Black People Dance Because They Are Led By The Heartbeat Of The Universe

I have had some really interesting conversations with my brother. My brother is a musician. He’s really cool, and I love chatting with him. It’s not that we are so much alike, but sometimes our interests overlap.

One of my brother’s songs called “Chere were.”

I remember a conversation I had with him in 2016 or 2017 when I was supposed to give him a ride to the airport. We stayed up all night, because we didn’t want to miss his early morning flight. Somehow we started talking about “energy.”

He would say “everything is rhythm.” I agreed with him. We discussed about how the sun, the moon and the earth are all rhythmic. They move in cycles.

Those cycles are waves. In physics you can study their movements by measuring them using trigonometry. If you study how they move, you can understand where they will be sometime in the future.

Everything moves to a rhytm.

People remember music more than conversation, because of rhythm.

Therefore, rhythm must be really special…really important.

Your brain moves to a rhythm.

Your hormones move to a rhythm.

Your organs pulsate to a rhythm.

The whole world moves to rhythms. Different rhythms, but then we begin to move to the rhythm of the closest thing to us or the strongest rhythm in our surroundings.

My brother and I spoke about how and why some people seem to be “marching to the beat of their own drum,” and why White people can’t seem to dance.

We concluded that when a person lives inside their own head, their focus is on doing things a particular way regardless of what their surroundings call for. They turn off the part of their brain that is sensitive to rhythm. They are thinking their way through the problem.

White people have constructed a reality to support their quest for riches and power. That fantasy world has rules to it. Those rules are not always consistent with the laws of nature. They know how to manipulate that reality. So, they live according to those rules.

Black people are often blind to those rules. White people go to their private schools and live amongst each other comparing notes and grow consciously and unconsciously aware of how to navigate this world they created. Black people often operate like bats in their world, using echolocation often times. They have to move, not according to the exact rules but according to the rhythms.

I think that’s where the “magical negro” effect comes from. White people are often shocked at seemingly hidden truths that Black people are able to understand, and skills they are able to develop. However, what they fail to realize is that many of these superstar Black people (or “magical negroes”) at some point in their lives experienced something (most likely traumatic), that heightened their sense of perception in a particular way.

But all Black people have a certain amount of “magic” in them as they are connected to the rhythms of nature. They don’t have the rules in their heads (well, most don’t). So, they survive by following the rhythms.

African cultures also have a lot of music and dancing in them, because we believe in worship through movement, through the body and through action (not just through prayer). So, Black people vibrate with the universe on a subatomic level.

And that is why Black people can sing and dance.

White people remember the equations, because those are their symbols that they used to deconstruct and rebuild the universe. Unfortunately, there are some pieces missing in their puzzle and it’s breaking the world. They memorized the equations, but the equations are insufficient. So, they are manipulating the world with half finished blueprints.
