I have been trying to figure out the significance of people yelling out their home towns, yet hating America as if their "hood" is on another planet. Some extensive research will tell you who was here first (the real Natives). Today we teach I children about people and the pursuit of free perception. Free Land is nothing without a Free People. I give no piece of ground more respect than another, for it is the "people" of Babylon that make it so unjust, not the soil and grass. I enjoy mother Earth for what she is worth, before the flags and symbolic material connections...she (Earth) exists suspended in orbit as part of a universal balance.It is the people of "what is known as Africa" that are the mothers and fathers of all civilization (the civilizers), for when we just credit the land, outsiders get it twisted & reduce the impact of Earth's womb. We (African) people did not stop contributing to the world when we left home (Africa)... After our travel(s), we (Africans) will return home with what we have learned and gathered (physically, spiritually, and mentally). May whatever God/Spirit/Blessing/Karma/Entity help guide us to our positive balance. Continue the building for INI bricks are infinite.P.E.A.C.E.

I am also interested in the original people's contribution to the whole universe, since we have "never" declared a war on any continent...just thought it would be nice to get props for enduring an unsuccessful extermination. Raise The Black Flag.br.Oh! and a good record and/or book collection to dig through and get inspired. I like watching some sports excluding American Football and Golf (or is that a hobby?) ...and then there's traveling, communicating, learning, Black African history, Meta-physical & Astro-physical research, astrological connections, Universal Mathematics, body oils, Cultural Paintings, Surreal Art, Breakdancing, Capoeira, Beatboxing, Martial Arts, Turntablism, Graffiti Murals, women with dreads, small feet, the smell of babies, tales from an old mind, home cooked meals, black-conscious poetry, Hip Hop venues that aren't calling the price of admission a "donation", african symbols, Idinkra, Hieroglyphs, and Home made Jewelry, charms, beautiful freckles, spontaneous people with self-starter ethics, high cheek bones, witty librarians, head wrapped women who don't have to say "greetings" or act holier than thou, people who don't love their domesticated pets more than the homeless and urban disadvantaged, books with sited references, i like nice booties (c'mon y'all do too) especially with a pattern print dress wrapped around it, building with the Gods, meditating with the deep, praying with the faithful, hugging with the family, conversing with the Queens, rising with the suns, good food without meat, Vegetarian cookouts, live stand-up comedy, watching the world turn... well, i feel like i am rambling. ..plus you probably have better better things to read.
I'd like to meet:

African Drums, Chinese Bamboo Flutes, The Sound of Spoons playing Hambone, Human Beatbox, Turntablism, Spanish Guitars, Handclaps, Fingersnaps, Whistling, Humming, Babies Laughing, Wind Blowing, Crackling of old LPs cueing up, High-Hats and 808 Kicks, Choppy Samples, Gospel Solos, Indian Chants, Niyabinghi Drums, Zulu War Chants, Street Ambience, Church Choirs, Pimp Rhettoric, Preacher Babble, Children Laughter, Weary Humming, Everything Is Damn Near Music to my ears...

Question: In the cartoon The Smurfs, what did the alledged evil Gargamel want with the smurfs? Why did he hate the Smurfs so bad? Didn't he live right down the road or in the same town? The smurfs were originally supposed to be a dark purple (black) color, but of course we know why they changed it. The smurfs are kinda communist being that they all talked, lived, and dressed alike except for Papa Smurf who got to rock his red hat and pants. lol...talk about cult(ure). I think about too much crazy stuff (so, I was told)
Television:
Late 80s, Early 90s Hip Hop Videos. I was a big fan of Anime back in the days of Ninja Scroll and Golgo-13, all the new ones confuse me. Boondocks is cool, but what's up with the price tag for only 15 episodes? Everybody was feeling that Dave Chappelle for a minute...Although, the 3rd season was a scam (lol). Heroes on NBC (kinda X-Men rip-offish), but the show is pretty good, yet overly drawn out. Hey! Does Youtube count as television? that sh** is crazy, right? Then there's the imfamous 10 o'clock news...Where you can still watch my people be portrayed as everything other than GREAT...TURN OFF THAT TV!!!

Books:
I will have to get my own website for this one... WOW!Dick Gregory in my bag right now...
Heroes:
Ma Dukes (that lady carried my siblings and i through many storms, over and under all obstacles, she even broke her back so that I could live out most of the bullsh** i called "dreams"), I'd be damned if I didn't honor her as my ultimate HERO. I hear people woofing about their dedication to people they "think" died for them or came to "save" them...I respect those faiths and I hope they get to come back another day and tell the living if it was worth putting before the "real" Queen. Now on with the heroic shout out awards...Huey Newton, Malcolm X, Malachi Z. York, Clarence 13X, H.I.M (Ras Tafari), Fred Hampton, Assata, Prince Emmanual, Prophet Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Muhammad (the Messenger), Ahkenaten, Moses, King Solomon, Lumumba, Max Julien, Donald Goines, My brothers and sisters of the struggle, oh!, and This old cat from Florida who used to drop jewels in front of the convenient store for chump-change...
You Are From Jupiter
You are exuberantly curious - and you love to explore newness.
Enthusiastic and optimistic, you get a kick out of stimulating intellectual discussions.
Foreign cultures and languages fascinate you. You love the outdoors, animals, and freedom.
Chances are you tend to exaggerate, so try to keep a lid on that.
