What kind of break am I taking that may become permanent? (2035 hits)

I am taking a break from responding to ignorance, stupidity, criticism and mockery. I will only respond to good questions and informative comments. Whether you agree or not your comments must reach the bar of a high level of consciousness for me to respond.

I am tired of dialoguing with adults that thinks like bad school age children would. All of you are drop-outs. Most of you can not rationally think. Most of you all can not put a simple puzzle together. We as a Black American people are mentally in very bad shape.

God give man a brain and that brain is his natural resource. Oil, coal, diamonds and etc. are not man’s natural resource. Man’s natural is his ability to reason and think through this complex world that we share with other races. Naturally, the race that uses their brain to capacity will be the head people as White Americans and Caucasian people have been doing now for thousand of years. When it comes to Black Americans we don’t have a natural resource because out brains is not used. We are extremely stupid people as exhibited by the members of BIA right here on this site. We can’t even talk to each other with out being blocked or deleted.

We don’t ask questions, but questions and answers are a necessary requirement to grow intelligently in this complex world of ours. I know that I am right because that is what CNN news is all about am I right. They ask the tough questions and wait for the answers. This going back and forth is what guides both parties to the right conclusion and problem solved. Black Americans don’t take questions and the side effects is furthering our stupidity and ignorance. Instead, Black Americans makes jokes, mockery and give unconstructive criticism. Our children comes right behind us and of course they grow up to be just as stupid as we are. We are an extremely stupid people.

God is the only entity that can stop this continuous down ward spiral trend and we don’t have God if we don’t have our prophet anointed by God. So, it won’t be long before our stupidity slowly coming to an end because the ones of us that are left will walk into our sovereign country free of our parents old and stupid ways.

So, the break that I am taking is indulging with you all in your stupid and stubborn ways. At first I thought that you all did not know any better, but I come to notice that you all don’t want to know and do better and that is why you all can’t do any better because you all don’t want to do better!

Harry,

About your assumption as to the origins of the Black American race, could you comment on the following please? Let's not get hung up on African American or Black American. The following excerpt is talking about the same people, regardless of the words used to name them.

"Since so many free African Americans were light-skinned, many observers assume that they were the offspring of white slave owners who took advantage of their female slaves. Only three of the approximately four hundred families in this history was proven to descend from a white slave owner. They were the children of South Carolina planters: Collins, Holman, and Pendarvis. Like their fathers, they were wealthy slave owners who were accepted in white society."

Steve,

You remind me of the old slave master. So, you and another White man, Mr. Hienegg can challenge and define who Black Americans are?
Well you can’t. I have shown my Black American people who they are and how they got here and you will address me as a Black American and nothing else if you want me to respond to you.

Normally, if we all were living back 150 years age you have me tired to a tree and wiped until I said that my name was Toby instead of Kunta Kenta am I right.

Now, today if you were a decent White man you wouldn’t have any problem addressing my people and me as Black Americans because we are not African people.

Almost all of my Black American people are ignorant and stupid from the hang-over of plantation slavery and that includes Cynthia and David, but I am not and I am my people’s prophet.

Damn Harry, what part of don't get stuck on African American don't you get? I am reporting the findings of an author who for years researched historical, yes HISTORICAL records. You can either refute the historical record or hide behind some artificial excuse about the correct nomenclature for descendants of Africans in the American colonies and later the nation of America. Run Harry, RUN, but you cannot hide!

1. John Williams, born say 1654, was the "Molatto" servant of Mr. Martin Gardner on 26 April 1675 when the York County court ordered that he receive thirty lashes for stealing a hog. The court also prohibited his master from furnishing him with powder and shot or allowing him to carry a gun [DWO 5:110]. He may have been the ancestor of

i. Faith, born say 1720, presented by the Surry County, Virginia court on 18 May 1739 for having a "Malato bastard Child" by information of Capt. John Ruffin [Deeds, Wills #9:54].

Hannah may have been the mother of Fanny Williams, a "free Mullatto" bound by the Princess Anne County court to Anthony Walke on 17 June 1760 to learn to read, sew and knit [Minutes 1753-62, 384]. A suit brought by James Anderson against Till Williams and Hannah his wife was dismissed by the City of Norfolk Hustings Court on 23 November 1767, and Till was sued in the same court by John Calvert on 25 October 1773 [Orders 1761-9, 156; 1770-82, 206a]. A deed from Tully Williams and his wife Tamer to William Capps was proved in Princess Anne County court on 4 July 1791, and on 3 July 1792 the overseers of the poor of the upper district of the Eastern Shore were ordered to bind his orphan Anne Williams to Ann Whitehead [Minutes 1790-2, 121, 292].

Her children were described as "Mulattoes" when the indentures were certified in court on 3 July 1760. On 7 August 1760 the churchwardens charged her with bearing a bastard child, but the case was dismissed at the next session of the court on 4 September [Minutes 1748-62, 322, 325, 334, 337].

i. David, born say 1743, bound to Harwood Jones in Warwick County on 3 July 1760.

And on 4 September Jones reported that David had absented himself another nine days [Minutes 1748-62, 325, 334, 335].

iii. Hannah2, head of a Sampson County household of 2 "other free" in 1790 [NC:53], perhaps the H. Williams who was head of a Cumberland County household of 2 "other free" in 1810 [NC:623].

2. Charles Williams, born before 1776, was head of an Ashe County household of 12 "free colored" in 1820 [NC:3]. He may have been the father of

i. Charles Williams Loyd, born about 1787, registered in Petersburg on 11 March 1817: a free man of colour, five feet three and a half inches high, thirty years old, a waggoner, born free & raised in the Town of Petersburg [Register of Free Negroes 1794-1819, no. 837].

ii. James Williams Loyd, born 1810, son of Charles Williams and Sally Lloyd, resided in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio, on 28 September 1818 [Turpin, Register of Black, Mulatto, and Poor Persons, 25]. Sally Lloyd may have been related to "Indian" Robin Loyd, a "person of color" residing in Jennings County, Indiana, about the age of eighty on 12 February 1838 when he made a declaration to obtain a pension for his services in the Revolution. He stated that he enlisted at Dinwiddie County courthouse and had resided in Dinwiddie for many years after the war, went to North Carolina for a few years, and had been living in Indiana for more than twenty years. John Grimes of Ripley County, Indiana, testified for him that Indian Robin, "a negro man," had served as a footman and also as a soldier in the light horse service. Bartholomew Turner of Jennings County testified that he had seen a "Negro man" named Indian Robin as a soldier on horseback and armed for battle [M804-1596, frame 0594].

Paul Heinegg has worked as an engineer for the past thirty years overseas in Tanzania, Liberia, and Saudi Arabia. He became interested in the history of the free African American community while researching his wife's ancestors from Northampton County, North Carolina. They descended from a community of African Americans who had been free in Virginia since the colonial period. They owned land and appeared to have been on good terms with their white neighbors.

Intrigued by what he found, Paul researched the family histories of most free African American families in North Carolina and Virginia during the colonial period and published Free African Americans of North Carolina and Virginia, which received an award from the North Carolina Genealogical Society in 1992 and the American Society of Genealogists in 1994.

Free African Americans of Maryland and Delaware will be published later this year. Both books can be read on-line at: http://freeafricanamericans.com. The site also contains abstracts of the colonial court records, the 1790-1810 census, and colonial tax lists.

Now why you gotta put David and Cynthia in your discussion?

Steve,

What I am seeing coming out of you Steve is your inherent feelings of superior over Black Americans and me who are descendents of slaves because you refuse and you are digging your heels in that we Black Americans are going to be what you call us and what you want us to be. I call that White people’s inherent superior that is left- over from the days of plantation slavery subliminally being displayed.

Your argument is that what different does it make what you call us who are the descendents of slaves, Black Americans or African Americans to you we are the same people.

But, let me inform your stupid superior dumb-ass Steve that there is a different between a pit-bull dog and a bull-dog. Although these two dogs are dogs, nevertheless they are different dogs. And, since you can’t distinguish the apparent physical differences between the two different dogs only because you ignorantly don’t want to are your short comings. You are mentally wacked out.

But I will not allow you to respect Black Americans and me we are not African people and you know that and to continue to disrespect us makes you an extremely dumb ass White man thinking you are superior to Black Americans. You really want to disrespect me as much as you can and as badly as you can, but I am not going to let you.

Cynthia, David, Irma, Ms. Jen and all the others are not intelligent people yet, but I am since I am Black America’s first genuine prophet. And, if you and I are going to dialogue honestly and up-rightly you will address me as to whom I say that I am, I am a Black American for now.

Imagine us Black Americans to be a sovereign people in a country of our own and we can’t be respected enough to be addressed like we want to be address, what kind of **** is that?

You think very low and disrespectful of Black Americans because you feel you are superior to us since you are a White man.

Steve, the bottom line is this. If you want me to respond to your posted article of another 1800’s thinking White man defining Black Americans as Africans you will have to make the adjustment and refer to us as Black Americans. Is that understood?

Cynthia,

You and David are the poster children of dumb ignorant Black Americans. I wish it weren’t so but is so.

When Steve can bunch you and Irma against Jamal Abraham and can bunch you, Irma and David against me it is clear that you all are some dumb Black Americans.

You all need to change you mind-set. Divide and conquer, you know the Willie Lynch letter syndrome is still being played out today, am I right.

If you are not against me I would also suppose that you weren’t against Jamal Abraham as well, but you were. Then how do you explain you and Irma banning together under Steve’s influence and guidance to turn against Jamal Abraham and Jamal was one of you as you say?

Wednesday, January 16th 2013 at 10:32AM

I just didn't like Jamal... it had nothing to do with anyone...
Plus you know I don't take too kindly to insults!! And I took his a little to personal!! But that was a valuable lesson of sorts...

This is the www..... anything can happen....

just because I oppose sum of your rhetoric... doesn't mean I'm turning on YOU... just your craziness...

Cynthia,

I like what you are saying. I have nothing against Steve. But, Steve is going to respect us as a people and refer to us the right way. We are Black Americans. We are not African people. We did not come from Africa.

It was a time back when Steve asked me to turn against David and said no because David is one of my own. David read my reply and liked it. Now, Steve has gotten David to turn against me.
Now, David saw the right in me that I did not turn against him how can he not see the wrong in himself to turn against me? That is because David is a dumb-ass.

Steve doesn’t want to give me any respect and when Steve disrespects me he is also disrespecting you all as well because he is not one of us. Steve wants disrespect me out of his adamant superiority for descendents of slaves because he is White he naturally feels superior. That is why he always wants to be teaching you all and leading you all around. And, when you all go along and accept this inferiority it hurts me.

Steve wants me to accept being an African because that is what he wants me to be no matter what. Steve reminds me of the old slave master when he tied Kunta Kenta to a tree and wiped him until Kunta Kenta said that his name was Toby. Am I right or am I wrong?

I don't believe I've ever called you an African American Harry. If I ever did I don't remember it. Usually I just call you Harry. I did post about a couple of books written by someone else, not me. What sense would it make for me to change the title of someone else's book? I presented what I thought was useful historical research. And the reason I found it was because it finally sank in what Irma has been saying all these years. What I was trying to do Harry was to get you to open your mind. I say was, because it's plain it's never going to happen.
Wednesday, January 16th 2013 at 1:49PM

As you see/read Harry... Steve isn't disrespecting you... He's only passing on his love for books... I don't think this has anything to do with Kunta ....

You are right Saint Jake...

Let me re-address this issue! Why do you like to comment on subjects that do not pertain to you? Why do you like to interject your opinions when they are not asked of you?

And I have to ask myself why is it that I allow some little character from "the wiz "the scarecrow" interject on my ability to communicate effectively with others?

Saint Jake... why are you trying to address me... when I stated on another blog that you too.. like your counter part Harry suffer from the same form of PsychoAbnormality?

Phineas Gage was ostrazied due to his irratic jestures and comments....

I must keep in mind that this is a G-Rated forum (Thanks Brother Robert)...

I can tell from your writings... The sun is shining on the left side of your azz!! And of course Harry already know's his azz is exposed to the Right Side!!!

SO ... I take this as yet another learning experience.... This blog in itself is pure representation of both you and Harry's inability to communicate rationally!!!

And @ Harry!! If i'm an AZZ Hole... What does that make you??? The Whole Azz!!

Carry on DUMB AND DUMBER!!!
"How about you go over and introduce yourself, build me up, that way I don’t have to brag about myself later."

Wrong Harry. The article contains information. You can read it or not, you can like it or not. I post many things for Irma even if I don't personally agree with what I'm posting for her. But in the case of this book, it is based on 20 years of meticulous research of official government records from the Colonial and early Republic periods. Your job is to refute the public record, not to refute me.

Jake,

You be the judge. My review of Jamal's book and the discussion by the members at the time, including Jamal (Harry was there too but got himself deleted), are here in one of Irma's blogs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...this one is for you Seibra and Clark and Mozell...Dispite my still (472 hits)
being in total shock after reading Jamal's latest blog, I have got to respond...It is bad enough that society has reached such a low until we at times can not always trust our own judgement (Mozell's Y-O")on what is right or wrong or politically correct or even some of the things we see with our own eyes any more...

"WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE WORLD TODAY", is almost the only answer we can come up when we are in the state of fearing to even trust anyone any m ore...this is how I felt after reading that blog of Jamal's(I enjoyed his exchanges of his ideas with Clark)

I have been following the blogs of Jamal's for some times as he talked about his project that he wants to start in Africa...I had noticed that dispite his saying how educated he was, I still could not get over how he could not even write a decent paragraph.well I have two college degrees and can not do math or spell so I was able to fine excuses for this because there are always tutors to help with this...

I respected Jamal when he did not try to put me down or call me names(he is a Muslim like Siebra) when I said how I wished him well, but I could never be able to support any one race Only community. I am too about accepting someone on themself and not th color of their skin to be able to go to any public place they want to go...

but, that blog was all about how useless and worthless and how we African-Americans are so beyond help in acting like human beings that the White race should be more than glad to pay him to get us out of America and set up his project in Africa with their money...

Stupid Steve,

My point is that in the late 1700’s into the 1800’s White Americans thought that we were Africans because they did not know any better. So, they referred to the descendents of plantation slaves as African Americans. Since then I’ve been anointed and I have today who the slave really are and have shown you all that we are a new race of Black American people. But, you are deliberately refusing to make the adjustment which is disrespect to my race and me continuing to say we are African people. I don’t see you as a Chinese man and I don’t refer to you as a Chinese man am I right. So, why you have to fight me about whom I say I am?

Until you refer to the descendents of plantation slaves as Black Americans I can not respond to your article, period. And, I am not going to repeat myself again.

Here also we see the lie he told on me saying I turned anyone against Jamal. And as an added bonus it includes the origin of Brother Rabbit.

Still want to discuss HISTORY Harry?

now that the trash has been taken out ,,I happen to look at IRMA'S blog and that was 2010 Harry is getting the same comments now he got back then he is no use ,,,look at what brother CLARK ''said Harry, what I have said to you is not criticism but statement of fact. As I told you before, you have exposed yourself as dishonest and deceitful in your presentations. You rely on strawmen and misrepresentation, and as such "flexing brain muscles" (ha!) with the likes of that is a fools errand.

And again, piggybacking on the accomplishments of Moses does not make up for the fact that you have done nothing.

now fast forward to 2013,,Harry you have nothing to show for what your talking about just mouthing off with no plan ,no land ,no money ,no book ,no format ,no followers,,,,

You and the rest need to stop sucking up on Steve’s ****. The reason the dumb Negroes wanted to drink from the White water fountain is because the water tasted better, so they thought. You dumb-ass people it is time for us to come alive!

There were separate ice sold as well and the dumb Negroes want the White ice because they said the White ice was colder. You all are some dumb-ass people.

You idiots can not go two inches by ourselves before we start fighting each other to have a White man Steve leading us. Oh, you all shame me.
