The point to emphasize here is that the victory will occur when and only when African teachers (the Mwalimu) who have drunk deeply from the deep well of African heritage, take over the preservation, cultivation, reconstruction and dissemination of African culture as the vital core of African Education. This is the project that was pioneered by Bookman, Jean Jacques Dessalines, Prince Hall. P.V. Vastey, Prince Sanders, David Walker, Hosea Easton, Henry Highland Garnett and Martin Delaney. This is the project that launched the Study of Classical African Civilizations (ASCAC).” Mzee Jedi Shemsu Jehewty (Jacob H. Carruthers) <strong>Intellectual Warfare</strong> page 4</p><p> </p><p> Last week I shared a few book titles and authors that I believe provide a solid foundation in the study and comprehending the praiseworthy place of Africa and Africans in human history. It is crucial for us to study, learn and know our history. It is said a people without knowledge of their history is like a tree without roots. This is an apt analogy. A tree without roots cannot live, it cannot remain stationary, anchored in the soil, it has no access to life giving water and nutrients and subsequently cannot fulfill its symbiotic relationship to its surroundings. It cannot hold the soil to prevent it from eroding and being washed away, broken up and blown by the winds. It cannot reproduce its kind, contribute and share in the abundance of nature.</p><p> In many ways people of African heritage today are like trees without roots because we lack a history/knowledge of self. As a result we are unable to fulfill the great axiom, “Know Thyself”. We lack knowledge of self because our enemies and we do have enemies, have determined to totally defeat and debase us.</p><p>Our adversaries have maneuvered us into positions of impotent subservience, dependency, lethargy, apathy, listlessness and they control our consciousness and behaviors. We find ourselves in a protracted struggle for our mind, soul and body but we have come to accept being under attack, suffering humongous casualties and defeat as normal! We are suffering oppression fatigue or what is also called racial battle fatigue so intense we don’t even realize we are in a war!</p><p>In the modern world mind control is dominant, in addition to the use of fear, propaganda and debilitating psychological techniques our enemies use food poisoning, ecocide, drugs and alcohol and advanced technology to dumb us down and keep us as Malcolm X said, “hoodwinked and bamboozled.”</p><p>It is not the duty, obligation or responsibility of our adversaries to fully educate us, to teach us who we are and what our place in the world is. Only we can effectively do this. Yes others can train us, indoctrinate us, miseducate us and fool us. This is what has happened for centuries to Africa and Africans; invaders came into Africa shut down our temples of knowledge, destroyed our institutions, disrupted our social and cultural infrastructures turned our world upside down rendering us confused and impotent. This is why we see so much psychological dysfunction and maladaptive behavior everywhere African people are colonized, oppressed and subjugated to foreign hegemony.</p><p> </p><p> History is not the study, remembrance and regurgitation of dates and names; it is analysis, it is discerning relationships and examining the nexus between causes and events, the how and why of things. History helps us discern patterns and thereby anticipate current and future events. History helps us learn from our mistakes, errors and our missteps, it teaches us how to build upon our successes and triumphs. With this being <strong>Black History Month</strong> and in keeping with last week’s list of resources; this week I am sharing a short list of books I believe will help us fully gasp our situation, offer solutions and ways to positively enhance our position in our ongoing reality/struggle. My hope is this short list which is a mere smidgeon of the wealth and knowledge available to us will be useful and beneficial as we celebrate Black History everyday and resolve to use our great history to transcend our current predicament and become all THE CREATOR intends for us to be.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Before The Mayflower A History of Black America</strong> by Lerone Bennett Jr ISBN:0-1401-7822 8</p><p><strong>In The Matter of Color Race and the American Legal Process The Colonial Period</strong> by A.

<p> [<em><strong>By Junious Ricardo Stanton</strong></em>] Recent images of US Border Patrol Agents interacting with Haitian immigrants caused shock and stir when juxtaposed against images of Afghani refugees being shuttled onto waiting US military transport planes to he brought to the US and housed courtesy of the US government and taxpayers. The rationale is that these people need to be recued because they collaborated with the US during the US/NATO occupation of that nation in what had become the United States longest running war. President Biden took heat for his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the fact he left an unknown number of Americans in the country.</p>
<p> People see how the US is bending over backwards to accommodate the Afghan refugees and the stark contrast to the way Black Haitians are being treated as they also try to forge a better life for themselves and their families by coming to America.</p>
<p> On Friday the US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas appeared at a press conference to provide an update on the situation in Texas. He stated the images of the border patrol appearing to beat the Haitians with horse reins was “not who we are and are not our values.” He stated all the migrants had been removed from the Del Rio area some were processed and returned to Haiti while others were being taken care of until their future fates could be determined.</p>
<p> People around the world were outraged at the images of the US Border Patrol agents’ interactions with the Haitians. On social media there were comparisons to how enslaved Africans were treated in the US during slavery and the actions of the US Border Patrol agents. Neither is a good look especially when you consider the abysmal relationship between the US and Haiti going back to the establishment of that Republic in 1804.</p>
<p> Haiti’s defeat of France sent shockwaves throughout the Western Hemisphere especially the US slavocracy which was heavily dependent upon slave labor to generate the workforce and profits that would make the US the envy of the world. The resilience of the Haitian people to stave off subsequent attempts by France, other European countries as well as the United States to recolonize and re-enslave it has led to formal ostracism, crippling debt and odious “reparations” payments being imposed upon the island nation by the West. It’s as though the Western imperialists will never forgive Haiti for defeating them and casting off their shackles and chains.</p>
<p> On July 7, 2021 Jovenel Moise the unpopular President of Haiti was assassinated in a brazen attack on his home. There are alleged links between the assassins and the U.S., “Several of the men involved in the assassination of <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/09/americas/haiti-moise-assassination-july-9-intl-hnk/index.html">Haiti's President</a> previously worked as US law enforcement informants, according to people briefed on the matter, as US investigators grapple with an increasing number of Florida links to the alleged hit squad. Haitian President Jovenel Moise was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/07/americas/haiti-president-jovenel-moise-attack-intl/index.html">killed last Wednesday in an operation</a> that Haitian authorities say involved at least 28 people, many of them Colombian mercenaries hired through a Florida-based security company. At least one of the men arrested in connection to the assassination by Haitian authorities previously worked as an informant for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the DEA said in a statement in response to CNN.” Several tied to Haitian assassination plot were previously US law enforcement informants – Evan Perez <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/12/americas/haiti-assassination-plot-us-law-informants/index.html">https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/12/americas/haiti-assassination-plot-us-law-informants/index.html</a> </p>
<p> The US has been directly or indirectly involved in all the intrigue and mischief on the island for over a century. “Between 1911 and 1915, seven presidents were assassinated or overthrown in Haiti, increasing U.S. policymakers’ fear of foreign intervention. In 1914, the Wilson administration sent U.S. Marines into Haiti. They removed $500,000 from the Haitian National Bank in December of 1914 for safe-keeping in New York, thus giving the United States control of the bank. In 1915, Haitian President Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam was assassinated and the situation in Haiti quickly became unstable. In response, President Wilson sent the U.S. Marines to Haiti to prevent anarchy. In actuality, the act protected U.S. assets in the area and prevented a possible German invasion. The invasion ended with the Haitian-American Treaty of 1915. The articles of this agreement created the Haitian Gendarmerie, essentially a military force made up of U.S. citizens and Haitians and controlled by the U.S. Marines. The United States gained complete control over Haitian finances, and the right to intervene in Haiti whenever the U.S. Government deemed necessary.” US invasion and occupation of Haiti 1915-1934 <a href="https://history.state.gov/milestones/1914-1920/haiti">https://history.state.gov/milestones/1914-1920/haiti</a></p>
<p> In addition to invasion and occupation the US maintained indirect control over Haiti by propping numerous dictators. The US government, multinational corporations and oligarchs have been involved in all the intrigue on the island either directly or indirectly for decades. “Through framing Haiti as a nation that lies outside modernity and progress, its only hope is through developmental aid from former colonizers, international lending agencies, the United Nations (UN), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These global “civil servants” provide development strategies that are amenable to their own economic self-interest. Neoliberal economic policies, odious debts, despotic regimes, and the overthrow of democratic governments are the result of this neocolonial order. Through racial narratives that project Haitians as existing outside modernity, and through neocolonial influences in all phases of Haitian life, Haitians are subject to global institutions that remove their agency and replace it with dependency”.

LAZY BLACK PARENTS: BRING BACK ‘THE MANTRA’: The Ramey Commentaries by Mike Ramey

<div><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> I’d like to remind those of us who are of the darker hue of one thing this Black History Month: Success goes to the prepared, period! This is the sign that hangs over Real Town, USA. It is ultimately the responsibility of the parents to make sure a child grows up to be a successful member of society, with one, single weapon at their disposal.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> It’s called: ‘The Mantra’. And, yes MY parents had different forms they used!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> I KNEW that I was not only GOING to college, while I was growing up; I KNEW that I was going to graduate in the four year time period. This was thanks to ‘The Mantra’: that short, powerful and constant ‘phrase of focus’ that BOTH of my parents told me, repeatedly--in one form or another--since elementary school. “Never mind about the money--we’ll get the money, but YOU’RE going. END of discussion.” Thus, in the words of one comedian from the Old School: “I didn’t have a choice BUT to graduate, because BOTH of my parents would have buried me in the back yard, IF I didn’t.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Now, to put it bluntly, my parents knew that a college degree was ‘optional’ for white people, BUT a matter of SURVIVAL for Black people. Sure, there were programs for young Black folk who were skilled in blue collar professions. However, the social and financial route to the top for Black people involved a four-year stint at the ‘college of your choice’. And, yes, thanks to those three animals called ‘work-study’ and ‘summer/winter employment’ and ‘determination’, I got my degree with ZERO student debt. So, you’ll excuse me for being more than a little bit irritated when I meet a young Black man or woman who ‘drops out’ of college after ONE term…or, doesn’t bother to put forth the effort to focus on bettering themselves PAST high school. There’s only ONE reason for this: Their parents have forgotten to speak and use their own version of ‘The Mantra’.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> Why do I blame the parents and not their children? It’s simple. Parents are responsible for RAISING a quality child, not creating a casualty along the side of the road, nor a bunkmate sitting inside of someone’s Department of Corrections. A child is only going to go as far as parents are willing to teach them and sacrifice for them. Excuses aside, it is NOT the responsibility of the church, school, or government to make sure that your child is successful. It is the parents. I've noticed that the spirit of this age has parents going for THEIR advanced degrees...but doing NOTHING for their OWN children!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"> And, it begins with ‘The Mantra’…which, in its simplest form means the following: “We didn’t bring you into this world to be anything other than successful! Now, get your chores done, get your homework done and get your mind ready and right to go to college--AND graduate with MINIMAL debt!” Parents, stop being selfish and weak. Raise your OWN children. The village...has SPOKEN!</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:12pt;"> Mike Ramey, a Minister, syndicated columnist, book reviewer and Modern Street Gangs Specialist, lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Jason L. Riley, author and Fox News Contributor fills the bill well with his work: “Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed.”</p><p>Riley, also Columnist for the famed Wall Street Journal as well as a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute has a LOT to say about how some Blacks have ‘lost’ that pioneering ‘can do’ spirit, and have been tricked into expecting others to do for ‘us’ what we were better able to do for ourselves. “Please Stop Helping Us” (2014, 2015 Encounter Books, 204 pages), helps recapture that righteous spirit that many in our communities had in solving our own problems--in spite of the challenges which were ‘road blocked’ into our path. A time which wasn’t too long ago.</p><p> “Today’s civil rights leaders encourage Blacks to see themselves as victims. The overriding message from the NAACP, the National Urban League, and most Black politicians is that white racism explains black pathology.”</p><p> Riley, who writes in the vein of masterful economic thinkers Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams (both Columnists, by the way), lays out--with complete documentation and statistical data--what progress Black folk ‘used’ to make on their own, and the progress many have been ‘relegated to having’ based upon many Black leaders and institutions ‘buying in’ to the lie that we can’t ‘make it’ without help from the mainstream. Riley also puts forth a ‘short’ work in paperback form…but is not meant to be handled by those who may desire a ‘safe zone’ when confronted with the truth.</p><p> “Please Stop Helping Us” by Jason L. Riley reflects back on a time when family was king in many of our Black cities, and moves forward through some 50 years or more of how a few factors have taken many off the path of success. The work teaches clearly that many of the institutions that have Black faces leading them have done more harm than good to our ability to rise as a people.

White Power v Black Power: Don’t Get it Twisted

<div><p>During the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, a number of radical groups, like the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), have risen from the shadows. The American people are now calling this group “White Power” activists, the “alt-right,” White supremists and White Nationalists. This terminology for White dominance is used interchangeably. I am not going to attempt to describe the differences among the groups above but I want to differentiate between these groups and groups that were or are part of the Black Power Movement. Don’t get it twisted. White Power and Black Power are very different. White Nationalism and Black Nationalism are very different in focus and content. As stated, the term, nationalism in White Nationalist is descriptive of White supremacy. However, nationalism in Black Nationalism depicts the area of advocacy – the country (USA). Conversely, Black Pan-Africanism focuses on activities and events in the world, particularly Africa. These activists state that all people of African descent are connected by blood and history; and, contend with common issues. While White Nationalism and Black Nationalism sound similar, they are not equivalent in any way.</p><p>African American activism to achieve Black liberation has existed in America since the days of slavery. This activism has, for the most part, been defensive strategies against racism and oppression – not the pursuit of Black privilege or to enable Black people to discriminate against other groups. Black Power organizations were/are about sharing power; defending Black people from unprovoked violence, breaking down social and financial barriers for equal opportunity; reeducating Black people, <b>and healing Black people from the ravages of slavery</b>. </p><p>Most people view Black activism that occurred during the 1960s and 1970s as the Civil Rights Movement. Because of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. many citizens are familiar with this movement. However, there were several other movements that occurred during that time including the Black Power Movement. The goal of civil rights activists was and is breaking down barriers in areas such as voting, housing, education, and jobs; and, Blacks achieving equal rights as US citizens. Black Power Movement activists, however, focused on the emotional, social, and psychological needs of African Americans. We realized that we had been grossly mis-educated about our rich cultural heritage, our contributions to the world, and our connection to the peoples in Africa. The West portrayed continental Africans as savages swinging from vines in the jungle (remember Tarzan?). This portrayal effectively caused African Americans to deny any connection with the peoples of Africa. We were embarrassed by them, all because of the negative and inaccurate depiction.</p><p>Just as Civil Rights activists point to Dr. King as their inspiration, Black Power activists point to the teachings of Malcolm X (El Haij Malik El Shabazz) and Marcus Garvey as their inspirations. Malcolm X said that Black people had a right to self-defense, should practice self-determination, and must re-educate ourselves. The Black Power Movement was about healing – recovering from being enslaved, correcting history, and reestablishing the rightful place of Blacks in the world. It was and is not about hating anyone.</p><p>Based on my knowledge of the Ku Klux Klan and recent hate crimes of some Trump supporters, this White movement is about hatred of anyone that does not look like them. They contend that the White race is superior to other races, and is deserving of being dominant because, they assert, the US was founded by the White Christian race. Activists in the White Power Movement feel it is their right to attack, shame, and oppress people of color. After the election of Trump to the White House, hate crimes against Blacks and other people of color have spiked. Black Power Movement activists focused on uplifting Black people, not attacking other people. Again, it was a defensive movement against oppression and proactive in planting seeds for the future of Africans in America and around the world. These are and were very different movements. Please share this article with others who may be confused about this issue.</p></div>

Woodson, the Father of Black History Month, “Philosophers have long conceded, however, that every man has two educators: 'that which is given to him, and the other that which he gives himself. Of the two kinds the latter is by far the more desirable. Indeed all that is most worthy in man he must work out and conquer for himself. It is that which constitutes our real and best nourishment. What we are merely taught seldom nourishes the mind like that which we teach ourselves.” The Monthly National Day for Lifting-up Our Revered Ancestor is a proactive response to Dr. Woodson's assertion that what We teach ourselves is the best nourishment.<br /> The Lifting-up Our Revered Ancestor Rally Presenters' messages are centered around Prideful Racial Identity, Social and Economic Justice and Peace in the Hood - seeking to bring forth soulutions to the injuries resulting from our Hellacaust {aka Maafa} plaguing the New Afrikan community. The Monthly Lifting-up Our Revered Ancestor Rallies are designed to heighten public awareness to and necessary for action to fix our Prideful Racial Identity, Social and Economic Justice and Peace in the Hood. The Akoben {the West African Adinkra Symbol} Call is being made by The REAL Learning Institute, Baba Asinia Lukata Chikuyu, Founder and New Afrikan Cultural and Educational Consultant. For more details contact Baba Lukata at realsoulutions@yahoo.com. the first Ancestor to be Lifted-up is Brother Minister Malcolm X on February 21st {the day of his assassination}.</p><p class="attachment"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3828844985,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank">Lifting-up Malcolm.png</a></p></div>

<div><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>Remembering Carter G. Woodson</strong></span></p><div><span class="font-size-2">Thanks to the pioneering advocacy of educator and scholar Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the annual public acknowledgement of the contributions of people of African descent to society has evolved from what began in February 1926 as "Negro History Week", into a month long tribute that we now refer to as Black History Month. </span> <strong><br /></strong> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3828834958,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828834958,original{{/staticFileLink}}" height="257" width="541" alt="3828834958?profile=original" /></a><span class="font-size-2">Aside from the creation of "Negro History Week", Dr. Woodson, who was a contemporary of both W.E.B. DuBois and Arturo A. Schomburg, also founded <i>The Association For Negro (African American) Life and History</i> in 1915, wrote articles regularly for Marcus Garvey's <i>Negro World</i> newspaper, and established Associated Publishers which has since gained the distinction of being the oldest African American publishing company in the U.S.</span> <br /> <br /> <span class="font-size-2">To Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the study and highlighting of Black history was much more than simply a celebration of noteworthy dates, facts or famous "firsts", but was viewed by him as a way to empower people with self knowledge while ensuring that a positive account of their historical achievements was given fair treatment and accurately reported.</span> <br /> <br /> <span class="font-size-2"><strong>Puzzles For Us</strong> acknowledges our collective debt to the groundbreaking work of Dr. Carter G.

<div>THE 179th ANNIVERSARY OF NAT TURNER’SHEAVENLY VISION CELEBRATED ON THE 5th ANNUALBLACK HISTORY MONTH GATHERING 2/20/10By H. Khalif KhalifahJANUARY 19, 2010SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VA - Nat Turner received a “Heavenly Vision” when he ran away from the Slave Plantation in 1825. He was gone for 30 days. When he returned he got a lot of flack from fellow captives who ridiculed him for voluntarily returning to captivity. Of course they didn’t know what he knew, and as Elder Osirius is fond of saying, “they didn’t know they did not know what they didn’t know.”There is much that we still don’t know about Nat Turner, especially during the time when he ran away. But he told us the things we do know about the time. The things he did allowed him to find his Life Purpose.What he needed to do to fulfill the purpose came in what is commonly referred to as one of the “heavenly visions of Nat Turner.” And it told him that he’d been too concerned about the things of this world. Instead, he must forsake them and “First Seek the Kingdom of Heaven” and all the things he was after would be added.“I heard a loud noise in the heavens, and the Spirit instantly appeared to me and said the serpent was loosened, and Christ had laid down the yoke he had born for the sins of men, and that I should pick it up and fight against the serpent, for the time was fast approaching when the first shall be last and the last shall be first.”The vision made it clear to Nat Turner that what he needed to fulfill his Life Purpose was in the “Kingdom of Heaven.” In this use of the quote from the New Testament, it meant ‘prepare yourself to receive the things that are in The Kingdom of Heaven.’ The vision was the clearest yet that “he was destined for some great purpose in the hands of the Almighty.”Obviously, he was not in position, or condition to receive them when he experienced the vision. But Nat Turner knew what to do to get into position. He was of no doubt that what he wanted would be possible if he had what was in The Heavens: Proper knowledge of self had already told him what he wanted more than anything on earth; that was Freedom, Justice & Equality for himself, his family and fellow captive Black people in the United States of America.After receiving the vision and realizing his Life Purpose, according to Nat Turner, “I spent all my time that was not in service to my master in prayer and mediation.”To get ready he fasted, prayed and meditated to achieve what he wanted more than anything else on earth. He also kept his mouth shut about his Life Purpose. When he had done the things to get ready received a unique Heavenly Vision.This Heavenly Vision came in a solar eclipse on February 12, 1831. The vision told Nat Turner he could confide his purpose to four trusted captives: Nelson, Sam, Hawk, and Henry. He told them what his mission was. They joined on to the mission. From that day on, they were united in an unshakable bond of brotherhood. In the Brotherhood they made careful plans and set a date from which to enact their plans.The date chosen was July 4, 1831. But after all the strategy, and planning for every eventuality they could think of, they could not plan for the unforeseen fact that leading up to July 4, Nat Turner became seriously ill. So at the last minute they had to change the date. They chose as a new date, August 20/21, 1831.Came that August 20, they had one final meeting at a place called Cabin Pond. And after a final strategy session that Sunday evening at Cabin Pond, they began their attack by killing slave owner Joseph Travis, the surrogate owner of Nat Turner. He was surrogate because Nat Turner’s real owner was just a boy.After Killing Joseph Travis and the slave holders family and confiscated his valuables & etc., Nat Turner took the time to form a Black Liberation Army: he gave them the only military training on the Travis Plantation.He and his men then marched in the direction of a place called Jerusalem – visiting death on a carefully chosen series of slave plantations in route. At each plantation they visited, the BLA marching orders were to, free the captives, recruit others into the Army, kill the slave owner and his family, and keep time to get to Jerusalem.THE 5th ANNUAL BLACK HISTORY MONTH GATHERINGThis coming Black History Month, February, 2010, we will revisit the march route of The Black Liberation Army. The date is February 20 to commemorate the 179th anniversary of the Heavenly Vision that released Nat Turner’s secret about his Life Purpose. It will be a prelude to the 5th “Black History Month Gathering Dinner,” and maybe dance.The Tour of the Nat Turner Trail will be conducted for what I estimate to the 2,000th person who have “re-visited” the route to Jerusalem with me. We still have seats on “the bus” so anyone of a mind to really get to know the story about Nat Turner, there is no better way to get the information than to take “The Living History Tour” in Southampton County, Virginia.Previous Black History Month Gatherings have evolved a unique way to collectively Group Teach our history. It will be a pleasant surprise to everyone, except for individuals who have been to one the prior four.The Tour will be $30 per seat, which will include the 5th Annual “Black History Month Gathering & Dinner” in the Nat Turner Reference Library.For more information about the Black History Month Gathering, go to <a href="http://www.khabooks.com">www.khabooks.com</a> Or call 434-378-2140.

He lives on a farm in Southampton County that is reportedly the Birthplace of Nat Turner. He is the author of several books; 2 on the life and Revolt of Nat Turner. He is also the publisher of several hundred books. He next written book will be released on April 29, 2010: “The Acquisition and Proper Use of Power.”</div>
