“NO WE HATE WHITE SUPREMACY/RACISM AND OPPRESSION AND EVERY PERSON, PLACE, THING AND SITUATION ASSOCIATED WITH IT”
RBG Street Scholar doesn’t hate America or white people. But I / We do hate its / their racist and oppressive practices when dealing with Afrikan / Black people and other people of color here in the U.S. and throughout the world. And though I love people here and have no desire to live elsewhere (for now), overstand that America is no utopia. I believe concerned citizens / educators such as myself have a moral obligation to expose and crush problems and strive / fight for positive change by any means necessary. Running away from our problems or resorting to escapism via alcohol, drugs, material etc. will not solve them. This country was built off our Afrikan ancestors blood, sweat and tears from can’t see morning to can’t see night for no pay. Why the hell would I wanna leave- I / WE WANT OUR REPARATIONS (then I might be audi). Why you asks, because America is a sinking ship, the secrete government is blowing up pentagons, world trades and killing their own people for money and oil; and most walk around with their heads in the sand and /or are too afraid to fight for own their life. But also know this, if I / we were to leave this country, the problems inherent to the united snakes (especially militarism-police state and corporate exploitation) most likely affect us more elsewhere, because that is where they do most of their stealing and killing so they can live in glitter and glamor.

Furthermore, I believe that white supremacy / racism has and continues to be the major obstacle in the way of progress for the masses of our people here and throughout the diaspora , so we speak and teach on the unadulterated, documented truth of it all the best I know how, in a way that is accessible to the masses. And uncompromisingly. Things must to change for the better for everyone – that’s why I’m doing my part with this Communiversity. I’m basically trying to counteract measures that have been put in place systematically and with malicious intent for 500-5000 years in order to thwart Afrikan peoples growth and development as a self determined group.
And for the record, no, RBG Education doesn’t support terrorists (U.S. or otherwise) or terrorism, and, no, we’re not calling for violence to be inflicted on anyone. Remember, freedom of speech to voice dissent at injustice is NOT a privilege, but “a right afforded to us according to the constitution”. To not exercise that right when faced with injustice and oppression is unpatriotic – not the other way around.

THE WAR AGAINST MELANIN:
A deep cut analysis of European (Aryan and Semitic) scholarship and culture (including philosophy, mythology and religion, politics/governance, social theory and history, current events, education and economics, law and medicine, media communications, creative productions, arts and humanities) demonstrates that they all speak in one voice, and always in concert when it comes to those with the ability to produce color (melanin). But, precisely because melanin is more than a matter of color (skin pigmentation). It is the center of “hue-man” organizing, unifying and protecting probability, possibility and potentiality for Afrikan people. The European group has historically and presently continues to wage an undeclared “melanin war”. This war is characterized by remarkable unity of thought and action in all the aforementioned discipline in an effort to maintain a veil of falsification over a fundamental truth-WE AIN’T FREE. Henceforth, Afrikan peoples study of their history, politics, social science and culture must set out to ruin all tendentious theoretical frameworks and practices of global white supremacy/racism.

IN RE OF PSEUDO-NATIONALIST AND FAKE REVOLUTIONARIES:
N.B. There are a lot of hot-sauce integrationist on the web these days flexin red, black and green and claiming to be revolutionaries and Afrocentric educators in their work like its a damn fad. Please be careful, as these folk are really deceivers and enemies of our struggle /re-education process in black face. They are diluting and dumbing down the truth and presenting “safe” issues as to not offend the enemy (their boss). Some B.E.T. shit. For example, Malcolm X defined himself as a Black Nationalist Pan-Afrikanist Freedom Fighter, but most of what you will find on the web is” Malcolm X, civil rights leader”. They took his life for speaking the truth and still continue to piss on his grave by perverting his message. Malcolm fought for human rights and argued that (paraphrase) “you have to have human rights before you can have civil rights; human rights is the right to be a human being.” He told us this some 50 years ago and the reality of his words ring a most resounding cord today. “You can never get civil rights until you have human rights”. And I say to this, when a stick is shoved up a man’s rectum ripping apart his insides and unarmed Black men are shot 41 and 51 times by the police, I would argue that we are not being given consideration as a human beings . So know wonder they can write in civil rights laws like the voters rights act one year and threaten repeal the next–“they are not really entitled to civil rights, as we don’t ever consider/treat them as human beings”.
So, it is dis-respectful to our true Afrikan Scholars and Freedom Fighters for the word revolutionary to even come out of their pseudo-nationalists’ mouth. Remember “the man who butters your bread feeds your stomach”; all you have to do to know who they are and what they are really about is follow the money.
What our re-education and socialization process must be about is not merely a sterile, objective academic process; real lives are involved here and our people are/have been dying. Our education must teach us how to get involved in real struggle that yield a better quality of life for those that are suffering with nothing in the land of plenty. Again, Minister Malcolm X taught us that “the price of freedom is death”. Freedom is the ability to defend, define and develop in our own image and interest as a collection, not private success. Certainly we want peace, but the key to peace in dealing with this beast is the ability to make war. That’s why they did Iraq and not North Korea.
My main point is, these closet boot lickers and toe suckers need to sit down and shut up. And you would be wise to avoid them like the plague, because they are just as fatal to our struggle freedom.
AT SOME POINT THEY NEED TO BE CALLED OUT AND ACCOUNTED FOR.

WHO WAS IMHOTEP… and more

December 15, 2007March 28, 2025RBG Street Scholar 1 Comment

Imhotep, Doctor, Architect, High Priest, Scribe and
Vizier to King Djoser by Jimmy Dunn

Of the non royal population of Egypt, probably one man is known better then all others. So successful was Imhotep (Imhetep, Greek Imouthes) that he is one of the world’s most famous ancients, and his name, if not his true identity, has been made even more famous by various mummy movies. Today, the world is probably much more familiar with his name then that of his principal king, Djoser. Imhotep, who’s name means “the one that comes in peace”. existed as a mythological figure in the minds of most scholars until the end of the nineteenth century when he was established as a real historical person.

He was the world’s first named architect who built Egypt’s first pyramid, is often recognized as the world’s first doctor, a priest,. scribe, sage, poet, astrologer, and a vizier and chief minister, though this role is unclear, to Djoser (reigned 2630–2611 BC), the second king of Egypt’s third dynasty. He may have lived under as many as four kings. An inscription on one of that kings statues gives us Imhotep’s titles as the “chancellor of the king of lower Egypt”, the “first one under the king”, the “administrator of the great mansion”, the “hereditary Noble”, the “high priest of Heliopolis”, the “chief sculptor”, and finally the “chief carpenter”.

Of the details of his life, very little has survived though numerous statues and statuettes of him have been found. Some show him as an ordinary man who is dressed in plain attire. Others show him as a sage who is seated on a chair with a roll of papyrus on his knees or under his arm. Later, his statuettes show him with a god like beard, standing, and carrying the ankh and a scepter.

Inscription with the names of Netjerikhet (Djoser) and Imhotep

Imhotep may have been born in Ankhtowë, a suburb of Memphis early in Egyptian history. However, other classical writers suggested that he was from the village of Gebelein, south of ancient Thebes. His father might have been an architect named Kanofer. His mother could have been Khreduonkh, who probably belonged to the province of Mendes, and he may have had a wife named Ronfrenofert but none of this is by any means certain. As a commoner at birth, he rose through the ranks quickly due to his genius, natural talents and dedication.

As the High Priest of Heliopolis, he would have been one of the chief priest of Lower (northern) Egypt. Even though Egypt’s capital may have been located at Memphis, it is likely during this period that Heliopolis was recognized as the religious capital of Egypt.

As a builder, Imhotep is the first master architects who we know by name. He is not only credited as the first pyramid architect, who built Djoser’s Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara, but he may have had a hand in the building of Sekhemkhet’s unfinished pyramid, and also possibly with the establishment of the Edfu Temple, but that is not certain. The Step Pyramid remains today one of the most brilliant architecture wonders of the ancient world and is recognized as the first monumental stone structure.

Imhotep’s best known writings were medical text. As a physician, Imhotep is believed to have been the author of the Edwin Smith Papyrus in which more than 90 anatomical terms and 48 injuries are described. He may have also founded a school of medicine in Memphis, a part of his cult center possibly known as “Asklepion, which remained famous for two thousand years. All of this occurred some 2,200 years before the Western Father of Medicine Hippocrates was born.

Sir William Osler tells us that Imhotep was the:

“..first figure of a physician to stand out clearly from the mists of antiquity.” Imhotep diagnosed and treated over 200 diseases, 15 diseases of the abdomen, 11 of the bladder, 10 of the rectum, 29 of the eyes, and 18 of the skin, hair, nails and tongue. Imhotep treated tuberculosis, gallstones, appendicitis, gout and arthritis. He also performed surgery and practiced some dentistry. Imhotep extracted medicine from plants. He also knew the position and function of the vital organs and circulation of the blood system. The Encyclopedia Britannica says, “The evidence afforded by Egyptian and Greek texts support the view that Imhotep’s reputation was very respected in early times. His prestige increased with the lapse of centuries and his temples in Greek times were the centers of medical teachings.”

Along with medicine, he was also a patron of architects, knowledge and scribes. James Henry Breasted says of Imhotep:

“In priestly wisdom, in magic, in the formulation of wise proverbs; in medicine and architecture; this remarkable figure of Zoser’s reign left so notable a reputation that his name was never forgotten. He was the patron spirit of the later scribes, to whom they regularly poured out a libation from the water-jug of their writing outfit before beginning their work.

Imhotep is one example of the “personality cult” of Kemet, whereby a learned sage or otherwise especially venerated person could be deified after death and become a special intercessor for the living, much as the saints of Roman Catholicism. About 100 years after his death, he was elevated as a medical demigod. In about 525, around 2,000 years after his death, he was elevated to a full god, and replaced Nefertum in the great triad at Memphis. In the Turin Canon, he was known as the “son of Ptah”. Imhotep was, together with Amenhotep, the only mortal Egyptians that ever reached the position of full gods. He was also associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom, writing and learning, and with the Ibises, which was also associated with Thoth.

We are told that his main centers of worship were in the Ptolemaic temple to Hathor atf Dier el-Medina and at Karnak in Thebes, where he was worshipped in conjunction with Amenhotep-Son-of-Hapu, a sanctuary on the upper terrace of the temple at Deir el-Bahari, at Philae where a chapel of Imhotep stands immediately in front of the eastern pylon of the temple of Isis and of course, at Memphis in Lower (northern) Egypt, where a temple was erected to him near the Serapeum. At saqqara, we are told that people bought offerings to his cult center, including mummified Ibises and sometimes, clay models of diseased limbs and organs in the hope of being healed.

He was later even worshipped by the early Christians as one with Christ. The early Christians, it will be recalled, adapted to their use those pagan forms and persons whose influence through the ages had woven itself so powerfully into tradition that they could not omit them.

He was worshiped even in Greece where he was identified with their god of medicine, Aslepius. . He was honored by the Romans and the emperors Claudius and Tiberius had inscriptions praising Imhotep placed on the walls of their Egyptian temples. He even managed to find a place in Arab traditions, especially at Saqqara where his tomb is thought to be located.

Imhotep lived to a great age, apparently dying in the reign of King Huni, the last of the dynasty. His burial place has not been found but it has been speculated that it may indeed be at Saqqara, possibly in an unattested mastaba 3518.
