{this is an article...not a poem} No �Niggers �Allowed

Now that I have your attention�what triggered you to keep reading?

The key word �nigger��okay�let us look at that for a moment. Where does it come from? It comes from slave owners�as a word derived from Negro�a word they used as a form of degradation or humiliation�a word to assert their authority over us and to keep us in a feeling of self-misery in addition to the barbaric treatment of the men and women who had to endure this era in history. Who suffered daily, who faced life uncertainty and inhumane treatment you cannot possibly set your mind in a position to imagine�

You will see that I said slave owners above and not slave masters�because the white man was not our master, only in their minds, and only because they assembled themselves in positions of power to enforce and encourage such depravity�

Now, Negro, is what we are�it is a word we should be proud of, but yet, we run away from it�are scared of it, because we have been conditioned to believe it is not acceptable�that we are
not acceptable. There are three major racial classifications�they are Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid�and in archeological circles, as my source Dr. Ivan Van Sertima points out to speak of �black bones� would be ridiculous. So, Negroid or Negro should not be a term we stray from, it should be one we embrace�but yet�what word is used? What word do we hear constantly?

We hear nigga this--nigga that-- and the other�and most of us have embraced that word as some type of term of endearment. We have conditioned ourselves that when we use it, it is acceptable or itis not the same as when a white person uses it.

What I see, is that we are now conditioned to hate who and what we are, which is Negro, and embrace who we NEVER were�i.e. �niggas�, �nigguhs��or any variation of the word nigger. Is that
ok?

That is a question only you can answer in your life�I am guilty as well of using the word�so I pass no judgments�I only present information�what is real.

We have also been told uplifting little phrases like �black is beautiful� or �you should be proud to be black��but when does anyone ever tell us why black is beautiful or why we should be black and proud? Because we overcame incredible obstacles�from slavery to being free�yes, that is an accomplishment for sure�but it is not all of our history, it is only a very tragic part of it. Black is beautiful because we were so great�we should be proud to be black because we had kings and queens, warriors,navigators,astronomers,physicians�etc..Africans�before Columbus, and before Christ�

Is that hard for you to believe? Probably, because we don�t teach it, we don�t even know it�why?

It is the truth�and it has been hidden well�so well that you may doubt the things you will hear soon�because they represent who we truly were and who we truly are�GREAT�a people of power and distinction�
�and we hear nothing of it, those who are writing the histories of the world misguide us; whether it be mathematics or medicine�we either originated it or had a hand in its use and influence. To paraphrase a Dr. Van Sertima lecture�Greeks had come into our land..looking at what we had done�amazing things in astronomy, medicine, the pulse and heart rate�then the same Greeks went home claiming they were the �father� of this or the �father� of that�when they were the children.
Hard to believe? If you are in any doubt, why?

Ask yourself why you are quick to doubt the accomplishments and greatness of our ancestors when itis very true�

�why easily dismiss the truth and accept the myths and lies about us? Is it easier for you to believe it is not true? That mindset is the type that we must get away from�and what we have known is about to change.

We must be willing to look at the evidence with new eyes�transport our minds into a time where there wasn�t modern technology�no computers, no cell phones, no cars�just people and natural resources. We are going to have to relearn things�and the accurate picture of who we were must be told�it has not been�and that too, is a tragedy�of monumental proportions.

History as we know it...has been filled with so many lies�lies that have been passed around as truth for generations�for many years�and what has happened�with these lies�because they have been accepted so long and endorsed as truth�they became true�well, almost�it almost worked�until now.

Why is it that we have to seek out our part in history�and why is it �black history� or �African American history��when it is ALL of our history�it is a history that we are ALL throughout�and one�according to scientific and archaeological finds�it�s a history that we began.

Now, in the Bible, it states that the world began with Adam and Eve�and in any representation you have ever seen of Adam and Eve in general�they have been portrayed, accepted, and recreated
as white�that has been accepted as truth. I understand the firm belief in that because that is what Christians have taught from the Bible. It is a beautiful biblical story, true enough�but science gives us another beginning. A find of our oldest known human ancestor that dates back over 3 and a half million years�.and that find was not Caucasoid�it was Negroid--African, she has been named �Lucy��her title though, is the African Eve. I apologize if that offends anyone�it is proven through science. �Lucy� stood 3 feet tall weighed about 60 pounds and her place of origin was Ethiopia.

Now, please do NOT think that I am in any way saying that the Bible is a lie�I would never intentionally disrespect a sacred text, I have no religious agenda here, this is about ONE thing and ONE thing only�showing the truth about who the African was beyond the capture and existence of the slave�this is about a TRUE examination of who we were and who we are now.

Since we have always heard of our existence in America as slaves, and I use the word existence because it was by NO means a life�it was a daily death�a slow death�if not physically, then
mentally and emotionally.

�I don�t want to see that� or �I can�t watch that��I have said, and I have heard said by dozens of people, when it comes to movies like �Roots��that�s the problem�we have turned away�and the more we have turned away, we have began to forget�

And, when we forget, we become lost�within ourselves�and if we are lost within ourselves, we cannot ever heal the wounds that plague our culture.

Don�t turn away�let�s look at it�let�s look at it with a new set of eyes�a new awareness, a new understanding of the evil beast that was slavery�look at what was done to us�look at what was
done to them�

The slave�has been portrayed as the lowest of the low, inferior, clumsy, dumb, fumbling�an animal.

That is what has been portrayed of us�but let us get this straight, first and foremost, that is a LIE,and slavery was not an embarrassment to our race, it is an embarrassment to theirs. There should be no one holding their heads high knowing their race was a part of such treachery, such a vile and evil era�how could you be proud of that? There is something disturbing about anyone who thinks slavery was a good thing, for ANY reason.

To me, the slaves deserve the greatest honor, the greatest respect, and they deserve NOT to be forgotten�EVER!

I have had white people say to me, slightly jokingly, �I didn�t do it so�� or �It�s in the past�forget about it move on.� �and to that I say, �how dare you?��how dare you tell me to forget the indignity and humiliation and death of my people�you have some nerve. What if I were to ask you to forget the systematic capturing of your people from your native land, then the forced labor upon those people, the beatings, the rapes, the murder�would you be so easy to forget?

The slave, was taken, from the beauty of our land, our culture, our language�and thrown into a new place�and forced to build the industries of America on their backs, from their labor, sweat, tears,blood�and were considered as property�to be owned, sold and traded, whenever the owner saw fit�for any reason, without any notice�

Take a walk with me in your minds now�can you imagine, just for one moment in time�standing on the wood block for which you are tobe sold, and your children are to be sold, to whoever bids highest? Your children are taken away from you�from each other�probably to never see each other again�who cares�it�s legal�taken by a stranger, you are taken away by a stranger�or willed to your former owners children or grandchildren�just like property�

From the slave journals�they speak, and they speak in a powerful voice�slaves were kept out of touch with their own being, to not even know when their birthdays were�how old they were�they

weren�t sure�they would gauge the days by when planting season was�for example��next plantin� season I�ll be 36.� Look �at what was done to them�.

Look at it for what it actually was, not for what we have been led to believe�and now, you tell me, if they deserve to be forgotten? That does not begin to even describe the trials they suffered, doesn�t even scratch the surface�don�t ever forget them.

Let�s talk about the so called �slave mentality� which has been misused mostly to describe a mental bondage�let�s look at that�what was the slave mentality? If you read the slave journals�you would know it was to be treated as what they were, human�to live and love as anyone else, to raise their kids safely�to be free from the bondage, to learn, to read, and to be educated. That is where the slave�s mentality was.

We have been taught so many lies about our people, our culture�myths that have been generated and passed down as reality, when it is a fantasy of the eye�the eye that sees what it wants to see�regardless of what the truth really is�the eye that decides the worth of a being as less than they because of the color of skin�that type of eye, has infected areas of history and science�but for this infection there is a cure�because no matter how much the eye sees what it wants, history leaves a mark�

We have been introduced to great thinkers, scientists, physicians, etc�in history and science throughout school, and how many of those have been African?

So, we are to believe in and put entire faith in a school system that only shows us that anyone greatin medicine, or astronomy, or philosophy, were all white�that is not only a lie, but a blatant one�but we never hear of it, still now, in the millennium, we are still unaware of our greatness�and when I say greatness, I don�t mean in just a romantic sense, but in the actual sense.

We were great�we are great�that lesson hasn�t been being taught.

Until now.

To this day, we are taught about Christopher Columbus, being this great man in history�did you know that Columbus initiated the slave trade? And yet we celebrate a day in his name�famous
3 day weekend�Columbus was greedy and he was a liar�evidence of his lies and his greed are documented in Columbus� own handwriting in a letter to his son Diego Columbus�where have you
heard that in history?

We are given what they want us to have, and we have to seek out the truth and separate fact from fiction, truth from myth.

We are shown, even in this day, shades of our assumed inferiority�for example, in the media. We are always shown pictures of missing white women and missing white children�which of course, is horrible�but, this type of reporting would lead us to believe that our children and our women never go missing, and if not that, then we are just not newsworthy�is that it?... and nothing is ever done to correct this�

It is just accepted as the way things are�and that is NOT OK.

We are to celebrate only a handful of African Americans in America that we are told about that fought to make us free�and we are to be excepting of the Lil� ole� month of February, (The shortest month no doubt) to celebrate black history�

As for those who fought to make us free�damn right they are to be celebrated�and as for the Lil ole month of February for black history month�how dare you�how dare you try to confine our greatness to America only� and confine our mention to 28 days..and how dare we accept that.

This is not militant talk�this is not political talk�this is not hate talk�there is not a racist bone in my body or a feeling of racism in my soul; this is an uncovering of the truth that has been hidden�

This is about knowing that slavery was not who we were only�that is not our only history�not even close.

This, is about knowing our history�examining evidence and opening our minds to a people who were a class of distinction, of power, and great beauty. This is about loving who we are�because it is so worthy of love, respect, and being knowledgeable about. I am a student as well�I am still reading things that have me shaking my head�learning things that have my mouth hanging open�because I wonder in those moments�why the hell haven�t I heard of these things before now? Why haven�t we been given an accurate picture of the African? Again, the eye.

I plan to present to you a true detailed examination of our culture, our heritage, from the beginning to the present�addressing what can be done�solutions to help us heal. We must heal within our own community and culture before we can address anything else. This is about knowing better�so
hopefully, we can do better, be better�this is about addressing what�s in our private thoughts, and about learning to live better�this is about love�I will put my life out there�for any examples I need too�because this is just that important.

I love my people, I love being black�and I am going to love sharing this vast wealth of knowledge with you. I do not hate anyone; I love who I am and what I am�a beautiful black queen.
Because of the depth of the subject matter...out of the respect to those historical ancestors and out of respect to us presently, and because of the respect with which I intend to handle it�I will not rush through anything�this is too important and we have been distracted from the truth long enough.

I will tell of their greatness equally with as much information as I have.

This is a great task to undertake, and what is sad is that there will still be those who would rather believe the history that�s been accepted as truth instead of knowing the actual truth of history. It is not African history it is all of our history�history belongs to all of us.

Now ask yourself if you are ready�honestly ready to hear about the African�the Negro in history? Can you handle the fact that we were great kings, queens, pharaohs, warriors etc�that
we were great period�even to the point where it contradicts what we have been told or guided to believe?

The truth can be and has been hidden well, especially when there are those who continuously throw dirt on top of it�but it has been slowly uncovered�I believe and follow the work of Dr. Ivan
Van Sertima, who has done ground breaking research on the truth about our history for most of his life�he was a great man, who too had no racial, political, or religious agenda�his research is
impeccable�and I research his research�It is my sincerest wish that I can bring new life to his life�s work�which was to present knowledge�and I hope to present this knowledge with as much dignity and respect as he used researching and writing�the truth about the African presence and contributions to the world.

I believe that it takes someone to gather the data and present it�and when that person cannot be a part of the transfer of that information any longer�another comes along with the same type of
passion for the truth�and continues the where the source left off �I am continuing the transfer. The information is lengthy but it will not be intimidating�it will be inviting�that is a promise�are you ready, or will you turn away because you don�t want to see it?

Thank you for reading this introduction into my upcoming lectures and writings. The opening page was used as an �attention grabber��the ACTUAL name of this presentation of knowledge is:

[b]Power, Beauty, and Distinction�

A New Dynasty

Please give me your honest feedback, let me know if you want to hear more�thank you for

reading�there is so much more to come.

first of all, do not insult my intelligence with your whines and moans...and yes, this is something "we" haven't heard before...but you will. This is about my culture, my heritage, my people...and as a matter of fact, it is all of our history...so, be last to speak on the first things you know nothing about...secondly, if you had bother to read as much as you bothered to speak on things you clearly know nothing about nor have a desire to truly know about...you would have noticed the category was under non fiction, diaries, articles, and letters..nothing and no one stops what I am saying...and no need to reply because I am sure I will be totally uninterested.

Niggers, Please give me your honest feedback, let me know i

23rd Aug 2011 1:49am

first let me say i read all of this and found many things that are not factual.i did not click into this because of the word nigger either and find that comment to be presumptive.
so far as the word nigger i am guessing it came from the country niger much the same way as english are from england.
three foot tall Africans? it is well known that Africans were always the tallest homo sapiens since their arrival. as for the garden of Edan in the bible that is just a metaphor nothing else.
you are right in that it is widely accepted that the first men were born in Africa and spread from there.the oldest village or settlement is in fact in Afghanistan.
the Greeks stole astronomy? thats just madness and i think if you looked into it you will see that.
collumbus was no where near the first slave trader nor was he the first foreigner to set foot in the america's.
look, Africans have made a big contribution in the world and religion, the king of Ethiopia is one such person.
really i would of liked to see more positive things, rather than the semi racist writings you have down. i can see you'r angry. do you know about the 54th infantry in the american civil war. the first colored person to sit in the French parliament.things like that might give some balance. if you want to be angry about treatment of Africans in this era its actually other Africans who are slaughtering them and i often wonder why y'all never talk about such things.

Usually i do not address ignorance but it seems to be rampant here...all of my facts are accurate...you all (the ones who commented thus far) are under the myths and misguidance of lies that have been accepted as truth...now, ltels see first of all if you had really read it...you would see no racial tones...only an honest examination of history...i have no racist anger towards anyone...I am presenting FACTUAL information gathered by an African linguist, anthropologist, and professor with impeccable credentials...and your credentials are??? There has been a one sided history continously taught and that is wrong....and as for now, those who need to read this will understand and respect it..so continue in your fantasy that all great people in history were white...and I will keep dismembering those lies for what they are.....stay tuned lol

Tell me, are you a linguist, anthropologist, or professor?

Now, before you start thinking I'm some racist fool for not agreeing with you, I am not. However...

I think your facts are biased and manipulated.
Comparable to the bible, but ill written.

Also, they don't teach this stuff in American schools in history because...it's usually American History. Not African History...
**No one said they were thinking all great people in history were white, it's apparent you think they were all african though.

Just pointing that out.

And no, I didn't read the whole thing, I got a little over half way through...

thank u for your response...let me first state, no, I am not a linguist or anthropologist...I am a double major in the disciplines of Psychology and Sociology...but the great man who introduced me to this knowledge of TRUTH...IS all of those things, and much more.

secondly, let me say that it is your kind of thinking that is the reason why what I do and write on this particular subject matter is so important...because it is WRONG!! Please do not insult my intelligence...where did I say in that article that all great people were African or Black??? hmmm?? Tell me? Why Africans are not studied an American History is because we have been conveniently left out of great contributions to many many things...things that you do not know about things I didn't know about...that is the point..now, let's see...we study Columbus in history, and he was certainly not American, and a host of other men who were European in origin..so for that you have no play.
I will tell you this...as much as I have learned from this Great Dr...we have all been cheated...the African community as well as the Whites...because the truth of history has not been told...and I am not surprised you couldn't finish it...the truth is never usually easy to accept...but I will tell you this...if there was ever a myth built up in anyone's head that whites are superior in any way to the African..even if you do not admit it here...in the deepest recesses of your mind or soul...then yes, you are racist. For it is not my intention to show the African superiority, only the factual, documented, and physical evidence that proves the African was here in America before Columbus, and that we had great presence in the Ancient world...from Europe and the Renaissance, to Germany, Egypt and Asia...as well as our native lands. And we were not just there...we did marvelous things, and were admired and greatly respected...held in Great esteem.
Now, it is not my intention to get into religion or whatever...this is not political or religious, or racial...this is purely about information being presented that has been sorely missing from society for far too long. And again, I will say...stay tuned.

Amazing, truly amazing.
Evidently anyone can major in psychology and sociology...

My thinking is not wrong, you have no reason to tell me it is.
I'm not stupid, and everyone can see that you TRULY do believe africans are super and a fucking gift to the world.

You know why we study Columbus (I never thought i'd have to spell this out to a psych major) because he is one of the main founders of America. Argue that africans were there first, for fucksake so were the norse, and ancient asians. But guess what, Columbas's voyage was the FIRST (and listen closely) lasting European contact with the Americas.

We also study slavery.
You may not know this, or you just block this out of your mind, but not only africans were slaves. Native americans, asians, mexicans, blah, blah, blah.
I'm part native american (&mexican)
My people were murdered, raped and even worse by white settlers taking over OUR land.
Do we have a national Native American Appreciation day?
Do we have Native American month at school?
Do we have a fucking television channel dedicated to us?
No. And I'm not complaining.
But I can easily pull the same 'woe is me no one understands my race' card too.
When do you EVER hear native americans BITCHING about not getting any recognition for what they did for America?
Never.

I didn't stop reading it fearing the truth, I didn't finish it because your writing is utter bullshit and you're doing nothing for anyone.

History is history, it rarely matters.
Think about the now, and stop puting so much time into something of the past.
Jesus Christ.

Have a nice day, I hope you find some more ways to further my hate for the human race.

Again, as I said...and listen closely...Columbus was a liar and he was greedy...he was a double dealer as was his buddy Amerigo Vespucci...the entire cloud around Columbus is set up on a fraud. And again, and listen closely, I do not believe that the African is superior, just that the true story has not been told. No, the history of your people has not been told...and that is the point of the whole thing...we should be representing ALL great contributors to history...I am doing my part because the African experience is my own...maybe you should do something to tell your story of your people...because as I will continuously say...let's tell the whole story...not this one sided view of history as it has been. If you were to speak on the history and brutality of your people as well as their contributions, I would certainly listen...because I like knowing the truth about things, not just what has been passed around as truth...so, finally, have a great week!

Hey no stress, no anger in me either.

If you will bear with me;

I'm not sure, but I think you have written this to be read aloud by yourself? If so, all good, but if you have intended it to be read by others it does have a condescending quality, and in that I mean you several times presume what the reader is thinking. In doing so, you do many of your readers an injustice, which will only close their minds to listening.

Also, the repeated use of '...' needs to be worked out of the piece. It's a lazy way of punctuating, and usually means the writer couldn't figure out how the re-work the sentence (I should say here that I overuse them myself :-)

Also, the length is exessive, with parts of it reading more zealot than information. This always reduces a piece's impact. Things like using the names of others in the way you have comes across as the words of a disciple, rather than a person thinking for themselves.

So, if you are inclined, please do shorten it, and I would be happy to take a look at it again....or you may be happy to leave it as it lays. No stress either way :-)

having read this again more slowly i can see that it is not a semi racist rant.i am sorry for implying that.
i would have to agree with hemihead where he says that it can be a little condescending.
it's hard to read mainly because of the sheer length of it.as i said before it is widely recognized that Africa is the birth place of man.
also i can see Carla Cacoethes point of view.
i would like to read more of the facts that you have alluded to,as i too like to learn.

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Who-Were-the-Black-Pharaohs-77437.shtml

i have found this link to the Nubian Pharaohs, i see the great Tutankhamen was African decent. i am not trying to be smart here
SPIRIT but the Pharaohs you speak about were prolific slave drivers themselves.

p.s
"so continue in your fantasy that all great people in history were white"
where the hell did you get that from?
i think maybe it's the way you are writing or the undertone that might need to be addressed.

Thank you for your response...it is only an introduction into a series of writings and/or lectures...and if it sounds condescending, then that is not the purpose...it is the truth being stated about the past and will involve the truth about the present of my culture...this is not a one sided piece as many have been led to believe...when I produce the first installment of the series, things will become more clear I am sure. And, as for the great Tutankhamen, yes he was African with dreadlocks that were found in tact when unearthed...and his mother, a powerful African queen named Tiye was beloved and very politically active...she was the mother of another Pharoah Akhenaten and the mother in law of the beautiful Nefertiti, and she ruled before Nefertiti and Cleopatra, who was also of African ancestry.
As for my statement, it was not directly at you, although I can see how it may seem that way...I too as most of us are, under the assumption that the greatest in history were white men...and that is certainly false. I was under that assumption to from what I have been taught, what we all are taught in school...this is about an equal representation in history as it is not how others would like it to be...history belongs to all of us...and it should be represented equally...the African American experience is mine, and it is currently what I am speaking on...and along this journey if there are those who want to include their histories and great people in their histories that are little known or not known at all, I welcome that...

I've already heard this all before...

Negros get more attention and privileges than any other race in America. I'm tired of hearing about it.

"Why Africans are not studied an American History is because we have been conveniently left out of great contributions to many many things"

I actually remember having a whole month in school were we learned about all the "great" things black people did.

"There has been a one sided history continously taught and that is wrong....and as for now, those who need to read this will understand and respect it..so continue in your fantasy that all great people in history were white.."

Not true... When we learned about black people and all their suffering in the past, we were made to feel sorry for them. The teachers told us all about how badly they were treated and such... which I would say, is the Negro's side of the story. MLK wasn't white, Michael Jackson wasn't white... oh... wait.. was he?
My point is that no, we haven't only been taught that all great people in history were white. I get more information about black accomplishments shoved down my throat than any other race.... I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in USA... every one knows aaallll about your "people's" struggles, which I may add, YOU did not have to go through.

MY PEOPLE'S STRUGGLE?? I THINK YOU MAY NEED TO RE-VISIT YOUR HISTORY CLASS BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS, YOU ARE MY PEOPLE...THE BEGINNING OF OF MANKIND COMES FROM AFRICA...ALL BEGINNING...SO THERE ARE NO RACES REALLY, AMERICA HAS DECLARED THAT NECESSARY...WE ARE ALL AFRICANS...THE MIGRATION OF THE AFRICAN IS WHY YOU ARE HERE...THAT'S SOME HISTORY YOU CAN SHOVE WHEREVER YOU WANT, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH NONETHELESS...AND FOR YOU TO SPEAK SO CALLOUSLY ABOUT THAT "WHOLE" MONTH OF AFRICAN STUDY YOU DID IN SCHOOL, WHAT DID YOU LEARN SPECIFICALLY???
AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH...I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THOUGHT PROCESSES LIKE YOURS...PLUS A HELL OF A LOT MORE YOU CAN'T BEGIN TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND...YOU ARE THE ONE THAT PROBABLY HASN'T ENCOUNTERED ANY...BUT TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT...YOU ARE AFRICAN AS WELL AS WE ALL ARE...SO YOU CAN STOP THE "YOU PEOPLE'S" FOOLISHNESS BECAUSE IT IS QUITE IGNORANT TO STATE THAT...MY PEOPLE ARE YOUR PEOPLE...SEE IF THAT GETS THROUGH.

YES, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE....BUT YOU DAMN SURE WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION.
