When We Were Kings

Ask an adult raised before 2000 and the they will tell you never has their been so much information or such positive imagery of melanated people than is readily available today.  Our disconnect stems from our lack of guidance and resources to obtain the knowledge, our reliance on the public school system to teach us history and a dependence on others to define who we are as a people. We allowed this system, created by our oppressor, to categorize us under brands: Black, Negro, Colored, African American and the new POC (People of Color). to keep us misinformed is their deliberate determination to separate us from the land and our culture, to wonder from one concept to the next always searching for our true identity.

The first time we see a painting of a King with our complexion dressed in exquisite regalia prominently sitting on a horse and feel overwhelming pride. The psychology of this imagery provides positive reinforcement and self identification with a history hidden for centuries in the English Queen's Palace or the Vatican. Think of the treasures still encapsulated in their tombs revealing our science, mathematic, alchemy, culture and heritage preserved in time with limited scrutinized access granted to this hidden cash.

To internalize the imagery of a melanated being who lived during the 16th and 17th Centuries who is clearly of noble stature possessing a family crest and wearing finely crafted amour of gold and silver seems unfathomable. To process our history has been stolen, believing artist's renditions of fair skinned, straight haired people placed in a role they never held until more recent times is a bitter pill to swallow. But why was this deception necessary? What is the real story and who specifically hid this history allowing you to believe you are worthless, subhuman and have a mental capacity that would never allow you to evolve into being anything more than subservient.

So, who are you really? You were taught who you are by your oppressors, they told you the truth but you never internalized fully the natives they conquered worldwide were your ancestors. You were the race whose leaders were killed or imprisoned, your women were intentionally raped with the hopes of producing lighter generations who would become your overseer and subordinate your ancestors to the lowest status. As each generation is born their systematic education becomes watered down like Kool-Aid which, like this artificial drink, has no real nutritional value but our culture has been given as substitute for fruit juice. We have been intentionally designed to become the consumer who makes nothing, owns nothing, but consumes everything.  Do you see the hypocrisy in this engineered fraud and the secret commitment needed to carry out such a diabolical plan?

Now that the truth is being revealed where do we go from here? First you must discover your past, who are you descended from and what is your culture. As we know all civilization began in Ethiopia and migrated to populate the world, your claim can be as far back as the motherland or as recent as your connection to the immigrants who made an exodus from Ethiopia to inhabit your current land. This choice of how you connect is yours but you must research because the time has come for you to gain this understanding and take your rightful place among men.
