I'M A ISREALITE, DONT CALL ME BLACK NO MO vol. A DAMN. discussion

YAH:
"I'm not a politician, I'm not 'bout a religion
I'm a Israelite, don't call me Black no mo'
That word is only a color, it ain't facts no mo'
My cousin called, my cousin Carl Duckworth
Said know my worth
And Deuteronomy say that we all been cursed
I know he walks the Earth
But it's money to get, ******* to hit, yah
Zeroes to flip, temptation is, yah
First on my list, I can't resist, yah"

FEAR:
Intro- "What's up, family? Yeah, it’s yo cousin Carl, man, just givin' you a call, man. I know you been havin' a lot on yo mind lately, and I know you feel like, you know, people ain't been prayin' for you. But you have to understand this, man, that we are a cursed people. Deuteronomy 28:28 says, "The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart." See, family, that's why you feel like you feel like you got a chip on your shoulder. Until you finally get the memo, you will always feel that way…"

Outro- "Verse two says, "You only have I known of all the families of the Earth, therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." So until we come back to these commandments, until you come back to these commandments, we're gonna feel this way, we're gonna be under this curse. Because He said He's gonna punish us, the so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians, are the true children of Israel. We are the Israelites, according to the Bible. The children of Israel, He's gonna punish us for our iniquities, for our disobedience, because we chose to follow other gods that aren't His son, so the Lord, thy God, chasten thee. So, just like you chasten your own son, He's gonna chastise you because He loves you. So that's why we get chastised, that's why we're in the position we're in. Until we come back to these laws, statutes, and commandments, and do what the Lord said, these curses are gonna be upon us. We're gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live here in today, in the United States of America. I love you, son, and I pray for you. God bless you, shalom." -FEAR

The intense mainstream appeal of his album is to mask the heavy concept of the true Isrealites being the "minoirities" of America ( and abroad) and the reason for their oppression is the curse of falling away from Gods/Yahwehs truths/commandments. This realization is one of the, if not the reason this album is called, DAMN.

This is biblical, but modern day christianity sees this as something that happened, not something that has happening and they dont consider old testament doctrine as relevant except for what they decide cooperates with new testament teachings. This is a radical shift in Kendricks understanding of the bible and how that relates to the black struggle. An understanding that leads him ( and should lead us) to look at the man in the mirror.

Glad to see you made the post. 

As I've gotten older I've realized not to throw the baby out with the bath water. In my initial introduction to spirituality I steered clear of the bible because of the trauma I saw associated with it. Having the opportunity to grow I've seen some things in the bible that resonate with me. One thing I see undoubtedly is the application of African Life sciences. Another thing i see is the curse of mistranslation. Based on my research, the bible is an amalgamation of ancient Akadian and Sumerian texts that pay homage and give insight into the manipulation of the celestial bodies. Due to to mistranslation and the gaps in psychology between the differing cultures of those who initially wrote it, and those who practice it today, I can see easily how a lot of things are taken out of context. All that to say, what is your perceived benefit of him proclaiming himself as an Israelite if the possibility exists that people who invented the concept had something different in mind then whats portrayed today?

Repped.

Not trying to step on anyone's toes but I can't fathom how anyone can subscribe to belief that an omnipotent god allows the oppression of POC bc he loves & is down for us. If that's the case seems to me that god is a bit of a jerk & doesn't favor us at all.

Pretty much where I'm at with it. All 3 major religions say the black man is cursed. The further I looked into it, it seems it was an intentional manipulation to advance a certain agenda. If I recall correctly it has to do with divination. Either that of a reading of sacrificed animals innards, or tracking a certain star in the sky. Either way, the presence of black or the absence of a star in the sky foretold of events to come. It had nothing to do with a people being cursed.

I always thought it was interesting that people would follow a doctrine that was written in a language they couldn't understand and accept being at the mercy of an unknown translator. Furthermore, when you look at the collective history of the purported translators they don't have people of colors best interest at heart.

What color is Israelite?

He is stating that the laws spoken by God to His people,Israel, are still in effect. To align yourself with Israel/ Hebraic roots is to draw a line in the sand of what you stand for and what will and will not do. Kendrick is reading the bible and finding his identity. He is identifying with Gods chosen people and falling inline with the standards set for them. From what I have studied, the scriptures original languages are Hebrew and Aramaic for the Tanakh/Old Test and Greek for NTest. So regarding the Old Test, it must be studied in hebrew for the best understanding of its context, and hebrew comes with a completely different mind set. He seems to be beginning this new journey becuase he is mixing the holy with the profane. From what you expressed, you see a disconnect between the writes of the scriptures and its modern day readers. WHat I see is people his cousinCarl and Kdot to a lesser extent, seeking the truer meaning for what the scriptures say and doing their best to apply it to their live today.

I can appreciate that perspective and I'm glad to see something in mainstream that generates a convo beyond the going price for a gram of molly.

I think the Hebrew perspective is interesting because history suggests that they were familiar with the hermetic principles. The two that come to mind are the laws of cause/effect and the law of rhythm. By asserting a chosen people, you automatically alienate any body who isn't in that collective. In making that proclamation you set forth a cycle where groups of people are claiming their inherent right to divinity. First the Akanashi Jews, and now the Melanated Israelites of the planet. Some group of people will always state their divinity in hopes of rising up if they're oppressed. All that said, how is heaven on earth ever possible if you have a group of people that are chosen and those who aren't?

In my opinion, that's the difference in psychology between an ancient Hebrew and a modern day Christian. An ancient Hebrew would use metaphors and mythology to develop the psychology for one to understand the unraveling of themselves. 7 seals of revelations = understanding the 7 major endocrine glands etc. Where as the modern Christian will hold on to exoteric concepts that often don't do much beyond stimulating faith in something they don't truly understand.

I think the ancient Hebrews, and really all spiritual systems from Africa put forth a template founded in universal principles that spoke to everyone being the "chosen people" so that one could find themselves in the narrative. The fact that you made it here out of billions of competing sperm speaks more so to a chosen aspect then a book does (my opinion of course)

I appreciate King Fu Kennys growth and respect any man's efforts to expand knowledge of self. With that said, Black liberation is a chess game. Any messianic energy that's came up under the banner of JuedoChristian ideology has ultimately failed. The consistent cycle of hoping and doping is what propagates the system forward. They say insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Striving for liberation under religions that say we're cursed hasn't worked this far, yet we still...

Also, if I recall correctly you're Christian Right?

I ask this out of curiosity, do you have any background in Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek, and if not how do you feel about accepting someone else's translation as the gospel?

"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" - Yeshua/Jesus Mat 15:24

Why I think its interesting Kendrick is coming to this knowledge is because its another sign of people reading beyond where there pastor has been showing them in the Word, and in most cases, actually reading the word. The House of Israel is directly referring to the Northern Kingdom (10 of the tribes that were sent into dispersion, losing their heritage, their identity in Yahweh, after coming out of Assyrian captivity). The Southern Kingdom ( Judah/ Benjamin) preserved their way after coming out of Babylonian captivity. But the Northern Kingdom never came back, and assimilated the ways of their residence after their release. Yeshua was sent for many purposed, including to bring the other tribes back into the fold. Modern day christianity attempt to thwart this effort in Yeshuas true identity and what Gods expects of those who love Him. But that doesnt stop the rest of the prophecy. The curse isnt the end of the story. What we could be witnessing with people coming to the true understanding of the scriptures and understanding their hebrew roots contiues the regathering process of the lost tribes which the scriptures speak of and what Yeshua was sent do. To direct people back to the arms of the Father...

“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, to which the Lord thy God hath driven thee,

“And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,

“That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations where the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.

“If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from there will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from there will he fetch thee.”

Deut. 30:1-4

I been studying Hebrew roots for the past 7 years and I have been learning the Hebrew language, reading writing the last 2 ( both paleo/ancient and modern).

I might say im chrisitian to some ( non belivers) to reflect my belief in Yeshua/Jesus, but it depends on whose asking. ( True followers of Yeshua/Jesus would be followers of the Torah/ Israelites because Yeshua was, but modern christianity spun itself into a new belief system that denies the lifestyle and practices of who Yeshua really was) I might say Torah Observant, Messianic or Hebrew Israelite also. All these labels comes with stigmas that I dont fully embrace but it comes closest to where Im at in my spiritual walk.

When I read the scriptures I look at the Hebraic translation and also look at the ancient hebrew construct of each letter in each word because they often provide a pictorial expression and deeper meaning of a word that is lost when just read as it is in its modern form.

Some say all 3 religions are watered down versions of what black people started. They've just stole it, flipped it and resold it.
