Destroy and Conquer

...Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Cherokee Indians, Iroquois Indians, Sioux Indians, West Africans, East Africans, South Africans, Persians, etc...

What do each of these nations of people share in common? They were conquered and destroyed. Religions were destroyed, customs were destroyed, LIVES were destroyed. And those who were left behind, were conquered and FORCED to submit to the will of the pale faces.

I recently read the book, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. It details the life and customs of a native Nigerian warrior long ago. He lived in a village rich with customs and values. He had three wives, a lot of children, and he would have done anything to protect his village. While participating in a festival, he accidently killed a bystander in a crowd and was exiled from his village for seven years. During those seven years, "things fell apart". A group of pale faced men came into the village and taught the villagers their religion. They discussed how their religion was better than the one currently practiced, and opened a church nearby. Although similarities were found between the two, the pale faces still held their ground. They gathered information about the villagers and were preparing a manuscript about how to take over savages. The missionaries did a good job of disguising their real objectives behind thier Bibles and such, but eventually, when the warrior returned to his old village, he saw their true colors. They set up a government and began to reprimand those who did not obey their rules. They recruited natives from other villages to help enforce their rules. The book ended with the warrior killing himself because his people would not fight the people of that government back, all because their customs never allowed them to wage war on anyone.

This brings me to what sparked me to think of all this. Avatar, a movie recently released, displays all that I discussed today. Throughout our history, pale faces have been going from country to country, seeking resources. When they set their sights on an area that could benefit them, they use tactics to get the natives to trust them. The Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs, thought the pale faces were some sort of gods. The Native Americans and Africans, were mystified and wanted to ride their horses and use their weapons, luxuries that they were accustomed to. The pale faces would introduce their religion, build schools, and act as if they were some sort of saviors. Some tribes fought back, and failed. Others betrayed their own and sold others to the pale faces ( thus the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade). But there was a universal outcome. The pale faces took over. They felt superior and took what they wanted, and would kill in the presence of any resistance. And if you look all over the world, the same is happening now. Name one country that has been occupied by them at one point in history that isn't in turmoil now. Food for thought.

Disclaimer: I use the term pale faces to emphasize the fact that the worlds history has been dominated by one race. In present day, there may be "warriors" of other colors working alongside them, but the same agenda is in place. They rule the world.

STOP Light

What is it about men that keeps women so zoned in that they overlook every red flag these n*ggas put in front of them.? Got a couple of scenarios for you:

The Ghetto Baby Mama:

She meets a guy. He may or may not have a job, but he definitely has a baby mama. She's homely, hasn't had a serious relationship since her baby daddy left her back in '04, and is craving attention. He sweet talks her, notices she has decent credit, so he talks her into getting an apartment with him so she can move out of her mama's house. This is two months into the relationship. Three months in, she gets pregnant. He says ALL the things that she wants to hear. "Girl, we gonna have a family together. Girl, one day you gonna be wifey. Girl I love you." He buys her a cracker jack ring and she's all over it. Six months in, she loses the baby. He doesn't tell anyone that she was even pregnant. Meanwhile, when she's in the hospital alone, he runs a train on a white girl AND a stripper, all in her bed. Good times.. She kicks him out, but lets him stay the night a couple of more times. All the while, complaining about how no good he is, but still she wants him to hold her at night. Whats wrong with this? RED FLAG number one shoulda been the dam baby mama he already had, number two shoulda been the marriage proposal after a couple of months, and number three, the n*gga had sex in YOUR BED..

The Lonely Girl:

She meets a guy in college. Had mind-blowing sex with him cause his dick game was on point. But he was talkin to someone else at the time. She doesn't care cause she was doing her own thing. Years go by, and he occasionally comes by and gives her a little taste, and she begins to catch feelings. He shows up on his time, calls when he is in town, puts it down, then LEAVES. She decides to let him go when she realizes that the feelings aren't mutual. Then he slips into recovery mode. He starts to call a few times more, and then he takes her on a date. He throws the L-word in there, and he figures its a wrap. Uh.. no. But yet, she still answers the phone, knowing that its two in the morning and he wants a piece. Whats the problem with that Kita, you ask? Number one, you've so dick struck that you havent got a chance to get to know him. Number two, you know exactly what he's doing to you and you are LETTING HIM. Hmmm..

The Young Girl:

Fresh outta the jail she calls home. Never had a REAL boyfriend. Just lost her virginity two days before enrolling in college, and doesn't realize her own beauty and worth. She meets a smooth talker. He uses big words and makes her laugh. He tells her that he likes her, but he still has feelings for his ex. He also tells her that he is dealing with the choice between the two. They have great sex, and have fun in the clubs. He dumps her, then he takes her back. He ignores her texts, tells her that they should split before their Xmas break because he can't watch her if she cheats. She constantly asks him if he still loves her. He texts back that it's HER FAULT that he's breaking it off with her cause she wouldn't let him think things over. She's sad and doesnt understand why its over. The issue? Number one, you haven't been out in the real world long enough to know what a relationship should feel like. Number two, he still loves his EX, and he told you from jump! Three, how in the hell is it your fault that he can't make up his mind who he wants to be with?

Ladies, men tell you what to expect from them in the very beginning, with their actions and words. Wake up!

Virgin

Yep, it's my first time. Maybe I'll have a little more to say at another time. The world is anxious to know who I am. I can feel it. I'm anxious too, maybe we'll learn together what makes me tick. Its late, and this will be brief, but don't fret, I'll be back. Bloggers, I'm waiting for your welcome. Don't be afraid to leave flowers, or what not. Just kiddin', actually I'm not.. Ha!
