Prez Donald Trump is the Devil in the Book of Job

Don't be scared of Prez Donald Trump, he just the devil, like the one in the Book of Job. If Trump is the devil, who is Job? Job is the so-called Negro who was kidnapped, brainwashed, raped, tortured and terrorized until reduced from Kunta to Toby and accepted his job for life, yes, job as in Job. Even today, after 400 years of involuntary servitude, most so-called Negroes, aka North American Africans, only want a job, sometimes called "a slave" (Gotta get to ma slave, man, later).So although the idea of do for self or entrepreneurship is slowly creeping into his consciousness, especially after Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad, because they recognize the glass ceiling awaits them, as did my darling daughter Muhammida El Muhajir realized after reaching the heights of corporate America (NIKE, William Morris Agency, et al.) and departed to Ghana (See her interview with Al Jazeerah, Blaxit). She noted that after graduating from Howard University with a B.S. in Microbiology, on a track scholarship, "I ran track to be a winner. I am not going to stay in any race that I have no possibility of winning. Ghana may not have electricity 24/7 but they don't have white supremacy 24/7. I am not followed around in expensive stores, restaurants and hotels. I am black among my Black people!"
Cheikh Anta Diop on Northern Cradle Tragedy and Southern Cradle Tragi-Comedy
Cheikh Anta Diop taught us there is no tragedy in Southern Cradle or Kemetic/African drama . The essential theme in European or Northern Cradle drama is murder! Check out the Greek dramatists and especially Shakespeare.
The primordial African drama is the Resurrection of Osiris, based on the annual ebb and flow of the Nile or Hapi River and the renewal of crops from death to resurrection celebrated in the Harvest festival ritual revised by Maulana Karenga (FYI, Karenga was the Southern California representative of Oakland's Afrcan American Association, under the leadership of Attorney Donald Warden, aka. Khalid Abdullah Tariq Al Mansour who went on to represent OPEC and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).
Did Kwanza originate in Oakland?
Let us consider Kwanza originated in Oakland with the AAA, just for historical fact, along with the AAA's influence on Black Panther founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale (See AAA member Ed Howard on Oakland and Kwanza).
The Afro American Association was critical in the West Coast Black Arts Movement and Black Studies. (In Sha Allah, Marvin X will explore this history in his forthcoming The Untold Story of the Black Student Revolution at San Francisco State University, co-authored by Nefertiti Jackmon and published by Black Bird Press, Oakland.
Osiris as Kemetic/Egyptian Black African Savior God of Resurrection
This prototypical savior drama (see Kersey Graves The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors or Christianity Before Christ) of crucifixion, resurrection and ascension, the Osiris myth/ritual, followed kidnapped Africans to the New World, yes, that wilderness of North America and throughout the Americas or Diaspora.
The Osiris Resurrection drama was synchronized in the variety of Kemetic/African spiritual expressions throughout the Americas, including Vodun, Condomple, Santaria, Holy Ghost Church, et al., no matter the US, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Jamaica, Brazil, at al. These New world Africans who had actually lived in the Americas Before Columbus as Moors, continue to express their myth/ritual spiritual expressions, but it was the same expression Nile Valley vision of Resurrection and Joy, no matter the death of Africans in the Americas, genocide, the indefatigable African spirit.
Rev. James Cone: The Cross and Lynching Tree: Osiris, Job, Jesus, Negro
Our beloved Ancestor Rev. James Cone said we cannot understand Christianity and our role in the Christian myth/ritual until we come to terms with the Cross and the Lynching Tree. We can identify with the Crucified Jesus as Osiris or imagine ourselves as the central character in the Book of Job.
God tells the devil to try Job to see if he will remain faithful. God said, "Devil, you can do anything to him but kill him." So the devil agreed to God's project, as if the devil had a choice since he was God's servant as well. He certainly didn't have power over God!
The devil proceeded to torture Job to no end, inflicting him with all manner of diseases, boils, abscesses, loss of property, children, even his wife turned against him, crying, "Job, why don't you curse God and die!"
But Job persisted as Abdullah, i.e., servant of God.
We are all Abdullah, even the devil, Shaitan, as we see in the story of Job. Job was given a test that he passed: he kept the faith, a true trooper. He was solid, he never bent, never submitted.
Prez Donald Trump as Devil
As per Prez Donald Trump, keep the faith of your ancestors who endured the worse horrors any people endured in the history of the world; alas, the Jews suffered Hitler for four or five years while you suffered 400 years, yet you have no memory of your suffering.
Is it not a psychological fact that victims of trauma can't remember what happened to them? Dr. Nathan Hare says we don't suffer amnesia because amnesia implies we simply forgot, but Dr. Hare claims we suffered a severe degree of menticide or murder of the mind, hence we are in such a state of trauma and unresolved grief that we don't understand we have won the battle with the devil as depicted in the Book of Job.
The Enemy will not tell you when you are winning!
A partner of mine said, "The enemy will never tell you when you are winning!" You think they will announce on CNN, NPR, FOX?
North Americans achieved National Sovereignty today after 400 years. The US Government agreed to pay 16 Trillion in Reparations and agreed to partition land on a coast of the United States for the establishment of an independent state known as The Republic of North American Africa.
Trump's Duty as Devil
Prez Trump's duty as the devil is to try you to see if you are indeed a true trooper, i.e., Abdullah, servant of God/Allah. He's duty bound to inflict you with economic deprivation, although he claims you are in the best economic shape since you arrived in the wilderness of North America. Do you have living wage jobs? Are you able to halt the gentrification of your hoods coast to coast, from Harlem to San Frdaancisco's Fillmore and West Oakland?
Malcolm X: Hoodwinked and Bamboozled
Malcolm X told you not to be hoodwinked and bamboozled! Elijah Muhammad told you not to be victims of tricknology!
In fact, Elijah tricked the trick out of the trick; call it reverse psychology. Read Message to the Black Man by Elijah Muhammad , i.e., Black Studies 101. Elijah gave us an original mythology, even Marcus Garvey didn't give us the whole enchilada, although he studied with Duse Muhammad Ali in London before coming to America to connect with Booker T. Washington. Duse Muhammad gave him the concept of One God, One Aim, One Destiny, African for Africans, those at home and abroad. Today this is called Pan Africanism. Pan African-ism is the most potent concept in the Pan African world, a primal motivation of the African Union, although the African Union is plagued with contradictions: At this moment the AU is a repetitious continuation of the failed European model Africa adopted after de-colonialism and now trying to implement while the EU is falling apart as we see with Brexit. Italy is on the road to implement a nationalist, populist agenda, anti globalist and anti neo-liberalism agenda.
Booker T and Marcus Garvey
Washington died before Garvey could meet with him, although he understood Washington's philosophy of do for self, which Garvey implemented as best he could, fighting black bourgeoisie all the way, including W.E.B. DuBois. It is a sad chapter in our history that our intellectuals conspired with the newly formed FBI to drive Garvey out of the USA, the greatest Black Nationalist leader of all times, until the coming of Elijah Muhammad who claimed he was only continuing the work of Garvey. And he did so, building the Nation of Islam into the greatest organization after Marcus Garvey. Consider Elijah's students: Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Farrakhan, Wraith Din Muhammad, Marvin X, et al.
Have no fear of the devil, Prez Trump. Don't be afraid to make a deal with the devil, although he claims to be master of Art of the Deal. But we know the devil planned and Allah planned, but Allah is the Best Planner.
Give the devil Brownie points for pardoning the first Black Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson for violating the Black Man Act, i.e., transporting white women over state lines,.and for pardoning our beloved sister Alice Johnson. FYI, what is the meaning of John in Arabic? John means life giver, Arabic Yahya. Jack and Alice were given life by the will of Allah through the devil. Her lawyer reported Alice said, "It feels like I have been resurrected from the dead...."
We suggest the devil, Prez Trump, stop cherry picking our oppressed people and give a general amnesty to all captives in USA dungeons, gulags, jails and prisons of America, most of whom are poor, mentally ill and drug addicted, plus lacked proper legal representation due to their poverty.
Oh, Children of Job, do not be afraid to look the devil in his blues and don't blink. God got your back and your front. Be blessed and ever on the alert. Do not leave your post without being properly relieved, Soldier!

P.S. We cannot end this story without an antidote of how God/Allah blessed me in harmony with the Job myth/ritual. The Book of Job ends with Job keeping the faith and therefore being blessed with double everything he lost. Crack heads will remember how we used to run through the hood with a double up of Crack. Well, since the 60s I spent my money, in the words of my dear Mother, on travel and books. But Crack made me sell my library and when Eldridge Cleaver and I smoked together and ran out of money, I told him to look around his room which were book cases full of books. He immediately agreed to sell the books for Crack and we did, even down to the last book case.
In the Kemetic tragi-comedy and Christian Jobian myth-ritual, I have been blessed with more books in my apartment than I ever imagined. Dr. Nathan Hare gave me his entire library, more or less; I also inherited the library of my mentor, the Honorable John Doumbia, comrade of Malcolm X in their Harlem hustling days, along with many of my daughter Amira's books from her study at Yale and Stanford Law School.
