Something I Enjoy and Plan on Doing

I love and enjoy riding horses english style. My favorite discipline is called dressage (the "g" is a soft french "g" the "a " has an " aw" sound) The lady in this video is riding dressage sidesaddle style. (sidesaddle is making a comeback)
What is really interesting is a black horse, cat, dog is often considered more beautiful and graceful than a black woman. Hmmm... food for thought.

Anyway Just sharing :o)))

The name of this breed of horse is called the Friesian. It is a Dutch horse and the only color it comes in, is black.

A Real and True 'Gentleman'

Sar Shalom! יהושע ha Mashiach! (His Abba- יהוה)

Old Russian depiction of the Messiah and the woman at the well. Between the 13th and 15th century painting.

I can not end this week without acknowledging the Prince of Peace! YAHUSHA the Messiah! Kings of Kings and Gentleman over all Gentleman. As well as the spoken Lamb. This week end begins the Pesach/Unleavened bread appointed time.

(He died on Pesach as the innocent Lamb (a Wed. and rose 3 days and 3 nights later, on a SATURDAY.) <---link

This Messiah ALWAYS had respect for women!!

And it was the women who encountered the malak (messenger/angel) first to receive some good news...

Mat 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, toward dawn on the first day of the week, Miryam from Magdala and the other Miryam came to see the tomb.

Mat 28:5 And the messenger responding, said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek יהושע who was impaled.
Mat 28:6 "He is not here, for He was raised, as He said. Come, see the place where the Master lay.

He is the True Knight in Shining Armour, on His white horse when He returns!!

Andromeda (recall the film "Clash of the Titans")-PM
Another interesting figure out of mythology is ANDROMEDA, the daughter of Cepheus the Ethiopian king, who was rescued by Perseus from a sea-monster and made his queen. Perseus is considered the founding ancestor of Mycenae, which was the advanced prot-Greek civilization derived largely from Egyptian-influenced Crete, which formed the backdrop of the great Homeric epics. The later, "classical" Greek civilization took its impetus from Mycenae. Andromeda, the Ethiopian princess and Perseus's queen, figures as the founding ancestress of Mycenae, pointing to an early Ethiopian antecedent of Greek civilization, rendered mythologically.

*The term Ethiopian does not refer to the nation of today but was a general term for people of "burnt skin" to the south.(black peoples).

"Perseus" from the movie Clash of the Titans

pg. 15
Medea (not in reference to Tyler Perry)-PM
Lastly, there is a fascinating figure of Medea who was the daughter of the Colchian king Aeetes. Herodotus informs us that the Colchians were a colony of Egypto-Ethiopians which he adduced from their black skins, wooly hair, and traditions. Medea was renowned in antiquity as a mistress of the magical arts and in legend of the Golden Fleece, Jason is able to win the Golden Fleece and make good his escape by virtue of Medea's powers. There is one other datum pointing to Medea's ethnic origins: she was the neice of CIRCE, whom Odysseus encountered in his wanderings, and Circe, also a mistress of magic,is represented on Grecian vases as a Black woman.

"Jason" and the Argonauts, the Golden Fleece.

***I would love to post photos (of the sistas) but there seems to be a lack of these kinds of images on the internet, however, the proof is in the book, "Black Women in Antiquity." -PM

Quotes from the Book, " Black Women in Antiquity," edited by Ivan van Sertima.

pg. 127 'Clark'
Born in 69 B.C. Cleopatra came to the throne that she shared with her brother, Ptolemy XIII, when she was 18 years old. Egypt, now a Roman protectorate, was beset with internal strife and intrique. Cleopatra aligned herself with Julius Ceasar, who reinforced her power. Their political and sexual relationship was a maneuver to save Egypt from the worst aspects of Roman dominion. After Julius Ceasar was murdered, Cleopatra, still in her early twenties, met Mark Antony and a love affair, strongly motivated by politics, began.







Her effect on Mark Antony was profound. This noble Roman turned traitor to his own people when he attempted to save the country of this fascinating black queen from Roman dominion. After Antony's death, the victor, Octavius, assumed full control of Egypt, and Cleopatra, now without a protector or champion committed suicide.

Historical/cultural fact: Ancient Egyptian people traced their legitimate royal lineage through the Egyptian mother. This says all.
___________________________________________

To Mr. Lyle Davis: I received your comment... Here is the answer:
Here's where the scholars seem to agree: Cleopatra was the last in a line of Ptolemies--Macedonian Greeks--who ruled Egypt from the death of Alexander the Great in 305 B.C. until Antony's defeat in the battle of Actium in 31 B.C. The Ptolemies, as was the custom, were an incestuous, intermarrying breed (they were concerned about preserving the royal bloodline). But they took their pleasure with the courtiers and concubines who filled their palaces. Many of the children born of these assignations were bestowed a place in the royal lineage despite their dubious--and unspoken--parentage.

Many believe that Cleopatra's father was the product of such a union--his mother may have been a concubine from Nubia or Alexandria. Lending credence to this theory is the fact that Cleopatra's bond to the people of Egypt seemed greater than those of her Ptolemic ancestors, who aligned themselves culturally and linguistically with Greece. "Far more than her predecessors, [Cleopatra] made an effort to learn Egyptian and was very savvy about presenting herself as Egyptian to the people that she ruled," says Molly Levine, a professor of Egyptology in the classics department at Howard University.
So it seems that Cleopatra may have had a true Egyptian (as opposed to Macedonian-Greek) grandmother. Does that make her "Black?" It is a question the organizers of the Field Museum's exhibit wanted to tackle head-on.
"It is a question that is nearly impossible to answer," says Ben Bronson, the museum's curator of Asian archeology and ethnology. "What we've tried to do is narrow down the range of possibilities for her ancestry. And when you do that, you see that there is a perfectly good chance that Cleopatra was an African Egyptian. Was she 100 percent African, meaning was her skin dark? Probably not. The Romans, who wrote extensively about her, probably would have noted that. But it is quite possible--given the comings and goings of people in the Ptolemic court--that she was a mixed-race Egyptian." {So there you have it.}-PM

more here Was Cleopatra Black?

Here are again we realize now WHY the Egyptian blood was simply ignored. "Race mixing".

Why else would one OVERTLY and redundantly keep repeating that she does not have a drop of Egyptian blood, it is as if to somehow repeat a lie, so that everyone will believe it. But I do not think that a particular lineage can stay pure without atleast one or two minglings from the indigenous populace. I simply think it is common sense.

BUT! Everyone can point that African Roman Emporer who was evidently married to a white woman!! lol! Yes there were couple of black Roman Emps.

Men: Visual Creatures, BW:Clueless?

("But all I said was I loved the roundness of your ears!!")

Black Women: Is This YOU!!!




Well, Ok not clueless.


There are STILL many things that we as BW still need to get over before we begin to move on to bigger waters.

For example. MEN ARE VISUAL CREATURES!!

If we can get that through our smart craniums, we would have taken that first step to understanding men- well some what.

If while in a relationship, a WM or some other Non-Bm brings up to you that they enjoy the physical attributes of BW. Would one be offended? He may say and list all the things about the Black female figure that he enjoys. Some BW would be offended.

But let us look into this further.

The MAINstream society tells White men as well as Black men and other men, that the caucasian features and figures is what all men should be interested in. After all, "Gentlemen Prefer Blonde." Right?

For years it has been presented this way.

As a woman, I find it interesting that a man describes what he likes OUTSIDE of the box of what society says he should find attractive.
Don't forget "Gentlemen Prefer Blonde", And these Non-BM who goes overboard (on purpose) to describe what he likes is pretty much giving mainstream presentation-- the knife. He is in a sense saying, I am NOT like what the media portrays I should be (*if i am wrong fellows let me know*).

Unfortunately, *some* Black women do not comprehend this at all. We in some sense still have that idea that anything a WM describes that he likes about BW is a nasty evil whiteman to stay away from! Meanwhile, as the rest of the worlds' women enjoy their compliments, BW still shudder behind. (shaking my head)

Now of course if he is screaming out..."Hey Black Chocolate with the big rear-end!!" Now, we can call it into question! LOL! That is not the arguement at all.

But for some reason, when the WM just simply tells it like it is in what he likes and making it clear, he would not approach her that way and then BW get their nylons in a bunch about it, this says to me, that is a lack of thought here by BW.

We still see this fantastically nebulous evil whiteman dangling in our faces. But will permit an open Ostrich wild man dance with all the words attached to it, from BM!

Question: Are you giving WM a pass?
Answer: Read the entire post above. To me this is one of the most stupid questions to ask considering the fact that it is speaking from a relationship stance. There had BETTER be something he like about you!
My Question: Are you giving BM a pass? But ripping WM for the same behaviour?


Let me begin to quote something here: And tell me if you will jump this man!
__________________________________

How fair are your feet in sandals, O daughter of a noble! The curves of your thighs are like ornaments, The work of a craftsman’s hands.
Your navel is a rounded bowl Let it not lack mixed wine. Your body is a heap of wheat, Hedged about with lilies.
Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.


How fair and how pleasant you are, O love, in delights!
This stature of yours compares to a palm tree, And your breasts to clusters.
I said, "Let me go up to the palm tree, Let me take hold of its tips." And please, let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of your breath like apples,
And your palate like the best wine, Going down smoothly for my beloved, Flowing gently, slumbering lips.

___________________________________

Some of you may know who this is speaking. He is a very ancient man, and it is taken from a very ancient manuscript.

LADIES...:o) When a man is speaking to you (in relationship of course), he is doing the same thing this man is doing. He also likes to express it.

But there will still be those BW who are out of their element who would jump this same man that I have quoted.

At least try to hear some of these men out. DISCERN what they are trying to say. And stop letting your clubbin' experience interfere.

(Speaking to the Non-BM---you've run into a ignorant sista if she can not take anything remotely close to a compliment on her natural beauty--take it as a warning and move on!)

What many of these guys have to say in the face of society is a bold move for them. It may not be as expressive as that man I quoted. It may sound "all wrong" in the beginning. But at times it pays to hear through his words.

Shhhhhhh! Release your pride and just listen sometimes.

Shalom!

Your Beauty: Around the World!

Shalom we Shalom sisters...and admiring gentlemen.

At the request of a poster I put up a video show casing the diversity of beautiful Black sisters around the world. These women mainly range from Africa to India(yes the indigenous HAMITO descendants are there.) I think there are a couple of American but I can't tell. Either way, I am sure you can pull out someone you know who looks like these women. Or maybe yourself!! :o)

Don't you eva! eva! suggest that a WM or a man of any other background can't appreciate your beauty!!

The beauty in this video is in its raw form (non-westernized)

Enjoy the video!!

Accountablity and Such Matters...

...and "Love Letters to BW." (yaaawwwwnnnnn)



Another day, another post.

Sara's blog contains a so-called apology letter that on the surface looks good but when you truly analyze its content- it is NOT an apology. The letter still addresses blame on to BW on a whole. A truly accountable person would not say, "I'm sorry but, you made me do it." To me this is the mentality of an abuser, not one who is genuine in their approach but only says such things to keep the one being abused, under their CONTROL.

Much of what people think and do starts inwardly from the spirit. And what I see is a vile, damnable, spirit who wishes to satisfy self. It is pretty much out of order for so-called men to want to be considered a man, but then will blame women for their own lack of responsiblity.

Sometimes I wonder what women of other backgrounds see in these vile excuses and waste of breath. Hmmmm...

BW overall have pulled the load. So it is very easy for BM who has no accountability to blame her. They have pretty much ran from the circumstances like, women screaming from a rat. High pitch voice and all. But once Faaaaarrrr away from "the rat", will turn around and then in the deepest bassiest voice possible ask a BW,"How come you didn't kill da rat?" Then tell her," You ain't about nothin' because you didn't save me from da rat!"

Who is the man and who is the woman?

(And then we wonder why sistas do this!!!)

To women of other backgrounds..."you sure you want that?" Because it is many of these who come flocking to you. You had better ask them why. If they start blaming BW---run for your life! What you want is a man-not a man who is testicularly challenged. If you start agreeing with these BM who dis' sistas and you feel an ego stroke because of it- then you deserve each other and you can live happily in a trailer in da ghetto together. :o) (wow the combining of two special minds! What a force to be reckoned with!!!)

Now let me say, there are some who atleast try their best in what they know to remedy the circumstances of the BC (Black community) But these ones need to be MORE VOCAL!!! Do something for BM, no rally BW together to do something for BM. That is the problem, men need men to solve the problem. If it is a man thing, then it needs men to help remedy. This is alos why BW get the blame, we are trying do a man thing, when we are women, who naturally think different ANYWAY!!

BM!!! Women period are WIRED DIFFERENTLY!!!!

We the "abused" are very tired of being blamed for someone else's "stuff".

You may come up with some apology of sorts, special YouTube "Love Letter to Black Women" videos, and what not. But many will agree, actions speak louder than words! You see, we have heard all of the "Black coffee, no sugar, no cream" songs and rhetoric far too long. It is to a point where we--well I can speak for myself, no longer believe in what BM saying anymore...(as far as being a QUALITY mate.)

If the abuse continues, then BW WILL even more begin to do this:

If you have seen the movie or play, you know what I mean.

But to keep ourselves from going loo-loo. We must leave the box behind and be available for quality men who are not testicularly challenged.

So all of this:

"BW you the best"

"BW we are sorry"

"BW we love you"

...Most of us who now see from the outside in, see straight through these "LINES" as another path of keeping us boxed. "If I say sorry, then they will stop dating/marrying white men."

PLEASE GO TO: ALICIA KEYS

I do know *some* BM may be genuine but it seems the ungenuine are much louder. As I have said before, the ones who do not fit the DBR label need to be MORE VOCAL and let MEN take care of MEN issues.

Men who wish to remain boys is simply vile to themselves and to the women who desire boys...ya know? :o)

Thanks for reading!
