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.

When are WE going to get over it?

"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?"

White Priest at Obama's Church Makes YouTube Loop

Father Micheal Pfleger preaches about White privilege and denial using Hillary as an example, causes fire storm. This seems to be the last straw in Obama's decision to resign from his Chicago church.


Father Pfleger Rant - Final Straw or Obama Exit Strategy?



Well, I can say without fear of contradiction, Obama sure knows some fiery preachers. I would not have made that speech, nor would I have resigned from this open, flexible, pull no punches , high energy church. I may not agree with everything they say but you have to admit these folks will keep you awake on Sunday. But then again, I am not running for President of the United States of America.

If we take the unfortunate  reference to Hillary out ,  Father  Mike sounds like he was making a useful cultural poisoning point about denial of White Privilege in  America.  This is  another "clip" of something  I would like to  see  the  full speech on.

Was this the final straw or Obama's exit strategy? It was a little of both. Obama and family were talking about the attack by Republicans hacks on him and on the church. He cannot control what happens at Trinity Church, this is politically problematic. The church has done great work in the community and is now getting death threats. Obama's decision to resign from the church is probably, on balance, the best thing for Obama's campaign and his former church and the people of that community who need the unhampered services of that institution. 

Speaking the full context, here is a part of Father Mike's speech defending African American leaders and Cultural Soldiers, that you did not see looped in the corporate media.

Father Pfleger Defends Farrakhan, Wright, and even Obama


Did you notice the Culturally Healthy mud cloth on the podium. Finally what should European Americans take away from this continuing surprise about what goes on in the Black church. Church, is one of the places that African Americans and their friends speak freely. You may not like what you hear but if you want to, "hear" Black people, church is one place you should listen to.

Cultural Literacy is a terrible thing to waste
