When Christians say they are “Blessed,” or that you are “Blessed,” they are being both ignorant and accurate, at least in the Western context. If you look at the Etymology of the word “Bless” it means Blood, literally. To Bless something it means to sprinkle or drench something in Blood. The Pagan would spread blood on their alters because they worshiped bloodthirsty gods, so that had to offer Blood to...
Obama confuses the sentiments of the Black community because we see that he is a victim of rampant Racism at the hands of other politicians and White citizens of the US, and that makes us sympathetic and supportive of him. On the other hand he is an aggressive supporter and leader of the US Empire and he is continuing the genocidal policies of the US against Africans here and around the world, but we feel if we call him out on this we will be...
Sisters, I want to acknowledge your maturity and restraint. I’ve yet to see a post demeaning, condemning, attacking, or suggesting that Black men are assisting in the downfall of the Race as a result of their following and watching all those Ball-Chasers during the #MarchMaddness Basketball Tournament. Hell, yall Sisters be chill no matter the season, far as I see. Even if yall complain about preoccupation with sports yall...
I’m a strict dietary Vegan, I’m a practicing ethical Vegan but not as strict. I don’t eat any non-Vegan foods, or put any non-Vegan products on my body; but I have some non-Vegan products such as leather shoes. Most of my shoes are “Vegan” but I do have some leather shoes.I wouldn’t buy a leather jacket, or cashmere, or even wool, I don’t go to circuses that use animals in the acts, I would never go to a place like Sea World,...

In fact, I’d say he set our Race back more than any other activist, or Black (puppet) leader in the last half-century.I am in awe of his mass organizational ability, and his talent for articulating the (superficial) aspects of the movement to the masses. He is a great propagandist, he had a great mastery of...
I’ve read “Blueprint for Black Power,” several times, I’ve organized study groups dealing with the text, and I’ve advocated developing formations around the African Diaspora to refine and implement the “Blueprint.”Saying all of that, I’d have to argue that “Blueprint…” is not one of Amos Wilson’s best works, I suspect it’s because he wanted the text to have mass appeal and be digestible for those Black people who...
Atheism is not about disbelieving in God, but an acceptance of the evidence that all over the world we find men creating Gods, and no evidence of any Gods creating men. Atheism is not a product of my Oppression, but a rejection of an aspect of Oppression; Religious Oppression.I accept that there is much about the world, human potiential, and the universe that I don’t know; but I also reject absurd explations for the unknown like “God did...
True, so true. There are so many crimes that are pervasive and extremely damage to not only the direct victims but to society as a whole; Child Pornography, to Financial Crimes, to the International Illegal Organ Trade, but most people don’t think about them because the news dosen’t report them.The news dosen’t report them because these crimes are engaged by essentially the rich and White segments of the US population. The media like...
