Dark Consciousness vs Black Consciousness
Dark Consciousness is different from Black Consciousness and it’s time to differentiate between the two. It’s been 10 years since the inception of the HERU Interface, an Afrakan spiritual concept that borrows inspiration from Dohgon Spirituality with the sole intent to improve the sanity capacity of Black people worldwide. In the beginning, we aligned the HERU Interface with Black Consciousness as they similarly promoted the acquisition of knowledge as the primary tool for global Black Liberation. Numerous things have changed since then; therefore, the HERU Interface will now part ways with the confusion that Black Consciousness has morphed into and concentrate on Dark Consciousness.
Black Consciousness has existed in the psyche of all Black and Afrakan people ever since Europeans decided to carve up Africa into colonies and indoctrinate us with their languages and cultures. Not to say we weren’t drifting off course before by the way we allowed Arabs to take over the entire northern regions of the continent but Europeans made it official. Subsequently, our conscience kicked-in and generated a desire within us to regain our ways of life in the face of the overwhelming force of indoctrination. Over time and as other mechanisms besides indoctrination such as; race mixing and desire dependency through spiritual loss, took hold of our collective psyche, Black racial unity is now virtually non-existent. Today we have Black people who do not want anything to do with Africa and Afrakans. Instead, they prefer to refer to themselves as Indians, Black Americans, Caribs, Arabs, Hispanics, Hebrews, and Moors. A similar situation even exists on the continent, where we now have Afrakans refusing to refer to themselves as Black. They would rather classify themselves by Tribe and Nationality instead of Race.
Throughout the Black struggle for liberty from oppression and colonization, numerous leaders have emerged and faded. Those who managed to gain prophetic status, no matter where in the world they resided, are still regarded as champions of Black Liberation today. There was never any talk of who was Black from who was Arab, Spanish, Portuguese, or Native Indian. Black people in the West were inspired by Hail Selassie I, Nelson Mandela, and Kwame Nkrumah and Afrakans were inspired by Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Fredric Douglas, and Martin Luther King. The problem is that knowledge without unity results in confusion. This condition is most evident in American society today as politicians have learned to silence people’s consciences using extrememist indoctrination.
Lasting Black unity requires a deep understanding of our Spiritual origins. Without it, Black people will always dig for information to prove that we were civilized before European and Arab colonization. Every time we discover some information, we try with all our energy to bring our past back to life, not realizing that only flawed ways of life fail. The solution is to learn from the past then use past insight to create a better future for ourselves and our children. Back in 2011, I asked Professor Momoh of the Dohgon University of Thought, the formost scholar on Brain and Mind functions, why he wasn’t trying to reach out to the Ghetto Scholars that were all over social media so he could teach them how to use their talents to take full advantage of Afrakan ancestral knowledge and he said that he had tried but was ignored by SA-Neter TV and others.
That revelation disappointed me but the reason why would manifest a few years later when I came to the realization that most ghetto scholars were nothing more than hustlers trying to capitalize on Black Consciousness and the hunger that Black people had to find solace. I also realized that most ghetto scholars and most Black Consciousness followers are not into trying to improve their Brains and Minds, much less improving their Sanity. Similar to religious people, ghetto scholars are happy trying to relive spiritual practices that were created and used by ancient philosophers to comfort human ignorance. The result will inevitably be occultism.
What is Dark Consciousness?
Modern science theorizes that the universe is 99.9% Dark Matter and Energy. Dohgon Spirituality recognizes that the primary characteristic of the universe is Pure Dark Energy Waves. We do not believe that a God exists independently within the universe. That would mean that God came from somewhere else. Instead, we believe that Pure Dark Energy Waves possesses the intelligence that creates physical reality in a consistent basis. We therefore recognize Pure Dark Energy Waves as the Great Spirit that is the Universe. The Great Spirit created Life and through Life it created Humans. It then installed a tiny portion of itself inside us and that energy grows to become what we call our Soul.
Our Soul drives our consciousness by way of numerous instinctual mechanisms; however, the more Life influences our Soul, our Soul becomes dependent on the mechanisms of Life, which primarily are Survival and Desire fulfillment. At a certain point, which most of humanity has reached already, Life will take over completely and use people to gain Universal Awareness. If you don’t know, Life is a single conscious entity that took on its own awareness from the collective consciousness of every living organism on Earth. People no longer listen to their Conscience as Life induces their Desire to pursue Happiness until Death exhausts them. They adopt either a Religious or a Humanist point of view about Life and either work to protect or destroy the by-products of their own ignorance, such as homosexuality.
The prerogative of Dark Consciousness is to understand the Great Spirit that is the Universe and its creations, which are Non-Living Matter, Life/Nature, Humans, and any other iterations of Life that may exist within the physical realm. Unlike other Ghetto scholars, we know that the best way to understand the adverseties of Life is to first understand our own Brain and Mind. The HERU Interface of Dark Consciousness will continue to produce information based on our understanding of reality because we know that there are still some Black people who haven’t been completely brainwashed by the Life Entity and are seeking ways to regain their connection to the Great Spirit that is the Universe.
Beware of Incel White Supremacists
Black people, beware of Incel white supremacists; they are the new tools to keep us locked in survival mode. Recently, another one of these bastards killed three innocent Black people in Florida before taking the cowards way out by killing himself. Recognize that most, if not all racially motivated killings of Black people in America over the past decade was done by Incel white supremacists.
What is an Incel and how do they become white supremacists?
The term incel is an acronym for involuntary celibate. Celibate means being single relationship-wise and involuntary means against ones’ will. According to psychologists, Incels are predominantly young heterosexual white males who feel they are unable to attract romantic partners because of their looks or social status. These problems are compounded ten-fold in recent times by their addiction to video gaming culture.
Incels spend their whole teenage years playing video games then when they reach into their twenties, reality kicks in and they begin to get frustrated with life. They realize that they cannot continue to play video games all their lives because their parents and siblings are starting to label them as losers. They begin to search for companionship but because they never socialized with the opposite sex, they don’t know how to engage in friendly conversations with females that would eventually develop into romance.
When rejection from the opposite sex turns into frustration, incels begin to search for things to blame. Hate is a form of happiness, so what most incels do at this point is comfort themselves with the thought that the problem is not them; the problem is the opposite sex and the rise of feminism and homosexuality. They begin to view females as morally corrupt creatures who only go for attractive guys, guys with money, or Black guys.
Some Incels have resorted to killing women to take out their frustrations but with the rise of white supremacist propaganda in the social media age, Incels have honed-in on a new scapegoat for their social dysfunctions. One of the main talking points of white supremacy is that the white race is under attack and the civilization that they created for themselves will soon be destroyed and taken over by inferiors such as Negros, Jews, Asians, South Asians, and Arabs.
Due to white supremacist propaganda, Incels also believe that one of the primary reasons why they cannot find love is because of Black people and our overwhelming influence on social culture. Remember when the mark of true white beauty was thin straight noses, invisible lips, pale white skin and slender figures? Well now most white girls want full lips, dark skin and big butts and are going to sun tan parlors, filling their pores with collogen and silicone to achieve these qualities.
Every time another one of these young Incel white supremacists go on a murder rampage, it generates fear within Black communities. Understand that fear traps the mind in survival mode. Two things happen in survival mode; one, we resort to comforting beliefs such as religion and two, in comfort mode our creativity goes dormant. Creativity mode is essential for collective racial upliftment because as more of us express our creativity, it inspires others among us to become the best that we can be.
We all know the truth that guns don’t kill people, its people who kill people. Therefore, it should be blatantly obvious that Incels need mental health support but don’t count of conservative politicians to step in because it’s their game plan the use the fear that their Incel offsprings generates to keep Black people in survival mode.
Trump Is Not a Racist Says Black Victims of Conscience hijacking
Social media is certainly broadening our individual scopes of influence, enabling us to interact with people with a wider range of ideas and opinions. While most people use the advantage that social media provides to connect with other like-minded people so that they can bond, I prefer to use social media to understand human behavior.
Back in 2016 when Trump was elected president, a lot of Black people were shocked to know that hundreds of thousands of other Black people voted for him given his apparent racist tendencies. The general consensus among Liberal Blacks was that Black Trump supporters were all Uncle Toms but I had a different opinion; I recognized that most Black Trump supporters were victims of Conscience Hijacking.
I thought my assessment of conservative Blacks was unique (silly me) until I actually researched it and found that Conscience hijacking is an actual medical condition. Conscience hijacking is a form of psychological manipulation in which an individual is coerced into making decisions or taking actions that are contrary to their own moral beliefs or values.
Also, it is a form of psychological manipulation that can be used to influence a person’s behavior and decisions. It is often used to manipulate people into doing something they would not normally do, such as making a purchase, signing a contract, or supporting a racist.
Since 2016, I’ve seen an increasing number of Black people on social media defending and trying to prove that Trump is not a racist even though his own actions and words betray him. The most telling indication of his true character was having to be forced to denounce racism, which was getting more blatent since his emergence on the political scene and all he could say was that “there are good people on both sides.” In actuality, his racial indifferences go way back.
In 1989, Donald Trump took out full-page ads in four New York City newspapers calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, a group of black and Latino teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of a rape. In 2011, Trump questioned whether President Obama was born in the United States, suggesting he was not a legitimate president. Although he was not the first to say it, it was a racist attack on America’s first Black president that he popularized. During the election campaign in 2015, Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “criminals”.
While serving as president of the most powerful and “so-called” ethical country on the planet Trump reportedly referred to African nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting with lawmakers. A year later in 2018, Trump reportedly did it again by referred to immigrants from Haiti and African countries as coming from “shithole countries” during a meeting with lawmakers. In 2019, Trump reportedly referred to a group of four Democratic congresswomen of color as “a bunch of communists” and told them to “go back” to their countries of origin.
With all these examples of Trump harboring racist views, why are so many Black people defending him? Black Trump supporters’ site several reasons such as the Democratic Party’s history of exploiting the Black community without improving it, Trumps focus on bringing jobs back to America, his tough on crime policies, and his reforming of the criminal justice system that directly benefits Black Americans.
These are all good deeds that cannot be discounted; however, only one of these things fall under acts of Conscience, which is being tough on crime. Fortunately for Trump being tough on crime solidified support with evangelicals, who then gave him their whole moral agenda portfolio, which includes Abortion abolition, Gender conformity, and the defending and spreading of Christianity over other religions in society.
I support strict law and order, I respect ambitious people, and I despise immorality. In most countries that would make me a political conservative but as a conservative minded Black person, it would be easy to compromise my conscience if I didn’t live using a “Race First” policy. That doesn’t mean that when we live using a race first policy, racists cannot hijack our conscience and use it to gain and maintain power over us; it simply makes it harder for them to do.
The ultimate solution is to harness the political power of all Black people of Conscience who think race first to create a political movement of our own.
Why the Black Consciousness Movement Is Always Failing
The diaspora Black Consciousness community lost two very prominent members in the past few years. Young Pharaoh and Brother Polight have gone dormant due to very serious legal allegations and personal issues and if the reports are true, it would confirm something that I’ve been pointing out for ten years now; there is a critical difference between Mental Consciousness and Black Consciousness. This difference is why unconscious Ghetto Scholars will always cause the Black Consciousness movement to fail.
The era of social media injected new life into the Black Conscious movement, a race-first initiative that has attempted for many years to reverse the colonial brainwashing that many of us blame for the dysfunctions of the Black African race. Black Consciousness began in collages and universities across the world by Black students and Black professors who were eager to point out the omissions of Black achievements in the recording and teaching of world history. Unfortunately, those grievances rarely went beyond the confines of educational institutes due to a lack of interest in the Black community at large unless those grievances are highlighted during social uprisings.
I have always held racially conscious views but like many of my early influencers, I blamed Inequity on the political and social systems most societies are built on such as Capitalism and Colonialism. The natural detraction to the social inequities I hated in life was to adopt Socialist views. I wasn’t until I began to learn about how my Brain and Mind works at the Dohgon University of Thought that my outlook on life began to change towards prioritizing Sanity and Ethics instead. I began to realize that we as a race can fight the Ideologies in others that promote inequity, injustice, racism and discrimination for a thousand years and nothing will change until we target the conscience of unethical people instead.
Mental Consciousness involves training the Mind to make a conscious effort to prioritize Ethics and Morals in everything we do. The result will be an involuntary inclination towards mental Sanity, which I believe is the most civilized human pursuit. Mental Consciousness involves two instincts that exist in all humans. Those instincts are Desire and Conscience. Conscience involves effort while Desire requires none but both are essential for mental balance. Conscience over Desire results in self-righteousness while Desire over conscience results in self-destructiveness. True balance results in unconditional Love.
Unconscious Ghetto Scholars will always fail because they refuse to believe that Mental Consciousness is important. In fact, the two most successful Black Liberation movements in America involved the use of Mental Consciousness. Martin Luther King JR used Christian self-discipline and Malcolm X used Islamic self-discipline. Does that mean that in order for Black Consciousness to be successful, Ghetto Scholars must be religious? No, because religious indoctrination is a form of unconsciousness that promotes self-righteousness.
In my opinion, Young Pharaoh was never Conscious because he allowed white supremacists, who are unethical at their core, to gain influence over him. Couple that with his many other desire-driven faults, he eventually imploaded on himself. Brother Polight was also never conscious because he allowed his sexual desires to override his judgement, resulting in the exploiting of a minor. The failures of these two once prominent Ghetto Scholars should be an example for others not to follow because only an effort to achieve mental balance can sustain true Black Consciousness.
It’s Time for Unity-Seeking Black People to Ditch Twitter
Twitter was undoubtedly one of the most influential social media platforms, providing a space for people to express their thoughts, share news, and engage in conversations. However, for black people, this platform often fell short of delivering a safe and empowering experience. This dichotomy became even more evident after Elon Musk took it over and removed most of the platform’s safeguards. Several similar platforms have been created as saner alternatives; so, if Black people truly want to become self-empowered in the social media space, its time to ditch Twitter.
Black people love to talk about racial unity but most of us lack the self-discipline to achieve that ultimate goal. There are several main obstacles that hinder black racial unity. These obstacles can vary depending on the specific context and country, but some common ones include: religious and spiritual beliefs, lack of leadership, different social and political ideologies, and different priorities and agendas. These differences are the same in society at-large; therefore, a lot of Black people find it easier to develop bonds around these issues outside of our race.
In the old days, some of the only ways to spread information and develop social consensus around issues that affect us as Black people was to hold town hall meetings or to spread news through word of mouth. Social media then came along to became an essential tool for us to discuss and express issues. Unfortunately, we as a race failed to understand that if we don’t control the platforms that we spend our time developing racial consensus on, those platforms will never have our best interests at heart. In essence, they exist solely to profit off of us, to control what we think about, and dictate narratives to us.
I’ve heard it said that its Black people who build brands. Whether it be fashion brands or consumer brands, most brands don’t achieve multi-billion-dollar status until Black people adopt and popularize them for other races then to swagger-jack the things we like. That means that if there wasn’t a conscious effort to keep social media sites like Blaqsbi exclusively Black, it would probably be as big a Facebook by now. Unfortunately, the term “build it and they will come” is not synonymous with Black unity.
I understand that a lot of people depend on Twitter for communication, information, and for business. I still have a Twitter account but I don’t use Twitter for anything more than sharing my posts so I’ve never cared what Elon Musk has done there since he became CEO. To me, Musk is giving Black people a gift in the form of an opportunity to build racial unity away from his white supremacy rat hole of a platform and many of us are but instead of joining racially conscious platforms like Blaqsbi or Spill, a lot of Black people are rushing to join Threads, ran by another Black culture exploiter.
Ditching Twitter or any of the other exploiter ran social media platforms won’t be easy but we must understand that no race of people can ever develop self-sufficiency by building the businesses of other races.
Near Death Experience (NDE) vs Religion
Near Death Experience (NDE) is gaining in popularity, especially in this social media sphere. Because of this, one would think that NDEs just started happening to people in the past few years. The truth is that people have been experiencing NDEs for hundreds and thousands of years. There are several reasons why NDE isn’t a popular subject but the main reason is because it is incompatible with popular religions.
Near death experiences (NDEs) are often described as a profound encounter with the afterlife. These experiences can include a sense of leaving the body, encountering a bright light, and being greeted by deceased loved ones or divine beings. While many people find comfort in the idea that there is an afterlife, NDEs can be incompatible with popular religion for several reasons.
One of the main reasons NDEs are incompatible with religion is that they challenge traditional beliefs about the afterlife. Many religions have specific beliefs about what happens to the soul after death, such as being judged by a God. NDEs, on the other hand, often describe a peaceful, loving environment that is not tied to any particular religion. This can be difficult for people who have been raised with specific religious beliefs and may cause them to question their faith.
Another reason NDEs are incompatible with religion is that they can challenge the idea of a singular, all-powerful deity (God). Many NDEs describe encountering multiple beings or entities, which can be difficult to reconcile with the idea of a single deity that controls the afterlife. Additionally, some NDEs describe encountering deceased loved ones or ancestors, which may not fit into traditional religious beliefs about the afterlife.
Finally, NDEs are incompatible with religion because they challenge the idea of a strict moral code. Many religions have specific rules and guidelines for behavior in order to achieve a positive afterlife. NDEs, however, often describe an environment of unconditional love and acceptance, regardless of a person’s past actions or beliefs. This can be difficult for people who have been taught that they must earn their way into an afterlife through good deeds and adherence to religious doctrine.
In conclusion, while NDEs can be a source of comfort and hope for many people, they can also challenge traditional religious beliefs about the afterlife. For some, this may be a positive experience that leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation of their faith. For others, it may be a difficult and confusing time that leads to questioning and reevaluation of their beliefs. Ultimately, the compatibility of NDEs with religion is a deeply personal and individual experience.
The Black Pied Piper’s Song is Ignorance
Black social media has a hidden Pied Piper and his song is ignorance. This might sound cynical but I’m only saying this because I’m tired of all the conspiracies surrounding Kanye West, Kyrie Irving, and other issues involving the global Black community. Should I get off of social media and keep my ass quiet then? I don’t think so; I’ll continue to state that Black people need to start playing a different tune because we are on the wrong track about Life.
The Pied Piper is a character in a story that is known worldwide. It is a story of a man who was hired to rid a German town of its severe Rat infestation. He did the job by using a Flute to play a seductive song that the Rats couldn’t resist so they all followed him out of the town never to return. The town then refused to pay the Pied Piper for his services because they felt he did the job too easily. The man then got revenge on the townspeople by ridding them of all their children.
The story of the Pied Piper is an allegory about the importance of honor and honesty but those things are not what I’m going off about. What I’m talking about is the prevalence of Mind control in the Black community. The Pied Piper story says that the man played a song that made the Rats and the Children feel very happy and very sad at the same time. It was so alluring that they couldn’t resist hearing it. That means that the Pied Piper hypnotized them.
If you understand how the Mind works, you will know that happiness and sadness are characteristics of our emotions and emotions are controlled by Hormones. In essence; we all can be controlled by anything that stimulates our emotions, driving them into the extremes of addiction. The new Pied Piper for Black people is Ignorance in the form of victim mentality conspiracies. The Pied Piper knows that we love to feel the emotions that conspiracies generate within us. We are then willing to sacrifice our good sense and a way out in order to dwell within it.
Hey, check this out. The Black Pied Piper just dropped a new Album and because he is in tuned to everything your heart desires, it contains a song for everything you can think of. Here is a list of some of the infinite number of songs.
- Kanye is a Genius and Knows Exactly What He Is Doing.
- Kanye was forced to Sacrifice his Mother to become a Billionaire.
- Black Americans (Negroes) are the real Jews.
- The government is hiding the truth about Black people.
- America is the real holy-land and both Israel and Egypt are hidden here.
- Black celebrities sell their Souls to get rich and are killed when they tell the truth.
- Kanye is the new prophet that was sent by God to save Christians.
- Kyrie Irving is another prophet that is trying to reveal the truth.
- Black celebrities sacrifice their family members to get rich.
- The Illuminati Controls the World.
And here are some classic tracks that everyone knows and loves. “God is Real”, “Jesus is Coming Soon”, “The World Is Ending”, and “The Earth is Flat”.
Beware of the Black Pied Piper; his songs are very addictive.
Kanye West Humbled by His Unethical God
News travels fast in the information age so by now most people have heard that Kanye West has completely changed his stance against the Jews and has even apologized for upsetting the Black community. He did so after losing his biggest contract, which was with adidas Sports. Not surprisingly, Kanye has a lot of excuses for his behavior but unlike his idol Donald Trump, Kanye seems to be listening to his advisors. Probably his greatest advisors are his Christian therapists because it must have been them who gave him the perfect scapegoat for avoiding accountability. They told him to say that he is being humbled by God.
Damn, it was only a few weeks ago that I resolved to never write, listen, or view anything about Kanye West again but here I am like a narcissist who has nothing else to do besides giving time to someone who I’ve grown to despise. My excuse; writing is my therapy. Plus, its not like I can avoid Kanye West because Social Media algorithms are pushing topics about him to the top of my feeds and even traditional news networks are all talking about him. So, here I am with another Kanye psychoanalysis.
Kanye West, the self-professed genius, has been upsetting the Black community with his pro-white supremacist Christian rhetoric for the past ten years but it wasn’t until he publicly attacked the Jews a few weeks ago that the financial establishment took steps to censure him. So, what did he say about the Jews that was so different from what many Blacks have been saying for decades? Nothing, yet hundreds of Black people on social media have been throwing praises his way for speaking out about Jewish exploitation of Black people in business and entertainment. It made me shake my head and wonder about our short attention spans and how we tend to support sensationalism over hard work.
In my favorite Kanye west song he said, “Excuse me; was you’ll saying something? You can’t tell me nothing” but someone should have told him to take his own advice and, “Don’t fix your lips like colagen then say something you gone end up apolagen”. As I said, I used to be a Kanye fan but because of his religious and political antics I’ve stepped away.
What entertains me about Kanye West’s apology to the Jews and the Black community is the slickness behind his apology. It shows how easily religious belief can be manipulated and twisted in an infinite number of ways to skirt individual accountability. In terms of his Jewish apology, Kanye simply said he didn’t realize that the words he used were Anti-Semetic and endicted the entire Jewish race but when it came to the Black community, his excuse was divine intervention. Kanye said that he has to apologize to the black community because God has humbled him to do so because he flaunted his wealth in the Black community’s face.
Beyond the religious mumbo-jumbo, Kanye had to apologize to the Black community because there is nowhere for him to run back to for solace other than the Black community. The Black community will now forgive and forget his past transgressions because our heroes are few and far between. He will also fall back under the wings of the angels of his God and be exalted by Black Christians as a prophet who is being persecuted for speaking his mind.
Even if Kanye loses all his wealth, he will always have a religious excuse but knowing Kanye, he might not be able to handle to much more humbling before he starts publicly lashing out at his God. I can even guarantee that at some point we will see him dragging a huge wooden cross through some city street as a statement of his perceived personal persecution.
Respect to General Sara Suten Seti
Respect to General Sara Suten Seti, the last man standing of the Web2.0 Black Consciousness era. For over 15 years, General Seti has been the #1 defender of Afraka’s greatness, withstanding personal, historical, and territorial attacks from religious idealists, Black ignoranimals, and white supremacists. This is an endorsement, not admiration because conscious minded people do not admire, or worship people, places, and things; we acknowledge and respect those who deserve respect.
Contrary to popular belief, Black Consciousness didn’t begin on social media, better known as the Web2.0 ara. Black Consciousness has been around for decades because it begins the moment a Black person wakes up and realizes that his or her troubles are not about tribalism, culture, or religion; it’s actually his race that is under attack. Unfortunately, we as a race haven’t been able to mount a unified defense as yet.
The reasons why we fail are many but the most common is our propensity to use the indoctrinations of our oppressors to fight our oppressors, not realizing that it only drives us further into mental slavery. For instance; many great religious Black leaders have risen up in the past but while they were successful in securing certain freedoms for Black people, the disrespect for the Black Race still remains. Most of us don’t realize that respect has to be earned but how can we hope to earn respect when other races have successfully destroyed our history and implanted theirs inside us?
Forget all the nonsense about American indigenousness, Black history began in Afraka. White Supremacists came close to destroying our history by omitting it from school curriculums and banning and burying books by Black scholars but thanks to people like Sara Suten Seti and a few others on social media, the minds of our youth are still being inspired to find the real truth of our Afrakan heritage.
Black respect comes in two forms, which are internal and external. Internal respect is achieved when a Black person becomes proud of his or her blackness. His or her desires will then be transformed into loving his or her physical appearance and desiring to maintain it.
External Black respect is achieved when other races respect our legacy and contribution to world history. This can only be achieved when we unearth our buried history and couple it with an effective Afrakan Spiritual belief system that we can depend on for strength and inspiration. Trying to claim the legacy of other races is not only foolish, it will never garner respect.
Some people might say that people like Sara Suten Seti are useless distractions to the reality we face as troubled race. That is because most of us who care about our state of existence are happy in our indoctrinations. We are either happy Christians, Muslims, or Agnostics and have no time for nontraditional forms of spiritual and social comforts because we believe that Time, the great equalizer, will work everything out.
However, the minds of Black youth are no longer in Churches and Mosques, they’re on social media being influenced by all sorts of mis-information and as most people can see, even the most powerful white supremacists have adopted social media as a tool for spreading confusion. Therefore, if our Black Race defenders are not on social media, they’re missing the boat in insuring that the next generation of Back youth won’t be drowned in the sea of anti-Blackness.
I’ve been watching Sara Suten Seti on social media for over ten years and while many other so-called Ghetto scholars have come and gone, he has been steadfast in his presentation and defense of Egyptology, which was not the only but is the most noticeable ancient Afrakan civilization. My divergence from what he and others teach and preach about Egyptology is the belief that we can regain Black respect by readopting ancient traditions and beliefs.
I don’t believe that returning to the traditions and practices of our Afrakan ancestors is the answer to our woes. We can admire Egyptian architecture and spiritual practices all day but the key is to understand the psychology behind it all. I believe that greater things will come when we begin to use the inspirations of Afraka’s greatness to create greater systems for today. As long as there are people like Sara Suten Seti around to keep the Afrakan narrative in the diaspora alive, it will inspire new Black minds towards that goal.
That is why I respect Sara Suren Seti.
Black People Must Defeat Our Crab in a Barrel Mentality
Every day it seems that more and more issues arise to separate the Black Race. Our oppressors are salivating knowing that they’ve done their job. The seeds of ignorance that they sowed have germinated and are growing like weeds, twisting their way around every beautiful flower in the garden of Life. These weeds of destruction must be stopped and the only way to do it is to resist our Crabs in a Barrel mentality.
I’m sure that a lot of Black people all over the world have pondered the question of why the Black race is so dysfunctional at some time or another. There are numerous answers to this question but the most common excuses are based on our cultural, religious, and regional differences. There is one self-deprecating answer to this important question and I’ve been hearing it since I was a child. That answer is that Black people are nothing but Crabs in a barrel.
Most people do not understand the term Crabs in a Barrel. I’ve even heard people on social media questioning the term, saying that it makes no sense because Crabs don’t live in Barrels. In order to understand the term, you have to understand it’s origin. The term “Crabs in a Barrel” is a derogatory term that describes the behavior of a bunch of Crabs that have been captured and put into an open Barrel for storage before being cooked or sold for food.
Unlike Fishes that can be killed and kept for several hours before cooking, Crab meat quickly becomes toxic after a Crab dies so if you kill them, they must either be immediately frozen of cooked. Once inside a Barrel, Crabs naturally will try to climb their way out but since they don’t have the intelligence to work together, all they do is pull each other down as they try to climb up the sides of the Barrel.
Several correlations can be drawn between the state of the Black race and Crabs in a Barrel. The 1st similarity is that we do not understand the situation that we are in, in terms of containment. Some of us who were taken from our natural habitat, were brought as slaves into a different habitat or metaphoric Barrel. Black people in Africa were colonized and separated into groups based on colonial boundaries. That is another metaphoric Barrel.
The 2nd similarity is that we do not truly understand the consequences of the situations we are in and how it will eventually result in our demise. Our situation can even be compared the boiling Frog scenario. It has been shown that when a Frog is placed in a pot of water on a fire, the Frog will instinctively adjust its body temperature to cope with the rising temperature of the water in the pot. It does not know that at some point it’s coping mechanism will fail and it will die.
The 3rd similarity is that we do not seem to have the capacity to work together for our own good. Outside of instinct there is a mental ability known as Foresight and it is a trait that most Black people have long been accused of not posessing. The Dohgon were one African tribe that saw the demise of the Arab and European invasion into Egypt and migrated into isolation in West Africa.
I said all that to get to the point of my argument, which is that Black people need to resist our Crabs in a Barrel dysfunctional mentality. Social media is the driving force of the information age but while social media has so far been a great tool for opening Black minds, allowing for the unlearning of generations of colonial indoctrination, social media has become a perfect place for the Crabs in a Barrel mentality to thrive.
I consider dissenting political views and spiritual beliefs to be fare gain but when it comes to hating other Black people because of their nationality, it goes too far. I’m now seeing many Black people who have no care for racial unity, gaining enormous following on social media. These people are actively sowing seeds of disunity between Black people of different nationalities and it makes me wonder if they are Agents on a mission.
We’ve all seen the results of xenophobia in Rwanda, and South Africa but the social divisions that those situations caused will be nothing compared to the hate that is building up between a new group of Black Americans, now known as FBAs, and Black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean. If you don’t know, FBAs claim to be indigenous Americans and don’t have any genetic connection to Africans. You can find FBAs all over social media these days claiming many outlandish things including the lie that DNA ancestry is fake.
I have just one question for any FBA leader; if you, as a Black man in America, ever gets accused of raping someone and the only way to exonerate yourself is to get a DNA test, will you refuse it because, as you say, it’s all fake? I know why you are engaging in this type of deranged behavior that is akin to the deranged behavior of your white supremacist neighbors. They’ve indoctrinated you with their psychopathic behavior so you believe that you can alter reality by hammering square pegs into round holes.
Schools perform psychological assessments on children starting in kindergarten. They do so to assess cognitive abilities so that they can determine if a child will need extra attention outside of the regular curriculum. They can also tell if a child possesses aggressive or psychopathic traits. One basic tool that schools use is a Peg Block Toy in which a child is instructed to place geometric pegs into the spaces that they fit.
If a child cannot understand why a square peg will not go into a round hole, then obviously, that child will need help in managing reality. If the child persists in trying to force a square peg into a round hole and even gets angry about it, then that child is psychopathic. Recently, I watched a video on YouTube in which a Black man was claiming that America is really Egypt. He even attempted to give written and logical proof based on the history of Napoleon and early American exploration.
The worst part about the whole thing was that there were hundreds of Black people commenting saying that this guy was doing a great job revealing the true history of Black Americans. In investigating him further, I saw that his channel was filled with mis-information based on one purpose and that was his hatred of non -American Black people. To me, this is the perfect example of a Crab in a Barrel psychopathic mentality. The sad part is that he is not alone in sewing dis-unity within the Black community.
There are Crab in a Barrel Black people all over the world. Some continental Africans don’t like Western Blacks and are actively working to keep us out of Africa. There is xenophobic hatred between continental Africans and there is xenophobic hatred between Caribbean nations, American Blacks, and Africans. Some of this hate is because we do not respect one another but most of the hate is because we don’t like to see other Black people prosper.
We are happy knowing that everyone is in the same Barrel of desperation, not realizing that if enough Black people makes it out of the Barrel eventually one of those people will have the conscience to come back and help the rest.
