Columbus Day 2013 - American Cultural Literacy 101

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.

Barack Obama Speaks on Father's Day (case you missed it)

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 Obama Kwanzaa Series Day 6 of 7 2010

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, does he embody the principle of Creativity? (Video)

The Judgement Scene is the most famous of Classical African Paintings.
It is where we in America get our scale of justice from and our jury system

6. KUUMBA (Creativity) [koo-OOM-bah]

To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

As it is our tradition, we look to Classical African Civilization, Kamet (Ancient Egypt) for a sound understanding of this principle. The oldest Kemetic monument demonstrating creativity is Harmaketh (What the Greeks called the Sphinx) which has been standing some 12,000 years now. The secret of Harmaketh is a powerful tool to those who know it. The Great African Pyramids built by the father, son and grand son at Giza, are the only one of the original seven wonders of the world still standing. To this day no one has demonstrated the creativity to build such buildings. Last but not least is the Ankh, used by the ancient ones as both a symbol and a model and handed down to us are a reminder of our legacy.

Let us fast forward to the present for a minute.

I recently met a young AA woman at my son's house, she noticed that on my cloths there were a number of Ankhs. She asked me if I was the Ankh man. I told her that it was part of my African name, Nuu Ma'at Aunk. My daughter told her that her name was AunkT (T- is the feminine form in Metu Neter). I was struck by the power and pride in my daughters voice as she spoke. To our surprise, the young lady proclaimed that she has an Ankh tattoo. My daughter asked her where she had it and the young lady pulled back her hair to revealed a beautiful Ankh on her neck.

I asked her what caused her to get the Ankh Tattoo? She said that when she was eighteen she just decided. I have had this experience many times with young people. I told her that it was her ancestral memory kicking in, and as she learns about the Ankh, it will server her and her children well all the days of her life.

Now we will rewind one last time.

The Judgment of Ausar (Who the Greeks called Osiris)
Cultural Literacy Warning: The Culturally Poisoned name "Book of the Dead" (used by Arab grave robbers to describe the Kamitic scriptures) is used in the title of the video please disregard. Dr. Amen reconstituted the proper name as Nuk Au Neter.



What you have seen in this video is a reasonable introduction to Kamitic creativity regarding African Cosmologics as represented in the most famous Kamitic painting. However, the music and some of the language must be taken with a Cultural Health grain of salt. 


Like we are today creatively using the 7 positive principles of Kwanzaa to make a judgement about the President, the classical Africans did not just use this judgement scene at death but nightly when they would creatively use 42 positive assertions to judge their daily behavior. I still use the 42 to this day.

Back here in the present, the matter at hand is Obama's creativity. As a multi-ethnic person left on his own to figure our his legacy and mission in life, he certainly had to be creative to come to the clear Culturally Healthy African American understanding that he now demonstrates.

His historic campaign and Presidency is a remarkable exercise in both cultural and political creativity that will be studied in all times by all peoples.

His first law in his first year was equal pay for equal work in his second year he signed Health Care Reform into law. His brilliance and creativity have enabled him to have a tremendously productive first two years in office (Video).  Think about Kuumba for a minute, will each of the laws he signed in this video leave our National community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it?

I gave the President and "A" for his first year and I rate him  "A" for his second year of remarkable creativity. I think it is fair to say, that he has been a better creativity role model for our community then many popular AA personality's like Juan, Muslims make me nervous, Williams or Clarance, Blacks should not be allowed to vote, Thomas.

The Obama Kwanzaa Series Day 5 of 7 2010

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).

Top 10 Democratic Accomplishments during the 111th Congress

It is my judgment, in this second year of his Presidency, that Obama is still a man of purpose.

What is your judgment.

In his first year the President took the Republican legal dirty tricks out of the equal pay for women's equal work implementation. Got Health Care for millions of American children that did not have it before. and Last but not least, he is the first of seven Presidents that have tried to get health reform, to actually get a Health Reform bill passed by both houses of congress.

Well, I would say the President gets an "A" for first year creativity. I think it is fair to say, that he has been a better creativity role model for our community then many popular AA personality's like Tiger Woods.

It is my judgment that Obama is a man of purpose.

A Culturally Healthy Holiday Greeting to You From Aunk

Don't Step on a Cultural third rail this holiday season, send a Culturally Healthy greeting to your friends and family.





Ramadan Karriem/Mubarak & Eid Al-Fitr (Sunni Muslims, Shi’ite, Nation of Islam), Happy Hanukah (if u Jewish), Merry Christmas-(Christians), Happy Kwanzaa & Hotep (African-Americans who’re attempting to re-connect wit the Motherland's principles), Happy Civilization Day? (Nation of Godz and Earth), Wonderful Winter Solstice (Metaphysicians & Astrologers), Feliz Navidad (Latino Comrades), Happy New Year (Everybody).

geesh—thats a lot of inclusivity—lol!!! ;-)

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

Also, please include a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great, and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.

(By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms and conditions.) This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for himself or others, is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one Year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish, at the discretion of the wisher.

I wish you Cultural Health, wealth and happiness for the holidays.

Happy Holiday
2005

I wish you and yours a culturally healthy and happy holiday.

Rudy Aunk

Every year on behalf of the Cultural Literacy Project and in the interest of cultural health. I take great pleasure in sending out a holiday greeting. This year's greeting above was shorter then most years, so I could provide you with some additional information.

This year I was asked by my daughter in-law, if I would go to my honorable grandson's kindergarten class and introduce them to Kwanzaa. The teacher was having parents from different ethnic groups in, to talk about their respective holidays.

This was a great opportunity to improve Cultural Health at the beginning of the human life cycle instead of in the middle, or at the end, as I am usually doing. Naturally, I went and great fun was had by all. It had been a long time since I had been in kindergarten, and I had forgotten how open and flexible young children are.

I taught them and they taught me. The take home lesson for me was, the reminder that you catch more bees with honey then you do with vinegar.

Undoubtedly some of you cultural soldiers will run into culturally insensitive individuals this season, as you have in the past. I would caution you, be gentle. As you know some right wing zealots have been telling their flock that Christmas is under attack. While this is not true, it has lead to some adverse reactions by some of the less culturally healthy adults here in America.

Note the following series of memos as an example of what I am talking about.

Memorial Day and African Americans

Hetep and Respect Good Spirits

Memorial Day's Cultural Health Minute


U know the Cultural Literacy Project's practice of utilizing "Holidays" as Cultural Health opportunities. Memorial Day is no exception. In this spirit, read and head the Cultural Health Minute below.

Remember and tell someone about your family's military service.

On Memorial Day African Americans should remember our ancestor's sacrifices in World War Zero (WW0) A.K.A the middle passage or African Holocaust. 100 million innocent men, woman and children died, in our Big One WW0.

Remember and remind folks of the living and passed on casualties of the Cultural War
Including Marcus, Martin and Malcolm in America and from Hepatica to Ncruma in the motherland
Last to not least remind folks of the living sleeping giants among us.

A great tribute to our fallen ancestors on Memorial Day would be to wake up a present day Sleeping Giant.

What will you do on Memorial Day?

Cultural Health Requires ACTION to gain traction!
