**There is a memory of what our ancestors experienced in slavery that runs in our blood line, and this is the tie that binds us consciously or unconsciously.**

The State of Black People: The question asked on social media was-Why are Black men voting for Trump? At first, I had no words! I actually went into prayer over this phenomenon because I knew I had to check in with “Great Spirit”!

Let me start this conversation that is in my head with a very important fact that I think puts the experience of “Slavery” in the United States in context to other countries that fostered slavery. The system that was perpetrated in America was an organized institutional economic racist institution. There were tactics and systems in place that were designed to dehumanize and devalue the slave to a point that they existed only to be a commodity. They were on the same status as animals. Lost their identity. Lost their language! Lost their religious beliefs. Lost their families! Lost the connection to their “Motherland”. Lost their “divine identities”! Lost contact with their “Soul”. I don’t know how they survived the “Middle Passage”! I don’t know how they not only survived captivity and the chains of slavery, but somehow managed to break free and have had the strength and tenacity to thrive in a nation that has no love and respect for them.

We are as a collective not only are survivors, but we have also stood up and fulfilled our purpose when we answer, “The Call”, to share our gifts. We step into our genius and miracles happen that shape our world. Most people have no idea of the contributions we have made to the betterment of humanity, because we are still invisible! When I think about slavery and realize that the legacy of this DNA imprint has woven its imprint from one generation in my family to the next, I feel my whole body reacting in chills. It brings tears to my soul, and I try to rationalize that we are no longer bound to this trauma. Unfortunately, I see the side effects every day from witnessing how the hopeless and unloved fall into crime, mental emotional illness, poverty, and sometimes just a state of numbness. On the other hand, I see those of us that manage to find our way out of the maze designed to distract us from our “divine identities” and our hunger to thrive and utilize our gifts that we were endowed with by “Great Spirit”.

This unfortunately is an imprint left from slavery! The trauma is now seeded in our DNA and it will take generations to heal! It is self-hatred and an ingrained feeling that without the chains of submission they are unworthy of being the magnificent human being God created them to be. They have lost sight of a legacy their ancestors left them because we don’t educate our children about who they are and what they have the potential of doing and being! There is a disconnect to what really defines their manhood because they are lost to their lineage! They have been manipulated into the systematic illusions that were created to keep them in bondage – mind – body- and soul.

This is a world engaged in spiritual warfare and our black men and boys are on the frontlines headed for extinction. Our women and girls are in the line up behind them! We have a choice to stay lined up as targets or wake up and stand united. Our shield is our genius! Our weapon is our cultural empowerment that is enriched with our heritage and the legacy of our ancestors and elders! We have work to do to restore our people! It will happen because we have a divine destiny in the blueprint that “Great Spirit” created! Stay awake! Knowledge is power & self-determination is our birthright! We have to awaken the ancestral spirits within not only our men and boys, but our women and girls who carry a special gift that they are holding since the beginning of time. Our memories that lie deep within us, become the catalysis for their freedom and manifestation of the dreams that were seeded in our souls.

I’m Just Sayin- Notes from Beth #66 Black History Month- “The State of the Culture”!

We lift up our praise and admiration for those ancestors that came before us and met the challenges in this land so that we and our children from generation to generation will not just survive but have the opportunity and support to thrive.
We must know our past to know where we are going now and in the future.

I thought that it would be appropriate to discuss the relevance and importance of the “hot” topic in our country right now in respect to “teaching Black History in our schools”. There has been so much push back, effort to discredit the historical significance of our contribution to this nation, myths of how it would make other children that are not Black Americans feel, and the treat of the contextual revelation that –“We as Black Americans have played an important part in all aspects of creating and sustaining what should be “the greatest country in the world that professes the principles of being a “Democracy”. This in itself is perhaps one of the greatest feats that mankind can strive to establish, protect, and maintain. It requires the input and contributions of all its citizenry. It is not an “I” accomplishment, it is a “we” accomplishment. Recently, I engaged in a conversation on social media about this topic. I was disappointed at some of the comments that were being said, and at the same time encouraged by the enlightenment of others. This is not a closed topic until we come to the realization that our history must be rewritten to highlight the contributions of all the ethnicities that have worked to make this country what it has the possibility of being. We are a nation that must be inclusive not exclusive!

My engagement in the conversation:

I am Inspired to participate in this social media conversation and to get a feel for where we are as humanity in our evolution.! I profess that there would not be a need for African American History classes if throughout our educational curriculum American History was based on the truth of what was and what is, instead of the lies and omissions of the truth of life in America! Every ethnicity that has contributed to the fabric and content should have their story and contributions reflected in what children learn. If not with social media access and the power of the “pen”, the time has come that the truth will prevail! You see when you tell a child they cannot have something and you deny them access to something, that’s when they become curious and seek it out for themselves! These children we have now are “indigo children”! They come here to enlighten the world. Their brains are wired differently, and their souls are more advanced! They are disappointed that we as humanity have not evolved to the point where we are able to host them and create the world that they were expecting! We have failed them and for so many their frustration has turned to violence and self-destruction. We have wasted their gifts! They see this world for what it is and they see no future! What a mess we have given them. We have got to turn this around if humanity is to not only survive but evolve and thrive.

I like the new response to all of the rhetorical myths about the history of this nation! To be sure- Black history, the diverse Asian history, the Indigenous people of this country, diverse ethnicities of Spanish origin, people of European descent, OMHG! America is the history of all the people that have lived, worked, raised families, and died in this country. All of us have made an impact on the history of this country and to deny any of us from being represented in this country’s history is merely fraudulent myths that are no longer sustainable in a society that has awakened from the designed and implemented illusions of supremacy and control. We are awake and will never slip into a coma of deceit or invalid perceptions of what is in fact the “TRUTH”. Ashe! Ashe!
