Nelly Sends Two Kids to College Every Year for the Last 10 Years: ‘Only Way to Elevate Black Community is Education’
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on September 01, 2015 In the wake of the Mike Brown shooting and Ferguson protests last year, many in the Black community called for Black celebrities to speak out against the injustices shown to their own people. Some Black celebs rose to the occasion, using social media and TV news outlets like CNN to say their piece. Others, like Nelly, preferred to move in relative silence and let their actions do the talking. Following the events in Ferguson, the St. Louis rapper came under fire for not visiting the city right away. He eventually visited Ferguson to speak with protesters and created a scholarship fund in Michael Brown’s name. The scholarship was not merely a sentimental act to honor the slain college student but a part of a strategic plan to help bring change to the Ferguson community in the only effective way he believes he can. “I try to do it through education because that’s the only way we’re going to get it. The only way we’re going to get this is to elevate,” Nelly explained in an interview with Hello Beautiful just after the Ferguson anniversary on August 9, 2015. “We have to get the kids to go out of these communities. Graduate. Get the knowledge. Come back to the community, and then they can run it because they understand the people and understand the severity of the situation.” More: https://atlantablackstar.com/2015/08/20/ne...

You go Nelly! Wednesday, September 2nd 2015 at 11:41PM |

Rapper Mr. Nelly is wrong about White America’s education is the only way Black Americans are going to get it. The truth of the matter is that only Black Americans can educate Black American. Black Americans can not thrive off of White America’s education! Therefore, Black Americans must become a sovereign nation as White America and England are. God is going to that for us! If the concept of having the White man’s education is Black America’s solution then Dr. Martin L. King would have certainly been the one who understood the severity of Black America’s situation, but Dr. King did not understand with all the White education he had. Black Americans are worst off today than when Dr. King was alive. Dr. King did not understand that racism was through out the entire culture of White American that Black America’s only way out is for Black Americans to have our own of everything; have our own country, our own religion instead of the White man’s Christian religion that Dr. King was submerged in, our own prophet instead of the White man’s White Jewish Jesus that Dr. King believe is his Lord and Savior because Dr. King did not know that his Lord and Savior must be of the same race as Dr. King. Dr. King did not understand that Black America’s only way out is the same as what God rendered for the Children of Israel and delivered them out of Egypt and the hands of Pharaoh. Black Americans must get out of White America and only God can handle this task and no one else. Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 11:26AM |

Yes! This is what's needed In our communities is our educated children to come back into the neighborhood and start businesses and keep the money circulating within it. Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 11:33AM |

Having our own country trumps a community. When we don’t have our own country obviously the communities we live in still belongs to White America since this county is White America’s. Am I telling the truth? Consequentially, the money circulating in our communities is the White man’s currency since our minds are not on having our own country. Since God is the only entity that can bring about our country and our minds is against having our own country than our minds is not on God. You are a fool Mr. Deacon because you can not analytically think and rationally reason! It is obvious to an idiot that a country trumps a community! You don’t want your own country, but would rather have and live in the White man’s community. You are stupid! The question that should be coming from you to me is how we can get our own country!

Education has always been the key and always will be the key, for without educators, there would no progression in history, math, science, health, all of which you have benefited from and owe your existence too, especially when you take medications. Education is the key to a stronger mind, body and soul. For without Education, you are subject to fall for anything. Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 12:54PM |

Mr. Deacon, I never said education is not paramount! I said that having the White man’s education is not helpful to us. In time to come Black Americans will become the best educated people in the world that the world will follow our lead! I said that Black Americans must educate our selves and not White America educating us. Every people’s education is different so it can work for them and Black Americans must have a Black American education. This can only be done when Black Americans become a sovereign people in a country of our own as I have already out-lined! What Black Americans need to have in our minds is becoming a sovereign people in a country of our own. You are not openly will to understand the particulars of what I am saying because it would make you agreed with me and that you are against since you think that you are smarter than I am. So, even when I am right you will not agree with me. I am not going to keep going back and forth with you since it is a dead-end street dialoguing with you. Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 1:19PM |

I see that we will get off topic here, so I will start a blog and maybe you will answer my questions there, OK!!!! I will not hyjack this blog with your topics. Let's move, NOW! Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 2:03PM |

Mr. Deacon, You say and asked, Ok... How do we get from this so-called white man's education to a country of our own? Since God is the only entity and a Spirit we must come to believe in God as I do and not the White Jewish Jesus! There is nothing wrong about the White Jewish Jesus. Jesus was not one of us and we are not his people since we are not Jewish people. You never had believed in God because you never knew or was introduced to God until now! I am the first of our race to believe and have faith in God; the same God that anointed the White Jewish Jesus am talking about. The White Jewish Jesus and I are two genuine prophets since we were anointed by the same God. Mr. Deacon the only way for you is to come to believe in God as I do. When I pray or focus on God there are no images in my mind. God is a thought. I see no image because God is a Spirit! The rule is that only the prophet of the people can introduce his people to God. Since I am our first genuine prophet this is the first time I am introducing you to God. I had never introduced you or any Black American to Jesus the Christ as God because I am a Christ myself; I am Christ Harry or Prophet Harry. Likewise, Jesus was Prophet Jesus or Christ Jesus and not God! Again, you must come to believe and have faith in God that when we begin to see things that we thought impossible happening leading us into our own country you having faith in God from this moment forth would have worth it all.

Mr. Deacon, It is on this blog that you found me therefore it is not needed to you start a special blog for me. I am not special. You are stupid! How could you think that you would be hijacking this blog when I was here first? You are damn stupid! Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 2:51PM |
|
I will not continue on this blog talking about you, when this blog is not about you. I have created a format just for you and yes, I do think you are special. Come and let us discuss the matter of having our own country like you suggested. Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 3:16PM |
|
Mr. Deacon, My point is far from me being special because I am not special as you say that I am. My point is that you met and challenged me on this blog about having our own country. Therefore, it will be this blog we will dialogue! You are not in charge of a damn thing. You can’t be right to move me to your blog when we met on this blog idiot! Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 5:39PM |

If you was sure of yourself you can make your point anywheres and at any time. Yee of little faith. Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 6:57PM |

@ Deac, ..."I do think you are special."... Oh he's SPECIAL alright! Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 7:27PM |

Mr. Deacon, You are right when you said that if I was sure of myself I could make my point anywhere and that is why I choose to make my point on this blog and not on any of your blogs! You said that Christ is in you and you are in Christ! I take it that you are referring to Christ Jesus and not Christ Harry or Christ Mohammed or Christ Moses since all the prophets I just named were all Christ because they all were anointed by the same God that anointed Jesus and Christ means the anointed ONE! Please explain how the White Jewish Jesus could be in you! I understand how you could think that you are in the White Jewish Jesus because you are damn mentally stupid to believe a lie. It is not possible that Christ Jesus could be in you and you in him when both of you are racially different. Am I right with my IQ of 68 you dumb-ass fool? Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 9:24PM |

Mrs. Fa, Have you forgotten what caused our break-up? Well, let me remind you! several years ago you were claiming how intelligent you are and this is what you had said. You had done something wrong and the disciplinary board brought you before them to decide what to do with you. You started crying to make them sorry for you and they did. You invoked their natural sympathy and they let you go. You claimed that you got over on these White folks because you were more intelligent than they are. Your claim of being intelligent infuriated me. Invoking some one’s emotions to feel sorry for you when you were wrong is disgusting and low. When you are wrong be a woman and deal honestly and up-right about your wrongs you scoundrel ass woman! Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 9:49PM |

Mr. Deacon, I never said that this blog was mines. Ms. Moss is not giving me any complains ass-hole. By the same token let me tell you as well that this blog is not yours either. So, you disciplining me over some one else’s blog makes you a trouble maker and a damn ass fool. If you are not going to explain to me how you are in Christ Jesus and the White Jewish Christ Jesus is in you this will be my last comment to you! I am not interest in any stupid and childish dialogue with you. I am 71 years old and I’ve left all my childish ways behind me you fu*king stupid! I hate stupidity especially a stupid-ass Black American man. If you were sure of your self you wouldn’t hesitate to explain. You are afraid to defend your stupid-ass White belief to me because I will tear your stupid ass up and down! This is my last comment to you ass-hole. Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 10:02PM |

Sister Moss won't complain because she has a wonderful nature and a beautiful soul for you to take advantage of her would be a shame to be on this blog any longer. You are right this blog is not mine So, let us get off her blog and let her message flow. Just look at you, come on and let us get off this blog, stop hiding behind Sister Moss and go where you can explain yourself with all this pressure that you have put yourself under. I will meet you on ATTN HARRY: LET'S GO! Thursday, September 3rd 2015 at 10:29PM |

Some people like Harry can find anything to complain about, even in a positive story. Harry is so die hard against Nelly investing in the education of our young people, yet where is his school/university or scholarship program? I'm very happy to hear Nelly is investing in the education of our young people. As someone who has worked in the school system for many years, I can't see anything but this being a positive thing. I have seen some young people who have been written off, abused and disregarded, becoming a statistic, but once they receive an education and the right mentoring they completely turn their lives around. We often hear of people in the news who were MADE to go to school to get off of the streets and away from their environments. They are completely different people now, who are now helping youth who were in their situation. At least Nelly is trying to help these youth reach their potential in life. Nelly is living by the mantra "each one, teach one." Opportunities like this don't come very easy in the black community, and I hope these students utilize this fortunate event to the best of their abilities. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one of these students ends up making Ebony Magazine's Power 100 list and is a success story? Monday, September 7th 2015 at 4:39PM |

Although I curse you all out I have not met a Black American that I did not love. I would stand still and ask my self how I feel and my feeling would tell me if I dislike this person. I said that to say Ms. Siebra you are stupid! I did not say I was against education. I said that I was against White people educating us. I want Blacks to educate Blacks and let the Whites continue to educate Whites. However, for this to happen we must first have our own country, am I right? Monday, September 7th 2015 at 5:06PM |

Whether white people or black people educate us, education is education. Elijah Muhammad once said he was for the acquisition of education for all his people. He did not say where to obtain it. Sure some knowledge on certain subjects (such as our history and our culture) is better obtained via another Black person, but the point me and Deacon Ron are making is go anywhere that will aid you in the development of knowledge. Min. Farrakhan has doctors in the NOI under his leadership who were classically trained in Ivy League educational setting, and he also has doctors who are trained by some of the leading HBCUs in the world. I know of one sister who he paid for her to further her education and receive her Ph.D. degree. The doctors all have different approaches to medicine/healing but they all can learn something from each other. What do you expect our young sisters and brothers to do, drop out of school, have babies out of wedlock, and sell poison to our people, and engage in robbing, stealing, and killing? Our youth can't make progress doing things like that! Monday, September 7th 2015 at 5:54PM |

Ms. Muhammad, You and the Deacon have it absolutely wrong! You must look at education as a national security. Therefore, it very well matters if some other people other than your own race educating you you have no national security. Your doors are wide open when they should be shut tight. When others are educating you you don’t have anything that you can mark top secrete. You are wide open to anything. If it did not matter who educated us Elijah Muhammad would have never opened up Sis Clara Muhammad University. The object is to have the right to the crown of being the best steward of God’s earth. The only right to have that crown is to become the smartest races. You will keep that crown until another race becomes smarter than you. That is how things work in God’s creation. I know because I am a prophet. To be able to educate our selves we must first have our own country! Ms. Muhammad, You and the Deacon have it absolutely wrong!
