My introduction into the black consciousness community began when I was 19 years old. This was over 20 years ago. At that time I met a lot of the leaders of the Black Consciousness community. I attend their lectures and read as many books that I could find about African history, racism, slavery, etc. Since that time there has been two more generations of leaders within the Black Consciousness community. This video is an explanation as to why I do not associate myself with the current generation and past generations of leaders within the Black consciousness community.
To start I will say that there are many leaders within the Black consciousness community who are currently doing positive work and helping to uplift Black people. I respect these leaders and commend them for the important worth that they have and continue to do. However, I recognize that a significant portion of the leadership within the Black consciousness community continues to offer counterproductive rhetoric and information that has and continues to stifle the progressions of black people. It is clear to me that the proportion of counter productivity currently present within the black consciousness community makes it impossible for me to associate myself or my name with the black consciousness community.
Here are my top 5 reasons why I cannot associate with the black consciousness community:
5. Antiquated philosophy and rhetoric
(Orientation towards the past vs. Orientation towards the future)
(Slavery, Jim Crow, Lynchings, Black Wall Street, Civil Rights Movement)
Victim mentality / Perpetual victimhood / Promotes hatred towards other people
4. Lot’s of talk; very little action (Production)
Poverty Consciousness or Ghetto-centric materialism
3. Does not promote healthy family institutions
2. Does not promote positive male/female relationship
(Sexist / Misogynistic / Polygamy / Fake Love For Black Women)
1. Too much beefing / Infighting / Disrespect / Debating / Hatred / Rap / No honorable code of conduct
Black Power is a political slogan and a name for various associated ideologies aimed at achieving self-determination for people of African/Black descent.

The Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) was a grassroots anti-Apartheid activist movement that emerged in South Africa in the mid-1960s out of the political vacuum created by the jailing and banning of the African National Congress and Pan Africanist Congress leadership after the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960.[1] The BCM represented a social movement for political consciousness.
“Black Consciousness origins were deeply rooted in Christianity. In 1966, the Anglican Church under the incumbent, Archbishop Robert Selby Taylor, convened a meeting which later on led to the foundation of the University Christian Movement (UCM). This was to become the vehicle for Black Consciousness.”[2]
The ideology of Black Consciousness, which informed Biko and his colleagues’ approach, represented a deeper strand of Africanism within African nationalism. This ideology had a long history which dates back to the 1880s, when it was borrowed from foreign writers such as Frantz Fanon, whose banned book about the Algerian war against French settlers was widely read. Fanon stated that:
“…the native had become psychologically incapacitated, no longer capable of action. The native detested white society, but was envious of it. Realising that his own skin prevented him from ever attaining privilege, the native despised his own blackness.”

I’m a white dude, so I come to this from an outside perspective, and would never deign to tell a Black man or woman how to live. I am here only to listen and learn. And you, sir, strike me as a uniquely talented teacher. Thank you for making your perspectives available to me. New sub.
Respect!!
you are an honourable, wise man Lenon. I say this as an old white man. Your thinking can be applied to all communities and it alarms me that so much hate is generated by the folk you speak about. The hate and dysfunctional families also is a primary generator of crime and further breakdown in a community. Keep up the good work.
Looking for that series on the working of evil do you have it still lenon ?
So glad I left this community of lames. I can relate to it all bro. Fake, hypocritical people that whine about white people but do nothing to empower or better themselves. Charlatan men that prey on women and sexually, emotionally & physically abuse them, dysfunctional women, egotistical old people that think they are elders. It's a bunch of bullshit.
Thank you for this message. I think that all civilized cultures agree that a strong nation is built on strong families. That is why they put so much emphasis on marriage.
Great video⚡
This video is the painful truth.
Powerful and true, keep up the good work
Brother you are great. I agree with everything you say
@LenonHonor You are a leader of consciousness… The fact that you felt the need to speak out against injustices that you see around you makes you conscious. You are literally subconsciously following in the same footsteps of as our great ancestor El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz when he called out the Honorable Elijah Muhammad for being a hypocrite for committing adultery. I also follow in the footsteps of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, Kwame Ture, Dr. Khalid Muhammad, & Fred Hampton these men and their philosophies helped shape me into the man I am today. Which made me even better than I was before.

U have to look at the root cause on why black people act the way they do eliminate the cause and things will change
You’ve covered some great points! These are some of the reasons why I ‘ve stop associating with the so-called conscious community. God bless you and your family.
THIS IS HOW CONSCIOUS BLACK PEOPLE DECEIVED THE MASSES
These conscious fake scam artist are street hustlers. We are forced to research their true identities.
This is what happens when you trust in people who hide under character nicknames…… Their nickname alone is fake which makes their intentions automatically suspect.
I'm just an illusion destroyer period!!!
FAKE ASS BLACK PEOPLE EVERYWHERE…….
What I don't trust about most Black people is that they appear strong in their voices yet identify themselves as a character with a damn nickname and refuse to use their real name. These particular black characters come to deceive the masses. That's what make MOST black people FAKE!!!!
The government already knows who you are when you signed up for a YouTube account. So who are you hiding your identity from? Black women and men talking about black issues while hiding their real name. Lmfao….. 😂😂😂💯
My real name and identity is under my profile everywhere. If you want to be a voice then stop using a fake nickname. White people behind the scenes know the true YOU. WE DON'T!!!! a lot of black people are soooo full of shit. Smdh

I bear witness to the "pussy hustle" happening in the conscious community masquerading as polygamy. One thing Brother Steve Cokely (PBUH) taught me was to never come before the people dirty. Many have failed to conduct themselves as brothers and men.
yes family is important. But identify should be spirit/soul first. if you identify as a husband (which is just a title) if your marriage dissolve s then there is a risk of an identity crisis. if you identify as a father (another title) if you loss a child, then the risk is as above mentioned. But to identify as a loving spirit. Your behavior is to be a dedicated husband and father. You see, life experience is not static and if you remain true to spirit. You are fluid. The key is not to react, but to flow (vibrate).
By the way, not taking either side of this argument.
The truth
Over simplified
I feel there are a lot of pros and cons when comes to so called "black conscience community". I heard many people who claimed to be apart these groups that will agree with Lennon wholeheartedly and then those that will disagree. There are a lot of con artists and also people who are genuine.
That's a mutha fuckin shame😁😁😁😁DAMN BRO
LENON YOU went in
we are victims, although i strive to be great and all that as you said, but we are victims and society wants us to ignore what happened to us and what continues to happen.
I would challenge you to look deeper and not from a eurocentric perspective. I don’t know who you have previously exposed yourself to, but I would recommend everything Dr. Amos Wilson.
2 yr ago I was closed off to this message but I have come to the conclusion that your absolutely correct, the CC is nothing but backbiting do nothing hyper masculinity run a muck, I also am a family Man, I have a Wife, 2 Children and 4 Grand kids and I am grateful that I never abandoned them. Thank You Bro. Damn good videio
Thank you for the points you made about hiphop. The number one consumers of rap music in terms of dollars spent is white people, particularly white men. Look in the crowds at Kanye, Jay Z and Chance the Rapper concerts and you will sea of overwhelmingly white faces. The vast majority of music media owners, agents and studio executives are white men. How can something that primarily benefits white men economically and is consumed by white men in mass be good for black people and black families? it just can't.
this video is on point. I'm late.
👏👏👏👏👏👏

great speech
Wise man Mr Honor
On point! Simply put…if their gonna talk the talk…they have to walk the walk!! And NOT just the parts that benefit their life styles!
what you're saying does not make sense because of a person is a victim let me break it down dude keeps on robbing you every other day he robs you that last time he robs you you're going to kill him but if you don't think he's robbing you because he might be finessing you you're not going to do nothing about it we are victims that need to stand up Freedom now and ain't nothing change as long as capitalism remains so that calls for organized Revolution mother sucker the chump who says the solution is voting put a Uncle Tom in the White House🐒
Lenon Honor, Your video had some great comments but once again I was turned off by the profanity in the content. I am an older black female and find so many black people with interesting things to say. The downside is the foul language. I wish we would clean it up. Otherwise, the message was uplifting. I could only listen to the video in parts.
Get'em!!
Please say you are writing a book on this! Got my support!! Lol
But the whole "black consciousness "community an is illusion for lost sheep
all women are whores in their youth. wake up. pimpin is the shit. they hos they need representation. now all that baby momma shit it in the way. You got time to make babies, you got enough time to get a mansion to but them and their mammas in.
lollll reminds me of obama
hot dang! you are my new hero on the polygamy talk. I thought the silence from Black's was disheartening. kudo's to your one wife and beautiful family!!!
Thank you, this video is much appreciated. I'm all about self accountability and making a positive difference, by allowing your life to reflect your beliefs. That is truly missing from the "black conscious" community overall. Additionally, the promotion of women being apart of a harem as the new relationship norm , not marriage, lost me a long time ago. Peace to you and your family!
Conscious Community is causing us to fall. The reason that I don't deal with the so-called enlightened is because most of them believe in polygamy. God has never authorized you to allow your husband to slept with another woman. This is the traditions of MEN. This is an unclean practice and it causes yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. Check out my video. Allow Yah and speak to your heart, it is a nasty practice that spread bad bacteria… Wake up my sistah. You can't be a strong Queen and yet be weak enough to share your sacred union with another WOMAN. If the woman stands up for herself with respect and strength we could stop this nasty practice within a short period of time. click on my name Sistah Yahshanti (above) and watch my video about how nasty polygamy is. Don't listen to anyone that is preaching false doctrine.
Double KUDOS to the point about code of conduct and honor, especially in these public forums! Keep it growing and flowing!
I absolutely agree with everything you've stated – particularly the family… Although, I don't have children, I AM very pro family and I show and live this in every way… I am keeping in line with the proverbial adage that *'it takes a village to raise a child'*… We all must do our part, whether we have children or not. Excellent commentary!
Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge)
Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude or self)
Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (skills)
Most teachers don't even go past cognitive. This applies to those who are in the schools, streets, homes, and religious arenas. So this info is for anyone. If they can't offer or bring about the affective or psychomotor level but they will only offer cognitive (at best but to be honest it's not real knowledge but pseudo knowledge and psuedo teaching) then they can't be trusted and YouTube doesn't make one a master, teacher, a god or a leader.
