Shemsi en Tehuti:

Brother you have a zeal that I admire to be sure. You are very articulate and knowledgable especially about our heritage. I admire that and only wish that at your age I was all the more into that rather than the things I was.

I know that we grind against each other so often (iron sharpeneth iron) and I have no misconception that I am looked upon as a out of date old *&^%$$#(&^$@#@ black man. I have no problem with that as you can see. Friend I am closer to your train of thought than you think.

But in the study of strategy I also learn that you can not close your mind even to the corruption of the world and bury down in your reality. Life is not that simple. You do not go to way withthought first counting the cost.

Shemsi, we are not ready for war even of the mind as a people. I certainly have groups of conscious blacks that I know as do you, but the majority are only struggling for the baser things and wil not even give ear let alone time to work for the betterment of our race and the human race in particular.

Where we differ is in how we do this very needed thing of raising our people up. I do not think we need to call every thing unafrican corrupt. I do agree though that it is worth a look into the spiritual mind of Africa and see what prophesies were true and which may still loom ahead.

I would like to cool our adversarial relationship and begin one where we can dialogue. If my being a Christian is threatening to you then show me where and I will be glad to show you the misgivings of that concept. And if it is merely a fictional mindset that I have been drawn into humor me and show me the errors of my thinking more so that just telling me that I am a slave brainwashed by white people. If believing in Jesus is worst that believing in imhotep or writings on the pyramids etc. then show me.

Belief is a personal thing. You don't win me to your's by putting mine down. One thing that is not good that I see is that our intelligencia is missing the chance to begin the drawing in but being aloof. I have learned to be humble and have a much greater ability to reach people that many academes that I know of any race. I have but another 20 + years and I hope to begin to publish.

I know that I don't show a lot of promise as a writer to you guys, but I promise you that I can strut with the best and have works pending. My writing style is for effect more than affect or visa versa.

I am not pulling your leg about the admiration I have for you...as I said I really don't care if you like me or not. Peace...


If folk who do not have anything to say would refrain from saying it, this would be a better world...J.V.McGee
