Black Manhood from a Black Female Perspective
From the "Slave Plantation" to "Planned Parent Hood" it seems Black life has been institutionally targeted for erasure. Yes, yes...I clearly understand Black ancient heritage and history. We all know Black history didn't start in the British Americas' (13 Colonies) 1609. For those of us who are true students of history we know the "MITOCHONDRIAL EVE" is said to have lived 200,000 years ago in what you all call East Africa, but what I and other scholars call "The Land of the Blacks" i.e. Eden, Kemet, Cush, and Ethiopia.
In 2008 the United States Congress apologized for THE INSTITUTION of SLAVERY and the effects of JIM CROW. Now if you're really smart you'd ask yourself why was slavery institutionalized? And what effects did Jim Crow have? My dear readers if slavery was an institution that means it had professors and subjects. It means someone was experimenting and someone was the subject/experiment. The Black Man was the experiment. He was experimented on day and night in the areas of breaking him down mentally, spiritually, physically, and sexually. The institution of slavery was to insure the Black Man would NEVER rule the universe as he once did. The institution of slavery was to insure the Black Woman would consciously and unconsciously view the Black Man as weak and inferior. The institution of slavery was ran by Medical Doctors, Psychologists, Pharmacologists, Racists Ministers, Judges, Lawyers, Congressmen, Senators, and yes...even Presidents. Read the below LINKS of the US Congress apology
Congress Apologizes for Slavery, Jim Crow : NPR
Senate apologizes for slavery, segregation - politics - Capitol Hill - msnbc.com
"...Even though the US Congress apologized and recognized the systemic effects of the institution of Slavery and Jim Crow there yet remains a refusal to pay Blacks reparations. They could of at least give Blacks free College since they reneged on 40 acres and a Mule!" This is why Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr., stated in his I have a Dream speech "America has given the Negro people a bad check!"
Nevertheless even though the Black Man was humiliated to the highest degrees possible it was the Black Woman who refused to abandon him. She still viewed him as her Lord and King. An unseen power in her ancient blood wouldn't allow her to disrespect her Black Man in the face of extreme degradation.
We now fast forward to the future and Black Manhood is still being tested. Even though Black Manhood is yet being tested, providence saw fit for the United States of America to be ran by a Black Man (President Barack Obama). Who knew one day the very people that were spat on, degraded, and humiliated would be the same people running the same Government and Country that treated them like aliens i.e. 3/5 Human?
Without the prayers, support, strength, patience and most of all love of the Black Woman the Black Man would of never rose to greatness in the United States of America. So what is Black Manhood from a Black Female Perspective? Well, a few of my facebook friends defined what Black Manhood means to them:
Patricia Lampkin-Harris,
Liberty University
RESPONSIBILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, LOVE, LOVE FOR GOD, FAMILY, OBEDIENCE TO GOD, EQUALITY, MATURITY, SECURITY AND COMMITMENT TO HIS MATE... A man that can have healthy relationships with my friends, and family members and understand about crossing boundaries.. Financially supportive.
Delia StillStanding Thomas,
Collins High School (Chicago),
Itawamba Community College
Love for God and himself cause if he does not love himself he cant love me. Respect and ambition.
Lawndale Gardens, Model
Fear of God in him, Respect for all, Loyalty, Wisdom, Accountability, Honesty, Good Grooming!!! Etc., could go on & on......

What makes a man a good man is exercising his morals that were taught to him at childhood. Providing for his family and truly being the head. A woman will put her trust in a man if he proves that he can protect and provide for her, if he proves that he's strong in mind as well as body. A good man is secure and content w/ himself. He has a purpose driven focus. There are so many aspects to a good, wonderful, superb man. Speaking from a woman's point of view, there's a specific feeling we get when we're entertained by a good man. A bad man on the other hand has no values, no morals. He cares for no one but himself and he has no love in his heart. A bad man is a bitter man. A dead beat will splurge and have unorganized priorities. He'll worship material things before he takes care of his child and/or responsibilities. As a man, I feel they should take pride in not only creating children, but being apart of their life and assisting w/ their up bringing. It grinds my gears when I hear men say they have to babysit their own children. News flash sir, the kids came from you, so therefore you are not babysitting. You are spending time w/ your children. I also had the pleasure of having a very interesting conversation w/ a gentlemen. He spoke as though he should be applauded for taking care and spoiling the woman in his life. Granted the nice things he does should be acknowledged, but at the same time I feel that's something that should be done anyway. If you love and appreciate your mate, there's nothing wrong w/ showing them.....
If you look closely you see just about all of the above women mentioned "LOVE FOR GOD" and "FINANCIALLY STABLE/SECURITY". Of course they said other powerful things as well, but the number one thing Black Women want in a Black Man is "LOVE FOR GOD!" WoW! How amazing is that!?! I guess its because if a man loves GOD then he'll seek to follow GOD'S word relative to faithfulness, being a good provider, being a good father (married, single, divorced) and being a good man in general. Veronica Elle also stressed the importance of a man being supportive of his pregnant girlfriend or wife. When speaking of men being supportive of women while they're pregnant Veronica Elle said "Granted it wont make the contractions easier when you're in labor, only a massage, cold towels and an epidural can do that. But him being there and reassuring you mos def helps".
Well, there you have it brothers....now that Black Men know how Black Women view Black Manhood what are we gonna do? Will we (not all of us) continue to fall short, or will we arise to the occasion and save the Black Woman as she once saved us?

Evangelist Mattie B. Poole (LEGENDARY)
It was Bishop Charles E. Poole and Evangelist Mattie B. Poole who raised Bishop Dr. A.C. Richards to the ministerial degree of Gospel service. It was Bishop Dr. A.C. Richards who raised me in Ministry via the same doctrine he was taught. Listen to the above YouTube footage and hear the voice of
the late great Evangelist Mattie B. Poole!
"Why should you die before your time,
why should you suffer when others are being Healed"

Why Black Men (Refuse) to attend Church?
The Black Church has always been an historic institution in the Black community since the 1700's of British America's 13 colonies and beyond. In the late 1800's as well as early & middle 1900's Black clergy was on the forefront of fighting thwarts racism, slavery, segregation and Jim Crow-ism. Sure, Black folks have always been religious since our ancient days in Kemet, Cush, and Ethiopia, but in America we developed a strong conversion to Christianity.
This isn't to say Blacks in America are monolithic relative to our religious persuasions, but rather to say most Blacks in America are Christian and/or have roots in the Black Church. Personally I take my call to ministry and spiritual ordination by the late great Bishop Dr. A.C. Richards seriously even when and if I'm not fully living up to what a Minister should be as defined by Apostolic Doctrine of which I have a supreme respect for (Acts 2:38-42) but not limited too.
However I take my ministerial degree as universal status within all religious circles. I believe once one has been initiated into spirituality it doesn't matter which branch of spirituality they were initiated in - such a one is part of the fabric of belief in a Supreme Being known to some as: Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Krishna, Amen Ra, Great Architect of the Universe, etc..., please understand I don't condone the mixing of the above names such as Jahbulon; however, I do condone every one's right to the FREEDOM of RELIGION which keeps us from pseudo holy acts of Sectarian Violence.
Most Black Men refuse to attend Church because of the various reasons listed below:
(1) Street Gang affiliations that teach against Church and the God of Christianity.
(2) Fear of losing their Manhood i.e. emasculated by male pastors and treated as inferior.
(3) They view pastors as poverty pimps.
(4) Don't see a spiritual need to connect w/ Church.
(5) Don't wanna pay 10% of their earnings to any religious institution.
(6) Lazy and refuse to get up on Sunday morning to attend Church.
(7) Would rather stay home, sit on the couch, eat popcorn, fart and watch sports all day.
Its hilarious how most Black Men refuse to attend Church yet when they want a good wife they go to the Black Church looking! Its also sad how most Black Churches are frequently talked down by most (not all) Black Men yet there are many Black Churches that freely allow Black families to use their facilities for funerals. There are many Black Churches that feed the hungry and visit those who are locked up in prison.
I fully understand a Black Man that is of a different religion besides Christianity, but if you aren't part of any religious body then why are you refusing to attend Church!?! I also understand there are a plethora of pastors that aren't educationally /or/ creatively capable of reaching and teaching some of our well educated, initiated, and paid brothers out here, yet instill that isn't an excuse to totally DISRESPECT by non-participation an institution that has given our Race so much pride, dignity, royalty, excellence and hope!
Get your Black...? LoL! Get your Black behind in a Church ASAP!

Should Bishop Eddie Long RENOUNCE his Kingship?
Bishop Eddie Long has backed down and renounced his Kingship conferred upon him by international Bible scholar Rabbi Ralph Messer. The Anti-Defamation League stated "We were appalled by the video of Bishop Long in a fake Jewish Ritual... Their is no Jewish ritual that bears any resemblance to what went on at the church...!"
My question is who and what gives the ADL the rights to condemn any spiritual ritual performed on American soil? If I wanted to I could perform a spiritual ritual of conferring Kings and Queens, needless to say such a ritual wouldn't be honored by the United States because Constitutionally it wouldn't be respected; however, it would be tolerated under rights to RELIGIOUS FREEDOM and the EXERCISE THEREOF.
We fail to understand the "so called" European Jews have no direct ancient biology ANCESTRY to the land they call the "State of Israel" nor any piece of land in the Middle East which has been proven a genealogical and scientific fact. The only Europeans ever in the Middle East in (ancient times) were Romans and Greeks! Which basically means we have a Race claiming to be Jewish with no ties to being Jewish but by belief and conversion to Judaism.
The "State of Israel" was formed in 1948 by Europeans with no direct ancient biological ancestry to the Hebrews, Jews, or Tribe of Israel. The current Jews White/European are natives of Poland, Russia, and Germany who were CONVERTED to Judaism.

I think Bishop Eddie Long shouldn't of renounced and/or denounced his Kingship! He should of probably apologized for offending those who claim to be Jews, but said "The ceremony I participated in I do not renounce and/or denounce. I fully except and receive my Kingship!" Remember, Jesus is King of Kings which means even Jesus acknowledges there are other Kings in the Earthly and Spiritually realms (Revelation 19:16).

NICKI MINAJ: Did She Go to Far at the 54th Grammy Awards?
There's no doubt about it Nikki Minaj is a talented performer and artist; however, did her performance at the 54th Grammy Awards go to far? Was it disrespectful to the Catholic Church and its millions of members around the World? What's the message Nikki was trying to convey? Or was she initiating us all into her eccentric artistry?
I'm pretty sure she may receive a few honorary degrees from various "Mystery Schools" for her performance, nevertheless it was distasteful and disrespectful...a mixture of defamation, allegory, and sexual rituals upon the altar which is viewed by most Christians' as sacred. An abomination to the Catholic Church and religion as a whole rather one believes in Catholicism or not!
Hopefully Nikki Minaj isn't visited by the Jesuits and Knights of Malta for her blatant disrespect and ignorance. Some people and groups take their religious beliefs and rituals serious and will KILL you over them just to make a statement!

Is The New 2012 Chicago City Sticker RACIST?
Is The New 2012 Chicago City Sticker RACIST in the sense of showcasing Whites as superior then other
Races, Nationalities, and Cultures?
After Susana Mendoza under pressure by retired and current law enforcement officers forced her into dropping Herbie Pulgar's "WINNING" City Sticker which was claimed to represent certain Chicago street gangs (click below LINK)Controversial Chicago City Parking Sticker Design Dumped; Clerk Susana Mendoza Goes With Runner-Up
Susana Mendoza has decided to go with the runner up's design for Chicago 2012 City Sticker. The problem with Caitlin Henehan's design is it doesn't truly represent ALL of Chicago! Her design has 3 Caucasians' as superheros when in fact Chicago has more Black and Brown residents then White. I wonder should Caitlin Henehan's City Sticker design be dumped as a misrepresentation of the RACIAL MAKEUP of CHICAGO?
The NEW Chicago 2012 City Sticker
By: Caitlin Hehehan
"Where is the EQUAL representation of Blacks,
Hispanics, Asians, Arabs, etc.,
in the New 2012 Chicago City Sticker!?!"
Its unfair that 15 year old Herbie Pulgar will be viewed for the rest of his life as someone who tried to promote GANGS on Chicago's City Sticker! Will little Herbie be able to emotionally and mentally handle how the City of Chicago, Law Enforcement, and the Media BLASTED and portrayed him as a troubled youth promoting GANGS? I smell a LAW SUIT for character assassination as well as pain and suffering! After this savage media blitz on a 15 year old kid I'm pretty sure Herbie Pulgar's life will NEVER BE THE SAME!
"We took him high and dropped him low!"

Guess we cant use the American Sign Language Finger spelling system any more huh? Don't wanna give the AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE hand shape of "I LOVE YOU" and be shot by Rival Gangs /or/ Cops for representing the Almighty Latin Kings...?
Click Photo Above (which is the American Sign Language
Finger spelling system). I'm pretty sure we can find several relations to GANG symbols.
Above Photo is: The American Sign Language hand shape for "I Love You"
its also the hand symbol of the Almighty Latin Kings
(so be careful when and where you decide to signal "I Love You" with your hands!)
