Why our children won't say 'I'm black & proud'

In October 2010, I witnessed the most devastating result of years of psychological warfare and how much it has destroyed our black people to inferiority and self-hate. It is very unfortunate that too many of our people have not had the chance to learn the beauty and attributes of blackness through our religious and educational institutions due to the fact that most are programmed to delete African and African-American contributions to civilisation. and the powerful and positive genetic make-up of our people.

Black educators, leaders and parents must really search hard for the positives to teach our children. Caucasians have tricked the world in such an elusive way to believe that everything white is right and everything black is bad, wrong, ugly, and etcetera.

They don't reject being called white, but many of our people reject being called black â€"why? However, conscious Africans accept blackness as if it were precious gold, because they have studied our people well â€" religiously, historically, genetically and universally.

It is important that I share the above-mentioned (approximately five months ago) in October of 2010, on an Anderson Cooper (CNN) report, which was a survey on little black children in America who prefer white skin over black skin.

The research was done with a simple chart of children with different skin tones, and the children were told to point to the child they preferred. Similar questions were asked like:

 Who do you want to play with?
 Who is the smartest?
 Who is the bad child?
 Who is the nice child?

All of the black children (including the white child) pointed to the white child for every question asked.

Uncontrollable tears started to flow down my face when the very beautiful dark-skin girl told Anderson that she didn't like dark skin.

Then she pulled the skin on her little chocolate sweet arm and said: "See, it is nasty!"

It is indeed heart-breaking knowing the psyche games whites have played to instill such self-hate among our people.

While blacks have been so compromising with fear of offending them, they have absolutely no problem flaunting themselves as supernatural and impeccable beings.

They have distorted and stolen history to make everything worthy to appear to be theirs, but there are many books that challenge their historical lies.

Books like: Stolen Legacy by George G. M. James, We The Black Jews by Dr Yosef A. A. Ben Jochannan, Longing For Darkness by China Galland, African Heritage Study Bible (King James Version) General Editor Dr Cain Hope Felder, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, The Colour Complex by Dr Midge Wilson & Dr Ronald Hall.

There are many informative books, but such books will never appear in the boxes shipped to Africa by white donors.

There is absolutely no need for anyone to feel inferior because of dark skin, because it is indeed a natural blessing â€" a blessing that blacks must study and learn more about. It is a great feeling digging deep to find the truth.

Ancient and historical evidence points to the fact that blacks are the African/Edenic people who accepted or acknowledged God as the final guardian of law and order and of the moral and ethical codes (King James Version â€" African Heritage Study Bible).

When we look at our situation today we must ask what happened to our Godly beliefs.

Blacks are indeed victims of psychological warfare created by our colonisers, who created secret, silent and ruthless societies; and in the early sixties, after the very difficult civil rights struggle in America, they (descendants of colonisers and slave masters) merged into the core of our black societies holding on to their secret and silent white majority psyche games cunningly disrupted our black power and unity movements worldwide.

When I came to Africa, I thought Steve Biko's Black Conscious Movement had broken the colonial mentality of "white is right", only to find myself totally frustrated and publishing my African Pride and Bury Me in Africa books.

There is such a great need to share the positive attributes of the melanin factor and other relevant black issues. Our children need to know that BLACKS HAVE BRIGHTENED THE WORLD with some of the greatest innovative inventions â€" from refrigerators to computer science.

African-Americans fought hard for African study departments, from secondary to university levels. Unfortunately, most of those courses have been deleted in almost every educational institution in the state of Colorado, plus many across the nation.

Truth of this devastating issue is the fact that they are afraid to allow us to know our history and to be independent.

The racist imperialist who colonised and enslaved our people know if the educational institutions were to teach the entire essence of the melanin factor alone, it would put a deep damper on their own genetic make-up.

They would no longer be able to sing psyche songs like: "Don't it Make Your Brown Eyes Blue"

Our little black children would be proud of their dark skin, and our strong black men would truly appreciate and understand the aesthetic profoundness of their blackness and the need to retain it generation after generation.

Had there not been dangerous psyche games, Michael Jackson would have remained the handsome black prince and genius that he once was, and other entertainers and athletes like O. J. Simpson and Tiger Woods would never embarrass us with such strange cravings.

We need some answers.

That little black girl who called her skin nasty needs to know why many European countries have black Madonnas (Poland, Switzerland, Greece, Italy, Spain, France). White author (China Galland) had this to say after her l0-year world study of the black  Madonnas.

"LONGING FOR DARKNESS is to say that one longs for transformation; for a darkness that brings balance, wholeness, integration, wisdom, insight . . . The association with the word "darkness" with something negative, with evil . . . That kind of association is one of the cornerstones of racism . . . Racism is evil, not- darkness."

It is unfortunate that many unconscious blacks use the same negative terms as our racist colonisers, like "black means death" and "it's a black day" and" blacksheep of the family" and the list goes on and on of negatives that we did not create.

Racist whites have indeed made "black" a dirty and evil term to create an inferior complex among our people.

Blacks are blessed with the ability to birth all the skin tones of humanity â€" without amalgamation. However, for the sake of our children we must defuse (totally eradicate) the psyche games created since the days of colonialism and slavery to demean and control our people.

Pornography, X-rated movies, and their subliminal advertisements, should be out of our homes and our communities.

Almost everyone loves chocolate cake, but for decades the American Dunkin Hines chocolate cake mix is labelled "Devil Food" and the American Betty Crocker white cake mix is labelled "Angel Food".

Any conscious person would ask why the chocolate cake should be called Devil, and these are the kind of subliminal racist psyche games blacks must keep away from our children â€" BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!
