Introduce Yourself

Greetings I am Conscious Plat, a Nubian Queen who is a singer, writer and poet. I create songs with very powerful messages. My songs and videos are located on the top links of the website. I also have a few of my songs playing in the music player on the front page. I created this site to promote Unity and to create an online environment which is free of negativity, and filled with Unity! I have asked the Ancestors to guide me in the right direction while I work on building this site. I thank you all for your membership and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Salamu (Greetings),

I am Imhotep VII a.k.a. Michael. I am on a Sankofa journey to get back to my ancestral roots. My journey started ten years ago when friend of mine gave me a copy of Chancellor William's "Destruction of Black Civilization". I read the book, but if did not truly take root until much later. When Obama ran for President in 2008, I watched as Euro-Americans started to become unglued at that thought of a Black president. Some of those were people whom I thought were "friends". The final lighting bolt hit when i watched " A Great and Mighty Walk" w/ Dr. John Henrik Clarke. That is when the lights turned on full intensity. I started reading his book "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust". My mouth dropped. I started reading everything from Dr. Amos Wilson, Neely Fuller Jr, Carter G. Woodson, and others. As a follower of Christ, I used to believe that is was "un-biblical" to embrace one's heritage. I now know that I was wrong. The Bible NEVER teaches that. I was afraid to embrace my Africaness because I thought it was "divisive" and did not promote unity amongst believers of all colors. I know better now. We were created by God to be unique, not clones. I now know that I am not "racist" because I embrace who I am. I have learned to love my people with a love I never experienced before. I used to push away, now I embrace. I used to fear, but now I fight for our people. Like Sojourner Truth, MLK, , and Marcus Garvey I seek only the freedom of our people which will result in the freedom of other people. I have little patience for . fake "conscious" people who seek not the good, but the destruction of our people through shoddy and suspicious "scholarship" a.k.a. "Wikipedia Warriors" which make our movement look like a bunch on children throwing a temper tantrum. I hope to network and get to know others who have the common goal of seeing our people healed from the poison of Eurocentrism.

HTP Family,

I am TSpencer. I may come back and write more later. For now I want to say that Conscious Plat and the Ancients have built a beautiful, inspiring site. I am honored to be a member here of this still-growing community. I will definitely share it and Conscious Plat's amazingly profound sound and words with my family and friends. I hope this is a community where its members can be activated for change.

Dua'u

Artist: SWAYNE

Project: Sober Content

Release Date: May 16, 2011

Bio: SWAYNE, is a Buffalo & Western NY Regional Hip-Hop Vet that has recorded 8 solo projects since 1998 (10 total). He is the Founder of Contemporary Praise Ministries, Ordained Independent Minister, and Outreach Specialist. His talents include: Husband, Father, Disabled Recording Artist, Producer, Motivational Speaker, and Mentor.

SWAYNE believes in being himself, even at the expense of passing up on the opportunity to make the "Big Bucks" like so many Hip-Hop Artists today. He takes his responsibility of being a positive example to his Wife, Children, Family, and People very seriously, and his heart beats for the Urban Community.

If you are Lookin' for "Gangsta," you're in the wrong place! SWAYNE makes it clear he's a Man that can take care of business, but not a Gangsta!

SWAYNE's upcoming project, Sober Content is a 12 song Eye Opener! He fuses Motivation, Inspiration, Black History and Lyricism in such a way that will keep you captivated!

Sober Content is more than CD full of songs, it's an Eye-Opening Masterpiece versed by a Man that was told he would "Never" use his voice for music again!

In closing, We leave you with SWAYNE's Battle Cry:

"YOU CAN NEVER GIVE UP, YOU CAN'T NEVER GIVE IN, YOU CAN'T NEVER TURN BACK, BECAUSE QUITTERS NEVER WIN!"

AngryindianRadyo-03-12-2011 Examining American Coonery

TheAngryindian and RBG Library editor Bro. Mosi Ngozi invite you to sit in on a special discussion involving a wide range of subjects centred upon the recent passing of two American African social giants: musician / poet Bro. Gil Scott-Heron and Hon. Bro. Elmer 'Geronimo’ Pratt. At issue is the topic of African self-colonialism and how it relates to the political arena of US and international politics. Topics discussed include: the hypocrisy of the Hip-Hop world in claiming Scott-Heron as the 'Godfather of Rap’; mainstream media and African self-colonialism; the announced release of Johannes Mehserle, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police officer who was convicted for the shooting of Oscar Grant, an unarmed African passenger; the rapid decline of the progressive left and the swift rise of the far-right in the US since 2008 and the moral banality of Black conservatives in the 21st century.

This broadcast includes a frank talk about how far the African in American entertainment has come since George W. Johnson, (1846 – 1914) the first American African recording pop star in history who became famous for his hits, 'The Laughing Coon’ and ‘ The Whistling Coon ’ during the early 1900's. Bro. Johnson, who was born in slavery, made a living basically doing ‘Minstrel’ shows until the trend ended leaving him destitute and psychologically broken. What can we learn in the wake of Gil Scott-Heron’s passing about how we present ourselves in international media? It is possible, and desirable, for the people of the African Diaspora to engineer a tradition of representation that not only disputes the institutionalised racism of the White world, but will accurately reflect our psychic reality and our communal betterment?

Hello,

Runnung across your site was a happy acccident. I was working on a adobe photoshop picture for Marcus Garvey. In images the one you have on your site came up. So I said this looks like good African website let me see... When I heard the music I felt bless because It's hard to find these kinds of things. With the way the world is and where I live I don't see no cultural people. I was born Cultural as a child I saw my self in an egyptain pyramid and I had dreams of Ethiopia. So you kept sing Sister you're doing a very good thing.
