specific Lineage Group w/ a specific Experience. No other group has endured what We have endured in America. Some Black Immigrants make a valid point that They have endured over 100Yrs of White Supremacy in America; few admit that They also had more autonomy & opportunity than We had. Many of the 'First Faces' that We tout, aren't Us, but Our Cousins. Colin Powell, Eric Holder, & Susan Rice aren't just descendants of Immigrants, they're also Cousins! Barack Obama was Harvard's 1st Black Law Review Editor & Claudine Gay was their 1st Black President, but NEITHER have Indigenous Black Roots. BOTH have more in common w/ the descendants of Slave Holders, than those Enslaved on Harvard's properties. We have far too many of their Faces in Our Spaces. 'Afrikan American' is not working for Us. It skews perspectives regarding Wealth & Inequality, while rewarding newcomers for their 'proximity to Blackness'.

I have to go back to The Black Power Movement, to get a clear understanding of what Blackness truly means. During that Era, 'Blackness' was an American Phenomenon that was Globally acknowledged. No One else said: 'I'm Black & I'm Proud' w/ as much authority. John Carlos & Tommie Smith proudly threw up their Black fists, knowing they would pay a price. Muhammad Ali lost his Prime Boxing Years to make a point. The Culture of Blackness permeated Music & Cinema; We were doing Our Thing, Our Way. The Culture was distinctly Ours. It WAS a Black Thang, & No One understood it; but EVERYONE respected it. As We travelled The World, We were called Soul Brothers & Soul Sisters, but most called Us Black American. We have a distinct Pedigree. The World knows WHO We are. If we're being honest, Black Culture & Music was generally more respectable before 1990, when We became 'Afrikan American'. Hollywood has been denigrating Us since 'Birth Of A Nation', but their images contradicted who We are. We're a Righteous & Noble People. Our Love of Our Collective progeny is unrivaled. The Slave Experience stripped Us of Our individual lineage, but it also eliminated any Tribalism. Indigenous Black Americans- from New York to Oakland, & from Detroit to Houston refer to each other as: 'Family from...' We compete against each other, & toss The Dozens; but when it's time to Put in The Work- We're ALL On Code.

I laugh at this notion of 'Race Neutrality'. What exactly is meant by Race? Chief Justice John Roberts & Justice Clarence Thomas both lean on this term pretty heavily, but how? Black, White, Asian, & Latinx aren't Racial Groups, they're Socio- Demographic Classifications. Every Middle School Student has learned by 8th Grade of 3 Races: Negroid, Mongoloid, & Caucasoid. This 'Racial Re- tread' only seems to affect Indigenous Black Americans/ Copper-toned Aborigines on the basis of Our skin color. Everyone Else, including Black Immigrants have a Right of Expression under the current demographic structure. This is the Same System that holds Black America stagnant at 13% of the population since Emancipation, while bringing Ethnic Europeans (Caucasians, Catholics) & Asians under the umbrella of Whiteness; to offset the declining birth rate in their demographic. The Biden Administration has implied the same thing is being done w/ Latinx. I STILL ask: What is a 'Latino/ Hispanic'- are they a specific Nationality? No, they're a Socially Engineered Group (Buffer Class) created to marginalize the Indigenous Black American Population. Our Collective, is not a grouping of different Ethnicities & Nationalities under a particular demographic- We're One Nationality. As We search for a uniform description of Our specific Lineage Group, 'Black American' is a No Brainer... Cam'ron is correct.

'Black American' actually describes a specific Ethnic Group w/ a specific Culture & Experience that NO OTHER GROUP can tout. It describes a Group of People in a specific Region, not a (Global) Racial Group. We are as distinct, as Australian Aborigines. Other than Our Cousins- the 'Black Brits', melanated People tend to describe themselves Tribally or Nationally. They only identify as 'Black', when they Come to America. Meanwhile, Native (Siberian) Americans have used the Dawes Rolls to appropriate Our Ancestral [Tribal] Identity, forcing Us to Collectively reestablish Ourselves from scratch. Indigenous, Aboriginal, or American Indian describes Our connection to The Land. The Blood & Bones of Our Ancestors are buried Here, not in Afrika. Black American, describes who We are today. It defines Us as a unique Nationality. This description makes it easier for Us to point out Centuries of legislative policy crafted & used against Us as a specific Lineage Group. 'Afrikan American', is a monolithic classification that ignores the diverse Cultural experiences & Tribalism of the Collective. Ultimately, Our Name may change, but The Culture stays the Same.

In a nutshell, Black American IS Our Tribal Identity. We're World renowned for Standing Out & Standing Our Ground, & NO ONE does it better. As Professor Black Truth puts it: 'We create Icons'.

-Just making My Case

What's REALLY going on in Southern California?

Why did roughly 75,000 Home Owners mysteriously lose their Fire Insurance before this catastrophic Event, & WHY are Real Estate Investors sending offers to Folks while their Properties are STILL smoldering? What about the UFO sightings- WHAT exactly are they??? What about the Water Shortage? It's not like Gavin Newsome & Karen Bass didn't know that they already had a Water Crisis. California has been plagued w/ Wildfires for Years! Why did they take that Reservoir Offline? It was originally scheduled to go Offline back in April 2024; what took so long? WHAT happened to that Rail Car loaded w/ 60,000Lbs of Ammonium Nitrate??? While i'm at it, WHY was Joe Biden saying: 'Fire Away' each time he invited an Official to speak at his Press Conference? It goes beyond mere insensitivity.

NONE OF THIS passes the 'Smell Test'! I agree w/ Dane Calloway's assessment of this Event- are We seeing another Maui Disaster happening on the Mainland? Some are pointing out that Homes w/o 'Smart Meters' are still standing, similar to the Blue Roof Homes in Maui. Is this yet another Land Grab by Corporations like BlackRock, BlackStone, & Vanguard Properties? Like Maui, the Majority of those affected are Working Class People who lived in the Area for Generations. The Wealthy can afford to Rebuild, but what about Folks who had their Fire Insurance Policies Cancelled? These People lost EVERYTHING! ADOS/ FBA aren't Strangers to these Tactics; Our Ancestors survived Events like This in the Past. We've been Burned Out, Flooded Out, & FORCED OUT (by way of Terrorism, Imminent Domain, & Asset Forfeiture) of Our Independent Towns & Enclaves. Those Areas are currently NON BLACK.

We WARNED Everyone: The Pendulum swings Both Ways; What afflicts Us WILL swing back on You! Jim Crow Joe said that The Federal Government will "cover 100% of the Cost over the next 180 Days"- WHAT does that mean? Sounds like He's covering the Cost of Clearing Debris & Relocation of People who can't afford to Rebuild. $57B in Damages & counting, but neither Biden, nor Newsome said that They will assist Home Owners w/ Rebuilding. We already heard that Property Values in the Fire Zone will likely plummet, due to the unwillingness of Insurers to offer Fire Insurance Riders. In essence, it looks like The Federal Government is prepping The Area for Corporate Oligarchs to buy up Huge tracts of Land for Pennies on the Dollar.

Mechee X made an Excellent Point on the Subject: Is this part of a larger Plan? Are We being PRIMED to accept a Hidden Agenda? These people already think that We've been sufficiently Dumbed Down & Pacified... I can't help but remember the WEF Summit, where Globalists were telling Us: "You will Own NOTHING & you will like it". They spoke about '15 Minute Cities' where EVERYONE leases EVERYTHING; from your Home, down to the Electric Car or Scooter that you drive. 'Smart Technology' plays a Major Role in this narrative. We've heard the phrase: 'As California goes, so goes America'- if this is indeed true, then there's good reason to get prepared.

The Timeline between Maui, North Carolina, & Southern California shows that whatever name We call the Agenda underway, is escalating. We're being told that All 3 Events were 'Acts of Nature', but NONE of them feel natural. Programs like H.A.A.R.P. (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) have instigated many Conspiracy Theories over the Years. H.A.A R.P. in particular has been associated w/ Beached Whales & Giant Squid, along w/ Earthquakes in Haiti & Ecuador. My Question is: What's the End Game? If it's about the Billionaire Class, How much is enough? Most of Us are comfortable w/ a House & 2 Vehicles. Why are Companies like BlackRock so vexed on Owning ALL of the Land (& Fresh Water)?

It appears that the Globalists are INTENT on creating a New Feudal System, where EVERYONE is a Serf or Peasant under some Corporate Oligarch & their Political vassals. As a Collective, Europeans have that history in their Genetic Memory; so it may be Muscle Memory for them to fall in line w/ the Experience of their Great Grand Parents. Those of Us 'From The Soil' come from Matrilineal Societies that practiced 'Communalism'- We FIGHT for Freedom on This Side of The Tracks. Our Ancestors died fighting for their Right of Expression & Autonomy. The very same European Peasants that FLED the oppression of their Mother Countries, in turn, tried to make Us 'Their Peasants'- but We continue to fight them to This Day.

Looking at things from a Black Perspective, Delineation is actually a Godsend. As The 'Powers That Be' try to consolidate wealth, they're DESTROYING Europe & weakening America, to the point where BRICS+ has become a Real Time Competitor on the Global Stage. Indigenous Black Americans number over 50 Million Strong & represent over $1.5 Trillion/ Yr- as an Oppressed People. We're already a 'Global Cultural Superpower', & well on Our Way to becoming a formidable Political Power Block. If We can consolidate into a Economic Trading Block, We won't just fulfill the dreams of Our Enslaved & 1st Generation Freedmen Ancestors; We will become REAL PLAYERS on the World Stage [Again].

Regardless of their Agenda, the Colonizers CAN'T HAVE THIS LAND! We were HERE long before they came, & We'll be Here long after they're gone.
