		<description>Nice try to semanticize a word that probably just means black, and turn it into god. Just doesn&#039;t add up that so  many people were calling blacks &quot;gods&quot;. I wonder if the AfroAmericans of the 60&#039;s would have grabbed that word today as the token or icon of solidarity? i mean we know know it was just from latin and Italian, covoluted over time and miles by our Americanized english.</description>

		<description>The fact of the matter is this, this earth is designed for people with hi levels of melanin it&#039;s not a black or a white thing it&#039;s all about survival, the more melanin you have the more in tune with the universe you are and you also will reap the intended benefits of the creator. The powers that be know the truth, they know that melanin is the key to divinity which is why anything associated with black is negative this is done to insure that the heavier melinated Peoples of the earth feel inferior and to insure the existance of the less melanated races. In truth we are all one and if we were all heavily melanated what would be the harm, instead of looking at it as the White race dieing look at it as a purification of the human race melanin = the truth. One love one People</description>

		<description>etymology and philology are implicit in this interesting essay, languages evolve and diffuse for various reasons, especially early cross cultural contacts spurring adoptions of foreign words into other languages, vice versa, we can see that from some of the essay and from the comments that are not merely hostile reactions.  In America we have the slang term in common usage a &quot;schosh&quot;, meaning a little bit more of something, which was taken from Japanese &quot;s&#039;koshi&quot; meaning the exact same thing, brought back by conquering soldiers to the west coast of America.  Unfortunately, with a &quot;new&quot; generation of internet slaves and anonymous blogging, you have &quot;threads&quot; like this contaminated by dis-info specialists and just plain cowards who never in their lives sat in a large group of people to discuss anythting of merit, face to face,  because they don&#039;t know how, indeed, does anyone under the age of 55 or so understand how things have changed in this regard?  Internet is OK but no substitute for physical life and confronting you brothers and sisters with this kind of information in the flesh.  Go to the park, get on a soap box and broadcast this stuff with written handouts (like the good old days), just watch out for the taser equipped thought police, growing ever stronger because so many are lost in cyber space.  We are being pushed into a virtual world away from the real thing, computer is a useful tool but don&#039;t forget the fresh air and talking to someone on the street - ON THE CORNER....not with a bandana over your face throwing rocks at cop cars for a cointelpro payday.</description>

		<description>Just finish writing our thoughts on the word Negro for our book &quot;Ankh Chi Tao&quot; a collection of 156 poems

N-G-R: NEGRO = 
COSMIC DIVINE BEINGS

Negro: Part of the root is N-g-r but first let us play, for some people this word Negro is classify as a bad word, a negative word, in fact in some areas of the world and in some era of time uttering this word Negro it would often lead to death due to antisocial patterns of installed programmed in both full-blacks and lesser-blacks. It has reach a stage where in some states nationally and internationally it’s a hate crime to utter the word Negro, some even refuse to say the phonic instead they address it as the “N” word. From these patterns we question the logic of this phonic Negro. In this quest one will find the standard reports. Such as Negro refer to a person of black ancestry or appearance, &quot;negro&quot; means &quot;black&quot; in Spanish and Portuguese, from the Latin niger (&quot;black&quot;) and Greek ?????? Négros (&quot;black&quot;) Sometimes it was colour but until the Civil Rights movement in America it was an accepted classification on all black people. Due to the associated thoughts and memories of “Slavery” Kidnappings the word Negro was closely linked to segregation, discrimination, induced religions, amputations, flogging, branding, hangings, chaining, burnings, dog bites, fire-hose water spraying, police brutality and death. 

After the Civil Rights movement many choose the term Blacks instead of Negro and later on when that also became obsolete socially the term African American was accepted. In the language of today most forms would have question on ethnicity with the returning of Black, Black African, Black American, Black British, Black Caribbean and so forth, until recently, 2010 Census Bureau in The United States of America, before most forms would not have the word Negro on it. The Bureau announced that the word Negro would return alongside &quot;Black&quot; and &quot;African-American,&quot; because some older Black Americans nevertheless self-identify with the term.” And Negro&quot; superseded &quot;colored&quot; as the most polite terminology, at a time when &quot;black&quot; was more offensive.” Many people are in state of shock while some are in a state of jubilation. Well in a scholarly mode we are happy, while some may shy away from the reflective tone on the word Negro, when they start to dig deeper they’ll discover the truth on that word and the reflection it will show is a deify state of blackness in which the being of most esteem grace was called Negro but the phonic was spelled N-G-R which was equated to status and epithet of Goddess or God in modern mentality. 

Through the works of Cheikh Anta Diop “Origin of the Ancient Egyptians” his sharing revealed the word Negro represented the chief beneficent of the gods &amp; goddess of ancient Egypt/Khemet as such their surnames, we learned was expressed like this in “hieroglyphics/ Metu Neter” =kmwr= means “The Great Negro for Osiris”, =km= the black + the name of the god, =kmt= the black + the name of the goddess and kmt= the black woman=Isis. In the shared sentiment on the topic: an article posted by Pianke Nubiyang so titled “the original meaning of the “N” word.” The tonal association on the word Negro is, it’s a most revered and sacred word, a revealing note many were not aware of, is the fact that in our ancient thought patterns concerning language of the Blackland there were no such thing as “a,e.i.o.u” what we call today as vowels, as such phonically the expressed frequency on the sigil Negro was also represented as N-G-R and pronounced en-jer, which is one of the phonic for  GOD in ancient Egypt/Gypt. In final conclusion, N-G-R: NEGRO = COSMIC DIVINE BEINGS.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m saddened. Over twenty years ago I met the renowned African American singer, James Ingram, and he basically said that many black people are reluctant to learn the true truth because they are used to lies that have been told for ages. I wonder how The Almighty can be happy with us when we can&#039;t even tune into his truth. Anything negative about ourselves we are more than ready to embrace, but when we get the chance to be enlightened, we dismiss proud information as Afrocentric fantasy. This is why we suffer now and will continue to suffer. We think we know more than God. Black people, open your eyes and pay attention to the mystic, spiritual clues all around us. They have never disappeared. White people aren&#039;t that smart or powerful to undo The Creator&#039;s works. It is we who cause our own strife by disobeying the true master!</description>

		<description>It was interesting the dietary laws of the time, because it proves the Rastafarian reasoning for a vegetarian lifestyle. 
1. To abstain from idolatry;
2. To abstain from adultery;
3. To abstain from strangled meats;
4. To abstain from blood (keep the Laws of Niddah); and
5. To go into the synagogues on the Sabbath and hear the rest of the Torah of Moshe being preached, with the intention of learning to obey it.</description>

		<description>“nigger” is Latin for “black”.  Al Wilson. This is not true. Negro is Spanish for blackman, and Negra, Spanish for black woman. There is another word in the Spanish language and that is moreno (a) Moreno is Spanish and Portuguese for a tanned or dark haired person.</description>
