NEGUS

Image
I absolutely admire when insightful and enlightened peeps drop some serious knowledge on a sistah. I was talking to a friend one day and she wrote something on a piece of paper and told me to go online and look up the word that she wrote down. I looked at the paper and she wrote the word "Negus." I must of had a look of confusion on my face so she proceeded to tell me that yes it is pronounced like the word "Niggas". Talk about the things that make you go HMMMM!!! I had never seen this word before and I was intrigued to learn more about its origin and definition. According to Wikipedia the definition of Negus is "Negus ( Ge'ez , nigūś , Amharic nigūs ; cf.

Image
I just had someone point this out to me over the weekend. I was shocked, amazed, then upset all within seconds. I was shocked that I never noticed it. Amazed that there is actually a black man sitting at the table with all of the "Fore Fathers" of the United States of America. Then, I was upset because here goes another part of OUR history that is has gone unseen. The following article is from the Black Homeschoolers Club on NING. The Gentleman is John Hanson Moor. He was allegedly the first President of the United States. Yes, A black man!!! What do you think?? I am still looking up this info regarding this history. Clearly you can see that there is a man of color on the back of the $2 Bill. What is on the Back of the Two Dollar Bill? The back of the $2 bill has an engraving of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In the image is a man who has dark skin and wearing a powdered wig while sitting at the table just to the left of the men standing in the center of th...
