The following is Blog number thirty-three and is part of the ongoing Racial Reconciliation in America Series. A number of posts will be made in this segment of the Series as we discuss The Black American Family. This post is entitled: The Black American Family – Progenitor Connectivity, a Wealth Pass Through.

RACIAL RECONCILIATION

THE BLACK AMERICAN FAMILY

PROGENITOR CONNECTIVITY, A WEALTH PASS THROUGH

The progenitor connectivity experienced by the Jewish people is not a historical reality of the Black-American! No, for Black folk, there is no written record, from which to draw strength of culture, ancestry, and familial blood bond. The vile impact from African Slavery in America is not limited to the “Mark of Oppression;” it includes a negative psychic pass through, that facilitates this “Mark of Oppression.” Indeed, it is the loss of ancestral connectivity, that most contributes to this negative psychic pass through. Progenitor wealth does not exist for American born Black folk!

We contend that there is nothing beyond Salvation through Jesus Christ, which is more important spiritually to the individual, than family and cultural affirming generational connectivity! Progenitor connectivity that is so real and beneficial for the Jewish people; due to Slavery in America, this is something dispossessed of the Black-American. We contend that this is a most egregious reality and a suffering of the Black family in today’s America!

Now, as a practical matter, there is also the principle of progenitor familial wealth pass through, which has a profound affect on an entire culture or race of people. The ability of a family of people: to sweat and toil, to produce both capital and property assets, affects their progeny’s creation of capital and material wealth in the form of familial assets! The progenitor provides a base foundation on which the progeny further builds.

As a family gains wealth, it is able to pass any remaining wealth forward unto its generational lineage as a legacy. It is a powerful thing to be able to say: “My grandfather left me this trust fund!” Or “This property has been in our family for generations!” “Our family served in the Revolutionary War!” “My daddy’s great, great grandfather was a General in the Confederacy and we kept this plantation!”

There are limited few Black Americans alive today who can make these claims! Pride of accomplishment inventiveness and the wealth or property pass through is a progenitor decision. For American born Black folk theft is the reality of ancestral pass-through!

Indeed there are American citizens alive today, whose progenitor’s wealth creation came as a result of Black-American Slavery; in fact, from the trading in slaves. The historical war of White folk against the Black familial structure and stability has profoundly impacted negatively upon Black-American wealth creation. We dare say that it has prevented it!

The theft of sweat and invention; its devaluing as an equity asset is a most egregious offense! Think about the affect of centuries of not passing through the profits from your sweat, goodwill and invention. Think about someone else’s progeny benefitting from this offering to the world, but not your progeny. It could cause a sense of rage to a right thinking person, who is alive and possessing this knowledge.

Therefore it is wise to keep this knowledge buried, indeed the entire lineage hidden. When compared to the White human beings in America who have benefited greatly from the wealth of an ancestry; who in their own sloth, lived off of the sweat of Black folk: well it is a great wonder that Black Americans fare as well, today, as they do.

But for God, and a deep spiritual connection with God, in the majority of the ancestry of Black people since landing on this continent, their lot, would, likely, be total madness! If one considers the matter of Black on Black crime today, one could say that there is certainly some element of self-destructive madness within the Race.
