1. "Almost everything we know about Ancient Egypt comes from their belief in L.I.F.E. AFTER DEATH. It may surprise you, you know, you've all seen temples, you've all seen the tombs, we don't have cities, the ancient Egyptian cities weren't meant to last forever. They really believed that you were going to go on forever, so why not put your money in your tombs and your temples which are for eternity, so their houses had to last for only one generation. So we don't have ancient Egyptian cities, just temples, tombs, and artifacts from those tombs. Now the only reason we have coffins, is because they wanted to protect the body fro eternity, now the notion that they had was R.E.S.U.R.R.E.C.T.I.O.N.; the Egyptians believed NOT IN REINCARNATION as some 'New Agers' say, but in R.E.S.U.R.R.E.C.T.I.O.N.. They believed that the body was literally going to get up and go again in the next world, and that's why you had to preserve it."

Black people use God, Yaweh not to build, but to destroy themselves and other Black people. Dont let anyone put God, the blood of jesus over anything in ur life u will come to ruins unless u are demonic.

Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
Feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand.

Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
Might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near

And you can see that you're leading me on
And it's just, and it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.


And you can see that you're leading me on
And it's just, and it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love
I get too misty, and too much in love

⁣Reduplication is one of the most sophisticated linguistic tools in human language and Jamaicans have been doing it for centuries.
Linguists at Cambridge, UC Berkeley, and Oxford have studied this phenomenon across hundreds of languages. What they found? Repeating a word to intensify, extend, or deepen its meaning is a grammatically structured, cognitively grounded system — and it is especially alive and well in West and Central African languages like Akan, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and Gbe.
When enslaved Africans were brought to Jamaica in the 17th century, they came from dozens of different language groups — but reduplication was a thread common across all of them. It survived the Middle Passage. It survived colonialism. It survived centuries of being told our language was "broken."
It didn't survive by accident. It survived because it works.
Saying something twice feels like doing it twice. Feeling it twice. Meaning it more. Linguists call this iconicity — when the form of a word mirrors its meaning. It's one of the most natural things a human being can do with language, documented even in how babies first learn to speak.
So the next time someone tells you Patois isn't a real language — tell them wi no chat so by accident.
Wi carry Africa ina wi mout!
