Kwanzaa- Kalagenesis defined

It has been over 40 years since the Honorable Dr Maulana Karenga gave to the Pan African world a new vision he called Kwanzaa.Now Kwanzaa has been ridiculed,clowned upon,slandered, hated and even banned.Now the same people have no problem with a ghetto pimp,gangster culture.But these simple little principles were suck a threat.Now there are some issues with Kwanzaa that I have always felt uneasy about.First is it was always presented like the Nation of Islam's program as a reform or rehabilitation movement.In other words you needed some guidance and structure and here it is.So from the beginning mostly brothers and sisters from the bottom of Black America were attracted to it.We were told it was a connection to Africa and its greatness which turned out to be false.Now Kwanzaa ended up being another failed movement going to the cemetery with other failed nationalist movements because of thick headed leaders wrapped up in their own twisted narrow view of the world could not see the writing on the wall.
Where Kwanzaa Failed
Kwanzaa failed in part because it tried to play a game the White man has already mastered.You cannot just reverse the racism and supremecy without having power to back it up.In other words why is Kwanzaa only seven days when we have 365 days in the year?Are we suppose to coon,shuck,and buck dance for the White man 348 days and be good slave and go back to the slave fields the rest?You see the reality of living in a racist white dominated country,is such that the dominate culture will not tolerate dissension from the norm.In other words White people believe their names you proudly wear like good slaves Washington,Cosby,Huxtible,Baker,Brown,Miller,Parker you had better keep if you know what is good for you.If the majority of African Americans never parted from their slave owners names,what made Dr Karenga think they would part with the White man's culture?In this regard we are not to far removed from chattel slavery.Which was about ownership.When you wear the slave owners name you technically are still a slave.It is my quest to explain why we see the situation in our community getting worse.No amount of money can solve these problems.
Dr Karenga and Julius Nyrere of Tanzania were staunch Socialist
Now Socialism has some good points same as capitalism.The problem is neither is good for Africa.Other developing countries like Japan looked at capitalism and socialism and borrowed from both and kept the guiding cultural principles of their culture and heritage.They knew these systems were designed in the West and would not work in Asia and they were right.This is why it is hard to tell if China is communist or capitalist right now.Dr Nyrere of Tanzania nearly destroyed his farming system implementing his Kwanzaa or African Socialism system.The people rebelled and land was taken and people were forced to work on the hated communal farms instead of their own plots of land.So to mention Kwanzaa in many parts of Africa is to invite trouble.The same thing happened here in America we had in the 70's and 80's some good but misguided brothers starting cooperative businesses in the hood.All failed miserably.Simple human individuality,ambition and apathy caused the Kwanzaa business ideas to fail.The solution to modernize Kwanzaa for the new age.For the new African century.
Old Kwanzaa compared to the New Kwanzaa Nguzo Saba Seven Principles
OLD
1 Umoja-Unity
2Kujichagulia-self determination-being able to speak for ourself and define ourself
3Ujima-collective work and responsibility-To build and maintain a community together make anyone's problem everyone's problem and share in all work.
4Ujamaa-cooperative economics-to build and maintain our own stores,shops and businesses and share in the profits together.
5Nia-Purpose-To make it a vocation to build and maintain our community and to restore our people to greatness
6Kuumba-Creativity
7Imani-Faith To believe with all our hearts in God and our faith
Those are the sacred seven Principles of Kwanzaa as told by Dr Karenga.Now I am going to humbly give my suggestion on how to update and make Kwanzaa a dynamic force again.
1Unity is on point
2 Kujichagulia self determination should be at this late date about dual citizenship and and having our community more international.
3Ujima I believe businesses,social groups,employers,teachers,bosses, should use this as a motivation for subordinates to work harder and be more productive.The old way no one is in charge we imagine a world where all responsibility is equally shared.This is socialist fantasy.
4Ujamaa I believe this is the most important redefinition of Kwanzaa.I believe exceptional people should build with like wise people.Business people need to come together and create wealth.They cannot sit around worrying about making unproductive people envious.We need to create a culture of business to business rituals rites and customs.Also societies and fraternities like the Japanese Ziabatsui clans of old.
5Nia-Purpose-Purpose should be what is our constitution,what is our collective goal?Is is begging for civil rights or is it one day being free in a nation of our own.
6Kuumba Creativity should be the artist,musicians,writers,sculptors,designers ect trying to uplife and show the beauty of our people and culture.
7Imani Our faith should be our community commitment to God.And righteousness should be our guiding principles in all decision making.

Snoop Dogs says gangs are good

What the heck is going on?In the age of Obama why are rappers still trying to promote negativity in this new age?The community has spoken, people are tired of the ignorance senseless violence being given a sanctuary in a subculture.50 cent's recent album flop shows the direction the world is heading.Gangster rap is dead on arrival.The record execs are now going to lose money pushing this garbage.

Color Consciousness among people of Color

If your yellow you are mello,if you are light you are alright,happen to be brown stick around but if you are black GET THE HELL BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now we know the history of Jim Crow and color politics from the plantation system White slavers used to maintain a White skin hierarchy in the new world.In ancient times there is no evidence of White skin domination pro quo or as an established order.Kings,tyrants,rulers,noblemen came from every part of the known world and each region have civilized people and barbarians.So the notion of attaching greatness by looks was not done.For example just because the Romans and Greeks were highly civilized and they were White skinned.That did not mean the Scandinavian countries to the North were.The Romans regarded the Germons and Britons during the Roman Empire around 200 BC as savages unworthy of being part of the Roman Empire.At the same time Black scholars from Kush,Ethiopia,Persia,West Africa came to Rome owned white skinned slaves and got Roman citizenship.Color as a basis for degrading someone is a byproduct of the modern world.
Slavery caused racism and self hate
Slavery according to most scholars was the greatest cause of racism towards African peoples.Racism comes from being helpless,needy and powerless.The victim does not have the means to fight his oppressor because the oppressor makes the victim a prisoner in his own skin.The society as a rule is taught to degrade the person with the dark skin in order to maintain the social structure.This matrix is then even enforced among the victims themselves.Among most people of color who have gone through slavery,colonialism there is a legacy of oppression left behind.It is called colorism.The biggest victims of this has been the sub continent of India and the Dominican Republic.The reason I say this is because unlike in the US where African Americans do practice colorism it is a sickness due to living in a White society,there is no real evidence of colorism in South Africa.Now the two former countries voluntarily practice colorism.In India having a fair complexion is held in high regard.Having a dark complexion is shunned.
Commercials like this would never air in the US because of the backlash.The problem is people underestimate the effects of living in a White dominated culture that glorifies the White man as mighty as a noble.At the same time Black men are seen as criminals,buffoons,clowns,simpletons.The weak who don't know their history value light skin.It puts them near to the White man.This is why when we have family reunions the light skinned people get the most attention.Everyone wants to know their opinion more than everyone else.This happens in most of our households so lets stop denying it.We need to exemplify African beauty as equal or better than anyone else.Lets hope we dont have too many Sammy Sossas coming out of the closet

The New Confederacy.Still racist and backward

Here in the modern United States where we have witnessed so many great things as well as tragedies we still have backward thinking people who don't want to progress.Now before you start picking on Billy Bob inbred,I am not just talking about him.All over the country people particularly in the South are talking about how they want their country back.Back from what we may ask?The clues can be found in the number of militia groups,hate groups,birthers,tea baggers,ect who are openly opposed the the Presidency of Barack Obama.Ignorance combined with paranoia,about having a Black family in the White House is bringing attitudes many told us was in the past back to the present.The number of racist groups who hide their racism under the guise of being concerned about spending,this is the racist belief that black men are irresponsible and out to destroy the White man's civilization.Now there are millions of non White people living in the Southeastern United States,why do so many White people think they can talk about succeeding from the Union violently if necessary without regard to the fact the African Americans would not want any part of their Neo Confederate society.You see the Neo Confederates are the lowest form of RACIST.The like to hide behind legitimate movements like the conservatives and other groups.They know like their ancestors their real aim or target is the menacing Black man in their society.It is no accident that the most racist areas have the highest Black on Black crime,poverty,unemployment ect.In the old order of the South all White people belong to an aristocrat class based on White skin color.They the racist try to hide this and talk about Southern pride.What exactly is Southern Pride?Besides the fact that at one time White people completely controlled Black people in this region.Even White Northerners traditionally supported Southern traditions romantically because they can imagine an illusion of importance at the Black races expense.This is what the South means to people who go there.White supremency is the 800lb gorilla in the room.You cannot think about the South without thinking of slavery and the oppression of Black people.Those who do are liars and hypocrites.


Some Whites spit on the graves of people who shed blood for this country
I am always amazed that everytime I hear White people talk they talk about hating government.CNN just did a report about militia groups in Michigan arming themselves against what they perceive as an oppressive government.You have Neo Nazi groups calling for an overthrow of ZOG.Zionist Occupied Government,Even so called mainstream politicians and journalist talking of harming elected officials(Bill Oreilly threatening House Speaker Nancy Pilosi)Most of the right wing anger come from the fact that they believe only people like them are suppose to prosper in this country.When other people do it is at their expense.So they attack Barack Obama as a socialist for reigning in greed,and corruption on Wall Street.
Sarah Palin's supported Alaska and Texas succession
Yes this is a woman who in her new book she calls for profiling based on what happened at Fort Hood.She says political correctness is killing us.What about her association with far right wing groups who say the US government in the enemy.This is all rooted in the spread of the confederate culture to all aspects of White America.They are the enemies of America not the Muslim community.The racist right wing are a threat to national security but they get a pass because they are White and only non Whites can be terrorist and threaten America.Take a good listen to people who curse this country its flag but never get called out for it much less an investigation

Elephant meets Dragon.West nervous over China's presence in Africa

When the United States elected Barack Obama as the 44th President.Many people in Africa rejoiced and a new outlook towards America emerged.Obama mania swept the African continent and many hope a new relation will develop.Well China has for the last five years been increasing presence in Africa particularly Southern Africa.China has helped Angola develop its ports,buildings,industry,mining and agricultural sector.The Chinese central Bank has loaned some 70 billion dollars in development funding.This is seen by the tremendous amount for Chinese trading vessels of the many African ports.Not everyone is happy about this.The British,French,Portuguess and other former colonial masters are uneasy about China's presence in Africa.Particularly the fact that Africa is growing without their help.The myth about the loyal African subject is just a myth.A growing number of Africans are becoming millionaires and the West feels left out of the picture.As the saying goes things change and people change.Africa has changed,this presents a challenge for Pan Africanist in the West who are hoping an Obama administration would mean greater ties between Africa and African Americans:Kalagenesis.
China Flexes its muscles over the West in Africa

By Ben Blanchard and Cynthia Johnston

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao offered Africa $10 billion in concessional loans over the next three years on Sunday, saying China was a "true and trusted friend" of the continent and its people.

The aid offer is double that unveiled by President Hu Jintao at the last summit in Beijing in 2006, as China aims to boost a relationship which politically goes back decades and is now economically booming, to the discomfort of some in the West.

Wen brushed aside concerns that China was only interested in Africa's natural resources to help feed its booming economy.

"China's support for Africa's development is real and solid and, in the future, no matter what turbulence the world undergoes, our friendship with the people of Africa will not change," he told a summit in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Besides the loans, Wen said China would help Africa develop clean energy and cope with climate change, encourage Chinese financial institutions to lend to smaller African firms and expand market access for African products.

He also called for greater international help for the continent.

"Africa's development is an essential part of achieving global development, and as the sincere and dependable friend of Africa, China deeply feels the difficulties and challenges faced by Africa," We said.

"China calls on the international community to enhance its sense of urgency, and support Africa's development in an even truer and more effective way."

COLONIAL PERIOD

Blossoming trade and business ties have attracted Western accusations that Beijing is only interested in African resources, while Chinese commentators respond that envious Europeans still treat the continent like a colony.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi welcomed China's offer of aid. "We the African leaders are able to take the necessary measures to be able to benefit from the opportunities created by our partnership with China in a manner that is consistent with our principles of solidarity."

China's friendship with Africa dates from the 1950s, when Beijing backed liberation movements fighting colonial rule.

Trade has risen sharply in the past decade, driven by China's hunger for resources to power its economic boom and African demand for cheap Chinese products.

Still, this has not been without its critics, who say China is only interested in African resources and supports governments with dubious human rights records as a means to get them.

The summit was attended by the presidents of Zimbabwe and Sudan, two countries often under fire for their rights records.

Wen repeated that China would not interfere in the internal politics of any African country.

"The Chinese government and people have always respected the autonomous right of the African people to choose their own social systems. China's support and aid for Africa has never and will never attach any political conditions."

Some Chinese commentators have not been so diplomatic in the days running up to the summit, saying the West still views Africa as though it were a colony.

"The West is envious of China and Africa drawing closer," popular Chinese tabloid the Global Times, published by Communist Party mouthpiece the People's Daily, wrote on Tuesday.

"Europeans view Africa as their own backyard," the newspaper quoted Chinese Africa expert Xu Weizhong as saying. "Of course they feel uncomfortable about the arrival of the Chinese."

Some Africans say China's approach differs from that of Europe or the United States.

"China's policy is based on mutual development. Few Western countries have a foreign policy like this -- most are about telling Africans what to do," said Kwaku Atuahene-Gima, executive director of the Africa programme at the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai.

Controversial video.Rip Black America2

A very inflammatory video published by a brother named Blacktruthforever has the iseecolor.com and Youtube community on fire.In this video the author places blame for the failure in Black male/female relationships on the new so called independent woman in Black America.There is blame on both sides but the author hit some very truthful points as well as some generalizations about all Black women.The Kalagenesis says the problem was too simplified by the author.

Black America's civil war pt2.Lil Waynes says F@#& Rev Al Sharpton on is latest hit song

Using a remake of an old popular tune many grew up listening to Lil Wayne remade the song Misunderstood to his own version.Now the reason for this blog is simple,this subject affected me personally.I was driving down a popular section of my city when I looked over in the next car to see a car load of young cute White girls listening to hip hop.Now years ago I was on the so called Hip hop nation bandwagon.A movement to bring all races together by getting them to listen to the same music.Now I have to admit at first it was working.Whites learned that Black people do not all think the same and have many distinctions as far as region,background,ect.Blacks learned that not all White people are racist and mean them harm.Now getting back to the girls,I looked over at them and smiled and nodded.They seemed to satisfied that I approved their style or something,or maybe it was them wanted acknowledgment that they were"down".So my nod gave it to them.The song they were listening to was Lil Wayne's Misunderstood.The song has a beautiful beat and it is good.So I decided to look it up on youtube,The song starts out with nice with him venting typical thug nonsense the dumb down youth in America can relate to.He talks first about how people don't think he should have the house he has because he so called hustled for it.That a child rapist would be welcomed over him.Not once did he acknowledge race might be the reason.To do so would put him in the same struggle as his fellow blacks.This is something many people in sports,music,entertainment try to avoid.They know the majority of people who purchase their product are white and suburban.They look to rappers to provide them with a comfort zone.The comfort zone come first and foremost with the antagonism between black people.The marketing people skillfully make sure only hip hop that has some form of Black on Black contention makes it to the suburbs.
Lil Wayne disrespects Rev Al Sharpton
Now although many may disagree with what tactics the Rev uses most Black people stand behind him and consider him a real leader and champion of the people's struggle.Lil Wayne cleverly uses the dislike many White people have for the Rev Al Sharpton to sell tons of records, in the process he sells the Black community out.He lives in New Orleans as I am told.Why has he never used his music to say F@#& George W Bush?Has he forgotten Katrina.And the simple ignorant mined Black people who go along with him should be condemned too.There now are young impressionable minds on the internet now saying F@# Al Sharpton.Many probably do not know who he even is.Can you imagine 45 years ago a Black singer being paid to say F@#& Malcolm X?Now I see why those little White girls were bopping to Lil Wayne so hard.We are in a war Lil Wayne and traitors like him have chosen their side.
