"There is NO POWER in being someone else
There is ALL POWER in being yourself"

~Delxino Wilson Debriano

ACTUAL CLIP OF SANKOFA MOVIE

Women and Spirituality - African Goddess Culture




A Woman on a Mission – Pastor Ray Hagins 1

A Woman on a Mission – Pastor Ray Hagins 3


CENTER>




The concept of SANKOFA is derived from King Adinkera of the Akan people of West Afrika. SANKOFA is expressed in the Akan language as "se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenki.



"
Literally translated it means "it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot".




"Sankofa" teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward. Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone or been stripped of, can be reclaimed, revived, preserved and perpetuated.




Visually and symbolically "Sankofa" is expressed as a mythic bird that flies forward while looking backward with an egg (symbolizing the future) in its mouth.





THAT’S WHY “KNOWING THYSELF” & KNOWING OUR PAST IS SO IMPORTANT. ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW, FROM PROBLEMS WITH MEN, RELATIONSHIPS, UNHAPPINESS, FAMILY…ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED. GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND REMEMBER MAMA…WE HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU….WE ARE JUST BOTH MENTALLY SICK AND HAVEN’T MADE THE TIME TO FIND OUT HOW AND WHY.



LET’S HEAL!!!

Warrioress

by Haiti Bluez

We cannot be complete without each other
With out you!



Not with any other woman
Or any other lover
It's all about you!



And only you!
It is you we want!
It is you we crave!



But right now we are both
Psychologically dazed



In our own mental maze
Because we’ve adapted to non-Afrikan ways



Baby, tell me you haven't forgotten
That we are
Not were enslaved
It's up to us to change



We are living proof
You are the one
Who is true
No matter the problems we go through
Always remember



We
Come
From
YOU



So if you are sick
Then
We
Are
Sick
Too



This is a inevitable understanding
A self ex- planetory truth



Even though we are on our own personal journey
The destination is the same stop



And same place
It seems like too many of us
It is vanities and quick fix self gratification highs
We chase



Instead of each other
A frickin piece of paper called money
We choose to embrace



In this time and space
We can and will change



When we learn to re-center ourselves
Through our Afrikan culture and unity
Only then will we see how far we range
Through Nature’s grace



Giving up these negative passions
Which in turn produces mental cruelty
Reorganizing our personal chemistries
So we can heal



Individually
As well as communally
We have to get in that AFRIKAN state of mind
Be on that mental grind
Through our own rhythms and rhymes
With our Divinely Godly given chimes



That resonate like the fascinating flashes
From the very impulses
You leave behind



Afrikan Warrioress
It is not an accident
That mother nature
Built us by design



Is it a crime?
That we are both victims of the same paradigmn
The origin of man kind
So we must search deep within us



For our greatness is sacredly divine
Within each experience
We must relearn to love
To seek
To trust
To find



Acknowledgement is the first step in recovery
We've suffered far too long
From conquer and divide
Let's stop fallin for the okey doke
Get rid of this temporary blindness



The attractive distractions
Against our personal and community enhancements
Are just blessings
In disguise
Peep game



Real eyes



Real lies



REALILZE!!!

We must love
Like we have never loved before
Our truths and our lies
Are forever intertwined
It must come from inside



Let it go Mama
For your history
Is mine
Neva forget that
Mother Nature and balance will come back



But only when the ladies request the selecta to
Bring dat chune back pon rewind
Pulllllllllllllll up!!
As the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey Says
"Be Black, Buy Black, & Think Black
And all else will take care of itself



Black Star says to keep it balanced with that
"Knowledge of Self"
Determination
And we will build
For we are the people



Who know how make something
Out of nothing
Original masters of creation



Fa real
Our ancestors have standing monuments











Which can attest to how
How we drill
We'll have each other
Whenever we need help
We must be that deal
In order for us to properly heal
We must be that postive energy



That creates
That positive energy
Do you see that?
"Knowing Thyself"
As well as knowing thy enemies



Being humble with self
Creates a refreshing inner peace
Stress release
Strech your body
Stretch your mind
And feel your chi increase



Do you feel that?
Give it a try
Put the bullshit behind
What we need from you is understanding
For the babies
We gonna ride



Please try
So that our children see their
Mommies and Daddies
The whole Black-Afrikan family



Collectively strivin
And when Mommy finally recognizes
That she is the cradle of civilization
..

Then she will know what to do
And what’s right
So she can pass the love down
To future seeds and generations
Mommy has reawakened



She's alive
So amazin
Like the sun’s shine
We'll stay blazin
Don't give up on us


..


Please
Be patient
We are victims of the same discriminations
We will rebalance ourselves
With positive vibrations
And always remember
That our love for you goes ancient



As Malcolm says
"You educate a woman
You educate a nation"



Afrikan Warrior Empress
Your are
Sacred
Bless




BLACK WOMBAN WE LOVE YOU

Killah Priest videos from his

"Behind The Stained Glass" album.

For Tomorrow

Killah Priest]
The cargo ships rocking ocean tides
Their freedom watch from the open skies
Cried for his chosen tribe
The great Amistad wave goodbye
You'll never see her again
Currents of strong wind
Took niggas on the long ride
Naked have I came, naked should I leave?
This hell I see, I've written it in my form
So if my time calls you can press play like its yesterday
It's been a decade since the best say (Heavy Mental)
Y'all hear 'em again, my serum's the pen
If death follows, so lie for now
The apostle, grace be unto you
Till the coming of shallow, I wrote this...

(Hook) Priest
4 Tomorrow x3

[Killah Priest]
What's sufficient for the ears?
Redemption is near
The hope of Christian, religion is listen but fear
This society put us back in bondage
Till we recall elements, living devilish in our conscious
We became monsters
Cause all we want is the chronic and some liquors
And tat on some scriptures and I miss my sister
Pictures haunts my mind, it turns realer
Look inside my memories mirror
Her-oin had an in-sedation, till she became an AIDS patient
Her last days she laid shaking
I stood by her grave waiting
For the preacher to finish his sentence
I dropped the rose in the hole then I left repented
It took part of my soul; turn my soft heart into stone
When I strike my chest it hurts my hand
Is our freedom even worth the plan?
The dope merchant glance
Then look back at the fiend like "you heard the man"
Who wanna take a stand? Hopes are hollow
The adolescent hand chokes a bottle
No role models, wherever the streets leads he shall follow

(Hook) Priest
4 Tomorrow x4

(Priest talking over the hook)
Let's see the future
This for the future man
Ha-ha, I want the future to hear me
I want everybody to realize
That when I sat and I wrote this
This was for...

[Killah Priest]
He quickened my heart after the foolish women rip it apart
Swimming in a dark sea that was living with sharks
The last enemy to destroy his death, what's next?
Given the power, all things wicked will end an hour
The corruptible, must put on end corruption
All this and his destructions
God to men discussions, he looks at sin disgusting
Sky erupting when my pen is touching
Deliverance from this ignorance
Idiots or oblivious, it makes God furious
Surrender yourselves, ye members of hell
Offenders are given the jail
The devils agenda's to get in one self
All we wanted was help, the conomine is blind
The honorable is hard to find, there should be no sign
Liberty is defined, the spirit must be circumcised
It's deeper than just tribute time

(Hook) Priest

GZA: Paper Plate (50 Cent diss)

Eu sou totalmente favorável a ignorar o 50 Cent e todos seus semelhantes em blog comprometidos a trazer boa música, mas desta vez não pude escapar. I am totally in favour of ignoring the 50 Cent and all similar in their blog committed to bringing good music, but this time I could not escape. Um dos maiores emcees - emcee, não rapper! One of the greatest emcees - emcee, no rapper! - que o mundo já teve o prazer de escutar, resolveu mostrar para o autor de "clássicos" como Candy Shop o que é realmente talento. -- That the world has had the pleasure of listening, decided to show the author of "classical" as Candy Shop, which is really talented. Sem gritar, sem usar força, apenas com rimas inteligentíssimas, mostrando que, apesar de a época de ouro do Wu-Tang Clan já ter passado, ainda é preciso respeitar as verdadeiras lendas. Without shouting, without using force, with only rhymes inteligentíssimas, showing that, despite the golden years of the Wu-Tang Clan has already past, still have to meet the real legends. A música em si não é nada de mais, mas a letra é espetacular. The music itself is not anything more, but the letter is spectacular. Aproveitem, e relevem os possíveis erros na tradução, porque o GZA é um cara muito complexo nas rimas, é bem difícil traduzir as letras dele. Use, fall and the possible errors in translation, because the GZA is a very expensive complex in rhymes, it's quite difficult to translate the letters of it.

New weapons of mass destruction

The Nyahbinghi Harps
In Rasta overstanding, Nyahbingi is the mystical power of the Most High to mete justice throughout the universe. Although the genuine origin of the word that means “she possesses many things” is Ugandan, as a concept and theology, Nyahbingi has come down to the Rastaman to signify “death to the oppressors, both black and white”. Therefore, it is through prayer, music and biblical reasonings that the Rastaman chants bingi, calling on the forces of nature to destroy the powers of wickedness. “…Storm, cyclone, tidal wave and all tempestuous roaring elements from creation to destroy the wicked nation and set Rastaman free…”

More about Nyahbinghi

Thunder: This is the bottom of the bingi ensemble; there are rarely more than two thunder players at a gathering. It is a typical looking double-headed bass drum, played with a mallet. an open tone on “1” and a dampened stroke on “3”. Occasionally, the thunder player will syncopate the rhythm.

Funde: Although the funde often resembles a requinto, the
smallest conga used in Afro-Cuban music, the funde is
actually the middle drum used in Nyahbingi; it
maintains the dominant heartbeat rhythm as the
funde player makes steady, dampened strokes on “1&”
…“3&”; it is thus dually known as the heartbeat and
has the least improvisational role.

Repeater: The repeater, or akette, is the smallest and highest
pitched drum. It is somewhat of a single elongated
bongo. The drummer tends to play around “2 e & a”
and “4 e & a”, with a syncopated, rather than a
backbeat feel. These beats are important to the overall
feel of the Nyahbingi rhythm, but the repeater has a
very improvisational role in bingi because it is seen as
the carrier of spirit.

Shaka: The shekere, which is commonly found throughout
Africa, the Caribbean Latin America, has a place in
Nyahbingi. The shekere player has a somewhat flexible role: He/she has been known to play on “1”, “1&”, “1” and “3” or “1&”…“3&” [The following should be noted regarding the curious nomenclature of this instrument—Perhaps the word is a simple corruption of the proper pronunciation; and there is the possibility that it is a more calculated allusion to the Zulu word for fire, shaka.

Since 2004 inventor Thierry Alari has been working to turn the DJ world upside down by creating a portable all-in-one scratch instrument capable of being played while walking, standing, or sitting. At first glance, the Scratchophone looks like a cross between a hand drum and turntable, but upon further inspection it’s quickly revealed to be much, much more.

Scratch musicians are able to comfortably perform on stage thanks to stable tracking provided by a hanging micro tonearm, adjustable crossfader wrist position (+/- 15°), and the inclusion of turntable start/stop mechanism w/ adjustable pitch. While needing only a reliable power source, vinyl, and a skilled turntablist, the Scratchophone delivers a near complete portable scratch experience utilizing components from a Stanton TT500 direct drive turntable, Vestax VMC-002xLu mixer, and Eclectic Breaks Pro X Fade Crossfader.

Still only a prototype, version 1.0 has an expected date of September ‘08 with plans to make available "empty" Scratchophone cases for those wishing to implement their own customized setup.

See the Scratchophone website for more info and check out the video of Grand Wizard Theodore and DJ Fade Wizard performing a live demonstration.

Frances Cress Welsing - Web Site

Frances Cress Welsing's Web site: "We now are in the 21st century. Recently, there has been an unraveling and an analysis of the core issue of the first global power system of mass oppression -- the power system of racism (white supremacy). Once the collective victim (non-white population) understands this fundamental issue, the ultimate organizing of all of the appropriate behaviors necessary to neutralize the great injustice of the white supremacy power system will only be a matter of time. The length of time required to neutralize global white supremacy will be inversely proportional to 1) the level of understanding of the phenomenon; plus 2) the evolution of self- and group-respect, the will, determination and discipline to practice the appropriate counter-racist behaviors--on the part of the non-white victims of white supremacy."

M1 of Dead Prez & POCC Interviews Mumia Abu-Jamal for the Block Report

Mumia Abu-Jamal's Radio Broadcasts

Higher Quality Audio files available info@prisonradio.org

Copyright 2008 Mumia Abu-Jamal/Prison Radio

1) 11:40 Radio essay MP3

Prisoners of Conscience Committee Minister of Culture M1, also known
for his work with the legendary rap group dead prez, interviewed
prolific journalist and political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal about two
weeks ago. A lot of people wonder what Malcolm X (El Hajj Malik El
Shabazz) and Sam Cooke talked about when they were with Muhammad Ali the
night that he won his first professional title bout against Sonny
Liston, or what Huey P. Newton and Richard Pryor talked about when they
used to hang out at parties.

This was an unscripted conversation between one of the most
revolutionary voices in the media today, that being the “voice of the
voiceless” Mumia Abu Jamal, talking to one of rap music’s most
revolutionary voices, M1. What makes M1 and Mumia different from Malcolm
and Sam or Huey and Richard is that in their cases, Malcolm and Huey
were the organizers, while Sam was a talented singer and Richard was a
legendary comedian.

In this case, although M1 is a rapper and Mumia is a journalist, both
have long histories of organizing in the Black community. M1 is
currently with the Prisoners of Conscience Committee, and Mumia Abu
Jamal is a former member of the Black Panther Party. Check out what
these two veterans of our struggle talked about, when they finally met
for the first time, through some phone lines. – Minister of Information JR

M1: This is M1, the People’s Advocate, one-half of dead prez and the
Minister of Culture of the Prisoners of Conscience Committee signing in
for Block Report Radio, and I am proud and honored to be on the phone
today with Mumia Abu Jamal, the voice of our people and the voice inside
our struggle behind enemy lines. I got a few questions today, and I
can’t wait. I’m honored to be talking to you here today. How are you
feeling?

Mumia: Good, brother, the honor is also mine. I know of you, not
musically but politically, and this is good enough for me.

M1: Good, good. I want to jump right in. A partner of mine, Rosa
Clemente, and I often talk about the concept of media justice, and you
as the voice of our people’s resistance, what information do you feel is
the most pertinent in these days of distraction, i.e. Republican versus
Democrat? What is the most important thing that we need to know?

Mumia: The most important thing that we need to know right now is it
doesn’t matter who gets elected, honestly. I know people heard that
years ago when Ralph Nader was running, but I mean in the grand scheme
of things, because what we are talking about is differences of degree.
We’re talking about two imperial presidents, you know? One will be a
pretty brown face, a pretty brown young face even. One will be a less
pretty old white face. But essentially what they are talking about is
imperialism. So what people need to understand and really really need to
get is that they should demand through their actions ...

Mumia: They should demand through their activities in the streets and
everywhere else what kind of system they want and what they oppose. If
they feel that everything is honkey-dory if you get a Black president,
then they’ll be just like the people in Philadelphia who believed that
everything was great when they got a Black mayor. It really doesn’t
matter what color someone is, it matters ... what their mind is like,
what they are thinking about – if they are in support of empire or
really in support of democracy.

If you think about this war that we are in the middle of, in order for
this war to happen, the government had to ignore not just millions of
people in the United States but millions of people, tens of millions of
people all around the world in some of the biggest demonstrations in the
history of the world. So we’re talking about an anti-democratic system.
And that can only be changed, not by that system, but by the people.

M1: Good, well, going forward I would like say that yesterday we
celebrated African Liberation Day, and that’s in the memory of Kwame
Ture, and also remembering Malcolm X and his birthday just passed, we
see the importance of great organizers who were able to galvanize the
best that our people could give to our struggle and to our movement. And
also we see the importance of organization. What is your vision of the
organization that will defeat imperialism worldwide?

Mumia: Well, it has to be a global organization. By that I mean the new
name of imperialism in the 21st century is really globalization. And
when you think about that, when you read about that, when you study
about that, globalization really means the globalization of capital. You
don’t hear people talking about the globalization of labor. But you know
that working people all over the world have more in common with each
other than they have with their own so-called leaders or the rulers, the
ruling class that is of those societies.

So people should globalize resistance. And that means talking across
cultures, learning other languages. It’s easier now in the age of the
internet than it was 30 years ago, but it is still necessary, you see?
Because we need to break through these illusions that the media puts in
people’s heads. I mean, there are millions of people who hate people
that they have never met.

If you mention the name of the president of Venezuela or the president
of Iran, people will base their hatred on stuff that they heard on the
news. And more likely than not, it was erroneous exaggerations or just
straight up lies. Why should people hate someone that they don’t know
based on misinformation? You could only do that if you know the role of
the media in a capitalist society, which is to support the rule of the
rulers, you see?

M1: Great, it’s so much to learn. I’m so happy to be soaking this up.
