What I can't understand is why is EGYPT such a focus when the majority of us here are more directly descended from West Africans but that history is JUST NOW being able to be put together.Well, I tell you what, I'm not against group think, but I am against joining a collective cats I'm not on the same wavelength with. That's a recipe for disaster. And I swear every conscious collective I've experienced has internal beef . . . . just like the black church.
The article mentioned the Hotepers. I think it's important to learn about Ancient Egypt as a part of Black History, because IT IS. Truth is, Blacks in America had their culture ripped away, so we've lost connection. Many of us just want to reclaim it. And further, West Africans are descendants of Kemet.
You clownin'...I'm interested in seeing this same author put together a list of 5 types of conscious people you should build with.
I'm dying......Good article.
Here comes the HOTEPer
And great questions they are...I have questions
What's this group thing about? is that being concerned and taking care of your community? helping ur own kind?
What is the box? is the box helping your fellow black people?
What is a BOX? How is it being used here?
Man, you don't know the half...This is some ignorant shit. West Africans can't claim Egypt, yet white people can claim the science, the religion, the architecture, mathematics from Egypt?
Straight separation tactics.
I'm weak....I'M WEAK....I'M SO WEAK!Context of racism/white supremacy!
It's gettin cold in here real fast...Exhibits A and B:
Wow, this shit just blowed my f*cking mind, and just stop and think for a second...Anything but be together huh?
Jokes and jokes and jokes.
Don't think like a group advance like a group set goals like a group
And somehow come together
Gotcha.

Again, people missing the point.
I haven't been in too many debates with these groups but when I do, they tend to want to tear you down for the most ridiculous shit, on some "Why you listen to rock!? The DEVILS music, what kinda black man are you!?". LOL
It has nothing to do with not recognizing your worth as a Black American or not getting involved with black matters, you can see the writers other articles. This article is tagged as "Humor" as well, but it's no surprise that so many of y'all are immediately taking offense without thinking first. Yes there's moments of seriousness but the settle jabs aren't really meant to be taken much more sense than the clips posted in the article.
You can find EVERY SINGLE ONE those types on this very forum.
This...yep
Most heavy "Debaters" i know or has experienced are sick/crazy.
I see they showed up in this thread.
Don't forget the 6th Type.
The Black People who spend time listing the characteristics of the previous 5 types.

The Regurgitator
This person in incapable of forming an original thought. They are just happy to be a part of something. They simply regurgitate information that they have read or heard from someone else. Usually, it’s information THAT WE ALREADY KNOW! This person will not dig or do original research to present the community with something new. Nope. That’s waaaay too much work for the regurgitator. They get off by telling us over and over and over again how the Bible was created at the Council of Nicea. Just pat them on the head, tell them “thank you”, then walk away.
I have questions
What's this group thing about? is that being concerned and taking care of your community? helping ur own kind?
What is the box? is the box helping your fellow black people?

The quote that's huge describes this woman. The regurgitator. I dont know how many times she has made a balantant false statement that the bible was created at the council of nicea.
Sad part about it is that she doesn't even know blacks controlled europe during the time the council of nicea was taken place. But dont ask her to prove anything....she can't prove shit
You said it, "the spokes person for delusional cacs" have their guys...
...and it looks like four times...four times to hit submit...
and I was one of the folks that gave it 5-stars.
This is some ignorant shit. West Africans can't claim Egypt, yet white people can claim the science, the religion, the architecture, mathematics from Egypt?

Why these cats dress like Bambatta and Soul Sonic Force ?
Bambatta had a yard sale ?

Would you rather them dress in western apparel? Show me a dress code that's not american that would satisfy you
They look like black ninjas
So the leather jacket isn't western ?
The WWE championship belt isn't western ?
C'mon Fuzzy
Whites do not claim egypt at all. But the sad part is you are justifying claiming a nationality you are not simple because you think white people do it to?
Isn't this what sister do to justify putting weave in their head? White women do it to.....
You are not an egyptian and the proof is that you can't prove it, you can only justify it.
fuck you want a cookie??
what do you like,
chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin??
I put it right there in broad day, a category or label. Whether it be a militant, a thug, a hipster or a feminist...avoid putting yourself in a box/category. Enjoy life and as much as it has to offer without wondering if you should like it or not, all while letting others do the same without passing judgement or in this instance writing off the next brotha or sistas Blackness due to a difference in point of view or opinion...something I've seen done here done a million times over.
"The campaign to keep the negroes divided is going well."
-White Supremacy
Yeah this is not a beneficial mentality to have i think and being black is a box... being female is a box
Helping my people is a box then and i'm glad for it really. Anyone who does something to HELP their own is in a box then
It sounds like ur the type who doesn't want to belong
I've noticed that those types tend to not be very concerned about anyone else but themselves. Maybe ur that, maybe u ain't
I am and i think to make that something negative says something negative about the say'er
the so-called/fake "conscious" folk are the quickest to cut you off the Black family simply due to a difference in opinions and views.
Don't forget the 6th Type.
The Black People who spend time listing the characteristics of the previous 5 types.
You do understand that you just described the author of this article, right?
How? You know her and her other works...? I don't see her saying take anyones Black card away. She's pointing out a common flaw in a lot of wanna be militants and apparently WTGGT couldn't want to live up to that moment and with little reason. The fake conscious folk are quickest to disown you from the Black family than anyone else. So to me, that's one of the worst things Black folks can do to each other and I for one can't stand it. Black folks have to stop trying to tell other Black people they are not or do not want to be "Black". THAT is one of the key problems and points this article is trying to make, but never mind that, just keep feeling like the article is an attack on the Black community.
This article suggests these are 5 types of people you should avoid.
Isn't avoiding these people not essentially the same as cutting them off from the black family tree?
Yeah, but nobody has said helping our people is a box or a bad thing, you have a bad habit of simply making shit up, stop it.
And guess what...? You're doing EXACTLY what I said these types of brothas and sistas always do right now with the whole "It sounds like ur the type who doesn't want to belong" bullshit. LOL Problem #1 and why this article holds truth. You just proved the very point I was making earlier, the so-called/fake "conscious" folk are the quickest to cut you off the Black family simply due to a difference in opinions and views.
Y'all like to preach all this unity and togetherness since it sounds good but have some black folk think or do something differently or outside the box just a smidget, CUT THEM OFF, they are no longer YOUR brothas & sistas anymore, hilarious.
Whether it be a militant, a thug, a hipster or a feminist...avoid putting yourself in a box/category.
