Black History Month, Cultural Health and Physical Health go Hand in Hand

As we come to the end of Black History month it is interesting to note that this historic time reunites three things that most Americans do not connect but should. The three things are Black People, Medical Technology and the Presidency.(Video)


World Health Organization Symbol

It is interesting to note that in this African year c.12,009 (2009) we are living a remarkable almost unthinkable chapter in Black history month. This chapter will be revisited in Black history month for century's to come. If we are fortunate the Cultural Health of the world will rise to a point when Black history month is no longer needed as the non-culturally poisoned history of Black people in America and the world will be a natural inclusive part of American and world history once again.

Speaking of history, one of President Obama's three top investment priorities is health care. So everyone should be trying to learn about the American system, other systems and partaking in the discussion of what the new an improved American "Health" Care system should be. This presents a Black History month Cultural Literacy Minute opportunity.

Have you seen the Magic Wand of Ti Huti (Caduceus) medical symbol that is the lead picture in this article. How about the RX on drugs (medical recipes). Watch the Ashra Kwesi video at the Per Ankh (Name of the first hospitals in recorded history) in Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt).




So here we learned about the great African doctor Imhotep thousands of years before the Greek Hippocrates. History tells us that Hippocrates studied at an African Per Ankh (hospital) at the medical hub of the then civilized world. We also see the Origin of the Rx of the Doctor. Now "Drugs" is a specialty managed by druggist. In Imhotep's (Greek Aesculapius) time all doctors made medical recipes. And finally you saw carved in stone the same medical tool set more or less that you will find in operating rooms and doctors black bags to this very day.

Note: While Hippocrates is the most widely known doctor in Western history and Imhotep is the most widely known doctor in African history Ti Huti is actually the first doctor in recorded history to emerge from the smoke of the ancient past. Imhotep in fact studied in the Ti hutic school. The Greeks transliterate this ancient figure as Hermes.

Shocking White Poverty in South Africa (video)

To some extent, the economic playing field has been leveled since the end of apartheid 15 years ago. But that has had another impact — white poverty has doubled since 1994. As reported by Worldfocus




If African Americans suffer poverty in a European American controlled Turtle Island (America) and African Europeans suffer poverty in African controlled Azania (South Africa), What does this mean for Cultural Health worldwide? Will it help us understand the need to reduce poverty everywhere?

I have to admit of all the videos I might have imagined coming out of Azania, this is not one of them. How do we think about this reality in terms of  Cultural Literacy and the Central Worldview (African).

Poll: President Says Health Care is on the 2009 Front Burner

President Obama in his historic speech to a joint session of congress and the American people said that investment in Green jobs, Health care for all and education are the investment priorities going forward.

After addressing the economy and his plans for it in the way of the recently passed recovery and investment act and the coming fixing of the Bush broken banks issues, the president turned to the three legs of his investment plan.

Of the three, Universal “Health” care (UHC) is the investment I am most interested in. There was some speculation that it might be off the table. So I was overjoyed to here that not only is it on the table, but on the table for 2009. Even more uplifting was when I thought the President was talking to me personally – expanded health care for soldiers and our Vet’s”.

I feel good today and I am looking for those rubber bands to help me keep my sleeves rolled up. Where do you stand on UHC?

I want to see all Americans get the same health care plan that we give our congress persons.

Yes - single payer
Yes - non-single payer
No to UHC
Other Explain

Now is the time for you to start thinking of what you want in the way of health care for yourself and your fellows. We can look at the best practices of UHC nations and create the best “health” care system on the planet.

Alan Kayes an Example the Republican Party is Dead

This video of the African American Republican Keyes confirms that the Republican party is officially dead. If Keyes, Steele and Limbaugh are the best leaders they can come up with, no Republican will be elected in America for 100 years.




There is an interesting Cultural Health insight that can be gained from Alan Keyes. watching him brings to mind David Duke (Republican Grand Wizard of the KKK). Keyes and Duke are poster children for Cultural Poisoning in their own ethnic group. They are sort of Cultural Poisoning book ends.

It is also interesting to note that Keyes and Duke are not Joe the Plumber and Palin. They are both exceptionally intelligent and well read, so why do they say the things they say and do? Answer, extreme Cultural Poisoning.

This is such a great time for Cultural Health progress, symptoms of psychosocial dis-ease are popping out of the Republican party like popcorn in a frying pan.

Mass March on the POST at High Noon

Last night Rev.Al Sharpton call for my neighbors to march in protest on The New York Post at high noon. The Governor and other public officials have weighed in on the "race" cartoon code that has offended the African American community and people of good will.



The Post is the "News" disgrace of my home town. I have not bought the paper in 30 years. The post as been identified a the most racist big paper in America by African American leaders and organizations. This is just another example.

Readers might be surprised to know that we ran this paper in to bankruptcy years ago because of their Cultural Poisoning. An African American brought the paper and fired the raciest reporters and they refused to be fired by a Black man and came to work any way. When you are talking the Post you are talking long time hard core enemies of African Americans.

CEMOTAP (Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive To Afrikan People. has tagged them as such and has been boycotting them for years. Dr. J, Dr. Ben and virtually every cultural soldier I know has condemned the NY Post. Rupert Murdoch is one of the most dangerous cultural terrorist in the world, this latest incident at his Post uncovers to more people he and his organization's cultural orientation.

The question is what should be done about it. This is America and there is free speech. If you are a person of good will and you buy the paper stop like I did. Reduce or don't use myspace go to facebook. Hit the owner in his pocket book.

2/20/09 Update: A first for the New York Post, up until now thought to be impossible, something I never expected to see in my life time, the Post "apologized" for offending African Americans. After hundreds marched, thousands clogged their phones, hundreds of thousands of bloggers fired up the blogOshere and millions commented the Post cried uncle. In the new era of responsibility pressure has and effect. Details Click Here

Obama Recovery and Investment Plan goes on Offensive.

President Obama said it is time to fish or cut bate. He has gone directly to the American people to sell his American Recovery and Investment Plan.



Imagine that a plan and committee to oversee how the money is used and a website designed so you and I can follow the money trail and the progress to the 3 to 4 million jobs ourselves.

The Bush Republicans have not provide any such tool for the people to monitor what they were doing in their history. Nor will you ever see such a monitoring device regarding any Republican bill or plan in your life time.

Let's get the jobs bill passed this week so we can get on with getting "Health" Care for all Americans this year.

Micheal Steele and Republican Cultural Poisoning

Micheal Steele the new head of the GOP is an example of Republican Cultural Poisoning. The bigger question is, will he heal or divide the Republican Party as its new African American head.

Michael Steele outlines conservative ideas in Civitas speech


Now that Bush is dead there has been much speculation as to who is in charge of the Republican Party. McCain/Palin, Rush Limbaugh or Joe the Plumber. Answer, Non of the Above, it is a Black guy named Steele. No, really, I'm not kidding.

In January of 2009 Micheal Steele was elected the first African American chairman of the Republican National Committee. It is remarkable that I have seen very little about this development in the MSM news.

The question is what does this development mean, has the Republican party changed its spots? Will this split the African American vote in the Democratic party in the future and give Republicans an edge?

Let me give you my opinion from a Cultural Health point of view. I do not believe Steele will change the political landscape by even one vote one way or the other. Look at the recent Zero Republican vote against American Job creation. He is a Republican and therefore the best that can be expected is business as usual.

Now regarding his effect on the African American community. Most AA's don't know Steele but they will soon. The AA's who know him know that he has a history of exhibiting symptoms of Cultural Poisoning. His recent Republican Values Civitas speech is a prime example.

Michael Steele said: “…Conservatives (including himself) believe in the ideal of a color blind society so each man or woman is treated as an individual and not as a member of some hyphenated class or group.

Anyone with their racedar on detected two major symptoms of Cultural Poisoning in Steele's conservative ideal, "Color Blind" and "Hyphenated Group". These are two well known doublespeak phrases typically used by non African Americans in the perpetuation of Cultural Poisoning.

Cultural Literacy Minute: African Americans have no interests in seeing other Americans all of a sudden go blind. There is enough psychosocial dis-ease in America we don't need to add a new illness.

Steele's use of the phrase hyphenated American is a direct insult to his ethnic group and a demonstration of his Cultural Illiteracy.

While the AA community my not use the Cultural Health technical terminology Cultural Poisoning and/or Cultural Traitor The famous Steele Oreo cookie incident (2002 gubernatorial debate) is a demonstration that they have detected Steels Cultural Orientation with sufficient accuracy.

Now to the bigger question for the Republicans. Will Steele heal or divide the Republican Party as its new African American head.

Will Steele bring "Change" to the Republican party? First let me say I seem to have heard that word CHANGE somewhere before. The only new idea I have heard from Steele is the slogan "Drill Baby Drill" picked up by McCain/Palin. The real problem for the Republicans is that the Taliban wing of their party are never going to be lead by a Black person. You remember the Palin mobs hollering "kill him". These type of extreme David Duke anti-humanists have told the press plainly what they think.

The Republicans seem to have degenerated into a sort of old time southern regional party. Where will the hard core go? Not to the Democrats, will they defect to the Libertarian party?

Is politics getting crazy or is it me? What do you think is going to happen with Steele, will he last a year?

"For much of the last forty years, ever since America “fixed” its race problem in the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, we white people have been impatient with African Americans who continued to blame race for their difficulties. Often we have heard whites ask, “When are African Americans finally going to get over it?"

Poll: ARI – Will Senate Republicans Vote Party or People

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

House Republicans voted against The American Recovery and Investment (ARI) bill. The question this week is how will the Republicans in the Senate vote? Will they be a bipartisan vote for the people or a party vote?

Most Americans agree Bush and the Republicans drove the economy into its present depression ditch (A.k.a recession). Most agree that Stimulus is needed. The question is what does stimulus mean? Broad answer is stimulus is not just jobs. You can, and we will, measure stimulus success by the jobs created over time with new tools like recovery.gov. The Stimulus America needs is in three parts, Short term jobs (shovel ready), mid tem jobs (1-2 years out) and future investment. Some have said take all elements that do not produce instant jobs out, wrong. This three part approach is the moral high ground that America must stand on.

The Obama-Limbaugh stimulus


I would like to see a bullet list of the major elements of the ARI Bill and what the Republicans are for and against. For instance, I support the automated “health” record in the ARI. Do the Republicans? Do you? I would like to see people go on the record as to what they are for and what they are against.

Rush Limbaugh has told the Republicans to fight the people. He has told his fellow Republicans to stop the bill at any cost.

Are you for the Democratic three part plan or the Limbaugh one part plan? How will the Republicans vote? Will the vote take place next week, two weeks, when?
Will Senate Republicans vote for their party and against the American people like the house? I think a Republican is a Republican they line up and will not change their spots depending on what house they are in. They have become the party of mono-thought there are no individuals left that risk standing out.
