Dee Dee, I don't have various social media accounts, and I didn't see a way to email you at your main website, but I wanted to express my condolences on your recent loss. I was deeply saddened by the news of your husband's passing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with
you and your family during this difficult time. Khadija Nassif To The Reading Audience: Please stop by Mrs. Dee Dee Lefrak's BW With Other Brothers Facebook page and send her some love and light. THANK YOU in advance.
Breukelen Bleu has published a Facebook post that could literally mean the difference between life and death for you and any African-American Black woman and girl you care about. I strongly urge you to read it NOW, while she still has it publicly visible.
I'm republishing part of it because what she's saying is vital. And it's exactly the sort of thing that elicits frenzied and sustained attacks from African-American BW (AABW) who are still either fully or partially indoctrinated in Sista Soldiering and Mammy Muling. I'm discussing Ms. Bleu's post to add my voice and my support to her message in that post.
Karmic Overdraft Fees WILL Be Applied
In part, Breukelen Bleu said:
I want to point out the reason why in my past posts, I have warned BW about standing in the position of 'liberator' and placing the bullseye on themselves with those "Iam(fill in the blank with name of victim) hashtag campaigns, allowing themselves to become The Face of The Struggle and The Face of The Resulting Pain. What we think is showing our solidarity with the person who was mistreated, is really marking ourselves as the next TARGET for the same thing to happen to us. By donning hoodies and skittles, putting our children in 'Dont Shoot' imagery, manning the front lines taking on armed, militarized MEN, engaging in small and large acts of defiance, and offering both actual and symbolic tokens of good will to 'the struggle', what we believe is helping those we feel need 'justice' is having a side affect that has very DANGEROUS and DEADLY consequences. You do NOT put yourself in the image of The Sacrifice - EVER. Its like ASKING the Universe to tag dat ass for future problems. (Its also the reason why wearing the sign of The Sacrifice - the Christian Cross is a NO-NO - but thats a discussion for another day, also.)
.
It has not been lost on some, that there have been many incidences of BW who have been harmed, killed or compromised - women who have been OUTWARDLY defiant of the system and who have OPENLY voiced opposition to the 'inequities' that black men....I mean, black 'people' experience.
.
To being stricken with a life threatening illness (with little community support until SOMEBODY decided to share her story...cough, cough (I was one of them)....)
.....BW are experiencing many repercussions from our participation in the 'struggle'. Now, one might say that all of these examples are simply 'coincidences' - that they are simply the 'follies' of life that could have happened even if they were NOT involved in the fight for black men - I mean, black "people'.
But those of us who know better scoff as such deflections. This is NOT 'coincidental'. Its is the consequences of spiritual Law. . . [ ]
.
Altho I wasnt quite sure what was exactly was going on, my 'spidey sense' started tingling about the number of black women who have either been 'anti violence' activist, 'anti police brutality' activists, 'save the negros' activists, politicians, etc, who have ended up harmed, maimed or DEAD while actively engaging in those activities;
Many more than I am seeing reported as similar incidents about black men.
There is something about all of it that read very...something...to me. I noticed that those BW who very OUTWARDLY come against this system end up taken out - but any number of means. Some are killed by other blacks. Some by police. Some fall ill. But they be end up GOT in the end.
This latest case really sealed it for me. The irony of THIS woman, who was so OPENLY defiant against police brutality to end up dead HERSELF...in a state far from home... by cops who couldnt POSSIBLY have known who she was... is simply too much to ignore.
And when I mentioned it amongst Wise Women, the answer was provided in one simple statement.
.
"If you stand in the sacrifice seat for someone that wont do it for you....this is what you get."
.
In essence, The Law of One Sided Loyalty.
.
When you operate from a desire to help those who WON'T and HAVENT helped you, you are placing yourself in the DEFICIT. And just like any bank account, when overdrawn, OVERDRAFT FEES APPLY.
.
These unfortunate occurrences that are happening to BW are OVERDRAFT FEES. Its what happens when you over extend yourself in the name of those who wouldnt and dont RECIPROCATE. Its what it looks like to have your One Sided Loyalty Karma come back and kick yo ass. You would think said "karma' would come for those who benefit from that onesidedness wouldnt you? But thats not quite how it works. The "karma' comes for those who allow themselves to be in the DEFICIT - not those who take advantage of the arrangement. So in essence, those who allow themselves, their image, their energy, their money, their love and their lives to be PIMPED, are the ones who get GOT. THEY agree to the terms by not demanding any payment for their devotion. And so the fees come out of THEIR side of the deal.
Not the ones who are getting over.
Think about the Pimp/Prostitute dynamic. Who is it that usually gets in trouble? The Pimp? The John?
Or the Prostitute?
.
Moral considerations dont apply here. It has nothing to do with 'victim blaming' or attempting to 'silence the voices of BW'. Its about ENERGY and how it works; WITHOUT moral compunctions and without choosing sides based on percieved right or wrong. When you place yourself, your image and your bloodline in The Sacrifice Seat, particularly for those who will NOT RETURN THE FAVOR, you are calling down upon yourself a DEBT - a debt that is oftimes, paid in blood;
Your blood or that of your children.
.
We must understand that the Universe doesnt take sides. It simply balances the ledger. Think about how NUTS BW look, ALLLL riled up and frothing at the mouth over 'racism' and 'whitey', when we barely stop to blink at all the terrors that take place in blackistan!
There's a certain amount of synchronicity in the discussion Ms. Bleu is hosting about this. Friends and I (including one friend who is a sho'nuff "church lady" who attends a "sanctified, holy roller"-type church) have been discussing the exact same topic ever since the Charleston Church Massacre. I suspect that other AABW have been discussing the karmic angles to this. Much like Breukelen Bleu, my "spidey sense" has also been tingling for a while about all these events. I'm sure that other AABW have been having similar reactions as these events accumulate.
When You Engage In Inappropriate, Preemptive, Unrequested, Blanket Forgiveness, You've Agreed To Pay The Wrongdoer's Earthly Karmic Energy Bill
I'm not any sort of expert in spiritual matters. I'm a layperson when it comes to such matters. But I have started to notice the patterns involved in such matters. The same way I don't have to be a physicist or have a deep understanding of gravity in order to know that it's unwise to step off the top of a building.
Not every AABW church lady is a gullible fool. [Even though far too many of them have worked their fingers to the bone to create that public image for themselves as a group.] Similar to how I felt, my church lady friend was absolutely outraged by the spectacle of the Charleston Church Massacre victims' [AA slave] relatives announcing that they forgive the killer. Her first reaction was, "Did he ASK for forgiveness??!!??"
I've been watching AABW give out these types of blanket, unsolicited Forgiveness Free Passes to certain categories of wrongdoers. I've also been watching these AABW pay the price for doing that. The Charleston Church Massacre killer will get what's coming to him in the afterlife. However, the afterlife doesn't address the extreme amount of negative energy he created here on Earth by snuffing out that many lives without just cause.
My Christian friend and I have been talking about how the type and amount of negative energy created by such an act doesn't just dissipate. It's got to go somewhere. By all standards of justice, that negative energy created by those murders is supposed to boomerang "Return To Sender"-style back on the killer.
But, by giving an Unrequested Inappropriate Preemptive Forgiveness Free Pass to the killer—who murdered their own flesh and blood—these slaves have interposed themselves between the killer and the negative karmic energy boomerang that was en route to hit him upside his head. In short, these slave relatives have offered to pick up the Earthly karmic energy "tab" for this killer. As it always does, time will tell how their choice to do that works out for those massacre victims' relatives.
Even Some Of The Slave Church Preacher-Hustlers Can Feel The Energy Shifting
Even a stopped clock is factually correct twice a day. I ran across this clip at a blog that was complaining about this individual (who appears to preside over a church full of women—like most of the preachers in the AA slave church). Whatever else might be wrong with this individual, he slipped up and told a large chunk of truth at the 3:47 point in the video when he said:
"Listen to me, preacher. You can't hide behind your pulpit no more.Because they're coming in to shoot you. You can't hide behind the cloth. They don't care nothing about that no more."
Of course, he's a fool (like so many other AA religious misleaders). For more about this fool and others of his ilk, see THIS thread at Lipstick Alley. Once they see they're in mortal danger, people who value themselves have armed security at their houses of worship. Oh, like White Christians and Jews. But not AA slaves. And this gets back to Breukelen Bleu's point in another part of her post about the karmic price tag that AABW pay for ignoring, excusing and sweeping under the rug the ever-increasing number of BM-committed atrocities. While these same AABW hypocritically shriek and howl about the trespasses that WM commit against BM.
To paraphrase the preacher-hustler above, "they haven't cared nothing about" shooting in [what purports to be] a house of God since at least five years ago. I have a long memory for things that trouble my spirit. And my "spidey sense" has been tingling on and off about the physical danger involved in attending the AA slave church since some Blackistani gang members shot two Black teenagers during a service at a slave churchin 2010.
It wasn't just the shooting itself inside a church that troubled my spirit, it was the utterly inappropriate response by the AA Black church members. I commented on that during a blog discussion around the time of that shooting:
The story itself isn’t all that important. As I and other BWE bloggers have warned, Rwanda-type conditions are emerging right now in many Black residential areas. The number and pace of these sorts of news stories coming out of Black residential areas will only increase.
What IS significant is the attitude expressed by the quotes attributed to the BM deacon and another BM church member. Here’s the quote:
“I’m sure there’s some fear and shock, but we’re not running,” said Ezekiel Wallace, the church deacon. “We are going to be doing what we always do: Pray and have church.”
“We’re not scared, but we’re sort of mystified because this is God’s church,” said Earl Young, a church member since 1967. “We refuse to let the devil make us run and hide because that’s probably what they want us to do.”
Note that there’s NO mention of a special men’s meeting to discuss new security measures in the aftermath of this shooting. By their statements, they’re putting everyone on notice that the BW and girls in their church are . . . on their own . . . in terms of their physical safety. Is this the attitude of normal M-E-N? No, it’s not. Normal men function as protectors and providers for the women and children who are in their orbit.
If he can’t physically protect the women and children in his orbit himself (due to age or so on), a normal man will make arrangements for other men to provide physical security. A normal man would not take the blase attitude of “Oh well, let’s pray and do nothing else . . .”
I’m highlighting this because this BM deacon is probably somebody that most AAs would (mistakenly) assume is a “good” man. But he’s NOT a “good” man and he’s NOT a quality man—because he’s not protective of the women and children in his circle of responsibility. This deacon is of NO value to the women and children of that church. And I suspect that he’s of NO value to any of the women and children around him anywhere else.
The mark of a real man is that he REGULATES what goes on in the environment around “his” women and children. He polices other men. Other men can’t just do anything, and do it any kind of way, around “his” women and children. They can’t curse freely around “his” women and children. They can’t sexually harass “his” women and children. A real man certainly WON’T leave the door wide open for other males to FREELY engage in gunplay and shootouts in any setting that “his” women and children frequent—such as the church they attend.
This particular individual isn’t only a member of that church, he’s a deacon. If he was a real man, then he would take on some of the responsibility for protecting the women and children in that church. Either himself, or by making other arrangements such as hiring a security guard.
This episode is a perfect example of why I’m saying that the odds of having a healthy and wholesome marriage with an AA man are NOT promising. And not worth a marriage-minded woman investing her time in dating most of them. The bulk of AA males either don’t know how to, or don’t want to, function as protectors and providers for their OWN children.. The proof of this is seen every single day in Black residential communities around the US. [ ]
[ ]. . . {more head shaking about that “church”—it sounds more like one of Satan’s playgrounds where he’s free to do whatever he wants—without opposition}
I’ll repeat: In a patriarchal world, the condition of women and children are a reflection of the “men” in their lives. Men set the tone for what goes on with, and around, the women and children in their orbit. Men police the actions of other males. Normal men function as PROTECTORS and PROVIDERS for the women and children in their orbit.
When women and children are UN-safe and UN-avenged when attacked, it’s an indication that they’re surrounded by inferior, no-quality men.
[A small percentage of predators will always get through initially—among real men, this percentage is kept to a minimum because real men seek retribution of some sort for the wrongs that are done against the women and children in their orbit.]
As a collective, those AA Christians who were aware of it let that church shooting slide (as far as I could tell). I didn't hear of any emergency town hall meetings called by nationally known AA clergy such as Reverend Baby Daddy or Reverend Hot Comb. I don't recall any TV specials featuring AA Black Talking Heads discussing security in the AA slave church. From what I could see, there was never a break taken from Business As Usual.
As so on both a practical AND an energy level, the message was sent out into the Universe that many [if not most] AA Christians are essentially okay with folks shooting them inside their churches during church services. That message was recently repeated and amplified by the Charleston Church Massacre victims' relatives who gave an Unrequested, Inappropriate, Preemptive Forgiveness Free Pass to the killer. That message has a price tag attached to it. A price tag printed in blood.
The Tempo Of Incidents Is Speeding Up
Another thing I notice is that the tempo of these Karmic Overdraft Fees WILL Apply incidents is speeding up. There are more and more incidents, and the time period between incidents is getting shorter and shorter.
If you want to live, you'll get FAR away from the Sacrifice Seat, and FAR away from anybody who is doing anything at all to offer themselves up as The Sacrifice.

It’s an image that some have said crystallizes the despair felt across Greece, a country in the grips of a spiraling financial crisis.
Giorgos Chatzifotiadis, an elderly man in Thessaloniki, sat down in front of a crowd and cried last Friday after he waited for hours in front of numerous banks to withdraw cash but was unable to do so. Chatzifotiadis was among many pensioners who aimed to take out money on the fifth day of the bank closures, after hundreds of branches had reopened for those without bank cards to withdraw 120 euros.
AFP photographer Sakis Mitrolidis recalled the scene in a blog post on Tuesday, writing that he and reporters from a TV channel approached the man and began to chat. After the 77-year-old explained his story, the journalists accompanied him to talk to a bank employee. “Fortunately,” he said, “they were able to help him.”
"I see my fellow citizens begging for a few cents to buy bread,” Chatzifotiadis told the photographer at the time. “I see more and more suicides. I am a sensitive person. I cannot stand to see my country in this distress. That's why I feel so beaten, more than for my own personal problems.”
It wasn’t until later that Mitrolidis understood what he had captured. “Back in my office, when I saw the pictures on the monitor, I understood this was a powerful series,” he writes. “The composition, the papers scattered beside him, the policeman coming to help, the people watching as they queued, and the old man himself.”
