do u still want me to respond @ length? i think looking @ what we call white consciousness would be key.

about "death": whites "believe" in heaven and hell but that's it. u live, u die, go to your respective places. u don't take part in the events on earth after u make the transition. u do not guide those here, u are separate and apart from those unborn, those who went b4. and u don't come back. if this were a part of my consciousnes i would be scared to die too, this is it, i only have "one life to live"!

u asked if i'm referring specifically to Kemet b/c u c i'm "into" that. it's into me. i was referring specifically to Africa. all over Africa (u can talk about nations *not tribes* and there will be differences, but there _is_ an African consciousness) this idea persists. Africans in America pour libation (look @ R. Kelly in that video remembering those who had passed) just as our family does thousands of miles away, even tho' we (supposedly) don't know anything about them.
