Spooked Out Christians



Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved.

I just don't get these type of "fire and brimstone" , "Christians" that think people are going to turn to God because of the hate that is spewed at them. These type of Christians are often so angry about the sin in the world and yet have hidden or unexposed sin in their own lives. It is easy to condemn somebody you did not create and bring into existence. It is sad that we hear more about what "God Hates" than what HE loves and the love that is available to those who are yet far from HIM.

John 8:7-
7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to
them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at
her." 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they
heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus
was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to
her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one,
Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no
more."

These religious Pharisees were "right" the woman was caught in sin and there is a penalty for sin, yet their judgement was not righteous because they only looked to condemn and not redeem. These religious people like the SPOOK in this video lacked , spiritual discernment, compassion and most of all LOVE. I marvel at how eager some are in Christianity to stone people and point out sin but when they fall into the trap, how they seek mercy but the bible says none will be given them.

Mat 5:7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Jam 2:13
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy
rejoiceth against judgment.

God does not hear "sinners" therefore we should preach a ministry of reconciliation and not condemnation.

Mat 9:13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Jhn 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
2Cr 5:18 And all
things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath
given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

I hope these SPOOKED Out Christians have their own house in order or they will get the same judgement they have placed on others.

Matt 7:2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the
measure you use it will be measured to you.

The Mean Shoe Game


“I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about "Where
do we go from here?" that we must honestly face the fact that the movement must
address itself to the question of restructuring the whole of American society.
There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question,
"Why are there forty million poor people in America?" And when you begin to ask
that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a
broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to
question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more,
we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon
to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. But one day we must come
to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring” - Dr. Martin
Luther King



Dr. King began to question the economic systems; he began to do a P&L (Profit & Loss) Statement to analyze our situation. Now I want to call attention to the photo I have attached to this post. What very few people realize is that those four brave souls who did the sit-in in Greensboro, N.C. were sitting in at a Woolworth’s (retail chain store). Woolworth was the Wal-Mart of its day, then in the 1980’s it lost tremendous market share due to competition from stores like K-Mart, Target and Wal-Mart. In 2001 Woolworth changed its name to Footlocker as it realized that sports apparel and athletic shoes was its most lucrative holding in its portfolio of stores. Footlocker today is the world’s largest Athletic Apparel Company with nearly 6 Billion dollars in revenue in 2007. Who do you think Footlocker’s primary customer is? Who actually rescued Woolworth from financial ruin? Drum roll please, it was African Americans and their insatiable appetite for sneakers and all things Jordan. My point in all this is, yes we gained “access” by doing sit-ins in stores like Woolworth but what was the economic pay-off? If we look at this scenario from a business perspective we basically begged somebody to take our money; we demanded that stores like Woolworth give us service like anybody else or any other paying customer. We literally died to give stores like Woolworth our business, asking NOTHING in return but the opportunity to take our money. Now let us consider the economic ramifications of the sit-in’s and desegregation:


“A profit and loss statement, also called an income statement, is a financial
document that shows managers, investors, and other interested parties the
financial state of a business. A profit and loss statement can cover any period
of time, from one day to ten years, but profit and loss statements are most
frequently issued every quarter and every fiscal year. Potential investors use
profit and loss statements to gauge the financial health of a potential
investment, and current investors can see what kind of return they are getting
on their shares.“
“The purpose of the income statement is to show managers
and investors whether the company made or lost money during the period being
reported”. – Wikipedia



First and foremost we must show all due respect and gratitude to those from the Civil Rights Era, who stepped out on faith to fight an uphill battle, to get us access to certain facets of the American Capitalist System. We have all heard if we intend to go forward and progress that we must learn and know our history. Today in Black America we have grown weary of “talk”, so much talk about our problems and the post slavery hang-over. Yet in many scenarios it appears that economics (the lack of) appears to be the root of the problems that the Black Community is experiencing. Our collective neglect of the economic factor as a whole and how to leverage community wealth seems to be lost in the conversation. We as Black people have got to start looking at ourselves as a whole and as a collective business. The reality is, actual reason we got shipped over, packaged and distributed throughout this country as slaves in the 1600s is because the world’s capitalists saw us as a people as “a business proposition”, to be bought and sold. Slavery was business, it was not personal. We have got to begin the process of accessing our own value as a whole and no longer leave it others to put a valuation on. Dr. Martin Luther King, one of the leaders of the Civil Rights era began to embark on a monetary forensic analysis of the state of blacks and poor in America.





Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
GDP. The total market value of all final goods
and services produced in a country in a given year, equal to total consumer,
investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value
of imports.



Every country in the world is measured and assessed based on their GDP basically asking "how are they handling their business". African Americans have got to start looking at their buying power estimated at $723 Billion Dollars and is forecasted to be $1.1 Trillion dollars in 2012. African Americans may not see themselves as a group but the world of business does, Woolworth aka Footlocker does and exploits our lack of business savvy and ignorance. We when look at the Business, it makes all the race card playing, ambulance chasing leading blacks/black leaders in this country look like frauds. There is not any good reason why African Americans cannot create industries of trade with $1.1 Trillion dollars and contribute to the world economy as PRODUCERS. The Tea Party nor is the KKK preventing African Americans from investing and creating business channels. When do we understand the truth like Jay-Z put it when talking about himself, “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business man”. We got to see ourselves as more than descendants of slaves and martyrs of slavery but as a business. Even Jesus understood that you must be productive when HE said:



Luke 19:13 “'Engage in business until I come.'



Now Woolworth, who despised even serving African Americans realized, Black money was still GREEN and they could STAY in business and EXPAND their business off of our infusion of capital. Unfortunately we don’t own Footlocker, but we support them like our life depended on it. Is it just me, but I wonder what we could have done if we decided to invest in African American businesses this fiercely? We could buy our “Jordan’s” and “Air-Force 1’s” from ourselves, instead we just empowered the people who refused to serve us and we buy “our” Jordan’s from them. Better yet create yet just create your own shoe brands. I am by no means downplaying or begrudging what was accomplished by the Civil Rights Era but we need to consider the economic ramifications in any decision we make, if we as a people are ever going to get over to the “Promised Land”. Look at the Irony of this situation, we made Woolworth accept our money, we protested hoping to hurt their business but in the end we gave them more business than they could ever imagine. We need to start doing an economic forensic analysis of everything we did in the Civil Rights Era to see what worked and what did not work to our advantage economically, so that we can apply those strategies that worked going forward. We have got to stop endorsing policies or movements without asking the question about, “THE MONEY”. We have got to stop following preachers and black leaders acting as liaisons on our behalf going before pharaoh without asking them about, “THE MONEY”.





“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”
- Albert Einstein

How can you decide to March and boycott against any business enterprise without considering the business enterprise? Meaning if I am gone to boycott riding the bus like they did during the Montgomery Bus Boycotts then would I not consider redirecting that money to an alternative transportation system that your community owns? We have got to start analyzing what we did, to see what we need to do, in order to go where we need be. We should celebrate the victories that were achieved during the Civil Rights Era yet simultaneously we need to do a P&L Statement of the Civil Rights Era to truly quantify where we now stand as a people. Maybe the real reason Corporate America does not invest in Black America is because they can look over the last 50 years and see that there is nothing profitable in the Black Community to invest in. Maybe they can see that the Investments that were made did not pay any return on investment. Now here comes the harsh reality check, why invest in Black America when they see from our past that they can get our money without investment just like in the case of Woolworth/Footlocker. Why are African Americans so eager to patronize any business they don’t own? Why do African Americans want money to buy but refuse to invest and sell? I think it lies in the fact that we “wanna be like” instead of BE. We strive for an American Dream with thought of what an African American Dream would look like. Based on the P&L statement it appears many have died in vain because looking at it from a business standpoint, the Civil Rights Movement may have made common sense but it did not consider Dollar Sense.

Are we in danger? Are we in need of help? Is the "boogie man" (anything we use to induce paralysis as a race) out to get us? Now that the midterm elections are over we seem to think its the 1800's. Black people remind me of the Children of Israel, when facing trouble they always wanted a man , a leader, a super hero to go before them, and not just trust and rely on God.

1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD.

1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said to Samuel, "Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.

1Sa 8:9 Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them."

1Sa 8:10 So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking for a king from him.

1Sa 8:11 He said, "These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots.


This is what our black leaders and some of our leading black churches have done, they have leveraged our sons for their own benefit. They run people, if you have ever heard preachers talk in private they ask each other "how many you running", meaning how many people you got, how many are you leveraging and monetizing. The Black service organizations do it too, they monetize the people and their dysfunction and package it for promotion and distribution no different than Black exploitation films to be seen nationwide to reinfore the self debilitating behavior.

Yet soon one day you will wake up and realize "You've been hoodwinked. You've been had. You've been took. You've been led astray, led amok. You’ve been bamboozled"


1Sa 8:18 And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."


****the ambulance has arrived with the flashing lights , news cameras, ebony magazine, a band and back up singers - its the "black super heroes"****


The NAACP, Nat’l Urban League, Rainbow Push, National Action Network, the intellects, the boule', the Democrats etc etc they all empower the "boogie man" for a FEE. Business is booming because these organizations get money from the government and corporate donations and endowments in many forms to help keep Negroes (dead folk) enslaved in the Matrix. Listening to these "drum majors" for "just" - "us" them, are in it (the "struggle") for themselves and what they get out of it. I been listening and looking over the landscape for the last 50 years, as we been marching around these same mountains and very little about the scenery has changed. Instead of bell bottoms the pants sag, the bushes in this desert place have gotten bigger and the vultures have gotten more passive aggressive. Some of you will begin to notice that you have been here before. Yet outside of the rules of the Matrix in Zion, in Christ we are not to "march" anymore but just simply ask mountains to move.

Mar 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

But we doubt God, we FEAR man (the racial boogie man) and thus we still "marching" around mountains, getting dirty and dusty.

These leading blacks/organizations keep saying the "walls have not come down", I submit to you that the TOUR GUIDES (self appointed leaders of black folk in America), these organizations and persons continue to lead the willing negroes into the wilderness, where there is constant famine, sand storms and no water. These organizations continue to add fuel to the fire they continue to stir the pot. Tavis is always blaming white people but he seems to have white sponsorship for everything he does (Wal-mart , McDonald's etc). We have black intellectuals like Dr. Cornel West that "love the people" so much that he does not teach at a historically black school. Most of these individuals and organizations are living comfortable and well off and we still allow them to "speak for us" for profit. These organizations/individuals make money keeping Negroes focused and distracted onthe walls and barriers. Volumes of books have been published on racism in America. They would have you cry about the walls of Jericho that are "preventing", yet we in Christ should see an open door:

Rev 3:8 "'I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

If you study our history u will see many African Americans who were not mentally enslaved who still prospered, those who feared God and prospered even before the emancipation. Finally we thought having Moses in the White House was going to mean "The Big Payback”, alas that was a dream, and dreams are for those who are asleep. We got to stop denying the NAME and get back under the headship of Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven.

As Tina Turner sang in Mad Max Beyond the Thunder Dome "We don't need another hero"

At some point Black Folks have got to realize:

Jos 1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, [even] to the children of Israel.

When will the descendants of the Tribe of Judah follow the command?

(This note was inspired by the MalaniKai Show , it is the TRUTH!!! if you like the Matrix dont tune in, it might blow your Kool-Aid high. The Show was called "massa help us".)

"Jesus Can't Save You" - is that Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind?

This video is not just about the Obvious,
"Does Jay-Z deny Jesus" or Does Jay-Z believe in God? Nope but

Now as you watch the video answer these questions:
  1. What is more important, the beliefs of the messenger or the message that is being sent?
  2. Are subliminal messages more important than overt messages?
  3. If Jesus can plant "seeds" can the devil?
  4. Who is behind the message of the messenger?
