Kunta Kinte Windsor.




I take it you were hoping for a female.

Yesterday I predicted it was going to be a boy, I just think they need an unboring name. The English are so bland sometimes. He needs an out of the ordinary name, like Tyrone or Ray-Ray Windsor. Somebody needs to shake & loosen them up a bit. They're too uptight.

Uh I'm not being fashionable. It's actually how I feel, funnily enough. What would be fashionable is to be cheering them on since they're all over the bloody tv/radio/media. I just genuinely don't give a fuck or believe in their relevancy to the country I inhabit.



I know right. I didnt buy any magazine today because of them, they are on every cover. Again, we dont care! I dont get what's so newsworthy about these celebs' kids. It's nice they had a healthy baby & stuff, but some of us dont want to bored with the details about how much he weighed, how many times he breastfeeds...and...and.

The monarchy is just entertainment and celebrity these days. Do they actually still have political relevance these days? If I want to see a king, I wanna see him on a horse, wielding a broadsword.




Contrary to what you all may think in the negative, there IS a certain quality about the Royals.

I knew a man from Norwich, he has recently passed. I asked him about his thoughts of the spectacle
and whether they should enjoy what privileges they do.
He thought for a minute and said that without the Royals England would be lost.
Indeed, so much history and the world today have been impacted by the Royal family.
Perhaps the Royals are mere representatives of the peoples of England and what's left of it's
once mighty empire. In America, there is no such history. It's been flushed down the crapper of moral and political stupidity, sad to say. But when I look at England, France, Scotland, Holland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland...., the old country, I marvel at their antiquity and the beauty found
in their ruins and treasure in their history.
Of course, I recognize that I AM looking through colored glasses.
When I look to Washington.... ummm well, nevermind.

EXACTLY lolol! I'm glad it's a healthy baby, 'nuff said. Aside from that babies really are not that bloody exciting!

You need at least one, come on now 🙂 TBH, I'm not a kid person myself. I dont pretend they're cute when they're not, but if it's really cute I'll hold it. My cousin once sent me a pic of her month old baby with a text saying "isn't he cute?" & he is not! I was so tempted to say NO, but I ignored the text & pretended I never got it. I feel bad when I dont get real with people, so it's better to be quiet.

Well, I WILL say this...
My Grandfather REALLY was one of the last of the "Royal Bloodline" Chiefs of my tribe.
However, such titles are no longer recognized by the US. - I am NOT making that up or
BS'ing anyone. That's the truth. I carry the mantle now. But because of US politics and treaties
and broken promises. It's just in spirit with more homage to my Grandfather, than anything to
do with the tribe.
I think that is why I am interested and compelled to honor the birth of the Royal Baby, in my own way.
Like it were a "spiritual" thing. A connection, in some way.
My Grandson will inherit the name and mantle of Chief.

Are you eligible for grants in the Native American community? I hear they sponsor their lineage as long as they have more than 1/8th NA blood within them.

Yes. and they do. But I haven't heard of the blood quantity being a factor. Will have to look into it for my daughter. - One thing I strongly disagree with is the fractionalizing of blood - it's like saying one day my grand-children cannot exist. I find it insulting as what that is really about is more decimation of the tribes of the 1st Nation.

I have the deed to the land allotted to my Grandfather, signed by President Theodore Roosevelt.
I can legally own the feathers of the Bald Eagle and the Golden Eagle.

I have wondered whether my Native ancestors had, at some point, migrated through the land of Mongolia and China.

Another strange spiritual is whether at some point my European roots may have been tied to Israel.
It's quite a thing to think about because now and then I will gravitate to these regions afar.

That's pretty much what happened to my godmother's family, Firebird. Three daughters but they are all on the 1/16th scale and missed the cut. I heard it from my godmother but haven't looked into it myself to know what I'm talking about.



Then you understand. I want to tell my tribe that they risk the chance of extinction by ignoring their
mixed race brothers and sisters. 100+ years ago, they had taken the children, my Grandfather, included, and taught them the way of the white man and basically brainwashed them from their former ways. My Grandfather did not want his children learning the language, the ways and customs of the nations.
It was his opinion that we live in the white man's world, we must live the white man's way.
The "white" man is basically the US Government and, of course the way the white man conducts himself
in accordance to law and culture. This was the "assimilating" that was expected of those who had been
sent to the boarding schools. In hindsight, it was a wise thing to do but not without sacrifice.
For me, I feel the war between the white man and the red man. - It is ingrained in my spirit as if my
spirit is torn asunder. - Hard to explain. It's like I understand both sides of war and race, whereas a full blood from either side could not.

Tied to Israel? Now that is interesting. I consider Palestine/Israel to be pretty much the centre of the world spiritually. There are many books about how the conflict today gives birth to a lot of how we process thoughts through music and media.

Having ties to that region would be great. I love history and studying it. Tracing it back.



A lot of deep spiritual contemplation. The land is indeed, Holy and sacred ground. And contrary to what many may say, the Jews are a holy people. I "THINK" one of the reasons that draw me to the Jews is
that they had endured much hardship, even genocide, much in the way the Native Americans have.
It is strange, but true from my perspective.

Yeah I understand some of that, even from where I am coming from. I have no NA blood in me. I am mixed race though. And a larger percentage of my family is from black origin. And even larger part of that in my father's generation. It's like living under the wire in some respects because we were both very albino-looking comparatively. So we'll have people make comments about race right in front of us but not actually realize the significance (to us) of what they're saying or their views.

It can be eye-opening at times and other times just too confusing to think about it.

As far as the NA angle goes, not to trivialize it by talking about a TV series but honestly there was an excellent episode from Quantum Leap - really old series by now from the 80s/90s on this very issue. It made me think a lot. That show was excellently written.

^^^ For the most part, Hollywood had done a lot of mischaracterisation of the Nations. In so doing, the people are expected to act a certain way when the tourist comes to visit. For the black man, it would be like he is expected to act like a slave. They don't do this in the historical sense BUT psychologically, I am afraid, the black man is also expected to act a certain way. I THINK that it may be because many of the Liberal white man's propaganda and politics are believed. I thought the other day... What if I could help the black man see what it truly is that keeps him down, based on what I see that keeps the red man down. I think it is the same thing. Liberalism - that philosophy that says you can do whatever you want and not be held accountable and we will fight for you when you get in trouble. - The reality is, that's just not so. - A lot of double-speak and forked tongue talk, dual meaning.
But it's by the same people. Now, the white man, finds himself in trouble just like the red, black and brown people. Only in a different way. So many problems... So many problems... 😢

Exactly. Irrespective of race, democracy is a nice idea on paper. In practice there's a lot that needs to go back to the drawing board or just give way to hierarchy that actually works.

Agreed.

IF a review were ever brought to debate in the Senate, Congress and/or WH,
One question in the review (if it ever happened) is concerning laws on how to report a crime.

1) you cannot report a suspect's skin color (this insults the races)
2) you cannot report the type and color of clothing the suspect is wearing (this insults free speech and anyone who's clinically color-blind, a physical disability.)
3) you cannot report a suspect's height (whether he be tall or short, he cannot help his stature)
4) you cannot report a suspect based on behavioral observation (this insults the persons mental disability)
5) you cannot report a suspect's gender (this violates laws against sex discrimination)
6) you cannot report a suspect if the presumption is based on the assumption of previous criminal activity (this is criminal profiling)
7) you cannot identify the suspect as a "person" (this violates laws protecting animals from animal abuse)

The only thing you can legally do is say (Report a suspicious entity - proper procedure would be "I'd like to report a suspicious entity" - nothing further is necessary)

What this means is, that if you couldn't even report the "Invisible Man" because it would automatically
violate a) physical disability b) gender.

Truth be told, I can actually see a day coming when society has been conditioned to think those things.
One may ask, "how will anyone be protected against crime if you cannot report it?" Well, crime cannot
be prevented just because you called the police. -
The truth is, Laws are in place for AFTER-THE-FACT application. NOT for BEFORE-THE-FACT preventive measures application.
IF man does not want to be ruled by laws, then naturally, it is because he wants to be ruled by lawlessness.

Lord Louis Mountbatten, of course, makes sense.
