"Colored"

I received a text from the God Supreme Wisemind the other night which asked me why the "Colored" man is a devil. I have to admit I had never really thought about it much before so I had to do the knowledge to it. I looked up the word colored and found that one definition is " Distorted or biased, as by irrelevant or incorrect information" and I saw this definition as very relevant to who and what a devil really is. You see the devil continues daily through television, radio, news, and advertising to distort our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us by setting certain bias which lead you to believe that his moral, political, and ethical standards are correct and that anyone anywhere who disagrees is in error. Why even the devil's themselves(at least 85% of them) have been brainwashed to believe that they are a superior race based on the incorrect information of history and there origins in this world they have been indoctrinated with. This "colored" information has had such an effect on the Original people that we at one time even called ourselves colored hell even now-a-day the pseudo-conscious use the colored term African to define themselves. The reason I say this is that the devil calls this continent Africa(after Scipio Africanus) whereas the Original people called it, as well as the rest of the planet, Asia because we had no need to separate one part from another because we knew that every inch of the planet belonged to us. By defining ourselves in colored terms we are still allowing our perception to be distorted by the incorrect information that the devil is feeding us mentally. So the real question is how colored is our perception of the world? I read a post in which the 7 Akil said we have to define terms do we really know and understanding the terms we use to define ourselves? This is very important because our words creates bonds and if the words we use are tainted then so are the bonds we create. Now I'm not saying we need to necessarily need to go out and learn or make up a new language or anything what I'm saying is to learn the language you speak so that you can redefine the way you communicate and also the way you perceive yourself and the world around you.

He is I and I am Him

I may not be slim(like Snoop) but I've been known to wear a tilted brim what's my M.F. name.....


It seems that my last post caused quite a buzz I've been getting e-mails, and phone calls all regarding the way some feel that I bashed or aired dirty laundry for the whole world to see well let me weigh in here by saying it is not my intention to low rate or talk down on anyone in my nation (that's why I didn't mention any names). You see, my understanding is this I and my brother are one so I can't talk about my brother without talking about myself. The way that I look at it is that in any given situation anyone of us can be either the teacher, the student, or the lesson(or at least part of the lesson) that is being taught. I'm not always right and there are times when I have been corrected and didn't take it well, when I have been used as an example which taught a lesson to someone who may have been going in the wrong direction, I have even been in the uncomfortable position of having to correct those who's tenure in this Nation eclipse the very short 11 yrs I have been a part of the NGE. What has helped me is that I have begun to realize what part I play in the situations I encounter and make sure that my role leads to someone's betterment(even if it is just my own). For those who saw my last post as a personal attack my sincerest of apologies that was not my intent. My actual intention was to bring something out that is not only a problem in our Nation but an issue with our people period. Ice Cube once said that "Fools get drunk and wanna compete slap boxing in the street. Niggas get made tempers start flaring cause they got a few women staring." The Knowledge that we have is powerful and it is very easy to get drunk with that power especially when we have an audience. So alot of times instead of us striving to reach a compromise and show and prove that we are civilized people and not savages in pursuit of happiness we are more concerned with appearances and how those who are watching will perceive us and this is dangerous. I was an active member of the 42 Oakland St. Crip Gang for 8 yrs and I have seen more lives lost over ego than anything else, in fact, I have even encountered those within my nation who sought to take my life over a misunderstanding and that is ridiculous and even though I was not the instigator I am ashamed to even say I was involved in such nonsense. I was on my way to a funeral this weekend and I checked my e-mails on my phone and I received one from my brother Sun Tzu and my feelings and response to him reminded me very quickly that even I under the right circumstances can become very emotional, irrational, and offensive. So to my brother I send my sincerest apologies. In closing when you read my post remember that I am not just seeking to teach others I am also seeking to enlighten and educate self.

Peace,
I'Quan Allah
