I wish... When metaphors are no good.


Written By : The Queen Abena J. Asanti

Sometimes I wish I could be alone with my African self.

I wish I could go practice my African traditions without interference or observation of others.

I wish I had the benefit of my ancestors labor.
I wish I had the benefit of ALL of my African intellectual property.
I don’t recall any notation of it being signed away but alas conventional wisdom always refers to someone outside of me.

I wish my rule book wasn't one crafted by others.

I wish that Africans could decide who was worthy of leadership and make those assumptions based on what they provide to the community and not who they sleep with, or what they believe.

I wish I had the capacity to believe and maintain that there is no devil. That Jesus was important but, not necessarily a virgin born of a virgin. That Muhammad, Elijah or otherwise was not the last messenger but a part of a continuous message of living better and treating people right. Perhaps Jesus was just Mary and Joseph’s remarkable baby. Just like I am the remarkable child of two good people. I wish that my African self could be alone to contemplate who the Jews really are without reference to anyone other than African self. I wish I didn’t have to share my story with those who have none.

I wish my African femaleness could be appreciated by my African maleness without being looked over because of my inability to recreate the idea of womanhood of others.

I wish that while being an African all by myself I could decide that male and female do not necessarily have specific gender roles as defined by someone else. That it is perfectly okay for me to operate in the best interest of the family even if I'm the only one able and capable to maintain one or a part of a unit given the task. That I am not lacking as other women may be to meet the demands of parenting and providing as the universe requires. The last word should not be designated by order of anatomical differences. Being male does not necessarily mean having rule over a female in my African world.

My African ideal state of relationship includes the fact that I can pick up a shot gun and point it in the defense of just as well as my brother. And we may need to stand back to back pointing them in opposite directions. The idea of me running, hiding and fainting in the face of trouble is neither welcome or expected. It also should not preclude me from companionship.

I’m tired of being everybody’s mammy… When it’s broke I fix it, even when I’m not the one who broke it.
I wish I didn’t have to fight my African self about what I believe nor have the need to justify or be called upon to teach someone else the validity of my creation.

I wish other folks wouldn’t show up in my sorority, nor worship my ancestors, nor be found rocking to the beat and sweet strains of gospel music. I wish they wouldn’t rap either. I wish my cornrows never adorned any head that wasn’t specifically and divinely created African Nappy.


I wish I could be alone with my African thoughts
Then maybe I could get my African self together and save the world.

A "Black" Man, A Moor, John Hanson


John Hanson Was the First President of the United States! 1781-1782 A.D.???George Washington was really the 8th President of the United States!

George Washington was not the first President of the United States. In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson. Don't go checking the encyclopedia for this guy's name - he is one of those great men that are lost to history. If you're extremely lucky, you may actually find a brief mention of his name.

The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation.
This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land).

Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.

As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents.

He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch.

All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the government. He somehow managed to calm the troops down and hold the country together. If he had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and everyone would have been bowing to King Washington. In fact, Hanson sent 800 pounds of sterling siliver by his brother Samuel Hanson to George Washington to provide the troops with shoes.

Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite the feat, considering the fact that so many European countries had a stake in the United States since the days following Columbus.

Hanson established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents have since been required to use on all official documents.

President Hanson also established the first Treasury Department, the first Secretary of War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department.

Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today.

The Articles of Confederation only allowed a President to serve a one year term during any three year period, so Hanson actually accomplished quite a bit in such little time.

Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office.

So what happened?

Why don't we ever hear about the first seven Presidents of the United States?

It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon.

A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution.

And that leads us to the end of our story.

George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today.

And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history

REAL TALK


The original Biblical Jews were Black African people who were ruthlessly persecuted by the Romans. Yashu'a (Jesus) was a Black Jew who was born during this time. The Roman-Jewish War in 66 A.D., marked the peak of this persecution and the end of the original Black Jews (Hebrew-Israelites) as a nation. As predicted by Yashu'a, in this war Jerusalem was overthrown, the Temple was destroyed and the Black Hebrews were scattered. (Mat. 24:15-21, Luke 21:5, 6, 20-24). The loss of life was appalling. So many Hebrews were slain that the hole lake of Galilee was red with blood and covered with corpses. The noted historian, Josephus estimated that one million, one hundred thousand perished in the siege of Jerusalem alone, reports Hugh Schonfield in his book The Passover Plot, which describes this massive genocide.

The Word Semite is from Semi, Which Means Half. Half What? Half BLACK!! (Mulatto!)
Semite refers to the descendants of Shem, one of Noah's sons. The word originates from the Latin prefix semi, which means half. Half black/half white..........therefore Black. While Semites (such as Jews & Gypsies), have mixed so much with whites, they have forgotten or deny their African roots, but racism will never let them forget this no matter how light-skinned they become, as proved by Hitler, who mandated their destruction because they were classified by whites as "non-white" people originating in Africa. The very word Gypsy means "Out of Egypt."

The African Moors Sparked the European Renaissance!
Ruling Spain, Southern France, much of Scotland and North Africa during the Middle ages for 700 years, the Black African Moors gave Europe one of its finest civilizations. The story of the Moors in Spain by Stanley Lane-Poole, John Jackson writes: "Eurocentric historians argue that Europe gave civilization to Africa, which is a complete inversion of the truth. The first civilized Europeans were the Greeks, who were chiefly civilized by the Africans of the Nile Valley. The Greeks transmitted this culture to the Romans, who finally lost it, bringing on a dark age of 500 years. Civilization was restored to Europe when another group of Africans, the Moors, brought this dark age to an end. During the Golden Age of Islam, the Moorish Empire, was the most advanced state in world. Cordova was the most wonderful city of the tenth century; the streets were well paved, with raised sidewalks for pedestrians, public baths numbered in the hundreds, at a time when cleanliness in Christian Europe was regarded as a sin. Moorish monarchs dwelt in splendid palaces, while the crowned heads of England, France and Germany, lived in big barns, lacking both windows and chimneys, with only a hole in the roof for the emission of smoke."

The Moors had an insatiable lust for knowledge and acquired it from East and West, translating into Arabic all they could find, even ransacking monasteries for rare books. One king had a private library of 600,000 books! In Moorish Spain, education was available to the most humble, while in Christian Europe, 99% of the populace were illiterate, including Kings. The incredible city of Cordova had 800 public schools. The Moors made great advances in mathematics, physics, astronomy, medicine, botany and chemistry. The Moors also introduced the first shooting mechanisms or rifles known as fire sticks - which revolutionized European military science, ultimately causing their downfall when their enemies used gun powder to drive them back into Africa. Their contribution to European civilization is vast - with no credit given to them. For more details, read The Golden Age of the Moors (Ivan Van Sertima) and The History of the Moorish Empire in Europe, (Samuel Scott).
