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
Obama makes a remarkable speech about one of the most important elements of Cultural Health, fatherhood and the family as rocks in our foundation. (video 23 min)
Talking about fatherhood in the AA community is a road with many pitfalls, it requires courage, love and understanding. Thinking about fatherhood and being the best dad you can be requires these things too. I think about my father Marlin on this day and I think about my children and my fatherhood. I think about my mate's father who just passed yesterday and her relationship to her dad. As Dad. Obama says we will be imperfect father's but we must try to be the best fathers we can be.
Someone once said to me that the most important thing a dad can do, besides being in the home, is letting his children see him be respectful and loving to mom. I can't disagree with that. In fact, I would assert that it is the love and respect that Mom and Dad reflect in each other that will or will not be reflected in their children.
If roles, respect and love are in order in the family than the family is in order. Your Cultural Health mission for today is, should you decide to accept, to think about the state of roles, respect and love in your family and what you can do to strengthen it.
The local Drug dealers (Drug store) has Isles of so called OTC cold "medicine". But no one from MediPlext mentions my experience that Vitamin D prevents colds. My Vit D blood level is 94.5 ng/ml. At that level I have never seen a cold and I keep my family's level up too, how about you.
Democratic Health Reform is not just about sick care but helping Americans take responsibility for our own Health Care.
Do I think J&J would be doing a recall if we had a Republican President, not likely. Pay attention in 2012, the life you save could be your own.

Another Tylenol Recall
It’s yet another recall from the makers of Tylenol.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, announced Tuesday afternoon that it was recalling more of its over-the-counter Tylenol products. In a statement, the company said that it was conducting a voluntary consumer recall of one product lot of eight-hour extended-release caplets because of a “musty or moldy odor.”
About 718,000 bottles or packages of Tylenol, Benadryl and Sudafed products were involved in the recall. Here’s a complete list of affected products.
Geraldine Ferraro Dies At 75 failing to apologizes to the American people or the AA community. As a VP candidate, Ferraro was the Democratic Sarah Palin of old. Ferraro faced two dis-eases. She died of of blood cancer but also suffered from Cultural Poisoning.
I send my condolences to her family and friends. It is an ancient African tradition that we must all learn from the life of our public figures, good and not so good, as they leave this plane. This is done not to throw stones, but that our lives are better having understood the full measure of the person.
Having said that, I think America would have been standing on sounder ground if Mondale Ferraro won in 1984, instead of Reagan Bush. The Dem team with its faults, would not have attacked the unions and womans rights as the Republicans have.

Geraldine Ferraro Dies At 75, A Trailblazing, Controversial VP Candidate
On November 6, 1984, Geraldine Ferraro, the nation’s first woman vice presidential candidate, along with running mate Walter Mondale for president, lost the race in a landslide to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Today she died at age 75 at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was being treated for blood cancer.
Alexandra Wallace,European American UCLA student who created the offensive Asians in the library viral video withdrawing from school under cultural Pressure. (Video)
Here is the story, You have to hear this to believe that a young women could be so culturally poisoned at to throw away all her hard work at university. This dis-ease can be very costly if not caught in time. Cultural Poisoning does not pay.
LET's Go To The Video Tape
If you type in Asians in the Library into YouTube you will find that millions have watched this video, versions of it, or commentary on it. Now, if Africans could product this type of response when someone uses the "N" word. These are my thoughts on the matter as first published on MSNBC/Newsvine.
Hetep and Respect PK Siclair,
but for this girl to make a video and express such unintelligent, misguided thoughts and post it on YouTube is inappropriate and, yes, racist.
" So we know that I am not the most "politically Correct" person" These Republican Social Conservative code words suggest that she is from a hard core Cultural Anti-humanist family.
You are right, if the parents suffer the dis-ease and it is not corrected the children will catch it. And if the dis-ease is severe enough, the children in a dangerous state of Cultural disorientation might get on YouTube and try, like a deranged AIDs patient, to spread the dis-ease.
"Old" Asian people, denotes the absence of the concept of elders. In the West the culture calls senior members of their society old people. In the Central Worldview (African) and the Eastern Worldview (Asian) Senior members of society are thought of as honored elders. There is a big difference in cultural orientation with respect to experience and wisdom in the Western Worldview compared to the Majority Worldviews in the world.
"...They don't teach their kids to fen for themselves..." an example of the Western excessive individualism core value. The communal value of high regard for family friends and fellow citizens is not in this persons spirit. Want to bet that she and her parents are also against ACA that give health care access to 33 million of her fellow Americans.
Now the danger is to this young lady's children? What will she teach them? What will be their state of Cultural Health?
On a positive note:
Behind the cultural poisoning is a valid point, you should not be on the phone in the library, especially not during finals. She was civil in her response with the "shsss".
Her fellow students, in the majority at the school, recognized the Cultural Poisoning even if they did not call it that and applied appropriate corrective cultural pressure. She got a similar dose of Cultural Pressure on YouTube itself from around the world.
The good news is that UCLA is a more culturally health place today then in my day, and so is the world.
The question is, did this young girl learn from her cultural poisoning symptoms being exposed?
P.S. here is an Asian American trying in a light hearted way to hold a Cultural Poisoning mirror up to Alexandra Wallace. White Girls in The Library (just in case you thought Asians were not offended by the denigration of their ethnic group).
For my AA brothers and sisters you will note that you do not see Asian Americans denigrating themselves. They do not call themselves the ".."N" Word..." and make it known when they or their group is disrespected, The ball is in your court. You get respect if you give it, to yourself first.
It is not to late to say happy International Womens Day to the Women in your life. But don't blow it next year.
The earliest record of Women's rights of comes into recorded history more then 12, 000 years ago in Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt). We have the letters of husbands to wives and visa-versa. Women could sue in their husbands in court. A queen could and did run the Nation in ancient times.
The shinny ones (Ancestors) taught the following which, is still true today. The Queen Mother of my children is my other half, together we make one whole parent, more or less.
“Women’s Rights are Workers’ Rights:” Kavita Ramdas on History of International Women’s Day and Challenges Women Face 100 Years Later
Thousands of events are being held worldwide to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. A handful of European countries first marked the day in 1911 following a declaration by the Socialist Party of America. The United Nations has recognized March 8th as International Women’s Day since 1975. Kavita Ramdas of the Global Fund for Women joins us to discuss the history of International Women’s Day, the most pressing issues women face today, and the connection between women’s rights and the fight for workers’ rights in Wisconsin.

This is not a good sign. The operations and the drugs will not make her more healthy. Now we have blood leaking out of her, not a good sign.
Serena Williams, out of action since winning Wimbledon in July, has experienced another significant health problem. Her representatives confirmed that she was hospitalized last month in Los Angeles because of a pulmonary embolism and then required further emergency treatment Monday for a hematoma, a pocket of blood that swells under the skin.
A pulmonary embolism — a clot that blocks blood flow to the lungs — can be life threatening, but Williams’s spokeswoman, Nicole Chabat, said in a statement Wednesday that “thankfully everything was caught in time” and that Williams was resting and recovering at her home in Los Angeles.
The 42 commandments of Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt/Nubia), were as widely know in the ancient civilized world, as the ten commandments are known in the civilized world of today. (Video)
Here stands an African American still reciting these ancient commandments today.
:Let's Go To The Video Tape
In this version of the 42 Declarations of Freedom from Sin it is interesting to note that the Sister says I have not committed treason against my ancestors. She is hear talking about Cultural Treason. She also talks about Ma'at. To find out more about Ma'at and the worldviews that enable one to distinguish Cultural Treason Click Here.
Now let's rewind to early Classical African Civilization (CAC) c. 4500 B.C.E. , and the African Astro-psychology charts. What we will see is the original cosmology that is today seperated into the "modern" disciplines of Astronomy, on the one hand and Astrology and Psychology on the other. Here we see the earlyest concept in recorded history of universal laws "Jupiter" representing the ntr law of Tehuti and justice "Mars" representing the force of Nature Herukhuti. It is from these cosmologics that the basic 11 laws flow.
Fast forward now to the Nuk Au Neter (African Bible) which, stands as the ancient testament, in relation to say the old and new testaments of modern Christianity. These holy scriptures are the source of the decelerations of freedom from sin, also known as the positive assertions (mis-named Negative confessions by Cultural Terrorists). Initiates in the Kemetic spiritual system judged themselves daily, and at the end of their lives, using Ma'at, (law, ridiculousness, love, balance)
So what you have seen in this year of the African Star Date c. 12,010 A.S.D., is a modern African in America continuing the legacy of the shiny ones (ancestors). It is one thing to read about the 42 Commandments, it another to see a modern mut brining herself to judgement daily on her path of spiritual development. Amen, Aaaaaamen, Amen!
Cultural Literacy Minute: The African Bible has been historically mis-named in the West as the "Book of the Dead" because it was found with the dead by Culturally Illiterate invaders who robed the graves of Kemet. The pert em heru (book of coming forth by day) which, is simply a title of one of the chapters of the Nu Au Neter, is a name usually lovingly given the African holy scriptures.
What cultural technology do you use to judge yourself daily?
I have asked the mother of my children and all my children to see this video. There are a lot of things about our physical health we do not have control over, cosmetics is not one of them.
A Cultural Health note, did you notice the skin lightening cream in this video? Cultural Poisoning and Chemical Poisoning have a family resemblance. How are things in your family?
Black AIDS organizations, as well as some Black Clergy, Black politicians and Black sports figures have been encouraging African Americans to take HIV tests and to take HIV/AIDS drugs. In making these recommendations it is clear that these individuals and groups have failed to research the debate over the validity of the HIV tests and whether HIV is really the cause of AIDS. On the other hand, doctors, scientists and researchers for years have been challenging the HIV/AIDS hypothesis. Few in the Black community have heard their objections. Let's go to the video tape for some of those objections.
HIV/AidS Doctors and patients, this trailer should alert you to the fact that House of Numbers is a must see if you have an interest gathering all the information on both sides of the HIV/AIDS debate.
TEN REASONS NOT TO TAKE The HIV TEST
1. None of the manufacturers of the HIV tests guarantee the accuracy of their tests.
2. There are about 70 things that can trigger a false positive.
3. Test results vary over time. you can test positive one day and negative the next day.
4. Test results vary between hospitals.
5. Test results vary between countries. There is no international HIV test standard.
6. Test results vary depending on which test kit is used.
7. The HIV tests do not look for HIV in your body. The tests just look for chemical reactions which have never been proven to have anything to do with HIV.
8. The personal information you give can impact test results.
9. If you start taking typical HIV/AIDS drugs, you will be poisoning your body in a manor that can cause your death.
10. No HIV virus has ever been isolated.
We in the African American Community must wake-up and start thinking for ourselves! We must take a serious look at the debate over HIV/AIDS and start asking serious questions.
Cultural Commentary: Cultural Health is facilitated by physical health. Medical literacy is a prerequisite to physical health. From the original view of medicine in recorded history, Central Worldview, Kemet, an Eastern tract and a Western tract emerge and are with us today. Non of these three major medical philosophy/sciences have all the answers to all health issues. I use a doc that knows all three views, how about you?
In Classical African Civilization,Kemet (Ancient Egypt/Nubia) the feminine principle and its roles, rights and place in the cosmos was well understood and mapped out. The Kemetic Woman's rights exceeded that of most of the nation's that followed her in ancient history. (Video)
Black history Month was in February and Woman's history month is in March. This seems fitting in the new multi-ethnic, multi-genda, power sharing America of the twenty first century. In the interest of Cultural Health, use this opportunity to improve your cultural literacy regarding the position and treatment of women in the context of the three major worldviews, Central (African,) Eastern (Asian) and Western (Caucasian).
Let's start with the one I am most familiar with.
The following video will introduce you to some of the Values Interests and Principles (VIP's) attendant to the Central Worldview (African) as manifested in KAmetic Cosmologics and the social life of the Kametic woman.
Thank you Queen Mother Marera Kwesi for shedding light through your video presentation from the Mother Land. Now some in the AA community might take technical issue with this presentation in some respects however, most would support the fact that the presentation gives a good account of feminine principles in Kemet. What is important to note is the mode of thinking associated with this worldview. We don't say father land as in the Western worldview we say Mother land. This is an example of a fundamental difference in the cosmologics of the two worldviews. Having said that, you should not confuse the matrilineal with matriarchy. The neters of mother nature in kemet from Auset and Het Heru to Ma'at' and Sekerk, the feminine principle embodied in woman played critical interdependent roles in kemetic life.
While we all see the same things in nature (ntr), we and our ethnic groups do not all come to the same conclusions about what we see. It is a working understanding about these different conclusions that is referred too as Cultural Literacy.
This month is a good time to do serious research and/or thinking about the role of women in your ethnic group with its VIP's. What is the role of women in the ethnic groups you interact with? If you have ever been on the ground in retail, selling big ticket items like Washers and Dryers or big screen TV's, you have come to understand that women and the family play very different roles in the decision process of buying these items. As a practical matter, you come to learn quickly, that as a Sales person, your pay is dependent on your Cultural Literacy, as errors can be fatal to the sale.
I will close with a question. In writing pieces on Black history month (BHM), from time to time I run into a reader who asks, why have BHM. They imply that BHM is unnecessary, the next thing you know we will have woman's history month, Irish History month, etc.
For myself, from a Cultural Literacy point of view, I would welcome such months to learn about my fellow Americans in this multi-ethnic Nation. My Question is, who is against Woman's History month?
P.S. Do not tell me, if you have not first told your wife.
Health Care Passes for the American people 219-212. Almost as important, is the fact that the Republican party committed suicide on national TV and on the Internet. (Video)
This week Republicans in the Tea Party openly used the "N" word and spit on African American congress persons. Last night I watched Republican leadership curse on the floor of the house during the end of the health care debate. One congress person yelled calling a pro-life democrat a baby killer.
It is in this backdrop that we have adults doing what I hired them for, pass health insurance reform.
Let's go to the video tape.
Republican Leader says "Hell" NO! President says this is what changes looks like.
Compare the words of the adults vs. the anti-humanists, then take my advice.
Elect no Republican for 100 years.
It is a simple choice, what is more in your and our country's best interests, the "N" Word, or 33 million more of our fellow Americans with access to sick care. In the end, the Republicans did this to themselves.
Focusing on our future, there is more work to be done. We need to get reconciliation through the Senate and the bill signed. As law, we all need to help make the bill work. It won't be perfect, but we must highlight the good elements and tell the stories of the Americans who are helped by the reform. We must also focus on things that go wrong and move quickly to fix them.
In the new America, the best Democrats, will be Republicans who get sick.
President Obama went to the House Republican retreat in Baltimore for a one on one knock down drag out thriller in Manila. The champ kicked some serious butt. (Video)
This performance was just unbelievable. Could you imagine George Bush, father or son, daring to stand before house Democrats, they would be torn to shreds. It is remarkable what a cultural humanist, armed with the facts, can do against the forces of anti-humanism. We citizens of good will better acquire and demonstrate the same skills when talking to our Republicans friends. What do you think?
Is it possible, that Ted Kennedy’s hard core Democratic state of Massachusetts, could elect a Republican? Step to the plate and go on the record before the election. How do you bet?
Ted Kennedy's life work was focused on getting health care reform passed. Just as this great deed is about to happen, could the Massachusetts people, elect a Republican, that is against everything that the great Kennedy name stands for? Or, is it just Republican Tea Party hype?
Personally, I don't think such an upset is possible. As long as I can remember, Mass has been a working class Democratic state. Working class people need health care, without Insurance Company "preexisting condition" dirty tricks. It's a no brainer, right.
However, as Dr. Martin Luther King's holiday approaches, I also remember, that when Dr. King brought the Civil Rights Battle North in the 1960's, he was shocked. He said, he ran into some of the most hateful "race" crowds he had ever seen in Mass. I remember the pictures, they made to South look like Boy Scouts. Have the Tea Party gang tapped something the main stream media has missed?
I hope not, but now it is time to go on the record. Who will win in Mass on Tuesday Jan 16th in the Special Election?
The Jameson Sista's are on point on and off the track. Keep a sharp eye on these up and comers. Name:Tameka Jameson, Kecia Jameson Age:20 Sport: Track & Field Major: Sports Administrations Minor: Communication Studies
We attened Eleanor Roosevelt High School that's where our
competetive spirit for the sport of Track & Field began. We had the opportunity
to work with Coach Desmond Dunham ( Founder of AAU summer T&F program The DC

does to this day.
For the full story hit the link and tell me what you think.
The New York Times has demonstrated that The Straight Talk Express has crooked wheels.
Actually the wheels on the bus were crooked before the NYT pointed them out. Lets go to the video tape!
The best way for Obama to beat Bush/McCain in the general election is simply to stand next to him and let him speak. If you are disingenuous and economically incompetent it is not likely you can slip this past the electorate. That's why the poll's say Obama 48% McCain 40% if the general election were held today.
