Black Bars BHM Book List

"Steady Eyes Steady Mind"

Reading is not only beneficial, Reading is detrimental to your physical and spiritual well being. Reading is also essential to The Black Bars movement. For we are focused on community building.

The Fear of Letting Go

"From Normal to Natural"

I know my views are radical but it’s necessary. Every day I witness my people dying and sadly our oppressor has to put in little to no effort due to us killing ourselves. Since Ferguson and Trayvon Martin the news of black lives has become the popular subject, my ears are continually ringing with the public outcry of #blacklivesmatter. I couldn't agree more. 

Ironically my views have nothing to do with the racist police. There is no need to waste my breath begging for my oppressors acceptance. Instead I'm crying to my people that #blacklivesmatter. I'm preoccupied with trying to get my brothers and sisters  to wake up and take back their titles as Gods and

Goddess. Stop begging to be seen as just a ”man”. You are more than that. You are the beginning and the end of all humanity. And you deserve to treat yourself as such. To my Goddesses stop comparing your beauty to European standards such as Kim Kardashian. Your lips, curves, and skin tone is

what women like her pay thousands of dollars for. If she could choose her race we already know what her choice is. Just look at her dick preference.  So many of our girls look up to Mrs. West as a role model. This is one of the many reasons our families are broken. Our wombmyn do not see the value in themselves or their men, as well as our men don’t see value in themselves or their wombmyn, and in return the "adults" point the finger to the youth that WE created. Something is off balance.  Our families are suffering from this pathological cycle of devaluing ourselves. We have fallen from Gods to man and blatantly ignoring our indigenous soul. Every day we turn our backs to Mother Africa and our ancestors that died for us. We've been taken from our motherland then whitewashed into thinking that

“Our families are suffering. We have fallen from Gods to man and blatantly ignore our indigenous soul.”

modern/western science, technology, religion, and cuisines are superior. That Africa is primitive, bare, dangerous, and disease ridden. Consciously and subconsciously trusting our enemy's way of thinking. Fearing the knowledge and power of Ancient African indigenous systems.

Why has it become such a struggle to let go of our MENtality and tap into our godlike essence. The enemy has literally put the fear of god inside of us and we accept it to be normal. We allow them to control the seven holes in our heads. These are the seven holes that affect are perspectives and reality's of this physical plain.

 Our two eyes control what we see, our ears control what we hear, nose controls what we smell, and our mouth controls what we eat. If we inject poisons into these seven holes it not only controls our perspectives to how we see each other and ourselves but also how well our body, mind and soul functions or dare I say evolve. I am excited to be a part of The Black Bar and share my personal techniques, testimonials, and rants on self actualization and preservation. I hope to grow with you in our journey of evolution.

SUPREME BALANCE

Peace Family,

  I'm Honored to be apart of this site and more importantly this way of Life. Bringing the Truth back to the people. Don't entertain the foolishness they feed us through movies and television shows. The only real "Soul Food" is Organic Truth. 

    

   One aspect of that Truth is that Balance is essential for forward progress. Not just physically, but spiritually. It is the walking of that "Middle Passage" that most speak of and seek, but barely understand. One of the first things you must understand is that where there is no Order, there is no Balance. Order must be established within the mind of the Afurakani/Afurakaitnut Obarima and Obaa through control of Visual and Verbal thought, that directly effect our habitual nature. We must also learn to treat our vehicles(bodies) with proper respect. Fuel it properly with natural and whole foods, exercise regularly, and stop bombarding it with emotional irrationality that does nothing but break it down internally. It is up to us to restore the Balance within ourselves, our communities and in our relationships. There is no Success or Progress where disorder and chaos is allowed to reside. 

    Learn to Master your Mind, and Discipline your Body. Both planes are interdependent with each other. True Power lies within balancing the seen and unseen. Half Power is no Power.

Peace

The Makings of a Man

February in Obarima takes us at The Black Bar to the principle of BALANCE.  

 "Establish that Balance in every aspect of your existence" 

"An Afurakani obarima recognizes that he does not exist as an individual separate from other created entities"

Spread the Wealth... As Men!!! There is a mental rift within the human family. That rift begins at boys and ends at Men. It is our Job  to lead our comunities and respected families as MEN. It is our fraternal duties as Men to insure the well being of our children and women. Physically, Mentally, Financially, Educationally, Spiritually, and Emotionally. It's is of our fraternal duties raise our children as boys and girls into Men and Women. It is of our fraternal duties to insure that our respected Women feel comfortable as Women. And that they feel empowered and free to express their creativity and passion to the hight of their abilities. It's your job to insure that the woman you are building with is in fact a Woman in ever compacity of the word. But where does that start?

It starts at being a Man. You see The Black Bar deals with Manhood in particular but not exclusively. The Black Bar deals with Man in particular because it is "Man"perscribed with the task of building a house, a family, a culture, a NATION, but it is not for hisself that he builds these things. It's is for his respected complimentary opposite(Woman) and his offsprings(Children). 

So why is being a Man first, so important? Anyone can build a house, start a family(lay and make children), claim a culture, declare a nationality or run a nation? Right? For history has shown Kings pass to leave the throne to their 8 year old son to rule a nation. But it is about Respect! Men respect Men not Boys. 

Again I point you to The Black Bar's logo. It would be beneficial to note that there is much to the science of an image. Within the black bar's logo, you have a black rectangle or bar surrounded by a white square. This is not by accident. This signifies that we understand that even though The Black Bar is geared towards Afurakani or Black Excellence in particular, the game is not predicate to Afurakani or Blacks exclusively. We are prived to and effected by the existence, decisions, and culture of other diasporas led by Men. 

Amongst us(society) is a subculture of Boy/Girl spirit that's being celebrated. These bright colors and cartoonish narratives and personas. This New Cool. While there's remotely wrong with these attributes. The Fact remains that these attributes does not garner respect. The spirit of the gathering and showcasing of materials. The Mansions, the mansion parties, the cars, clothing, and jewelry. It's ok to have and strive to have such things. Only in respect that we are also building those traits that truly garner respect. Things that are truly the essence of success and prosperity. Things that truly raise not only your personal social status, but also evolves the wealth of your culture as a whole. Attributes such as writing skills, linguistics, the nature of children’s numerical, arithmetical, and mathematical understanding, our scientific understanding of health and dietary aid, the social empathy of our community, the financial intelligence of our community, ect. These are the attributes, conversations, and responsiblities of Men and Women. Not the worries of Boys and Girls. 

I can't take a man serious who only can engage in conversation about sports and entertainment. Who can diligently argue the date of the latest sneaker drop. But in reference to the current state of his community he rangs quite. In reference to the education of his children he's mute. In reference to the emotional condition of his woman he's clueless or indifferent. Now me of all people is not one to suggest that personal apprence is not important and should be held to a standard. But again, this thing is about Balance...

So Who's ready to get into some GrownMan Shit? February in America is prescribed to us to be Black History Month. Well we at The Black Bar are dedicating February to Black Men who have put that work in in antiquity and also Black Women in respect to the months overall divine principle being Balance. This month at The Black Bar will bring you personal narritives, interviews, autobiographies, must read books, and more in respect to Black Excellence... So Stay Tuned and Stay Sharp
