Uangalifu: Secure your Life, Wealth and Health

This is my latest book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ6GQW6P

It rejects profit over people and proletariat over bourgeoisie.

It says instead Security over Insecurity and Necessities (Securities) over Luxuries.

It's an idea that'll help you to understand geopolitics, relationships, economics and development.

Are black people God's chosen people?

Yes. The Most-High/God is the essence of all living things, and she is the universe, Earth, and nature HERSELF. 69% of the universe is dark energy, 26% of the universe is dark matter, and 5% of the universe is made up of familiar atomic matter. The Carbon Atom is Black, and the Carbon Atom is composed of 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. So therefore, 666 is not an “evil” or “demonic” number. 666 equals 9, 6+6+6=18, 1+8=9. We are normally in our mother’s womb for 9 months. 9 is the only number that will always equal itself when multiplied. 9 is really the highest number in Supreme Mathematics, because 9 is the last digit, everything after 9 are multi-digits. Black/Melanated people have a natural curl in their hair that shapes like the number “9”, Black/Melanated people are called 9-ether beings, and the hair of Black/Melanated people is spiral-like in appearance like the Milky Way galaxy, which shows our direct link to the universe. Melanin is Black or Brown. Did you know humans have their own form of ”photosynthesis”? Plants have chlorophyll, whilst mammals have melanin. Chlorophyll in plants, and melanin in mammals are like cousins. The human form of photosynthesis is melanogenesis. Sunlight is essential to the production of both photosynthesis and melanogenesis. This proves that all living things are linked to one other. Melanin plays a role in hair color, skin color, eye color, and many other phenotypical AND genotypical traits. The phenotypical traits with the most melanin are dominant genes, and the phenotypical traits with less melanin are recessive genes (In science darker skin, brown eyes, curly hair, black hair, brown hair, broader noses, and fuller lips are dominant genes. Lighter skin, blue eyes, straight hair, blonde hair, red hair, narrower noses, and thinner lips are recessive genes.). The ovum of the female and the sperm of the male are both layered with melanin. Which means that when the sperm penetrates the ovum there is a melanin explosion, and this helps to formulate the fetus. So the fetus is basically coated with a melanin substance. The oldest human fossils are in Africa(Alkebu-lan), such as the Omo remains. The Garden of Eden was in Africa(Alkebu-lan), and Africa(Alkebu-lan) is still the Garden of Eden. Africa(Alkebu-lan) is the Garden of Eden because the oldest human remains can be found in Africa(Alkebu-lan), so Africa(Alkebu-lan) is the origin of human-beings/homo-sapiens. Although, the “Garden of Eden” is a biblical term the only REALISTIC/SCIENTIFIC “Garden of Eden” is Africa(Alkebu-lan). In science there’s Mitochondrial-Eve(the female primogenitor) and Y-Chromosomal Adam(the male primogenitor), and they are BOTH said to have resided/originated from Africa(Alkebu-lan), and both of them were ALSO black/melanated people. Black/Melanated people aren’t just stronger genetically, but also spiritually. Black/Melanated people are naturally a spiritual people, not religious, spirituality came before religion. Spirituality is ancient, and religion is new. I’ve never heard of Spiritualists pushing their spirituality on people, but I’ve heard of Religious people forcing their religion on people (now we see who’s really “demonic”). The other races of humans are recessive and came much later, and they came from different mutations and adaptations.

The White Beauty Standard & The Defeminization of The Black Woman

Nobody can tell me that “White” is what’s beautiful when White people had literally put an iron muzzle over the face of Escrava Anastacia because of her beauty, and had Sarah Baartman put on display and made White women envious and wanting to imitate her body, and the Kardashians imitating Black women such as wearing braids. The Black Woman is the original woman, and it was the Black Woman’s Womb that created the entire human species, and it was the Black Woman’s vagina that gave birth to the entire human species. Human life would not exist if it was not for the Black Woman and her womb. So therefore, her very existence is very salient and sacred, and she should be treated as such. Instead of following these misogynistic religions and worshipping their male prophets/deities, you SHOULD BE worshipping the Original Goddess which is the Black Woman (Womb-Man). This is why during slavery white mistresses forced Black mothers to breastfeed White babies, because everything in/on Black Women are dominant and stronger over that of any other race of women, and this includes the nutrients in their breast-milk. Black Women are the REAL messiahs. Society is trying to spread lives and defeminize the Black Queens, and masculinize them so our Black/Melanated Queens can’t tap into their Black/Melanated Goddess divine femininity. Society LOVES to breakdown the Black community. The most logical explanation for the stereotypes, oppression, and defeminization of Black Women are because of the jealousy people have for Black Women.

Were the Egyptians black?

CLAIM: The first Egyptians were black people.

EVIDENCE: All of the tribes native to the Nile(Nilotic people) are black/melanated people & the region we know as “Egypt”(Kemet/Ta-Meri) is very hot, and SCIENTIFICALLY speaking humans didn’t develop paler skin until they left Africa(Alkebu-lan), and “Egypt”(Kemet/Ta-Meri) is in Africa(Alkebu-lan). Also, it is generally believed that the A-Group culture of Nubia/Ta-Seti predates the emergence of ancient “Egypt”(Kemet/Ta-Meri). The A-Group culture emerged around 3800 BC, predating the Early Dynastic period of “Egypt”(Kemet/Ta-Meri) which began around 3100 BC. The A-Group culture developed in the region of modern-day Sudan, in the area known as Lower Nubia, and had its own distinct characteristics and material culture. Ancient “Egypt”(Kemet/Ta-Meri) and ancient Nubia/Ta-Seti have a fascinating interconnected history, with influences and interactions that span thousands of years. It wasn’t just “Egypt’s”(Kemet’s/Ta-Meri’s) 25th dynasty that had a Nubian/Ta-Setian presence, and for those who don’t know “Egypt’s”(Kemet’s/Ta-Meri’s) 25th dynasty was the dynasty that was ruled by the Kushite empire, which was a Nubian/Ta-Setian empire. And sources from outside accounts, such as Herodotus whom described the “Egyptians”(Kemetyu/Kemites/Ta-Merians) as having “black and curly” hair and “black” skin, and as Aethiopians(which was a term used by many Greeks to refer to black/melanated people, and it meant the “Burnt-Faced Ones”) prove black/melanated people to be “Egyptians”(Kemites/Ta-Merians). Also, on King Narmers palette(the first ruler of Kemet’s/Ta-Meri’s 1st dynasty), there are short-statured people depicted beside him, and these people were the Twa/Anu people, which also proves a black presence in ancient “Egypt”(Kemet/Ta-Meri).

(EDIT: For educational purposes, ancient Nubia/Ta-Seti created more pyramids than ancient Kemet/Ta-Meri.)

Interracial and biracial in commercials

I have nothing against the beige offspring of interracial relationships so just wanted to get that out of the way. One thing I do have an issue with is how such a minority of people globally is disproportionately over represented in mass media. There are other examples of mass media engaging in this social engineering propaganda which are not race based.

Black women with anxiety in social settings

Hello All! My name is Janee’ Henderson. I am a fifth-year counseling psychology doctoral student at the University of Missouri – Kansas City. I am currently conducting a research study seeking to explore Black women’s experiences of social anxiety and any unique factors that might contribute to Black women’s experiences. To provide more clarity, symptoms of social anxiety include fear of situations in which you may be judged negatively, worrying about embarrassing or humiliating yourself, intense fear of interacting or talking with strangers, avoiding doing things or speaking to people out of fear, or expecting the worst possible consequences from a negative experience during a social situation.

In order to participate, you must: (1) be 18 years or older, (2) identify as an African American/Black woman, (3) currently live in the United States, (4) and report experiencing symptoms associated with social anxiety. Participants in the study will be asked to complete an online survey that should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

If you are interested in participating in this study, please click the link below:

Minority Owned Hotels & Restaurants Listings

Where it makes sense and I have the opportunities available, I would like to start patronizing minority owned hotels and restaurants more when I travel for personal and business reasons. Are there groups or sites that help individuals find these opportunities in cities or areas we do not call home? TIA!

The Slap Felt Around the World: Who's to Blame?

I felt like I needed to write about this altercation, there are just so many different social pressures at play! I like the quote Will Smith recited from Denzel Washington during his acceptance speech at the Oscars last night. The media is going to go insane over this one. "Will Smith: Hollywood's Black Golden Boy puts a stain on his near perfect reputation."👌🏾🤦🏾‍♀️🙄 I definitely don't think he should have done it, but I get why he did it. He shouldn't have, but 🤷🏾‍♀️ it's done. The media has had a field day making fun of this couple and their marriage for years, and one of them has finally put their foot down. Will apologized, and Chris Rock is handling it like a real G ✊🏾👏🏾🙌🏾.

I saw a meme earlier. Same face, two different expressions, side by side. One was, "Will Smith laughing at the joke" the other, "Will Smith after seeing Jada's face"...and that is exactly what crossed my mind after watching the footage from last night! Will was laughing, and then he looked over and saw his woman and she was not pleased 😬. His reaction was immediate and chivalrous. For that, I applaud Will. As far as every black woman around the world is concerned, he did the right thing! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 In my personal opinion, the joke was out of line. When you are dogging on a serious health issue for a cheap laugh you deserve to be slapped (for those that don't know, Jada is suffering from Alopecia, which causes hair loss).

However, Jada could have transcended her ego in that moment. Jada could have decided not to react, but to instead just let it go 🙏🏾...That is the first lesson we all must learn from this moment. If she had made the choice not to react at all, and let the momentary anger go to laugh it off instead, none of this would have played out the way that it did. Except it isn't that simple for a black woman in the United States, and Jada knows that. If a white woman in that crowd was bravely living with a life-altering illness, I doubt she would have been picked on in the same way. What's worse is that it was a black comedian poking fun. Chris Rock probably felt like there was a safe space for him to make jokes with the Smith family, and I sympathize with him there. So where do you draw the line? Is it better to transcend ego, or demand the respect you deserve when disrespected in society? As a black woman in society, Jada had to demand that respect. So I don't blame her for that, I applaud her as well 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

There can be some blame laid on Chris Rock's shoulders. Notice, I use the word some here. Now in order to have a nuanced conversation, we all must remember that Chris Rock is a comedian. If they were all sitting there to attend a Comedy Show and watch Chris Rock perform an hour of stand-up then that's a different story entirely, but they were there to attend the Oscars. Jokes at an award show should be about respective bodies of work, not personal. Jada was there to support her husband last night, she wasn't up for any awards herself. So in my opinion Will was within his rights when he told Chris to keep his wife's name out of it.

I speak for the historically disenfranchised when I say I stand with Jada, Will and Chris! I hope this controversy doesn't sow discord between them. The issues at play are larger than the individuals involved, and we are all stronger together. Since everyone wants to play the blame game, well then ultimately, I blame society...for demanding cheap jokes at another's expense.
