From N**** to Negus

From Nigga to Negus:

New Beginnings for an Old Word

                   Min. Paul Scott

“You hate me don’t cha/You hate my people

Your plan is to terminate my culture”

Blacker the Berry  - Kendrick Lamar

Most of the time when somebody asked K Killa to stop using the N- Word he had a prepared, snappy comeback. He would, on cue, go into a long drawn out monologue about how it was really a  term of endearment. But after hearing his favorite rapper, Kendrick Lamar , explain that  he was spelling it wrong and the word was really supposed to be “Negus” meaning “ king,”  he stopped using it.  It was one thing to be a “real nigga”  but to be a dumb, illiterate nigga was down right offensive…

The debate over the use of the N word is nothing new, most of the time the conversation stays within the politically correct realm that ends with “well, that’s really something that polite people don’t say” (at least in public.)  However, thanks to an interlude from the new Kendrick Lamar cd, “To Pimp a Butterfly,”  where  he breaks down the definition of Negus (Nagast in plural form) to mean "king" in ancient Ethiopic Ge'ez, , the topic has now been elevated to a more historical, etymological and , even, controversial level.  

I mean, for people with short attention spans, quoting Tupac’s acronym (Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished) is relatively, simple  The average first grader can quote that in his sleep. However, to do a deep, historical and etymological breakdown that goes back centuries takes more than just the proverbial “street smarts.” It requires somebody to pick up a book, or at the very least, put his Google skills to the test.

So, has K Dot accomplished something that the culture police have been unable to do since NWA came straight outta Compton more than 25 years ago?

Now, the argument over a positive interpretation of the N Word did not start with Kendrick Lamar. In 1934, noted historian, JA Rogers made a similar attempt to defend the use of the word “negro” in his work “100 Amazing Facts About the Negro: With Complete Proof”  by saying that it had royal origins.

More recently, scholars such as Kaba Hiawatha Kamene ( Dr.  Booker T Coleman ) and Hip Hop artist Hakim Green (Channel Live)  have also attempted to give the word a noble  heritage using the works of Gerald Massey and writings such as the Kebra Nagast as evidence that a nigga has not always been the dude with a white t-shirt and jeans hangin’ down below his  knees. According to  the them,  the original Nagast wore crowns and royal garments.

The flip side of the argument, as advanced by lecturers, The Irritated Genie and community activists such as Kwabana Sakidi Jijaga Rasuli is that the ancient Ethiopic word ain’t got jack to do with the N-word that was yelled at our ancestors as they were being hanged from trees.

According to most dictionaries, the word “negro” comes, directly , from the 15th century Portuguese slave traders and was not a noun but an adjective meaning “the black,” as in a color. But when white southerners tried to say it with snuff in their mouths, it came out “nigger.” And because of the Stockholm Syndrome, we changed it to “nigga.”   So we are, clearly, dealing with two different words.

And even if it did have noble beginnings, the term is now being used to identify white supremacy’s greatest creation, “the Nigga” - a self- hating monster who is programed to kill other black people, whether it be man, woman or child. Or, in the eyes of trigga happy cops “ a natural born criminal who is worthy of instant execution.”

But, hypothetically speaking, suppose that the Honorable Marcus Garvey’s  use of the word “negro” could be traced back to the royal lineage of the throne of Ethiopia to, at least , the time of the Queen of Sheba (Makeda) while racists and white supremacists are using the word that came from the Portuguese slave traders.  If we are truly going to differentiate the terms and come up with a “positive term of endearment,” it would only make sense that we use the Sankofa principal and go back to the historical Ethiopian origins of the word.

That is why Kimathi Melaku El, minister of education of The Black Talmidim, says that the group is calling for the black community to permanently replace “nigga” with Negus. They are also asking that people use the hashtag #replacewithnegus on social media and substitute the word “nigga” in song lyrics and popular phrases  with “Negus.” (For instance, “Nigga With Attitude”  becomes “Negus  With Attitude,” etc.)

Some may argue that with the recent police killings, the black community has bigger things to worry about than a word. But , isn't it easier to feel that you can get away with killing a nigga than getting away with assassinating a king ?

Also, even the hardest brother on the block doesn't want to feel stupid or like someone jacked him for what was, rightfully, his. So, if we can convince the youth that they have been robbed of their history and bamboozled into accepting a false term, perhaps they will ,at least, consider changing their language.

Kwame Ture once said “every Negro is a potential Black man.”  So, just maybe every nigga is a potential Negus.

King of the 'hood

King of the ‘hood:

Exposing the Myth of Self Inflicted Self Destruction

            Min. Paul Scott

“Was it the bullets that took you/or was it the situation society put you ?”

            Blown Away Remix (Saigon and Sticman)

April 4, 2015. Minister Malcolm Mosiah King was in Memphis  to receive the annual Tupac Shakur Peace Prize. After years of hard work, he had finally negotiated a truce between the rival gangs in the city. Unfortunately, King never made it to the ceremony. As he was leaving his hotel, he was killed in a drive-by, allegedly, by a gang member who mistook his black power fist salute for a gang sign….

This week marks the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. Although, he accomplished many great things from addressing economic inequality to opposing the Vietnam War, for most  Americans he is known ,simply ,for telling black people to love white people and ignore 400  plus years of slavery and oppression. In recent weeks this dream has been echoed by entertainers such as Common, who suggested that if the descendents of slaves  just extended the right hand of fellowship to the descendants of their former slave masters, all would be right with the world.

But what about asking the black kid on the block to forgive the dude who shot his homeboy last month. Or even  the kid that accidently stepped on his new white Jordans or the Brotha who merely gave him the wrong look at a stop light ?  In 2015, we need a “Dr. Martin Luther King of the Hood,”  to bring a message of peace and unity to these streets.

Though rarely discussed, the  downside to King’s message was that too much attention was paid to loving white folks and not enough to loving our black selves.

Without a doubt, the issue of Black on Black crime is one of the most pressing issues of  the last 20 years, as many conservatives  are quick to remind us when the world’s microscope is focused on some form of white racism , whether it be a radio talk show who disrespects black women, a college frat boy who does an impromptu N word laced freestyle or a trigger happy cop who shoots a black child down in the street.  The cries of “well, what are you doing to stop blacks from killing other blacks” drowns out any intelligent discourse regarding the matter at hand.

The issue of Black on Black violence is not that simple.

Unlike white racists, it’s not like the average black kid wakes up on a mission to go out and kill the first black person he sees.  So, mixing the idea of White on Black violence with  Black on Black violence is like comparing Jack Daniels to Kool Aid. Unfortunately, this weak comparison often leaves even the most  educated, culturally conscious black person without a snappy  comeback,  as the talking heads at Fox News and other right wing  spots have mastered the art of being right and wrong at the same time.

So, where do we start healing our own community.

First, we have to put the concept of black self hatred into the proper historical context. This is an area that very few have dared to tread except a few authors like the late Dr. Amos Wilson who gave us the outstanding work “Black on Black Violence: In the service of White Domination.”  Contrary to popular belief,  Black on Black violence was not imported from Africa. Despite the often parroted idea that “Africans enslaved other Africans’” the truth is that the “slavery “ that existed in the Motherland was more akin to the feudalism that was going on in Europe than chattel slavery . It must be clearly understood that the Black on Black violence happening on the streets of America today is a direct result of the legacy of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and the demonizing of the Black image.

Secondly, we have to clearly understand that Black Murder Inc , is the phattest cash cow in America. Our self destruction generates billions of dollars, annually,  and if Black on Black violence ceased to exist today, there would  be a lot of rich people on welfare tomorrow.  This is because of the cannibalistic nature of Capitalism. To borrow from the funk philosopher George Clinton  “America eats its young,”  and uses their left overs  to fuel the prison and social industrial complexes.

Finally, we have to come up with a new strategy that goes beyond just blaming the victim.

In Durham NC, some artists have gotten together to launch The Closed Eyes Project to force people to open their eyes to the root causes of Black on Black violence.  During the week prior to the  anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King, they are asking that artists, activists and scholars  across the country unite to form a new Stop the Violence Movement, similar to the Hip Hop movement of the late 80’s.

Killin' (in the name of ) Jesus

Killin’ (In the name of) Jesus:

The Conservative Crucifixion of AmeriKKKa

                                      Min. Paul Scott

A while  back,  many  accused rapper Kanye West  of sacrilege  for  proclaiming on his hit  “Jesus Walks” that Christ chills out  with the “hustlers, drug dealers and strippers.”   However, the idea that the “King of Kings”  hangs out with bigots, racists and white supremacists is widely accepted.

On Palm Sunday, National Geographic will premier Killing Jesus, a film based on the book by the same name by head Fox News commentator, Bill O’Reilly. The movie is a recreation of the life of Jesus Christ  (Yeshua) and chronicles his persecution by the  Roman  Empire as well as his fellow countrymen who were hatin’ on his ministry. What is ironic is that O’Reilly  also serves as the chief spokesman for a right wing agenda that is  responsible for the persecution of America’s poor and downtrodden.

Killing Jesus  is not a new revelation as Dr. Hugh Schonfield has written several works  on the political activities of the early believers such as “The Passover Plot” and “The Jesus Party.” Also, Dr.  James Cone has written extensively about  the Messiah  in the context of racial oppression in books such as “Black Theology/Black Power” and “God of the Oppressed.” But  the hypocrisy  of the major mouthpiece of the self righteous right  having his book made into a TV movie about the champion of the poor and oppressed is too much for a member of an oppressed class to ignore.

What is extremely interesting about  Killing Jesus is the striking similarities between the villains of the narrative and The Fox News Nation  and  between the heroic Jesus figure and the people who are  victims of the  Right Wing’s  wrath.

Follow me on this one.

Just like the Caesars, the Right Wingers demand that everybody bows down to their  collective will. Conservatives have a monolithic view of America and  only tolerate those who have similar backgrounds and values. When is the last time that you heard a Fox talking head say something nice  about someone Black or Latino  except  ,maybe,  Geraldo Rivera or one of the members of their regular Crucify Him Choir of black conservatives ?

Another similarity is that  conservative commentators  serve as televangelists  for the big business tycoons who gained their fortunes by exploiting the poor and paying them slave wages, thus creating  the social conditions that cause the pathological behaviors that Fox and Friends demonize daily .  It must be remembered that genocide is not only the act of carrying out the mass murder of a race, but according to the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide it is defined as “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part ." So the right wing would have been best buds with the Thieves in the Temple.

Also,  Fox News is notorious for “bearing false witness “ against those who oppose them. Just like the Pharisees  and Sadducees started a smear campaign against Jesus, Fox News and others slander anyone who objects to their tyranny. When ratings need a quick boost , Fox always stages an Inquisition and goes after anyone whom they deem un-American. Many can remember the vicious attack that they waged against President Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright during the 2008 election season.  

In addition, although they claim to love “The Prince of Peace,” they champion policies that favor the biggest warmongers on the planet. Not to mention “get tough on crime” policies that created the prison industrial complex and have a disproportionate number of Black and Latino youth on a never- ending journey down  the school to prison pipeline.

Lastly,  they send their conservative legionnaires  to crucify those who speak the truth, as Rupert Murdoch has transformed an office building in the heart of New York City into a modern day Mt. Calvary.  For instance, during the last National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama incurred the wrath of the  Right  when he dared  to suggest that Christianity had just as much blood on its hands as Islam, using the Crusades,  slavery  and Jim Crow-ism as a backdrop . However, due  to the machinations of a conservative media, what could have been a much needed discussion of the nuances of race and religion in this country was reduced to some idiotic right  wing ramblings about knights in shining armor. The thousands of other examples of church sponsored genocide were ignored.

So, don’t believe everything you see on TV kids.

If  Jesus showed up in America today advocating for the rights of the poor , he would be hanging from the satellite antenna  at the top of the News Corp Building.

Activists Offer Better Solution for Durham Crime than More Cops

Recently, at a Durham City Council meeting, Police Chief Jose Lopez expressed concerns about the recent shootings in Durham and suggested that the solution to the problem was to add more police officers. However, a group of local activists and musicians is suggesting a better solution. They are asking that community members raise  their voices against violence.

‘Closed Eyes Project’ invites people to ponder reasons for violence

Minister Paul Scott and  local musician Marcus Cox have recently launched the "Closed Eyes Project. They are asking artists in Durham to come together to stop the shootings that often occur in the city. Scott suggests that Hip Hop and other forms of music that are popular with the city's  youth will make them think twice before pulling a gun on someone.

The Closed Eyes Project has recently released a series of  anti-vioelnce songs  called "Closed Eyes"  which includes a Hip Hop version for the youth  and a R&B version for older listeners. They have even included a "Make Your Own Remix Version" on which  they are asking Durham residents to add their own verse to the song.

https://soundcloud.com/closed-eyes-project

Based on the controversy surrounding recent incidents involving Durham police as well as police departments in other parts of the country, Scott says that most  people in urban communities  have a distrust of the police and a grassroots effort to stop crime  will be a better solution than adding more officers.

Durham Artists Create New Voices Against Violence Anthem

For many years Durham has gotten a bad rap for being a bastion of crime. The “City of Medicine” has gained a national reputation as being the “City of Violence.” In recent months, the violence seems to have escalated, leaving many residents scratching their heads, unsure of what to do to stop the senseless murders plaguing the Bull City.

However, a Durham musician and producer thinks that he may have the solution.

Marcus Cox, of DreajMusic  has launched the Closed Eyes Project and is making a challenge to other Triangle Area artists to raise their  voices against violence.

https://soundcloud.com/closed-eyes-project

Cox, with the help of  some Bull City artists,  has recorded what they hope will become the official anti-violence anthem of Durham. The project is streaming on Soundcloud.com  and  will consist three version of  Cox’s song “Closed Eyes.” 

The first  release (available now)  is  a Hip Hop version to appeal to Durham’s youth co-produced by Prince 8 and also features Hip Hop artist, Big Lah and Durham activist “TRUTH Minista Paul Scott.

https://soundcloud.com/closed-eyes-project/closed-eyes-hip-hop-version

The second release  will be  a “Soul Survivor”  version” featuring Cox along with spoken word artist, Tim Jackson for the “less rap music inclined.  “

https://soundcloud.com/closed-eyes-project/closed-eyes-soul-survivor-version

And thirdly, there will be  a “Make Your Own Remix” version, on which Cox is asking Durham residents to add their own rap about stopping the violence over an extended instrumental and put it on social media under the hash tag #closedeyesproject

https://soundcloud.com/closed-eyes-project/closed-eyes-make-your-own-remix

Cox says that he chose the title “Closed Eyes” because too many people  have closed their eyes to the problems facing the young people on the Bully City streets. He hopes that his Closed Eyes project will make all of Durham’s citizens open their's.

How to Cure the N-Word Addiction:

How to Cure the N-Word Addiction:

The 28 Day  Nigga Can   Dare

                                        Min. Paul Scott

Maybe it’s a habit/I gotta use it

              I Ain’t No Joke- Eric B and Rakim

When an intoxicated  D-Money stumbled  into the crowded meeting, he almost tripped over his jeans  that were saggin’ below his knees. As he sat in the back of the dimly lit room listening to the testimony of people who were  all suffering from the same addiction, he could feel the tears begin to swell in the corners of his blunt red eyes. Finally , when he could no longer contain himself, he stood up and yelled. “Whatz Up! My name is D-Money and I’m a Nigga…,” as the audience at N- Word Anonymous clapped in approval…

Perhaps, the most controversial word in the English language is the notorious “N Word. “ Over the years,  there have been hundreds of debates over should we use the word, who should use the word and under what circumstances should the word be used. But after 20 years of endless discussions, in 2015 , if you step on any city bus you will hear somebody shout out with glee, “Yo! my  Nigga !!!”

It is a historical fact that the N-word was not originally a black thing. When the Portuguese explorers stepped off those ships in the 15th century onto the shores of Africa, they didn’t say “look at all of those wonderful kings and queens.” Nope, they said look at all those “”negroes…”  

When the slave master wanted his cotton picked in  Mississippi in 1815, he didn’t  say,  “Excuse me kind sir, could you kindly fetch me a bale of cotton ?”  He  shouted,  “Nigger , bring me that bale of cotton !”  And when Bull Connor, was turning  fire hoses on little black children  who were in the streets protesting in 1960 Alabama, he didn’t say “ Could you all please get out of the road and let these nice white people pass ?”  No, he yelled  “ Hey, you little nigra’s get out the street !”

Even today, when Tyrone shoots Lil Ricky for looking at him the wrong way. He doesn't say “Peace, my Nubian Brother, can I help you?’ Nope, “He asks  “ What you lookin’ at nigga” before he pulls the trigger.

So, we see that although  the spelling might have changed, the meaning has remained the same; a mentally  inferior, social miscreant only worthy of mistreatment and death.

How anyone can still claim  that the word is only a term of endearment “ is beyond me.

Of course,  we have all heard the hypocritical Hip Hop excuses about  how we have taken control of the meaning and how Tupac Shakur said that it really means “Never Ignorant Gettin’ Goals Accomplished.”   Never mind that Pac’s  statement was made 400 years after the fact…

It must be also noted that the excuse that if we said it long enough, the word would lose it’s sting was not created by some rapper. This idea was advanced by white comedian,  Lenny Bruce, as early as 1963 which was 25 years before NWA recorded “Straight Outta Compton.”

Now, in all fairness, we can’t totally blame the young folks as N word usage crosses generational lines. There are senior citizens who can drop  the N  Bomb better than the rapper YG.  Nor can it be chalked up as a money thing.  A rich dude in a 2015 Benzo is just as likely to yell Nigga  at somebody who cuts him off in traffic as the brotha driving the broken down 1994 Hyundai.

Of course over the last decade , the NAACP and other groups have tried to bury the N word, hang the N Word and burn it at the stake, but it still keeps coming back like Jason from those ol’ Friday the 13th flicks.

Why is that?

Maybe it’s  because none of these  crusaders have had the guts to put the word in the context of white supremacy. And like author Neely Fuller said “unless you understand white supremacy, everything else will just confuse you. “  The problem is that too many of us have focused on the monsters instead of the Frankensteins  that created them. This is especially critical in a time that niggas are being mass produced at an alarming rate.

But my greatest concern is not really  the word itself, but the fact that we have used the word so much that many  of our young folk are literally dying to live up to the street code of nigga-ism.  So, the word that was uttered by Portuguese slave traders and the KKK  has become a self fulfilling prophecy. And the “mothers and fathers of civilization” have been reduced to the stuff that they make reality shows out of.  The addiction to the word and the lifestyle is killing us.

So, what do we do?

I am suggesting that this Black History month we start “the 28 day Nigga  Can Dare .”  If you know someone who lets the N-word flow outta his mouth like water,  double dog dare him not to use the word during February. And just to make the bet more interesting , make him drop a buck in a special can  everytime he uses the word. And after the month is over, donate the money to a program that is helping young black boys and girls. (Now, I know some of ya’ll are gonna need a bucket instead of a can. )

Now, I am under no delusion that come March 1st, all the Brotha’s in the hood will pull their pants up and the Sista’s will stop posting half naked twerk videos on Youtube.  But if we can change our vocabulary for one month, maybe we can change our behavior for a lifetime.

False Gods and Fake Kings

False Gods and Fake Kings:

The Hebrew Israelite Influence on Hip Hop

                                      Min. Paul Scott

“Moses had to be of the Black race/cuz he spent 40 years in Pharaoh's Place”

               Why Is That?  Boogie Down Productions

The new movie,  Exodus: Gods and Kings,  has drawn a lot of heat because of the producer’s choice to, once again, select a white cast to portray the Egyptians and the Jews of the Old Testament.  To make matters worst, media mogul, Rupert Murdoch further ticked people off when he tweeted  the ludicrous question “since when are the Egyptians not white?” I guess if Murdoch decided to do a Hip Hop version of  Exodus,  the movie would star  Macklemore as  Ramesses the Great , Iggy Azalea as Nefretiri and Eminem as Moses.

The question of the color of the ancient Egyptians and the original Jews has long been debated by scholars. Historically, white scientists have chosen to place a lily white civilization smack dab in the middle of the hot sands of Northern Africa.  Thankfully, black scholars such as Cheikh Anta Diop (The African Origin of Civilization) , Yosef ben-Jochannan  (We the Black Jews) and Anthony Browder (Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization)  have dedicated their lives to correcting this misrepresentation of history.  Interestingly enough, several white writers  such as Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis) , Martin Bernal (Black Athena)  and Arthur Koestler  (The Thirteenth Tribe) have presented a more ,historically, accurate truth in their works. White authors such as Sigmund Freud (Moses and Monotheism) and Gary Greenberg (The Bible Myth) have even suggested that Moses, himself, might have been an Egyptian.

Also, there have been numerous religious groups that have challenged the idea of white Judaism since the early 20th century, such as “The Church of God and Saints of Christ,” and the “African Hebrew Israelites” who relocated to Dimona, Israel.  We must never forget that it was Rabbi Arnold Josiah Ford  who wrote the Universal Ethiopian Hymnal for Marcus Garvey’s UNIA, the largest black movement in American history.

However, the history of Black Jews (correctly known as  Hebrew Israelites)  is rarely discussed in this country. Movies like “The Ten Commandments “ have made Moses look like Charlton Heston instead of Wesley Snipes.

Even in Hip Hop, while rap  historians have focused on the Islamic  influence on the genre, relatively little attention has been paid  to the influence of the Hebrew Israelite teachings. There have been many stories written on Rakim, Brand Nubian and Poor Righteous Teachers and their use of Hip Hop to “civilize the 85” but little has been written about artists like Killah Priest and Hell Razah using Hebrew teachings to “ gather the lost tribes.”

One of the first instances of Hebrewism in Hip Hop was Doug E. Fresh and The Get Fresh Crew’s  1985 hit, “The Show.” While the lyrics  contained basically, esoteric Hebrew references,  indiscernible to the untrained ear,  Doug E Fresh’s other works such as “All the Way to Heaven” showed the influence of the Torah more directly. By the time he released “ Aiight” there was little doubt that he was reppin’ the 144 (thousand) as he wore  the Star  of David emblem at the beginning of the video and featured a cameo by some Hebrew Israelites at the end.

In 1989 , Boogie Down Production’s  front man KRS One put writer Ella Hughley’s passage from her book,  “The Truth About Black Biblical Hebrew-Israelites “ into lyrical form on the song  “Why Is That?.” For many Hip Hop fans that was their first exposure to a black Biblical genealogy. He also used part of the same lyrics during the opening of the video for “You Must Learn.”

Years, later the Hebrew teachings came courtesy of Wu Tang affiliates , Sunz of Man. One of the most instrumental albums  out of the Sunz of Man collective was Killah Priest’s solo joint, “Heavy Mental” which featured the classic cut “B.I.B.L.E (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.)

It must be noted that rappers, Drake and Shyne are also Jewish. However, they embrace a more “Orthodox” form of Judaism that differs from the teachings of the Hebrew Israelites.

So the question must be asked, with the influence of Hebrew teachings on Hip Hop, why has there been no large movement to emerge like the Five Percenters or the Nuwaubians. Although there is plenty of 5% terminology embedded within Hip Hop, where is the Hebrew swag? On almost every award show , some rapper yells  “PEACE! “ after he receives his trophy. But when is the last time you heard a rapper yell out “Shalom ?”

Perhaps the reason is because of the strict laws and statutes attached to the Torah as opposed to the NGE (5%) ideology of being I Self Lord And Master.  Or maybe, it is because the racial identity of the “Chosen People” is still too much of a taboo topic to be discussed in a Hip Hop industry that has no problem promoting black genocide on a continuous basis.

But in a time when movies like Exodus; Gods and Kings, are being released, Hip Hop should be some of the strongest voices correcting the historical errors portrayed in the film. Unfortunately, there has been mostly silence from the usually opinionated rap crowd.

The prophets of the Old Testament talked about how the Children of Israel would be a scattered people. This Is especially true in Hip Hop. However, they also prophesied that one day “ a remnant would return.”  With our people living in almost total darkness, it is time for those who are supposed to be chosen to give light to the world to unite!

As we approach 2015, “the dry bones in the valley”  must  connect so we can stand up and be an exceedingly great army to save our people from destruction.

Shalom!
