Welcome
 You have just accessed the Akashic Records Genetic Information Division
 This program is required for those wishing to obtain
 A marriage blessing from the kingdom
 When you wish to begin this program, place your right hand
 On the scanner and tightly clench up your buttcheeks as you might feel a
 Slight electrical shock
 Please select the race history you desire
 You have selected "African-American"
 This is your history
 ♪
 First of all, the term "black and white" is a fallacy
 It simply is another way of saying "this or that"
 Let's examine the term "this or that" in its ultimate form
 Which is: "this" means the truth or "that" which is resistant to it
 When a minority realizes its similarities on a higher level
 Not just "black", but "people of color", and higher still "indigenous"
 And even higher still, "from the tribe of", and yet higher: "The Rainbow Children"
 When this understanding comes, the so-called minority becomes a majority in the wink of an eye
 This action will cause a reaction or resistance
 The source of this resistance must be banished as it is in direct conflict with the initial action
 It cannot be assimilated, for its very nature is resistance
 In other words, one cannot serve to masters
 You are either "this" or "that which is not this"
 End of part one
 To continue, select the program "Family Name" and type in the
 Current government name you wish history on
 ♪
 London, England, sometime in the early 1600's
 We have the God-given right to run out of our colonies
 Anyone who does not bow down to our law
 Hear, hear!
 Hear, hear, exactly, that's what I said!
 Hear hear, hear hear
 Aye, yes, aye, aye!
 Come on, come on, keep it moving here
 Come on, now
 What's your name boy?
 Abu, Abu Cah
 Well, it ain't now, it's Tom Lynch
 Mirror, mirror what you see?
 Have I still got those dark clouds over me?
 Or am I really feeling what I feel?
 The last days of the devil's deal
 Oh mirror, what you see?
 ♪
 Devil, devil what you know?
 You been here since 1914, but now you got to go
 You been hidin' behind corporate eyes
 You wanna war, but you can't fight
 Oh devil, oh, you got to go, yes sir!
 You might say, "what you mad about?"
 But you still got your family name
 Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rosenbloom
 I'll be John Blackwell just the same
 What's your family name?
 ♪
 Teacher, teacher what you say?
 Did we really come over in a boat?
 Did it really go down that way?
 Or did I arrive before you and ruin Thanksgiving Day?
 Oh teacher, oh, what you say?
 ♪
 Preacher, preacher is it true?
 That Jesus wants me to give my money to the likes of you?
 Ride around in your Lexus coupe
 Drive us to the cleaners in a pinstripe suit
 Oh preacher, that ain't truth!
 The bridge, huh
 You might say, "what you mad about?
 But you still got your family name
 Pleased to meet you, Mr. Pearlman
 You can call me "Clay"
 Now can I play?
 ♪
 People, people what's your name?
 Maybe we should start all over
 Let everybody get in the game
 Put up a one-gloved fist
 Make a sound, Violet Brown
 ♪
 You might say "what you mad about?"
 You still got your family name
 Pleased to meet you Mr. Goldstruck
 We found this tape in the Akashic records
 This is Thomas Jefferson
 "My fellow Americans, if there is a just God, we're gonna pay for this!"
 "Black men and White men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics
 Will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual
 Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last!"
 Johnny B
