The irony of this whole discussion is these statements are made on a board for black GREEK lettered organizations which is inherently a Non-Afrikan entity and has nothing to do with the upliftment and liberation of Afrikan people worldwide... The concepts of ALL BGLO's and the fact that they are GREEK-Lettered means we have chosen to assimilate an europee-on's world view in organizational heirarchy... What was the underlying concept that formed our organizations that our founder's used???
A "SELL OUT" of Afrikan descent was historically one that was a slave in the "big house" that got the other slaves, especially the field negroes, in whipped by Massa or the overseer. That is how a caucasian woman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, described this man of Afrikan descent who lived on her family's plantation. Many of these author's that formulate these concepts clearly follow Dr. Sigmund Freud's ideology of psychology--it all stems from genital envy. It seems that Harriet Beecher Stowe sexually longed for this man of Afrikan descent who denied her... "And he never left the plantation even after his freedom papers and he is buried there..."
Most of you, including myself, have not completely connected with your Afrikan anscestry. Some of you have no plans to so and never wanted to. There is more to reaching an Afrikan Centered perspective than just having highly melanized skin, wearing braids or a 'fro or reading Afrikan Centered books... To begin to understand our Afrikan heritage is a spiritual journey that can't be beaten, genetically recombined nor assimilated/acculturated out. It is soooo spiritual that when you hear Jill Scott's music, "Can't get the way..." or "It's Love..." you feel the beats down to your soul and you HAVE to shake yo' groove thang... There is a reason for that. Chemically, melanin responds to the vibrations from sound. There are neuromelanins in your brain, in the pineal gland, that emit electronic and chemical messengers which cause this feeling when you hear a "good" hip hop tune. The Ashanti, the Twee, the Guyuki, the Ibo, the Nubians and the ancient KMT'ians knew about this effect. So when Haitians who practice the Voduon have a spirit possession ceremony, they call in the spirits by specific beats of their drums. You can't just randomly pound on drums because you will call-in "foul" spirits or the wrong one's--which means that if you understand this concept completely it explains the Columbine massacre... What kind of spirits does Marilyn Manson call up??? What you throw out into the universe, it will come back to you in various ways...
And for some of you, don't even say the Afrikan in amerikkklan churches don't do this... What was the basis of the AME founding!!! Yeah, right, Charles Weselynian and episcopalian doctrines... Okay... If that's what you want to believe...
KNOW AND UNDERSTAND YOUR HISTORY!!!
