i define my own self.

there may well come a time when we have to go up against these devils. it could be a local thing or it could be something bigger than that. i have done that in the past and it can come again.

when the deal go down, what side will you fight on? that is how i define blackness.

we do not need folk who will sit around confused when the fight starts. we need people who know where they stand.

those are the pure black people.
The realist post I ever read!

Ain't nothin' like a "Black" man with his head and heart straight.

God's U R!

IMO, we are a "looser group" because our roots are either tampered or non-existent. When you don't know your source, who you are, who your ancestors are, where you've come from, your role in this world, then you'll lay down and mate with anything.

I am an Edenic (Afrikan) woman, no matter how many times my mothers were raped! As James so eloquently said, I am not defined by this. I possess the power to define! and I have defined and aligned myself with Truth. I am the fruit of the Children of God. It would be an insult to the Creator to procreate with the very people he ordered to enslave me for what my forefathers did centuries ago.

It doesn't make sense.

I am very CLEAR that the only True and Complete Reflection of me is my OWN!

We must understand our true and infinite power as the Children of Yah (God). I don't dispute or doubt that those three "mixed" friends of yours had your back. As well as I don't dispute that a white man/woman could contribute to our wellness, i.e. hire you and pay you a decent wage, pull over on the side of the road to help you with your flat tire, rent you an apartment when your credit is clearly jacked, or any other "act of kindness".

White folk, et al, who are in tune with who they are in relation to who WE are, understand that they are in the midst of chosen children of Yah. It is their intrinsic desire to yield to the Will of Yah (God). This is the order.

Beyond what all you have listed as far as material things, they were down when I would encounter white people and my own people alike that I had problems with. As well as, being able to grow as far as knowledge. And that says alot about people in my book. One of them, has an ill guilt trip because some things that happened but thats something else to that (lol....female, of course, but its all love). I appreciate the gems you drop of spirituality though. Good stuff.

Maybe, I should keep my personal view on this to myself this time around. This might end turning into a different topic.

Thank you for the positive feedback regarding what I attempt to share spiritually as I am but a baby and learning and growing everyday... I must give thanks to my teachers (one of which is my significant other) as they are the Source (in physical form)!

As far as your considering keeping your perspective to yourself - please dont do that. We are all here to learn from one another. Your position is just as much as a contribution than the popular thought on this thread.

If you think it'll get off topic, with respect to the thread starter and the rules of AC, let's just take it to another thread... but don't cease, suppress or digress!

Let's continue to Build!

being mixed does not make you a bad person. it just makes you mixed.

... catching up on the haps up in here ... and wow!!!! The Queens are coming correct!!! Making a Black man proud as hell. In a world filled with arrows, booty clips, and ignorance, it nourishes the soul to here that there are original women who prefer original men.

Cool!

Absolutely!!! Toda (Thank you) for the recognition... We can only be as Divine as you (original men). So thank you for being the Path, the Way and the Light... We are merely reflections of the Sons of Yah!
