Fear and Ignorance are two of our biggest problems.

Many of our people are afraid of doing anything that they believe will displease Caucasians .

They fear that Caucasians will not like them, if they do something that they know Caucasians don’t approve of.

And ignorance of any knowledge or philosophy; other than that which has been taught to them or first approved of by Caucasians.

Many people of African descent, who are Christians; have a p sychological need to be love , accepted and appreciated by Caucasians

To be appreciated and loved by Caucasians has been part of our people’s psychology for over a hundred years.

During the times of slavery; our people were taught in Christianity, to love Caucasians.

No matter how badly they treated us; we were still conditioned by Christian teachings to love them ( love thy enemy ).

This conditioning began when our ancestors first accepted Christianity.

Our people were taught from an early age, in our Churches to see Caucasian image as being Divine.

To believe that somehow the Caucasian race was closer to god .

We were taught that the so-called son of god; Jesus, was a Caucasian man.

Despite the brutal treatment they received from many Caucasian slave masters and overseers, our slave ancestors knew that there was at least one Caucasian who loved them .

His name was Jesus .

And they were taught that Jesus was just like them.

They were taught that Jesus had also suffered while he lived on Earth.

Our people were taught that he was our personal saviour.

Drawing from the past that ridiculed people of African descent. Showing that the Caucasian male looked just like their false ‘man’ god.

This love for Jesus, created a subliminal effect, that made our ancestors look up to ALL Caucasians.

Our love for Jesus made many of our people feel closer to Caucasians.

That is why when many people of African descent; have an opportunity to say something to a wide audience; where many in the audience are Caucasian; they will proclaim their love for ‘Jesus’.

They want the Caucasians who hear them saying that; to love them.

Because they are proclaiming their love for ‘Jesus’.



Our ancestors, always looked for the good in all Caucasians.

No matter how badly they were treated on a daily basis; o ur people were always searching for Caucasians who were Christ-like.



They were quick to forgive any Caucasians for their cruel behaviour.

Dylan Roof the murderer of Christian African Americans

READ THE ARTICLE “MASSACRE IN THE CHURCH AT:

Judge embracing murderer of African American man in his own home.The Judge gave her a Bible 🙂

Because every Caucasian male, looked just like the images they had been shown of Jesus.

BEHAVIOUR AFTER SLAVERY

After slavery ended all our people wanted to do, was to prove to Caucasians that we could be just like them.

They wanted to be the best Christians, the best Americans, etc in order to be fully accepted by Caucasian Americans.

They erroneously believed that they would be fully accepted once Caucasians saw them behaving just like them.

They did not realise that the Christianity that they had been taught in slavery; also promoted a ‘ white supremacy belief .’

A belief that promotes the idea, that every Caucasian person was superior to every other race of people.

No matter how much they imitated Caucasians, they would never be seen by Caucasians as their equal.

Caucasians would NEVER fully accepted them as their equals.

Very few of our people tried to think independently of what they had been taught during slavery.

They didn’t research any other religion besides Christianity.

Because the majority of Caucasians in America were Christians.

They didn’t research any other political , or economic systems that existed in the world, other than what was being used in America.

They just tried to imitate whatever was popular among Caucasian Americans.

In the hope that Caucasians would accept them as equal citizens of America.

They believed the best way to be integrated into the American society was to show Caucasians that we could be exactly like them.



Imitation of everything Caucasians were doing, was our peoples’ mission in life .

Many of our women then and even now in 2020 are still trying to imitate the beauty standards of Caucasian women ( bleached skin, dyed hair, straight hair weaves and wigs).

Whatever new trends Caucasians start, we just followed their lead and imitate them.

The division between ‘upper and lower class Negroes’

If any of our people didn’t follow the program of imitating Caucasians; then they were rejected by Caucasian-minded , African Americans.

These were usually the so-called upper class Negroes.

Those who had mastered to perfection Caucasian behaviour because of education and wealth, were considered upper class Negroes.

Also because some of them had a physical similarity to Caucasians ( light skin, straight hair, thin nose and lips); they believed that they were better than other Negroes.

Other Negroes without formal education, wealth, etc. were considered the lower class.

The upper class felt that the lower class was betraying the race by not becoming better imitators of Caucasians.

They didn’t like it that these other Negroes didn’t speak proper English and didn’t give their children proper European names.

They felt that they were setting a bad example of the race to Caucasians.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED

This has been the behaviour of the majority of our people, since the end of slavery in 1865.

If the new trend among Caucasians was Communism , feminism , homosexuality or Atheism you will find many of our people joining them.

IN A BOX SINCE THE END OF SLAVERY

We are afraid to think ‘ outsides of the box .’

Inside the box is whatever Caucasian Americans have taught us and approved for us to think and do.

Although being inside the box has not made our people more acceptable to our fellow American citizens; we refuse to change .

OUTSIDE THE BOX THINKERS

The only true independent thinking that came out of any African American leadership was from:

Marcus Garvey ,

Noble Drew Ali ,

Elijah Muhammad and his faithful followers like:

Malcolm X

Minister Louis Farrakhan

Siraj Wahhaj

And Imam Wallace Deen Mohammed , Elijah Muhammad’s son.

Who was/is the brightest light and the greatest leader , who came out of the Nation Of Islam.

DISCARDING SLAVE NAMES OF OUR ANCESTORS

During the 1960s and 1970s some of our people who truly understood the effects of the psychology chains that had enslaved our people; did one of the most courageous thing to break those chains .

They changed their European names for African or Islamic names.



African Americans like:

Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay)

Kwame Toure (Stokely Carmichael)

Jamil Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown)

Kareem Abdul Jabbar (Lew Alcindor Jr.)

Dr Na’im Akbar (Luther Weems Jr.)

Singer Yusuf Hazziez (Joe Tex)

Great Jazz musician Yusef Lateef (William Huddleston)

The great poet Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones)

And many, many more, lesser known courageous individuals among our people.

Your name tells your ancestral history.

What is written on this meme is not what these men are laughing about.

SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUR NAME

If your family name only goes back to your slave ancestors, who received their names from their slave masters (or some other Caucasian); then, what does that say about who you are now?



These courageous African Americans wanted to show the world with their new names that they were a new people.



Their new names would be a constant reminder to themselves and also to everyone else; that, they were no longer mentally enslaved to Caucasian supremacy beliefs.

Those European names had been FORCED on our ancestors during slavery.



They were not allowed to keep the names given to them by their parents in Africa.



They had to be given European names that showed that they were no longer free men and women from Africa.

They no longer owned their own bodies.



They were now the property of their Caucasian slave masters.

Those names were the ‘ name brands ‘ placed upon our ancestors to show which slave-master they belonged to.



If the slave-master’s name was Baldwin, then they would be known as * Baldwin’s niggers.



Just like pet owners gives names to their dogs and cats ; our ancestors were given their names by their owners.

REVOLUTIONARY ACT OF CHANGING YOUR NAME

By changing their European names to African or Islamic names was courageous and revolutionary; because, our people had been taught to hate Africa and stay away from any other religion besides Christianity.



Today, our love and attachment to our European names , gives a true picture of where our hearts and minds are.

The majority of our people still love Europe and European ancestry more than they love Africa and African ancestry.



There is a psychological feeling of attachment to Caucasians because of the European names that the majority of our people still have.

The majority of ‘black people’ today have no intention of changing their Europeans names.



They are extremely proud of their Europeans names.

No matter how radical they talk, they will never give up the names inherited from their slave ancestors.



It is their one remaining proof of their love and fidelity to Caucasians.

Many upper class ‘blacks’ erroneously believe that unless they have ‘good’ Caucasian names (unlike names like Sheniqua , Tamika , Shemela etc), they will not be successful economically and socially with Caucasian Americans.

Many also fear they will alienate their Caucasian friends by getting rid of the European names passed down to them from their slave ancestors.

When I first noticed African American women with these unique names like, Laquisha, Sheniqua, Shemire, etc. during the 1980s; I wondered where did those names come from.

I believe that their parents were affected by the TV drama “ Roots ,” during the 1970s.

They saw how our ancestors were forced to take on European Caucasian names.

They no longer wanted to give their children Caucasian names; but they had no books or guidance on what names to give them.

So many of them created unique names to give to their babies.

I applaud them for their ingenuity .

They have shown a spark of creativity , by making up these unique names.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ENSLAVEMENT



That fear of doing something that our people believe will displease Caucasians; is deeply ingrained in our souls.



To go against the trend of imitating Caucasians, for many of our people; is like doing something against god.



That is why many did not have the courage to change their names during the 1960s and 1970s.

And the same reason in 2018, why many still hold on to their European names.

That is why the majority of our people rejected the examples of those courageous brothers and sisters who changed their European names during those times.



They also rejected our great leaders like Elijah Muhammad , Malcolm X and Wallace Mohammed ; because they were not Christians.

Because Al-Islam and the love of our ancestral homeland Africa; was not what Caucasian Americans had taught and approved for them.

Even now, most African Americans don’t know anything about the religion of Al-Islam other than what they have heard in the Caucasian controlled media .



The majority have not taken the time to do their own independent research and investigation of Islam.

They may encounter ignorant Arabs , who claim to be Muslims, behaving badly towards them; so they dismiss Islam as being irrelevant.



If Caucasians say that Islam is bad for them or it is a terrorist religion, then they will believe it wholeheartedly.



They will not give what was said to them a second thought.



Look at the recent comment by Ben Carson about Muslims and Islam.



He was a brilliant surgeon but, his thinking shows that he is still mentally enslaved.

He is just parroting what he has heard from Caucasians.

He has not done any kind of research on what Al-Islam is.

His behaviour is just like a slave wanting to please his master ; by saying what he knows the master likes to hear.

KUNTA KINTE AND TOBEY (TO OBEY)

As I said before, most African Americans would never even think of getting rid of their European names.



Their European names are their main attachment with Europe and Europeans; and they will not give it up.



African Americans with names from Scotland , England , Ireland , Spain etc.

And they are exceedingly proud of their European names .

They erroneously believe that their Caucasian ‘friends’ and every Caucasian in America would reject them if they discarded these European names.

They believe that Caucasians in big corporations would not employ them; if they didn’t have nice Caucasian names .



They believe that without good Caucasian names they would be less successful in America.



The subliminal lesson taught in the television show Roots; when Kunta Kinte was whipped into accepting the name “tobey” has been fully received by the majority of African Americans.



Good Caucasian names equal better treatment from Caucasians.

Caucasians will love you if you have a name similar to theirs.



It has been over 150 years since the end of American slavery; but African Americans are still afraid to embrace a name from their African or Islamic ancestry.



Although many immigrants, with non European names from Africa, Asia and many other parts of the world have achieved great success in the United States of America.



We are still behaving like slaves, who will not do anything unless their masters (i.e. Caucasians) first give it a stamp of approval.

African Americans are till afraid to do their own investigation of anything, that has not been first introduced to them, or approved of for them, by Caucasians .



What has really changed in the thinking and behaviour for the majority of African Americans since the end of slavery?

To become truly free we must rid ourselves of these invisible shackles that are holding us back from fulfilling the great responsibility that The Master-Creator has given us.

We have been conditioned by our people’s 500 years struggles in the Americas to be the saviours of Mankind .



But, we cannot save Humanity while still behaving and believing, that we are inferior to other Human Beings.

WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE SHACKLES AROUND OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.

* There is an excellent video called Baldwin’s Nigger that featured both James Baldwin and Dick Gregory. It was filmed in England during the 1970s.

The following is another foolish comment attributed to Dr Ben Carson. This ignorant man doesn’t realise that many Africans (especially in Ethiopian) already knew about Christianity. In fact the early images in Christianity of Jesus and his mother were of a dark skinned people.

READ THE AUTO-BIOGRAPHY OF MY FIRST 13 YEARS LIVING IN AMERICA , AFTER LEAVING MY HOMELAND, JAMAICA

This is the story of one man’s journey to self-discovery.

Like so many others, Mujahid Abdullah learned behaviors and acquired beliefs of denigration about his culture, ethnicity, and physical appearance.

These beliefs came from his local surroundings as well as the wider society and would have a major effect on his entire life.

Within the pages of this book, not only do we see these effects, but we see how he was able to move beyond the messages that were so deeply ingrained from childhood.

This is an eye-opening story of cultural practices and family beliefs that others may keep hidden.
