Rudwaan AmenRa Lumumba ~

    I had the opportunity to attend a well attended activity at The
    Othello Event Hall located just outside Little Afrika at 170 Sylvan
    Rd SW, ATL, Ga. on this evening 10.25.11. Though according to the
    planners this was a last minute, spur of the moment activity, the
    word got out to many heads of the fam via texting, FB, and plain old
    fashion word of mouth.
  
    The theme of the panel of course was centered around Hip Hop as
    Afrika Bambaata is cited as one of the Godfathers of the resurged
    culture now named Hip Hop. Many speakers such as Kalonji of FTP and
    a Unity Council member of the ACC, Sol Messiah a producer, DJ,
    activist and others moderated by our own Minister Server of the Hip
    Hop Temple and a Unity Council Alumni took the Mic and prepared the
    family for the main course served up by Afrika Bambaata. The
    activity was video-taped by Richard Zulu Shabazz, photographer and a
    member of the ACC Unity Council.
    
    Much love to brother Bambaata who took the Mic with humility, void
    of ego, stressed and re-stressed that this is not a popularity
    contest, that even though  he was a personality in his own right
    this wasn't about what he had to say but rather what the family had
    to say, now being that he was the main course and perhaps the real
    reason why so many came out on such short notice, he gave the Mic
    over to the family so that as many as possible could express their
    thoughts, their ideas, express what they were working on and offer
    what they saw as solutions, this is the language of the
    Mbongi, a safe meeting place where Africans can be Africans and
    express themselves to other  Africans about matters concerning
    Africans, this is the work of the African Community Centers, what
    Afrika Bambaata did in his own wisdom, whether wittingly or
    unwittingly was activate an Mbongi if only for the short period of
    time made available by the venue, this is what the Afrikan Community
    Centers is stimulating as a process with the quarterly
    assemblies/Mbongis.
  
    Much love to brother Bambaata who pointed out that one of the main
    reasons the 'Luciferians' were able to hijack Hip Hop from its
    creators is because they formed think tanks that came
    together and talked and thought and talked and thought and talked
    and thought until their thinking gave way to a solution that would
    be put into action by those whose role it is to act, but before such
    action which was effortless, not a struggle, was enacted, they
    talked and thought and talked and thought, of course we did not see
    them talking and thinking we only saw the Recording companies
    acting. The African Community Centers have already provided this
    process to us in the form of Think Tanks, where do you think the
    'Luciferians got it from? Africans knew from the beginning that it
    is the thought that produces the action, and when the thought is
    complete the action is effortless, we are caught up in a struggle
    and bow down to the struggle as if we were born to struggle because
    we have not completed the thought process. The African Community
    Centers currently has the

      African Centered Education Think Tank (ACETT) up and running
    with a mission to think through to solution how to enable
    the African Centered Education institutions to connect the dots
    between them, to engender Functional Unity between them. The African
    Community centers currently has the Health and Wellness Think
      Tank (HAWTT)up and running with a mission to think through to
    solution how to enable the Wholistic practitioners to
    connect the dots and engender Functional Unity amongst themselves,
    the Economics Think Tank is functioning with 10-10-50 as its
    tool, the Media Think Tank is on the horizon, and there are
    at least(6) more Think Tanks that need volunteers to fam up, you
    heard Bambaata, they form Think Tanks that think of how to enslave
    us, to mis-educate us, to steal our resources, do you not think it
    was a European Think tank that that thought up the Berlin
    Conference, do you think they just all naturally gathered around a
    table and agreed on a strategy"? these klans that have been tearing
    at each other's throat for a piece of meat suddenly practiced
    Functional Unity in such a way that the original people are still
    suffering from 'shock and awe'? do you really think that? WAKE UP!!
   
    And finally much more love to brother Bambaata who spoke of the fact
    that we need Unity, that this is what it would take for us
    to get back to our Kilimanjaro, this is where he turned the Mic over
    to the family and begged for solutions to this lack of Unity. But
    often times we fail to see that the solution is in the very
    definition of the problem, that if the problem is a lack of unity
    then the solution must be no-lack of unity. But I submit to you my
    family that our problem is not a lack of Unity, consider that on an
    annual basis the African Community here in the USA spends about a
    Trillion dollars, family that is Unity, it is our financial Unity
    Functioning for someone else not for us, so our lack is our Unity is
    not Functioning for us, this is the crucial lynch-pin that the
    African Community Centers is stimulating as a process, currently our Unity is
    dys-functional as it does not serve our purpose, it does not lead to
    the natural occurrence of our power,
    without power we are incapable of having total control over our destiny, our human
    and material resources, without this total control we cannot ensure
    our welfare, and if we cannot
    ensure our welfare we cannot claim sovereignty,
    the African Community Centers has identified that it is the
    effective use of systems that
    draws common principals working on behalf of our people together
    that refocuses our Unity to Function for us, and away from
    functioning for those who do not have our best interest at heart.
    The Mbongis held every quarter is a system, the Think Tanks are a
    system, 10-10-50 is a system, the Unity Calendar is a system and
    there are others that you can find on the website www.Unity4power.org 

    The African Community Centers is not an action-oriented organization
    we have enough of those, systems enable those organizations and
    institutions and businesses with the same overall objective, going
    in the same direction like birds flying south for the winter to go
    into formation in order to endure the long flight to Kilimanjaro, as
    such we are not in competition with action oriented organizations,
    we are the scientists in the lab talking and thinking talking and
    thinking talking and thinking to solutions to enable those action
    oriented scientists to see the forest for the trees, to connect the
    dots by proffering systems that
    re-focus Functional Unity that
    naturally enables Power to Control our destiny to provide for
    our welfare and thus claim our
    Sovereignty. Go now to www.unity4power.org and go
    thru the functional unity flowchart, if you agree with this
    thought-process then endorse it, you are not joining yet another
    organization merely activating your inherent membership.

    And lastly family, it is not rhetorical just because we talk, it is
    rhetorical that we keep re-inventing the wheel, ignoring what is in
    place simply because you didn't think about it first, because you
    will not be the CEO of this or that, because it doesn't flow the way
    you want it to flow, I submit that all of the splinter religions
    that formed simply because someone wanted to be in charge is
    rhetorical, I submit that forming yet another organization that does
    the same thing in the same way as that other organization that could
    have used your help is rhetorical. So let's cease and desist this
    self-defeating attitude that movements such as the ACC don't do
    enough and respect our mission which is to think about what we are
    doing and find ways to enable those doers to connect the dots and
    thus re-focus our Unity to be Functional unto us, this is the way to
    Kilimanjaro, this is the way home.

    
    these are my thoughts on what I heard and felt at the event and I
      am sticking to them
    

    To Kilimanjaro then!
