DGT 2012 Review
While some thought we wouldn't make it past the Winter Solstice, our 19th year proved to be a year of enlightenment. And as we embark on our 20th anniversary year of DGT, I acknowledge we would not be here were it not for the works of our Ancestorz, our living historianz, and you, the reader!

Whether you forwarded an eBlast or retweeted a post, your continued interest and support has kept us relevant in this face-paced social-media frenzy, helping us remain relevant in the discussion of Pan-Afrikan-centered history, spirituality, and other topics pertaining to the Afrikan experience. For that, I am truly humbled and grateful!

2012 saw the continuation of our focus on historicially-based content. With the transition of the father of research on the Boule', Steve Cokely, we added a piece to our now 5-part Boule' Series where we dug into the bio's of some of our most ill-advised celebrated men: WEB DuBois, R.R. Moton, Alain Locke, Carter G. Woodson, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

This year also saw the release of complimentary works historian, Anthony Browder has done on Washington, DC, with the release of two articles, 'Urban Unrest - Remnants of Slavery in New York' and our 13th segment in our 'Versus Series', 'Kemet vs. New York & DC'.

'Versus Series' also introduced two additional pieces. One exposed the origin of the ill-associated symbol used by the so-called jew, 'Sephedet vs. Star of David'. The other, 'Her Em Akhet vs. the Sphinx' was a continuation of the 'Riddle of Her Em Akhet' video article released on DGTv Season 2.

'Boom Shots' is a landmark series we released that focuses on both those known and unknown historical giants as well as bio backgroundz of those behind the chaotic confusion Afrikan people struggle to resolve in the quest to reclaim our identity.

We were also blessed with a piece by Kwasi Imhotep who wrote a respectfully profound rebuttal to Dr. Francess Cress-Welsing's theory of white recessive genetics.

September marked the inaugural launch of our 'R.E.A.D. (Restore Education of the Afrikan Diaspora) campaign'. In an an effort to increase literacy and cultural awareness among Afrikan people, at the end of each summer we'll promote R.E.A.D. by reading an article every day for the month of September; "30 Days, 30 Articles".

Take a moment and relive some of the highlights of 2012…

2) NEW TO DGT

4) 2013 PREVIEW

Who Killed MLK? a video compilation Every January, we start hearing Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr's infamous, "I Have A Dream" speech, but if you research this still mysterious murder—and even deeper, the dayz that led up to his assassination—you'll find it really was (and continues to be) a nightmare! This nightmare became even more deceitful when white media labeled James Earl Ray the lone assassin. While most accepted, there are those that knew there was another side of the story that wasn't been heard.	Urban Unrest - Remnants of Slavery in New York His-story has done a great job in havin' people think slavery in the United States was below the Mason Dixie line. They're doin' an even better one in tryin' to conceal its role in the cover-up of Afrikan free labor in both the building and maintenance of one of the worldz most popular city, New York. Yes, Lower Manhattan is sacred ground, but not for what happened on September 11, 2001. Wall Street would not be without the forced free labor, which included the starvation and death of tenz-if not hundredz-of-thousandz of Afrikanz brought here against their will.	The 3 Muskateerz: the FDA, Monsanto, & Soy: the Assault on the Human Diet The FDA and Monsanto have been on a mission that seemz to echo the manifestation of former President Jimmy Carter's Global 2000 Project—a program that called for the elimination of 2 billion people. How? Simply by controlling something everyone does… eat! The creation and distribution of rBGH and soy are acts of war on humanity with family being it's major casualty! Learn the effects and the connection to the rise in homosexuality.
Sephedet vs. Star of David If History is a lie agreed upon, the story of the Sephedet should be it's Poster child! If you're familiar with our Versus Series and/or my writingz, you're well aware of our claimz—shared by many historianz whose shoulderz I stand on—that our ancient Afrikan historical presence has been preserved (although hidden) around the world!	Boom Shots | Rap Sheets Afrikan people are in dire straits as we strive to reclaim our cultural identity. With that said, there have been countless s/hero's who championed the call of Afrikan independence. In this series, we reflect on a few. Concurrently, as with any conflicting cause, there are many in opposition of this reclamation—we note them here as well. Get familiar of those who fight for us as well as those against us!	A Review of Dr. Francess Cress-Welsing's Theory of Racism Just to be clear, I have tremendous respect for Dr.. Welsing, her dedication, her unrelenting defense of people of Afrikan descent, and her courage in speaking out against what she calls racism/white supremacy. However, I hold the opinion that her theory does not adequately explain the causal elements of the destruction of Afrikans by our enemies. Therefore, I offer this analysis in the spirit of advancing the knowledge in this regard. Perhaps this effort will spur us more directly towards an effective solution to the continuing atrocities imposed upon us by our oppressors.
Her Em Akhet vs the Sphinx There standz a monument in the Nile Valley—which on one hand is respected as one of the seven wonderz of the world, while on the other, is continually disrespected because of the name and fabled history attached to it—that has the ability to answer several controversial questionz on the origin of wo/man. Although erroneously called the Sphinx, we've discovered this riddle has now been solved.	A Vic(k)tim of White Collar Crime: The Continued Debate on Deficiency or Difference Ever notice of all those who've been attacked for animal cruelty like Michael Vick and fashion modelz wearing animal skin, no one, including PETA, has aggressively gone after the horse-racing industrial complex! Why? Probably because it is a mega-billion operation!	The Boule' Pt.5: Internal Reflectionz: The Insides - A People Lost, Still in Search of it's Identity Our "insides" is in reference to our story being lost to slavery: the memories that once served as our spiritual insides. Focusing on the educated elite who are memberz of BGLOs, I overstand very few actually know of the Boule' for although it is not a secret society, it is a society that holdz secrets. And it is these secrets, that have gone a time without scrutiny, that serve as a large part to our inability to even attempt to retrieve our "insides".
	Kemet vs. New York & DC When we look at todayz society, much hasn't changed compared to ancient tymz. With the grand exception of the so-called "rulerz" being of the pale persuasion, for one who's aware of the history of ancient civilizationz (that were by no mistake Afrikan), you can still see remnants today in cities across the world… mainly in their structures.

R.E.A.D.: Restore Education of the Afrikan Diaspora In an effort to increase literacy and cultural awareness among Afrikan people, at the end of each summer DGT (Da Ghetto Tymz magazine) will promote R.E.A.D.: Restore Education of the Afrikan Diaspora by reading an article every day for the month of September; "30 Days, 30 Articles". A concept conceived by DaGhettoTymz.com's founder, M'Bwebe Ishangi, each day during September will feature an article written by Ishangi with topics that will use Drs. Neely Fuller, Jr. and Francess Cress-Welsing's 10 Areas of People Activity (Economics, Education, Entertainment, Health, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex, & War) model with an intent focus on Diasporic Afrikan History and relationships with the world.
