CORONAVIRUS AND AFRICANS

Coronavirus and Africans African Americans are often quite prominently noted, pictured, featured, in the United States of America’s media, when crime, disease, poverty, misery are indices. The practice is so notorious it’s almost a predictable fact. “White is right. Brown stick around. Yellow is mellow. Black get back”. This silly color scheme, a school yard meme is America . Therefore with the Coronavirus virus’ few reported cases of blacks being infected, the natural tendency, given Americans’ racist history, sociology, mythology about blacks, is to assume that there are none; or if some very few . Why else the silence? As though in confirmation of this “white” traditional paradigm, American billionaire, Bill Gates, whose philanthropy is reported to be of some value to Africa, in certain respects, has publicly commented that when Coronavirus reaches Black Africa, that the Subcontinent’s sad health care vulnerabilities would be on full display! Fortunately very few cases have thus far been reported in Black Africa, and fewer still are reported to be among indigenous Africans, compared to foreigners, tourists, tradesmen, visitors from Europe or Asia. This is not to state that the virus will not yet appear. After all, Africans have known viruses like the world had never seen! The earlier “Caucasian virus” affecting, destabilizing, enervating Africa was that woeful centuries-old slave trade of tens of millions of Africa’s best people to Western Asia, Western Europe, and to the “New World” of the Americas and the Caribbean Sea, by Muslims and Christians. Aspects of this earlier “Caucasian virus” endure. So, maybe God is granting us Africans a respite. Then again, maybe not. Either way, we will see and know soon enough. In the meantime, I expect a profusion of alleged scientific articles to be published attempting to explain away the yet small numbers of affected Africans abroad or at home, who may not have been hindered by Coronavirus, as having nothing to do with “race.” Such persons may claim no ‘race’ exists, as earlier integrationists did; for we are all the same they claim. We are indeed substantially similar in seminal respects, but there are still dissimilarities. Maybe Coronavirus has found that niche! https://www.reuters.com/ar…/china-health-gates-idUSL2N2AS1AV

NONE

None know it all. Sense it all. None have it all, nor can do it all.None has reproduced itself, none can bury itself . None is panoramic. We complement , we complete each other . So give thanks! AMEN.

BEGINNING OF SORROWS

“BEGINNING OF SORROWS” Studying historical truth long enough may reveal to you that our current existence is in a crass fraudulent world, whose 2000+ years’-old values have been inverted, been distorted, subverted, & turned upside-down, by occult conspiracies . Such is the case because in our past centuries, past age’s religions taught philosophical perspectives “began”, not at ‘the beginning’ in the truth, in facts, in correct history; but in plagiarism, myth, hyperbole. For the very first philosophers, now claimed to have been in our era were not the Africans: Egyptian or Ethiopian, but it is Socrates, supposedly; him being but an “apostrophe,” a literary device who was used, created and wielded by Plato, who contrived Socrates to be a dialectical foil to contrast with Plato or other raconteurs in Plato’s iconic “dialogues.” Philosophy had existed countless ages before both Plato and Socrates, his effigy; so it is demonstrated in the papyri of Egypt. So it was written by Plato in his book ‘Timaeus’. Therein he writes that to the Egyptian priests, the “Greeks were like children “ in their limited understanding of nature, God, cosmos, mankind . Plato who also studied for decades in the nations of Africa, called the Nile River, “Father Nile.” Beginning with the Greeks, for that is where our current distorted conception of civilization—Egyptology notwithstanding—begins; where our incorrect concept of God begins; where “Philosophy” begins, where mathematics, literature, astronomy, medicine, agriculture, navigation, music, architecture, begins—let the liars tell it—it is truly the “beginning of sorrows.” for the black man of Africa in history. Matt.24:8. It is all untrue. It is plagiarized sophistry. These thoughts were borne in mind by me privately until I continued reading today in THE AGE OF REASON by Thomas Paine. Paine, the long defiled American founding father, English man, was the true author of the “Declaration of Independence,” not Thomas Jefferson as fraudulently claimed in history. Thomas Paine is author of the “Declaration of the Rights of Man,” whose revolutionary philosophy launched the French and a Haitian Revolutions, and by extension, the ‘Freedom War’ in America , more commonly known as the ‘Civil War.’ Paine writes: “One thing, however, is much less equivocal, which is, that out of the matters contained in those books, together with the assistance of some old stories, the Church has set up a system of religion very contradictory to the character of the person whose name it bears . It has set up a religion of pomp and revenue, in pretended imitation of a person whose life was humility and poverty. “The invention of purgatory , and of the releasing of souls therefrom by prayers bought of the church with money; the selling of pardons, dispensations , and indulgences, are revenue laws, without bearing the name or carrying the appearance. But the case nevertheless is, that those things derive their origin from the paroxysm of the crucifixion and the theory deduced therefrom, which was that one person could stand in the place of another, and could perform meritorious service for him. The probability, therefore, is that the whole theory or doctrine of what is called the redemption (which is said to have been accomplished by the act of one person in the room of another) was originally fabricated on purpose to bring forward and build all those secondary and pecuniary redemptions upon; and that the passages in the books, upon which the idea or theory of redemption is built , have been manufactured and fabricated for that purpose . Why are we to give this Church credit when she tells us that those books are genuine in every part, any more than we give her credit for everything else she has told us, or for the miracles she says she has performed? That she could fabricate writings is certain, because she could write; and the composition of the writings in question is of the kind that might do it; and that she ‘did’ fabricate them is not more inconsistent with probability than that she could tell us, as she has done, that she could and did work miracles . “Since, then, no external evidence can, at this long distance of time, be produced to prove whether the church fabricated the doctrines called redemption or not (for such evidence , whether for or against, would be subject to the same suspicion of being fabricated), the case can only be referred to the internal evidence which the thing carries within itself; and this affords a very strong presumption of its being a fabrication. For the internal evidence is that the theory or doctrine of redemption has for its base an idea of pecuniary Justice, not moral Justice. “If I owe a person money, and cannot pay him, and he threatens to put me in prison, another person can take the debt upon himself, and pay it for me; but if I have committed a crime every circumstance has changed; moral Justice cannot take the innocent for the guilty, even if the innocent would offer itself. To suppose Justice to do this , is to destroy the principle of its existence, which is the thing itself; it is then no longer Justice, it is indiscriminate revenge. “This single reflection will show, that the doctrine of redemption is founded on a mere pecuniary idea corresponding to that of a debt which another person might pay ; and this pecuniary idea corresponds again with the system of second redemption, obtained by the means of money given to the Church for pardons, the probability is that the same persons fabricated both the one and the other of those theories; and that in truth, there is no such thing as redemption—that it is fabulous , and that man stands in the same relative position to his Maker as he ever did stand, since man existed, and that it is his greatest consolation to think so. “Let him believe this, and he will live more consistently and morally than by any other system; it is by his being taught to contemplate himself as an outlaw, as an outcast, as a beggar, as a mumper, as one thrown, as it were , on a dung hill at an immense distance from his Creator, and who must make his approaches by creeping and cringing to intermediate beings, that he conceives either a contemptuous disregard for everything under the name of religion , or becomes indifferent, or turns whatever he calls devout. In the latter case, he consumes his life in grief, or the affectation of it; his prayers are reproaches; his humility is ingratitude ; he calls himself a worm, and the fertile earth a dunghill; all the blessings of life by the thankless name of vanities; he despises the choicest gift of God to man, the GIFT OF REASON; and having endeavored to force upon himself the belief of a system against which reason revolts, he ungratefully calls it ‘human reason’, as if man could give reason to himself. “Yet with all this strange appearance of humility and contempt for human reason, he ventures into the boldest presumptions; he finds fault with everything; his selfishness is never satisfied; his ingratitude is never at an end. He takes on himself to direct the Almighty what to do , even in the government of the universe; he prays dictatorially; when it is sunshine , he prays for rain, and when it rains, he prays for sunshine ; he follows the same idea in everything he prays for; for what is the amount of all his prayers but an attempt to make the Almighty change his mind, and act otherwise than he does? It is as if he were to say: ‘Thou knowest not so well as I .’” P. 22-24, AGE OF REASON by Thomas Paine (2014) Thus, in summation is an explanation for the hypocrisy of America; for thus is explained the breach between creed and deed in our national existence. It dates all way back to Fourth Century B.C., Greece through the Fifth Century A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine’s successful ambit to preserve Romans’ historical power and legacy through the intermediary of Jesus Christ, as imposed, edited, and financed.

WHAT IS TRUE ?

WHAT IS TRUE ABOUT YOU? Start out wrong, one must end up wrong: gardening, drafting, teaching, child rearing; just as well say wrong in anything. A lying start, a false start is a first scratch. Such early errors do equal bad ends, penalties . Lies, myths, misinformation, miseducation, all sedulously require culture’s continuous maintenance. The truth can stand on its own even if it is crusted, overlain by centuries of debris, dirt, disinformation. Fortunately people have potential to be turned around from all wrong beginnings, based on lies, myths, disinformation. But, it takes a clean environment conducive to the spirit of truth and a person willing to hear and abide by the truth. It takes both. This spirit is called revival, renewal, and it is personal, philosophical, sociological in its sweep, gathering and scattering as it goes, flows, grows . A new earth rises by reason of a revived spirit of truth therein, thereon, thereof. Therefore, begin to learn what is true about you, then about all that you can. This effort will be blessed by the divine primordial spirit of creation whose sacred polyphony you will have accessed. Amen.

YOU

YOU ARE YOU ALWAYS. YOU LEARN, ADAPT, GROW, MARRY. WORK , REPRODUCE, AGE, DIE. YET YOU ARE FOREVER YOU IN SPIRITUAL ESSENCE.

NECESSARY AND ACCESSORY

How can any people be “integrally Islamic,” [or integrally Christian], yet “still seem to be Negro”? P. 471, “East African Antiquities “ WHEN WE RULED “ by Robin Walker (2006) The assertion above was refashioned as a question , by me, purposefully, to see what may be more intrinsic philosophy: culture or religion. “Negro” seems to bind both Islam and Christianity, historically, doctrinally; yet neither religion is governed by Negroes . Identifying what is a Negro, culturally, racially, is as problematic as defining what is Islam or Christianity, culturally, racially, given diversity. Perhaps defining the word “integrally” may ease our plight, our predicament. “Integral” is defined as “necessary to make a whole complete; essential or fundamental.” A person may be whole or complete under either religion, or any religion and in any race. So neither religion is “necessary” nor race but are accessory in the lives of man and woman. Amen.

SPIRIT OF CRIME BEGETS CRIME

A SPIRIT OF CRIME BEGETS CRIME BY LAW OF GRAVITY When the 1950’s and 1960’s civil rights movements came to protest in certain cities in the South, some have said that the crime rates among blacks there fell to near zero. I was encouraged to hear this fact—if indeed it was a fact, not a canard , a lie , false hope. For, if it were true, then, it may open the possibility of a new remedy for criminal vestiges in those cities as well as in certain others. That ‘remedy’ would be a revival of the spirit of the civil rights movement. I say “revival of the spirit” because “where there is no [spirit or ] vision the people perish, but he that keeps the law, happy is he. Prov 29:18. Proverbs 29:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Philosopher King, and others, recognized that a system of oblivious criminality had historically hung over the United States of America, dating as far back to its founding in 1789; its device was the use of racially exclusive Constitutional provisions that deftly deified certain“white” people by default, as it vilified the blacks by deceit. This criminality compounded itself by the legal extension of slavery until 1808, and a (largely uncollected) $10 per head import tax on imported Africans until then; by a full faith and credit clause to promote the return of fugitive African slaves from non-slaveholding states; a commerce clause to promote slavery and its commercial propagation. There were some others like the infamous 3/5’s clause to determine Congressional representatives of states. For the spirit of enslavement which had pervaded Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the Constitution was hammered out by a series of political compromises, after the “Articles of Confederation” had failed to collect enough revenue or to centralize power in the hands of a very wealthy few. The ratified Constitution’s principles were at odds with its acclaimed, purportedly historical, revolutionary predecessor , the “Declaration of Independence” of 1776 that was written by Thomas Paine, but was edited by an editing committee of 5 people, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson among 5 editors to tone it down. Water and waste matter roll downhill and downtown by the law of gravity into the lives of the people in their families, courts, churches, schools, police departments, homes, stores, libraries, armed forces, clubs, arts, crafts businesses , science, trade , taxation, industry, philosophy, commerce, professions, and literature. Countering the national betrayal spirit of the constitutional oppression of blacks by “whites” by law, was the counterterrorism spirit of liberty and justice for all that was being mainly propagated in the civil rights movement, using America’s own doctrine, avowed philosophy preachments, against It. These words cut to them to the very quick! And the “white sepulchral” walls of hypocrisy came tumbling down for a time, very briefly, before the sad saga of the assassination of philosophers with King in 1968, Malcolm X in 1965, Medgar Evers in 1963, John F Kennedy in 1963, began. The nation’s political forces of racist criminality retrenched forcefully with the 1968 election Richard Milhouse Nixon’s crooked “Southern strategy,” wherewithal blacks were again made to be the pivotal pinions in the wobbly philosophical wheel of American law, culture, history, politics, commerce , education, “family values.” “Made” includes crime, criminal conduct, of blacks against blacks, which became a political buzzword for racial degradation, due to the the miscreant acts of the few, who were consigned to dreary ghettos in where unemployment, welfare subsistence were disproportionately the rule of thumb, as was self-intellectual estrangement too. “Gravity” affects the human spirit, as its force does matter, seemingly, apparently, to judge by gravity’s visitation of crime on African American people, who bemoan its persistence even though violent crime is in decline now say epidemiological statistics. In short, spirit begets spirit for good or for evil. The key to eliminating “black” crime is to eliminate overweening “white” crime.
