This blog's mission is to improve Cultural Health, by raising Cultural Literacy and reducing Cultural Poisoning.
With respect to Cultural Literacy, I am focused on Classical African Civilization. With respect to Cultural Poisoning, I will help you understand how to Detect it, Correct it, and most importantly, how to prevent little children from catching it.
This site is for Americans in general and African Americans in particular. Video: Politics to Physical Health
If you do not know what symptoms of Cultural Poisoning sounds like, this short demonstration is a powerful example of nationally famous incidents of poor cultural health. In some of these cases you will recall that the people lost their jobs as a result of their untreated dis-ease. (Video)
We can generally tell a slip of the tongue from underlying conscious or unconscious thinking. Cultural Health is a terrible thing to waste. If you do not want to improve your Cultural Health for moral reasons, or so that you don't make and A$$ out of yourself in public, then do it to best preserve your economic health.
The above type of Cultural Poisoning is fairly easy to detect if you have your RaceDar on. Columbus Day Cultural Poisoning requires you understand some basics about history. So here are some Columbus Day 101 Cultural Literacy corrections to the historical record.
Columbus Day 101
1. The indigenous people of Turtle is Island (America's) are not "Indian's" Indians are from India
2. You can not discover a place where people already live.
3. Columbus was not the first European to visit Turtle Island.
4. The vikings came to this land 500 years earlier and the Africans were here 1500 years earlier.
5. Christopher Columbus was a criminally insane murder and en-slaver of people
6. His visit spread World War Zero (The enslavement of people of color "Slave Trade") to Turtle Island leading to 50 million indigenous dead. This is added to the 100 million Africans that would die in WW0.
7. Columbus's attack on Turtle Island must be understood in the context of of the Cultural War c. 1500 B.C.E. -Present that starts in Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt)
8. The Culturally Healthy Indigenous people of Turtle Island (Native Americans) hold this day as a day as a day of morning.
If we understand Technology as the study of techniques to ease the way for man, then technology actually goes back well beyond the Iphone. That date now pushed back to 1.76 million years before the Iphone. We have come a long way baby.
Speaking of advanced technology, has anyone dug up the Iphone 5 launch date? I mean Apple must be booking some Ad's or renting a launch space or something by now.
One hallmark of Homo erectus, a forerunner of modern humans, was his stone tools, an advanced technology reflecting a good deal of forethought and dexterity. Up to now, however, scientists have been unable to pin a firm date on the earliest known evidence of his stone tool-making.
A new geological study, being reported Thursday in the journal Nature, showed that tools from a site near Lake Turkana in Kenya were made about 1.76 million years ago, the earliest of their ilk found so far. Previous dates were estimates ranging from 1.4 million to 1.6 million years ago.
It is a remarkable time in our history when AA's fought bravely for their freedom. It is good to see these American hero's found and honored in South Carolina.
The two video's in this story by Carloz of MSNBC/Newsvine is a powerful does of Cultural Literacy all American citizens.
Glory II: South Carolina beach city remembers black Civil War soldiers of the 55th Massachusetts Regiment
The discovery and excavation of Civil War Soldiers from the all African-American 55th Massachusetts Volunteers on Folly Beach, South Carolina. This is the only time in American History, Black Civil War Soldiers have been discovered and excavated.
It is interesting that as we enter Black History month, I am reporting on Fox "News" using a map on National TV that literally shows Egypt in the wrong physical position on the earth. Then they go on to also portray a Culturally Poisoned misrepresentation of the history of Egypt. (Video)
I will not even go into the cultural Poisoning associated with trying to take Egypt out of Africa and put it in a Western construct called the "Middle East". Just look at were Fox has placed Egypt, They have removed it from North East Africa and put it in the physical position occupied by Iraq. Wow!
I read a piece on MSNBC/Newsvine that shows as a result of Cultural Illiteracy which, is one of the things Black History Month tries to correct, that most Americans and many in the world did not get what Fox was doing, they thought is was just a mistake. If this were MSNBC or CNN maybe but not at Fox. Rupert Murdoch the foreigner who runs FOX is a cultural terrorists. Fox "News" and Murdock's paper's like the Post in New York City are known by African Americans to be overrun with Cultural Terrorists and other individuals with an over dose of Cultural Poisoning.
IMHO, this was not an accident, just like the Beck "honor" rally designed to dishonor Dr. King and African Americans, the Fox Egypt "error" was designed to dishonor Black history month and African Americans. Do not make the mistake of thinking the hard core conservative right is stupid. The anti-kemetites among them know the value of Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt) to the 2 billion plus Black people worldwide in general and to AA's in particular. The anti-kemites use to spread the Culturally Poisoning myth of the "White Africans" that built Kemet, now that that has been discredited they are spreading their new myth
Let's Go to the Video Tape
Did you hear the commentator and his guest talking about the history of Egypt and the Arabs we are seeing on the streets of modern Egypt. A listener who did not know the history of North Africa would think that the invading Arabs that now occupy Egypt have a "history going back to the Pharaohs", what Cultural Poisoning clap trap. The anti-Kemites have moved from the White African myth to the Arab African myth these dogs won't hunt. The African Pyramids were built by Africans not these myths or the mythical "Jewish" Slaves of the Anti-Kemetic Hollywood of old.
Cultural Literacy Minute: The Arab invaders who now occupy modern Egypt like the Greeks and Assyrians before them have have no more to do with Native Egyptians then us who occupy modern America today have to do with Native Americans.
So cultural poisoning is not just in the Fox map picture but in the Fox words that would cause the unsuspecting to mix up moderns with Natives of Kemet or Natives of turtle island (Ancient America). Fox "news" had the highest percentage of Americans who incorrectly believed that Iraq was part of the 911 attack. That was not a "mistake" because the people at Fox are stupid. The people at Fox wanted their low information audience to believe that particular lie, so they made it so. The question is who controls what you know, or think you know?
In the Obama Kwanzaa Series we have been comparing Obama's principles and performance, especially his second year in office, to each of the seven principles of Kwanzaa. The question on this last day of Kwanzaa is does Obama demonstrate and/or merit the traditional faith of the ancestors?

7. IMANI (Faith) [ee-MAH-nee]
To believe with all our hart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
In Classical African times the people had faith in their leaders the Kings and Queens of Kemet (called pharaohs by the Greeks) and the Kings had faith in their people (Ancestor inclusive). Most of the leaders were fully developed individuals living in the service of their people and building the first greatmulti-ethnic society in recorded history. The great monuments and instructional tools of Classical African Civilization, shine to this day, proclaiming the victory of their struggle. But the King did not do this by him or herself the people helped. The people built the great African pyramids with the King as the greatest public works project in recorded history.
Now we are in a new time, where the Sleeping Giants sat on a wall, and the Sleeping Giants had a great fall, and all the King’s horses and all the kings’ men, even with community organizers, had difficulty putting our community back together again.
Let's Go To The Video Tape
There are children who have had faith in Obama as a parent, there are students that have had faith in Obama as a professor of law and his leadership as a politician is already legendary. He had faith in the American people when we and many in the world had lost faith. I humbly submit to you, that Obama’s "Yes We Can" mission of hope is Kwanzaa'sIMANI in modern practice. Imani's brings with it a special community wide positive energy and we must keep that energy moving all year. This is especially true this year, with a Republican congress and the forces of Cultural Anti-humanism raising their heads in the land.
Last year, I and many Americans said we had faith in the community organizers to deliver Health Care Reform (HCR). Our faith was not misplaced, HCR is now law. In fact, the President kept 127 of his promises to date.We had faith in Obama and he has done his job during his two years in office. It is now time for us to do ours. I do my small part with OFA. The question is, how do you do your part?
It is a great time to be alive and partaking in history. I enjoyed this holiday season (despite the hard times) with my family, that is, my immediate family, my cyber-family, my ethnic family, my national family, yes and even my Newsvine family, tnx guys.
Obama's second years performance as President confirms the fact that he is a good new wave example of the ancient First Fruits Festival principle of IMANI. Our ancesters from Ausar, Heru and Auset to Garvy, King and Fannie Lou Hamer are proud of the President's two year efforts to leave the Nation and the World better and more beautiful then he found it.
Housekeeping note. The enormous jump in the National Cultural Health of the American people in 2008 inspired me to start this Kwanzaa series utilizing the most visible AA from our community, as a popular means of exploring and analyzing the 7 principles. This is the third year of the series and I like to think it gets better every year and that you find it useful.
In the Obama Kwanzaa Series we have been comparing Obama's principles and performance, especially his second year as President, to each of the seven principles of Kwanzaa. The question today is, will Obama be good for our Nation and our ethnic group’s purpose.

5. NIA (Purpose) [NEE-ah]
To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Today there are more than two billion people in the global Black community. To understand this ethnic group and its purpose we must go back, way back, back to the beginning of human kind in history. Our scientists tell us that the oldest people known to exist on the planet are found in Africa. Kemetologists, many archaeologist and our cosmological leaders tell us that Classical African Civilization, Kemet, (Ancient Egypt) was among the first if not the first civilization in recorded history.
Black Africans Built and Ruled Ancient Kemet, we have their pictures and words as factual evidence.
Let's Go to The Video Tape
Speaking of “building”, it is in Kemet that we find the only one of the original Seven Wonders of the World still standing, the African Pyramids. The holiday season in America is full of Cultural Poisoning on TV. Most Americans have seen movies like The Ten Commandments or Cleopatra where Hollywood misrepresents the ethnicity of the people of Classical African Civilization in Kemet and Canaan. We must be sure to give our children and those of good will the antidote reminding them of NIA, and of the great monuments our ancestors erected in their communities as tools that still instruct our purpose to this day.
The Obama Vocation, “Community Organizer”/ builder is an honorable profession. The effective Cultural humanist do not just talk good, but do good everyday for the least among us. I think his track record as a community man qualifies him on this principle of NIA.
But let us now turn to his and our future as Africans in America. Kemet had Golden ages and Intermediate periods (times of Chaos). So it is the case in all civilizations including here in America. Obama has taken office in a time of American Chaos. In this Darkness there is an opportunity for us to join with him and all Americans to build democratic physical and intellectual monuments that will shine in history like the African Pyramids. Yes, NIA can bring us to a new American Golden Age.
Culturally, in the United States there have been two golden ages from an African American perspective, The Civil War, mainly the period right after the war and the positive results of the 1960's. In his second year the President has consolidated a key element of America's third Golden Age by signing Health Care Reform (HCR) into law in March of this African year 12,010 AST (African Standard Time).
Making sick care available to more Americans translates directly into NIA. "To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community..."
In my Elder-hood, I have come to understand that without physical health, Cultural Health will not mean what you think it means.
As I close, let me note that the President did not just make HCR law, he did many things to improve the National Community (AA's included).
Who is Chavez? Did Bush attack Venezuela in 2002. Why did President Chavez call Bush the Devil at the United Nations before all the world's leaders and receive applause.

Aunk:
The Question is, did George Bush try to kill the first African Latino President in South America and "re- enslave" his people? If so, why? If this was done and the American people did not know about it and approve it, is it treason or otherwise against American law?
I wrote this back in 2002 but did not publish it. I thought today "Columbus day", was an appropriate time to revisit this indigenous people of Turtle Island issue. We should move to replace the Culturally unhealthy Columbus day with Native American day honoring our first citizens. This would begin to heal America's World War Zero crimes against humanity. Acknowledging our original sins is a minimum for moving our country forward beyond tolerance to harmony.
The case is won, the court has ruled, all we need to do is get these good American farmers paid their due, but we need you. (Video)
I would think that 98% of these 80,000 family farmers voted for the President and congress. The rest of us who voted for him and expect him to help the middle class are watching.
Bush said, his constituents were the halves and halve mores. We will see if there has been a change.
OK now it is done. Now it is your turn folks. Don't Get angry, get even (by getting results). Remember insurance reform! Use the Tools to beat the fools!
What does Africa and the capital of the United States of America have in common. What is a Tekhen? What is an Obelisk? Do you know where to find these things in the Nation's capital. Come take the hidden tour of Washington, moving back through time to truth. (Video).
If you are like most Americans you are Culturally Illiterate regarding the founding and founders of America and their connection to Masonry and the study of Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt). It is amazing to note that the founders knew that Cultural Poisoning had been so effective that they could place this important information in plain view and no one would be the wiser.
Let's go to the video tape (Part 1 of 3)
As I watched this remarkable video set (prt 2&3 of 3) and listened to the honorable Dr. Jeffries and our tour guide, it struck me how the powers that be (founders) assumed that the masses were asses and would never figure this out. They knew that only those that knew, would know, so there was no need to hide anything.
Think about this for a second, in Kemet everyone knew the Tekhen (Greeks called it an obelisk) and Heru maket (Greek Spinx). All the citizens of Kemet were raised in the context of the Central Worldview (African). Their Cosmologics was common knowledge and they understood the standard metu neter (writing - Greek Hieroglyphics) of their time. Fast foreword to today, and note that most citizens of America are clueless regarding this great legacy left to the world by the shiny ones (ancestors).
I can not tell you how many times I have been to Washington D.C. on business walking through the halls of congress, my name in the Smithsonian institute and having no Idea about the hidden African tour of Washington. How many people live in and/or visit the capital today and still do not know the full reality of what they see.
As the young people say, if you didn't know, now you know. Each one teach one. Keep Cultural Literacy alive. See Akhet Tours for more info.

We had faith in Obama and he has done his job during his first year in office. It is now time for us to do ours.
I have faith that the community organizers, with our help, will deliver “Health” Care Reform - version 1 - in 2010
Obama's first years performance as President confirms the fact that he is a good new wave example of the ancient First Fruits Festival principle of IMANI. Our ancesters from Ausar, Heru and Auset to Garvy, King and fanny lu hamer are proud of the President's first year efforts.

"To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community..."
Without physical health, Cultural Health is not as valuable as it can be.
It is my judgment that Obama is a man of purpose.
The people of the world did not give the Peace prize to our President, they gave it to us the American people, for choosing war over peace in our election. If you want to understand the American Cultural Humanist's point of view on war and peace this is a must see video.
Part 1 of 4 - Watch the whole speech if you have time, if not, watch part 1 and part 4 to get a good understanding of what was said. See Parts 2 to 4 at the end of this video -bottom of screen.
Obama did America proud in shedding light on what most thinking Americans think and feel about war and peace. We have no wish to go around the world killing people and stealing their resources. What an ending, our President gave the world hope as he tried to reactivate its moral compass. Listen to the applause at the speech's conclusion, there is much to be heard in the world's applause.
Archaeologists found the human footprint, imprinted on mud and then hardened into rock, while exploring a prehistoric site in Siwa, a desert oasis in Egypt.

Dr. Ivan van Sertima (26 January 1935 - 25 May 2009 ) Cultural Soldier, historian, linguist and anthropologist at Rutgers University, NJ, USA. We will miss our brother in arms in the Cultural War as he transitions from this earthly plane and we thank him for his contributions.
I read and have most of his books from my first, They Came Before Columbus. I first heard him on Imhotep Gary Bird's radio show in New York City and went down to the Liberation book store in Harlem and got a copy the book about Blacks in America before Columbus, that nobody mentioned in school. Wow, I remember thinking the stone carvings he presented in his book looked just like any brother on 125th Street. For me, the African presence in America was established after reading this book.
The best tribute to the honorable Sesh (teacher in Metu Neter) Dr. V, is to listen to him and absorb his work on your Cultural Literacy journey.
Part 1 of 7 on YouTube
Go to YouTube and improve your Cultural Health with this great Sesh and his contributions. The good news is, that before the Internet, unless you lived in an African Cultural Center in America, it might be hard to be exposed to Dr. V's work. Now you have access to CyberSpace, use it, each one teach one.
I am looking at my bookshelf at the other books of his that are my favorites, Egypt Revisited, Great African Thinkers-Cheikh Anta Diop, Black Women in Antiquity and African Presence in Early Asia. Last but not least I am looking at some of the copies of the Cultural Soldier's professional journal, Dr. V's Journal of African Civilizations from which I learned much.
As I close, I am listening to my friend and neighbor Dr. Jeffries on Imhotep's radio show. He talking about the Great ancestors Dr. Clarke and Dr. Ben and reminding us that Dr. V was part of the next generation of scholars. He continued carrying forward the Cultural Literacy tradition of resurrecting and restoring Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt) by alerting us to their contributions here in early America.
The Bo's first official day, the first family takes him for a walk. It is interesting to contrast this first dog concept with how dogs and cats were valued in Classical African Civilization.
I have been helping my daughter find a dog. Guess what type of a dog she is going to want now?
Cultural Literacy Minute: Cats and dogs were venerated in Classical African Civilization, kemet (Ancient Egypt). Each served a useful purpose in the lives of all Kamau. Cat's would be found in most homes and the Anubis (dog) symbolizes Sebek (the left brain and logical thought)the smart and verbally sharp faculty in humans.
Link warning: The links are informative but filled with cultural poisoning so proceed with your RaceDar on.
"I have heard that history belongs to the victors. This may be true but only on a small time scale. Truth finally catches up. Hippocrates, the Greek physician, is considered to be the father of medicine. This falsehood persists worldwide in spite of growing evidence to the contrary. If medicine does have a parent, it is East Africa. In 2009, I published an article in the Townsend Letter entitled 'The Eastern Track of Medicine: From East Africa to South India—and Beyond' to put forth my hypothesis concerning the African origin of the earlier healing traditions."
"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?"
If you can get hardcore thugs to move from f*$k the President to "MY" President, WoW! now that is real CHANGE. Warning: "N" Word Alert, this is not for the culturally sensitive.
I was in New York City at The Great Debate (Is Obama Good For Black People). One of the speakers a local politician on the YES side of the debate pointed out that he had just come back from a meeting with the Crips and the Bloods in Crooklyn (Brooklyn) and they were talking chillin on the killin and how can we help the country.
Everybody knows that the New Americans have done something for America. What ever they have done is in Obama and it is coming out in the most remarkable places and unusual faces.

Tricky Dick Cheney as president of the Senate declares Obama President to a standing Ovation in a joint house session. This week Bush gave his last Press conference. (Video)
The good news is that the inauguration is next week and Bush will no longer sit on the thrown that voter suppression and the rogue Republican Supreme "Court" placed him on in 2000.
Cheney Declares Obama President To Standing Ovation in Joint House Session + 8 Years Back!
As we leave the Bush disaster era we should not forget how this treasonous era started lest we repeat the risk to our constitution in the future. As the video shows there were precious few who stood up for us the people, while most of the elected sheepeople where asleep at the switch at best.
I won't waste your time with a video of Bush's last press conference. To sum it up, Bush is leaving as dumb or evil, as the case may be, as he came in. He does not admit to the Bush Iraq war, to his Katrina disgrace, American world disgrace, or the Bush/Republican induced Depression. He said he thought trying steal American Social Security pensions and put them into his Wall Street forty thieves gambling house of cards, that has since collapsed, was simply a marketing timing error.
As the grand old lady of the press corps has reported, I have one thing to say to Bush, History can not save you.
Like "remember the Alamo", one hundred years from now, there will be AA's saying "remember Katrina", and all Americans will be saying "remember Bush".

He had faith in the American people when we and many in the world had lost faith. I humbly submit to you that Obama’s Yes We Can mission of hope is IMANI. Imani brings with it positive energy and we must generate that energy especially this year.
I have faith that the community organizers, with our help, will deliver Universal “Health” Care in 2009
Obama is a good new wave example of the ancient First Fruits Festival principle of IMANI
