How To Make A Negro Christian-Release v1-gctid23795

[kamau301]

Maa adwo Asafo,
My name is Kamau Makesi-Tehuti. I have recently self-published a book that is unapologetically Kmtyw Centered in its analysis & application.
I would love for this group...this committed group...to get some, read them & give feedback.
Was I too hard on 'em? Was I too soft? k.w.k...
The first release about it, cover & ordering info is below.

HOW TO MAKE A NEGRO CHRISTIAN

How To Make A Negro Christian addresses the myth (i.e. lie) that Kmtyws had no culture coming to these shores. It also addresses the chimera of Black christianity. While the attempt to create it was laudable– giving Kmtyws in this dungeon some semblance of religious centering– it also was fed by following the myth that we had no culture/no spirituality worth anything before the Maafa (enslavement). Blackening up images without Kmtywizing principles won't change/hasn't changed any collective Kmtyw conditions. Latching on to neo-Egyptian philosophies AFTER it had finally been completely overran by foreigners without any deep study into it and especially with no study of Kemet (wrongly called Egypt) before foreign invasions has led to the present dearth in Kmtyw spiritual meaning as well as no substantial changes in the collective Kmtyw condition.

This work attempts to start the process of spiritual healing and correct Kmtyw spiritual-historical renderings. With the correct information, it becomes an individual pursuit of truth; the reader is tasked to search out the books, the Kmtyw spiritual services and/or houses in their areas and engulf themselves in the Kmtyw reality. Ideally, more Kmtyws dealing with their original spiritual reality will affect Kmtyw's material reality, i.e. the collective Kmtyw condition.

It starts off with a truism–"We are an Kmtyw people." It then, briefly attempts to lay out why that is a truism. It shifts gears to show that while we brought Kmt over with us deep within our bosoms, deep within the bowels of the enslaver's ships, little by little, that once seen-as-normal Kmtyw reality was "legally" outlawed, punishable by ridicule and death. Since one cannot really divest themselves of culture, esp. a 200,000 year inculcation, our Kmtywity expressed/expresses itself more on the unconscious levels of reality–be it deliberating tattooing Kmtyw symbols like Gye Nyame or Odenkyem on your bodies, naming children with Kmtyw-esque names or even shouting in an otherwise non-emotion filled eureurasiaan-imposed religious system– for a few modern day examples.

The work then traverses to its main area of inquiry and exposition- the life and works of Dr. Rev. Charles Colcock Jones. As detrimental as he has been to the Kmtyw race forced to america and arguably to all Kmtyws, this is the first work written with him in mind from an Kmtyw perspective. He is also barely referenced, if at all, in works (books, commentaries, journals) dealing with christianity and our 'interesting' introduction to it. How To Make A Negro Christian is truly a missing piece of the puzzle in understanding how so-called Kmtyw americans became christians exponentially after physical slavery was 'abolished.' This writer reprints in full and most of two major works by this misnomered "Apostle of the Blacks"– The Religious Instruction of the Negroes-A Sermon and Suggestions on the Religious Instruction of the Negro, respectively. I first follow Jedi Shemsu Jhwty's (Ancestor Baba Jacob Carruthers) sage advice and let the texts "speak for themselves." I then follow each reprint section with a short, insightful, thought-provoking, and sometimes funny commentary on some of the more disturbing passages.

By way of conclusion, the work does what most others don't– offer concrete solutions. The Kmtyw reader– if moved by the information to jettison the soon-to-be-defunct system called christianity– is instructed in certain key books, CD's and videos to have, not only to reorient one's mind but also to reorient one's spirit back to its natural, inherent Kmtywess. There are even sections briefly addressing how caucasoids spiritually ensnared continental Kmtyws and wrongly labeled Native americans.

This work is by no means definitive, but it does get the dialogue started by resurrecting the works of this Kmtyw-reality-hating reverend. It gives a fresh new way of looking at how Kmtyws in this country, specifically, became christians.

Unscholarly critics beware: Damning this writer to the phantasmagorical hell does not interrupt the veracity of this research; calling the writer nonsensical names like atheist, pagan or ungodly will get a laugh first and then it will be met with consternation, because nothing could be further from the truth. This writer is a deeply spiritual man who is intellectually learning as much about Kmtyw Traditional Spiritual Systems as possible and is intimately learning the Akan spiritual system

Early reviews have used phrases like, "Ground Breaking," "A breath of fresh air," and "much needed scholarship."

This looks like good work. I'm going to come back to give some more full comments.

I think that your book will be good. Do you speak about the "great awakening", when the oppressive enslavers ameripeans believed that it was fine for Kmtyws to have fake spiritual freedom without having physical freedom? Are you saying that the oppressors forced us to adopt the foolish religion or that we did it ourselves once our enemies thoroughly brainwashed us?

Maa adwo,
2 things... When you say if it is already on the web, put "it" in between the image tags...what is "it?"
the url where it is at? Do I have to redo the code to make it work? For some reason, when I click browse, double click on my cover on my desktop & hit preview or post, it doesn't upload.

2nd... I would say BOTH!!!
I talk about... I share what a Reverend did to contribute to the actual method of christianizing us (I give actual reproductions of The Religious Instructions of the Negroes. A sermon that led to a book that led to the main way then & NOW of how it was done.)(It is an extension of something Dr. Clarke once mentioned in passing in a lecture I had on tape. I made a mental note of it & many years later, I was placed in a place that had the documens...dc & the Library of Congress.) & in some of my Commentaries sections, I allude to once eureurasiaan left us in proximity, we still carried 'them" around with us in our minds, actions & spirits.
I also share resources for those who want out, or even are already out but didn't have the info.

I think you would enjoy it & I think you would catch some of the 'humor', I think I placed in it also.

Maa adwo...
Ok...never mind about the first one.
Medase.
