WHAT THE WORD BLACK MEANS

BLACK WILL NEVER DEFINE Black People As A Race
Black is not the name of a Nationality, neither is Negro, Colored
Folks, Afro/African American

First we want to give some definitions of why this word (Black) should never
be used to define a race of people. Nor should this word ever be used and worn
around the neck like a badge of honor.
Here are some definitions of the word (Black) and hopefully it will be a wake-up call for Blacks, Negros, Colored Folk, African/Afro Americans to finally want to
find out what their National name is and what their race is called.

Black means: – Death, Darkness, Confusion; Devoid of light: Completely dark, with no light; Dismal, Destitute of light, Gloomy, Angry, Darkness, Threatening, Malignant, Soiled, Stained, Murky, Mean, Wicked, Immoral, Forbidding, Indicating disgrace; Depression, Sadness, Heathen
A member of the so-called black race, A Negro, Evil, Negroid,
Filled with anger or hostility, Hopeless: So depressing as to end all hope,
Dirty: Total darkness: Complete darkness

Seriously bad or unfortunate: Causing or associated with severely bad conditions or Misfortune, Dishonorable: Extremely dishonorable and deserving the most serious criticism; or Associated with evil; The opposite of white, Having No Morals.
Incapable of reflecting light; Destitute of Moral Light or Goodness; Calamitous, Atrocious, Empty, Worthless
Black peoples-- African American person: a member of a U.S. ethnic group descended from dark-skinned African peoples
Blacky is also a term used and it was – A colloquial term for a Negro or person of the dark coloured races;
Blackamoor - (Black and Moor in the old sense of black man or Negro formerly written also blackmoor) a Negro; black man or woman.

In the older dictionary you will find the true meaning of all words. In the newer dictionary the words were cleaned up and the meanings changed so that they would be politically correct as to not offend. But realistically you can’t change the meaning of a word to suit a situation; but it was done.

A good word to use as an example is the word nice. You think when
someone called you nice it was a compliment; wrong, it was an insult. The true meaning of nice is: stupid, foolish, wanting, reluctant, careful, difficult to please or satisfy, ignorant, difficult to decide, trivial, strange, rare, and unimportant. This is what the word nice really meant starting in the 1500's until it was changed to sound more politically correct. I could probably
go back even further but I believe you see what I mean about the true meaning of a
word being changed to suit the people in charge. Word meanings have been covered up
and erased. Just like the word black.

Europeans told the truth about who we were in the older dictionaries because they knew the so-called negro/black person back then was illiterate and could not read the truth when it stirred them in the face.
These older dictionaries holds the truth about who we really are. The black man/negro is a Moor and the Europeans (Caucasians) knew what was taken away from our Ancestors. We are the same Moors who ruled Spain for 800 years. Read the history, it was our Ancestors that took Spain out of the dark ages and gave them light and culture and bath tubs.

Our Ancestors were cut off from their families, stripped of their identity, their culture, their heritage and their religion. And then they were forced to practice a foreign religion which was Christianity.
Our people had rich productive lives before slavery and they had a culture and a heritage. They practiced the religion of our Ancient Forefathers who were the founders, and that religion in its purest form is Islam. This means our Ancestors practice a pure religion that did not have the cultural trappings of another people who try to put their face on it. Our Ancient Ancestors practice Islam in its unaltered form from God Allah. Islam is the religion of Peace; total submission to the One and Only True Father God Allah.

We as a people are lost and needed to be reconnected back to our Father God Allah. Just like with every other race or nation when in trouble Allah sends them a Prophet to help them find their way back to Him. They must be reconnected back to the source and find out who they really are. Allah made tribes and nations so that they would know one another.

Allah heard the cries of our Ancestors and sent us a Prophet of our own race, who spoke the language of his people. He was sent by Allah to bring us back into the fold of nations and give us back our National name that we had when first brought to these shores in the early part of the 17th century. Our name was taken away and Prophet Drew Ali was sent to free the enslaved minds of the so-called black/negro. He was sent to uplift fallen humanity who had fallen away from their God and from knowing who they were. We lost our National name and a name was put upon us. And the name put upon our people was one that was totally negative and define our people as being inferior to the Europeans. This act was deliberate and it worked. We are a people in mental slavery and lost; not knowing where we came from we certainly don’t know where we are going.
We were sent a Prophet to the West and Americanized Prophet who brought back Race Pride, and our National name and our true Religion from our Ancient Forefathers. Prophet Drew Ali said, “Come all ye Asiatics of America and hear the truth about who you are, you are not colored, black, negro, Ethiopian. Come learn the truth about who you are.” Come Afro/African American; come learn the truth about who you really are.

Getting back to the word (Black); Europeans/Caucasians knew who the so-called black man of today was and is. Think people, if our race, nationality and true religion wasn’t important then why was it taken away from our ancestors, hidden and written out of the history books? All we have is his-story, not the truth; not the true history of the Moors.

The word black should be banned from our vocabulary and never used again. There is no honor in the use of that word. Black is not the name of a race; we are the only people on the face of this earth that are known by a derogatory color (black).
The sad thing about this is that we as a people are happy about not knowing who we
really are and where we came from. Our Ancestors had a life, a blessed life way before slavery. It’s time for our people to find out who they really are.
I wrote a poem during the so-called black history month and it’s called,
“BLACK WILL NEVER DEFINE YOU”


Black will never define you
Or tell who you really are
It’s like a disease that starts eating
And left us with many scars
Black is a name I never will use
When speaking of a people who are blessed
Black was a name put upon us
Means death and murkiness
Black means evil
Calamitous
Dark skinned
Soiled and dirty
It means worthless
Filled with shame
Black was a name put upon us
There is no honor using that name
Black means sorrow
A Negro
A Colored
A lost soul
Empty
With out light
Black means Filled with shame
Void of happiness
To want to be called black
That’s insane
It means mournful
Gloomy
And sinister
The opposite of anything good
Black was a name put upon us
I hope this is understood
It’s the opposite of white
It means wickedness
Nothing good can from that name
It’s filled with dishonor laziness
Let’s send it back from whence it came
You can’t wear that name with honor
It’s a disgrace to want to be identified
It’s embarrassing and demeaning
It’s not a name to be worn with pride
Black is a color among many
Find it in any crayon box
Black is the name that they gave us
Like a clown
To be pointed at and mock
Black is the name that they gave us
We accepted it
And held our heads high
No other race has been named like us
We’re laughed at
And others know why
Our Ancestors were humiliated
And dehumanized
Stripped of everything they had
And forced to believe
The European lies
The slaveholders called themselves white
Think about it
It was a conditioning
Our people would not see the light
I don’t see this word as being a part of me
Black was never meant to identify
It enslaved the mind to never be free
Black is the name that they gave us
And still we embrace it with pride
It’s a word that I’ll never use again
Because it deludes to the European lie
