There has been all this ridiculous made up controversary about Erykah Badu’s new video for “window seat”, off of her upcoming March 30th album release , NEW AMERYKAH (PART 2: RETURN OF THE ANKH. I really don’t understand all the controversy except to say it is just fueling the exact point she is trying to make in her video. A society that finds controversy in truth needs to take a window seat to look & reflect on the world in order to see that there is no freedom in group think. To me group think is the mindset of cowardly lie-ons who rely on lies & lie on others because they are afraid of the responsibilities of freedom. The type of freedom that frees one’s dome to be an individual who thinks for oneself & evolves! The group think of the slave threatened to derail Harriet Tubman’s underground railroad when slaves refused to take their freedom because they were conditioned by the type of group think that told them they were not deserving of freedom =individuals with choice! As Ms. Badu tweeted: Be yourself, think for yourself and embrace individuality. Break free of the mental, physical, and spiritual shackles.

I just went thru yet another debate on the never ending road to nowhere where so called naturalists feel that Black & African identity in respecting & embodying one’s African heritage is tied down to one’s choice of hair style in choosing to go natural as opposed to relaxers & weaves. The idiocy in the distraction of this constant debate is beyond me because I have never seen any real revolution, forward movement & building of a nation based on hair style. Who are you really when you are stripped of your accoutrements, whether they be natural or synthetic ? Why do we choose to get distracted by hair when what is underneath is what real, forward, lasting revolutions & evolutions are created from=FREE DOME=Brain! To me these so call naturalist also need to take a window seat in reflection in truly seeing the world because there is no evolving if under all that natural hair there is no substance. Naturalist are so quick to talk about African history, heritage & roots with little knowledge that wigs, weaves etc have been part of our African roots in style evolutions way before Angela Davis pumped her fist in the air. The art of hair styling has been part of African culture from ancient to modern day African cultural history. We are a people of many styles who are purveyors of the definition of style from hair to fashion, to dance, to music & everything in between. I hear so many people of color including naturalist say that the white women are stealing black culture since there is a plethora of them wearing weaves now & I must just shake my head in the hypocrisy of that statement when the same people say that people of African decent who relax their hair or wear weaves are trying to be white. This silly divisionist group think culture that disseminates misinformation & associates those people of color who choose a personal style of relaxers & weaves as somehow wanting to be White & delusional in their African heritage need to know that you can not define an African because a true African is free & defines him or herself!

“And as I pointed out… I made it quite clear that from now on – today – we must change our attitudes, our minds, we must realise that from now on, we are no more a colonial but a free and independent people. But also, as I pointed out, that also entails hard work. That new African is ready to fight his own battles and show that after all, the black man is capable of managing his own affairs. We are going to demonstrate to the world, to the other nations, that we are prepared to lay our own foundation. Our own African identity” Dr. Kwame Nkrumah -excerpt from Independence speech

Take A Window Seat to Free Dome & Evolve in Individuality!
