Umoja Karamu- Giving thanks to Afrikan Culture
Umoja Karamu- Giving thanks to Afrikan Culture
Its purpose is to instill a sense of unity and appreciation of Afrakan heritage into Afrakan families. This is done through prayers to the traditional deities of Afraka, libations to honor our Afrakan ancestors, historical Afrakan centered readings and Afrakan centered films all of which culminates in a healthy, nutritious feast. In his own words Brother Edward Simms, Jr. states “[Umoja Karamu] injects new meaning and solidarity into the Black Family through ceremony and symbol. It is unique in that it bridges the gap between diverse religious persuasions through a ritual which is easily understood and appreciated by all the participants. Moreover, it draws on the collective Black experience with which most Black Folks are familiar.”
The Umoja Karamu celebration is based on five major epochs in the lives of Afrakans in America and each represented by a distinct color. The feast should include foods representing the color of each epoch.The prayers, libations, historical readings and films should also center around these events:
1st Epoch – Afrakans prior to the invasions and influence of Europeans and Arabs. The color Black, is used to delineate the unity of the Afrakan people.
2nd Epoch – Captivity of Afrakans during which the Maafa occurs. The color white symbolizes the adversary and their role in the attempted destruction of Afrakan culture.
3rd Epoch – Self Emancipation. The fight against forced labor and captivity in the United States of America through revolts, Civil Rights and the Black Power movements. The color red is used to represent those who lived and died in service of freeing captive Afrakans.
4th Epoch – National Liberation. The fight for decolonization of Afrakan countries the formation of the Organization for Afrakan Unity and the diasporac Afrakan liberation movements. The chosen color is green, symbolic of land and all that comes from it.
5th Epoch – The Future of Afraka and Afrakans. The Afrakan Union, The African Socialist International, The Sankofa Movement. Afrakan centered perspectives for the future. The color gold is chosen for the future is a most valuable asset.
Kwanzaa, Umoja Karamu, Odunde. Afrakans in America – earnestly engaged in the reclamation of their culture and its institutionalization.

12 year old with Natural Sister-Fro faces expulsion for her Afro - WTF ?
According to Global Grind article by Christina Coleman, the 12 year old pictured was facing an expulsion for her hairstyle. Get INVOLVED ! Do something to ensure this doesn't continue !
A Central Florida teen told Local 6 on Monday she faced expulsion because administrators at her private school wanted her to cut and shape her hair. But a day later, administrators appeared to have changed their mind, saying she will not be expelled.
Vanessa VanDyke said she was given one week to decide to whether cut her hair or leave Faith Christian Academy in Orlando, a school she's been going to since the third grade. But for now, she and her mother do not plan to change her hair because it is part of the 12-year-old's identity. But her natural hair style comes with a cost. "It says that I'm unique," said VanDyke. "First of all, it's puffy and I like it that way. I know people will tease me about it because it's not straight. I don't fit in." VanDyke said that first the teasing from other students, but now, school leaders seem to be singling her out for her appearance.

Faith Christian Academy has a dress code and rules against how students can wear their hair. The student handbook reads: "Hair must be a natural color and must not be a distraction," and goes on to state examples that include, but are not limited to, mohawks, shaved designs and rat tails.
"A distraction to one person is not a distraction to another," said VanDyke's mother, Sabrina Kent. "You can have a kid come in with pimples on his face. Are you going to call that a distraction?"
VanDyke said she's had her large, natural hair all year long, but it only became an issue after the family complained about students teasing her about her hair.
"There have been bullies in the school," said Kent. "There have been people teasing her about her hair, and it seems to me that they're blaming her."
"I'm depressed about leaving my friends and people that I've known for a while, but I'd rather have that than the principals and administrators picking on me and saying that I should change my hair," said VanDyke.
"I'm going to fight for my daughter," Kent said. "If she wants her hair like that, she will keep her hair like that. There are people out there who may think that natural hair is not appropriate. She is beautiful the way she is."
School administrators told Local 6 in a statement on Tuesday, "we're not asking her to put products in her hair or cut her hair. We're asking her to style her hair within the guidelines according to the school handbook."
Administrators at Faith Christian Academy now say they are not requiring one of their students to cut her hair in order to continue attending, but they are asking her to style it differently.
Last week, a school adviser asked Vanessa Van Dyke's mother to either straighten or cut her daughter's hair or risk expulsion.
"African American hair grows out," mother Sabrina Kent said. "It doesn't grow down. Her hair is her hair. What am I supposed to do?"
Vanessa admits her hair is very big compared to other students at her school.
"It's puffy, and I know people will make fun of me, because it's not straight," she said. "I don't fit in."
Vanessa said she doesn't want to cut her hair and doesn't want to straighten it, either. At the same time, she also doesn't want to leave her classroom at Faith Christian Academy and her friends.
After Local 6's original story aired, school administrators changed their requests of Vanessa and her family.
"We are not asking her to put products in her hair or to cut her hair," read a statement sent to Local 6. "We are asking her to style her hair within the guidelines according to the school handbook."
The handbook does not cite large or frizzy hair, noting only, "Mohawks, shaved signs, rat tails, etc."
Kent said she and Vanessa are going to talk about their options over Thanksgiving.
This is a similar situation to the 7 year old who was expelled for her Dread-Locks:

Thanks(for)getting the Origin of Thanksgiving
Ɛte Sɛn (What’s Up) All,
Many feel thanksgiving poses no threat, labeling it as a harmless day we’re off from work to come together and stuff our bodies with impure, toxic, flesh-decaying products in the name of family. What is Thanksgiving and is there an AfRAkan alternative to it? More importantly, what is the history of Thanksgiving, who am I really thanking, and what part of “HIS-STORY” am I forgetting (or ignoring)?
Are you ready, do you want to stay blind, hopefully you can handle the truth and do what’s right afterwards?
But, before I go into the HIS-STORY of Thanks-killing , I want you to check this video out that I took last year from the Slave Dungeons in Cape Coast, Ghana AfRAka entailing the treachery “OUR” ANKHcestors went through. Realize...when you celebrate the horrible European Hollow-Day called thanksgiving you are literally spitting in your ANKHcestors face … don’t get mad the truth is the truth.

From the beginning of my adolescent sentence into the "reprogramming system" aka public schoolz, I was told the so-called "native" americanz and the pilgrimz shared a mutually respective relationship. I was also, "programmed" to believe the "natives" were the first in the americaz, shattering any possibility of ever perceiving the historical fact of my Afrikan Ancestorz being here first and therefore the true "natives".
I was coerced to believe the pilgrim was as generous as the natives were, which is allegedly symbolic for the celebration many of us ignorantly celebrate each 3rd Thursday in November.
By the age of 5, my mind had already been momentarily held in captivity, lasting the first 20 yearz of my natural life. A possession the likes of this seldom lose its contagious hold. Mainly because this spell eliminated my questioning of the real story behind thanksgiving as I drew turkeyz from the outstretched fingerz of my left hand as a child. I never asked my momz why eating pig intestines (chitterlingz) and buttocks (ham) was at an all-time high around this time of year. I never asked where were the black people while the natives and pilgrimz was gettin' they eat on. It didn't matter then, all I cared about was buggin' with my cousinz and eating literally like a pig, until I couldn't eat no more...
That was then. Then, I didn't inquire about any Afrikan alternative to thanksgiving because I thought it was Afrikan, or rather, Black! After all, my family is Black! But there was no one there to tell me the flipside to man-made hallow-daze (holidayz) I grown to be so fond of.
But as adults, we must realize we are accountable for everything we allow to be part of our lives and families. This accountability is essential if we are to break the chain of customz that dishonor our Ancestorz as well as pass on the madness to our children...I repeat pass on the madness to our children.
From the origin of black organizationz to the many hallow-daze we celebrate. In this piece, we'll focus on the fallacy behind Thanksgiving.
There are three levels of thinking author Tony Browder talks of… They are:
1) Literal — one who accepts without question something told to them;
2) Influential — one who is able to see the underlying message or detect ill subliminalz; and
3) Evaluative — one who is able to not only see the subliminal, but is able to combat it with a deeper meaning and eventual solution/alternative to what is presented to them.
Take a moment before readin' on and decide what kind of thinker you are. This is important because what you read from here you'll be faced with determining if you're really who you say you are...
"At the first thanksgiving celebration in 1621, there were only 6-7 sane people left in the whole pilgrim colony. The rest were basically mentally gone.”
— Captain John Smith

Colonialisms Mandate - Enslaving the Black Mind
Letter From King Leopold II to Colonial Missionaries Heading to Africa, 1883
AFRICANGLOBE – Below is a letter written in 1883 by King Leopold II of Belgium to Belgian Christian missionaries being sent to Congo. These Christian missionaries would eventually become the spearhead of Belgian colonialism only to be followed by Belgian traders and lastly the Belgian army.Reverends, Fathers and Dear Compatriots:
The task that is given to fulfill is very delicate and requires much tact. You will go certainly to evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire above all Belgium interests. Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the n!ggers to know God, this they know already. They speak and submit to a Mungu, one Nzambi, one Nzakomba, and what else I don’t know.
They know that to kill, to sleep with someone else’s wife, to lie and to insult is bad. Have courage to admit it; you are not going to teach them what they know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of administrators and industrials, which means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the best to protect your interests in that part of the world. For these things, you have to keep watch on dis-interesting our savages from the richness that is plenty [in their underground. To avoid that, they get interested in it, and make you murderous] competition and dream one day to overthrow you.
Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering, and encouraging your followers to love poverty, like “Happier are the poor because they will inherit the heaven” and, “It’s very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.” You have to detach from them and make them disrespect everything which gives courage to affront us. I make reference to their Mystic System and their war fetish – warfare protection – which they pretend not to want to abandon, and you must do everything in your power to make it disappear.
Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they won’t revolt when the recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parent’s teachings. The children have to learn to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their soul. You must singularly insist on their total submission and obedience, avoid developing the spirit in the schools, teach students to read and not to reason.
There, dear patriots, are some of the principles that you must apply. You will find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the n!ggers so that they stay forever in submission to the White colonialists, so they never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing. Recite every day – “Happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them.”
The letter which follows is Courtesy of Dr. Vera Nobles and Dr. Chiedozie Okoro.
Letter from King Leopold II of Belgium to Colonial Missionaries, 1883.
Convert always the Blacks by using the whip. Keep their women in nine months of submission to work freely for us. Force them to pay you in sign of recognition-goats, chicken or eggs-every time you visit their villages. And make sure that n!ggers never become rich. Sing every day that it’s impossible for the rich to enter heaven. Make them pay tax each week at Sunday mass.Use the money supposed for the poor, to build flourishing business centres. Institute a confessional system, which allows you to be good detectives denouncing any Black that has a different consciousness contrary to that of the decision-maker.
Teach the n!ggers to forget their heroes and to adore only ours. Never present a chair to a Black that comes to visit you. Don’t give him more than one cigarette.
Never invite him for dinner even if he gives you a chicken every time you arrive at his house.
“The above speech which shows the real intention of the Christian missionary journey in Africa was exposed to the world by Mr. Moukouani Muikwani Bukoko, born in the Congo in 1915, and who in 1935 while working in the Congo, bought a second hand Bible from a Belgian priest who forgot the speech in the Bible. – Dr. Chiedozie Okoro
Africans Should Note:
1] that all missionaries carried out, and still carry out, that mandate. We are only lucky tohave found King Leopold’s articulation of the aim of all Christian imperialist missionaries to Africa.
2] Even the African converts who today manage the older churches in Africa (the priests, bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals etc of the Roman and Protestant sects), and especially also those who evangelize Born-Again Christianity, still serve the same mandate. Which is why they demonize African gods and Anglicize African names, and drop the names of African deities which form part of African names; and still attack and demolish the African shrines that have managed to survive, e.g. Okija.
3] Those Africans who voluntarily converted to Christianity before the colonial conquest such as Affonso I of the BaKongo in the 15th century probably did not discern the purpose of the brand of Christianity that was supplied to them. Which was probably why they fell easy prey to the missionaries and the White traders and pirates who followed them.
But their Japanese counterparts probably did discern the game, even without access to some version of Leopold’s letter. But even if the Japanese Shoguns did not intuit what Leopold makes explicit, they clearly realized the danger of Japanese converts to Christianity forming a fifth column within Japanese society and state, a fifth column loyal to their co-religionists in Europe.

The Winter Solstice - How to apply this Ancient Tradition in Your Life
The Winter Solstice
Was the most important spiritual time in antiquity
The ancients went to the
greatest expense to ascertaining the time of its occurrence as witnessed
by the Great Pyramids of ancient Egypt, Mexico, Stonehenge, etc.
It is the time of year--December 21-24--when man's spirit is most receptive to receive directions from
the will
to manifest changes in behavior
and the accomplishments of new goals in life.
If for example, quitting
smoking was a seemingly impossible challenge to you, meditation during
the winter solstice will prove to be the most propitious time to
eradicate the habit.
It is the best time to move out of a poverty mind set to a wealth mind set, etc.
During the four days of
the winter solstice-12/21 to 12/24 you must spend the majority of the
time in self reflection, meditation and spiritual power rejuvenation
practices.
To assist you in your
preparation and spiritual practices for this most auspicious time of the
year we are offering an online distance learning class.

Black Awareness Day in Brazil! Each November 20th ! Quilumbo Lives !
Celebrate the resistance tradition! The tradition of Zumbi, Besouro, and the countless others who stood for African self-determination!
http://afroeurope.blogspot.com/2012/11/november-20-brazil-celebrates-black.html
November 20 - Brazil celebrates Black Awareness Day
The Day of Black Awareness ("Dia da Consciência Negra" in Portuguese) is celebrated annually on November 20 in Brazil as a day on which to reflect upon the injustices of slavery (from the first transport of African slaves to Brazil in 1594) and to celebrate the contributions to society and to the nation by Brazilian citizens of African descent. It takes place during the Week of Black Awareness. The day is marked on the anniversary of the death of Zumbi dos Palmares (1655–1695), the last leader of the Quilombo dos Palmares. The Day of the Black Awareness. The date was first observed in the 1960s and has been on the school calendar since 2003.
According to Fly Brother, many people in Brazil are celebrating Black Awareness Month. But many others see this particular exercise as unnecessarily divisive and alien to Brazil's culture of "inclusiveness and miscegenation."
And November is the best month to come to Brazil if you want to know more about Afro Brazilian culture because there a lot of activities, according to http://afroatitudes.blogspot.nl/
And because black communities are increasingly connecting with each other a few videos about one of the most dynamic black communities on the globe.

THE LION'S TALE: DE-CODING '12 YEARS A SLAVE'
On Friday, November 15, 2013 1:44 PM, Rudwaan <rudwaan@bellsouth.net> wrote:
De-coding 12 years a slave
The drums are beating, sending messages from the ancestral realm of warnings both bitter and sweet, news of birth and regeneration, news of death and transformation. The Afrikan drumbeat is synchronized to the Afrikan heartbeat, the heart being the seat of memories, memories of past, present and future. Today the Afrikan drums are beating more frantically, its messages picked up by today's mediums, the beat is televised, written in books of Spoken Words, sang in songs of redemption, the Afrikan drums are beating, they who have ears let them hear.
In the recent movie '12 years a slave' the Afrikan drums are beating very loudly and non-stop thruout the movie. From the onset the beat reveals the comfort by which we have settled into an oppressive environment, seeing ourselves as part but not parcel to the seemingly good-life, we dress the part, work the part and refuse to see the contradictions that present themselves every day to us. Contradictions such as a young Blackman struggling to get our attention to alert us to his enslavement before the enslaver approaches and literally forcefully orders him away, we look at these contradictions thru the eyes of the good-cop personified, we rationalize that he must have done something wrong, just as we ignore each other today, I wonder how many Black peoples door Renisha McBride knocked on in Dearborn Heights for help, who ignored her because she is a Black person knocking on doors in this fine upstanding neighborhood, before she was murdered for seeking help? The drums are beating.
The beat tells us, warns us that we are too trusting of Yurugu, while we must take advantage of ways to use them against their own system of oppression to ferment our escape we must not commit our hearts and souls to appearances of virtue and high morals, they are murderers, kidnappers, torturers, pedophiles and they mean to subdue us and reduce us to a status that is less than an animal, to mere property to be treated according to their will. The beat warns us not to struggle with thoughts of 'some are good' we must sleep with one eye open amongst them all as long as we remain subject to their jurisdiction. Trusting Yurugu got Solomon (sun of man) enslaved as he closed both eyes around two smiling seemingly harmless Yurugu males who got him drunk, probably drugged him with a version of 'date rape drugs' and sold him into bondage.
The beat reminds us of the horrors forced on our ancestors, it reminds us of the various mind-states that developed as a result of this horrific oppression, see how the brother who had escaped and was recaptured ran into the arms of his legal (not the same as lawful) owner (enslaver) because life with this enslaver would be better, a relief, from life in the vastly more physically brutal plantations he would be destined for. How grateful we are to these corporations who enslave us with a few dollars, we would lie for them; steal for them while thanking them for allowing us to give them our first-born in exchange to go further into bondage thru the debtor's notes. The Afrikan drums are beating.
The beat tells us that we are at great risk today because of this blind trust and allegiance to a system that appears to be benign but a system under which every 36 hours a Black person is killed (hung) by police (run-away slave bounty hunters) who get paid for our return dead or alive; a system under which Yurugu males of position on the plantation subdue our women forcefully until they bargain their very souls to the devil to remain free from the whip and the cotton fields. Just as today our women are coerced and programmed thru television programs to cheer and be gladiators (slaves who provide entertainment for the enslavers thru fighting each other to the death) as a Black woman playing the part of a Black woman is raped by a plantation owner (The President of the United States) a white man playing the part of a white man as Scandal instead of reparations is the topic of the day, they don't see how day by day they begin to see the whiteman, this very same monster, this murderer, this kidnapper, this liar, this pedophile, this rapist as a viable mating option. The Afrikan drums are beating.
The beat tells us that in these corporations where we compete for positions and attention which both have promises of more income is no different than the Blackman Solomon under duress having to apply whip to the back of the Blackwoman Patsy, it is not instinctive that we betray each other, while Solomon hung from the tree, the other enslaved Afrikans mostly walked around him under duress, some risked their lives to bring him some water but none dared cut him down under duress, it demonstrates the good-cop/bad-cop for which we fall victim to time and time again, not realizing that the system of oppression enriches the good-cop as it does the bad-cop, without the system of oppression how can the good-cop stand out as the good-cop, he is the one that cuts you down from the tree as you pledge your soul to him, thanking him, owing him your very freedom, confiding your plans in him as he informs the system. The Afrikan drums are beating.
The beat tells us that we are on the brink of re-enslavement; that we are walking backwards into enslavement with each progressive step we take further into integration with Yurugu. That we will willingly go into physical bondage because the system, yurugu's system tells us to do so for the sake of National Security, perhaps he will tell us that a threat of nuclear explosion is eminent, how do we validate this? we lack the control and means and thus power over our existence, perhaps he will tell us that an asteroid or giant comet is about to strike the USA and that everyone must go into underground bunkers, he will tell us that for safety sake races will be separated, all Back people will be in one area, we will never see the white people being transported by armed military personnel into these underground bunkers which for our safety will be sealed, locked, and guarded, we don't have the infrastructure to verify that there is no threat to the planet surface, that white people remain free above ground, that we have just been re-enslaved until the torturous reality sets in, until the whippings begin, until the murders, rapes, forced labor begins because this is the only way the USA and its all-liars remain so-called super-powers with the free labor of the Afrikans that built them and made them so. The Afrikan drums are beating, your heart is beating, you are remembering, you are awakening, can you hear the beat?
The beat that tells us we are out of time, that the Demand for reparations is the key that unlocks the bars of time around us, that this demand must be made before to avoid the after. Up you mighty people, the whirlwind is here, open its eye and see yourself within for the eye of the storm is the command center of the storm, whosoever sits therein controls and directs the storm, Yurugu knows this information, that is why he has been busy trying to unlock the Afrikan DNA for therein is the key to the eye, where are all our children disappearing to? Where are the over 5 million Black people who are missing from the census count since 1980? The Afrikan drums are beating. 12 years a slave is actually close 864 years of enslavement which will afford enough time to permanently reduce the Afrikan population, ensure that future generations are permanently inoculated with a subservient mentality, re-establish the USA's position, ensure that Europe survives, and decode the Afrikan genome. UP YOU MIGHTY PEOPLE.
