I was once told by an Arab supremacist that Black people must suffer for the world, justified by religious institutions and politics, and he went to say how as Blacks, we must protect ourselves, for we are deemed to be created for the purposes of slavery and sexual exploitation.

He also concluded with such nonsense as: history means nothing nor does it hold any real value on Earth and that his telling me these things was his way of "loving me" when in fact, the belief that Blacks were created to be stolen from, exploited, and enslaved is pure DISCRIMINATION.

That multi-culturalism, in essence, is made to bring people in harmony, is really the degradation, and insult of Black culture and patrimony. It's the way for peoples of other races to continuously exploit Black people, while all the while claiming that they are doing this "out of love and respect."

Multi-culturalism divides people, for we lose our individual cultures. Now, the steel pan, reggae, hip-hop, and other powerful mediums of Black art are now lost to other races, who have done nothing but take credit for Black art, continuously claiming it as their own to this very day!

Other words of stupidity uttered in my face were: you suffer from an inferiority complex which is why you want to be white...if Blacks do behave this way and most do, it is only because they retain the "slave" mentality WHICH WAS IMPOSED UPON THEM BY WHITE AND ARAB SUPREMACISTS for more than 400 and 1400 years alike.

The Arabs still want to Arabtize the world and Whites still want to "whiten" the world...so why do Whites or Arabs, for that matter, complain when they say "people of color are trying to be like us"...Isn't that what they wanted in the first place? Why complain! They have a massive superiority complex. The last thing I would want to be purely is Arab or White. They are inherently misogynist, SEXIST, racist, child molesters, serial killers, and narrow-minded. They are fleshy people, and strongly against spirituality, philosophy, art, history (the true history) and science (the science I speak of is the one in which our humanity has surpassed it).

If a White woman said she hated her looks, we automatically assume she's ugly. If a Black woman said she hated her looks, we assume she wants to be White. That in itself is inherently racist. We never say, "white women are jealous of Black features and wish to look like Black Goddesses."

At least, I've never heard anyone say it and I don't believe that we do. Michael Jackson may have whitened his skin but what about all the White people who darken their skin to appear browner, more redder (some have gone as far as trying to achieve my color)...I don't even see that as being a compliment but a sick form of mentality. They have profound self-hatred as well. But, at the same time, I don't blame them for liking my color, because I wouldn't want theirs, it's awful (especially when you see them up close in your face).

The denial of Black, Brown, Red history. This is inherently racist as well. To deny one, one's history is to insult and degradate a human being for who he or she is. People of all races have destroyed African history, claiming it for their own, so they can be "God's preferred child". The Arabs claim they suffer the most, so do Whites, then the White Jews of Israel, then the Asians, but whoever speaks of the Africans? The truest of people, the most authentic and genuine of the human species in this world? Very few.

I'm not saying to people "hey guys let's build a time machine and travel back to the past and live there" because that won't happen. And I agree, in philosophical terms, we must live in the moment, transcend time and space, see the "bigger" picture of life. (It is believed the aura can see the past, present and future at once - allowing it to see a person for whom he or she really is and not just in the moment).

But let's face reality, your past is your identity...if you didn't have a past, you couldn't exist in the present and if you don't exist in the present, you can't exist in the future. I call this the Trinity. For Time is made of Three Parts. Each as important as the other. Enjoying the moment and living in beauty is wonderful, and we should learn to practice this more often.

For instance, when I saw the movie The Order. I saw people hanging others, covered in Black cloth from a rope. I said to myself "that's horrible, why are they killing these people!". When I watched the movie further on, and I saw the BIGGER picture of things...I realized that these people who were murdering men, were in fact right and justified in what they were doing.

These people were an underground Secret Order society that murdered Christians. They killed priests, nuns, preachers, clergymen, clergywomen and anyone affiliated with religious institutions for they believed that religious institutions are man-made supremacist, prejudiced creations that control the human population-disallowing people to reclaim their true spirituality.

So, when I saw the "bigger" picture of things, I realized that they were right after all and they were justified in murdering priests. They weren't evil at all. Ironically, if the Church murdered people, raped women and little boys, NO ONE would say anything or do everything to hide those facts, or we'd rationalize this behavior as saying "well it's the Church, we can always trust the Church".

Religious people murder other people...the Palestinians murder Black women and rape them too! And they say it's in the name of "God". No one in the Western world complains...we sit back and say "poor Arabs...I feel so sorry for the Palestinians, they are right to hate us." Why? Only an idiot would think that way and that is most people.

Why should some people do one form of evil and be rationalized, while another group of people do the same and be punished? That doesn't sound too equal to me. Well, Arabs have Oil companies, so that's why they get away with everything.

So the past is very important. It's your identity and it's inherently racist to destroy, alter, hide or ignore history. You couldn't possibly know where you were going if you didn't know where you were coming from. And living in the present would be a big mess.

So when that idiot man tells me: "love your education and work hard because you are Black or you'll be a slave" and have the audacity to tell me it's love. It's really just his way of being racist to my face and presenting it as love. Why do people even teach their children this mentality "that Blacks are slaves"?

Why should I work twice as hard to get lower pay! That's being unequal for if Arabs or Whites were truly non-racist and equal they wouldn't even teach their societies that Blacks are inferior forcing us to work twice as hard to fight stereotypes that never even existed of us hundreds of thousands of years ago. If anyone needs to work, it should be them.

Aurevoir!
