Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness? Pt.1
Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family.
Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness? Pt.1. Conscious used to mean “aware” of BS, but nowadays conscious people are more judgmental than anything. So, what happened? Well, I have said it before this Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness article, but the message fell on deaf ears, so I am repeating it again.
Black Consciousness has been infiltrated and hijacked because people do not understand what consciousness means. Everyone who claims to be conscious or woke is not conscious. They wear all the things that will attract you such as the right hairstyle, say the right things, etc. but they are missing a key element.
Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
This is why as soon as you let these so-called conscious people in the circle. You find out that they are agents like the woman in red (in the Matrix) waiting for you to slip. (See Why I Don’t Trust “Woke” People).
Were you paying attention to me or the woman in the red dress? Look Again!
Today “conscious” people are the most judgmental people I have ever met. They will rock their ankh medallion, their natural hair, and even tell you how powerful and cool their Afrikan name is. But as soon as you open your mouth and say that you disagree with them. They not only want to war with you but do everything they can to destroy you in the so-called name of “consciousness”. Does that sound familiar? Yeah, replace “consciousness” with “God” and we will see this familiar narrative.
Consciousness wasn’t always like this. I remember some years ago, I was one of the first to say that Obama did not represent our community because he does not identify himself with the Black or African American culture. I said who gives a damn that he can play ball and sing Al Green songs, this does not make you Black. I said that our community keeps getting played like a grand piano because we do not have a true understanding of what our culture is. We have a weak interpretation of what blackness is and, the enemy knows this. This is why politicians can come into our community and say that they are Black so long as they look black, can dance, eat certain foods, etc. All while passing policies that focus on imprisoning or killing us.
Consciousness Back in the 1980s (l.r. top: Dr. John Herink Clarke, Dr. Yosef-Ben Jochannan “Doc Ben”, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Dr. Amos Wilson. bottom: Steve Cokely, Dr. Marimba Ani, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima)
Remember, I told you Family that when I came into this thing. It was during the crack cocaine era of the mid-1980s. My best friend and I used to listen to the public radio station in Detroit, where this guy would play Dr. Clarke, Doc. Ben, Dr. Jeffries, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Steve Cokely, Marimba Ani, Amos Wilson, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, and a host of others’ lectures. At the time, X-Clan was the biggest rap group because they brought an entirely new dimension to hip hop. I mean people were still into PE, BDP, PRT, Brand Nubians, and Gangstarr because they rapped about politics, social justice, and consciousness mostly from the Five Percent teachings. But, X-Clan came in heavy with the Kemetic and Yoruba traditions sprinkled with other esoteric teachings like Freemasonry. I mean one of their iconic songs opens up with a mojuba (a Yoruba prayer sung in many Afro-Cuban and Afro-American Yoruba houses) to Ellegua who alongside Anubis is mentioned constantly throughout the album.
Professor James Small
One Sunday afternoon after listening to a lecture on the radio. My boy G and I heard that Professor Smalls was going to be speaking, and that’s how we got into the conscious community. After that, I remember going to see Dr. Jeffries and several other lecturers after that.
Now we both had a deep love for Detroit because we saw how crack ravaged our community ‘with the quickness’. After all, we were the children born after the initial white flight era, so we saw the devastation that was left behind. We both wanted to do something to change things, so we joined several study groups, but we quickly noticed something. What we noticed was that within the “conscious” movement that there were four stagnant groups of conscious people:
The first group of conscious Fam I encountered consisted of older Brothers and Sisters who were revolutionaries from the 1960s and 1970s. Many of these individuals were ex-Black Panthers or ex-members or affiliates of other groups like the Black Liberation Army. The problem we found with these Fam was that they were right about a lot of things but they had no physical means of funding their movement. This serious issue is parodied in the comedy I’m Going to Get You Sucka, with Clarence William Thomas III.
The Future to Occupy Wallstreet
The second group of conscious Fam I encountered was also from the 1960s and 1970s. These were the folks you hear about who claimed to have walked with Martin L. King Jr. in Washington. (Not to be disrespectful but so did thousands of others according to the pictures, ya know?) Many of these Fam members were teenagers or kids during the Civil Rights era, so they understood a lot about politics. As a result, they had a lot of contacts mainly because these were the lawyers who helped bail them out during the sit-ins.
The problem with these Fam was that they were so incredibly disconnected from the youth, that it was unreal. I mean any new idea brought to them was quickly dismissed with a side order of “You young whippersnappers don’t understand”. Some of this can be seen in Spike Lee’s Drop Squad.
The third group of conscious Fam I encountered was sponsored by younger Brothers and Sisters. Many of them grew up like us under the Hip Hop influence, so they were either Five Percenters or at least familiar with Clarence 13X’s teachings. But, many of these young heads were all about smoking weed and being self-sufficient through selling T-shirts. For the record, I have nothing against making and selling T-shirts or any of these businesses, but we need businesses that also employ others. In fact, any mention to these young Brothers and Sisters about college, working with politicians, or working for corporate America was met with “You are sellout!”, or “You must be a Mason or part of the Boule”! I mean these cats had no wisdom at all. They had little respect for elders and spirituality including traditional African beliefs was a joke. I mean a lot of these cats were really stuck on that conspiracy bit. I am not trying to offend, just telling it how I saw it.
Anyway, the fourth group of conscious Fam consisted of a mix of both but they were all about spirituality and esoteric stuff. So depending upon who you talked to would determine how they respond. I mean you might get the same response but it was with a dose of things will get better if you meditate. Yes, many of these individuals in my opinion had superimposed Christian values in their Kemetic way. It wasn’t as bad as when Martin joined the cult and changed his name to Sunflower.

I ended up joining the latter conscious group – the spiritually conscious group, which became the basis of my story (whew!). But, the thing was that all these groups had the same problem. All of these groups alleged to be “conscious” but they were not. They were simply INFORMED.
“Conscious” means you are aware so that when BS comes knocking on your door, you send it away but none of these groups were “Conscious”. All of these groups were riddled and covered with BS because they didn’t understand one thing. Slavery affected everybody on various levels, which means no matter how “Conscious” you claim to be. You still are affected by it subconsciously.
I didn’t tell you but the reason I joined the spiritually conscious group years ago was that there were various parts about the Story of Osar that really resonated with me. In regards to being conscious, it was the understanding that Hru’s eye had been gouged out by Set. This is an allusion referring to the fact that the reason conscious folks cannot advance is that we have all been tainted with Set’s poison (of slavery, colorism, social conditioning, religious bs, socialism, capitalism, you name it).
Another allusion regarding Hru’s eye being gouged out is the idea of holism. If these groups all worked together, there is no telling what they could have accomplished but they didn’t for the same reason.
What people need to understand is that Hru is the hero/heroine and the symbol of consciousness in the Kemetic tradition because after failing to defeat Set. He realizes he needs the wisdom of his/her father’s vizier, Djahuti (Tehuti, Thoth).
Now, do not err as I did in assuming that Djahuti means older people or priesthood, because that is how I got duped into following people who allege to be priests (You can read about it and how I escaped that cult mentality in the Maa Aankh). But, Djahuti refers to the Spirit of Wisdom, which is safer and easier accessed through divination oracles.
I made the pitch about using an oracle for divination a while ago because it is the only objective tool that we possess and cannot be swayed by Set. I explained how there are numerous types of oracles in the Maa. I explained what oracles are from a mathematical probability perspective to eliminate the spookiness about them. I even spoke about how in other cultures, oracles are widely used but in the West, they attempt to demonize them by alleging that they are fortune-telling devices. (See Why You Should Be Using An Oracle).

Family, the point is that if we used oracles, we would have been “conscious” of the various agents of Set like groups like BLM and their George Soros agenda. See Dr. Frances Cress Welsing ‘s lecture on the Emasculation of Black Males.
Again, if an oracle was used we could have detected that John “Grandmaster Jay” Johnson of the NFAC (Not F*cking Around Coalition) was an either agent for Trump or a Spook sitting by the Door.

Family. So Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness? Well, we know that the FBI created and used COINTELPRO against our leaders, so why is it so hard to believe that they or some other entity is not doing the same thing now?
As Talib Kweli said, “You a fool if you don’t think the govt hasn’t already tapped your line”. So, what better time to use an oracle than now.
We have entered the critical point and we cannot continue to rely on our wits and what we think. To do so will be very costly and detrimental to our objective. Get you an oracle and learn how to use it, so that we can defeat this enemy together.
Hetepu.
