MY THOUGHTS ON THE BLACKMAN AND BLACKWOMAN'S RELATIONSHIP

Peace and Blessings Sister Aminah,
I welcome your post on the Blackman's and Blackwoman's relationship with open arms. I value your enthusiam because you remind me of a younger version of myself (LOL). However, while I am not interested in putting blame on a person, what I am interested in is looking at how we as a people got in this situation. We all are familiar with the saying "divide and conquer", well that’s pretty much it in a nut shell. If Elijah in the Bible shared with us that our duty was to turn the heart of the father back to the children, and vice versa therein lays the solution.
I had a sister tell me that she was bitter because of our ancestors (Black men) didn’t do anything when the white slave masters were raping women. I told her that they were raping the Black men also. We can’t make God to be a liar, He told Abraham that his seed would be in a strange land and be afflicted by a stranger for a time (400+yrs). God said AFTER that time served He would bring us out with great substance and punish the ones that afflicted us.
One need only see that this prophecy is coming true, this white man’s world is all but over. The Earth is smitten with a curse (hurricanes, wildfires, the fall of the economy, etc.) look at the White House. Now I love Barack Obama just like you and about every other Black person in America does, but it’s pretty much old white men laying down the rules, and white people are catching hell from their own children. Their children aren’t running for offices because they know it’s an illusion and a burden.
Their youth are living it up like it is the last days for them (Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and the Bush twins are perfect examples). While the Black Community (make that about two-thirds of us)is still holding on to ignorance and the very God the white folks enslaved us by.
When we go back to OUR culture OUR first love keeping the Most High first in what we do we are ensured success as a productive family and Community. We have been robbing, stealing, and killing each other (mentally and physically) and as long as we continue we will be uncomfortable. This is why Jesus said it is expedient that he goes away so that the comforter can return.
We keep looking and praying to Jesus when Jesus said don’t pray to me, pray to the father that sent me. Jesus also said don’t marvel over his works because GREATER works we SHALL do. Meaning the Kingdom (all solutions) is truly within US!
In order for the comforter to return means comfort was once here, we were abiding by the universal laws and principles of Creation. When we ceased to abide by these laws and started practicing the European way, confusion set in and we have not been at peace as a whole since.
I say the same as scripture the handwriting is on the wall for clear eyes to reflect. Our Black men/woman must take back their rightful ruler ship but it won’t happen unless they take control (emotion and discipline) of themselves.
The union of the Blackman/woman is not a union to be in competition with each other, it is not a union to complete one another; it is a union to balance one another. We will be one or nothing. United we stand, divided we continue to fall!
We are blessed with so, so much knowledge that we may fall victim to scripture, man is forever seeking knowledge but hardly ever finding the truth.
The solution is upon us and unfortunately we spend so much time on the B.S. (LOL), but when we focus on the love (agape if you will) and the lowering (patience) of one another we will be whole again.

Thank you for commenting on my blogs Brother Jeremy and Sister Irma, as always.
If I may add historically the European slave master's target was not fully grown adults. Most of our original ancestors were between the ages of 13 and 18 with and average age of 15. Think about when you were 15 sisters. At 15 I was full of spirit and energy but hardly a match for an adult man. This is what our ancestors faced. From the very beginning our conqueror knew the greatest bond they had to break to keep us enslaved the family bond. That bond starts with Black men and Black women.
One of the unique and greatest issues we suffer as a result of slavery was the loss of our identity. Because we don't know who we are we have adopted the identity of our oppressors. We speak their language, worship their Gods and emulate their actions...One of the behaviors and philosophies that we have adopted is the misogyny they practice. Bottom line: this is not how we behaved once upon a time. We were matriarchal. Like most highly organized creatures in nature are matriarchal. I say this to say that our women maintained and elevated status. Men and Women walked side by side as one and not one behind the other. This is where we need to get back to..That will take modified thinking among our brothers and sisters.
PEACE...
