*If you're Black -get back!
If you're white- you alright
If you're Brown -stick around
If you're Yellow- you must be one mellow fellow!*
*I don't want nuthin' black - but a Cadillac*
-African in Amerikkka popular expressions of color stratification circa 1940.
The issue of skin tone for African's in the Diaspora is the direct result of rape and brutality of
enslavement. This result has been used to *divide and conquer* the dark peoples by racist Imperialists.
One's skin tone and hair texture is part of an imagery that is used as a tool of politics. Politics
is the public mask of those who secretly manipulate and control the leaders of the masses.
African in amerikka leaders are selected from the masses and are a part of the problem never a
solution. The debasement of all African Culture for financial gain is all that we see around us.
One will find that the original African's were color coded as pure black. This is echoed in the anti-African
parody of Blackface. In the USA we have various shades of browns or our *muddy waters* the
mixtures of Blacks forced to breed on the plantations.
We all have heard the term *red bone*, a category which originally indicated the children of
African's who escaped slavery and mixed with the Native peoples of America.
Yellow or *high yellow* or light skin slaves were firstly the result of white men who
released their violent ardor in the slave quarters at night.
Another category was the *bright, light and damn near white* which are very fair complexed Blacks
who though they are pale still carry recognizable African features and traits. In New Orleans and in Haiti these were the
Creoles.
Lastly we have those mixed blacks who somehow looked just as white as any white person carried no
distinction or marking of the African genotype. In New Orleans these people were the *passe bon*. They had the
option of living in the world as a white person or PASSING FOR WHITE.
In Brazil the color code of skin tone categories are preto or black; escuro- dark skinned; mulato escuro - medium
browns to reds; and mulato claro- lightskinned.
The Nation of Islam's story of Yacub was a reverse-engineered version of slavery's color
code that attempted to turn the tables and remove the effects of self-hatred and image rejection in the thinking of persons
of color in urban America.
Unfortunately critics who say the story of Yacub served only to evoke hatred
and racism miss the point. The Myth was a major Work, a strong, fast acting Medicine, put together by a Master
Hoodoo (W.D. Fard) to purge in one generation the cummulative effects of enslavement, Blackface and the Minstrel
Shows on the African in amerikkka psyche.
The First Color Wheel : The Kongo Cosmogram
If the various shades of brown are looked at in the diagram of the Kongo cosmogram as being located between the
black sun or KALA point and the red sun of TU KULA and the various shades of yellow are seen
as being found between the red of TU KULA and white LUVEMBA sun we will have graphed the
full spectrum of human skin shades.
Of course the MUSONI POINT is said to be *yellow* by Fu-Kiau which will confuse. We see the Musoni
Point not as the color yellow but as being part of the SPIRITWORLD and therefore colorless. We say that Musoni
is metaphorically golden as in the golden strands of DNA, as in the cache memory of the SOUL or
the permanent atom of the SOLAR DISK.
Of Locks and Top Knots
The secondary indicator of slave rank was HAIR. The texture, length and color of the hair were direct
keys to how African you were. The African woman in amerika 's obsession with her hair texture made Madame C.J. Walker into
the first black millionaire.
All people of color are being manipulated in an all out war on their self-concepts, a
war that continues to be fought in the media especially in MUSIC VIDEOS with the continued elevation of the fair over
the dark, the long haired over the short, the lighter eye over the dark, the thin over the *thick*.
The slave color rankings and other genetic markers exist in some form throughout
the whole of the Diaspora and now due to the export of printed and electronic media have reached back into Africa.
Today Black women want blonde hair and blue eyes, red hair and green eyes while European women add collogen
to their lips and buttocks. What madnesss what insanity we live in where the masses have managed to hate themselves FOR others,
even MORE than the others who hate them!!!
So it sounds like Yacub's Color Science should not have been dismissed without symbolic
analysis. The information held within Itself teachings that when unwound or decoded could trace the source
of foreign principles and concepts which were added to the African group mind and the effects
they had over time which were destructive to the entire race.
The Orb of Djenra says:
This subject is our HOLY WAR. It is the result of the hate that created slavery and served
to faciliate a destructive self-hatred in ALL African's in the America's. The legacy of enslavement is MASOCHISM, a
masochism which lies under the varying degrees of self-hatred which have been keyed into a color scale.
Africans are the Mothers and Fathers of all HUE-MANITY. People of African descent are marked and recognized
by their genetic code but not defined or limited by it. It is not the hue or shade of your skin that makes one
African in the 21st century, but the contents of heart and mind.
How correct you are depends on how much of your Real Self you have retrived/ reclaimed/ salvaged
from the ruined temples of an interior Motherland.
