The Art of the Mind
Well it has been a long time since I've updated...However, the circumstances were increasingly and extemporaneously extenuating as I had daily tests to prepare for and activities to work with as this was Caribbean Awareness Week....But my friends...As my promise has been made, so shall it be kept...I found a rather interesting little known historical anecdote of the Afrikan Diaspora....

As we may or may not know...When the founding fathers of the Untied States drew up the Constitution for July 4, 1776, terms such as "liberty and justice for all" and "all are men created equal" were in NO means meant to include Blacks as well....As a matter of fact, it was the Three-Fifths Compromise (Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution)that actually stated what was agreed to as a Black person's worth...Now some say that the South insisted that Blacks be counted as whole persons as to strengthen their Congressional strength and, therefore, aide in keeping slavery....In fact, the North wanted Blacks NOT to be counted as people any at all...this would then weaken the South's Congressional strength and help to end slavery.....

Taking this for face value, we are already presented with a choice dillema of what side we would like to subscribe too...On one hand we ahve the South who insists on counting Blacks as people...but that's countered by the fact that it is to promote slavery...On the other hand, we have the North who wants to end slavery...but insists on not considering Blacks as people at all....This is where the Three-Fifths Compromise begins....A Mr. James Wilson suggests that Blacks be considered as two-fifths the value of a human being....

Before one is to take a side...They are to realize that NO sides should be taken...Just the mere fact that Blacks were argued over like some inanimate object is reason enough...The North and the South were actually bickering like little children over a toy...NONE of them considered Blacks human enough, scratch that you cannot be "human enough", either you are or you are not...All of this was attended to and changed later on in history, but the simple truth that Blacks were not even given the minimal respect of being regarded as people is evident of the mind set of the Constitution's authors....

So what was my point?...Well, you see, almost all of those same founding fathers (50 out of 56) were members of some form of Masonic orginizaition...Now, you see, the Masons were strong believers in the the relationahip between man, God, and teh universe and the representation of this through architectural(sp?) measurements and proportions....Well, all this sounds irrelevant until we see that these beliefs were based on the Ancient Egyptian and ancient Nile River teachings....So, the Masonic founding fathers of the US Constitution implemented their Masonic teachings/concepts into the developement of the United States of America's literary backbone....

Well, now this is pretty daggum interesting....It all comes together now like some hypocritical form of historical irony....Actually, it is hypocritical historical irony...The folks that held no type of regard for Blacks, other than as literal tools to aide in their own political goals, actually set up the framework for the nation's government based upon influence of Black mathematicians and scholars, of whom they actually looked up to and based a whole subcultured society off of.....

Isn't that a trip?...The US was somewhat based off of Black teachings from Egypt...And we had not a clue...Heck, they probably didn't either...History has a funny way of doing things like that...It really does.....
