Trick or Treat ... Effects of White Sugar

Hotep Brothers & Sisters,

You know I was coming with something. I only try to give you the truth and let you make the decision for yourself. As I've said before, it's alright not to know but it's a shame not to want to know. But, then once you find out it's what you do with that knowledge that counts.

As Western culture kicks off the nxt 3 months of hollow-daze (holiday) celebrationz, it's no coincidence they start off with a blatant celebration honoring the existence of evil. It's also a time when the sugar industry pushes the worlds only over-the-counter (OTC) leading to death DRUG...Refined Sucrose (or WHITE SUGAR). What is the treat about Halloween?

The Top !% and the REST OF US!

---

The link below takes you to a new report released last week by the Congressional Budget Office detailing the income growth of the Top 1% as compared to the REST OF US from 1979 to 2007. This report seemingly adds fuel to the fires of the Occupy protests that are happening today.  At the same time it shows that while some households, maybe mine, maybe yours, are relatively close to the top 1%, but that the difference in the income growth for those statistically close does not even compare to the enormous income growth of the Top 1%! 

 

To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, refer to Appendix A of the link which shows a table outlining the written Summary section.  The income growth of the lowest income group grew by pprx. 26% from 1979 to 7007. The 99th percentile group had an average income of apprx.$130,000 in 2007 for an increase of apprx. 65% from 1979. Some of us may be in that group.  However, the Top 1% income group's income was apprx. $347,000+ in 2007 for an increase of OVER 300%!  Realistically speaking, some of us, say a professional, college graduate couple, have household incomes greater than the $130,000 (99th percentile group), but IF their income in 2007 was less than the Top 1% household income of over $300,000, then their income growth was still only 65% over the period as compared to the over 300% growth for the Top 1%!

 

Given that the gap in income growth from 1979  to 2007 between the 99 percentile (65% growth) and the Top 1% (over 300% growth), then it is clear that  the 99th percentile should be out there protesting  with the others who may well be in the groups below the 99th percentile group.  And further, given this disparity, it accelerates the belief that there really is no such thing as a middle class.  There's only the Top 1% and the REST OF US! The greedy and the needy, as they say.

 

Western countries derive their social structure from the early Greek concept of the republic as set forth in Plato's Republic in which the definition of Justice was the interest of the stronger party. This concept plays out as a constant struggle between the few and the many, the rich and the poor, the oligarchs and the REST OF US! The  early Greek polis (from which they get the words politics, politicians, political science, etc; a word that did not exist in many ancient Afrikan languages) was originally conceived as an armed fort. .Thus, the oligarchs use their armed fort (or police) to stop the Occupy protestors in order to maintain Justice, or the interest of the stronger party.

HU School of Pharmacy to Host Wellness Fair

The Hampton University School of Pharmacy (HUSOP) is hosting a Health and Wellness Fair, in conjunction with the Script Your Future Campaign, at the West Hampton Community Center, 1638 Briarfield Rd., Oct. 29. The event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The goal of the interactive fair is to provide the public with tools and strategies to improve medication adherence. HUSOP students and faculty will be on hand to assist with questions about medications. Visitors can also bring their medications with them to get consultation on proper use.
Health screenings, including diabetic foot exams, blood pressure and blood glucose tests will also be available, as well as information about Medicare enrollment and living with hypertension and asthma. A total of 70 students from the HUSOP are involved in the fair with the hopes of servicing at least 500 people. The target audience are those 55 and up, though those as young a 18 are welcome to attend and receive information. The event's theme is "Adherence, one step to a better you. When you know better you do better."
"Medication adherence involves taking medications as prescribed. When people fail to take medications as instructed by healthcare providers including their doctors, nurses and pharmacists, they are considered to be non-adherent," said Gloria Adabie, a fourth year HU pharmacy student who is participating in the fair. "Medication non-adherence costs the U.S. healthcare system $290 billion annually in avoidable expenditures. By working to improve medication adherence, our aim is to not only save money but save lives. Nearly 125,000 people die every year from not taking medications as prescribed."

For more information about the fair contact the School of Pharmacy at 757.727.5753.

Philly Blocks NAACP Billboard

Philadelphia, the "City of Brotherly Love" which jails a high percentage of persons of Afrikan descent living in certain areas has blocked the NAACP's planned billboard at Philly International stating that the US is only 5% of the world's population, but jails 25% of its people, leading the world over countries such as Russia, Rwanda and Cuba.  Another way to say that is since Blacks/ Latinos comprise roughly 58% of the US prison population, Blacks/Latinos are roughly 14.5% of the total prisoners in the world!

 

And via the US 13th Amendment, ALL of those Black/Latino prisoners are candidates for constitutionally authorized legal slavery, which by its language abolished chattel slavery, except for persons convicted of a crime. ANY LEVEL OF CRIME!

 

This is more than a travesty by any measure, and it is part of the US system put into place during the 1800s that criminalizes people by racial traits, as Dr. Charysee McIntyre pointed out in her ground breaking book, "Criminalizing A Race."

Re: [T.G.F.] Jegna or Mentorship ?

I also would like to point out that, in many west Afrikan countries, it is current and accepted practice to refer to older/married men and women as "Uncles/Aunts/Aunties". This practice likely stems from the cultural tradition that I mentioned previously of the

"male-mother" (mother's brother or Uncle) and the "female-father" (father's sister or Aunt/Auntie) who played a very major role in rearing/guiding/initiating young children in many west Adrikan cultures.  It was the "male-mothers" (Uncle), not the biological father, who was primarily responsible for the Initiation (Rites of Passage) which transformed the young boys into the status of men with all of the rights, privileges and obligations thereof in the village.  Similarly, it was the "female-fathers" who taught and guided the young girls the things they needed to know and understand in order to be transformed into adult women in the village setting.

 

I use those terms "Uncle/Aunt/Auntie" frequently when addressing indigenous Afrikans that I meet on the continent, or in restaurants, cultural affairs, etc. and I have never been frowned on for doing so.  I also may point out that even the euros, many times,  referred to older Afrikan captives as "Uncles/Aunts", instead of the customary derogative terms "boy/girl". (see the book, "Deep Like The Rivers").  Tis custom still survives as evidenced by products such as "Uncle Ben's Rice" or "Aunt Jemima Pamcakes".

 

Many of use refer to each other today as "Brother/Sister" even though we may not be direct blood relatives, but we are recognizing each other as extended family members.  Similarly, for the current west Afrikan use of "Uncle/Aunt/Auntie" who traditionally were the primary agents in rearing/guiding/initiating young children.  This is a significant point that community members. we need to keep in mind when we use those terms to refer to non-direct blood

 

With this historical background, it would be in keeping with our west  Afrikan cultural norms to use the term "Uncle/Aunt/Auntie" instead of the Greek-derived "mentor" in your organizational setting.  Also, it may be easier for the children to grasp the way the terms "Uncle/Aunt/Auntie" is being used in your organization, than it would be to use the term "Jegna". But, that reason alone should not be a major factor, because I firmly believe we need to educate our selves and especially our children about Afrikan-derived words and language..

 

Finally, the above is only a suggestion; I'm sure you will use your own best judgment to determine which way forward.

 

Htp,

Kwasi

It may have been noted that the terms 'Jegna' and 'Mentor' have been used in describing our program. Some culturally concerned scholars have advanced the term Jegna when describing our activities. While The Golden Fold describes our movement as a Jegna, we may still use the term Mentorship to aid those who are unaware of the roots of the term 'mentor' or those who are not concerned with the roots of the term as opposed to it's current use.

Jegna is an Ethiopian (Amharic) word that means "a very brave person who is a protector of a culture, the rights of his or her people and their land." A jegna is more than a "leader." She or he is someone who is not afraid to speak truth to power, is uncompromised, full of integrity and at the very core of his or her being sees the welfare and protection of their people as paramount. They are literally prepared to die for the community they represent. It refers to those who are altruistically commited, out of an unqualified duty to their people and nation, to teach our children the art an science of a politically concscious adulthood.
Jegna (Jenoch, plural form) are those special people who have (1) been tested in struggle or battle (2) demonstrated extraordinary and unusual fearlessness, (3) shown determination and courage in protecting her/her peoples, land and culture, (4) shown diligence and dedication to our people, (5) produced an exceptionally high quality of work, and (6) have dedicated themselves to the protection, defense, nurturance and developement of our young by advancing our people. place, and culture.
-Wade W. Nobles ("From Na Ezaleli to the Jenoch")

Mentor is derived from the mythical Greek character Mentor who Odysseus left to care for and educate his son Telemachus in his absence. As was the reported culture in ancient Greek society, and as was the relationship between Mentor & Telemachus, a significant part of his role as a teacher and guardian (mentor) was to become physically intimately involved with the male boy. Those who distance themselves from the term 'Mentor' do so to distance themselves the aspect of the historical term 'Mentor' which would be considered today to be male-on-male statutory rape.

The Golden Fold Movement serves boys aged 11 – 17 as mentees and males aged 18 – 23 as movement interns by providing seminar based guidance activities in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Participants enjoy a structured, supervised Jegna (mentoring) relationship with men of the community who have guidance, and life experiences to share with the youth. We employ a Bonding-Presentation-Guidance model in most sessions. Contact: thegoldenfold @ yahoo (dot) com or call/text message 757-353-7008.

Jegna or Mentorship ?

We must first credit Bro M'Bwebe of www.daghettotymz.com, for bringing the term "Jegna" into our midst. This is all very interesting as far as words go, but I'm not seeing, from the definition, where the Jegna terms pertains to guidance for young children.  In west Afrika, among the Dagara people of Burkina Faso, Mali,  and other west Afrikan cultures, they use phrases such as "male-mother" i.e., "mother's brother", or "female-father" i.e., "father's sister".  These phrases, "male mother and female father" refer to the uncles and aunts who typically, in traditional Afrika, played a major role in rearing/guiding/initiating  children.

 

It may take a bit of getting used to here in the wilderness of the west, but the concepts can be adopted/adapted to convey the intent of those who look to steer our youth during adolescence.

Filmmaker Obatala Mawusi said that the days he spent documenting the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City were "eye-opening." In particular, the diversity he saw among the protesters belied the images of the movement in mainstream media. In early October 2011, Mawusi spoke to some of the Black participants about why the Occupy Wall Street movement attracted them.
