Lyric transcript (partial):
Thomas Edison made the light bulb, cool.
But Lewis Lattimer made that light improve!
If you ever feel you can’t shine in class,
Look up at the light, Black made that!
Cars use a spark plug to start
You need an X-Ray to see broken arms
How you think food travels across those states?
Fridges in trucks keep all that safe.
You use a sharpener when your pencil breaks.
You keep your valuables in a fire safe.
With a super soaker you can be a water gun shooter
1gig processer chip in my computer
Every time you X Box or PS4,
Know Jerry Lawson made the first console
When you go see a 3D movie
Say Hannah and Dunkley brought this to me
That’s spark plug, x ray. Mobile fridge
Pencil sharpener, processor 1 gig
Fire safe, super soaker, 3D glasses
3D movie, first console that’s it
Empire’s on Who’s watching it , Mamma
Ghost or Tommy either way its drama
When Liv’s lips quiver Fitz is a gonner
How I know all of this? Its cuz Shonda (2)
Black made that! All that! X3
Black Made That! All that! All That!
Washington DC is nice,
And the President’s House is white
Every time you look at that
Know those who build it were Black. Facts
Its black made. This, this, this black made
When you look in the mirror, smile ‘cus its true
You’re astonishing, and Black made you!
Black Made That. Geometry!
Black Made That. Astronomy!
Black Made That. Philosophy!
Black Made That. Hold up Wait.
Griot B, Philosophy? Greeks made that!
No Philosophy’s from Egypt, we made that!
Art, medicine, and even math
All started in Africa, we take that.
We invented many things but our patent was taken.s
Or bought for a fraction of what it would be making.
Our culture can be seen in most things in this nation.
Let me teach you about app-ropriation.
Seen on us it’s ugly, and on others it is praised
Like: “Corn Rolls are thuggish, but I love those Boxer Braids”
They’re the same thing just a different skin and different name
It’s taken straight from us, and the thief gets the fame.
Rock and roll music to most is great.
But Chuck Berry taught Elvis how to shake!
Use our dance moves and all our slang.
Just know we influenced in ALL THESE WAYS!
Black made that! All that! X3
Black Made That! All that! All That!
Where my Patent At? Black Made That! X3
Where my patent at! You know Black Made That!

This video offers a presentation of the concept of religion according to the understanding the Kôngo people had of this notion before their encounter with the Europeans.
Religion was understood as n'kisi nsi, the use of n'kisi as divine spirits to empower human beings in order to enable them to fight the evil effects of demonic spirits.
The kôngo concept of n'kisi means spirit and power. It alludes first to God, the Most High, and to holy ancestors as animating spirits and protecting power surrounding human beings. This implies that the concept of n'kisi is alike the Igbo concept of Chi and the Yoruba concept of Ase.
It is thus anomalous to reduce the meaning of n'kisi to the Western concept of fetish.
The ideas exposed in this video were taken in our book titled BUKÔNGO which can be found at

Will Iran join China, Russia and the United States as a fourth major power on the world stage? Iran's resilience in the face of the U.S.-Israeli war is already shifting the global balance of power, says American political scientist Robert Pape. "What you are seeing with Iran is that its geography, in combination with a level of drone technology that we simply cannot destroy," is demonstrating to other countries that they may not have to stay beholden to U.S. hegemony. "What makes us think we're really going to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power in the next six months or a year?" asks Pape. "Iran is far stronger than it was just 40 days ago. It is in control of 20% of the world's oil. It is now an emerging fourth center of power. … The United States is on one side, and the rivals are China, Russia and now Iran."

Today we honor Amos Wilson.🖤
The gears that keep us running. The voice that gives us inspiration, motivation, and charts the path to psychological liberation. We want everyone—young and old—to know Amos and his work.
Not long ago, we were chatting with a few Wilsonians—those of uswho have sat at the feet of his teachings, who have had our minds reorganized by his words. And someone asked the question:"How old were you when you learned about Amos?"
One by one, the answers came. Twenty-five. Thirty-two. Forty.Forty-seven. All of them... too late.
There was a little bit of regret in that room. Not because we found him eventually—but because we wished we had found him sooner. We wished someone had placed his books in our hands when our minds were still forming. We wished his voice had been in our ears beforethe world convinced us of lies about ourselves.
We all wished we had heard his teachings earlier.
And right there, in that moment, something was born. Afrika's Army: An Amos Wilson Awakening.
Because the youngest among us deserve to grow up with Amos. They deserve to learn about the psychology of power before they learn about powerlessness. They deserve to understand that their mind is their wealth, their consciousness is their weapon, and their cultureis their foundation.
Afrika's Army is for our children.
So that one day, when they are asked, "How old were you when you learned about Amos?" — they won't have to say too late.
They'll say, "I grew up with him."
Happy Birthday, Dr. Amos Wilson. Your work lives on in the youngest soldiers of Afrika's Army. ✊🏿📚
✊🏿Join the legacy. Teach the children.
