Jim Crow 2015

Peace.

For those of y'all not paying attention, there is a new law on the books in Indiana. It's called “the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.” And it's some pure bullshit.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act says the government cannot "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow their religious beliefs, unless it can prove a compelling interest in imposing that burden or do so in the least restrictive way.

Proponents of the law say it will prevent the government from infringing on people and their ability to exercise their religious beliefs. Whereas, opponents say it could allow business owners to legally discriminate against the LGBT community.

The LGBT community???? This law gives carte blanche for ANY kind of discrimination against any person... for ANY reason. All you have to say is, “It's against my religion.”

I'm not going to speak on all religions, but I am well versed in Christianity and by default Judaism. There is a lot of scary shit in the Christian Bible that folks could say is in violation of their religious beliefs. Have you read the 19th chapter of Judges? Don't forget African slavery was given the Christian “ok.”

“Sir, why did you kill your brother?” “Because he cursed at my parents. Ala Leviticus 20:9”

“Sir what are you doing?” “Collecting stones because we are about to kill the neighbor girl. We heard that she was no longer a virgin and SHE couldn't prove that she is. Ala Deuteronomy 22:20-1.”

“Doctor Jones, why are you refusing to perform CPR on this man?” “Because it's Sunday. Ala Exodus 35:2”

“Why are you making slaves of these people who opened their home to you?” “Deuteronomy  20:10-17 says that is how you treat people.”

And so forth..... I actually agree with 1st Corinthians 11:6....

As a 5%er, a woman, a Black person, I take notice of everything that involves discrimination based on religious principles. Because those same discriminatory principles and practices can be applied to us. We are a peculiar with our own rules and regulations and our own way and actions. If discrimination is going down... we will get some of it.

I live in the Bible belt. I have had patients come to my office, question me until I admit that I am not a Christian, and then leave the practice in a hail of Bible verses. I don't sit around quoting degrees to people... the way they do with the Bible to me. Maybe I should so they can see what that's like..... Folks come in here all the time and witness. They feel like it's there right. Imagine what fresh hell will come through when they have the law behind them saying that in the name of their religion they can do whatever the fuck they want?

IMO, the thing that Christians get wrong is that the USA is a Christian country. It isn't. Our founding fathers weren't fundamental Christians. Thomas Jefferson wrote his own Bible! (This is why cable is a necessity, otherwise folks have entirely too much free time.) This country was founded as a respite for religious freedom. That doesn't mean you get to force folks to your personal views. It means folks get to do... or not do.... whatever they want.

What NEEDS to happen is some non-Christians need to be the ones who get to ram their religious beliefs down the throat of several Christians, and see how that works out for them. Muslims, Hindus, Wiccans, ATR faiths, and especially the folks who love Satan, all need to bumrush Indiana and make them jokers feel super uncomfortable. And when folks complain. Say, “I can't do that which violates my religion.”

Post Racial Society & 34:40

Peace.

Ever since the election of my beloved president, President Obama, the country has been touted as “Post Racial America.” Y'all know that's bullshit right? White folks feel like since they got him elected that means that racism is officially over. It's like they have put cocoa butter on a scar and it disappeared. They feel that they can do ANYTHING they want and no one can say they are racist because they elected a Black president. him/devil did elect the man. If every Black person in the country voted for him (and we know many Black people won't/can't/don't vote) and no one else, he would have not even made it out of the primary. Black people are still 10% of the population of said country.

Y'all see them act a fool? It's insane. They want to use the n-word. They want to wear Black-face. They are shooting us while unarmed and in some cases naked and unarmed. And they are facing NO repercussions. At the very least it's a civil rights violation. They lynch us and say it was a suicide. College students are making jokes about lynching us like it's funny. With the election of President Obama, they have opened up their closets and let the skeletons fall out. I bet they reachd in the back and found their Klan robes. I wouldn't be surprised when they start wearing them freely and publicly to the grocery store. It will be a fashion statement. It's like it's 1949 up in here. But there will be some fool assed Black people wearing Klan fashion too. SMH.

Some of us have Stockholm syndrome. We have been abused for so long we now welcome and participate in the abuse because it's all we know. All these “new Black” people talking about the white man hasn't done anything wrong. Every Black person on the planet knows that them celebs and rich people saying that are only trying to keep their money. The devil giveth, the devil takest away.

Here's the thing... I'm cool with white folks coming out of their racist assed closets. I prefer when my enemy shows me his hand rather than keep it hidden. The average age of current white man who is giving us the business is between the ages of 35-50. Hmmm... that sounds familiar. The ages of the cops who are shooting and killing us. Those are the parents of frat boys. Those are the white designers who think it's cool to name their collections “Niggas in Paris.” White folks used to keep a Black friend to vouch for them, or hire a Black person to hold on to the quota, but that is all passe now. There is no need for it. We are post racial right.

My degrees say that you cannot reform him/devil. All the prophets have tried and were unable to. They also say it's a waste of time. So why am I going to lose time worrying about some expired joker who is only looking out for his best interest? Naw Shawty, I ain't the one.

Their actions allow me to free my conscience about my feelings and interactions with them. No matter how thin you slice bread, there is always another side. When folks say, “Serenity, you're racist!” I say, “I can't be. by their own definition.” I don't choose to share social equality with him/devil. I would never date one. I don't affiliate myself with the things they affiliate themselves with. I cannot feel sympathy when one transitions. I will avoid trading with them when possible. When impossible, I linger long enough to handle my business and bounce. And I have a 'face' for them. I give it to all of them. These people are either unaware or uncaring of my feelings for them... or lack thereof. I live in a world where they make up 75%+ of the population. I can be in their world.. but not of their world.

I just wish the young people had the same presence of mind. I hope they haven't latched on to him/devil ways and actions in such a way that they mimic. You know when devils feel like they have lost it all, they either become serial killers or commit suicide. People of my generation learned from people who experienced jim crow 1st hand. We know the rules of engagement and avoidance. These young people... not so much.

I feel bad for our forbears, though. They thought they cured racism. They didn't. The couldn't. It's and integral part of him/devil DNA. It's not something they learn... It's who they are. There is no such thing as “good white people” and I say that because white people will NEVER let POC's forget that they are white and you aren't. And they have never said no to the privilege that they receive because they were born white. With the system set up like that.... there is nothing you can do but take them of your planet. And that is my suggestion for all the POCs out there. Wake the fuck up and see what is happening all around you. Then take steps to safeguard you, your family and your community.

Today's Mathematics: 10:36

Peace.

10:36 speaks of eating the “wrong foods.” Now that I am in a fasting cycle, I feel this degree a bit more deeply. Yes we as a nation (USA) are eating genetically modified, nutritionally deficient foods, But we are also as a people accepting wrong indoctrination and hiding it within ourselves.

The physical food thing.... what is the best way to eat? NGE teaches no pork. But that is pretty much all the attention we give to our diets. But think about us compared to other cultures, that's good... and to others it's bad. It's all how you look at it. But each and every one of us are “free thinkers.” We can choose for ourselves the best diet for us individually. I've said on my health blog that becoming a vegetarian was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. But that's me. I shy away from soy based foods. My 7 doesn't. We are 2 different people with 2 different bodies and a 2 different nutritional Understandings. The definition of nutrition is the interaction of food elements with the body. So based on said definition, the individual' s responsibility is determine what's best for them.

So when was the last time you read a book? When was the last time you did research? Performed an experiment? Learned a new language or hobby? There is so much out in this world for us to learn and be involved in. Even in this wilderness. The internet is a blessing and libraries are currently free. So if you are dependent on others or just unaware, that is completely your fault. You can choose what your mental eats.

What's going on in your body? Do you take the physician's word on your health and blindly follow what he tells you? Do you? Do you exercise? Do you play with your children... even if their grown? You got to work and come home proud that you made it eat some fast food and chill in front of the TV... Do you grow your own foods... at least tomatoes in a bucket? No? But you do complain, right?

I'm not judging you. I recognize the bliss in easy non-responsibility. I'm just saying that We are fed the wrong foods in so many Ciphers, on so many levels and we blindly accept it no questions asked. Is that what we say we do? Was that what we were taught? So why are we doing it?

Facebook

Peace.


“My Name is W. E. Muhammed”

I hate Facebook.

Not because of the foolishness that occurs on the site, but because of the foolishness the site fosters. If you have a name that isn't a standard acceptable name then Facebook will not allow you to be on their rolls. They have gone as far as requiring you to show them your driver's license or some other for m of acceptable ID to stay on the site. Here is my question.... Why?

Why does facebook need to see your ID? You do know with the information garnered from “acceptable ID” they can steal your identity. Why do they need to know your legal name? Why? Facebook is just supposed to be a form of media that serves an entertainment purpose. Why do you need to know the legal names of folks? I'm not using facebook to look for a job.... I'm not using facebook to get folks money. I was just over there having a good time. But I guess they don't want that.

The conspiracy theorist in me is saying that this is an attack on righteous and conscious people. 5%ers have different names... that don't sound like real names. Conscious people take on attributes that don't sound like real names either. Maybe they don't want Black people on facebook. Black people tend to have different names. I suppose if your name is Deltaviousonomous, they may not want you there. I was taught, “you may not be able to control what folks call you, but you can control what to answer to.” I will not be called by my legal name while online unless I'm purchasing something.

Myspace never asked for ID. Tumblr doesn't ask for ID. Twitter doesn't ask for ID. Linked In doesn't ask for ID and that IS a job site. No one asks to see ID. So why does facebook need it. Why am I not allowed to have my anonymity?

I have learned a Valuable lesson from the experience. I stood by my boundaries and have allowed them to deactivate my account. Screw them. (1)I'm not letting them dictate how I navigate the internet. And (2)... I have learned to use my email to access different sites. I have had serious issues with logging into sites THAT I PAY FOR because I used my face book account to register. So easy isn't always the best choice.

Today's Mathematics: 27:40

Peace.....

I see no virtue in folks bragging about jail bids. Making jokes about jail time is not funny. If I don't know the name that is on your driver's license, then I don't need to know that you've been to jail. But once you make that bit of Knowledge Born.... you've set yourself up for judgment.

My 1st question is, “Did you have Knowledge of Self before or after your bid?” I get there are a lot of ministries in jail. Folks go to jail and find Jesus and Islam... folks get 120 too. I want to know if you had KOS before the pen. Why? Well nowhere in 120 does it say jail is good. 27:40 implies imprisonment, but nowhere does it say that jail is something to aspire to. So I want to know why Supreme Mathematics, 120 and NGE Culture didn't work for you. If you disagree, then we aren't cousins and I no longer trust you and where is my purse???? You, despite the best teachings on the planet choose a chaos and death over life and honesty.

Any Cipher you enter... and by Cipher I mean, any place you go or try to go... you are asked if you've EVER been to jail. Not been to jail in the last 10 years but ever. It's on every job application, mortgage application, background search, etc. It's something you can't get away from (like being a former crackhead). So why did you do the crime? And I'm going to be perfectly honest.... I don't trust criminals. I shouldn't. I'd be a fool to. Folks that rob, can rob. Folks that kill, can kill. Folks that sell drugs don't care about communities. These are facts. So now I know you are a thief, killer, drug dealer, slow with your child support payments, etc... it's been shown and proven that you are not to be trusted.

Now there may be some righteous reasons to go to jail... You kill the person who raped/killed your child. Yes. You were protesting. Absolutely. I can accept you going to jail because you didn't snitch. But seriously.... all the other bonehead reasons.... Emphatically Now Cipher!!!!

Here is my question... why does NGE treat ex-convicts like royalty? Was it because the Father was imprisoned? The Father was also a veteran but I don't see Gods and Earths striving to enlist. I know the Father took the lessons to the rejected children of society... yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't mean that that's the only people that our message should reach. You don't have to do a bid to be legitimate NGE.

My cousin is an ex-con. I love him dearly, but he cannot be unattended around my possessions. He found MST in jail. He had to find something. We are now the only non-Christians in the family. We were Building and we started talking about NGE and he said to me, “I met many of your brethren in jail.” He ain't lie. I was at work and a patient asked me about my head wrap. I told him I was a 5%er. He looked at me confused and said, “I didn't know women were 5%ers.” I ask him why? He said he'd only met Gods in prison.

We need to do better. You don't get props for committing crimes.

The Business of Fashion

Peace!

It is nearly March. And the March magazines are out. That is significant for the fashion industry. The March and September issues are the biggest magazine issues for fashion magazines. (September is bigger than March, but only by a little) Within the magazines you will find all the the fashions and trends for the coming season. Take into consideration that there are 2 major fashion weeks (in the USA); mid February and mid September. Each week showcases the next season and no the current. That means that in September, designers roll out their Spring collections for the next year and in February the roll out the fall collections for the same year. This is all business organized. There is nothing ragtag or flighty about the fashion industry and how it does what it does.

I ALWAYS buy Vogue (fashion Bible) in September and March. ALWAYS. A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and saw the September Vogue on sale. I got excited... very EXCITED... over having the mag in my hands. It's a thrill I get twice every year. To me, it's the only 2 editions worth buying. I may subscribe, I may not. I know it's cheaper but.... I probably subscribe to vogue every other year. Anywho.... The friend I was with at the time balked at my buying said magazine and made fun of my excitement. I instantly transformed to Optimus mean girl... I was gonna rip her a new one... but before I launched my counter attack, I asked her why was she bothered. I was buying the magazine with my own money and my fashion obsession had nothing to do with her. She said, “it made no sense to buy a magazine and then change my whole wardrobe to be in fashion.” that's when I realized, she wasn't being insulting, she was just ignorant. I don't buy those magazines to be expensively fashionable. I buy them so that I won't be unfashionable. Which is important to me. So began her education....

There are trends every season. You can choose to follow them close or not. But you will follow them. They are unavoidable. Trends govern what you can or cannot purchase. Every year a color emerges and that particular color will be what is available in stores, in fabric shops, etc. What that means is you won't be able to purchase another color that is not in fashion. Say red becomes all the rage. There is a 3 year turnaround for the color. Year 1: it will be only worn by the affluent because it will be too runway. Year 2: all the companies will bootleg it and it will be available everywhere. Year 3: it will be passe. Everyone will have it and be getting tired of it. This cycle goes on every year. It is always year 1:for some color, print, combination, technique, etc... and how would you know if you don't work for the fashion industry? September/March fashion magazines. Lay people who aren't paying attention, wouldn't catch on until year 2. Well I'm a year 1 kind of girl.

Fashion is just not about the garments. These shows govern trends in makeup, hair, shoes, everything with regard to image. There is a reason that you can look at an individual and declare them dated. Like the dark lip of the 90's with the Janet Jackson Poetic Justice braids. I wore the hell out of that look back then and was completely dope. But if I wore it now it would look like a costume.

Some trends, once in will always stay in. Fashion works differently for Black people. Black people tend not to be as affluent as their white counterparts. So our trends tend to come out of re-purposing clothes that we already have. And if we spring on a trend we will rock it until the wheels fall off. Example: Timberlands. Them jokers are just too expensive for them to go out of style in 3 years. We buy them... We wear them... to death. Tims are like tattoos. Damn near permanent.

I'm not rich enough nor do I have the lifestyle that requires me to purchase looks off the runway. But as a Seamstress (14:14) I don't have to wait on year 2 to get my fashion fix. ALSO... I'm grown. And my wardrobe is grown too. That means I have enough clothes from year's past, that when new trends pop up, I already have something in my wardrobe. Fashion repeats itself. A few trends for Spring 2015 that I already have is a tan suede coat appropriate for spring, a striped separates and denim dresses. I have enough purses in the closet that I can match any trend that comes up. And should I need to purchase some things, it won't be an entire wardrobe. I'm already stacked. I can be year 1 on trend without buying a thing or firing up my sewing machine.

But Serenity, that was years ago! What got you all riled up today?

Good question. 2 reasons... (1) Folks still don't know how to mind their own business. I posted over at Facebook, that folks get mad when you know something they don't and it's true. Every season, I get someone who balks at ME for purchasing my OWN fashion magazines. Seriously. There are no words for that level of in my business-mess. Ever since I explained to the 1st chick how the industry and my closet works, I lead with education before profanity. It's a struggle. People get mad when they find themselves ignorant in a common situation. Everybody wears clothes, but few understand the what and how. But everybody can't know everything. And (2) I like to look good. It's important to me to never look sloppy or busted. My Daddy taught me that. I learned to sew because I didn't like how storebought clothes fit my body. It was cheaper to either make my own or do my own alterations than to pay someone else to do it for me. And in the science of garment construction I found a, useful hobby that has kept me intrigued for the last 30 years.

I've acquired the Knowledge... I've put in the work... And I have Understanding of how it all plays together.

Christians Need to Know their Ciphers....

Peace......


I know this is not going to be super popular... But.... I am really growing to dislike... strongly dislike... close to hate... Christians.

If you are a Christian reading this, you just got super offended. You probably are going to scroll down to the bottom without reading the rest of this Build to register your displeasure. I expect nothing less from y'all. But for the rest of you... Let's Build....

I was a Christian for most years of my life. From 15-35. I know the rules... I know the background... I've done all the sacraments... I've participated in all the activities... I've been involved. Not just in your average everyday lay capacity. I have served on the highest offices of the churches I've been affiliated. And let's not forget the 13 years of formal religious education I received from Grade K-12 from the diocese of Paterson. I probably know more Christianity than the average Christian. I damn sure know a shitload of Bible trivia. But even with knowledge I have, still I rejected Christianity.

Regardless of what you've been told, the master goal of Christianity is to make everyone on the planet a Christian. That's what they want more than anything. And it is because of said goal, that they feel perfectly vindicated in aggressively interacting with others. Proselytizing is NOT appropriate. But it does beg the question... If your religion is so wonderful, why do you have to force it on folks? Shouldn't they just want to be down all on their own?

The only appropriate place to speak on Jesus' love with folks you don't know well, is church or the house you pay the bills in. Case closed. If you see someone walking down the street, keep your mouth closed. It's offensive. No mater what the voice in your head says. You don't have any answers. Walking up to another and quoting scripture is not appropriate. Walking up to folks and advertising your church is not appropriate. Holding people hostage with your faith is not appropriate. You know Serenity always comes with examples......

I work with the public, but not in a religious setting. Now while I'm at work, folks will come in here and start praising the Christian mystery god. That's inappropriate. I don't know what they are expecting me to do. Shout with them? Don't expect me to (a) do it with you and (b) like it. What I do when folks do that is leave the room. I don't try to be discreet either. I just bounce mid-praise. I can't curse the patients out. I can't tell them how I really feel. They have me in a tight spot. But, when I go outside the office... I can say that I'm on break and let it fly... and I do. But alas, folks aren't always smart enough and/or brave enough to follow.

My mother, lives across the street from a public high school. Apparently, they rent space to a Christian church on Sundays because they hang flags at the curb. I saw that and got instantly annoyed. My mother asked why. I said it's inappropriate. That's a public school and there is a conflict of interest. They should know better to keep church and state separate. Of course my evangelist mother says that I was overreacting. So I ask her how would she feel if the school had flags out in front advertising a Luciferian meeting? She said that would be wrong. I asked why and she tried... but she had no answer. Any argument she gave would further my premise. And it made her angry to think her tax dollars would be used to further an alternative faith. So Christians are just supposed to be allowed carte blanche, but other folks not so much? Does that sound like Equality?

Don't tell me you are praying for me. Even when I was a Christian, I didn't like other folks praying for me. Prayer is nothing but meditation on an intention willing it to manifest. The more focus the intention gets, the more likely the manifestation. And people feel better when they pray. They feel calmer and more centered. So I get prayer. But it's none of your business what's going on in my Cipher. If I want to meditate, I will do it. I don't need your input. Not for any other reason, than I've seen how some people “pray” for you. It ain't all good. They make a determination about why they think you need and focus on that.

My mother used to be part of a ministry where they prayed for the requests of church people. There had to be an odd number of people praying. Don't ask me why. I know why, but I ain't saying here. If there was only an even amount of people, my mother would force me to pray. These folks didn't pray the request more than they prayed different circumstances. The sister who's husband beat her, they prayed he'd go to jail and be beat himself. The cheating wife was prayed that she'd get some nasty woman's disease. They smoking child was prayed “curable lung cancer.” These... “prayer warriors” prayed what THEY thought should happen rather than the request. I ain't never thought that was right. Not NEVER. And I can't stand when folks say they are going to pray for you. Is your life perfect? Your kids all solid. Pray for the plank in your own damn eye!!!

Have y'all ever been to a Parliament and a Christian walk up in the Cipher after watching and praise white Jesus? I have. And folks will be all super polite and ask them to leave. Why??? Why not bomb them like they were misquoting degrees? Because folks have an unnecessary soft spots for them. But why? We already know that this is not a faith for Original people. We know that it is used to shield the devil's dirty dealings. We know that our righteous brother Jesus did not teach Christianity; he taught freedom, justice and equality. But we let them just trot their happy spirit filled asses up in the Cipher and we pet them like a fluffy kitten. GTFOH!!! Remember they would not let you in the pulpit their churches building on the day's Supreme Mathematics.

I guess the bottom line purpose of this build is 2-fold. 1St, You shady, confused, righteous siblings that hug and kiss Christians but don't bring them into truth... I'm looking at you sideways. Religious people SHOULD be uncomfortable around us. Not because we are proselytizing but because we live the truth, and said truth is in opposition to those living an illusion. 2nd, if you're reading this and you are a Christian, don't approach strangers and say something religious. That's offensive and inappropriate. I sincerely don't want to hear it. But if you must... You get what you get.



Peace
