⁣Story of the Ice People and Sun People told by Dr Umar Johnson

At one point the Black Relationship was the hardest to penetrate as both men & women suffered under the cruel hand of oppression and our love of family the vision of survival kept us working together under the hardest of tactics.

Feminism was the tactic employed which initially was not our cause as melanated men nor women had no rights under slavery or colonisation. Not to say the advancement of better equality and opportunity and addressing of domestic violence was not a good thing but it was coupled with conditions set to destroy the black family as its primary objective when issued to so called blacks. This tactic amongst others such as Government intervention of assistance if the man was no longer available through unemployment which leads to destruction of male pride as a protector, benefits due to woman and child only, alcohol and drugs flooding our community, the selling of drugs as an only source of income, and mass incarceration of the male as public enemy No.1 in the 60's & 70's, fostered by support of magazines and shows in the 80's with a promotion of we don't need no men, we can do fine by ourselves, and movie & music industry in the 90's supporting this with gangster rap degrading women and films such as Stella getting her groove, a thin line and more all as a divide and conquer tactic deployed in America initially under the guise of we are progressing yet controlled by the same individuals who had a hand in our demise. in the 2010's the emergence of men responding via what is referred as the manosphere to the point where we now have a full divide, separation and outright disrespect for one another fostered by the new weapon of choice, social media.

This event by the Thursday club intended to address these issues by discussing the term 'Black love' with 3 sets of couples to discuss the ups, downs and all the inbetweens to help empower others to see the importance and evidence that we can, will and must work together first through understanding with a focus on healing the damage, as we are currently continuing without the assistance of Hybrid Europeans to perpetuate destruction on our own future....
