FORFEIT, DEMIT, REMIT, EVERY BIT OF IT!
DEMIT REMIT EVERY BIT OF IT
FORFEIT, DEMIT, REMIT, EVERY BIT OF IT
Many times. Too many times. We blacks have subordinated our interests to the national interest, often rescuing it from its own suicidal morass, by faith and works.. Less godly folk would have long since required their due of this nation, with interest .
But we are a godly people. We are descended of those of those noble people of the Nile River Valley of whom Hesiod, Homer, Herodotus, Plato, Aristotle, Diodorus Siculus sang in ancient verse, in ancient history, in philosophy and literature, We are the "sons and daughters of the gods." We are descended of those whom Tertullian, Origen, Augustine, and others sprang.
We are descended of those who survived transshipment and expropriation to two continents: Asia and America by those "foreigners" whom we had succored, taught, to be enslaved !
Being a godly people , we could not have done other than as we have done., what we have done, over two thousand years.
It is, it was our quintessential nature to do as we have done, what we have done , even being Christ-like, like the "Sermon on the Mount to transgression! If it had not been for our primordial blessedness, which we had "lost" actual knowledge of, during the massive migrations away from the Nile Valley civilizations, much would be different. God in infinite wisdom and mercy, foreordained that we would go forth in the holes of slave ships--east and west--to refurbish, to renew mankind.
Our blessed forbears left thousands of images of themselves, of us, in divine images of godliness, so we would know, could know, from whence we sprang, and the method to regain what was lost, sacrificed, recirculated, upon the broader earthen venue. These images all nations treasure, marvel, steal, and study. Soon our gross darkness shall yield to the light of day.
Soon that which was "lost" many centuries and as many deceitful treacheries ago, shall be found by we who seek. Soon to those who affected to be holy, but were not; those who pretended to be fair and just, but were not, will reap. Those who slew our priestly, Kemetic and Nubian, learned men and women, then who brazenly stole our treasures, our legacy, as solely their own, must forfeit, demit, remit, every last bit of it.
Then, again, at last the circled will have been squared, cubed.
