Well in general why say Good Morning it’s literally the same word as Mourning. I don’t use the word either way . Grand Rising or Rising . Don’t believe what you find on the internet etc true but if you research enough you will learn it’s a negative word to keep us in low vibrations. Mourning is connected to Grieving period

I agree however, I don't use "good morning" because I see my Risings as Grand...Great Awakenings. So that's what I spread...if "good" is enough for the masses...I leave them right there✨️

It's so funny that you say to research because that's exactly what brought me to your video. At work yesterday a young co-worker told me a far fetched story about how the phrase "Good morning" came to be and I immediately thought, "that doesn't sound right." and here I am doing my research trying to see if there was any truth to this story. Of course they saw it on TikTok and took it to heart because only fools believe everything they hear on tiktok 🤦‍♀smdh. This is our future people. I feel sad for this world especially now that I've heard about people pulling their children out of school letting THEM decide what they want to learn. We live in the age of idiots.

@@sherleengibson8847 It came from African traditions. The Disney version came from the book Joel Chandler Harris wrote from the tales of a Black man named "Uncle" George Terrell in Eatonton, Georgia, who likely got them from his African ancestors. At roughly the same time in Port Royal, South Carolina, another Black man named Prince Baskin told similar tales that he got from his African grandfather.

The seed planting quote goes back to ancient Greece and spoke to a blessed society. I live outside the US as a foreigner and racial minority and I don’t understand why black Americans appropriate other cultures while complaining about appropriation and racism. Regardless of race Jesus taught us how to lose a battle and win the war.

@@chamuuemura5314 first if all, of you look at the audience, this is not strictly about race. It's about people not giving up in the face of adversity. Secondly, I am not among those who believe that cultures are static and that they should not overlap. We Black people do not all think alike. I mentioned the gentleman who told me that quote, and I am aware that it has been used before, but this is what came to mind. This video captures the last ten minutes of a speech I gave last week, so some context is missing. Finally, as to Black people "complaining about racism" I would agree that there are opportunists who exploit the emotions of the people, and I have spoken against that (see my video about the Alabama hoax a year ago), but some complaints on that subject are legitimate, and those I support.

I didn't know that I enjoyed that show and your take on the cartoon remake. I'd watch it. We've seen a lot done in cartoon/comic book form. Truth be told HollyWood has already made millions from our stories and artifacts. It's not how the story was told but that it is. Something you make you can have all the rights to which is something we all want. Ownership!! too many of us are looking for the big splash when a puddle or a lake will do just fine. It's ours and something to call our own. one story turns into millions of other stories.😃🙂Funny thing is I was watching a program last night about a guy Alvin Schwartz who wrote a series of books called Scary Stories back in the 80's some teachers/parents wanted to ban, but they were children books written about folklore to teach children life lessons through scary stories, anyway the guy who wrote the books was a parent. The books were successful and years fast forward we have R.L.Stein. SIDE NOTE: I read my children a compilation of the bedtime stories I grew up with but the stories were the original version/meanings, not the sweet and kind ending I was read to. They did get the kind version before I came across that book in the library. I was actually curious myself of where those stories derived from. Very interesting read. The stories were based on Humpty Dumpty, Hansel & Gretel, etc. Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it🙂!!
