Christ or Christmas in Greek - One of Our Root Languages

In Eastern Christianity [Orthodox], the most widely used “Christogram” is a four-letter abbreviation, ΙϹΧϹ — a traditional abbreviation of the Greek words for "Jesus Christ" (i.e., the first and last letters of each of the words ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ — written "ΙΗϹΟΥϹ ΧΡΙϹΤΟϹ" with the lunate sigma [Σ], "Ϲ", common in medieval Greek).

Those of you who were in a sorority or fraternity that really studied the Greek letters would be familiar with this, as I was.

I = Iota
H = Theta
Σ = Sigma
O = Omicron
Y = Upsilon
Σ = Sigma

X = Chi
P = Rho
I = Iota
Σ = Sigma
T = Tau

I became aware many years ago of the “XMAS” actually being a Greek derivation of Christmas, the “X” being the short abbreviation of “Christos”. It is seen often in Greek icons as “XC” = Chi Sigma, or “Christos”.

Such an abbreviation was never meant to offend, in my opinion. It is important to note that our language developed due to the various Biblical translations—Coelbren to Aramaic to Greek to Latin and finally, the King’s English [James]. Greek is our root language which devolved from Coelbren and Aramaic as did the very ancient Old Welsh.

In my study of my family history, I had to become very familiar with Old Welsh and had already been hammered with Greek, due to being a “Frat Rat”.

Zeke Emanuel You Are An Educated Idiot

Zeke, I've gotta clue for ya, ya numb-skull. Yes, I will keep my doctor and it will be at a concierge medical practice, for which I will pay top dollar, cash. Ya know why Zeke? Because I worked my ASS off, put myself through school, have a resume and made a helluva lotta money. Ya know why? Because I live in a country that allowed me to do that. I do not need your godforsaken Obamacare or any of your other stupid programs. I did it my way and there is not one SOB born in this country that could not have done that so screw you and that idiot your brother worked for. Don't need him, you or any of your socialist freaks. You're all losers and will soon just be a bad memory, as it should be! Hell will welcome y'all with open arms!

YOU Are a Racist Oprah!

I am incensed when 20-somethings or even 30-somethings or 40-somethings in Hollywood or elsewhere comment on RACISM. If you are NOT intimately familiar with Brown vs. Education or Rosa Parks; if you think the Edmund Pettus Bridge is in Poughkeepsie; if you have no clue who James Earl Ray might be; you simply are NOT qualified to speak to racism! If you draw a blank when you hear the names, Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale, Huey Newton, do you even have a clue? YOU, charlatan, have no historical perspective and cannot feel what racism truly was, you are not qualified to speak to racism. Point of fact, do you know the difference in racist, ethno-centric and prejudiced? Then STFU! Am I far off on this Gregory Graham? I lived it, I felt it, I saw it and I know it when I see it. If the above is not relevant to you, just STFU! I am also intimately familiar with the time that Booker T. Washington school was condemned and we were INTEGRATED, actually ahead of schedule due to the condemnation. I recall vividly that Lonnie Howze got ahead of the game and created an all-black little league baseball team. It's name was Seminole Steam. I played against them. Did you? He was waaaaaay ahead of his time. I recall too the Hell on Earth that Realtor, Bob Sullivan, actually had the audacity to sell houses to BLACK FOLK!!! GOD HELP US ALL!!! Another gentleman ahead of his time. I recall to when my Dad told me over the phone that someone he saw in church asked him, a deacon since 1951, of the First Baptist Church, to tell me Hello. I asked, who might that be? He said Johnnie Mae Fox! I said, Dad, ya mean ya actually allowed black folks to worship with the white folk? He was madder than hell at me but, by God, it needed to be said. Unless you lived it, had historical perspective, I will give you no quarter, especially if you are from Hollywood or have a stupid women's network on TV. You just aren't S*^T in my mind. How far off am I Gregory Graham?
