"B"HM FINALE: WE ARE NOT BLACK, AFRICAN, OR AFRICAN AMERICAN

You may think I am going to provide a lot of research and information here, NOPE!!!! You if you are reading this an interested in what I mean, you must began to search, find, and seek knowledge to know self and understand your ancestry and then begin to honor your ancestors!

All life, all people originated from the continent now called "Africa", Merita.  The knowledge center of Merita was "Egypt", Kemet.  So if EVERYONE on the planet earth traces their ancestry they shall find their origins in Merita!

Black was a label given to our ancestors because of their skin color.  Africa was a name given to the continent due to its conqueror.

People of color are "melanin rich", melanin which we all know is what makes are skin the beautiful varying hues of brown that it is. 

The first written language Medu Neteru you know this as "hieroglyphics".  Yes, history was written, it was written in stone.  Papyrus was created in Kemet then came paper and books.  As the saying goes there is nothing new under the sun, this saying is so true, and knowledge, math, science, and many of "modern" technology, if not most or dare I say all comes from Kemet and Merita.

Its time we know our history and go further than the continental US!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH: ORIGINS OF THE OSCAR STATUE

This was posted on Ramomart.com's FaceBook page and I wanted to share!   

Have you wondered what's the whole yearly ritual with the Oscar Awards, Golds Statues and movie stars? Well it may go back way further than you think, way back to Africa in Ancient Egypt. In Egypt there were two major Gods one in charge of Picture making and craftsmen and the other with the Stars and the Afterlife. One of these Gods was called Ptah lord of PICTURE MAKING, CRAFTSMEN AND ARTIST. In the modern world where do you find ARTIST, CRAFTSMEN and MOTION PICTURES being made? In Hollywood of course, so the Oscar statues are modeled from the God Ptah.
The ancient scribes and sculptors who created the best sculptures and pictures for the temples after their work was completed they would be granted a statue of the God Ptah from the Pharaoh himself. This ritual would take place at the capital at MnNfr/Memphis in the HutKaPth/Temple of Ptah.
This ritual is still performed today where an actor wins a statue like the God Ptah for the BEST PICTURE.
The term Oscar also dates to an Egyptian God Asar/Osiris who ruled over the underworld in the constellation Sah today called Orion
* *°.˛*.˛.°★。˛°.★** *★* * .
According to the pyramid text the oldest religious text ever written by man the Pharaohs soul would ascend to Sah/Orion to be reborn as a ★STAR★ to live for eternity. The only catch was according to the pyramid text is that Pharaoh's Ba/soul would have to transform into a AKH/spirit to travel and reach Asar in Orion, similar to how today you have to become a ACTOR to win a Oscar. Today scientist at NASA have discovered that Orion indeed has a Star Nebula where stars are born. How did the ancients know this before modern technology? It's not by chance that the Egyptian term Sah sounds like the modern word Star. In today's world Pharaohs are no longer attempting to transform their souls into Stars in the kingdom of Asar but actors are with their Oscar's.
Modern stars are found in Hollywood where their goal is to receive the most prestigious Oscar Award and then become superstars. Check the New Yorker Cover >>http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2011/02/28/110228fi_fiction_sayrafiezadeh
A small note to add the brother of the star God Asar was called SeT lord of illusions, Chaos and materialism, and in Hollywood when they are creating a dream world or an illusion its referred to as a movie Set. So after leaving the movie SeT as a Akh or actor they hope to meet Asar or Oscar after playing the role of the Hero or Horus like the Pharaohs of old. The God of picture making Ptah and the God of Stars Asar when combined you get the Oscars. Ancient myths and rituals are still being performed in a modern form.
The question now becomes despite todays religions what brotherhood has kept the ancient Gods relevant in this modern world? More to come in Raturn of the Gods: Rise of the ShemsuHor
By the way this is the last month to see Orion/Sah is the night sky's till fall Happy Oscar's Star Gazing* *°.˛*.˛.°★。˛°.★** *★* * (Ramomart.com also on FaceBook)

BLACK HISTORY MONTH: FELA KUTI

Last Saturday, I went to see the stage play FELA at the Arie Crown theater.  I had no idea what to expect or no knowledge of who Fela Kuti was before seeing this electrifying, engaging, politically conscious play!

 

From the play, I learned this man Fela attempted to wake up those in his nation, Nigeria, through music and lyrics.  Due to his activism he was a target of government and the powers that be who did not want any changes to the status quo of how Nigeria was/is.

His song Zombie made me think about many of us around the world.  Fela said a Zombie walks, talks, moves, and thinks the way it is told/programmed too.  Now one may be reading this saying to themselves, I'm not a Zombie.  So let me as this, how often do you believe what you hear or see on the radio, TV, or even in history books?  How often do you simply believe without researching or choosing to not believe?

  

 

You can read the lyrics to International Thief here:  http://www.lyricsmania.com/itt_international_thief_thief_lyrics_fela_kuti.html

The production of the play was awesome, the message behind the play intrigued me to want to learn more about Fela Kuti and the struggles of Nigeria.  If you did not attend the play this year in Chicago or wherever you may be WHEN it returns I encourage you to attend.  I believe any child over the age of 14 will appreciate the knowledge.  As it applies to the US government and even my city of Chicago.  It seems those that speak out against government are black balled, killed, made out to be criminals, harrassed, etc.

He also has an autobiography Fela: The Bitch of a Life by Carlos Moore

BLACK HISTORY MONTH: MALCOLM X

After Spike Lee released his film about the life of Malcolm X, hats with X on them and other apparel were released.  I had a black hat with a white X on it, I wore it school one day.  A counselor stopped me, asked me what the X meant.  I looked at her and kept walking.  I was a little disturbed that she was unaware.  After all she was a part of the educational system but maybe I should have explained it to her.  

I also remember at the end of Spike Lee's movie, different children and people proclaimed.  I am Malcolm X!

Sometimes I feel Malcolm's legacy has been overshadowed by Dr. King's because Malcolm X believed in obtaining things by any means necessary, even if that meant violence.  However, there are countless stories in the bible where violence, war, and battles were required to defeat the enemy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louise Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the family's eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl's civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm's fourth birthday.

"When my mother was pregnant with me, she told me later, a party of hooded Klu Klux Klan riders galloped up to our home... Brandishing their shotguns and rifles, they shouted for my father to come out."

Regardless of the Little's efforts to elude the Legion, in 1929 their Lansing, Michigan home was burned to the ground. Two years later, Earl's body was found lying across the town's trolley tracks. Police ruled both incidents as accidents, but the Little's were certain that members of the Black Legion were responsible. Louise suffered emotional breakdown several years after the death of her husband and was committed to a mental institution. Her children were split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages.

Growing up

Malcolm was a smart, focused student. He graduated from junior high at the top of his class. However, when a favorite teacher told Malcolm his dream of becoming a lawyer was "no realistic goal for a nigger," Malcolm lost interest in school. He dropped out, spent some time in Boston, Massachusetts working various odd jobs, and then traveled to Harlem, New York where he committed petty crimes. By 1942 Malcolm was coordinating various narcotics, prostitution and gambling rings. Read more at (http://www.malcolmx.com/about/bio.htmlhttp://www.malcolmx.com/about/bio.html)

BLACK HISTORY MONTH: SUPPORT YOUR OWN

While watching Hidden Colors 2 something hit home for me and it sparked an immediate change in myself.  To loosely quote the movie, an African American went into a Korean beauty supply that sells hair, the AA attempted to sell hair to the Korean shop, they declined.  The AA then offered to sell the hair for half the amount the Korean shop was already paying.  The Korean shop still declined.  The Korean then told the AA we support our own, you all, AAs, buy from anyone.

This is so true, many AAs do shop and buy with anyone.  I immediately went on FaceBook and posted a comment asking for all that know of any AA nail salons or nail technicians.  As I now go to the Asian community to get my nails done, instead of supporting my own.  

Therefore, I've made a conscious decision to support my own.  Ironically, I was speaking to my mother this morning and she mentioned she went to the Brickyard Mall, she walked into a store and didn't notice any AAs working in the store, she asked where the AA employees were, discovered the store had none and she left.  She decided not to shop in that store because they did not employ AAs.

When I think about the state of affairs for the majority of AAs, poor education, poverty, low employment, high employment, I commended my mother.  While her choice to not support won't put that particular store out of business or make them change their policy.  What if more people joined with her and decided to not shop in stores that didn't employ AAs and let them know that is why they aren't shopping/buying from that store or restaurant? What if?

This is absolutely what I'm leaning toward.  One universal language seems to be the almighty dollar.  It is time out for businesses opening up in our communities benefiting and profiting off of us but not contributing anything to our community our causes.  Why do we support these establishments?  Why do we complain and contemplate the state of black America but continue to be an active participant in our own demise?

Yes, I know, I've heard numerous times the stories of poor customer service from AA owned businesses, employees with bad attitudes, people showing up late etc.  But I dare ask other establishments that provide you with poor customer service you are not quick to write them off.  Or the ones that provide you with quality customer service but employ no one or few that look like you therefore in no way do they support the upliftment of your people, why continue to give them your business?

Why not support your own? Provide positive feedback and constructive criticism instead of writing them off and all AA owned business all together?

I know its easier to get your nails done by Koreans but why allow all of these shops to pop up in your community but not employ ANYONE that looks like you?  They aren't making any impact in your community! 

This is not necessarily to put companies out of business, this is an attempt to ensure that AAs get their just due be it jobs, education, services, and that our businesses thrive by supporting our own.  It is time for us to be more selective and think before we make a purchase.

As what I realized is while I'm thinking about the problem, possible solutions, volunteering and giving my time, I am apart of the problem because I rarely support my own and the businesses of those who look like me.

It is time we make a difference and support our own!

Feel free to post comments of AA owned businesses that you are aware of!
