Martin Luther King Jr. said after Selma in 1967: "We have emerged from the era of Civil Rights to the Era of Human Rights," there was a pause and, contemplation. When Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. moved out of the pause, and in conversation with Harry Belafonte later said: "I'm afraid we are integrating into a burning house." he was not only referring to the Master's Narrative of the Big House, the colonizers' settler state of America, but presciently referenced in future tense the current global Climate Chaos scenario exacerbated by global warming amplified by greenhouse gas emissions from industrialization.<br /><br />http://cdb-tonatierra.blogspot.com/2013/05/movimiento-macehualli-earth-labor-of.html#sthash.3XSAi1lA.dpufchantlacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255116987351106636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-47848746620445071442014-01-16T23:45:51.716-06:002014-01-16T23:45:51.716-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.chantlacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255116987351106636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-73049839655755183282012-12-01T19:34:20.406-06:002012-12-01T19:34:20.406-06:00Rose...Thanx for dropping in.

My internet digging a while back, led me to Joseph Opala, who gave me a spring-board into my SC Gullah, linguistic roots (of which I, and most American Blacks have been, taught to be ashamed - to this day!). His work, for which I am very grateful, led me - most importantly, to Lorenzo Dow Turner's, "Africanisms in the African Dialect."<br /><br />And I don't believe in coincidences.<br /><br />At the invitation of a friend - also "in search of himself," I have travelled to West Africa three times in the last two years and have found <i>so much</i> of "whence I came" as a result.<br /><br />My only regret is, that it's taken me 55 years to even get to this point!

I find the movements to acquire antiquity through legal precedence encouraging (notable cases of parchment returned to Korea from Japan, as well as sacred bones returned to Africa from Germany, come to mind). Scholarly innovations in reviving written scripts and characters of Southeast Asian extraction (Maori and Malay, specifically) are also gaining significant traction. <br /><br />I was just providing you and your readership a focal point of reference regarding Dr. King's statement, background which a majority of Westerners are not aware of. I hope it brings at least a tiny ounce of clarity toward a Greater New Afrika.<br /><br />Good luck in excavating your ancestry.

I have to admit, I never paid as much attention as my mother would have liked during Bible Study or BTU Training. And now, given my continued "crisis of Chistian faith," I don't particularly want to (other than as a point-of-reference for greater understanding of others' motives - as you've given me here). Now, I prefer to learn all I never knew - and as much as I can - about the African spirituality from whence I came.<br /><br />Again, thanx for sharing - drop in anytimeDebChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018798227792356966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178687658619226992.post-10573266950265271282012-03-22T17:18:27.007-05:002012-03-22T17:18:27.007-05:00MLK was alluding to, besides the literal firebombi...MLK was alluding to, besides the literal firebombing of African-majority churches by White Supremacists during that era, religious terminology known as the House of Esau, whose area is known as Edom.

I don't agree, however that he was suggesting a "separation doctrine" as that course would be counter to everything he spent his very short life trying to achieve.<BR/><BR/>I believe as you stated, "Maybe the firemen he had in mind were those among us willing to replace the house with a more fireproof one, or douse the fires already burning by giving the country a new fireproof direction."<BR/><BR/>My list was an illustration of those who many of us THOUGHT WOULD BE OR WERE THE FIREMEN TO DATE - but as it turns out, they HAVEN'T BEEN AND ARE NOT. Rather, they have, along with those who set the house afire in the first place, helped to "preserve the failed house" - Sen. Obama included.<BR/><BR/>We are saying the same things - you just said it more clearly. Hey! I'm working on being a better writer, able to clearly state my thoughts so they are easily understood. Comments help me tremendously in figuring out how to do that. Thanks!

Yet, his statement seems more grim than <I>that</I>. It almost suggests a "separation doctrine."<BR/><BR/>I believe that Rev. King was keenly aware of the <I>corruptive power</I> of white America, that it had traded its soul in it's endeavor to surpass economically the rest of the world.<BR/><BR/>I believe that he felt that the souls of black people were also at risk in this country.<BR/><BR/>I believe that he felt that integration would put us in the middle of that corruption, and that the result would be catastrophic for us as well: we, too, pursuing the American dream as it was then fashioned, would lose our collective souls.<BR/><BR/>Better to stand apart than go down with a house built on slavery, harsh segregation, and a economic system more materialistic than compassionate.<BR/><BR/>And Rev. King's following statement is both intriguing and challenging.<BR/><BR/><I>“Become the firemen. Let’s not stand by and let the house burn.”</I><BR/><BR/>Surely he wasn't advocating the preservation of a failed house, or those who had set it on fire in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Firemen put fires out.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the firemen he had in mind were those among us willing to replace the house with a more fireproof one, or douse the fires already burning by giving the country a new fireproof direction.<BR/><BR/>What is needed, then, are political carpenters and masons, as well as able firemen.<BR/><BR/>The house, then, could be rebuilt within the structure of the old house using the old foundation, via life-affirming, political policies, economic compassion, and racial equality, or outside of the house--a violent takeover of the house.<BR/><BR/>The former is my preference, and it was probably Dr. King's preference, as well.<BR/><BR/>But one never knows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
