Affirmative Action was Reversed, Now What?

With the recent systemic attacks on Black reparatory justice, many are gripped with the expectation of more violence and devastating socioeconomic setbacks for Black America in the imminent future. They’re trying to take us back to the Jim Crow era, is a common refrain. Well they already have, politically speaking. We just don’t see it yet.

Since what happens to Black people in America influences how we’re treated around the world, the ripple effects of the Affirmative Action reversal could be swift and dramatic, adding more fuel to our enemies’ fires, all over the globe.

Everybody should be on alert. Not that you need more reasons for Black anxiety. There is a way out, though: Hood Esoterics.

Their Pathology Doesn't have to Slow Us Down.

Hood Esoterics, coined by Stephanie Pierre, teaches that Black people can Liberate ourselves through an application of Spiritual Technology that tangibly delivers the results we desire, as radical as we need them to be.

Every Black person who dreams of Liberation must remember that Ayiti (aka Haiti) was the first free Black nation on earth after the global siege on Black lives: the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (TAST). The TAST kicked off the Maafa, the Black Holocaust, which continues today.

What Ayiti is known for even more than poverty, devastation and the Revolution of 1804, is their application of indigenous esoteric knowledge–best known as Haitian Vodoun. Most scholars of the Haitian Revolution agree that Vodoun played a key role in the country’s Liberation. Practitioners of Vodoun say it’s the very reason they were able to cast off their chains and send the French back to France.

Esoterics & Liberation

Can Spirituality truly Liberate us today? Well, history shows it has done so over and over again, on however small a scale. Even Christianity, a spiritual system which Black people are leaving in droves, was responsible for helping many captives free themselves from slavery. James Cone wrote:

Although Black people have historically been the most religious group in the US, the percentage of Black folks who identify as having no religion is rising rapidly, compared to other races. Alternative approaches to spirituality, like Hood Esoterics, are essential for helping Black people to access our spiritual powers at the highest levels so that we can take hold of our futures, shaping the realities our hearts desire.

With the full awareness and application of our heightened spiritual ability, we can produce outcomes far greater than what Toussaint L’Ouverture, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, Thomas Sankara and others were able to achieve.

Hood Esoterics provides a framework for approaching Black Spirituality with an openness to teachings from across cosmologies. It also empowers us to ask the hard spiritual questions that most pastors, imams and others won’t answer. It’s these uncommon explorations that heighten our ability to drive transformative results independent of doctrine, but in alignment with Divinity.
