The Plight of the Negro: How Can We Change It?

I decided I wanted to compose a post asking and answering questions I think would be most helpful for those who may be wondering why there is so much violence and turmoil going on with Black people in America (and other places as well). 

Hopefully this post will cause you to ask yourself certain questions and maybe even reconsider doing some of the things you may normally do...

Either way, I hope it provokes change...for the better (of you and our people as a nation). 

DisclaimerI did not want to use any graphic pictures of the deceased (lynching, murders, massacres, etc.) in this post out of respect for others, so I'm hopeful you'll get the severity of our situation (and the overall message i'm trying to convey) with the illustrations I chose instead.*  


Question: What is happening to the Black (or Negro) nation and how can we change it? 

Answer: From the outside looking in, it seems as if history is beginning to repeat itself and the only way we would be able to change it, is to first change ourselves. Unfortunately, it would be a grave mistake [for us] if we think our situation will change, yet we remain the same.  Most people would consider it insanity, in its truest form. Furthermore, many of us may not have known that in order to change our reoccurring situation, we must look into why it keeps occurring in the first place. We must discover the root cause.




Question: Why are the Negro people (including those all throughout the world) under such heavy persecution and scrutiny? In addition, why is the racial tension rising, especially in America, against them as well?

 Answer: Here is the foundation of the problem; Negro people (all over the world) have no clue who they are because they've been taught, by their oppressors/captors, a lie (i.e. Black people nationalities are Africans, Americans, Caribbeans etc.). By doing so, we were forced to (and we now gladly) follow the doctrines and gods of other nations…
·         Deut. 28:64-65 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
·         Psalms 83:2-4 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

Moreover, the Most High, Heavenly Father chose negro people as his own peculiar treasure/people and he warned our ancestors (Israelites) what would become of them/us if they would not follow his laws/commandments.
·         Deut 28:49-50 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
·         Deut 28:25-26 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
·         Deu 28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
·         Deu28:45-46 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
Our ancestors chose not to follow the laws and commandments; consequently (like He promised) the Most High cursed them which then meant we were going to be/are cursed too.  
·         Num14:18The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation

Question: Is it possible to reverse the curse? How do we change our oppression?

Answer: Yes, our persecution is changeable; first, we must repent! Repenting is the only way things will change for us (for good)! We must turn back to the Most High and follow his laws and commandments. We must teach our children to walk in his ways. We must ask for forgiveness for our sins and the sins of our ancestors. We must let go all of the false gods we’ve been taught to love and worship. We must return to the Creator of the universe, our Father, our Most High. It is imperative that we do this...our salvation, protection, and blessings are heavily dependent upon doing so.

·         Deu 30:1-9 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. 6And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

Question: What will happen if I choose not to follow the laws?

Answer: In the end, we all have a choice to make; isn't that what life mainly consists of...various choices needing to be made on a daily basis. As for the children of the Most High, if we choose not to follow His commandments, things will get worse for us (or for those who continue to choose not to listen to the Most High). It's very simple and to be completely honest, it doesn't matter whether or not you, me, she, he, they, and/or them believe it or not, the truth is the truth...and the "proof is in the pudding". The Most High will not allow any of our wrong-doings to go unnoticed (not for long)… and we will not prosper (truly prosper)...
·         Leviticus 26: 27-28 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
·         Leviticus 26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.



In conclusion: I hope this post has helped in some sort of way, I know not many will believe the words I have typed or the Bible from which I use, but if you are feeling some type of tug in your heart then I implore you to take this post serious...It is time, right NOW, to repent and live a life that is in alignment with His word and more importantly His laws. 
Repent now and watch how things change!

Why Do We Love The Wrong Things?


I found this picture while looking for some artwork for my previous blog post, Don't Fall Victim, if you haven't checked it out click on the link and take a gander!

I think it is very interesting that majority of Negro actresses are portrayed in this light (and willingly accept roles like those mentioned above).

Why do we love the wrong things? Why do we support these type of shows that portray us in such a negative, stereotypical way? Why can't our multi-talented actors/actresses gain better roles than the ones mentioned above (or slave/gangster/sidekick roles)? And when they do, why don't we support them?

We, Negro people, as a nation must ask ourselves these questions...and be real with our answers & ourselves. It's not that we love to see our people in this light but we are being forcefully fed/programmed/conditioned to "enjoy" these types of "entertainment" (yet many people re-enact what they see on t.v., in real life). People learn vicariously through others and unfortunately, we are learning all of the wrong things through T.V./media.

Wake up people!

I hope this picture/post has sparked some type of interest on this matter...it is one that certainly deserves a second look.

Who's Really Who? (Pt.1)

DISCLAIMER: 
To better help you digest this information I'll break it into 2parts.  

Who are the true Natives of the Americas

Have you ever asked yourself that question before? I know I hadn't! That is, until a little while ago. 

When I was younger I never speculated anything as strange because I was always taught that "Black" people came from Africa and the "Native American" Indians were in the Americas first... In other words, this was their land and we ("African-Americans") were stolen from our home. 

Supposedly...

Now, I want you take a look at some of these pictures... never have I heard any media coverage on them, nor are they really spoken about by majority of historians; I wonder why...?


The picture to the left is an Indigenous Chickasaw female with her child. Notice the date to the bottom left of 1832. 


Columbia, shown full-length standing to left, holding a standard showing the stars and stripes and an eagle, looking at two Indigenous males wearing feathered head-dresses. circa 1798 .


Wow....if the Natives of the land were dark skinned, Negro like peoples then who are these people and what's their true origins?? 













What's even more strange is that there is a video clip of a female historian bringing information to light about dark skinned Indians, she even wondered why no one has once made light of this information (and why mainstream has no clue about it).

*(Mobile version) Click on the links below to checkout the vids!

Also, check out this video. It is less than 3 minutes long and shows documented pictures (and artwork) after picture.


Interesting information right? Everything is not what it seems...

(I will provide a link to it when it is finalized)

Who Do You Really Belong To?

Here's a video I wanted to share with those individuals who still attend a Christian church (or any church that supposedly preach about Jesus Christ).

There are so many church goers that don't go against what "pastor" say, so many people do not even dare question anything "pastor" do... I know this is fact because when I was a Christian I did the same thing(s) and I saw countless other people following suit...

This video is part 1 of a 3 part series; I am only sharing the 1st part because it's the only one i've watched so far. It's very short (about 16 mins) but thorough, thought-provoking, and enlightening.

If you'd like to watch the other parts as well, I'm sure there's a link somewhere on the YT page.

(Here is the link just in case the video fails to show on my post):

What Happened...to Us?

Lately, I have notice that I often slip into deep thought... I catch myself wondering what happened to us?
What has happened to the Negro nation over the past 70-80 years? How could we have become so detached from the unity we once possessed long, long ago?

and...

Why do we chase after things that deteriorate? I mean, people kill, steal, and lie for things that can be easily stolen, broken, confiscated, and burned away. 
Our society (and our race) thrives on "stunting" on other people/each other, we/it thrive on pushing people to reach for the stars...but when they get there, they usually look down on the other ones trying to climb up...

and...

Why would we do this to one another? Why would we want to look down on anybody...why not help those who can't help themselves (and have a desire to genuinely want to help them, wanting nothing in return)?

Lastly...

Why do we put on such charades?

Maybe this video will help explain a little more....

Negros: From Slavery to Present Day

The Willie Lynch Syndrome 

It's really sad to see how far back we've turned and how we don't even know it. It saddens me to see that we kill, steal, rape, harm, hate (and do things much much worse) to one another. We do the same things our slave masters use to do to us...

I guess they taught us well...


Let's stop falling prey to all of the things we've been unknowingly/willingly indoctrinated with and all of the things that made us (and is still making us) die in ignorance.
Let's begin to put forth the effort to change from (and take some responsibility for) the mistakes we, including our ancestors, have made in the past.

It angers me that we were so bamboozled, that we were so harshly fooled. Yet, with all of the resources available today, we still are too stiff-necked to care.. It truly amazes me when I think back on how far we came and how we continue to allow ourselves to be entrapped by the vicious cycles that plague us...

What has happened to the Negro race?

Are You Suffering From Pied Piper Syndrome?

What You Should Know about the Traditions You Follow...


It's that time of the year again, holiday season. A time when people all over the world get together and celebrate various traditions by buying merchandise, preparing big dinners/feasts, and things of that nature.

Have you ever asked yourself where do traditions come from?

I know it's carried down throughout the ages and people continue the cycle by teaching a new generation what they've learned previously, or from their ancestors. But why do we follow the traditions we follow? Where did those traditions come from? And is it consistent with what we've been taught to believe?
(of course this is for those who believe in the Bible, whether you call yourself a Christian or not)

Those are the type of questions I'm sure most people do not ask themselves...quite frankly, I never asked myself those questions because I was too busy enjoying them to care. But now that I don't follow mainstream religion or even the things mainstream media push, I'm now able to see the errors of my past... and all it took was a little reading the Word, researching on online, and desiring to stop participating in them.

It's also been a little easy for me to stop because I began reminiscing on the horrible things my ancestors had to endure and I realized they had to endure those things because they would not listen to the Lord; they were forced to endure those curses for a set amount of time.


Let's continue...and while we're on this topic, I wanted to provide everybody with the true definition of holiday. A holiday is a term derived from holy day; and on those holy days, religious festivals occur.


So here is what I've discovered so far, about the three main holidays many people celebrate...

Easter...The celebration of the Savior's resurrection. Christian's often celebrate this holy day (holiday) by attending a (Good) Friday and/or Sunday church service, having communion with one another, and by having a big family dinner, etc.
Interestingly, Easter holy day is also heavily involved with Easter eggs and bunnies; which is odd because what does eggs and bunnies have to do with celebrating the Savior's resurrection???

*Disclaimer-- For some reason, the YouTube videos I posted are not playing or showing up at all on mobile devices; so I will leave the link above the video. If you do not see the video, just click on (or copy/paste) the links.

Click on this video and/or link to learn more (must watch video!)




Thanksgiving...Another celebration in which people all around the world (or all around America) come together and have a great feast with family and friends. In addition, Thanksgiving supposedly began when the Pilgrims and Indians had their first big feast together after helping one another during harvest season...(or something like that, i'm trying to remember what I was taught during elementary school in regards to why Thanksgiving "really" happened).
Very interesting indeed...but what really happened during Thanksgiving and why is this tradition being pushed so heavily?

Take a look down below:



*Attention--Unfortunately, mostly all of the videos I searched for told the story of Native Indians and how they suffered through a period of genocide. However, some (if not all) of the videos mentioned that the Indians were apart of the Hebrew nation...which is false. They are not apart of the 12 tribes, I was only showing this video so people could see that horrific origins of a holiday many people celebrate.


Christmas...aah Christmas, the day the Savior was born. A day many people celebrate by attending Sunday church services, buying presents, giving aid to the needy, and (just like mostly all of the other holy days)  being celebrated in the US and all over the world) preparing a big dinner for family and friends.
Supposedly, Christmas is the day that the Messiah was born; He is supposed to be "the reason for the season", but for many this season is all about buying gifts for loved ones and it's pretty much all about vanity, lust, and greed.

Let's find out more about this holy day that so many people love so much. After all, it is the Messiah's birthday, right?!

Check out this video (must see!):


*(Besides the ending to this video, I think it did a good job at describing the true origin of "Christmas")*

Conclusion

By now, hopefully, you have come to a deeper understanding of what it is you are truly following when you celebrate the holidays of America and the world. Furthermore, I think it's really safe to say that all holidays (Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, including the ones mentioned above, etc.) pushed through mainstream media and religion are pagan; but if you don't believe me, that's fine...All you'd have to do is type in pagan origins of       (whatever holiday you celebrate) and I guarantee some history will pop up.

Here's one last question you should ask yourself, if you are a follower of the Word...Why aren't any of the Holy days the Creator established in the earlier parts of the Word ever followed in mainstream media, religion, and especially the Christian church? Why aren't His Holy days ever mentioned?..like the Feast of Tabernacles, First Fruits, etc. It almost seem like someone don't want His followers doing any of that...

Hmm, very interesting indeed.

Is Being Perfect In An Imperfect World Possible?

-It Is Obtainable-

Before this year, I never really put much thought into whether or not I could possibly be "perfect", especially living in America, the land of whatever-you- like-goes.

I know that many people believe that there is absolutely no way that people can walk in perfection. One prime example is the Christian church (the only reason why I use the Christian church as an example is because I was a Christian for nearly a decade). Many Christian believers will say that Christ is the only one who was able to walk in perfection and that He did it for us, so that we don't have to do it ourselves...

I disagree...

The Messiah was indeed (and much more than) a perfect example of how followers of the Word should be but He also showed us that if He can do it, so can we...
(Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me).
And if we really are followers of the Bible, we should make it a top priority to discover how in fact we should do this...

One part to learning how to be perfect is by following the Laws and Commandments of the Bible. I know, most people (including myself before I looked into this earlier this year) might think...does the laws and commandments still stand? I thought the Messiah eradicated the laws/commandments when He died on the cross; I thought we were to only worry about His grace?  

Here are a few scriptures that you should look into when you are doing some Bible studying:

          1. What we should abide by:
Exodus 20:2-17
·       2. What we should/should not eat:
Leviticus 11:2-23
·       3  . What does Christ says about the Laws & Commandments:
Matthew 5:17
·         4. How to tell if someone knows the Lord:
1 John 2:3-6
·         5. What will happen to those who reject the truth:
Hebrews 10:26-30
·         6. What will happen to those who claim to know god but don’t keep His laws:
Matthew 7:21-23
·         7. How to gain eternal life:
Matthew 19:16-17
·         8. How to get in the Kingdom of Heaven:
Matthew 18:3-4

Here is a video that will help further explain things...






In addition to the information given above, being perfect does not just mean following the laws solely. It's a continual process that each believer should put forth effort to do; becoming perfect (along with following the Laws) can be understood more easily with the help of this video below:





*On another note*
There are many Israelite groups that believe the Bible was written specifically for Hebrews (Israelites) and that only Hebrews are worthy of reading it/being saved, etc... Honestly, I, too, believe that the Bible was indeed written for the Hebrews, but I also know that in Romans 1:16 (and other parts of the Word) it states, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." 


.As we come to understand that the Father is not a respecter of persons (Romans 2:10) and that He truly does not want anyone to perish...and if we really love the Lord, desire to show our love to Him, and want to be considered children/followers of the Most High God, then we need to seek Him in perfection.

How Can We Understand Our Present, Without Knowing Our Past?

Have you ever wondered why our history as "African Americans" is so tragic...Why it's so inconsistent...why are we at the bottom of every totem pole there is in the world...Why it constantly seems like we can't catch a break...

What would you do if you discovered that you were much more than an "African American"? How would you feel if someone told you that the people in the Bible could possibly be your ancestors? Would you care? Would you want to know how? Would you be willing to look at and consider the proof?

Earlier this year, I made an outline from all the questions I asked myself since discovering this Truth. The first question was: Who are we, are we merely “African-Americans” or are we much more than that? Can we truly be the chosen people (Hebrew/Israelites) of the Most High God?

Deuteronomy 28:1,2- And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

The 28th chapter of Deuteronomy basically warns the Hebrews (Children of God) what the Father will cause to happen to them if they chose to not follow his commandments/statues and what He would cause to happen to them if they chose to act in disobedience. 

The description of the blessings start from Deuteronomy 28:3-13
The description of the curses start from Deuteronomy 28:15-68

The Father adamantly warned His children, He told them to choose wisely (though He knew they would not). I hope you can see the emphasis He placed on both the blessings and curses; within that chapter, only 10 verses spoke about the blessings His children would experience if they chose to listen. But goodness, did you notice how many verses He went in-(graphic)-detail about the curses that would surely come those those who disobeyed?...53 verses!

Here are a few scriptures I want to place emphasis on; I want you to really look into this and really think about it:
28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

28:13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

*28:68* And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

*According to the Word, Egypt represents bondage (Exodus 2:23) and when it says "no man shall buy you" it means no one will save you or buy you your freedom.(Also read Exodus 1:13-14)*

This video (and of course the Word)  helped me understand the answer to my question.

BIBLICAL ISRAELITES WERE BLACK, And Still Are Today!




So...what do you think?
