Jammin,

When I think of all recent "stealing or borrowing", I am thinking particularily of all the shoulder leans, lean with its, etc.

I used to watch Jamaican singers doing all of this like 4 years ago. But I do not see any Jamaican getting any credit for it.

The dances neither, they come straight from Jamaican girls and nobody gives them any credit.

I heard Sean Paul makes AA come to Jamaica if they want to have him do a cameo on their album. So that is a good thing if it is true.

Good advice. Vote for those who will ensure the enrichment of all Nigerians not just their 'group' and their 'indirect backers' (Those outsiders who just want the oil.)

Jammin,

I think African Americans "Steal or Borrow" a lot more from Jamaica than is acknowledged. I watch this a lot. Take comfort.

It is said that 68 to 85 percent of African American slaves were bought from Jamaica, so apparently we have Jamaican in our bones.

I believe we are a touch more related and alike, except Jamaicans are better, than most AA realize.

Not that it is an excuse.

You could also give 0 and God will still love you. You could take that money and give it to some poor and be even further blessed.

New King James Version or Modern King James Version. Are two of the best.

The NIV should be read for clarity.
The King James Version should be read for lyrical beauty.

Stay away from these bibles:

The Living bible
The Amplified
The Good News
The JPS
The Names bible

Their all just junk. Many more could be added to this list but I have forgotten them.

Voodoo and Witchcraft are real.

Yes

Religion is neither here nor there. Really the fight between Christians and Muslims is a political/cultural fight and has little to do with the religion of either.

Religion is just the most successful platform to run a revolution on and so people use it to do so, without really having a love of the religion.

Also:

People are most against Gay ministries, Women Preachers, Catholics seem the most hated in America, Talking about following the Law, etc.

So it is kinda of misleading to say that people are most against miracle and prosperity preaching. It has a way of distorting what is going on, as if the devil is after those two ministries only.

It's the kind of mind misleading that prosperity gospel preachers use.

Because the bible warns us against both types of preaching. This is why people are against these type of things.

Bible Verses: Paraphrases

Using Christians as merchandise.
Preach for their own Financial Gain.
Some think being Godly is for Financial Gain, stay away from them.
Are amongst you to feed themselves.
The wicked prosper.


The Anti Christ will do signs and wonders.

Labelle,

No. That is the whole point of the old testament.

God walked and talked with Adam and Eve. They still couldn't act right.

God walked and talked with Moses. He still didn't act right.

God walked and talked with the Israelites. They still did not act right.

God realized that it would have to be God who came down and followed all the rules perfectly a human would never do it.

So God broke the curse on Humans Himself. Praise Him.

Everybody who believes that God has done this goes to heaven. Besides those God allows in heaven for his own purposes.

Chinani,

Anyhow, it's arguable that the "father of modern Russian" is "black" but in his time A. Pushkin & his father weren't really considered black. Just shows how subjective race is. But then again, Racism is neo-classism in disguise.

Hmmmm

Quote:

However, Pushkin certainly did not need to embellish his ancestor's own personal history. For the accomplishments of Ibrahim Petrovitch Gannibal are proof of what any man - despite his colour - could rise to, given the opportunity. Ibrahim was treated as no less than a member of the royal family at court and, in the biographical notes on him written either by his wife or by someone in her family shortly after his death, the following statement is made:


", he (Peter) wished to make examples of them and put (Russians) to shame by convincing them that out of every people and even from among wild men - such as Negores, whom our civilized nations assign exclusively to the class of slave, there can be formed men who by dint of application can obtain knowledge and learning and thus become helpful to their monarch."

Apparently they were very aware of race in Pushkins Time. The African as only a Slave was alive and well then.

@Drusilla

One of the biggest mistakes anyone will make is bringing a people together to form a nation without considering the differences in cultural values.

I actually agree. This is why I think it is better to make a large African Federation that all current African nations must be subservient too, while at the same time empowering each cultural group to the kind of power that nations now weild.

We should be strenghthening cultural groups and the African Federation and squashing nations put together by Europeans for their profit.
