Apatheticons: The Non-Transformers

     As I grow older, and willfully wiser, my tolerance level for outright ignorance and apathy was begun to wane. In the age of so-called "Wokeness", I've never seen so many people asleep. Not sleep in a sense of being unaware; there's a lot of people who can recite Bodak Yellow, breakdown the season finale of Game of Thrones and recognize conscious posts to reshare on social media. I'm talking about sleep in a sense of inactivity. For example, I've had various jobs; I've worked as a cook, a roofer, I worked at the library in college and even worked as Dr. Frankenstein at a Haunted House before. In all of these instances I've worked with people who put more energy, effort and intelligence into avoiding their job than just doing their job! These people either constantly hid from work or they mastered the art of looking busy and not doing a damn thing. The worst part about it is that these people were oftentimes the Supervisors and Managers. It's frustrating and sometimes exhausting because now you gotta add a bunch of other duties to your job description. I'm not talking about duties as in "picking up other peoples slack." I'm just talking about the mental work of coming up with all kinds of stratagems to deal with their bullsh*t each and every day. THAT is a major issue many people have at their job and in their careers. Sometimes it's not the job or career itself, sometimes it's just the people. 

   Within the Nation of the Five Percent there exists some of the same lowly elements. At times I get tired of seeing and hearing the same bullsh*t from folks whose only claim to fame is a fancy sounding name. There's Facebook Groups I've been a part of I once deemed progressive that have deteriorated into group target practice on snapshots. We have nickel and dimers who will sell you anything to get paid, including sympathy for a loved ones death. You got people living in cities relying solely on social media to learn like they're being held hostage in the house and you have people who use children for photo ops to catfish people into believing "they're in the community." That's just some of the mess I've witnessed and none of them are doing anything significant to assist others, especially the most vulnerable members of our families and community. Although these individuals don't reflect the general mindset and body of the Five Percent, like with any group, it's important to address nonsense like this. Why? Because people need to know, including other Five Percenters, that this is not what we teach or what we're striving to achieve as a Nation. In fact, these people are what I call Apatheticons. 

   The Apatheticons are the main antagonists in the universe of the Enlightened and are usually led by one undeviating goal: to not do a damn thing. The "con", in addition to their apathy, is the self-deception and trickery they use to get out of doing anything. An easy way to identify them is the way that they move, no pun intended, on social media. They always have some criticism about what's going on yet never present their criticisms with evidence of a solution or what they're actually doing about it. It reminds me of someone I once had a conversation with who was going on and on about how our youth need a tutoring program and they would do it IF they got a grant. Mind you, we're standing right in front of the public library where citizens can reserve meeting rooms for free, a block away from the Dollar Store and this person has a decent paying job. It didn't even cross their mind that they could've just done it themselves by getting some supplies down the street, reserving a meeting room at the library and talking to parents about offering tutoring services. Hell, maybe they did. When I brought it to their attention they nodded their head in approval. Five years later they still haven't done anything and that "grant" still hasn't materialized. 

   Even though it's frustrating to deal with them, I don't want you to think that all hope is lost. In my book GAMES I outline various ways to deal with people like this, but here are some points related to Apatheticons:

• My book GAMES is a humorously sharp reference guide to transactional analysis, trick-knowledge and the psychology of people running game. In other words I teach readers how to recognize, analyze, and define various Games being played on them or Games they may be participating in such as Shoulda, Coulda Woulda. I also teach a person how to dismantle Games and replace them with behavior patterns that promote healthy relationships. You can check out Games and my other titles here: Quanaah Publishing.
• If a person, your own peer or older, is not convinced about the purpose or benefit of doing something, don't lose time searching for activity that clearly doesn't exist. They may become aware in the future, they may not, which is not a practical benefit right now. If a person cannot presently see it then don't expect them to be it. Work with those who already see the purpose and benefit of doing something. 
• I always start with three solid people when it comes to getting something done: Me, Myself and I. Once you get those three on board then it's easier to get others to add-on.
• In the age of social media people try to make a living off of selling others the idea of living. There's life coaches who don't have a team, IG models from the neck up and dudes recording videos in cars that aren't going anywhere. Something common among them, and others, is there is no practical evidence of what they're actually doing every day. Whatever their niche seems to be, research others who're in that field/industry to connect with those who are actually doing the work. An excellent example of a person who is actually doing the work is my God Brother Salim Adofo; a Multi Media Journalist, DJ, Freelance Writer, Video Producer, Social Justice Advocate, Photographer, Community Organizer and Educator in the DMV area. There's a consistency with what he shares on social media and what he's doing every day. His real life activism, outreach and visibility is a practical standard to use as an assessment tool for those who claim that they're doing the work. 
• If people aren't willing and able to put their own money up, they're not about that life right now so don't expect anything from them, right now. I emphasize "right now" because they may be willing to do it in the future. Whether they do or not, it's not our job to stand there to see if that seed grows; we got work to do right now. According to BlackEntrepreneur.com, black buying power in America was projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2017. So it's oftentimes not about people not having money. Yes this is the case, sometimes. Most of the time it's about our priorities and what we're spending our money on.

True transformation, on a personal level, within our families and inside of our communities require us to be proactive. We must be willing and able to step up and do the work because no one is going to save us. In doing the work we must be mindful of those who simply don't want to do the work and those who work harder to not do the work than just doing the work to begin with. We must learn effective stratagems to deal with them. Our sanity, sanctuary and sustainability of our world depends upon it.

Parenting; L.I.E.U.T.E.N.A.N.T.

"The Duty of the Lieutenant is to 'Teach' and also 'Train' the Private Soldier" (13/1-14)

One thing about my Parents they never co-signed or ignored anything they thought wasn’t Right and Exact. At times they’d bomb me and my siblings about something or walk us through the reason and logic of something so we can cee it for ourselves. When I was in High School one time the Police came to my house looking for one of my Brothers. Me and my Ole Earth were sitting on the front porch when they walked up. They humbly asked my Ole Earth was he here and she said, “Oh yeah, he’s right inside.” Next thing you know they were escorting my Brother out of the house and he had this “Save Me!” look on his face. What was my Ole Earth’s response? She looked dead at him, turned her head and started to sing ‘Gangsta Lean’ (“this is dedicated to my homies…”) and started to pour her coffee out on the porch like a libation. I, was, horrified! I could not believe that she could be so heartless and unaffected by the Police taking my Brother, her child, away and it took me years to understand her logic. I cried and was angry all at the same time. I was upset and Brother was going to jail and I was upset my Ole Earth sat back and didn’t do anything about it, in fact, she clowned him.

This story haunted me until I had my own children and became a Parent myself. As a Parent, I learned that there were strategies to raising children and that as they grew older I had to update many of these strategies to better address their needs. Reflecting back on my Brother being taken away, that was his own doing. My Ole Earth had consistently talked to him about various choices he was making and her words couldn’t stop him. Unfortunately, he had to put his own Theories to the test and found out for himself that there wasn’t a right way to do wrong. My Ole Earth was simply wise enough to not get in the way of him getting his comeuppance. She also had the integrity to never lead him in the wrong direction by allowing him to think that his logic wasn’t flawed. She, like my Ole Dad, always gave him, us, something to think about… Yes there were times we got an ass whuppin’ and there were many more times that it was explained, suggested or jokingly expressed to us how our choices could/would result in Life whuppin’ our ass. The older I become the more I respect my Parents ability to help prepare me (and my siblings) for the Life I’m leading today!

Teaching and Training are two entirely different things. Teaching is like direct current in electricity; it goes one way from Teacher to Student. Training is like alternating current; it goes both directions as transferring, receiving and vice versa. Teaching involves information being disseminated while Training involves hands on activities, being engaged, participation and interaction with that information. While all Training involves Teaching, not all Teaching includes Training. The emphasis on the Lieutenant’s Role within the 13/1-14 is to convey the importance that the learning the process involves not simply knowing certain information b.u.t. learning how to use it. From a Parenting Perspective, this is equivalent to letting our children know about certain information about Life and showing them how to Live. One of the Mantras my Parents lived by was, “If you’re Wrong you’re Wrong. I’m not going to support you in Wrongdoing just because you’re my child.” What this translated into is that I couldn’t depend upon my Parents to have my back and speak up for me if I was in the Wrong, especially when it was something I (and they) already knew was Wrong because we already discussed it. If what I did Wrong wasn’t previously discussed, they’d treat the results as a Lesson learned (willfully) and they’d always add-on some addendums just in case I still wasn’t convinced. Cee, in my household we actually had ‘Family Meetings’ where my Parents and 6 siblings would get together and just talk about various things. One of our favorite Games my Ole Earth introduced to us was called ‘The Book of Questions’. The Book of Questions was just that, a Book of almost 300 questions about life situations where you had to give your Perspective on what you would do in certain circumstances. For example, there might be a questions in there like, “If you had to lose one sense what would it be and why?” or “If you had 24 hours to live what 3 things would you do?” Boy that was fun and I didn’t realize until I was probably in my twenties that my Ole Earth, the Trained Psychologist and Sociologist, was using that ‘Game’ as a way to Profile us and assess our Principles and Values. It also provided many teachable moments for my Parents to address some of these ideas that would be a problem for us now and somewhere down the line. My upbringing wasn’t restricted or religious. I was raised to be aware, discerning and to take responsibility for the results of my choices.

Another valuable Parenting Methods my Parents taught me was the ability to maintain their Integrity without co-signing Bullsh*t; their ability to communicate, verbally or non-verbally, their stance on certain issues without alienating themselves from me as their child. We had our conflicts yet they did an excellent job at maintaining our Relationship. For example, in High School I came home one time itchin’ like I had fleas and my Ole Earth stopped me in the kitchen and asked me what’s wrong. I said, “Nothing” and she looked me in the eye and said, “You better be happy you ain’t get something you can’t get rid of; you could’ve got the Monster! Now I already told you about messin’ with those ‘skanks’ out in the street. When you go upstairs you better not use any of our soap, rags, towels or toilet. You better ask one of your boys do they got something for that or go to the Drugstore and get something to get rid of it.” After that incident she’d joke with me once in a while about my lack of observation skills. She, nor my Ole Dad, never put themselves on a pedestal as if they never made poor choices and still didn’t make poor choices. Most times they were very Understanding and made it clear they were here to help guide us as their children -and they made many sacrifices to do so. They didn’t just dictate what we should/shouldn’t do nor did they sit back and let us say/do whatever we wanted; they had a wise way of giving us options to do things that they could live with. And if we took it too far, they’d always leave a lifeline if we wanted to come back. Rarely did they try to ‘save us’ from ourselves, especially when they already made Knowledge Born to us about what we got ourselves into. Some of the coddling, doting and co-signing I cee Parents doing today with children who are oftentimes saying/doing things that are completely unacceptable or outright disrespectful was ‘publically’ rare when I was growing up. It was clear who the Parent and who the Child was. It was also clear who the Parent was and who was no longer a Child as they got older.

In my travels I’ve ceen and heard many Parents defend certain Principles and Values to the death yet when their own child(ren) are doing the complete opposite they change their tune... They didn’t change it because their child(ren) somehow gave them more insight into a Phenomena they previously didn’t understand. They changed their tune to make an exception or excuses because it’s their child(ren). Basically it’s not really that Wrong or Bad when “their child” is doing it so there was a biasness with “their child” that wasn’t extended to other children. I’ve ceen Parents talk about how Wrong Parents are for letting their teenage daughter get pregnant yet they’re letting their teenage son’s girlfriend spend the night over the house. I’ve heard Parents throw boys under the bus about calling females “bitches”, hear their own child saying “bitch” and they act like they don’t even hear it. Maybe these Parents don’t know how to address these contradictions, maybe they’re making exceptions/excuses because it’s their child. Maybe they honestly don’t cee the contradiction or maybe they really just don’t even care. Whatever the reasoning is, if we’re Parents that advocate certain Principles and Values yet turn around and allow our child(ren) to undermine those Principles and Values within our household, we are signaling to them that these Principles and Values aren't worthy of being honored/respected in the first place. On a very practical level, this is the wrong Attitude and Information we’re Teaching our children and Training them to take into the World. One of the main Lessons our children should learn from us is ‘Integrity’. It is those children who don’t learn this sense of fortitude (Integrity) who become most receptive to the uninhibited ways of this World… There was never a time when my Parents ignored something or turned a blind eye to something that was Wrong. If they ceen or heard it they checked it and if it wasn’t Right & Exact they weren’t co-signing it or promoting it. This is not to say my Parents were always right. There were definitely times me and my siblings had to educate them too and they weren’t always receptive either. Because they always encouraged communication, they kept a good pulse on what was going on inside our hearts and heads. We couldn’t just walk in or around the house not saying anything or keeping our thoughts and feelings to ourselves. Even if I wanted to my Parents set up specific Procedures, Traditions and Customs to keep our lives open and transparent. One of them was sitting down eating Dinner together.

The bottom line is that the ultimate support we can give our children is the Truth. If something isn’t Right & Exact then let it be known and don’t support what isn’t. Sometimes our children already know what’s up b.u.t. will present situations to us just to cee if we’ll confirm what’s Right & Exact. People do this all the time and they’re somebody’s child, so YES our children do it too! It’s better for their feelings to be hurt about what’s Right then to let them walk around feeling good about what’s Wrong. Ignorance on our part or theirs must never be an option. As a Parent, if something happened to them under those circumstances it would be hard to forgive yourself when you knew better (Ezekiel 3:18, St. Luke 12:47). Some Parents interpret this to mean, “Lock your child down” which is not what I’m saying, especially when they’ve reached their Teens and are starting to assert their Autonomy and make decisions on their own. At this stage in the Game telling them what to do and how to do it is not the most effective way to deal with them. Don’t believe me, try it and cee the results you’ll get. At this stage it’s more about our ability to negotiate, reason and walk them through the logic/illogic of their decisions. This is why I emphasized the importance of ‘Integrity’; it’s difficult to negotiate, reason and walk someone through the logic/illogic of things that we haven’t demonstrated a clear stance on. For example, it’s difficult to check a Teenager about running the streets if you’re beating them out of the door and it’s a challenge to teach your son about treating a Woman like a Queen when you really aren’t sure what a Queen is and don’t talk about or treat Men like Kings. These questions will come up and as Parents we must be prepared and know how to handle these conversations. Telling a five year old, “Because I said so” may work b.u.t. for a Teenager you probably just gave them a License To Ill. Many of the dysfunctional Relationships I cee between Parents and Children is simply because the children view us (Parents) as Bullsh*tters. Sometimes they have a legitimate reason why they think this because some of us actually are. Other times we’ve earned ourselves that Title by default simply because we refused to check our Children about some Bullsh*t they’re saying or doing.

In conclusion, if we let things slide with our Children we will slip as Parents. My Ole Earth had a very humorous way of checking me that made me think about my decisions I’ve made or she suspected I might make WITHOUT telling what to do. She trusted my ability to discern because she and my Ole Dad invested time to equip me with the proper information to correct errors. When I went away to College they drove me 8 ½ hours away from home and dropped me off. It was for Football Camp, a month before Classes started; the first time I saw this place and the first time I was that far away from home. I never felt so alone and was insecure about what to do b.u.t. my Parents obviously weren’t. They had all the confidence in the World in me to make the best decisions with my Life and strive to do what’s Right & Exact. Of course I didn’t make those decisions all the time b.u.t. I made them enough to be here doing what I’m positively doing today. Even though some of you may have had a different upbringing or weren’t able to depend upon your Parents, you can change that with your children. Regardless how we were raised and where we came from it’s important to be better for the next Generation. This starts with being impartial to the Truth. If you think Homosexuality isn’t Right & Exact then find an effective way to communicate this to your child that’s doing it. It’s Wrong to criticize others for doing it and then get quiet or defensive when your own child’s name comes up. Our children aren’t always going to do what we expect them to do, we didn’t do everything our Parents expected us to do. There comes a point in our children’s growth/development where the only Resources they’ll have from us to help them navigate and make sense of their lives is 1.) Our Experiences and 2.) Our Words echoing in the back of their Minds. As Parents, it’s important to make sure these Experiences are something we're willing to let them live with, and our Words are something we’re willing to let them die for...

Caucasian Five Percenters

"Not only should they learn that our Nation (The NGE) is “Not Pro-Black or Anti-White” b.u.t. as a Caucasian, they first need to learn “I am Not Pro-White or Anti-Black”."

On June 26th, 2010 I wrote an Article entitled 'Knowledge of Self Series' that contained a section elaborating on The NGE not being "Pro-Black or Anti-White". What I didn’t elaborate on is the specific Role that Caucasians play within The NGE who do embrace our Cultural Worldview.

One of things that inspired me to write this Article is because of the Mainstream Appeal our Nation has gained over the years via Community Organizing, HipHop and Online Exposure. 40 plus years ago People generally had no idea who The Five Percenters (The NGE) were outside of the 4 Boroughs in NYC. Nowadays People in the Netherlands, Australia, China, Poland, South Africa, Pakistan, Texas, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Chicago and many other places around the World contact me and various other Gods/Earths I know about learning our Way of Life. Although many of these People are Black (Non-White) there are also many Caucasians who reach out as well. So instead of addressing these segments of the Population individually I wanted to provide this information to answer some of their Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Another thing that inspired me is the fact that there are some Caucasians who know or are studying our Cultural Curriculum and I wanted to give them more insight into their specific Role as Civilized People. I also wanted to clarify this to other Gods/Earths who may be unclear about the specific Role of Caucasian Five Percenters in our Nation.

120 Lessons, the core of our Cultural Curriculum, consists of People, Places and Things that inform Original (Black) People about our primary Identity, Role and Place in the Universe and on the Map of Human Geography. When a Caucasian is introduced to this Cultural Curriculum they discover from the very beginning that they are not primary (Original) and have a different Identity, a different Role and inhabit different Places upon this Map of Human Geography. Since God and the Earth existed long before Caucasians were born, the fundamental question that arises is, “Since they can’t be God or the Earth, what Status do Caucasians have and Purpose do they serve within the context of our Nation?”

The Caucasus Mountains

Knowledge of Self (KOS)I know many Gods and Earths who’s Ancestors come from different places throughout the Planet Earth. Some come from India, China, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad, Ghana, Mexico, Ethiopia, 6 Nations (or other Indigenous Lands) and various places throughout North America like Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, Windsor, Florida, Indianapolis, Chicago, Alabama, Seattle, Toronto and etc… Because they come from different places and have different experiences, they all bring a unique Perspective, Lineage and Story about our Original People from these places throughout the Earth. If I want more insight into the History of our Original People in the Dominican Republic all I need to do is reach out to a God/Earth who’s direct Ancestry comes from this location; they can tell me any and everything I need to know. If I need to do more research on any of these Countries, States or Cities, I look no further than my Brothers/Sisters who are native to that Geographic Location; they usually know or have direct access to the language, idioms, customs, climate, social norms, demographics and anything else about this place their Family is originally from. In otherwords, this is ‘Knowledge of Self’ (KOS) that puts our Cultural Curriculum in the proper context. When I was out in Seattle doing a Speaking Engagement/Book Signing with Supreme Understanding (of Supreme Design Publishing), he spoke on the importance of having this sense of Knowledge of Self and how we each approach this Cultural Curriculum from the vantage point of the Ethnic Identity, Socioeconomics and Geographic Location we and our Family came from. You can view it here: A.S.I.A. TV

This idea of KOS is not new and has always been the Standard and a National Consensus amongst us since the earliest years of the Nation. When The Father and his Companions began teaching in NYC there were so-called Latin American Brothers/Sisters who naturally identified with this Cultural Worldview and often faced criticism/rejection by those of us who didn’t cee our Spanish Speaking Original People as Black also. Many of these criticisms/rejections were put to rest when these Spanish Speaking Original People began to educate themselves and those Critics about the History of our People in places like Puerto Rico, Cuba and etc… Thus we all began to better understand another unique Perspective, Lineage and Story of our (Original) People that was already identified within our Lessons. As this Culture spread beyond the 4 Boroughs, other Original People from different places began to add on and also include their unique chapter in the History or Koran of our Nation. While Caucasians are also identified within our Lessons, the same Standard and National Consensus is expected of those of them who unnaturally identify with our Cultural Worldview and desire to gain KOS. So the questions they must ask/answer for themselves are, “What unique Perspective, Lineage and Story do I (a Caucasian) have in relationship to Original People?” and “What am I doing as a Caucasian to put the criticisms/rejections to rest that the majority of the People on the Planet Earth and the Earth itself have about my Group of People?”

Azrael, a Caucasian whom The Father taught, established the first prototypical model of how Caucasians were educated and allowed to minimally function within the context of our National Body. Azrael will tell you in a minute that the Name he was given means “Death Angel” (Angel of Death), he symbolically holds the keys to Heaven and Hell and his job is to help show us (Original People and other Caucasians) how to survive the traps of this Devilish World his People were allowed to make. He also understands the Position/Status he was given to primarily educate his own People to the truth about who they are, who we are and what his People need to do in order to help establish/secure a World of Peace where they can co-exist with us as one Human Family. I can respect that and have personally referred Caucasians to him. Unlike Azrael, I’ve noticed that “95%” (14,15/1-40) of the other Caucasians I cee who’re interested in studying or who do study our Cultural Curriculum are usually unclear about what they’re supposed to be doing. Many of them haven’t even realized or been taught that they’re supposed to be sharing their unique Perspective, Lineage and Story as a Caucasian and how this ultimately defines/impacts their Role/Purpose within our Nation. Instead of acknowledging and elaborating on their actual Historical Identity, Role and Place within 120 Lessons like a God/Earth with Native American, Indian, Iranian or etc. Ancestry does, they’ll identify themselves Generically and Non-Politically. In other words, they’ll talk about everything b.u.t. their actual Identity, Role and Place within our Lessons. Instead they'll share abstract scientific theories and Philosophize about who/what things symbolically mean. If they do "put a face on" something they'll usually engage in conversations with us (Original People) trying to tell us (Original People) about ourselves and how we cee things. An example of this is if they're asked about "Who wrote the Holy Koran or Bible? How long ago and why does Islam renew it's History every 25,000 years?" they'll attempt to tell us about ourselves; The Black Man and Woman of Asia, not what this means to them, their Woman, People and how they're consequently on our time. Although it's important for them to know who/what we are, it's most important for them to recognize who they are and have historically been to us and their own People. That is their primary point of view. I’ve rarely heard them directly talking about how they cee “our” Lessons in relationship to themselves, their People, their History and their relationship to my People. I rarely hear these Caucasians explaining their Identity as a Grafted Man, why Musa had such a hard time civilizing them, how it effects them to be genetically weak boned/weak blooded, at what points in history their People’s Identity/Behavior codifies Devilishment and what are some of the psychological, social and cultural challenges that come along with the inability to be God or the Earth. I’m sure thoughts/feelings like these and many others arise in Caucasians because there is no other way to view our Lessons than from their own perspective and experience. So for a Caucasian to not engage/participate in these important discussions by sharing their perspective and experiences it says 1.) They’re not being properly Educated or 2.) They’re not really striving to be Educated and want to come amongst us for other reasons. Regardless what the reason is, whenever someone isn’t actively engaged, participating or involved they’re not receiving the necessary Training to effectively perform their Duty. In our case, we call that Duty "Civilization" and our stance "Righteousness". It also must be understood that historically speaking, a Caucasian’s inability to effectively perform a Duty as noble as Civilization and Righteousness has always translated into the worse fate for any Original People, their own People and the Environment that's in proximity to them. Among various other Lessons we learn, our 1st, 4th, 9th and 10th Degrees in 1/1-14 and 34th & 38th Degrees in the 1-40 provide structural models and plans of recourse to specifically address issues like this.

Because of the unsavory relationship Caucasians (as a Group) have historically had towards Original People, other Caucasians and the Planet Earth itself, their journey towards becoming Civilized and Righteous requires Teaching and Training Units specific to them. In order to be Civilized and Righteous, there are many things, tangible (objects/possessions) and intangible (ideas/allegiances), they must relinquish and denounce that does not coincide with Civilization and Righteousness. Since, according to our 8th Degree in the 1-14, they (Caucasians) kept/keep our People (Original People) apart from their own Social Equality, there are many Institutional, Educational, Psychological, Socioeconomic, Labor, Legal and Military opportunities Caucasians must be committed to sharing with us wheh they coincide with our Culture. If Caucasians think being a Five Percenter means to come around us, learn how we talk and then talk it back to us so they can be accepted they have it wrong! They’re not Honorary Gods and Earths… They are exactly who our Lessons and History says they are and they came to us to “learn to do like the Original Man/Woman” (9/1-14) because they want to clean up their People’s global image. If we (Original People) think that teaching Caucasians means training them to parrot our Lessons and simply explain who we are as God and the Earth we have it wrong too! Some of us may sit back and feel accomplished to be able to say, “Here’s a Caucasian who acknowledges that the Black Man is God and the Black Woman is the Earth!” yet it says nothing about who they are, what their thoughts/feelings are in regard to their own Identity/History and what type of behavior this actually translates into. Our Lessons (17,18/1-36) clearly teach us that in the early 1930’s there were approximately 3 Million Caucasians who also acknowledged who we were yet their thoughts/feelings about who they were in relationship to us (Original People) still translated into uncivilized/unrighteous behavior; Segregation (8/1-14) was going on, Jim Crow Etiquette was expected, the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) had over 2.5 Million card carrying Members and Anti-Lynching Legislation was debated/unenforced. We also must consider the fact that many Agent Provocateurs (4/1-14) were able to successfully infiltrate, undermine and sabotage the Objectives/Goals of our Organizations and colonize our Lands because we simply allowed them to come amongst us without a thorough investigation and requiring them to announce themselves through sharing their Perspective, Lineage and Story. This is not to say nor assume that this is every Caucasian’s or even an Original Person’s intention. This is to say that anytime we've taken this ass-umptive posture, especially with those who are clearly unalike, it’s always been a recipe for disaster.

In closing, “We are Not Pro-Black or Anti-White” is not a statement that means we’re a bunch of Humanists saying “Can we all just get along?” This declaration does not mean we’re trying to Assimilate into the Dominant Society/Culture, we don’t want to offend White People and we’re striving to distance ourselves from so-called ‘Black Militants’. This statement means that our allegiance is to the Truth, wherever it may exist, and we’re required to do what’s most Civilized and Righteous in accordance to the Truth “regardless to whom or what” (11/1-14). This is my position and posture as an Original Man and this stance requires me to interface with a Western (Caucasian) Society that historically opposed and still opposes this view. A Caucasian is someone who represents this Western Society; Genotypically and Phenotypically. Therefore, their allegiance to the Truth, wherever it may exist, and what they’re required to do that’s most Civilized and Righteous takes on a different meaning. Not only should they learn that our Nation is “Not Pro-Black or Anti-White” b.u.t. as a Caucasian, they first need to learn “I am Not Pro-White or Anti-Black”. Just because a Caucasian can recite or even write RZA like Lyrics like his verse on the Gravediggaz “The Night The Earth Cried” it doesn’t mean they’re not Pro-White; they could be still be gettin’ money working for their Family Business that has historically discriminated against Original People. Just because a Caucasian Man has a Black Girlfriend or bi-racial child doesn’t mean he’s not Anti-Black; he could be f*cking her and still saying f*ck her Family and Original People as a whole. The beauty in our Cultural Worldview is that our Lessons clearly exposes someone’s position and posture be it ‘Pro’ or ‘Anti’ anything that doesn’t coincide with the Truth. When it comes to Caucasians, if they’re not learning to analyze and articulate their historical Identity, Role and Place as a Caucasian in this World, then what Purpose can they possibly serve to us (Original People)? If some of you have/are teaching them our Lessons, Mathematics, Alphabets and etc. yet they aren’t consistently demonstrating in their daily people activities (amongst their own People) or actively taking stances to Show & Prove that they are not Pro-White or Anti-Black then they’re not performing the Duty of a Civilized/Righteous Person; they’re upholding the uncivilized/unrighteous Status Quo of their Ancestors. Are they here to just sit around the Fathers and Mothers of Civilization and agree with us about who we say we are? Are we nothing more than a Cultural Confession Box so Caucasians can come around and confess their and their Ancestors sins against God and the Earth? Like Azrael, do they have a specific job amongst their own People and what does their job specifically entail? I remember I went to a Rally in Bethlehem (Buffalo, NY) one time and this Caucasian female who called herself an ‘Earth’ came out and wanted to learn more about our Culture. Apparently some Original Man was teaching her who got some Lessons from a God who hadn’t ceen him in years. When I asked her about her Ancestry she said she was ‘Irish’ and I began asking her some questions about her People’s History and their History in relationship to Original People. She couldn’t tell me anything about this or her status as a Caucasian in Western Society yet she knew some of the Supreme Mathematics, things about our Nation and how to use some of our phrases… I shared alittle History about Ireland, the Irish and Caucasians as a Group and then informed her to do more research on her People so she can begin to better understand how she’s been taught to cee the World and consequently the Fathers and Mothers of Civilization. That was the last time I ceen/heard anything from her. She’s probably still out there along with many other Caucasians and Original People who continue to be uneducated and miseducated about ‘What We Teach’ and ‘What We Will Achieve’ as a Nation of Gods and Earths. The only way to change this reality is for us to continue our Tradition of requiring People to Show & Prove who and what they are, not just in word b.u.t. in deed through what they “continue daily” to do.
