Black Americana

 "African-American" Memorabilia

Collecting, seeing, and discussing such memorabilia can be a "soft" spot for some in the Diaspora, but for many who understand the prophecies of the children of Israel may view it as small signs of validation.  In the Books of Nicodemus and the Gang (after reading many comments as well as pictures of open pages) I conclude that a lot of his adventures were typical everyday life events as an Israelite male child in america. Not fully aware of his true nationality, but very conscience of God, also knowing he was one of his children. Just take a look at this page featuring a song as well:  

Black americana memorabilia has an in-depth history of identiying the black characters with bibical names. Quite often, the character(s) have a great regard for family, moral values, respect, and high self-esteem. In the many comments I've read people stated they learned a lot of life values from the adventures Nicodemus. The dialect and depiction of black children in this era by Inez Hogan was what some would now consider offensive, but it doesn't take away from their undeniable beauty or visual impact.  Racism has been in the atomsphere throughout countless generations. Some may feel reluctant to owning anything they deem attached to it, while others find that ignoring the plight of our people to be insolent to our foreparents regardless of the pain it arouses.  Know this  rather painful or enlighting black americana memorabilia is not a reflection of the subjects character, but the creator there of. 

John 3:1

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:” 

The Truth About Easter

HOLIDAY HORRORs The Truth About Easter  What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it." Deuteronomy 12:32  Fact #1 Easter is a Sumerian legend of Tammuz and his Mother/Wife Ishtar, god and goddesses of fertility. Which in celebrating Easter is idolatry per the Bible. Read Ezekiel 8:12-14; Exodus 20:1-4 FACT #2 Easter is a moveable holiday (holyday). In turn supports its origin worship (celebration) to that of fertility, conception, renewal and vernal equinox/spring solstice. All the High Holydays(holidays) ordained by God are inflexible dates. Fact #3 Good Friday is also a pagan practice!  Friday per the Book of the Law(Bible) is known as Day of Preparation or the day before Sabbath (rest/7thday) modern day Saturday, Mark 15:42.  Jesus the Christ stated: “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” -Matthew 12:40. Friday to Sunday is not a total of three days and three nights. Fact#4 Symbolic figures of Easter are foolish! Rabbits do not lay eggs, Eggs are not colorful, and the cross represents an instrument used to crucify our Lord and Savior which the children of Israel were forbidden to worship wood and stone!  Read Mark 7:7-13, II Corinthians 6:17, 1 John 2:15, Revelation 18:4 For more information, contact www.Lawlife.isteaching.com

Dinah, Portrait of a Negress: ca 1866-69

Eastman Johnson (July 29, 1824 – April 5, 1906) was an American painter and co-founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City

Did you know??

In 19th century America, "Dinah" became a generic name for an enslaved African woman

Lizzie McCloud, a slave on a Tennessee plantation during the American Civil War, recalled that Union soldiers called all enslaved women "Dinah". Describing her fear when the Union army arrived, she said: "We was so scared we run under the house and the Yankees called 'Come out Dinah' (didn't call none of us anything but Dinah). They said 'Dinah, we're fightin' to free you and get you out from under bondage'." After the end of the war in 1865 The New York Times exhorted the newly liberated slaves to demonstrate that they had the moral values to use their freedom effectively, using the names "Sambo" and "Dinah" to represent male and female former slaves: "You are free Sambo, but you must work. Be virtuous too, oh Dinah!"

The name Dinah was subsequently used for dolls and other images of black women ~wikipedia

Genesis 34:1

“And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.”
