The occupants of today’s state of Israel, who call themselves Jews, are identified in the Bible as Satan’s very spawn (Revelations 2:9; 3:9). They are Amorites, who, just like their fellow Amorites of Europe and Asia (especially Turks), committed genocide of the original Black peoples of the Middle East including the true biblical Hebrew, Israelites, Moabites, Edomites, Philistines, amongst others. The Amorites took over the region of Palestine and ever since have been claiming to be the original peoples of God – the largest identity theft since the Original people began on this planet. – Just like Olosi (popularly spelled as “Lucis” and “Lucifer”; also known as “Satan”) who tried to take the place of IYE (the Almighty, wrongly pronounced and spelled as Yah and Jah). They also plagiarized the original texts of the original Scriptures, altering many things, and propagated worldwide their fictitious religious dogmas that constitute the tripod or axis of evil: Christianity, Islam and Judaism. They are the Anti KRST. One of the alterations was to replace the Name of the Imisi Iye (popularly and wrongly spelled as “Messiah”), Èṣù (or Èshù which is short for Èṣùmare and wrongly spelled by the Amorites as Yeshu, Yeshua), with that of their chief god Zeus (IeZeus, Iesous, Je-w+Zeus= Jesus.) Their "Christ", is the false prophet, the prophet of Olosi. Zeus Christ opposes Èṣù, implying that Zeus and his followers are anti-Imisi Iye or anti-Messiah and Olosi (Lucifer) is their father. They deceive many to believe that the followers of Èṣù are anti-Christ- when the truth is that those who follow the tripod or axis of evil- Christianity, Islam and Judaism- are the anti-KRST. As the masses join with this evil force, they are deceived into partaking in their own genocide through witch hunts of indigenous practitioner and castrations and lynchings of many who are falsely accused of homosexuality.
These Amorites began to preach their false religions to the people especially black people, in order to enslave them spiritually, mentally and then physically. Initially the phony Arabs used the Hausawa (Hausa people; re-lexified in the bible as “Assyrian”) and Fulani to preach Islam to the west African people and then got converts to do the work for them. Later, the Europeans arrived and did same with Christianity, often sending the indoctrinated children of our own Ancestors who were captured and brought to the United States to live and work as chattel slaves on the land that was stolen from the Native Americans.
Many of these converts have been vigorously turning their own people from IYE (I AM), (into Je-w+Zeus =Jesus)- who is Satan. Zeus is their Father Lord/Baal, of the Amorites. This is a repeat of history of same incident that happened in biblical Israel prior to Fulani and Babylonian deportation and Greco-Roman conquest/Hellenization. They own lots of consumer goods, chariots (automobiles), and property. They commit idolatry by worshiping and filling the land with idols and setting up their temples in every street and highway. They teach the people to cast their eyes onto their various idols and kiss their feet – images of Zeus and crosses of Tammuz (1 Kings 19:18), crescent and star of Ramadan (re-lexified to “Remphan”; Acts 7:43) – and fornicate with alien ways, with the spirit of harlotry and child molestation and abuse, which is in their midst. They also brainwash their people into rejecting knowledge and not reasoning. Many of them are under the delusion of being born-again as they are not filled with the Spirit of IYE (2 Chronicles 18) but consumed by unclean spirits, having given their lives as sacrifices to Zeus. Since they teach the people to call upon strange and evil names, they ask for death and their portion is death, just like the four hundred and fifty (450) prophets of Baal that were executed by Elijah (1 Kings 18:41), unless they humble themselves and seek forgiveness from the true God I AM.
AMEN.
Confused Traditional Rulers (The True Shepherds)?
These Neo-Amorites are supposed to be the "true shepherds, true pastors, divine representatives and priests", but have gone after other gods that bear strange names. Many of them have been fattening themselves via personal aggrandizement at the expense of their people and scattering their people, initially via slave trade, across the face of the earth (Ezekiel 34). Some got to their thrones by ungodly means, and were chosen by brutish men only. They mix Ifa, which IYE gave to mankind for blessings, with Islam and Christianity. The Muslims amongst them even abandon the traditional and heavenly caps (fila) and crowns for that of Islam. Many political leaders also join Christian and Muslim gatherings which are clearly profane assemblies. Some practice our Original ways exclusively, but still bare Christian, Roman alien names. Overall, they are the ones given the task, by virtue of their position, of leading the people in veneration- coming close to the divine and natural way of life. However, their association with alien ways and religions, confuses and discourages their subjects.

MA, NU, and NUT are the original heka(sounds of power) for the Universe and GOD on the planet. Ma is the Great Indigo Queen Mother Goddess who originated in East Africa at the source of the Nile river.
Her icons for the universe can be found across the planet.
INDIGO (BLACK) WOMEN are the first population of the planet!
Our Aku/Ancestors originated in Afrika, then grew in population and expanded over waves and aeons of time, to establish civilizations throughout the planet.
"IN- the beginning God, created the Heavens and the Earth!"
IN was another ancient name for Mother God, INKI was her "only begotten Sun/son."
WE ARE INDIGO ORIGINAL PEOPLE!
ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE INHERITED OUR DNA!
EVERY COLOR COMES FROM BLACK!
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF MA!
The Black Mother IS GOD!
OUR ANCESTORS WERE THE TWA KHOISAN- MA - IS also represented as the Twa mother She travelled all over the planet to establish civilizations and raise the pyramids of the 14 pieces of Asr(Ausar). Every society was given an example of Nut/Ma/Ast(Auset) the Queen mother- and her only begotten sun Ra/Heru. The Patriarchs are the rebellious sons who lifted up the icon of Sun over Ma the Universe. Nut/Ma/Ast who is the youniverse. They changed the icon of GOD from the Ma, the Matriarchal Ankh/Womb to the Patriarchal, lightened skin, and misogynist Icon of Jesus, a Caucasian on a Cross/Phallus. This icon appeals to the great white hopes of imperialist invader Yurugus... and promote Maafa Syndrome (Capture Bonding) with Colonist/Imperialist.
Our first people were Indigo Women, who possessed the ability to procreate autonomously.
Over time the Female and Male sexes became distinguished. Men are the sons of Mother Gods...
We must break the spell of lies that there are races, and that there are indigenous people that "Sprang-Up" in the Americas. Race is a political construct to conquer and control all people of color and subject them to the domination of Yurugu Caucasoid invader of our natural world...
Ma is the original Icon found all over the planet. Her Icon has been found in the funerary item all over the planet.
Bes (also spelled as Bisu) was a Black Twa/ Nubian/Kemetic(Egyptian) deity/Icon, celebrated in history and found throughout the planet. This icon is an example of the presence of Black peoples, all over the diaspora of the planet. Bes is known as a protector of the households. She/He was always present around mothers and children. Over time she was regarded as the protector and defender of all that is good and the enemy to all that is bad. It is theorized that the icon Bes came from the Great Lakes Region of Africa, coming from the Twa people in Congo or Rwanda. The ancient Twa/ Khoisan were small people about the same height as the depictions of Bes.
Taweret is also an ancient Icon that was found in archaeological digs at funerary tombs.
Auset Heru
The African presence can be found all over the planet
"While past studies identified Bes as a Middle Kingdom import from Nubia, some more recent research believes him to be an Egyptian native. Mentions of Bes can be traced to the southern lands of the Old Kingdom; however his cult did not become widespread until well into the New Kingdom.
Her name appears to be connected to a Nubian word for " cat" (besa) which literally means "cat", and indeed, her first appearances have the suggestion of a cat god. She is also known as a humorous dwarf god that brings good luck and happiness to homes. Modern scholars such as James Romano demonstrated that in its earliest inceptions, Bes was a representation of a lion rearing up on its hind legs. After the Third Intermediate Period, Bes is often seen as just the head or the face, often worn as amulets." Dawn Prince-Hughes lists Bes as fitting with other archetypal long-haired Bigfoot-like figures from ancient Northern Africa, "a squat, bandy-legged figure depicted with fur about his body, a prominent brow, and short, pug nose."
Another theory born out by Bes's role in both the protection of children and women in labour is the theory that Bes is the figure of a miscarried fetus" Iconography
Images of this deity were often kept in homes and was depicted quite differently from the other gods. Normally Egyptian gods were shown in profile, but instead Bes appeared in portrait, ithyphallic, and sometimes in a soldier's tunic, so as to appear ready to launch an attack on any approaching evil.
Bes was a household protector, throughout ancient Egyptian history becoming responsible for such varied tasks as killing snakes, fighting off evil spirits, watching after children, and aiding (by fighting off evil spirits) women in labour (and thus present with Taweret at births).
Since she drove off evil, Bes also came to symbolize the good things in life - music, dance, and sexual pleasure. Later, in the Ptolemaic period of Egyptian history, chambers were constructed, painted with images of Bes and his wife Beset, thought by Egyptologists to have been for the purpose of curing fertility problems or general healing rituals.
Many instances of Bes masks and costumes from the New Kingdom and later have been uncovered. These show considerable wear, thought to be too great for occasional use at festivals, and are therefore thought to have been used by professional performers, or given out for rent.
Like many Egyptian gods, the worship of Bes was exported overseas, and she, in particular, proved popular with the Phoenicians and the ancient Cypriots.
The cult of Saint Bessus in northern Italy may represent the Christianization of the cult associated with Bes; St. Bessus was also invoked for fertility, and Bessus and Bes are both associated with an ostrich feather in their iconography."

So the Elves, the Gnomes, and leprechauns, are present day representations of this Twa Icon/deity symbol. The essence and qualities that we find in the Domestic cat and Lion are representatives of the protecting energies found in Bes.
I noticed the similarities of names of Bes and Basil. Our Ancestors have often hidden our knowledge in children's stories and characters to engage our memories to hold onto and "Re-Member" wisdom. The similarities in the spiritual properties found in the old knowledge of herbs and their medicinal and healing applications were often the only remedies for people with no access to doctors or hospitals. These characters represent our mother wisdom that was passed down from generation to generation.
Bes (pron.:/bɛs/; also spelled as Bisu) is an Kemetic (Ancient "Egyptian") Icon, symbolized as a protector of households, and in particular, of mothers and children and childbirth. Bes later came to be regarded as the defender of everything good and the enemy of all that is bad. While past studies identified Bes as a Middle Kingdom import from Nubia, more recent research indicates that he was present in Egypt since the start of Old Kingdom. Mentions of Bes can be traced to pre-dynastic Nile Valley cultures; however his form appears to be found all over the world.
Bes is the spiritual protector, promoter and healer of the home and family. He/She encourages fertility and watches over and teaches parents and children in their growth and development. Bes holds all of the wisdom and knowledge of the earth. She knows the cycles of time and the seasons. She knows the healing properties of all herbs. She is familiar with the gardens, forests, animals, insects, lakes, rivers, mountains and caves. She knows the prayers, chants, lyrics, limericks, lullabies, the bedtime stories, dances, mathematics, letters, formulas, recipes and words of power. He symbolizes the Shaman healer of the Nome or Klan. He is chemistry and physics. She represents the Sage, guardian and spiritual intuitive energy to ward off hostile energy from your family, life, home, office or wherever it is present. Bes controls The weather, the rain and the wind, the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Bes is Majic. He loves gold and can draw wealth and prosperity to the home. You can find this symbolic image of Bes all over the world. The earliest images of Elves, Trolls, Leprechauns, Fairies and Gnomes from all over the world were Black. The people are all characteristic and symbolic of our ancient Ancestors -the Twa and Khoisan (also known as "Pigmy") Mother and Father, with their history and wisdom of nature and the universe.
Here is an excerpt of a great find of manuscript below:
On the extreme right of the façade: A Pygmy in the court of Egypt.
Pepy II's letter to Herkuf
A fourth, unnarrated, campaign to the land of Yam must have taken place, during which Harkhuf sent a letter to the young king Pepi II to inform him, particularly, that he was bringing back a pygmy, which resulted in the rest of the inscription. In fact, Pepi II wrote a letter in reply to that of Harkhuf, who was so proud of it that he had the text inscribed on the façade of his tomb in Aswan. Since little space remained, he had to prepare a space for it at the extreme right of the façade. Thus, the only complete royal letter dating from the old Kingdom has reached us.:
“ Seal of the king Himself. Second year of His reign, third month of the season akhet, fifteenth day. Royal decree (to) the Sole Companion, Lector-Priest, chief of interpreters, Harkhuf.
I have acquainted myself with the words of your letter, which you addressed to the king in the palace to inform him that you travelled in peace to the land of Yam, with the army, which accompanied you. You said in your letter that you were bringing back all sorts of presents, important and beautiful, which Hathor, lady of Imaou, gave for the ka of the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Neferkare- may he live eternally and forever! You also say in your letter that you will bring back a pygmy (for) the dances of the God and coming from the land of the inhabitants of the horizon and similar to the pygmy which the treasurer of the God, Bawerded brought back from Punt in the time of the king Isesi. cartouche of king Djed-Ka-Re (Isesi)
You also say to My Majesty: never before has such a (pygmy) been brought back by any of those who have visited the land of Yam. It is said that, each year, you accomplish that which your royal Lord wishes and praises. You pass your days and your nights thinking of doing that which your Lord wishes, praises and commands. So My Majesty will act such that the numerous and excellent honours which are yours shall also please the sons of your son for eternity and that men will say, when they hear what my Majesty has done for you“ is there any parallel to that which was done for the Sole Companion Harkhuf when he came back from the land of Yam, because of the diligence with which he carried out that which his Lord wished, praised and commanded.?”
Come back, then, to the north, to the Residence. Leave (everything) and bring with you the pygmy which you have brought from the land of the inhabitants of the horizon, alive, in good health and strong so that he may dance for the God and make cheerful and rejoicing the heart of the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Neferkare- may he live eternally!
If you come with him in the ship, set well-advised men about him on both sides of the boat and take care that he does not fall in the water. If he lies down to sleep during the night, have wise men to sleep beside him in his tent; go and check, ten times in the night. Because My Majesty wishes to see this pygmy more than all the tributes of Sinai or Punt.
If you reach the Residence and the pygmy is with you, alive, in good health and strong, My Majesty will do great things for you, more important than those which were done for the treasurer of the God, Bawerded, in the time of the king Isesi, according to the desire which My Majesty has to see this famous pygmy. Orders have been sent to the chief of the new town, Sole Companion and steward of the priests to command that victuals be taken by his care in every warehouse town and in every temple, without exception.https://www.inkling.com/read/traditions-and-encounters-jerry-bentley-5th/chapter-3/harkhufs-expeditions-to-nubia
The many stories and fables of Gnomes, Fairies, Trolls, Leprechauns, and little people, are often the depictions of the presences of Ancient Twa Peoples who remained in Europe.
The First Elves
Zwarte Piet/ Pieten(Black Pete) is a character who has deep roots in traditional Dutch and Netherlands folklore. He appears in The Netherlands as a Spanish Moor (common to southern Holland in the 1500s), in caricature, as a Black man, with gold earrings and colorful period costumes of a Spanish Moor.
The story goes that Zwarte Piet chose to work with Saint Nicholas as his Navigator, Weather Forecaster, Time/Space Continuum Engineer and magical accompaniment. Since the 18th century in Holland, he has been depicted as a companion to Saint Nicholas in all of his holiday travels. Zwarte Pieten is today commonly depicted as a black person in the colorful pantaloons, feathered cap and ruffles of a Renaissance Moor, This character and tradition was later recorded in a children's book published in 1850. Zwarte Pieten is often portrayed as a mischievous but rarely mean-spirited character, the character is believed to have been derived from Bes the spirit pagan after his traditions. Nowadays, Zwarte Pieten has become a much more respected assistant of Saint Nicholas, still often humorous, self determined, magical and playful.
Currently, the media is presenting articles about the many Black people who are protesting the public displays of Zwarte Piet by Dutch people wearing "blackface" and moorish styled costumes. So now the Dutch, meet Globalization –We now exist in a global world and that means we have to expand our knowledge about other cultures and peoples that make up diverse societies. The festival of Black Pete does, appear to be the glaring elephant in the room in the face of the invasion of South Africa by the Dutch!.. I now reflect back as a child living in Germany, people were so fascinated by us when they saw us at public Shopping districts. They would sometimes approach me and touch my skin… Seeing us must have brought back childhood memories of Black Pete. Understanding that the depiction of Moors and Moorish people in Europe has been slanted as one of servitude, now there are more Black citizens in Europe that live as equals and in authority, all over Europe.
The History of the Moors in Spain goes back to a successful harmony of rulership for almost 1000 years.
Black Europeans were actually still in existence, living as Original peoples, up to their discovery by Nazis, who gave them the choice of sterilization or incarceration in a death camp. Actually Black Pete was free to voluntarily work with SinterKlass. He had the upper hand over his counterpart, and was the essential agent in the success of this operation for children. Yet the perpetuation of the depiction of servitude, (which reinforces the idea that Black people should be always in that role,) together with the horrible history and tradition of black face in the US, means that it is time to revisit some of the old traditions and change them. It does matter that the tradition of black face was most prominent and therefore most hurtful in the United States. But as with all things, we must find the balance between honoring what is important and adapting to the needs to respect the human dignity of all. If we wish to remember or honor the tradition of "Black Pete", then let him be portrayed by willing black actors/celebrants and as the willing friend of Sinterklaas that he is, and not a comic figure, slave or buffoon. I know that he has been portrayed by Dutch for countless generations in black face, as a celebration for children, of a long forgotten historical person, most likely a Moor. However, the time for black face anywhere has come to an end. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/15/black-pete-arrests_n_6163926.html
Although the shackles of chattel incarceration through a war of Colonialism on People of African Descent specifically and people of color generally, seems to have been removed from the US governmental system over a century ago, people of African descent in Africa, Europe, and the Americas, are still under a great oppression. European Caucasian slave owners' balance sheets, along with their, oxen, horses, cows, farm equipment and other tangible assets were calculated in great detail as evidence to the crime of White supremacy and the erroneous notions of a god given "Manifest destiny". Through the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment, on December 6, 1865, to the Civil Rights legislation that had been passed to relinquish the legal chains, and inequality, where Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241,. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Afrikan Americans specifically and people of color generally are still enduring the collateral damage of White supremacy and it's destructive manifestations.
*MAAFA SYNDROME
I call this enslaved mindset, Maafa Syndrome.
Maafa Syndrome means the total identification with an assailant abuser or terrorist, for the hope of favor. Maafa Syndrome predates the term that is known as Stockholm syndrome (Capture Bonding). Many people of African descent, had/have been targeted, terrorized, and indoctrinated by other ethnic groups, and classes, as though they are subordinate. Many people of African Descent accept and comply with this subordination, and Assimilation, thinking they have no other alternative means... Many African Centered scholars will use the euro reference of "Stockholm Syndrome" to attribute the symptoms of the current psychological phenomena in people of African Descent. Yet the trauma and specific behaviors predate this euro contemporary coined phrase. Maafa Syndrome is specific to our people of Afrikan Descent. Adenike Amen-Ra M.Sp.Ed
Maafa is a KiSwahili word that means chaos and "terrible disaster." Maafa is an African term, like the word Holocaust, that is used universally for the trauma that was exacted particularly against people of African descent, by identifying them according to the color of their skin, to be thought upon as deficient and only worthy of being used as a beast of burden by colonizing imperialist. This term refers to the periods of time, when Indigo People, or People of African descent, were invaded in Afrika by Arabs and Aryan societies, to then be subjected to a war cult in the Atlantic, which subjugated the advanced cultural knowledge and vast resources within the Afrikan cradle of civilization, science, technology and spiritual achievements of the African diaspora. This Maafa has continued to occur within the Americas, and globally, by Invaders, imperialists, and colonizers that sought the expansion of their power and way of life, against Indigo people, who choose to live in harmony with creation.
Afrikan Americans in the US had to endure the Domestic terrorism, of the likes of Black Codes. In late 1865, Mississippi and South Carolina enacted the first Black Codes. Mississippi’s law required Black people to have written evidence of employment for the coming year each January; if they left before the end of the contract, they would be forced to forfeit earlier wages and were subject to arrest. Sharecropping, Jim Crow Segregation Laws, and Redlining, Re-bounded. Black children, elders, and women. African Americans are still subjected to Inequity, racist leadership, inequality in the workforce, employment in Corporate jobs, inequality in education, harassment and outright killing in stores and market places, Lynching, Police homicide, and brutality, supremacy systems, in public and commercial places, spite, hate crimes, and terrorist bombings and assaults. Black Americans still live in enemy territory, among apathetic and insensitive people, under a state of "white" supremacy, racial profiling, stereotyping, and terrorism. People of color and poor Caucasians became collateral damage and expendable assets to the proliferation of erroneous notions white supremacy.
Yet, unlike, Native Americans, Jews, Chinese, and Japanese nations, etc., no outside national actions, Economic Recovery or Health Therapy, by the US society, has been employed to give restitution or reparations, for the mental and physical abuse, for the captivity, and colonization that occurred, for the family and societal disenfranchisement that was inherited, and for what economic destitution still remains with people of African descent today.
Yet many Afrikkan descendants are in denial of the long-lasting effects of the traumatically brutal institution of the inhumane treatment and forced labor, used to build the United States. They often passively assert that slavery happened long ago, it has nothing to do with them now, and as melanin people, we should forgive and forget it, and take advantage of any ‘freedoms’ now available to us. However, the emotional and psychological damage caused by the Transatlantic war, US mass murder and genocide, colonization, human trafficking, rape, and terrorism, was so severe, that many people today still struggle with psychological, health challenges, displaced families, and economic disenfranchisement. So many of our people have assimilated, and are compliant with the WASP middle-class value system of the United States.
One of the early incentives to divide and conquer organization and unity for people of African descent, outside of Religious indoctrination and the Willie Lynch syndrome, is the Meritorious Manumission Act.
The Meritorious Manumission Act of 1710 are principles that controlled the thinking of Caucasians and People of African Descent then and now. This is how racism/white supremacy functions, and how this act affects us today. The Meritorious Manumission Act of 1710 was a legal act of freeing a slave in exchange for his or her "good deeds" as defined by the national public policy:
1.Saving a so-called white person's life
2. Protecting a caucasian's personal property

ARE YOU AN ASSIMILATIONIST (Acting Whyt) OR A REVOLUTIONARY?!
Assimilation describes the process by which a person integrates socially, culturally, and/or politically into a larger, dominant culture and society.
*The term assimilation is often referenced to immigrants, refugees, and ethnic groups settling in a new land. Immigrants acquire new customs and attitudes through contact and communication with the new society, while they rarely introduce some of their own cultural traits to that society.
*Full assimilation occurs when new members of a society become indistinguishable from older members.
Social scientists rely on four primary benchmarks to assess successful immigrant assimilation:
socioeconomic status, geographic distribution, second language attainment, and intermarriage.
The challenge with this synopsis is that America was invaded by the US. The indigenous people of America were subjected to genocide and those who remained were terrorized onto Reservations. Children were then abducted and forced into assimilation where they were stripped of their way of live, culture, language, and sovereignty. While their land was parceled off.
The US had the kill the culture save the Man objectives which were imposed on all people of color
Enslavement was also an assimilation process.
In the late 1950s psychologists, by the name of Dr. Kenneth and Mamie Clark, established an experiment, called the Doll study, which revealed the effects that segregation had on the African descendant community. Many ethnic and class groups, including people of African descent, isolated dark complexed dolls as undesirable, and un-preferred over other dolls of lighter complexions. This created a precedent for the integration of Americans of African descent into work and living situations around the descendants of those who had enslaved, colonized and disenfranchised them. The outcome of this integration mitigated the major obliteration of Black Schools, Black businesses, Black owned land and farms, and whole communities owned and opperated by Americans of African descent.
5 questions for gauging African consciousness, by Dr. Amos N Wilson (February 23,1941 – January 14, 1995), Dr. Wilson was a former Professor of Psychology at the City University of New York. He would argue that "only a systematic correction in consciousness can help people, who were taught to think as slaves, and to truly escape bondage."
Dr. Amos N Wilson, the renowned author who penned books such as “The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child,” and "Blueprint for Black Power," posed five simple questions.
If Wilson’s questions are answered truthfully, they reveal and monitor Maafa Syndrome as the enslaved mindset, still within many People of African Descent.
1. What Language Do You Speak?
Language is critical to the expression of culture because it’s a way to express the values, beliefs, and customs of a people. It is fundamental to cultural identity, and if people forget their native tongue, they lose an important aspect of their culture and a piece of who they are. This is fundamental to why people must keep their own languages alive.
When Indigo people were forced to adopt the languages of the English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, etc., in the United States, in essence, they were forced to abandon their own worldview and accept a foreign/alien one, that regarded them as subordinate, and that they were only present, to support the interest and economy of colonist. The mentality that allowed this relationship to happen still exists among us today. It is imperative, that Indigo people pursue their own thoughts, expressions, and Communities. Our rich African languages are alive and are the mother tongue of all other languages. learning to speak multiple languages at a young age, enhances the intelligence and capacity for social interaction and successful communication. It also reduces senility in older ages.
2. What Kind of Clothes Do You Wear?
Fashion has always played an important role in African culture. The styles, patterns, and weaves of clothing often held Scientific, mathematical, spiritual, and mythical significance. In addition, some of the most beautiful garments in the world were crafted by the hands of African crafters. Clothing, Threads, and Fabric are tied to the land and the resources of that land, that a community owns. Many brought their skills to Europe and the Americas, like leathercraft, Indigo dye, tapestry, lacework, and even Patchwork Quilting. dye comes from the Motherland of Afrika. Indigo purple was one owed exclusively by the royal families. Now Indigo dye is exploitable and commonly used for the color of work clothing like denim jeans. The skills of Indigenous people were often exploited as just another source of income for those who incarcerated people of African Descent.
Black people obviously were not able to wear their traditional garments under captivity. Instead, they were provided European styled rags of clothing, often the cheapest and least durable available.
Today, for the most part, Black people have held onto their instinct for elaborate fashion, but for many, Black people have been colonized in their thinking through plagiarized, and alien religious beliefs of Aryan, Asians, and Europeans. So traditional African clothing is thought of as strange and undesirable by our own Afrikan communities, as Europeans perceived it hundreds of years ago. In addition, we are loyal to clothing brands originating outside our communities. These Artificial polyesters and acrylic fabrics are very toxic and dehydrating on our skin and hair.
We must return to our own industry and production, growing and processing our own Cotton, Flax, Hemp, Indigo, Wool, and Leather.
3. What Names Do You Answer To?
After Indigo people were kidnapped from their lands in America or brought to the Americas from Africa, they had to continue to endure terrorism and a number of brutal crimes against them. One was being stripped of the names they were given in their native languages and communities. This forced abandonment of their family and heritage destroyed a vital link that tied people of African descent to their countries of origin and disconnected them from their cultural history that dated back further than that of their enslavers.
Rather than being called by the traditional and beautiful names that recorded who they were and where they were from, Afrikans were given names that presented them as property. I recall the infamous scene when Kunta Kente was beaten until he excepted the name "Toby." If there were more than one slave with the same name in any given group, they were assigned various identifiers such as “little” or “big,” so each would know who was being called for.
Since slavery was officially abolished, some Blacks have shed the European names that were once forced upon them and have adopted African Names.
4. What Food Do You Eat?
During the Trans Atlantic War, those who incarcerated our people as prisoners of war would work captured Africans with long work hours, cramped quarters, and harsh punishments. They lived their lives from day to day in desperation, neglect, and hunger. They were stripped of their cultural ties, Equatorial sunshine, and tropical nutrients. Many have now chosen by habit to consume these slave foods, as a reminder of their ancestors' struggles. Many of the foods like Cow tongue, Catfish, Oxtail, Pork Ribs, Bacon, Chitterlings, and other Pork products, for instance, have become delicacies with a high price per pound at the market place. Yet, people of African descent are presently dying from the caustic effects of these foods, with high blood pressure, strokes, Diabetes, Heart Attack, and Cancers leading the death toll before homicide.
The Amen Par Ankh (sacred temple of life) was established to promote health and wellness in the most desolate areas in Kansas City, MO. to remove the hand of disease and Death for Indigo African Americans.
We can have sustainable urban communities! This starts with Feeding ourselves!
IN ORDER TO FREE OURSELVES WE MUST FEED OURSELVES!
WE MUST GROW OUR OWN FOODS! Taking back our involvement with what we consume and feed to our families is the most empowering action we can take. We used to have victory gardens, as a way of preparing for disaster and being responsible to our families and community. Even the act of having a container garden full of herbs that can be grown indoors is an excellent start. Grounding with the earth, "sticking a seed in the ground" and watching it grow from a seedling to full bloom is one of the most gratifying and fulling relationships that anyone can have. If you are not ready to connect with nature and the foods you consume, then purchase your food, locally from local growers as often as possible.
Participate and seek out and get to know your urban growers and agriculturalist and locally grown food markets. amen.ankh@live.com (816)281-7704
When a pig was slaughtered, the entrails, feet, hide, and head “from the rooter to the tooter” was all that was left. This included pig’s feet, skin- Cracklins, and intestines- chitterlings. In modern times, people still partake of this type of food, even though it has been determined to be unhealthy. https://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2014/11/holiday-health-death-to-life-foods-for.html
The Traditional diet of people of African descent was predominantly Mediterranean, and rich with tropical fruits and vegetables.

5. Can You Name One African Spiritual System?
Catholics, Christians, Islamic, and Jews sanctioned the enslavement and Indoctrination Christian/Islam Religions on to people of African descent. In the process, African peoples were forced to abandon their own spiritual systems. To adopt the European version of Christianity and Aryan Islam is like jumping from the frying pan into the flame.
Africans had their own religions and concepts of God. Today many of the fears and negative feelings we have towards spiritual systems of our ancestors are a direct result of the anti-African ideology, that was taught and harshly enforced on the plantations.
One of the most egregious acts committed by the racist system of religious thought was the formation of the image of a caucasian man as the ‘son’ of God and later transformed as God in the flesh and spirit. This caucasian male image, which is referred to as "Christ" and is still worshiped by many ethnic African Diaspora cultures of people around the world today, helps to foster a belief that implies that the Caucasian man is white, innocent, just, perfect, good, supreme and the only source of blessings.
We must apply the principles of MAAT and the Nguzo Saba to heal ourselves!
