INTRO
We Are Not Our Grandparents. We Will Fuck You Up.
Now may not be the time to act like you’re offended at the use of the above four-lettered Anglo word that has become a part of everyday language thanks to the non-censoring of television and music. Now may be the time to get the message instead of shooting at the messenger.
It’s a meme going across Facebook and across the Internet that basically represents The Black Millennials and how they are fronting up the world around them these days. They recognize that there was never such a thing as a post-racial America, even with Barack Obama as President; and it is their own message to white supremacy that they will not lay down, pray, or and beg and bow down like their ancestors once did.
Never mind that their ancestors are the ones who cleared the way off the plantations by the kinds of activities that are now viewed as subservient and beggarly. They also often lack understanding as to why their grandparents and great-grandparents didn’t have much of a choice than to beg and bow; and they also lack understanding as to why that is the ONLY reason they are even in position to “f” anyone up. Nat Turner could tell them the story of how his revolution back then ended up in nothing but the early termination of his life and even of the lives of many Blacks who never even knew who Nat Turner was.
Before I’ll be a Slave, I’ll Be Buried in my Grave…
I am of the Joshua Generation, we are the group commissioned in scripture with taking our people over the mountaintop and into the Promised Land that Dr. King spoke of during the Moses Generation.
Our group is in the age range of 40-80 years of age, and we are direct line descendants of the Moses Generation that lasted from the mid- to late 1920s until the late 1960s. I am the mother of four sons who grew up in Subgenerations X, Y and Z under the Joshua Generation; and the grandmother of the oldest group of Black Millennials because of my 16-year old granddaughter who was born in Y2K. Y2K, the year 2000, was when the world was supposed to fall apart and crumble because of all of the pre-dated computers that were only tuned in to reach the year 1999 before they went haywire. It was said that the early programmers did not consider the Millennium in their configurations, because it was so far off that it probably seemed to them that the world would end before it got here.
But as it approached us full speed ahead, I remember how a lot of Black people silently looked forward to the crumbling of technology. For far too many of us, that technology had turned into a hard-wired plantation of sorts, especially with these credit-crunching machines of the likes of Equifax, the former TRW n/k/a Experian, and TransUnion.
The only difference this time is that it’s not just Black people who are enslaved on these technology plantations.
It is not just Black vs White, or even Rich vs Poor any more…it’s also Machine-Learned vs The Unlearned.
Through this technology, your average whites have also become mental slaves to trillions and trillions of pieces of tiny bits and bytes of data. They are obsessed with it, so obsessed that now they have resorted to the discovery of how to use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in order to control more people around the world faster than ever.
Let me say without mental reservation or purpose of evasion that “we as a People” will never get to the Promised Land the way we are going right now. We are approaching it in a TWISTED direction that we think will pave our way up and out, and in a way that is not slated to be the way to ultimate redemption. Technology will not “save” us, but it sure paves a faster course to self-destruction.
“The more we know, the dumber we get.” The ancestors used to say that. Someone else put it this way “The bigger we get, the smaller the world is in the window.” That should be more politically correct, though it means the same thing.
When I was a pre-teen, our 6th grade math teacher used to say that the day was going to come when all humans would need at birth is a head and finger with which to push buttons. We laughed when he drew a picture off a big fat round head on the chalkboard with eyes and a nose and a mouth without a body, but a finger attached to it. That was back in the 1970s.
It is no longer a laughing matter. All he said then has become truth.
Rod “Twilight Zone” Serling, a master storyteller of his time, was extremely good at predicting the future.
He saw the direction the world was headed in long before it ever happened. Many of his stories were dedicated to the building of robots-robotics-who would be at the beck’n’call of white people still too lazy to labor in order to feed themselves. They were so dead-set against working and laborious and menial tasks that if they could no longer force human beings to do their bidding, they would build an artificial human being to take their place.
Think about it.
Robots have no feelings that are authentic to their own nature. Robots require only a one-time payment of some amount determined by its sellers, and no regular paychecks. Robots do not have to be fed, nor do they need more than a small inexpensive tune-up from time to time. They do not require healthcare and they are housed where their masters are housed–not in a room or house of their own, but in a box or a broom closet. They take up very little space, and all they do is what they are told to do, when they are told. They can then store themselves away until they are needed or summoned again.
Recent developments have even found them harking back to the slavery days when they used little Black slave girls, teens, and even older married Black women as sex objects. The most recent advances in robotics are aimed at forming “sex-bots” whose only reason for existence is to physically pleasure the Master at his or her will. On-demand sexology, with no possibility of causing a pregnancy or of contracting STDs or other human sex diseases.
Onward and Upward
Back in the day, in the late 1980s and early 1990s and long before there was an AOL.com, I made a strong attempt to tell Black folks in Atlanta that this Internet-thingy was going to be huge.
Before it was saturated with SALES SALES SALES, and more SALES, I made an effort to harness what was available at the time and turn it into something that WE could use to bring us together and take us higher than the low-level plane that we were existing on at the time. I envisioned hundreds of thousands of Black folks, especially my friends and family members, becoming millionaires as a result of this thing; not just dreaming about it, but doing it.
And when I saw it headed straight toward us blazing like a burning meteor on a human collision course, there was no “dotcom” boom. There was no such thing as a .com anything at the time, it was just a tool for artificially communicating with others who claimed to be just as real as I. The reaction I got from my people was, needless to say, as of one who had said that the moon really and truly was made of green cheese.
I mentioned something about “e-mail” and asked if they knew what it was, and the only thing I got from Black folk were stares, like I was just another nutcase talking about way out there stuff that didn’t exist. Yet there and again, I was sitting in front of a green screen with a humpback whale of a cathode ray tube (CRT), talking to other people from “inner outerspace.” Green cheese moon people, I suppose, who claimed to be from places like my birth hometown of Denver, Co., who typed to me cryptic lines of vanilla-colored messages across that green screen to say “Hello. Who are you, where are you and what are you doing?” Somehow (play spooky “TZ” music here) … these other worldly beings would receive my answers and then answer my questions back.
Then there were boxes and windows, and electronic letters, and suddenly, folks started knowing what I meant, though they never acknowledged that I told them it was coming. It was only on the words of a white man that they started to believe.
By the time Black folks caught on, it was too late for us to do anything with it. These were the things that made Bill Gates a billionaire — figuring out how to make this information more accessible with pictures rather than codes, and then the followers at Google (‘googol’), who ran right behind Gates with the world’s most famous search engine that has not been bested yet.
We used to say that windows would “dumb the world down,” me and my white friends who were “online” and talking to these netherworld aliens from other states, because it was meant to keep people from having to learn how to code and how to use keyboards to communicate rather than those new-fangled “mice-movers”. It was meant to make lazy people lazier, and we hated it at first.
Not much later, while still living in Atlanta, I met with a group of our People who claimed to be on to the “next biggest thing” in the network marketing industry, whatever it was they were into at the time. I wanted to talk to them about the Internet and Vice-President Al Gore’s initiatives to make this thing that belonged to the federal government but was paid for with our tax dollars available to all of us.
Gore had “invented” the way to all-world access to the Internet. If you don’t know the politics of it, “they” laughed at Gore when he claimed that he had “invented” the Internet, when he actually meant that he opened the door and paved the way for the household PC to give us all everyday access to what was already there.
On hindsight, the government saw it as a way to cut down the costs and trouble of spying on American citizens by having us to bring them the information that they had had to dig for in times past. No longer do they have to investigate anything except the information that we are already giving them. We answer their questions before they get a chance to ask them. [Daniel 12:4]
I wanted to talk about the Joshua Generation (us) and the necessity of Black America to do everything we could and use any means available to pull the Black communities back together. I wanted to discuss how ‘they’ had made it easier by making it so that we could talk to one another by means of Internet access. For me, the late 1980s and early 1990s was in-gathering time for the families of Black America, and the unfortunate news is that no one believed me. I hope they do now that white folks have made them not only listen, but conform to it.
Our need to network market was birthed back during that off-season of Blackness when we mostly wore borrowed suits and carried empty briefcases to white folks multi-level marketing schematic meetings to see if some of their perceived riches would bleed off on us through some magic potions. The potions were related to something we would say or do that would make it happen, some “secret” of the universe that would make things happen for us even if we didn’t earn it and could not afford it. We especially learned from them to use ‘faith verbiage’ from The Bible to automate it and “speak it into existence”. We laid hands on stuff and commanded it to come to us, dang the fact that we didn’t have the income or savings to substantiate paying for these things.
I say they had ‘perceived riches’ at these network meetings because these white folks would simply pretend to have boatloads of money just to get our attention and our cash, and many of us actually fell for it and gave it to them and that’s how they got rich. Many of them obtained wealth from those of us who believed in what was not there–easy roads to fast wealth–and they got it from those of us who refused to believe in and use what was there. Technology. The future of advancing the world into new states and stages of living and thinking. Not long after that, the Internet became SATURATED. They began to market everything using the Internet, even network marketing companies that sold energy drinks filled with poisonous sugars.
I knew that if we could really speak things into existence because we are “little gods” like the Great God who created the universe spoke and it was so, then diseases would disappear, dead loved ones would reappear on Earth, and all of us would be millionaires. I also knew that the moment absolutely everyone becomes a millionaire, we are all dead broke–because there are no more poor people with which to compare ourselves.
Without reparations, which we were long overdue and still are, many of us thought we would get rich by rubbing shoulders with those who had it like that. No broke person ever got rich hanging around other broke people, right? Strike. The only way rich people get rich is hanging around with folks who THINK they are broke and will do just about anything to get rich. Poorer and the poorest people are the biggest ATMS the world has ever known.
The ATM Bible Scriptures
In any case, I watched as the scripts of The Holy Bible itself, back in the 1980s, was moved along into a cash ATM machine called The Prosperity Gospel; and that by a pack of ravenous wolves who termed themselves “evangelical judaeo-christians.” It came from the gnostic gospels of “thinking positive” and the superstitious thought processes of folks like Frances Scovel Shinn (The Game of Life and How to Play It).
It was important to strike down any prior beliefs that would cause the world to see another Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. come out of the Black church and to use the leverage of separation of church and state to impact it. Not for white people, what they did in government under White Jesus would be called a “faith-based initiative,” but anything Black people did or said would not be “faith-based,” but would be hit with threats to take away their religious affinity tax status if they did not comply. As we know, the removal of non-profit tax status for Black churches was a congregation killer, especially since they were already struggling.
The preachers of pre-Hollywood got big fancy churches and expensive cars and clothes and gaudy houses on bank credit and then were flipped into the pulpit to distract Black people from Revolution by showing them material gain and telling them that they, too, could be rich … if they would only “believe.”
Believe what, though? Rev. Ike, White Jesus, what?
I thought it odd that their own self-derived ‘white Jesus’ did not mind being yelled and stomped on or even subjected to christian temper tantrums demanding that He MEET THEIR DEMANDS BECAUSE HE PROMISED THROUGH THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT THAT HE WOULD GIVE US THINGS, STUFF, POWER…cattles on thousands of hills, et al, because He owned it all and it was our right and just due as Kingdom People who adhered to our belief in Him and in the gospel of salvation. [Psalm 50:7-15] Never mind that they already had already auspiciously built an entire nation and white supremacist nations, off chattel from a thousand hills, and it still wasn’t enough.
It was pure unmitigated greed using superstitious beliefs that drove them off into this non-sensical prosperity gospel. Then when all of this yelling at God and making demands in the form of religious tantrums doesn’t work, “sour grapes syndrome” prevails in this abbreviated and demented form of christianity.
This belief system did not come from God, it came from Greek and Roman mythologies steeped in nothing more than superstition. They did not speak of a real God Almighty, but of a make-believe one. Those who demanded “stuff” from God also used scripture as if it was a magic talisman. They used gospel as if it was a slot machine in Vegas, and then told Black folks that they could not righteously consider that whites owed US Black folk reparations for the actual free use of our labor for nearly four centuries when we had this “god” that wouldn’t even respond to our pleas not to be subjugated to white supremacy. And even sadder still were the many Black folks who fell into this magical evangelical schematic by making the same demands on this same make-believe white “god” that they often referred to as “Jesus.”
I discuss this in detail in my book “The Hearts of Black Folk,” (p. 2010), which was written in the spirit of W.E.B. DuBois’ “The Souls of Black Folk.” The color-line is, and was still there; but Black people had not sought to destroy it. We had only sought to assimilate and absorb it, thereby causing even more problems for ourselves than white people could shake a stick at.
These Black evangelicals, as their white counterparts had done, began telling He Who Created The World that He had no choice but to honor His Abrahamic Covenant promises on demand and on our own timetable, while we are still young enough to enjoy it. In so doing, the entire book of Ecclesiastes that talks about “casting your bread on the waters” because you do not know whether it’s going to return to you or not (Chapter 11), after ‘many’ days was overlooked and ignored.
As a matter of fact, whenever I would try to minister to others from the book of Ecclesiastes to try to stave off some of this erroneous preaching and thinking, I heard things like the “Preacher of Ecclesiastes” was depressed and a negative thinker. Say whaaaat? No, The Preacher was not depressed and thinking negatively, he was a pure’de clear-eyed realist, and some have even said that “The Preacher” was likely King Solomon The Wise himself.
Now that some of these “saved” folks are coming back to their senses, they are starting to see it for what it really is, or was.
They had shadowed the behaviors of whites who threw high-spirited prayer-like temper tantrums on some god that they made up for themselves. They then used the scriptures and the Word of God as they would netherworld chanting or conjuring. They said things like we “can speak things into existence” and that the universe had “secrets” that we could unlock and use to get MORE stuff and be happier and wealthier and wiser. Yet, the book of Deuteronomy declares that “the secret things belong to the Lord.” In other words, we might try minding our own business, which we barely had control of; than to try minding God’s.
At some point, folks even started to victim-shame victims into believing, that because they gone through some kind of variation of their own personal hell, that they had somehow brought it upon themselves. One woman’s teachings had to do with how even JonBenet Ramsay had willed murder to herself because her “thought life” had conjured it up. And yes, according to their theories of how the world works, you are poor and Black and racially discriminated against because you willed it to be so long before you were born. And we believed this methodological BS.
All of this, as we progress in this series, is going to become clearer.
No, we, the Joshua Generation, are not our grandparents either. We were the first to learn how to “eff” something up in this racist world in which we barely subsist, but we didn’t learn to fall all out in the streets any kind of way acting crazy while doing it. We learned it through the faith of our fathers.
There is a need in the Book of Genesis for us to understand how it is that man came to try to believe himself AS a god rather than being satisfied with being made IN THE IMAGE of God. In the book of Exodus, we begin to see the parallels of our very first dispensation of slavery under Egyptian rule and how this history has followed us throughout the history of the world since that time. Indeed, Black history is not AMERICAN history, it is world history.
It is the story of the beginnings of humanity on Earth. As humanity progressed, and around some 250,000 years later, white people appeared on the Earth. After being taught by those who spawned them, they began to try to explain and justify their social and economic domination along racial lines and when we looked around, everything they said appeared to be true.
There are two mainstream schools of thought as to how whites got here, but suffice it to say that they even acknowledge that their own beginnings on Earth are no more than 8,000 to 12,00 years old. There is, however, scientific AND scriptural evidence that Black people were already here when they got here, more than 200,000 years before they got here.
The “Out of Africa” Genome is not a fallacy, it is a fact.
There is a reason that Black people have no specific place in time where they can place their earliest beginnings, they were here from the very BEGINNING of the creation of time. The Genesis of humanity (MANKIND) came out of Black people as far back as Pishon, Gihon, the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, and then subsequently around Egypt in the Nile River Valley itself.
Considering the supremacist control mechanisms in place now, the only thing left for them – now that the truth about the origins and history of Black people is coming forth and spilling out and busting at the seams – is to swear up and down that there really is no God.
Those who don’t fall completely by the wayside into atheism usually end up taking what they have left and turning it into an example of what the blessings of God look like, especially on white skin.
“We’re smarter, we have more, we are the pioneers of inroads into technologically sound and vast empires around the world; therefore, if there is a God, He has absolutely created white people as mentally and intellectually superior,” and here is the proof of that.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, world dominance and white superiority. [I Corinthians 1. Daniel 12]
The temper tantrum syndrome: Because we didn’t get what we wanted, when we wanted it, the way we wanted it, there is no God; because if there was, He would have heard and acquiesced to our demands. He don’t hear too good about owning up to His own Covenant promises that He gave Abraham.
Yes. He does hear. And He hears very well. Now, as it stands, just waking up in the morning with breath in our bodies isn’t good enough.
The inability to understand mercy, grace, gratitude, and thankfulness is not as important as showing off our “stuff,” our blessings of material ‘things’, to one another. Our Black Lives are the epitome of what it means to live for doing nothing more than showing off our white folkses messes to one another.
God created Man, Man created white man, and white man got shoved up man’s butt because Man had this inane need to BECOME and replace God rather than be satisfied with being made In His Image. And the world fell apart, on our watch.
God didn’t make this world a “race” world, He created what He created the way He created it (Genesis 2) and that Man was a Black man who was derived from the “dust” or the dirt of the ground. When whites came along many centuries later, they turned the goodness and grace of God into a matter of skin coloring and race and the manifest destiny of white-skinned peoples, thus turning on their own benefactors. It is something they still do to this very day.
Many of us have yet to hear and to understand that Abraham’s Covenant promise must manifest first in the House of Judah and then in Israel before it can be disbursed to the Gentiles of the world, who come in all colors and ethnicities. Yes, there is such a thing as a Black Gentile-they who do not come from the House of Judah, a Black man BY BIRTH who walked this world before a white face existed.
We love dropping names, bragging about our credentials that don’t mean much of anything to the white people in control of everything because they are manifested on the wrong color of skin. Even worse, this prideful race-credentialing doesn’t even mean anything to the few token Blacks that they use to “prove” they are not racist.
All it is used for is another way to divide & conquer, to bubble up and then merge sort.
We are “merge sorted” by the machine, and stacked in a certain order so they can further their studies and continue the socioeconomic “Matrix” continuum using the mathematical calculations of a very dark-skinned original indigenous people who lived in Arabic lands.
This was how it became so easy to find and fund just one more sucker feeder vein into the mainline Black economy, as it was meant to keep white supremacy alive and the rest of us subjected to it. Even other less rich whites have become subjected to the white supremacy matrix that keeps us at bay, because they can’t make it work if some of their own are not caught up in the wash.
They have no more time left to make it exclusively Black and white, because that has not worked for them in the past. We may find it easy to laugh that so many whites are now getting caught up in the psychological crap of their own people, because as long as it was “just us,” they found no cause for societal alarm.
When racism did its perfected damage and then aimed its sights at the “American middle class,” that’s when all hell broke loose.
When it was just Black folk being attacked and lambasted, it wasn’t a problem. When they bled us out and went to destroy the middle class people of America in their social conquests, that brought a Black man to the forefront as President of the United States to save their white asses from what they didn’t care about when Black folk were the only targeted population. As if we had not already fed them and kept them alive from the moment they set foot in this nation and even before then, they decided to find yet another way to take our hard-earned earnings, even if they had to topple some of their own race to do it.
Actuarial science says that the majority of us will not live long enough to do anything more with a home or vehicle than to stay in eternal debt, turned over every five to seven years and replenished. Truth told, it should take no more than 10 years TOTAL to completely own that house and that car, if that.
They leveraged our actuarial insured self-worth and determined cash value, our “creditworthiness,” to their own advantage, knowing that we had to give up nearly all of our cash just to GET the credit in order to stub out the bloated value of these material items.
Once we signed ourselves over to the devil (“fugazi”-style) in creditworthiness, the cash was automatically gone and the cash was really all they needed in the first place. It validated their economic structure in ways that promises on worthless sheets of white paper never could. To this day, credit is known as “A,” “B” and “C”-paper … Anglo, Black and Colored. “D”-paper credit is anything and everything else that is not used to sustain white supremacy in its current technologically-sophisticated format.
The ownership of these material things and that “stuff” are now nothing more than a bragging point for Black folk, a show-off model that does not contribute to our economic sustainability, or our communal bottom line, simply because the money has to LEAVE our control in order to have those material things.
After the network marketers and corporate types (and corporations are nothing more than super-sized pyramid schemes) had squeezed all the blood out of the white turnips, the other vein they had to find and tap was amongst the hungriest and most desperate people in the nation for economic wealth … the ever economically disenfranchised Blacks.
When their own kith and kin stopped believing in the “magic bullet” of easy and fast riches in networking, they came to us. It never occurred to many of us that the only way to get that rich was to do the same thing they did, and make others believe it, too. But some of us did catch on, and this spawned the likes of a T.D. Jakes, and a Creflo Dollar and others like them in the BLACK COMMUNITY who had popped off from the earlier Black&Saved church dynasty moguls like “Rev. Ike” (Frederick J. Eikrenkoetter) and Frederick KC Price out of Crenshaw in Los Angeles, CA.
NOTE: To his credit, Rev. Dr. Price, a prosperity gospel evangelist of his own right, at some point figured out that Black people had become the economic victims rather than the economically empowered when he started inviting Claude Anderson, of POWERNOMICS, to minister from his pulpit. And when he did, they launched a full-scale media attack against that ministry. They do not attack Black churches who do not seek to empower Black people, only the ones who do.
As we move into Genesis and work our way through to the Book of Revelation in this series, we will see what the Bible really teaches us about who we are, and about how all of these things came to be, and we will see what will be the end of these things.
We will also begin to understand why it is expedient, as white people begin to come to terms with and get a grip on the fact that they are not the foundation of godliness or righteousness on the Earth, nor are they the original creation of God, that they must resort to atheism in order to guarantee that white supremacy will remain as it is forever.
You have listened enough to white lies, begin to listen to your own People for a change we can all believe in. We are not all crazy, nor are we as stupid as many whites would have us believe.
The Son of God cannot be a Black Man; because there is no God. {30 C.E. – 33 C.E.}
