Give FBAs Their Flowers
It’s time to give FBAs their flowers. They’ve suffered and continue to suffer the most severe existence of any Black community in modern history. And, in the face of all that suffering, they’ve managed to become the primary creative force behind modern music and social culture. Many will not acknowledge it but FBAs are the guiding force of the global Black community in a world that continues to judge human worth based on the social construct of race.
They’ve been called Niggers and African Americans for decades but in recent years, Black Americans have been redefining their own identity as simply Americans. When some among them said that an individual identity was needed, they began to refer to themselves as ADOS or American descendants of slaves. Today, a new definition has emerged which drops the slave connotation. That definition is “Foundational Black Americans” or FBA for short. If you’ve interacted on Black social media recently, you’ve probably encountered FBAs sounding off about such topics as; who created Hip Hop music, do Black Americans have a culture, why do other Blacks disrespect FBAs, and who is or isn’t considered an FBA?
If you are a non-FBA of Caribbean descent like myself, you’d probably be tempted to engage FBAs about any of the topics I’ve listed above. You might be tempted to say that Black people from all over the world have been migrating to America for over a century, all of whom have contributed to enriching Black American culture. You might be tempted to point out that foreign Blacks were responsible for cultivating some of the greatest civil-rights movements in American history. One individual was Marcus Garvey, who founded the UNIA in the 1920s.
Another person was Noble Drew Ali, the son of a Moroccan immigrant who founded the first Black Islamic temple in America. That Islamic seed grew to spawn influential Black leaders such as Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. Also, remember that in 1809 when the Haitian revolution ended and Haiti became independent, many rich white, free Blacks, along with their servants fled to New Orleans. Many of these Blacks went on to participate in the Civil War. Remember “Whipped Peter” who Will Smilt made a movie of a few years ago. He was Haitian.
FBAs did not exist in a bubble until the civil rights movement of the 60s. There were many cross-cultural influences with other Blacks throughout history but confrontation is not the answer as it will only serve to disunify the Black race. Instead, we need to give FBAs the respect they deserve. When we say that FBAs deserve their flowers, we’re saying that we as non-FBAs need to recognize the task that FBAs have involuntarily been burdened with fulfilling on behalf of the advancement of the Black race. Even when some of them appear to have adopted the pompous and self-righteous nature of our oppressors in the defense of their achievements, you can still respect the fact that their point of view is simply a product of unconscious human nature.
Ever heard the term, “pressure creates Diamonds?” It means that Diamonds do not just appear out of nowhere. A Diamond, which first begins as a lump of Coal or Carbon, has to undergo the extreme pressure of being pressed between rocks for thousands of years inside the Earth. Heat and pressure forces causes the lump of Coal to undergo a chemical transformation that results in a Diamond. Metaphorically speaking, such is also the process of creating resilient people. In other words, it is hardship and adversity that increases the resilience of people.
Black people all over the world have benefited in one way or another from the hardship of our FBA cousins in America. Not that we from the Caribbean and other regions where slavery and colonization was once the norm, haven’t fought and attained freedom as well, the FBA struggle is greater because most of us, except maybe Brazil, have now gained political control of the countries we were once enslaved in. To reference our condition to the creation of a Diamond, the pressure is off so most of us have settled. It is only those of us who want more, who are willing to reside along-side people who don’t like us in order reap the benefits of greater opportunity.
What have we learned from FBAs; you might ask? To begin with, we’ve learned that we cannot become complacent. We must continue to fight back against our oppressors because oppression is not a normal human condition, contrary to the Bible and Quran they gave us to comfort our condition. We must fight back against racism, discrimination, and police brutality. And, since FBAs prefer to integrate with instead of to separate from their oppressors, their struggles provide a deep psychological view into the true nature of our oppressors through the façade they project. You can witness the process on full display today when you watch American politics and you see Black people supporting racists.
Foundational Black Americans (FBA) are a force to be reckoned with. Through great adversity, they’ve managed to adjust to the pressures of the hostile environment that they exist in. The result is that their sacrifice has produced exceptional individuals in arts and entertainment as well as numerous successful business people and inspirational leaders.
Cult Leader Nature Boy Sentenced to Life in Prison
Cult leader Nature Boy has now been convicted and sentenced to life in prison. I say good for him but it begs the question; why do cults work so well in Black communities? Is it because Black people are too naïve and trusting, or is it because Black people are simply misinformed about the dangers of cults and cultists? The answer is neither. The reasons why cults work so well in Black communities are because; most Black people are savior minded, we haven’t created our own God, we refuse to understand the power of human Desire, and we long to escape the control and oversight of white domination.
Most people on social media have probably already heard the news that Nature Boy, the infamous spiritualist cult leader, has now been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for rape and other sexual violations of his many wives and followers. Before he was taken down by some of his former followers, he had engaged in a decade long mission of so-called spiritual rescue to free mostly naïve young black women from the system of western establishment, taking them out of America to various tropical regions where he could indoctrinate them in without scrutiny.
Although he was quite successful in growing a loyal following, he encountered numerous hardships from the locals in all of the places that he tried to establish colonies, from Hawaii to Central America and the Caribbean. Eventually, he moved back to the United States where the white establishment is more than happy to lock up any Black identity leader who gets too influential for their liking. But on another note; isn’t it funny how it is white people who we always have to run to when we need to be saved from the monsters, we ourselves create?
The truth is that Black people will always fall victim to cults because of four particular things; the first being our savior mindedness. Black people are the most spiritual race of people for one basic reason. We are the only people who still have a fully functioning spiritual receptor inside our brain. This spiritual receptor is known as the Pineal Gland and what it does is transform pure dark energy waves from the universe into Melatonin that heals our cells and encourages us to live using fairness, equity, and accountability in life.
The overtaking of humanity by people with calcified non-functioning Pineal Glands caused a shift in the collective consciousness of humanity so that now, instead of trying to live in accord with nature, humanity is trying to gain universal awareness. We want to know everything about life including how to spark consciousness in the machines we create. The worst thing about such an endeavor is the introduction of a God and the belief that a devil also exists as a force to push people toward God.
This brings us to our 2nd fault, which is that we haven’t created our own God. Therefore, we are unable to view the world through a truly ethical lens. Why do you think that so many of us are spiritually lacking? We refuse to believe that the sadistic God that the establishment is trying to sell us on would allow us to endure suffering as a form of purification ritual. We want to enjoy life and because we don’t understand the power of desire, cultists have easily stepped in to exploit us.
Desire is the opposite of conscience. It is an instinct that triggers a chemical process inside our brain to produce the quenching hormone, Dopamine. Ancient religious philosophers recognized that desire was the key driver of human behavior. They referred to it as “want” and even put it into the Bible in the phrase; “the lord is my Shepard; I shall not want.” Most religious people, including pastors don’t understand the meaning behind the phrase. The lord represents your conscience, which is the only inner thing that can reign-in your desires.
There are external things like laws, which have the power to conjure “fear of consequence” inside us. This leads to the final factor that is making Black people susceptible to cultism and that is; we long to escape the control and oversight of the white establishment. Most diaspora Black people today live in countries that were established by European colonialism. Some of us may gain wealth and power by becoming Politicians, Doctors, and Lawyers but when it comes to spirituality, most of us would rather conform to religion than give in to our conscience that is telling us to question the many unethical things about organized religion.
A lot of Black people today who are shedding organized religions, are unfortunately turning to unethical spiritual belief systems that are nothing more than cults. That goes for all African ritualistic spiritual practices involving sacrifices of any kind. Cult leaders like Nature Boy thrive on the fact that a lot of Black people are naïve and will fall for all sorts of cool sounding gibberish. Since I’m not here to tell people what to believe or follow, my intent is to simply offer advice. My advice is that any spiritual belief system that is not based on ethics at its core, is most likely occult. Avoid it.
15 years ago, I embarked on my own journey to find an ethical spiritual belief system and since I couldn’t find one, I crated my own. I call it the HERU Interface and unlike religions, cults, and other African spiritual belief systems, there are no gods, devils, idols, deities, people, places, and things to praise, worship, and covet favor from. It is simply an ethical way of perceiving reality that holds one accountable to creation.
I don’t claim to be a prophet and I don’t seek praise from a flock of followers. HERU Interface is not an exclusive club to join and there are no rituals to practice or rules to follow. I do know that because of these factors, HERU Interface will not become popular. Therefore, my aim is simply to offer an ethical Spiritual alternative to any Black person who is searching for something to believe in. And even if you still don’t believe, hopefully it will inspire you to think beyond Atheism and Religion to recognize the Great Spirit that is the Universe itself.
I believe that the Universe is a Mind. I also know that it is very hard for most people to believe that intelligence can exist without being generated by matter but when you begin to think outside of the box, you will begin to see that the Universe itself is the creator, and it requires no praise or worship, only understanding. Stop believing in cultists like Nature Boy and stop believing that there are powerful beings in the sky that we need to worship in order to graduate to eternal life. We are eternal beings already.
Katt Williams Hailed As A Messiah
Comedian Katt Williams is being hailed as a messiah on social media for calling out imorality in Hollywood and the general entertainment industry. However, most people only like what he said because it makes them feel good about the various forms of false-morality they’re practicing already.
By now, most of us have probably seen or heard of the infamous Katt Williams rant on the Shannon Sharpe, Club Shay Shay podcast in which he roasted dozens of his fellow comedians as well as a few other entertainers as frauds and Hollywood underworld operatives. The podcast has gone viral, racking up more than 25 million views on social media in only a few days. Everyone is now hailing him as a new messiah in the black community and since messiahs are few and far between, Black people are willing to accept whatever we can get.
Katt Williams has always been considered a rebel in the industry similar to Dave Chapelle. He claims that there are “gatekeepers to success” in Hollywood who require submission and moral indignity from entertainers in exchange for money and fame. There are two reasons why he had taken such a stance. Either; one, because he is bitter and jealous of the success of his fellow entertainers or two, because he has a moral foundation to stand on.
I skipped through about an hour of the podcast and came to the conclusion that while he has dabbled in immoral activity throughout his life, he does have a moral base to stand on. However, I wouldn’t go as far as calling him a messiah. He tells his life story of being born in an ultra-Christian household but left home at 13 years old when his disobedience led to a serious altercation with his father. His blind faith in God helped him to navigate homelessness on the streets for 5 years. He lived among prostitutes and pimps, hustling stolen goods, eventually becoming a teenaged father.
His saving grace was his keen ability to read and write beyond his young age, which led him into writing and performing stand-up comedy. His big break came when he played the pimp Money Mike in Friday After Next. He tells an admirable story of surviving and maintaining a level of success in an industry full of devils who thrive on emasculating Black men. In reality, he is an anti-hero who states that he has never done drugs because he knows the power of addiction, yet he has a marijuana and cigarette addiction. He idolizes pimps and prefers being around toxic women.
Although Katt Williams’s life story puts him above the average Black man in America, he is certainly no messiah. His life story is only relatable to most because of one thing. Similar to him, a lot of Black men in America today start out in religious households but because of the overwhelming influence of poverty and popular culture, must quickly choose between morality and immorality. Ultimately, we all take risks and are happy when someone like Katt Williams comes along and pats us on the back for not doing drugs, avoiding the lure of white women, and didn’t suck another man’s dick to gain money and fame.
Savior Minded Negroes Allow White Supremacists to Take Over School Curriculums
Savior-minded negroes have allowed white supremacists to take over the education curriculum in America and teach that Black people benefited from slavery. Spearheaded by conservative Republican politicians, the new curriculum will replace the previous school curriculum that they say is a form Liberal oppression designed to make white students feel guilty about the great nation that white people built. Most Black Americans are very upset at this new tactic by white supremacists to reverse their Civil Rights but not all Black Americans agree.
In fact, there are three main groups of Black Americans who co-sign white supremacy and all three suffer from the same savior-minded illness. They include those infected by Stockholm Syndrome, those infected with Robinson Crusoe syndrome, and those brainwashed by religion. At the HERU Interface of Dark Consciousness, we know that when the heat gets turned up on the Consciences of the Unethical Ones, their only refuge is to engage in Sanity Resistance.
Stockholm syndrome is a mental disorder in which a person that is held against his will, will begin to emotionally sympathize with his captor. Eventually the captive person will begin to assist his captor to fulfill the captor’s overall mission and objectives. It’s called Stockholm syndrome due to an incident in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage for six days. During the standoff, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, and even defended them after they were freed.
Robinson Crusoe syndrome is derived from the famous book by the same name about a shipwrecked European sailor stuck on a small South Pacific Island. One day the sailor (Robinson Crusoe) encountered a Black savage being chased by a group of other Black savages and decided to help the savage. After they both eluded the gang of savages, the sailor discovered that the gang of savages was chasing the one savage to eat him as it was their culture and it was his turn to be eaten. Robinson Crusoe named the savage (Friday) and the two became loyal friends.
There is nothing wrong with this scenario on the surface but if you have the capacity to think below the surface, you will realize the racism and moral superiority message behind the book. A lot of Black Americans possess this kind of savior mentality and believe that slavery was a benefit because it saved them from the savagery of African culture, which is still portrayed in media as backwards and uncivilized. Ahead of the announcement of the new school curriculum I heard some Black fools on YouTube stating that Black people should be grateful to Europeans because they were the first people in history to abolish slavery and even point out that slavery still exists in many areas of Africa.
In reality, there is a huge difference between African slavery and European slavery. African slavery is closer to a form of Indentured Servitude and not the Chattel slavery that Europeans imposed on Africans. In Africa, slavery was often a form of debt bondage, where people were enslaved as a result of owing a debt or being unable to pay a debt. Even so and due to the negative stigmas attached to the practice, the following African countries have since outlawed slavery: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, and Zambia.
Chattel slavery is a form of slavery in which people are treated as the personal property of another person. It is a system of forced labor in which people are bought and sold as property, and are forced to work without pay. Simply put, Chattel slavery in America was based on race and was a form of permanent, hereditary station.
The 3rd form of white supremacist in Black skin are the savior minded religious fools. It seems that no matter how much you try to tell people that religion is not the source of morality, they still won’t believe. The fact is that all we as humans really need to live moral lives is a conscience-based belief system. That is why all cultures around the world have different spiritual belief systems. Europeans came along and taught us that there is only one true God and belief system and it must be true, as they are the most powerful humans because they believe in him.
No other race of Americans attends churches in greater numbers than Black people yet Black communities are still plagued by crime, violence, and poverty. Instead of deducing that crime, violence, and poverty in Black communities is a concerted effort by white supremacists to keep Black people down, Black Christians would rather believe that Black problems are due to disobedience and lack of faith in a white Christian God, which translates into laziness, immorality, and poor self-discipline.
Savior mindedness traps Black minds in Stockholm and Robin Crusoe syndromes so that we will continue to support white supremacy. Savior mindedness keeps us from creating our own spiritual motivations in life so that we will remain sub-servient to the unethical religious beliefs of our oppressors. Savior mindedness is a negative crutch that is keeping Black people from achieving our true potential as the saviors of humanity. There is no savior except ourselves and only when we come to that realization, will we then begin to wrestle the cognition of the Life Entity away from the unethical ones.
