WARNING:
This is an academic exercise which may disturb anyone who is racially sensitive. It is meant only to display many of our dire ignorances and severe mis-perceptions of reality.
There is a practice I make of words, especially emotionally triggering words. I call it disemvowelment. It is when you remove the vowels and reduce the word and find that it is rooted not only in spelling but meaning to other words.
Not long ago I decided to disemvowel the word "nigger". I then used etymological dictionaries to check the root "n-g". It seems that all of the words in our English language with this root are overwhelmingly expressing the same thing; negation, the nonexistence unimportance, or smallness of a thing.
Negative
Negligible
Nig-nog
Nugget
Neglect
Night
Nag
Now we know that the root n-g wasnt what African American people were applying to themselves. We know that it was "White men" who associated the root with them in "negro/negroid". And we know that they named them as they perceived them, as "less than".
I also know that the words we use, especially if not understood, become our prisons. Our capacity for speech is divine, the world is "spoken" into existence, and so, we should care more about the words we use. Words matter, LITERALLY, as they are vibrating like all other matter.
NIgga this, nigga that, nigga nigga nigga, but the second you are in a job interview, you straighten up. You proudly shout this n-g shit among your own though? Think about that.
Do you think your grandparents were calling one another niggers? Have you ever thought of why you do?
It didnt begin until after MLK and true black consciousness and activism died, with blaxploitation films and pop culture taking over in the 70's as the "big black voices speaking 'black reality' into existence". You let the same entities that control the media, who feed us the conception of blue eyed idols disproportionately, popularize calling one another niggers. Its insane!
Im sorry but when I objectively look at pop culture media, "black people", in general, do appear "less than", or dare I say "n-g'ish". They may look hip and trendy, but the messages and positions are all wrong when placed in proportion to "white" idols. And life indeed imitates art.
"But the chains and the cars"...yeh, they made it right? They are so the epitome of success right? Im sorry, but they are doing more damage than good in the long run, and you all know it. Pop culture is a disease, perpetuating slavery to us all, especially the well melanated.
... was the word, and the word became flesh.
The point Im really trying to send here is that language matters. If you speak the language, you should know it, and lets not kid ourselves, racial minorities are lacking in this area. Its understandable though. Its not native, first of all, and then we have a shitty education system, especially in inner cities more so among the well melanated.
Then we have 10 year olds memorizing rap albums before they memorize anything in school. One rap song has more dialogue in it than a child may receive from all his teachers in one day. Whos words are being programmed into the subconscious more often? Whos messages are getting in? And riding in on melodic hypnotizing music nonetheless.
African American people, more than any other Americans are being put under SPELLS. Spelling matters! Words matter!
Are we getting our words from books or HOOKS?!
Pop culture is not our friend.
It celebrates and promotes baseness, the lowest common denominator humanity. That is precisely how things become popular.
Those people that we see on the screen should not be idolized. They cater to the lowest in all of us. They are too often, the unwitting whip that keeps us in a slave mind. They are lost more than any of us, having sold their souls, and their people out for money and fame. The fact is that African American family unit, above all others, was stronger than any other before black pop culture began in the 70s. Pop culture media doesnt help any of us, and has especially helped destroy African American families.
You are not a n-gger, unless you keep vibrating that word among one another. Its not your word, first of all Let it go! Its a negative word, it says you are less than and insignificant, a negation of man, a nothing, and before the 70s, we could feel it. This is why our elders refuse to use it. But in this age of mass stimulation and distraction, we have become numb to feeling the phonetic vibratory power of words, and are just lost in the spelling.
And while we are at it, stop calling one another black. Black is void of light, and if there is anything science proves on this matter, it is that which appears black, is actually absorbing all light. You appear black to them because you reflect little light and instead absorb more. This means that in general, the people we call black, are actually more light than those we call white.
Words and SPELLing matter, as the vibrations we speak are indeed matter.
You are not a negation of man and certainly not even close to a void of light.
Understand the spells you are under. Master the language, because we truly do speak reality into existence.
With love,
Doc
