In the spirit of “Cussin Monday” (a nod to Papa Lou’s old Working with the Spirit radio show) I talk about anti-Blackness as it exists in Afrikan and Diaspora Spiritual traditions.
we continue & conclude our detailed response from the interview/hijacking from April 15th, 2016
HOW TO MAKE A NEGRO christian www.lulu.com/kamau301 On April 15th of 2016, I was invited on the trs blogtalk radio show...ironically entitled Talk Real Solutions. I was to speak on my hot-selling book HOW TO MAKE A NEGRO christian. While the 1st 2 hours went as planned, when the callers came on, the entire talk switched to the stupidity of Afrikan Traditional Spirituality as a whole, the Untruth of Afrikan Spirits and the overemphasis on Science & Technology ONLY for Afrika's future uplift. While I did as well as I could in a hostile environment, at the end of the day, I personally 1-wasn't given efficient time to explain certain points &/or was just talk over on & 2-feel I didn't fully represent Real Afrikan Spirituality as well as I could. THIS SHOW CORRECTS THAT RECORD, DEFINITIVELY! I will play some EXCEPTIONALLY DISTURBING clips-PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED. The same energy that was given to me, I shall give most of it back in this proper response on the PROPER actions to ensure a positive & long lasting Afrikan global future
please check out & SHARE my new HOW TO MAKE A NEGRO christian book trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRS8kV3tzoQ WE FINALLY GOT 'EM!!!! Meet the brother who was fired from a Black institution (howard middle school-on the campus of howard university) for teaching "too much" Black History. T'Shango Mbilishaka is an Afrikan freedom fighter who has been hiding out as a teacher for over a decade. He has taught in inner city communities in Boston and Washington D.C and has held positions in almost every grade level, from pre-K to college. T'Shango uses several traditional African teaching methods he has learned from his 8 trips to Afrika, studying under Dr. Asa Hilliard, and reading works on African socialization such as Kwame Agyei Akoto’s Nationbuilding, Sambuli Mosha of the Chagga, Malidoma and Sobonfo Some, Ayi Kwei Armah, Kia Fu-kiau Bunseki, Amos Wilson, and Eleni Tedla’s Sankofa: African thought and Education. T'Shango has found the most effective teaching practices, the most effective parenting seminars and the most effective community initiatives are based firmly within a cultural and political context. T'Shango has found students are most enlightened (endarkened) when they are given the skills and world view to do the work necessary to empower their families, communities, and mother Afrika by learning about their history and practicing the culture of their great ancestors. Previously, T'Shango had been featured in Essence Magazine for bringing students back to Afrika, he was awarded runner up for “Most Outstanding Teacher” of the year in DC charter schools 2013 while at Howard University Middle School, and has been initiated as a Babalawo in Ifa in Nigeria. Lastly, he is also married to the lovely Afrikan Centered Psychologist Afiya M. Mbilishaka. call in # 760-454-1111 & press 1 to ask your questions of this dynamic educator
Please support our efforts- HOW TO MAKE A NEGRO CHRISTIAN WWW.LULU.COM/KAMAU301 We are PLAYING...we are too busy mixing & diluting REAL AFRIKAN SPIRITUALITY w/ christian/islame-ic LIES&/or eastern meanderings on spirit, THAT TOOOOOOO MANY OF US HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT AFRIKA SPECIFICALLY has to say on there matters! AND IF ANOTHER KNUCKLEHEAD SAYS THEY ARE BEING AFRIKAN BY CALLING THEMSELVES AN atheist, I just may throw up live on the radio. THIS foolishness in Afrika's name MUST STOP NOW...therefore even more clarity will be addressed tonight for AFRIKA'S CASE & CAUSE ON HER OWN TERMS. fasten your spiritual seat belts for this one.
Today on Khu Khem we shall explore the Kemetic perspective on love. What is it? Many people use the term, and often there is not a consensus on what what is meant by it. This is even the case for people speaking the same language. However, what is love from the Afrikan Spiritual perspective? Is there are difference between the way Afrikans view and understand love, and the way that western people understand it? How does this affect the way we view understand and approach relationships? Are we as practitioners of Afrikan Spirituality and Culture approaching our "love life" from a Eurocentric Perspective? Let's talk about it! THIS IS NOT ONE TO MISS!!!
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS--- www.cafepress.com/kamau301 To usher in our THIRD year of existence this month, all month we will have interviews, with powerful people in the Global Afrikan Community. We have titled it THE SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER We continue with a good friend, passionate warrior scholar and committed Afrikan Nationalist Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan. We became friends during my 2 years in Chicago. He worked at an Afrikan Centered bookstore & when I came in w/ some questions, his knowledge of & uncompromising stance on Afrikan Spirituality, made us instant friends. All of his work, MOST OF WHICH ARE FREE are at his website www.odwirafo.com works like MY PERSONAL FAVORITE UBEN HYENG--THE ANCESTRAL SUMMONS, the most Afrikan centered spirito-phisophical text out today; KUKUU TUNTUM-THE ANCESTRAL JURISDICTION, where he lays out what it means to be an Afrikan person & where he COMPLETELY EVISCERATES ALL non-Afrikan religious structures; PTAH SASETEM--which is basically a step-by-step guide for ReAfrikanization; a few of his more 'controversial' pieces include tTHE ORIGIN OF THE TERM AFRIKA MOOR MEANS DEAD and DIVINE LAW & DIVINE HATE He is all over Ustream, youtube, he may even be coming to do a lecture in a town near you, but for now, he has graciously agreed to appear here on AFRIKA'S REASCENSION! So, all month WE WANT INTERACTION from you, the listening audience. So call in (760-454-1111) or join the chat ON TIME & PLEASE PLEASE BE READY TO PARTICIPATE in what I am sure will be an excellent discussion!!!
[PLEASE SUPPORT Afrika's Reascension--cafepress.com/kamau301] So I am on multiple social media sites. Theeeeee most unapologetically Afrikan centered one is ABIBITUMIKASA.COM. So I am on there, conversing & reading forums & 1 sistah kept coming up w/ some of the most passionate, studied, heart-felt responses, over & over & over again...so, of course, I am like, "who is this sistah?" Over the years I have cyber-followed/joined in her righteous endeavors, including the failed attempt at creating a nin site ONLY for Revolutionary Minded Afrikan Singles...we may talk about that. She has now given her passion, energy, strength & heart into a school the Katiopa Watoto Shule and have I mentioned she is unapologetically Afrikan in the hells of canada??? This will be a LIVELY & WELL NEEDED discussion. A few topics up for discussion will be the role of Afrikan Spirituality in our lives; The caucasoid socialization process Afrikan women go thru & HOW TO STOP IT!; Why she felt the need to open up her own Afrikan centered school; What challenges are there being a DELIBERATE Afrikan in a place like canada...and of course YOUR questions (760-454-1111) PLEASE CALL IN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS AS WE INTERVIEW A DOWN AS* SISTAH, KENTAKE MALOPENZA!!
WE GOT 'EM!!!!!!!!! Tonight, we will be interviewing 3 graduates of Real Afrikan Spiritual Systems. Okomfo Kwao Magloire & Okomfo Afua Serwaa, both of the Akan System and Oba Sekou Olayinka of the Ifa System of the Yoruba's. THIS IS NOT A SHOW TO PERFORM READINGS OR CONSULTATIONS!!!!! This is a show to ask ALL of the questions you have always wanted to ask regarding Real Afrikan Spirituality from the 'insiders.' ...maybe about the Initiation process (what they can answer), why they chose this path, what you should look for & what to avoid if YOU want to go through initiation & become a graduate yourself, kwk. Each graduate will be w/ us for about AN HOUR, so this will be an ON-TIME show, so please come at 9pm with your thoughtful comments and/or detailed questions ready. THIS SHOULD BE A MARVELOUS SHOW!!!
A FEW KEY & CRITICAL QUOTES FROM BABA OMOWALE (fka Malcolm X) INTERSPERCED THROUGHOUT OUR TALK ON REAL AFRIKAN SPIRITUALITY. FUTURE PROGRAMMING UPDATE AT END OF THIS PROGRAM AS WELL
Tonight we share a GREAT lecture done by Dr. Mama Marimba Ani entitled AFRIKAN SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY. THERE WILL BE AN ANALYSIS SHOW(S) OF THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ENJOY!!!
My call dropped during the 'overtime session' which means, I got dropped. So we will finish up where I left off at, to prepare for part 3 next week
After we wrap up the major points of part 1, we will continue with speaking on Nkommere (altar)--ingredient basics, importance, etc Apae (libation)-element basics, huge importance Nsamanfo (Ancestors)-how they still ibteract in our daily lifes, our OBLIGATION of propitation & rememberance & what happens when we forget them Abosom (Deities)-what they are, their importance, what they do for humans Other Asunsum (spirits)--how they serve the Creative Forces, how they help us Afrikans, why some are mischevious, why some Asunsum are 'bad'
This will be the beginning of a LONG running series of shows to examine, explain, & share ways to place INTO PRACTICE REAL Afrikan Spirituality. A GROSS amount of lies, syncretic views, new age BABBLE, caucasoid distortions, kwk have been placed in the stead of Afrikan Spirituality & told to others that it is indeed Afrikan Spirituality, when at best it is a watered down bad facsimile of it or an outright distorion & fabrication of it. So here, we shall BEGIN to set the record straight, again,as well as give Afrikans PRACTICAL THINGS to leave with to MAKE IT A PART OF YOUR REGULAR LIFE. WE WILL NEVER TRULY BE FREE UNTIL WE RETURN TO OUR AFRIKAN SPIRITUALITY!!! OUR REAL Afrikan spiritual way is our KEY to victory... we must FIRST uncloud our minds of the arab lies, caucasoid lies, new age lies & scared blackfolks lies, then reshape our minds to understand our innate Afrikan reality. 3rdly, begin the process of connecting with our linegae Ancestors & then we will be ready for Deity connection & REAL SPIRITUAL POWER GROWTH. This show will, for some, be that 1st step....of many, many more shows like this.
Tonight we will be reading from UBEN-HYENG--the ONLY Afrikan Centered philosophical-Spiritual text on the market today that USES Afrika's deep well of knowledge in a practical way. To read along, you can downlaod the text FOR FREE (PLEASE GIVE A DONATION TO THE BROTHA FOR THIS INCREDIBLE WORK) AT www.odwirafo.com/ubenhyengpage.html Tonight will be a VERY DIFFERENT type of Afrikan Centered show.
