Love the response speech of Obama however, that sermon was preach in 2003 so why is it being brought up today? Obama wasn’t even at the service or attending the church at that time. I think this is another tactic of the media…changing focus the real issues of politics. Regardless the Reverend was telling the truth and unfortunately the truth hurts.

A Few Points and 1 Reasonable Request:
1. The Reasonable Request: Concrete Loop should keep this post at the top of the site for the rest of the week. I have love for this site and completely understand the entertainment and political angles you represent, but this is not a speech and topic that should fade from our memory in favor of who looks better in this dress. I am a teenager of the 80s and the south — and a proud recipient of a historically black college education in the 90s. In college, we had numerous discussions about issues just like these — but our discussions always existed in a vacuum of an empty classroom, a candle-lit, Malcolm X poster’d dorm room– like I’m sure many of us here have experienced and felt. While we openly, honestly and passionately discussed race and conspiracy theories, the apathy of black folk, and why MLK or Malcolm X’s voices were eliminated so soon– we also too recognized our voices could carry but so far. We wondered who could bring Black America to a place where it could discuss its’ issues and begin the process of healing? If someone told me we’d know in 2008, I’d say “I’d have to see it to believe it”. Yet, this morning I believed it. Black America, it is time to look at our issues beyond the scope of our theories and again look at the facts that keep many in our community in an endless cycle of: poverty, drugs, gangs, un-wed pregnancy, high-school drop out, crime, and the list goes on… Sure, some of this is a result of discrimination, but not all. As Spike Lee said in “Do The Right Thing” — “WAKE UP”. Once the minority in black America, who have grown up or lived the middle and/or upper class life, realize the majority of us continue to live in poverty and that it’s not the ghetto’s problem, but our problem — then we can truly realize we can do more together, than we can apart. Anyway, I digress– I could write a book on this, but I need to keep it moving for the next point.
2. Barack Obama wrote this speech himself. As he has written many of his “stump speeches”. He approached his Aides and told them he wanted to do this speech and stayed up until 2am Sunday morning writing this. And, the icing — the man memorized the speech. Oh, wait — there’s a pattern of him doing this– this–this “audacity” of giving a speech that he’s able to memorize — check Youtube and look up his 2004 Democratic National Convention Speech and also the speech he delivered to the Democratic Party to announce he was running. No one speaks to the fact that this man rarely looks down at a piece of paper when he talks as I’ve seen countless politicians do, his present company not excluded. Or the fact that he WRITES his own speeches. How is this possible if he is such an “empty suit” with no substance?? When you really stop to think about it how many of us could have given a speech like this before America– how many of our un-appointed “official” Black Leaders could have– and not f’ed it up??? I’ve heard some say it reminds them of Dr. King’s famous “Letters From Birmingham”. I can see that, but I have a different take: it reminds me of Malcolm X as he spoke before the UN and stated to the UN that Black Injustice was not a black issue, it was a human issue– that speech made many MX many allies in other countries who agreed– and made him a foe to the U.S. government.
3. And keeping with this Malcolm X statement — his book, “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” is a must-read for anyone who has not read it. I read it at 18 and it had a profound effect on me to seek truth, not theory. Malcolm X said a few things that I am reminded of now [and I paraphrase]:
–If you ever want to know what’s happening in the world right now, go to a college campus. If there is apathy on a college campus, there is apathy in the world.
Right now in 2008 there’s action, activism and a feeling of change in the air on college campuses, which means (fill in the blank)…
He also said people curse because we are simply too lazy to find other words to replace them.
When this man went to prison he learned the entire dictionary just to expand his vocabulary (I’m sure the cynics will say because he had the time, which is also true ;-). My point– it’s time for some of us to expand our vocabulary.
So, I also hope Barack Obama’s presence and speech today begins to help us turn the page on more than just issues we feel we are a victim of and too, but also the page on the “Cool Pose” (another book you should read) mentality and ideology that prevents us from truly connecting with one another. Time to lay down the “hard” shields and search for the equality in one another. That’s my peace.

I saw Barak over the weekend in Plainfield, IN and I thought….this man is the truth and if anyone continues to have an doubts in his capabilities you/they need to just LISTEN to him for YOURSELF. But after this speech I realizes he’s more than just the truth…he just IS….Obama embodies everything that represents the struggle in America. It’s not a black thing, it’s not a white thing…his message, his plight…it’s just the RIGHT THING!
He is not only CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN, but he’s change we need to get involved in!! OBAMA IN 08!!

Curiosity
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 /
I have never liked Obama’s empty message of change, his call for bipartisanship, or his policies, especially on the environment, where he is completely backward. That said, I understand his position about race and that blacks (the ones descended from enslaved people, not Obama) and whites live in a very different America, for the most part. It’s the land of opportunity for whites and the land of oppression for many black people. Despite that, black Americans have served their country and been proud citizens. Obama is the son of an immigrant, as he said, and a white woman, also the descendant of immigrants. He had opportunities born of the immigrant experience, which in America has been upwardly mobile for the most part. Certainly he has faced bigotry because of the color of his skin, but his background and his family’s educational level also prepared him for reaching high. This speech is once again a fence sitting position that he always seems to take. He likes being the son of immigrants (see, I am more like the whites than the blacks) but he doesn’t want to lose the black vote, so he doesn’t cut off Rev. Wright. The problem isn’t mine, he says. The problem is YOURS.
Hey, how did Rev. Wright, who is Obama’s chosen spiritual leader, become my problem and not his? Yes, we have to hold Rev. Wright on our collective backs. He can’t blame Hillary Clinton or John McCain this time, so it’s OUR FAULT.
Nice try. less

@22:Shag: Be like the jews: Never, never forget, but use your history as fuel to succeed, not revenge.
**************************************************************
The jews use their history for revenge. But their “revenge” comes in the form of demanding and receiving monetary reparations, not in exacting blood from their perpetrators.
Barack’s Speech:
I thought it was one of the most eloquent, moving, powerful speeches I had ever heard. He said what he felt needed to be said not what people(white) wanted him to say.
I was watching CNN last night and Campbell Brown said something that really ticked me off. She said, “Barack Obama has run a successful campaign without addressing race, but it appears that he is being forced to address race at this time.”
I yelled at the t.v.” BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE WON’T LET RACE DIE”. Media people, the Clintons, even some blacks, keep wanting this campaign to be about race. Barack never did.
I almost felt sorry for Barack yesterday because he shouldn’t have had to give a speech, but he was caught between “a rock and a hard place” and whites knew it.

@42: I think those are the white people who were voting for what they thought was “safe” Obama. They weren’t voting for the man but the idea of having a black man in the WH and to prove they aren’t racist.
I was on the Wall Street Journal site and those are some angry white people. One even had the nerve to say she was tired of the “white guilt” and “wasn’t going to take it anymore”.
I’m thinking, so what are you going to do?

I think he had to address it, but his speak was wonderful and very moving. You can tell he’s working hard not to alienate anyone, but what he’s talking about relates to most middle class americans, who make up the majority of this country’s economic status. I really hope he wins…Hillary fall back!

It was reported that Obama DID NOT write the speech by himself. Still doesn’t take away from the message but if you’re going to use that as some sort of point it should be clarified.

After watching Obama’s speech several times I can’t help but get more and more inspired and appreciate him as a person and a leader even more. As someone pointed out neither of the current candidates have “experience” in leading a country or a company for that matter. Hillary Clinton worked to improved health care, and several other important issues since she was a teenager. Barack Obama worked in Chicago to improve living conditions and give a voice to the voiceless. John McCain served his country to the highest degree while in the service.
Given their backgrounds, what they have done recently (politically) and what they have done and continue to do during their campaign for the presidency, there are obviously several reasons to consider for electing the next president of the United States. Barack Obama is what this country needs at this time to heal itself and its relationship with the world. With today’s media scrutinizing and criticizing every thing a public figure says and does, America has lost respect for the President. I’m not talking about the person who is in office; I’m talking about role of the president, what the position means symbolically.
It is largely due to Barack Obama that voters are turning out in record breaking numbers. Barack is uniting people across all color lines, classes, races, & ethnicities. In time of adversity Barack Obama remains to appear strong, confident, and intelligent. We already know that Bush has done a pretty good job of damaging America and that the next president will have more than their fair share to clean up his mess.
One of my fears going into this campaign was that even if Barack or Hillary gets elected president, America and the very influential ones won’t let them accomplish what they set out to. That they’ll fall back into the business as usual routine. I believe now that Obama will actually bring about the change he’s been talking about in his speeches. Notice however that anytime an issue comes out with Barack Obama he faces it head on but Hillary Clinton will eithier deny deflect or defer when confronted. There is much more to her than she’s letting on and I feel that if she’s elected president we’ll find out once its too late.

Nice speech and all, but I still have yet to hear about what type of “change” this man is promising. He says it’s time for a change…what change? This is ridiculous, this speech did not help him…it possibly made his chances worse.

It’s ironic to me that some of these talk shows bring on people (not necessarily just blacks) to talk about events concerning race and racism and as soon as these talking heads are called out or not hearing what they want to hear they cut them off and move on to the next segment: it’s a talk show but they have no time to talk. They aren’t helping the situation and are making it worse.

Barack Obama attempted to explain why people feel the way they do and examine the roots of America’s racial divide. He also challenged people to look into their hearts and examine their feelings and then make a choice. Choose to begin a dialogue and start working toward helping this country to live up to its potential or choose to do nothing and still be angry next year and the after that and the year after that….. There are hundreds if not thousands of people who have built careers (and made a lot of money) exploiting the racial and religious divides in this country. Nothing Obama said yesterday would have satisfied them or their most loyal supporters. He is a threat to their power and people don’t give up power easily. For the states that have yet to vote like my own (PA) I sincerely hope that cooler heads prevail. I know I can’t wait to vote for this man. OBAMA 08!!!!

It’s a double edged sword; years ago a Black person couldn’t be elected president because they’re Black; now some people are saying that the only reason Obama is winning is because he IS Black. Which way is it? Seems like Obama has been going out of his way to avoid the race issue in the election but all it took was one preacher to blow everything up.

Mister Anderson
“….All three of them are INEXPERIENCED because none of them have executive experience but they’re running for CEO of the United States. None of them have ever owned or operated a small or large business. None of them have ever held a executive or higher rank in the United States military (no, a Captain in the Air Force is not a executive position McCain). And none of them has held a executive position on the municipal, state, or Federal level. And while in Congress, none of the three have took such large initiatives and been successful in relation to the Truman Committee. Those in Congress typically lack executive experience which is why no one from Congress has been elected President since JFK…..almost 50 years ago.”
ACTUALLY, there has been presidents who were elected after serving in Congress–Nixon and the first Bush, both served in the US Congress prior to living in the white house. So, I guess you need to fire your fact checkers.
The fact is that in order to debate about these issues, we need to make some clarification. We’ve got two candidates touting “experience” but what is experience? And more importantly, what experience counts. The reality is if Hillary is claiming 35 years of experience (from her post college year until now) than Obama can claim 25 years. And if you are going to hammer on the 10 years difference, than think about the fact that over 16 years ago, in 1992, when Hillary and Bill could only claim 19 years of “experience serving this country” she successfully helped her husband get into the White house. Secondly, Obama served on the Illinois State Legislator for almost 10 years before running for his current Senate seat. Therefore, he actually has MORE legislative experience than Hillary. Also, in all of McCain’s years of “serving” this country he still is admittedly not real strong in economics. This coming from a man who is running for the presidency of a nation who is in a financial turmoil and who’s greatest concern is the economy and not how we are going to win the war in Iraq, but how are we going to end and how are we going to survive its assault on our national treasury?
Now, Obama is young. But, I do believe his work (as a community organizer) and his record in politics (a student of the legislative process, seeking to find ways to serve his constituents effectively and ethically) makes him an excellent candidate for the presidency. If he the perfect candidate-NO! He said so himself. But to dismiss anyone from the race because they imperfect or not ideal is too raise your hand and say, “hey I’ve giving up. there is no hope.” Many people feel that way and will never trust a politician. And I understand that. But by not expecting more, we are basically giving slimy politicians the right to lie to our faces and steal from our pockets. Now, while I do believe Hillary, as the first female president, would offer the country change. And while I do believe she is competent and capable of running this country, and while I don’t feel like she is as destructive as Bush and Cheney, the fact that she has employed some many Republican and dirty political methods, makes me feel as though she’ll be more of the same just in a skirt (or should I say pants suit). She is about closed door smoke fill room meetings where issues are dealt with while under the table deals are negotiated at the expense of the people. Obama is about transparency and about getting his hands dirty. He makes great speeches, but he has a farther reaching record than most candidates (or politicians) when it comes to going into the community and getting things done, for the people and with the people. He’s the type to sit down with the community to work towards their goals. She calls a board meeting and comes back with a solution she “thinks” will work, while refusing to keep the same people she is “working for” a part of the discussion and decision making process. McCain, he…um…asks Bush.
Now, while none has had the Executive experience you spoke of, what does it matter. Most of our previous and greatest presidents NEVER had any executive experience (Lincoln, JFK, Adams). And what does executive experience afford you? Bush owed several companies…they all failed, but he owed them. Bush had 2 terms in office…the second one was just as crappy as the first, but hey he could say he had experience. Bidden, Dodd, and Richardson has loads more experience than any other current candidates, but apparently that didn’t make them viable. Poor little Huckabee was a Governor, as was Romey…look at them now. It seems like people who are screaming “experience” are more actually dealing in resume fillers. I mean how many people work with someone who has been in their jobs for 30 plus years and you who just got there look at them and think “damn, how are you this retarded?”
Nonetheless, I real point when it comes to experience, is even when you have it, does it come at some expense? What I see in Hillary and in McCain, is while they have “experience” its made them into exactly the kind of politician that has turned off so many voters over the years and has made many Americans so distrustful of what anyone in the political areana says. They are the “experienced” politicians that make it so that even when an elected official stands up and says what we all KNOW to be true, like Obama did in this speech, people are too jade to even listen to what was said. I think America need Obama. We need a change. We need someone who is gonna lay things out on the street and toil to get things done so that EVERYONE can see. We need someone smart enough to surround himself with experts, and smart enough to engage in an intellectual discussion about national policy and decision. We need someone who will able to engage this country like its never has been engaged before. We need someone who can face issues head on, and not get in front of the mic at a press conference he called on the state of the economy and when asked about the possibility that gas will go over $4/gallon respond, “Oh, I haven’t heard that.” We need someone who hasn’t seen their income increase 100 fold to millionaire status tell us that she (nor anyone on her staff…not even her daughter) has the time to photocopy 8 years of tax years. And don’t forget about McCain. We still have yet to see his taxes either. We need Obama.

I for one, am so tired of all the Race issues that the media has inundated us with during this primary. They’re so focused on Obama’s race, that I’m not sure anyone knows or remembers any of the issues the candidates are running on. I find it sad that Obama had to make such a speech to explain who he is and address comments by his former pastor. No one has asked Hillary or John McCain to give a speech explaining their whiteness.
Also, I don’t get all the outrage about Rev Wrights comments…..from what I’ve seen and heard of his speeches, I can’t really disagree with anything he said. He spoke from the perspective of what his generation has experienced in this country. And as far as his comments regarding America is getting what it deserves, he is correct, in my opinion. You can not continue to try to impart your will on other nations and not expect some sort of retaliation at some point. Why do many Americans feel that acknowledging this countries short comings equates to being Anti-American. If you continue to stick your head in the sand and act as though all is well, we are doomed to make the same mistakes in the future and we will never move toward healing America’s reputation with foreign countries and thereby increasing our safety.
I noticed that Foxnews commentators last night stated that the Rev Wright issue will doom Obama’s candidacy because it shows a lack of judgement on his part. Well if we are making arguments as to one’s readiness for presidency based on judgement then you can make the argument that all 3 candidates lack judgement (Obama for remaining a member of Rev Wright’s church and Hillary & John for voting for the war; or what about Hillary’s judgement for staying with a cheating spouse). So the argument then becomes, who has the better judgement.
Again, I’m really not sure why Obama is being villified for statements made by another individual. I think the media and opponents to his candidacy have been waiting and salivating for something, anything to bring his candidacy to an end and unfortunately they may have succeeded. I enjoyed his speech yesterday and thought it was heartfelt, sincere and brave. I don’t think it’s going to change anyone’s opinion of him….if you liked him before, you probably still do and if you didn’t, you probably still don’t.
He absolutely has my vote, but I hate to say it, I don’t think he’ll get the nomination. That being said, I do think if Hillary is the nominee, John McCain will be the next president. Yes it’s important to vote on a candidates issues, but you also have to account for electibility and I believe that Hillary Clinton comes with too much baggage from her husband’s presidency that the Republicans will exploit. I’ve heard that the Republicans are hoping she is the Democratic candidate and I’m afraid they are right, so we’ll be welcoming President McCain come November.
The preceding are just my thoughts and mine alone. And no matter who you vote for, just vote and please, please, please do not let the media bamboozle you into second guessing who you support and why you support them.

This speech was wonderful for him in that it tapped into the market that he’s been trying to tap into and has successfully tapped into, the simple-minded. I agree that this speech is akin to Martin Luther King’s speech in that both speeches were probably written by their Jewish backers and both will be referenced for many years without either one having any effect on society in the least. I personally believe that the only reason why Obama even joined Rev. Wright’s congregation in the first place was to establish a standing in the black community so that he could validate his “blackness” for the subsequent presidential run that we’re witnessing. People with grand aspirations and backing do things 25 years ahead. Rev. Wright is no longer necessary, so he can basically have a nice day, continue to be a “demagogue”, and preach his “division” and “hate”. In modern day, politically-correct America when one tells the truth and the drones cannot refute it, they get called “ignorant”, so what will be will be. The operative thing for Obama was that he distanced himself from Rev. Wright without looking as if he’s doing what he did, which is throw the reverend under the bus. That should be, but won’t be, a sign to our people that think that Obama will be anything but a figurehead negro that he can’t be anything but that because a politician is compromised, no matter what race he/she is.
I’d be surprised if this speech, in regards to race relations and highlighting his disparate views from his alleged reverend, was not meticulously prepared months ago, if not years. Like it’s been said by the few black people that see what is going on, Obama must appeal to the most powerful demographic, that being whites. He, and his backers, know that black people are easily deceived and manipulated so dealing with them is never a problem. Blacks want to love whites and more importantly, black people want white people to love them, so black support will never be a real issue for Obama as long as black people feel like he will be a catalyst to attaining that white love. Most black people view unity within their own community as irrelevant compared to unity with “all races”, (the white man) so as long as they have that mentality, they will never have to be taken seriously.
The portion of his speech where he shrewdly sympathized with white, systemic racism was the real crux of his message. That’s why Obama (or whoever crafted the speech); at the end of his speech had the old negro say, “I’m here for Ashley.”. Imagine his speech having a portion where an old white woman said, “I’m here for Raheem.”, lol. Never in a billion years. That would imply that white people should be concerned with black, particularly black male, issues and problems. that’s not possible. The point that Obama is making therefore is that the black male must look past his indignation to put the pain of whites over his own tribulations. That’s what he was cryptically saying and that is why so many real black males distrust him. Most of the black males that support him are usually effeminate, and just like Obama, cannot expound and why they want him in office with using broad, obtuse terminology. The people in power know that, for the most part, the black woman is for this society. The point is to alienate and ostracize the black male and make him think that his feelings are irrelevant and thusly that he is irrelevant. This is why the black male, in my opinion, acts out and rebels against this society through crime and violence against his own brother. He doesn’t want to bow down but he doesn’t know where his power is at.
Obama must show his white voters that he will not be a “black” president. That’s what many of our people refuse to grasp, they’re so caught up in all this fantastical nonsense. What type of constructive dialogue involving “race” does he think to engage in with a “mutual understanding” being reached? The whole idea is ridiculous and the only black people that think of this as a viable option are house negroes. The point of engaging in any discussion on any topic is the presumption that both sides have a common goal, just a different perspective or vision. I don’t believe that whites or the other races view unity with blacks as a priority in the least. Only black people do. Why do black people have to bargain for respect? Other posters referenced the white Jews. The white jews to this day will put a Nazi on trial and hang him. They don’t bargain with a Nazi. The white Jews control most aspects of this society and government and they still take what they want, including the land of Israel and will bring down governments and entire religions if they have to. They also teach all other races to come together while they separate themselves and count their money. Obama cited the scriptures and correctly associated our people with Ezekiel 37th chapter, but when Moses went before Pharaoh in the book of Exodus, there was no talk or negotiation. There was the understanding that the Israelites would remain in captivity and subservient as long as they relied on the Egyptians, so they had to depart to serve their God properly (Exodus 4:21-23). That’s going to happen again through Christ, and the reason why Obama’s speech writer’s compared the blacks to the Israelites is because they know who our people are. That also was cryptic.

I just have to say :
1. I am pro-Obama, but theres things that people need to realize…
…He doesnt write his own speeches. People HAVE to know that!… He has people that write his speeches in defense to him. He tell them the jist of what he wants written but thats about it….
…The pastor is IGNORANT, He blamed the 9/11 incident on HOMOSEXUALS! , telling America that WE AS PEOPLE and because of the GOV. DESERVED TO HAVE ATTACKS.He had no sympathy for the PEOPLE LOST. I understand black culture and how black churches are, but if you insist that all black people say ignorant things like that in church, you obviously are ignorant too! and really only feel the need to vote for obama JUST BECAUSE hes Black!.
…People need to look into the real situation and stop feeding off of the media. Make your own opinion on real facts….
…Im GLAD he made that speech in defense to the pastor situation because he needed to explain to those that are unaware of everything thats going on and how he plans on dealing with it. Because if he cant dig out of this hole, he wont be able to handle real issues of America!..

Barack Obama courts the white and jewish vote, but sits in a church for 20 years listening to a pastor who rants against these groups and condemns the U.S? (Pastor Wright says: “God d*mn America”) It seems hypocritical and shows poor judgement. Obama’s speech yesterday, though eloquent, comes too late to be seen as sincere. less

I saw this comment on another site…
“The “Audacity of Politicians” should be his next book. Here is a man who, only yesterday, tried to explain his “lack of judgement” for listening and not challenging his mentor who hates America, and think we created Aids to kill blacks,and want to damn this country and did not leave because it was politically convenient for him lecturing Hillary on Judgment. How ironic.
Let’s not forget he is also the man who did not realize that Rezko was a con. Judgment is not Obama’s strong suit and he should stop mentioning in his speech. Sooner or later people are going to realize that a man who is clueless about the people around him and turn a blind eye to their faults because its suits his interests is not fit to deal with world leaders who will have him for breakfast. This country deserve more a than president who can speak well, we deserve a president who knows what’s happening..”

This simply means reports came out from 2 angles: Angle 1: He wrote his speeches. Angles 2: He did not write his speeches.
What I read reported that he wrote his speeches himself. Hey, if you write a book and have a ghost writer edit it — guess what, you still get credit. It’s thousands of books like this. In fact, the Holy Bible had many uncredited authors– all we know are the ones we see listed.
Besides, I do not blindly believe he had no help with his speeches, but the one yesterday had a strong theme and voice throughout that clearly shows the thought of one mind.
But, this is a free country — you are entitled to believe he did not write the speeches. Me, I’ll give the man credit even if he wrote 50% and speech writers did the other 50, because some politicians are never involved in their speeches, and most of the time don’t even come across as even being familiar with the words that are written for them (can we say “Bush”).

You should read the actual transcript of the speech. Perhaps that will help to expand your American and world view. I do have a question for you: What do you consider a “full” call for change, since you refer that Obama’s is “empty”. And do you apply that same “full” call for change to Clinton and McCain, since that seems to be one of your bars or standards for voting for a candidate? I for one have not heard one “full” call– not I take that back, both Obama and Clinton have called for a “full” change as it relates to the Iraq war, both Obama and Clinton have called for a “full” change when it comes to Healthcare and aren’t we here on this blog discussing Obama’s “full” change that’s needed for racial reconciliation in this country? Or is your current worldview limiting you from at least recognizing any of this? None of us should, and more than likely think or believe, one–ONE– politician can solve all of America’s issues or be burdened with the task of doing so. Hey, if you don’t like Obama’s message or the change he has called for it’s okay– and if you don’t like his background, or his speeches, it’s okay. There were many who thought Slavery was good for America, that Jim Crow was good for America too. I am not likening or diminishing you or your thoughts to either of these two events, I am just illustrating a point. There is a yin and a yang to all in life. Some people will see the good, some people will see the bad. I believe that with all the contradictions that Obama has, as we all do is what makes us definitively human. Who you vote for is your decision. My vote stays with Obama. That’s my peace.

@ VTRELL 107: Thank you for enlightening us about this mess with the “You Tube” on Obama speech. We ALL need to really take a stand. We cannot let those idiots do this to us… Also, I hate that Obama had to adress this 2003 issue now. It was never addressed during his Senetorial race. SMH…Of course this was well placed by privatre investigators for the Republican side…. Hilliary… I think this is going to cost Obama’s nomination.This is why I really don’t agree with church giving opions about politics… Rev. Wright speech that Obama had to adresss, sadly this is what is going to cost him the nomination for the Dems…

@ Judah
While you are an intelligent person, you are also very PARANOID to the point where you are clearly biased in terms of issues involving black men. Clearly you took many features of the speech out of context to fit YOUR OWN THEORY. When you yourself are prejudice, you only hear the things that supports your own personal ideology and feelings. Example: You stated the following:
“The point that Obama is making therefore is that the black male must look past his indignation to put the pain of whites over his own tribulations.”
_____________________________________________________________________
And I agree….however to stop there, and not make mention that Obama clearly urged ALL races to put aside their hurt, pain, and resentment, to work toward a solution, and to not use the past issues between the races as DISTRACTIONS, which are what they truly are at the end of the day.
See Judah, while you are bright and insightful, you are also prejudice and so jaded in some ways. It screams paranoia….you are the primary picture of that intelligent black man on the street whom we pass everyday, who we evitably believe is “crazy” and who gives brilliant speeches about the plight of the black man, and where GOD falls into that, however, YOU NEVER EVER EVER highlight solutions….No, you like to complain, pick apart, highlight and leave, and sunder away, leaving your message of impending doom and what this means for the “black man.” You seem to have absolutely NO empathy for women, and other minority groups. Sure you highlight facts about other racial groups, but where’s your sympathy and understanding and demand for justice for those groups?…..
You make deliberate attempts to discredit Obama, while trying to appear as a “commentator”, merely breaking down the facts. Your whole response was riddled with accusations, speculations, and “i believes”, which basically equals no credibility. Everything Obama said in this speech was very plain, and nothing was “cryptic” as you put it…..how do YOU determine something to be cryptic? He didn’t use excessively evasive words..perhaps the “cryptic” portions were actually the paranoid theories trapped in your own mind, nobody else heard it, stop trying to plant seeds….
AND TO EVERYONE THAT COSIGNED JUDAH’S STATEMENT AND THOSE WHO AT THE SAME TIME ENJOYED ENJOYED OBAMA’S SPEECH, UM, HE JUST CALLED YOUR DUMB ASSES “SIMPLE MINDED.” PLEASE GO BACK AND REFER TO POST 99 - FIRST SENTENCE……

I called him out on this before. A typical JUDAH post goes something like this:
- I think I’m black but I have seeded despise for Africans
- I am not for integration, unless it’s Blacks + Hispanics
- “My people” are the chosen ones — however ethnically mixed up they are
- Black women are cohorts of the white man and the status quo
- I can’t stand white people but I embrace the religion they forced on me
- Flashes of aimless rhetoric
- Corroboration of theories with bible verses
- No solutions whatsoever
- Damn you all, the end is near.

This isn’t simple logic — it’s fact. Contact book publishers, they’ll confirm the fact. And in the entertainment Industry — in all movies– there are often dozens of writers who go uncredited all the time (another fact). And, again I mention look at the Bible.
As a matter of fact, without looking it up online, name Bush’s speechwriter (as I’m sure you’ve heard something the man has said in the last 8 years). My point exactly. If it’s all about crediting speech writers, then those would be the names we know as well, if not better than the people they write for.
So, if you’d rather equate my words to “laying roses” at Obama’s feet, you have completely missed the point. My God is in heaven and my roses are sitting on my table in a vase ;-). But, hey, it’s not my duty to persuade you. It’s simply my duty to educate you on a factual part of the writing industry that existed long before Obama and will continue to exist long after Obama. And again, my vote stays with… Barack Obama — 50% and all.

@ICU2
Wait a minute, lmao, who the hell are you? You don’t feed into my “nonsense” but you mentioned my name on two idiotic posts, and my comment obviously set off a spark in your normally dormant brain. Let me ask you a question, what is a house negro? Break that down for me and expound on it, if you can. I tire of people commenting on my comments as if I seek the commendation of other people. I also tire of buffoons attacking people that happen to agree with me because my comments make simple-minded people irate. I notice that confusion loves company and many of these politically minded black people hate it when you won’t partake in the same false hopes and wishes that drive them. They really think that arguing over Obama and Hillary is intelligent conversation, lol. The reason why the people that agree with me, happen to agree with me, is because there are a certain amount of people that will not fall for the perpetual tricks of this society, will put the Lord first in the spirit of truth, and will not bow down the knee to conventional (lack of) sensibility. The Lord said not to conform to this world because it will pervert your mind as it obviously has yours. I have no respect for people that cannot expound on their opinions, so unless you can, please ignore me.
@Kmniles
Brother, I thought we agreed that you were going to ignore me, lol? You just couldn’t resist huh? At least you’re a loyal fan. Let me ask you something. As a so-called black “man” that embraces integrationism, assimilation, and all races coming together, why do you believe that the white man forced the Bible on us? Maybe you and “Unreal” can bump your minds together and flesh out that urban legend for me. That really shouldn’t even be an issue for you if you love everybody. Are you saying that you have to love white people because they’re the ones that taught you about their version of Christ? I don’t think that you’re smart enough to know how stupid you are in all honesty. If you read, knew, and UNDERSTOOD the Word of the Lord you would be able to tell truth from fiction and everything would become much clearer. What is your historical proof for this forced conversion of black people to adherence of the Bible? Do you know any history, either biblical or conventional, in the least to make that claim? To say this, and believe it, would mean that you’re saying that the Israelites of the Bible were caucasian and that Christ was caucasian which only an idiot believes. Are you saying that you’re an idiot, lol? The Bible tells us that both the Israelites and Christ were negroes. The fact that whites have changed their image and the message of the scriptures doesn’t defile the scriptures, it defiles them. One thing I notice about the house negro is that they claim blackness when suitable and then integrational unity when it suits them.
@UNREAL
What’s with all these people talkin’ about how they’ve “called me out”. When was this? Let me ask you a question. How does a typical “Unreal” post go? I couldn’t tell you and I don’t think you could either, lol. In regards to this nonsense about me never offering a solution, that comment reveals something about yourself and the other negroes that claim that. The “solution” for our people’s issues will not come from mankind or a man. The problems were caused by God and they will be resolved by the Most High and Christ. I’ve said that repeatedly to all that have asked me that question, and obviously, that answer is not good enough so people contrive some madness about no “solution” being offered. That statement of a man providing the “solution” for millions of black people proves that you and your ilk look to Obama as a savior for the black race. The man has never billed himself as such and has no intention of being that. Once again, black people are setting themselves up for disappointment. This is why when a black person is not for Obama, that makes them a “house negro” according to the real house negro, lol. Any negro that is a part of this system, especially as high as Obama, is an agent (knowingly or unknowingly)for the system and will do nothing to assist black people. Alot of black people are, quite honestly, exceptionally delusional.
I hear and read silly, so-called “pro-black”, negroes like yourself ranting about the Africans and unity with the Africans. How many Africans are members of so-called “pro-black” organizations in America? How many Africans have reached out to American blacks in fellowship or brotherhood here in America? This is why the white man deflects all culpability for this captivity by saying that the “Africans” sold us here, because it’s the truth. Ask an African what the word “akata” means and listen to what they say. Are you a sister or an effeminate negro? Certain people get offended by certain things that I say, but its always the same type of people that come against me. You should take a cue from “Mrs. AKA”. If you want to know why I said something, just ask. We don’t have to agree. Don’t make an ass of yourself by trying to put words in my mouth when you’re not on the intellectual or spiritual level to speak for me. You don’t know the Bible so there’s no way that anything I say can go anywhere except over your head. What’s with this fascination that these pseudo-intellectual house negroes have with speaking for me and trying to be my hype men, lol? Carnally minded people hate to ask questions because their driving force is their pride. Are you one of those blacks that worships Egyptian gods and says “It all comes from Egypt!!!”, lol? Just a question. Another question. If I asked you what your human solution for a racial problem was, what would you say? After I refuted and shut down your vain nonsense, what would you say after that?

@MRS. AKA
The reason why he made that comment about “Ashley” and the old black man is because it is understood that the closing of a speech is what is left in people’s mind’s the most. What he wanted to leave the viewing and listening audience with is the assertion that black men especially, and black people in general, must put aside the constant oppression and be ready to put the wants of whites first. In other words, if whites were worried that blacks would be out of control under his charge, that is not going to happen. This was supposed to comfort his white following. That spiel about white people and the other races putting their differences aside was for show but he had to say it to cover himself. He wouldn’t dare tell the white jews to put aside their differences in deference to the Arabs because they give him his marching orders. Notice that the only fire that he showed in the entire speech was his assertion that the fault of Middle East conflicts lie with the “Muslim fundamentalist extremists” and not the jews, showing that he is a Zionist. Like I said, he could care less about the blacks because he knows that as long as he speaks deceiving words, black people will believe him (Prov 14:15). It’s the whites that he must court. A blind person can see that you can only expect equal treatment and reaction from two groups that have been treated the same and endured the same experience. That was a slap in the face to black people but, as usual, our people couldn’t pick up on it. This is also how you know that that nonsense about “real racial talk” is disingenuous.
In regard to the scriptures, the reason why Obama likened our people unto the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37th chapter and to the Exodus is because he is in the know. The Valley of Dry Bones is a vision that the Lord sent to Ezekiel of the Israelites in the last days and how they would not know who they were, are, or why they were in such a poor condition. Our people: the blacks of the captivity, the Native Americans, and the hispanics of black or Native American descent are the Israelites of the Bible (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). When you read that chapter of Deuteronomy, you’ll see that it lists all the curses (problems in our community) and culminates with the prophecy of a race coming into captivity on ships if they did not adhere to God’s Laws. If that’s not us, who is it? We are not “Africans”, and the white man teaches us that we’re Africans to cause confusion. We retreated to Africa and America as refugees after we were kicked out of Europe or fled when our rulership of that continent came to an end. The white man cryptically calls our rulership of Europe the “Dark” or “Mid-Evil” period and their own subsequent re-emergence the so-called “Renaissance” or rebirth. Some of us came to America as slaves but most came here as explorers, refugees, and mariners in trade with the Native American Indians until we were subsequently put into captivity. Most of the great cites in the U.S. were founded by blacks. “Harlem”; or “Haarlem” in the Dutch, the black capital of America, was founded by black Dutchmen and is the Dutch rendering of “Jerusalem”. So many cities, states, and blocks in New York and America are named after the black settlers and explorers of America that it is ridiculous.
@JSCENE
No disrespect to you sis, but you know what I always find funny? A white man like Ron Paul or Bill Clinton can recite the list of all the injustices done to black people: i.e incarceration rates for the same crime, unfair housing & hiring practices, law enforcement, schooling, etc. and they’re not “paranoid” or “bitter”. When a black man does it, he is all those things and he’s an excuse-maker. When the white jews assess racism against their own, draft and enact laws to protect their own, they’re not paranoid or bitter but the black man is, lol. It is what it is and it shows why, like I’ve already said, most real black men are skeptical of Obama. I’ve heard Obama say that “all races” must put aside their racism but like always, he didn’t say HOW. He never says HOW and he will never say HOW, because he doesn’t know HOW. Like I’ve always said; for a mutual understanding to be reached, both sides have to want to reach it. Black people don’t grasp that the other races don’t want to come together with them. This is how you know that Obama is a deceiver because he knows this too.
Like I’ve already said to “Unreal”, I could not cite the scriptures or reference the Most High and then give “my solution”. That’s not consistent and it’s symptomatic of man’s (and woman’s) addiction to his/her own opinion that they view a man’s idea for a people as viable. At the end of the day sis, my opinion and your opinion doesn’t matter. Only the Lord’s Word matters and what He says will happen. The scriptures state that none of the prophecies shall fail, not one, and they haven’t (Isaiah 34:16). Our only job is to try to keep his statutes with a pure heart, with love of the TRUTH, and He will take care of the rest.
In regards to the sisters, the women that believe in the Most High’s Word never have a problem with my comments because they understand that pride is the enemy of order and success. I mentioned the AIDS rate of the sisters and it’s correlation to their support of black male homosexuality and I stand by that (Deut 28:59-62, Rom 1:25-32). Once again, the sisters that are on point know that that statement doesn’t apply to them. This society has defiled not just the black and hispanic woman, but all women, and men for that matter, and it’s the reason why the family structure has been destroyed and there is so much confusion. In my opinion, many sisters seem to think that they are above reproach and cannot handle criticism of any kind. They sit in cyphers discussing black men but become uptight when their own possible shortcomings are mentioned. All of my deductions involving anyone and anything come from the scriptures, and they speak expressly regarding the black man, woman, and everyone else. Many sisters know that this society is geared towards effeminancy and destruction of the black male and they go along with it, which makes them accessories (Exodus 2:16,22). This is why many sisters are so confident to use the court system and police force against the black man. Simple as that. I can go far more in depth, but this is not the topic for that. Nothing that I say or believe about my people is with malicious intent, it’s just what I know to be the truth. These rap songs that these “I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T” women dance to are far more malicious, lol.
Why should I be concerned with other racial groups? More imperatively, why are you concerned that I’m not concerned with other racial groups? When I see the Chinese, Japanese, Africans, Arabs, etc. being concerned in any way with the black and hispanic community as opposed to trying to suck it dry, then you might have a point. Until then, it sounds house negroish. I notice that when some black people see Djimon Honsou, he’s a “beautiful dark-skinned African”, but when Fantasia comes up, she’s a “monkey” or an “ugly-ass, big-lipped b*tch”. It’s funny to me how some black people put all people above themselves. Blacks should be as forgiving and magnanimous to each other as they are the other races. Maybe if our people were as passionate about real issues as they were in arguing about Beyonce we wouldn’t be in this condition
This is what the whole crux of your problem with me was sis, isn’t it? That I criticized your savior? I had to read all those paragraphs, that were intelligently put together, but the point is that you’re angry that I didn’t bow down to his ridiculous speech. Obama is a globalist. When he says that we must put aside our differences, what he means is that we must forget our history for the sake of false unity. This mentality is directly related to the War on “Terror” (Islam), the issue with the Tibetan monks, feminism, population control (The Tsunami “Disaster”), the homosexual/lesbian movement, civil rights etc. All races and kindreds must acknowledge their subservience to the white jew inspired New World Order. If not, you’re a “terrorist”. Honestly sis, your agreement or disagreement with my argument has no bearing on its validity or credibility in the least. I’m not running for president so I don’t need your vote. The only way to understand the cryptic language of these politicians is to understand their intent. To understand their intent you must understand the scriptures. To understand the scriptures one must put their personal feelings and pride to the side. Everyone cannot do that, so what’s cryptic to me is “paranoid” to you. Seeds can only be planted in healthy soil.

JUDAH:
First of all, I guess that one went over your head. I mean, why bother commenting at all if all you present is a regurgitation of what you’re already said 1000 times? By solution, I mean wrapping your comments & insights with a pragmatic perspective relevant to the topic (beyond we’re all damned anyway) — not a blueprint. I see you’re really sweating yourself. Actually most of what I said poked on your contradictory commentary, which obviously went over your head.
I think it’s laughable that you “think” you’re black, while you despise Africans. Because as a black American, you’re certainly whiter than most Africans. You know, those white people you hate so much. And most Africans are definitively blacker than you. That’s what I find hilarious.
I think that your continuous reference to “your people” is hilarious, when they probably the most phenotypically diffused demographic on the planet. My point is that, in reality, “your people” probably map to all random corners of the earth. Which makes you silly to b so averse to he Pan African argument. Then you want segregation, but will make an exception for Hispanics. Pick one.
Akata? Boo hoo.. someone called you names. What are you, effeminate?
I don’t give a damn about white people or integration (you definitely lost me on that one) but I find it funny that you hate white people but sit here all day professing a religion they forced on you.
I am objective enough to appreciate your explanation on “a destiny” vis-a-vis “your solution.” But how can you bring dogma to a logical discussion? Which circles back to my first question. If your audience is constrained to those bound within the tenets of your faith, why not restrict your postings to your church board?
About Obama: I don’t think you have said anything that isn’t already obvious. He’s playing a game to win, and anyone with half a brain can see the big picture.
“Are you a sister or an effeminate negro?” - You couldn’t be more mistaken. Stop trying to box me and focus on the contradictions I pointed out.

By “solution” you mean saying something carnal that you can accept because you’re too proud to deal with the scriptures. Simple as that. Pragmatism and “logic” are relative. If I regurgitate the same perspective over one thousand times; who is worse, me for doing that 1000 times or you for reading it 1000 times, which you obviously have and continue to do? People like you are foils to be used to bring out the truth of God to the small remnant that the Lord wants. Nothing more, nothing less. Once again, because you don’t know the Bible and you’re too proud to ask me basic questions about why I think what I think you’re forced to jump to conclusions. I only use the term “black” for conventional purposes when discussing racial topics. The Bible does not use the term “black” as a nomenclature for a race. Only a fool uses color to describe their race. The Chinese don’t describe their “race” as “yellow”. The “contradictions” that you claim to have pointed out don’t exist because you understand neither the relationships nor the dynamics of how these things interrelate biblically. Your assumptions were responded to by a series of questions towards you to expound upon and enlighten me since you have me pegged, none of which were answered. The so-called hispanics, of negroid or Native American descent, are our people according to the Word of the Lord and historical research. You don’t know the history, either biblical or conventional, so you should ask instead of assuming. It’s funny that you mentioned that our people have been scattered to the four corners, which the Most High prophesied (Deuteronomy 32:26), but also that we’d be gathered from everywhere also (Ezekiel 28:25). Even in your silly false assumptions, the Most High’s Word is still glorified.
I asked you to show in the history where the “white man” taught us the Christian religion. You didn’t. I asked you for your solution. You couldn’t put one forth. I asked you, as one of these “black diaspora” people who think that everyone that looks like you on the outside is your brother or sister, if you knew why or understood why the Africans call blacks of the captivity “akata”. Once again, no answer. I asked you what “god” or “gods” you believe in since the Bible is what the white man taught us (I guess democracy isn’t what he taught us). No response yet again. Are you not answering my questions because you don’t have an answer or because you fear my response? Why should I respect your opinion when you obviously cannot justify your opinion in any way shape or form. Let me ask you another question that you either can’t or won’t answer. When you say I’m “whiter” than an African, what does that mean, lol? What is that, to be less “black” or more “black”? As a matter of fact, what does it mean to be “black”? Come forth and expose your ignorance and stupidity even more. The Lord clears up all the intermingling and race-mixing confusion by saying that we are of the seed of our fathers (Job8:8). The white man’s raping of the black, hispanic, and Native American woman; in this day and age consensual sex with the black, hispanic, and Native American woman, and subsequent offspring was prophesied about in Jeremiah 31:27, Matt 13:24-30, 37-43, and Matt 25:31. No disrespect to you or anyone else but I notice that my comments always cause some form of disturbance because it does not involve vain thinking. The truth of God is disturbing for some, if not most. It’s unsettling for people to grasp that their opinion means nothing. I understand that. This is why I politely ask those that disagree to ignore me. The Lord doesn’t deal with the masses or their opinions. Satan does. You’re welcome to disagree, question me, or challenge me, but when that happens don’t get angry when I respond and/or trump you. Just the fact that I can get you shallow, house negroes to have the nerve to think that you can tell me where to voice my opinion tells me that you have no depth to your mindset nor your character.
The reason why I lost you when I mentioned your infatuation with whites is because you claim to disassociate yourself from them yet you still believe in their system and in a candidate that they have trained and put forth to deceive our people simply because he’s “black”. If you’re for their system, then you’re for them. You have to understand that the Bible is my platform. If your opinion is your platform, then what I say will read like hieroglyphics. If my take on Obama is not new, then why respond to me? I don’t understand that. If you were in a court of law, you would have to think according to the laws and statutes of that land. Your opinion wouldn’t matter there and it doesn’t matter to me either because everything is in juxtaposition to the Lord’s Word. What is the big picture of the game that Obama is playing to win since you claim that it is obvious? Break that down and expound on it for me. The allure of Obama is that he’s not really about anything so he’s not a threat to demand “change” where it counts, which is in the spirits of the people according to order and not vanity.
@GG BOO
I’m sorry sis, who are you? Who are all these people coming out of the 4th dimension, lol? Have we spoken before? Who said that I was trying to teach you? I think that you want to be taught, you just don’t know how to accept correct teachings. I don’t understand this though. Who’s asking you to read my commentary? My thoughts must be like crack. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for people who so virulently disagree with long-winded essays but keep reading them. I’m unfamiliar with most of you people because I don’t read your nonsense. If it’s not to your liking, keep it moving sis.
@Thinkaboutitt
One thing I always say sis, and what the Most High’s Word has shown me is that Satan can make strange bedfellows, lol. People who are always diametrically opposed to each other on every other topic, doctrine, and belief under the sun can come together under the banner of confusion, vanity, and Satan, lol. I’ve seen it over and over. No disrespect to you sis, but I don’t bow down to anyone. No man and certainly no woman. The issue that effeminate black men and some sisters have with certain commentary is that black people have been taught that black male strength is arrogance unless it’s self-destructive or vain. Then in the next breath they complain about the lack of black men in the household. Then in the breath after that they complain about the black man and interracial dating, lol. The black man must have confidence in himself, he must have fortitude, and he must have strength in order to survive in these times when society is encouraging him to be a homosexual and mentally weak (Psalms 27:3, Heb10:35). Anyone who doesn’t like that, can honestly go straight to hell. No disrespect to any individual sisters but it’s obvious why so many black women, in general, are by themselves or play the whore (either physically or spiritually). They want the black man that they’re with to be the adult version of the sons that they dominate and raise to be effeminate.
I’ve stated, and stick by, the notion that the only reason why so many sisters are so pro-Obama is because he is a tool to get them closer to the white man, this corporate structure, his “security and riches”, and most importantly, independence from the black man that they’ve been taught to despise. Many black women, due to the spiritual defilement of America, have no earnest interest in the restoration of the black family structure and certainly have no interest in a strong male figure. Most that claim to have that interest, only say that so that they can trap the black man in this Americanized, demonic version of what’s called “marriage” so that the black man is legally bound to succumb to their theatrics. All that being said, there are many good sisters out here but they’re surrounded by demons and many don’t know how to move towards light.

Blah Blah blah… What you can do though, is quit dodging my questions about your silly contradictions, and address them directly. On an intellectual level. Quoting me verses when I don’t buy into your diction is silly at best. And yes, whites shackled, raped you, bastardized your culture, and knocked you over the head with a bible. Try refuting that one.
Don’t get carries away, I stopped reading your commentary when I realized that your regurgitations (see #120) have no value-add. I don’t believe that anyone who may look like me is my “brother/sister,” don’t be silly — what I’ve said those far more than proves that. I don’t bring my spiritual beliefs to a logical argument, because it’s silly and counter-intuitive.
Now stop running away from questions and address them. Whatever “black” is, you definitely are incapable of embodying no more than an African. Those are real, unadulterated black people. With their own pure language and culture to boot. You call yourself a “black man,” but you can NEVER be more of a “black man” than a pure African. You can slice and dice than however you want. Why does it hurt you so much? Jealousy is an effeminate attribute. You say: “The Lord clears up all the intermingling and race-mixing confusion by saying that we are of the seed of our fathers (Job8:8).” In other words, you believe that Africans are your daddy. Calling yourself black and hating Africans makes you look like a moron. Address that, brah.
I know what “Akata” means. It’s a term from a single tiny tribe out of Africa used to denigrate black Americans. And you’re catching feelings over it. lol. Truth be told, it cuts deep and categorically depicts many black Americans. You can never deny that. But I’ve also heard of “Booty Scratcher,” which is also leveled toward Africans with similar intent, but is infantile at best. How ignorant do you have to be to come up with “Booty Scratcher” as the ultimate insult? And then you turn around and wonder why no one takes you seriously. All folks do is bitch about everything and do nothing.
Case in point, Harlem was in the clutches of black Americans for damn near 100 years, and they did nothing with it but infest it with drugs, racqueteering, crime, and prostitution. Every black-owned retail store that I ever went into in Harlem was either African- of Caribbean-owned. The truth must be dealt with, however hurtful. On 125th street, you see Asian establishments, Arab establishments, etc. Only black Americans I see are patrons, teen-mothers, MTA-Card/Porn hustlers, protesters and beggars. Then you sit here and bitch about gentrification to the naive. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
You can sit on your ass and bitch all day. That will not change the fact that an African can come here with nothing, and still outperform the average white. It won’t take away the fact that Africans don’t sell their women cheap for pocket change, disrespect them daily, and would rather invest in the womanhood of their oppressors. It won’t take away the fact that Africans don’t litter the country with bastard children and run away from their responsibilities. It won’t take away the fact that a quartile of African men are not rotting in jail, getting impaled by other men and bitching all day about how they are being held back. “Akata” didn’t do that to you. A shiftless, hateful nature did. I don’t buy into the “system,” I just see things for what they are. Say what you want about Obama, but he has done more for the black American woman most of their “brothers.” Say what you want but he has had a more profound impact on American politics than any of the self-hating jheri-curled caricatures “black” Americans put out there. Say what you can about him, he is in an empirically more powerful position to exact more “solutions” than you can ever type. If that threatens you so much, I don’t know what else to tell you.
I pretty much understood what your theory about the juxtaposition of schools of thought. But my point remains that if that is what you really believe, then you’re on the wrong forum. While I happen to agree with some of your points (you hit many of the socialization of blacks in America dead-on, and you speak the truth about white people), don’t expect a Muslim or an atheist to take your version of “logic” seriously.

Believe me when I tell you that when i look above and behind my Pastor on Sunday morning, the pic of Christ isn’t lilly white, lol. And I know the origins of Christianity from the Kingdom of Judea(h), which lies within present day Israel. When you talk of “negroes” you are strictly dealing with the biblical term, which for the Jews was anyone with darker skin and hair coarser than their own, which included the people of The Mid-East, Egyptians and Sub-Saharan Africans. But when I refer to black people I’m referring to people of Africa, which strictly deals with those born on the continent, and The Israelites and people from the Mesopotamian valley do not reside in Africa, but Asia. This debate could go on forever but that’s the way I define it, so deal with it.
When I say that white people forced Christianity on Africans I say this because first and foremost, it wasn’t native to the Africans. In fact, Chirst never set foot in Africa until Joseph and Mary fled from King Herod after he ordered the slaughter of the young children (Matthew 2:13-23 ). The Egyptians even killed Mark The Evangelist (credited with first bringing Christianity to Africans) because they didn’t want to give up their practice of worshipping “Gods”. After the colonization of Africa by the Spanish and Portuguese, Christians at that time didn’t really believe in having slaves who were of Christian faith but luckily for them, over half of the indegineous populaton wasn’t either of christian faith or even practiced organized religion. Once we arrived in New America the europeans twisted and turned the words of the Bible to back their dispicable actions going as far back th the Old Testemant and the Curse of Ham in the book of Genisis (Book of Genesis 9:20-27) which BTW, was written by a Jew (a negroe by your definition, our brother in arms). So who’s worse Judah, the Jews (who wrote your irrefutable point of reference) or the Europeans? You say I’m one to assimilate and love white people to death, but you take the words of a Jew and crucify every black person on CLoop.

Contrary to what you believe - everything is not about you. My post has absolutely nothing to do with you …
I responded and supported a quote that was made by someone else.
I had not even read your previous posts here - your posts are typically the same hateful rhetoric and because I know the Bible, and most importantly, I know GOD, I don’t need yet another translation. He is my source and strength. PERIOD.
You seem to know the Bible - chapter and verse, but you choose to use it as a weapon. We seem to read the same passages and come to very different conclusions. But I have a question for you… If you know the whole Bible by heart, and all of the teachings of the philosphers, how does this help you without the grace and LOVE of GOD?
But just as you say… no disrespect — I love you anyway. I will not allow Satan to use me, I will not try to harm you with my words… You are GOD’s child and my brother.

@Unreal
I understand now. I’m presuming that you’re an African. I always wonder why people take so long to just say what they are and who they are. It makes things so much easier. I guess I had to put that heat on you, lol. That’s what your whole Obama nonsense is about. I know that alot of people attack me because through the spirit of the Most High it seems like their thoughts are being read. You read my posts and think,”I thought all these ridiculous African-Americans were stupid and didn’t know that Africans hate them.”, lol. Don’t worry though my “bruddah”, all these coon negroes are so busy attacking me that they’ll miss your self-exposure and tirade against blacks in your post. Me and you can speak on another level because I know what you think of black people as you put so well in your 5th and 6th paragraph. The truth brings out the truth in people and it’s wonderful. You spend so much time perpetuating a charade that you’re something other than what you are. These black Americans don’t understand how much the Africans hate them and why you collaborated with the white man and the Arabs to sell us here. The Bible is an intellectual endeavor if one is an intellectual. It’s not one for you because you believe that your opinion matters when it doesn’t and in all honesty if you’re an African, the understanding of the scriptures is not given to you. A man that is “spiritual” should bring his “spirituality” to everything FIRST, unless his “logic” outweighs his alleged “spirituality”, hence making him/her their own god.
What I don’t grasp is that first you said that you were mocking me, now you’re saying that I’m evading your questions. If you were mocking me, what questions did you ask? The few that I gleaned were answered. You’ve answered NONE of mine. You haven’t even attempted to because you don’t want to box yourself in, but this is fun, so I’ll play along. To show you how perplexed you are with yourself and how hateful you are towards our people, you hate black Americans, but you get angry when the black Americans don’t accept you. Normal heathen, lol. Mind you, I like the honesty but keep it real from jump. It shouldn’t take that long.
What you view as contradictions on my part is actually your inability to qualify the word of the Lord and real history with what you’ve been taught and your vain understanding of nothing. Just say that you don’t know what it means to be “black” because it means nothing, lol. I use the term “black” as a conventional term for conversational purposes as I’ve already stated. In and of itself, the term “black” has no value. You made an idiotic comment. An African cannot be more “black” than me because I’m not “black” nor is anyone else on planet earth. We’re all different shades of brown except for caucasians who are different shades of pink or red. I deal with LINEAGE not color. The white man coined that term, “black”, for our people because it connotes evil or confusion. Furthermore he is the one that named that continent Africa. When you do your research (for a change) you’ll see that 95% of the countries in Africa were named by, for, or after whites. All your African leaders or presidents are bought and paid for and have been since the age of imperialism. The Africans are forced to mine for the white man’s gold and diamonds while he uses his C.I.A and Israeli Mossad to stage coups and instigate civil and tribal wars. The Africans are purposefully being given AIDS to decimate their population. The only thing that the Africans still have is a faint sense of their history and language and that is at the whim of the white man who controls every aspect of Africa. There is no need to wipe out all shreds of evidence of the Africans’ history because it has no relevance, nor does it have a bearing on their condition. They worship pagan gods and inanimate objects, lol. The original biblical name of that land is the Land of Ham or as the Egyptians called it the Land of Chem. Are Africans “unadulterated” with a “pure” language, lmao? Africans scarify their faces, drink blood, eat feces, circumcise their women, and their language is anything but “pure” (Psa 81:5, Psa 114:1). The original language is the ancient Hebrew and the originators of the alphabet are the Israelites. You can get a book called “The 8th Day” by Samuel Kurinsky that details that. Nothing and no one on this planet is “unadulterated” or “pure”. You’re indirectly running with the white man’s fabricated African origin of civilization and his evolutionary theory. What’s your “logical” solution for the plight of the Africans?
Now I asked you and KMNILES to stop speaking for me because neither one of you can but you refuse to so I have to discipline you. As far as the raping, bastardizing culture, and “beating us over the head with the Bible”, you and I both know that you can’t expound on that and you’re smart enough to not try. I went through a longterm explanation to KMNILES who wasn’t smart enough to not try. I’m not going to retype all that. Job 8:8 is a scripture that refers to lineage. The scripture mentions the fathers because the father carries the seed. The Africans are of the lineage of Ham, not Israel. The blacks of the captivity are of the lineage of Israel who is himself of the lineage of Shem, not Ham. Somewhere in your infinitesimal mind, you inferred from my citation of that scripture that the Africans are our “daddies”, lmao. You probably still won’t get it. It should be elementary but I’ve had to reiterate it repeatedly. If I look like a “moron” to you it’s because I know who I am according to what the scriptures tell me, not according to what man tells me.
The term “akata” is worth mentioning because you brought up the Africans and that’s one of their slurs for our people. Every racial group has a denigratory term for our people as per the prophecies (Deut 28:37, Psa 79:4, Jer 29:18, Ezek 22:5). No term can make me do anything but laugh because I know who my enemies are, I know who I am, who my people are, and how this thing is going to play out. That nonsense doesn’t “cut deep” because you’re a heathen, you’re nothing, lol. The Lord tells us that when this society falls, the other races are going to be our servants and slaves (Isaiah 14:1-3, Isaiah 60:10-14, Revelation 13:9,10, etc.). I don’t know much about that bootyscratcher nonsense. The worse insult that you can be called in a heathen.
Harlem has been in the control of blacks not just for 100 years, but from the foundation of America because we discovered and built Harlem and all of New York. The negative elements of not just Harlem but almost every black community in America are systematic of the curses that the Lord said he would put on our people (Deut 28:17, Deut 28:30, Deut 28:43-45, Amos 7:17). You seem very enraged at black Americans, lol. More than the average heathen. What’s the problem? The black Americans are the tribe of Judah, so even though the white man wants to destroy all of our people, he likes to throw crumbs to the other black and hispanic groups of the captivity because he knows that they’re much more subservient and it will vainly puff them up against the black Americans. I speak about gentrification because it’s happening. Gentrification has always happened to the black community in America and it has nothing to do with crime, bitching, or moaning.
The average African can come to America and outperform the average white at what? Selling fake Louis Vuitton bags? Stinking up the 6 train? Lmao, you’re funny as hell. You should take your show on the road. White people have convinced the other races that if you come to America and conduct yourselves like good, hard-working slaves for America, one day you may have some control. These white people don’t work at all, much less work hard, while your stupid ass is exalting how much harder the Africans work than the caucasians. Real people understand that when you work smarter, you can get the slaves to work harder for you, and why work hard when you can get a good slave to work hard for you. I can’t sue you for false advertisement. Your stupid ass is “Unreal”, lol. Now read what you wrote. You wrote that you don’t “buy into the ’system’”. You just see things for what they “are”. Do you understand what the hell you just said? You just confessed that you have no solution nor an intent for one, lmao. There’s nothing wrong with that, in and of itself, but don’t act like your so deep and you “intuitive logic” is so pertinent to a discussion when you really don’t have shit to say. This is why I’m forced to respond derisively and dismissively to many of you people. I’m dealing with an idiot. What black man that you know still has a damn jheri-curl, lmao? Who do you hang out with? You’re really spazzin’ right now. You need to rein in the hate a little bit. What solutions is Obama going to enact? What has he done for the black woman? I know that you don’t like to answer questions (neither does Obama) but please answer those. It doesn’t threaten me; because he, like you, don’t really have anything to say. It must be an African thing. I do agree that you don’t know what to tell me though, lol.
I must be on the right forum because you’re so obsessed with my thought process. The Word of the Lord is a threat to you. Why would I expect, or care, if a Muslim or an atheist took my “logic” seriously? My perspective is not inclusive, it is exclusive and it will offend people who love lies.Why are you so obsessed with man’s “logic”. Do you fancy yourself a societal critic or some type of philosopher? A philosopher or societal critic develops their philosophy to address what they deem to be an ill or shortcoming in mankind or society at large. What is your philosophical solution? Do me a favor please; if you’re too stupid to answer any of my questions, don’t respond just to respond.

@KMNILES
Brother, I guess then that we’ll just have to agree to disagree (again) because it’s obvious that what we’re saying to each other is lost in translation. When I say “negro” it has nothing to do with any biblical term because the word “negro” is not in the Bible. Please stop trying to speak for me. I’ve told you that ad nauseam. The Israelites did not call anyone “negro” because that terminology was not in use. The Israelites were negroes and they still are. In the ancient times, races were identified by their lineage, not their color, i.e. the Moabites were the sons and daughters of Moab, the Edomites were the sons and daughters of Esau, the Israelites are the sons and daughters of Israel, etc. Everyone in that region were different shades of dark-brown and had wooly hair. Even if you were to go to those areas now you would see that the Middle-East is inhabited by dark-skinned “negroid” peoples that are not African, but are never shown on television. The reason for the numerous so-called light Arabs is due to the conquering of that region by the Greeks, Romans, and Ottoman Turks.
The only people that were named for their color (or lack thereof) were the Edomites, the offspring of Esau, Jacob’s brother (Gen 25:25). Esau, or Edom, is the biblical name for the caucasian. The name Esau means “red” or “wasted away is he” because they have no melanin. If you do a google search on the edomites, the white man will tell you that they’ve already been destroyed or done away with, lol. That’s because he wants you to think that he is not the devil or that he can be saved or absolved for his crimes against humanity. He cannot and will not be absolved (Romans 9:13, Hebrews 12:16, Revelation 13:9,10). You can get a book written in 1853 by an author named William Beeston who tells you that the Roman Empire was known to the Israelites as the Empire of the Edomites. Genesis 36th chapter tells you how they were forced to retreat into the caves of Mt.Seir due to their condition. That is where the so-called white man comes from, not no damn evolution. This is also why they cryptically always shows the caveman as a caucasian. “Planet of the Apes” with Charlton Heston was a thinly veiled reference to the white man’s fate according to the scriptures with the apes, of course, representing black people. Brother, in all honesty you cannot learn the truth until you understand how much you’ve been lied to and how little you know. That applies to all of us and this is why you don’t understand what you claim to profess. This is also why you feel the need to fabricate definitions for words like “black” and contrive terminology that the Jews used (according to you) like “negro”, which they didn’t use. Give me the same respect that you would give the white man. You would use references to prove your point to the white man but you tell me to “deal with it” as if your word holds weight. At least you’re attempting to answer my questions unlike that buffoon, “Unreal”.
This is what I’m talking about. The white man has brainwashed you with this Africa nonsense to the point that you cannot be spoken to. All that Africa nonsense you wrote was hogwash. Mark was in “Africa” to bring the Israelites that were in Africa the Word of the Lord. If you knew the OT, you’d understand who the gentiles of the NT were, the scattered Israelites. You cannot contrive your own definitions, history, and then think that you’re perspective is valid. The blacks in the Americas of the captivity are not of the lineage of Africans, what the Bible calls Hamites, and even who the white man calls Hamitic (Exodus 11:7). We are the Israelites. We ruled Europe for 1000 years and were the kings, queens, princesses, and knights of lore. You can get a book called “The Black Douglases” that details the negro knights of Scotland. The white man was known during the Middle Ages as a serf, slav, or peasant. This is why Isaac told Esau that he would have to serve his brother but that he would loose the shackles (Gen 27: 37-41). The white man’s history books refer to us as the germanic tribes or the “barbarians”. You can get a book called “Ancient and Modern Britons” vol.1&2 that expounds on tthat. You can read a book by Lerone Bennett called “Before the Mayflower” and it tells you that the first slave ships brought blacks to America from Spain, not Africa. We were taken out of power in Spain and Portugal in what the white man’s history books call the “Reconquista”. Many of our people journeyed to West Africa from Europe in the 1300’s and early 1400’s to escape the re-emergence of the caucasian, the same way we fled into Africa to escape Roman persecution after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and later 135 A.D. We were finally ordered to leave Spain in 1492 and Portugal in 1494 by King Ferdinand after the surrender of General Boabdil and we were shipped en masse to Spain’s holdings in West Africa. The Africans for their part rounded up the Israelites that tried to hide in Africa and delivered them to the Europeans.
The Spanish Inquisition was the systematic attempt by the newly empowered whites of the Renaissance to erase all evidence of God’s Chosen people, the Israelites. To escape that, many black Israelites came to America from throughout Europe and discovered most of the cities in America. To this day, you can go to Europe and still see statues and castles that we built or had the caucasian serfs build according to our specifications. Like I’ve already stated, Harlem was founded by the black Dutch and the word “Harlem” is the anglicized version of the dutch “Haarlem”, which itself is the Dutch version of “Jerusalem”. Harlem was even laid out in the same structural and architectural pattern of ancient Jerusalem by the brothers that founded New Amsterdam and it’s the reason why it is viewed as the black capital of America. The whites continued their systematic historical persecution by destroying the Native Americans of North, Central, and South America in what they deem their “Age of Discovery”. Those Native Americans were the descendants of the Israelites that were removed from Israel by the Assyrians during the Assyrian captivity and ended up sailing to America (II Kings 17th chapter, II Esdras 13:40 in the Apocrypha). The Europeans knew that this land was here already because we told them. They weren’t looking for no damn quicker route to India or believed that the earth was flat. All that nonsense is the white man’s lies. All ancient people’s knew that the world was round (Isaiah 40:22). Columbus and all those men were agents of the Vatican sent out to destroy all evidence of God’s Chosen because the nations have always looked to destroy God’s Chosen (Psalms 83:2-10). Read Deuteronomy 28:68 and tell me who that is talking about if it is not talking about us? When the history says that the white “Christians” wanted enslaved blacks that weren’t “Christian”, they’re cryptically referring to the acceptance of the false image of Christ (Cesare Borgia, look him up) and the pagan practices of the church, not a belief in the scripture. This, once again, is what the Spanish Inquistion was about. You can read about that in a book called “Babylon to Timbuktu” by Rudolph Windsor. The white man himself doesn’t believe in the scripture and this is why he can be cut with it and the negroes that adhere to his breakdown of it can be cut with it.
No disrespect to you, but your breakdown of the Curse of Ham is exhibit A of how deep under mind control you are. Where in that citation (Gen 9:20-27) does it mention a Curse on Ham, much less skin color? Did you even read the scripture you cited before you cited it or did you do a google search on the fictional “Curse of Ham”? When you do real historical and biblical research you’ll see that the curse wasn’t on Ham, IT WAS ON CANAAN, AS THE BIBLE ITSELF SAYS (Gen 9:25). That’s your first mistake. The curse had nothing to do with his skin color. The only signs of skin color being associated with a curse is when it is TAKEN AWAY, not darkened (Gen 4:15, Gen 25:25, Lev13:2-6, II Kings 5:1,27, II Kings 15:5, Isaiah 34:5). That nonsense was contrived by the Edomites that were forced to practice the law by the Maccabees when Edom was conquered in the second century B.C. Those edomites were the same ones that concocted the “Talmud” (which included that curse of Ham nonsense as well as a permission to practice pedophilia) later on while in Babylon. They were forced into the caucasus mountains where they in 740 A.D. initiated a mass conversion of their people to the practice of Jewish law and the Talmud. These are the people that call themselves Jews today, and know that they are not the real Jews. You can read this in a book called “The 13th Tribe”, written by a so-called white jew. He was later killed by the Israeli mossad for his confession. Honestly, where in the Torah or the Bible are people named Silverberg, Goldstein, Rubin, etc? They take Hebrew first names and make them their last names to perpetuate their lies, i.e. David, Peters, Solomon, Paul. In essence brother, because you refuse to let go of your fascination with the white man’s version of history, and acknowledge that you don’t know anything, you never will know anything and you’ll be unknowingly perpetually perplexed. If you don’t think that the scripture is irrefutable, than you’re sitting in church in vain. It’s only irrefutable when you meditate on it in the spirit of truth. You accuse me of crucifying you but look at how many lies you’ve regurgitated while claiming to believe in the truth. It’s ridiculous.

Sis, these posts do become about these people’s frustrations with my commentary, for whatever reason. After my initial comment, how many comments became about me? This is why I ask these people to ignore me. I notice that my commentary only becomes “hateful” when certain topics come up and certain elements of society are taken to task for their actions. I’ve seen you commend me numerous times, but that’s neither here nor there. Like I’ve said before, I can rail against the black man until Christ comes back and everyone would agree. The white man, the black woman, and the other races are off limits, lol. It is what it is. Is what “Unreal” said about black people “hateful”? It’s due to the truth that I bring out that he was FORCED to expose his true self. He can’t play games with me because I know what he’s about.
As far as your purported knowledge of the Most High and his Word, good for you sis, if what you say is true. I’ll take your word for it. I know many sisters that try to beat black men over the head with their spirituality and knowledge of the Bible until a black man knows more than them, then it becomes about God being in their “heart” (Jer 17:9). The Lord only resides in one’s heart when they know his Word and perform his statutes to the best of their ability. That is the Love of God. To do what he asks us to do, which is keep his commandments (Matt 5:17-19, John 14:15, I John 5:3). It’s not about being emotional. This is why it’s so difficult to get heterosexual black men into your churches. They see the writing on the wall, that alot of sisters and effeminate black men want to browbeat them with their emotions. Furthermore sis, as a sister of God, you should know that you cannot know Christ unless it’s through the man, i.e. your husband or pastor (Prov 8:4, I Cor 14:34,35, I Tim 2:11-14). The Bible tells us that in the last days, when all hell breaks loose, the sisters will need brothers there to serve their purpose as leaders and to provide protection (Isaiah 32:2). Before you get angry with me or call me “hateful” please take it up with Paul. Whether you like it or not, I don’t care how many vain, self-serving breakdowns you pastor or pastoress gives for Mary Magdalene to justify their nonsense, you will have to learn from a man. The link between the feminist movement and the black church is a whole other topic though.
You may not like to hear this sis, but the Bible is a weapon. Like any weapon it can be used to destroy or to restore peace. This is why it’s known as the sword, or the hammer, or fire (Jer 23:29, Eph 6:17, Heb 4:12, Rev19:13-15). Who says that I don’t have the grace or the love of God? Why, because I don’t bring out the Word like you’re used to hearing? Love, like I’ve already said, is not some Woodstock-like orgy where everyone hugs each other. Love, according to the Bible is adherence to the truth of the Lord’s Word. The Lord is our Father and like any parent, you show them you love by following their instructions, not giving lip-service. This is why James tells us that we must do the Word (James 1:22-24, 2:17). Keep in mind that what is today known as the New Testament were simply letters of exhortation or correction. So that means that those brothers and sisters that were being taught, were being taught about Christ from the Old Testament and it’s laws and prophecies. Brothers and sisters in these churches need to understand that, because you’re addicted to terminology in the NT that has it’s reference in the laws and prophecies of the OT. Thusly you’re understanding is perverted and many of you resort to saying that the Old Testament is done away with because you find the OT tedious (II Cor 3:12-18).
Grace is what Christ gave to his people forseeing that they would be thrown into captivity and in a state where they wouldn’t even know who they were, much less how to keep the laws (John 1:17, Rom 3:31, Rom 6:15). Instead of cleaving onto man’s definitions of words like “truth”, “love”, “hope”, “faith”, “charity”, etc. we should be looking for the biblical definitions because they’re there and they clear up the confusion. That’s one valid point that characters like “Unreal” have when they talk about the white man’s manipulation of black people through corrupted teachings of the Bible. I love you too sis, and it’s never anything personal. I call a spade a spade and your words nor anyone else’s words could ever hurt me, so don’t worry about that.
Matt 5:14-16, Eph 3:12

To be clear, I did not call YOU “hateful” - I don’t know you to make that assessment.
I don’t think that your comments are hateful because I may not agree - some of the things that I do agree with, you have communicated in what I perceive as a hateful tone and manner. I have and will continue to commend comments that you make that I feel are commendable. I think you have a lot of knowledge and a deeper understanding to offer, there are just times that your style and delivery is ‘hateful’. That’s real talk.
But understand, you made a long ’sideways’ comment directed specifically to me.
Truthfully, had you taken a moment to really read and objectively reflect on the comments, you may have determined that it wasn’t about you at all. But you were in “attack” mode - for what? In fact, I am not even sure divainva @ comment # 126 was even referring to you.
But, as you say, that’s neither here nor there - I do agree with you, that the true Love of GOD is to follow his commandments, that’s what I try to do.

You are correct that the Bible doesn’t speak of “negroes” within it’s pages. I was using the term incorrectly because that’s what you commonly use, so please excuse my ignorance. However, there are references in the Hebrew and KJV of the Bible which cannot be discredited. Ham named his son Cush, which in Hebrew means “black one” and in Genesis 10 it mentions decendants from Ham in Africa. There are countless other references in the Bible that hint of “negroes” residing in Africa which is why I go by geography rather than lineage, but I do recognize the importance behind you method especially since you say we are not decendants of Ham (as taught) bit rather negroes from Israel. I will have to do my own research on your knowledge and won’t be so quick to discredit what you say. I’ll also bring this up to my Pastor and see what he has to say (and his reaction)
Thank you.

Finally sir, thank you for speaking with me instead of at me for a change. This is why our people need to work on our dealings with each other before anything else. People on this site accuse me of being arrogant, argumentative, or confrontational but I simply follow the rhythm that has been already established. When you read the scriptures, Christ, the prophets, and the apostles were not nice to everyone. The spirit you put out is what you get back, and you reap what you sow. I understand that my commentary can seem brusque or overbearing but the Lord tells us to speak a certain way (Isaiah 58:1, Luke 4:32).You should ask your pastor concerning the truth about our people if you wish, but he will likely tell you that the Israelites were done away with and that the promises are now to “everyone”. He’ll say that Christ “may have” been black but that’s not the crux of Christ’s message. Or he may say, “Maybe you’re right, let me look into that.”, and never get back to you. Depends on the person. The truth alienates people, the church is a business, and no pastor wants to destroy his congregation.
The Bible does mention the descendants of Ham as “Africans” because they are. The point I’m continuously making is that our people are not Hamites, we are Shemites. There are negroid peoples with woolly hair in every part of the planet earth. That does not make them “Africans” and the only reason why people say that is because they believe in evolution and the descent of man from a single organism. That did not happen. Cush means, as you’ve stated, “burnt one” or “black one” but he is the progenitor of the people known today as the sub-Saharan Africans. Mizraim, the progenitor of the Egyptians, was just as black as Cush and was also the son of Ham but no one talks about that. Canaan was as well. The original caucasian archaeologists even went as far as painting the Egyptian depictions of themselves red to make a distinction between the Egyptians and the Ethiopians for the sake of confusion. The white man has gotten us to be captivated by color when it is lineage that matters. Skin color is just an attribute. There are many scriptures that can be cited to prove that the Hebrews were, and still are, negroid. It’s the greatest hoax and lie in the history of mankind that the blacks, hispanics, and Native Americans, are not told that they are the Israelites of the Bible (Jeremiah 17:4, Col 1:26). You can read the “Zondervan Bible Dictionary” under “Ham”, where it tells you that he is, and I quote, ” the progenitor of all the dark-skinned races, NOT THE NEGROES, but the Egyptians (ancient), Ethiopians (ancient), Libyans (ancient), and Canaanites (ancient).”. Geography is irrelevant and leads to confusion. By that process of thinking one could falsely deduce that the Native Americans and the Australian aborigines were caucasian 1000 years ago because the people inhabiting those lands now are caucasian.
