Ha. I laugh at that word, "Conservative" because it's really not saying anything but traditional. African Americans really haven't changed too much since the end of slavery. Ha. ha. ha. Well maybe a little. But not enough that we aren't following a specific tradition.
1. We are Africans and in Africa women are were free! The women once held the rights over property and family. All wealth were passed down through the daughters. Prostitution which is caused by women in male dominated societies are forced into because of poverty didn't exist amongst African women. The pedestal that Europeans put their women upon only historically belongs to African women. They were women of grace, beauty, power, wealth and every man's dream "Virginity". Matter of fact the Arab soldiers who invaded African were told by their leaders if they died in battle in the name of Allah they would go to heaven and marry a 100 African Virgins.
2. Women all over the world desired Blackmen because we were born to please women. The African women cultivated the sons into being servers of women in pleasure, in protecting and building because he would be husband to one of her sisters, blackwomen had a very strong sisterhood called the Temple of Aset. They wanted him to be handsome strong so they ate right, lived right and taught him the spiritual principles of life. Blackwomen gave Blackmen the right to be Kings and lead armies because Blackwomen like strong warriors and she herself was the first warrior and prietess. She was the first person to walk the earth and was the one in the society that held the rights over property and family. All children were her children and the works of their hands were to serve her. In this male dominated societal world men have the rights over property and wealth. This was from the constant invasions of the Motherland by so many male dominated warriors who felt threaten by the existence of a land were women had so much power. Read Queen Sheba if you don't believe me.
What I'm describing above no longer exists because we too African Americans have been colonized. People think colonizing is only when someone forcibly occupies your land but what about when they have colonized you to their way of life? After slavery African Americans took up famous White Americans names like Johnson, Washington, Jones, Hughes and others in order to fit into White American society. We took up their religion because slaves were not always given religion but after slavery the Whites made sure every slave could go to a church and pray to a White god. Lol. We joined the government, we ran for offices, we petitioned to fight in their armies and we imitated the way Whites dressed, looked, act and talk.
Some of you this might go over your heads but how are we Conservatives? We didn't resurrect our ancient culture and preserved it. That's why to me Black History month is one of the most stupidest things we have allowed ourselves get into. What is the use of having a African History if we aren't going resurrect what was lost and then preserve it?
Come out of her, my people! Be not partakers of her sins. Babylon is falling and falling.
That verse is rather cliches I don't like things others have used even the Bible if it's been overused. So resurrecting and preserving the best of our cultural that comes from historical Africa will bring us back to the top of the world as a the greatest people! Now that's how I would like to say it! And another thing is if we forget where we are and have far we have come then we don't know where we are! Some lost people wandered into a desert until they got brave enough to fight for their own land. Because calling upon the Gods of their slave masters didn't ever give them the strength to do it. So when they the younger generation came along they knew not these foreign gods and trusted more instead in Joshua their leader and the creator.
Oh! I forgot.
3. African Americans like all Africans worldwide always believed in the creator no matter what his name for all are his names. God is beyond comprehension and no name will stick.
And by that we are the most conservative on earth.
Have a good night.
Have a good night.
You folks have a nice evening.
