Should Black People Feel Sorry For Asians?
The Covid-19 pandemic is known to have originated in China. Ever since this revelation, Asians of all nationalities have been experiencing various levels of hatred from other races because as we all know, it doesn’t take much to revert human nature from friendliness to animosity and of course, there is no race more malicious than Caucasians. So, now that Asians are feeling the pain of white hatred, should we as Black people feel sorry for Asians?
Hatred against Asians has risen a thousand-fold in the past year. Most Asians are not Chinese but since hatred and ignorance are directly related, all Asians are being scapegoated for causing the pandemic, which has transformed the social and economic order of every society on Earth. Verbal abuse and physical assaults against Asians in America turned deadly this past week as six Asian women were shot and killed by a white man in Atlanta.
Asians are now crying out all over Social media and many have taken to marching in the streets to protest against racism. For a seemingly passive race of people, they sure have woken up to the reality that racism is not something to ignore or partake in. Although they have experienced severe racism at the hands of white people before, they have chosen to blend into every white community like Chameleons and support racist economic and political policies that disenfranchise Black people.
Asians have also blended into many Black and African countries where they are known to engage in exploitative and unethical business practices. In China last year, thousands of Black and African people were deported when false rumors began to spread that Black people were disease carriers. We know that not all Asians are bad but isn’t it funny how the tables have turned against them and now they are getting a taste of the hate that Black people have had to endure from them and other races.
Our conscience dictates that we should sympathize and empathize with anyone who is experiencing injustice. Most people believe that their conscience is being influenced by their god, therefore they will allow themselves to express empathy according to their religion, which is totally wrong because as we all know, many atrocities are being carried out in the name of religion. True empathy cannot be selective.
For example; many Asians are Christians yet those who are expressing hatred towards them are also Christians. So, where is the disconnect? The disconnect exists due to the main flaw of religion, which is the encouraging of a competition to become the most righteous in the eyes of our various gods. Some races believe that they are righteous by default and some believe that the ability to endure pain is a golden pass in the competition. It is a crown of thorns.
Either way, the pain of victim-hood is too physically and mentally severe to endure so most people will cry out in despair and forget their religious illusions. Black people have been experiencing physical and psychological pain at the hands of other races for so long that most of us have become numb and indifferent to our own pain and the pain of others. Those of us who are sworn Christians have fully adopted the principle of forgiveness by believing that pain is a thorny crown of purification.
Do I feel sorry for Asians? Well, based on the principles of the HERU Interface of Black Consciousness, everything in life is a learning experience. I believe that Ethics is the most civilized human pursuit and since Ethics is a product of Conscience, I do empathize with Asians in their plight against racism but I hope that their pain will encourage them to become more ethical in their dealings with Black and African people.
Dilemma of a Black Conservative
“I feel like a Black Republican, money keeps comin in. But I can’t turn my back on the hood, I got love for them.” – Jay-Z
The dilemma of Black conservatism is a serious one. Depending on our level of consciousness some of us may choose to live like Kanye West and some of us like Jay-Z. Conservatism is a vile term among many Black people simply because it is often associated with white supremacy and economic oppression. The fact is, many Black people think and act conservative, we just don’t practice it politically due to our racial bonds. Kanye West and Jay-Z are two Black conservatives with politically different views. One openly praises political conservatism and one fights against it.
Conservatism in America is often associated with white supremacists and racists. Take a pick from any of the known white supremacist organizations in the country and you will find they identify themselves as Christian conservatives. Religious conservatism is the belief that one’s religion is the chosen of God therefore your actions are guided and accepted by your God. That goes for all religions, as is evident with the rise of Islamic extremism throughout the world.
White supremacists believe that Christianity is the guide for all aspects of life, be it political, financial, social, or environmental, therefore they go about destroying the environment because “God put resources on Earth for them to use”. They actively seek to convert Black people to their religious ideology; not to improve the lives of Black people but to individually covet favor from their God in hopes that they will join him in Heaven.
The problem is that once a Black person is converted to religious conservatism his status does not change. He may feel that he has gained the world but he is still considered a servant to the white race. Any injustice that is inflicted on a Black person by a white person in this condition is seen as the norm of a master and slave relationship. The only alternative for religious Blacks (who have a conscience) is to get political, as in the case of Martin Luther King.
Any culture that is built on the exploitation of Black people under the excuse of religious superiority will ultimately become unjust and oppressive. Oppression is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner. Many white people will argue that they “don’t have a racist bone in their body” but they do nothing to fix the systems of oppression. They will see Black people getting gunned down by the police on a daily basis and they will do nothing.
They will see Black people being denied service at businesses and they will do nothing. They will see Black people being railroaded into prisons by the corrupt court system and they will do nothing. Their psychological condition is the result of a moral superiority complex created by religion. For that reason, Black people are scared to associate themselves with what most white people associate themselves with, which is political conservatism.
Contrary to popular belief, Black people are not an unethical race. We are hardworking, fun loving people who believe in getting good education and maintaining strong family ties. We have high ambitions of becoming Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, and Business owners. All these things require supreme self-discipline, hard work, and financial sacrifice to achieve. Those of us who make it to the top of society fall into two categories.
The first one (Kanye West) attributes his achievements to his own hard work and sacrifices so he abandons his past. He begins to think like the white man politically, fiscally, and religiously. He dumps his Black girl and picks up a white girl that everyone in sports and Hollywood has slept with simply because of his own deranged ego. Then he starts to praise the most race baiting president in history as his hero.
The second one (Jay Z) acknowledges that although he worked hard to achieve success he must pay homage to those who helped to break down many of the barriers that white supremacists put in our paths to limit our success. He maintains a fiscal and religious conservative view but he refuses to break his racial bonds, therefore he shuns the national political conservative system that enforces the oppression of Black people.
Jay-Z works behind the scenes to improve the lives of Black Americans because he knows that no matter how rich and successful he gets, he’s “Still Nigga”.
Black Pete Is a Racist Tradition
Black Pete is a racist tradition that the Dutch need to acknowledge and abolish.
The so-called Holiday Season is a time of happiness and celebration for many. However, as conscious Afrakan people we do not care for religious traditions or the characters depicted in them and under normal circumstances we wouldn’t care to speak about them here. However, this particular tradition involves a stereotypically negative portrayal of Afrakans, which we find offensive.
If you haven’t heard about Black Pete before he is a fictional character who, in Dutch tradition, is the companion of Saint Nicholas, otherwise known as Santa Claus. He is like the cheerful Elves who help the Santa Claus of western tradition; only this elf possesses distinctly negative characteristics, both psychologically and physically.
Physically, Black Pete is depicted with charcoal black skin, wooly hair, and thick red lips. His attire is clownish and varied and he carries a sac full of coal. His defenders claim Black Pete is a harmless depiction of a Moor. Others claim that Black Pete is really a white person whose skin gets black from sliding down chimneys. (I guess the soot in chimneys can make white people’s hair get woolly and their lips turn red.)
Psychologically, Black Pete is a mischievous deceiver. Although he travels with Santa Claus, the epitome of kindness, he is depicted as the opposite. He hides in the shadows; he plays tricks on children, and he gives out lumps of coal as treats. In recent times however, his character has been changing to become more cheerful and he gives out candy instead of coal. (I guess the Dutch know that change is possible; they just have to grow some conscience.)
Historically, there have been many stories told about the origin of Black Pete but the most common story is that Saint Nicholas rescued the Moorish Black boy from the streets in his native Spain. As an act of gratitude the Moorish boy decided to stay and serve his rescuer. (Doesn’t that sound like so many European stories that depict a civilized white man saving a helpless Black person from certain doom. Stories such as Robinson Caruso and Friday but I digress.)
As proud Afrakan people we despise all negative depictions of our race especially by other races. The world is changing and all unjust, unethical, and racist traditions will be dealt with. The collective consciousness of humanity is growing with knowledge. Those who resist change by using Ideology to suppress their Conscience will be forced to change; if not be us then it will be by the Spiritual essence of the universe.

How To Avoid Becoming A Terrorist
A terrorist is a Devil who seeks to kill innocent people as well as to instill fear in society. Black people must avoid this insane practice now that we are waking up and defending our own Race and Spiritual beliefs. Just know that we were never an unethical race of people but until you come to that realization, you need to learn how to avoid becoming a terrorist.
As we observe the carnage being inflicted by terrorists on innocent civilians in several European countries, the Middle East, Northern AfRAka, and America we may feel that it may never affect us, however terrorists are made, not born, therefore anyone can become a terrorist including you.
Terrorists believe that the destruction that they inflict on their victims is for a noble cause. The base of their motivation is a Bond between themselves and that cause, be it Racial, Religious, Political, or Territorial. We know this as fact because in each region the primary target of the terror is different.
In Europe the primary target of the terrorists are European. Islamic terrorists view European as the primary cause for the destruction of their Spiritual homeland in the Middle East. To them, acts of terror are a continuation of a two thousand year old religious war between Jews, Christians, and them for control of the so-called Holyland.
Furthermore, Muslims perceive that Christians and Jews are actively disrupting the development of productive self-sustaining societies in the region so that those societies will never be able to form any type of formidable force to keep others out. They believe that Islamic sects and countries that welcome foreigners are puppets controlled by Money and Western ideology.
In AfRAka, Islamic terrorists are wreaking havoc in many Sub-Saharan countries. The most terror prone country is Nigeria where the terrorist organization Boko Haram has been responsible for thousands of bombings, shootings, and kidnappings of innocent people over the past decade.
Lets not forget that Christian terrorists exist too. In the Congo, for instance, Christian militias are responsible for killing thousands of innocent Muslims. In America, Christian terrorists are forming armed militias and attacking the government. Recognize that terrorism comes in all religions and ideologies. We are mostly hearing about Islamic terrorists because of several factors, which include media source, control of the News, as well as government oversight.
All acts of terror are deplorable and we sympathize with the victims and the families of those affected by it. We know that most of these incidents of terror involve Black people either as victims or as the perpetrators. We know it may be hard to avoid becoming a victim of terror because you never know when or where a terrorist will strike.
The primary consequence of terrorism is the destruction of Life, which is a single conscious entity engaged in a process of developing Universal Awareness. Life uses mechanisms such as Risk reward and Desire fulfillment, which without the control of Conscience, manifests itself in humans as Sins or (Devilish) behavior. The lives of Black people will only begin to improve when we learn to control the Desires of Life, not through Humanism but by listening to the Great Spirit.
The Great Spirit that is the universe created Life therefore; it is the influence of the Spirit that generates Conscience, individually as well as the collective consciousness of Life. Conscience is a force similar to common forces in nature such as Electricity and Magnetism. It is not physical therefore it cannot we measured in size or weight. Conscience can only be measured by the influence it exerts on physical matter, namely Brain Cells responsible for thought and reasoning.
In order to avoid becoming a terrorist there are several variable that AfRAkans can control. One of them is to resist adopting the religious ideologies of others. By adopting the religious ideologies of others we invariable begin to sympathize with and defend their territorial bonds. Ultimately, we will fight for Rome, Mecca, and Jerusalem while dismissing our own AfRAkan Spiritual traditions.
Another way to avoid becoming a terrorist is to be Conscious about your AfRAkan Pride. When we see the levels of despair that continues to plague many AfRAkan countries we naturally seek to blame. AfRAkans have concluded that Racism and Colonization by others are the main factors. Animosity for Europeans grows, driving many AfRAkans to adopt the ideologies of others who also hate Europeans. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”.
Listen to and obey your conscience by protecting the sanctity of Life. Avoid giving power to supernatural beings such as gods and demons that would entice you to sacrifice your Life to gain a reward. Although those beings are abstract, their energy can become influential forces by way of the energy we feed them.
Evil energy is a contagious disease. Doing evil to others also generates evil in them, especially when they have substituted true Spirituality with a god. The collective evil energy humanity creates is the entity that is referred to as the Devil. Now imagine a world where everyone has to use evil life destroying mechanisms as protection against each other. (Guns, Bombs, and Missiles) Sound’s like Hell doesn’t it?
Terrorism is an evil product of Life but we cannot blame Life since Life lacks universal awareness. We are Life therefore we can only learn from our mistakes and strive to become better people by listening to our conscience. Know that those who persist in doing evil do so to please the illusions they have created to comfort their disconnection from the Great Spirit.
Do not fear evil people or terrorists. They will perish and their Souls will never know the Great Spirit. They think they will meet their gods but the only thing that will happen is their Souls will die and its energy will serve to replenish the cycle of Life until they wise up.
