Mission
To provide a source
of influence, knowledge, protection and strength to those that
aspire to be or choose to further their growth as a Black Dominant
or submissive. Thereby strengthening the quality of our Nubian
BDSM community and nurturing our D/s relationships.
Our History Our Story
We
have this month, the shortest of the year, to celebrate the
oldest history of the world. If we chose a month for the celebration
of Black History, would we have chosen a winter month. We did
not choose this as a people. We did not mutually gravitate to
this month for our celebration. Since we have it we use it or
we should use it.
We
are a people with an American experience and an African heritage.
There are those of us that believe that we have nothing to do
with Africa and Africans. They believe that our history starts
and ends at the shores of the United States. Because we have
no direct connection with our cultural and historical past we
lack the knowledge of social and cultural bonding, mores, rituals
and stories. However, we have developed our own identity through
our American experience. We have evolved and retained certain
characteristics of our cultural and historical heritage. Some
of them are group chants, group dance, group recitation, and
rhythm and xenophilia (attraction for things foreign such as
culture, manners or people). We have adapted to the dominant
culture of America and adopted portions of that culture. My
focus here will reflect our heritage.
Of
all of the ethnic groups in America only the Black group has
been vocal in its rejection of its heritage. A lot has changed
in our community over the last 30 years. Many of us are comfortable
with expressions of cultural pride and traditional dress. Knowledge
of our historical heritage has been seriously lacking. During
the Civil Rights years of the 60's, there was a politicization
of many black people and wide spread cultural awareness. The
70's brought about political stagnation. Part of this was due
to a split in the Black community. Some of us wanted to keep
the Civil Rights movement American and not pursue any knowledge
not directly related to those civil rights. Others of us chose
to continue our reading and self education about us. They sought
to learn about the international relationships in the world
and our place in it. It was during the 70's that many of the
authors writing about Black History were published with astounding
academic achievements with little or no publicity. Chiekh Anta
Diop's work African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality
was translated to English and published in the States. Dr Ben
Jochonan had work published that shed light on the mystery of
our historical and religious history; African Origin of Major
Western Religions, The Black Man of the Nile and his Family
to name two. One book The Destruction of Black Civilization
has been simply fabulous and probably belongs on every Black
family coffee tabl..
We
often spend the time to educate ourselves about topics that
interests us like D/s. We should take that same time to learn
about our heritage and history our society has ignored. A little
bit at a time will develop into a genuine interest and contribute
to the overall knowledge we as a people have about ourselves.
If
you do not know your history and rely on another people to tell
you your history, you will only learn what they want you to
know. Our scholars have taught us that we are part of a civilization
that has been around for 17,000 years. The religion that was
active in the lives of these ancient peoples, our ancestors,
is 10,000 years old.
·
The Hamakas (Sphinx) has been estimated at 8,000 years old.
Our history says its age has been lost in the memory of time.
· Black people crossed the Atlantic and had a positive
and significant impact on the culture of the indigenous people
at three different times in history 1300 BC, 1000 AD and 800
AD. (confirmed by oral historians on both shores). The oldest
known evidence of iron production has been found South African
carbon dated 13,000 BC.
·
Researchers at the U of Hawaii and in a separate independent
research in West Germany have determined The Mitochondria DNA,
which is only passed through the female, allows science to trace
every living human being on earth to a single Black female between
238-250,00 years ago.
The"
father" of history Herodotos went to Africa to learn history.
The "father" of medicine Hippocrates went to Africa
to learn medicine The "father" of Mathematics Pythagorus
went to Africa to learn Math. Racism was never a part of our
history. We should not let the knowledge of our ancestors and
our history be used by others as we remain silent. We have many
reasons to be proud. History is the foundation for knowledge
about ourselves. Try to use this month Black History Month as
a time to start (and finish) a book any book on Black history.
SPIRITUALITY
AND NUBIAN D/s
When
asked to write this article, I was somewhat ambivalent. I asked
my self, "Haven't you ticked off enough people yet?"
I guess my coeditor does not think so.
If you
have ever read anything on me, you will know that I have a strong
spiritual base. I am anchored in the being of my Father. I am
not a preacher, but I will, and do teach. That is my intent
here, although I will probably leave you with more questions
than answers.
My concept
of D/s is the inherent order of the universe. Prevalent is the
male dominated union. I have been pointed to exceptions, such
as the praying mantis and the black widow spider, but my reply
is, "Take notice she only kills her mate AFTER he has delivered
the goods." (Tongue-in-cheek. Entomologists leave me alone!!)
The traditional
Black family structure has the Man as the head, counseled by
the elders. All through the Bible, we maintained this family
structure up until the time of the invasion of the "Europeans."
When brought to this country, we were not permitted to head
our families, in many cases we were not even allowed to acknowledge
our families. At the core of a lot of our cultural deficiency
is the confusion of the male as to his identity and station.
We see constantly in our community's women trying to maintain
a family structure. I must say at this point, some have done
marvelous jobs being single parents, and parent to their spouse
as well as their children. However, when you go against the
universal flow, you are doomed to ultimate failure. In all things
put God first. There are nearly a dozen specific Biblical references
to submission and subjection. * This does not include the subtle
references that clearly indicate the husband as head of the
wife.
D/s is
the "righting of the wrong," the vehicle through which
we can put our families back in order. Don't get me wrong, I
know there are a lot of subs drawn to this lifestyle simply
because it is an acceptable way to continue a history of abuse,
and "doms" who are more than willing to prey upon
them. Nevertheless, the opportunity is here to put our community
back together.

Must
I Hate Yours, in order to Love Mine?
In recent
weeks, I have heard some very disturbing comments about the
purpose of the Nubian Nation organization and chat room. It
seems that most firmly believe us to be racist and anti-white.
This situation appears to offend more black people than non-blacks.
Care and concern for ones own people is not acceptable, if those
people happen to be black. What I find interesting is that ours
is the only culture where this takes place.
For many
years, I directed a multiethnic, youth leadership academy. My
kids were ages 13 to 18 and of Mexican, Cambodian and African
decent. What struck me the most, were the parents of these children
and their commitment to the preservation of their language and
cultures. With the exception, of course, of the African American
parents. Somehow we have been lead to believe that handling
our own business is shameful and racist.
The Cambodians
are largely Buddhist and speak Khmer. They worship at their
temples and tend to keep to themselves. They come from a history
of distrust of authority and exploitation. However, these qualities
have also made them an economic force to be reckoned with. While
they openly relate to blacks, I have often been asked what's
wrong with us as a people. Why can't we get our own collective
act together? My reply is a sad, I don't know.
Mexicans
and other Latinos tend not to be as cohesive. However, they
strictly adhere to their culture and language. They have for
all practical purposes, bought out, occupied and taken over
Southern California. There is no intent here to imply that they
all get along and love one another. Even so, they do have the
bond of a common religion, Catholicism, and traditions that
keep them strong in their identity.
Having
lived and worked among these diverse peoples, they have earned
a great deal of respect and admiration from me. Why? Because
they have an unspoken commitment to improve the quality of life
for their people. Do I see this as racist behavior? Heck no!
This brings
me to the children of the African American families that I work
with. This is where it becomes sad and disheartening. Our people
are scattered all over the cultural map, and have developed
a "get in where you fit in" attitude without loyalty
to anyone or anything. There is no common culture, faith, language
or traditions that define us.
Last year,
I was asked to be a Madrina (godmother), for one of my Mexican
student's Quincenera. A Quincenera is a coming out party for
Mexican girls, held on their 15th birthday. It signals her transition
into womanhood and traditionally makes her available for marriage.
This is a very big deal for these families. Thousands of dollars
are spent for the ceremony (held in a catholic church), the
gown, reception, food and cake. It is very much like a wedding
without a groom. The birthday girl's family is assisted with
the cost by the many Madrinas, and Patrinas (god fathers). My
job was to supply elaborate knives for the five tier cake. An
entire year is spent planning and saving for this major event
in a Mexican girl's life. The fact that they spoke Spanish throughout
the ceremony did not make me feel unwelcome. This was their
celebration, and I felt honored to be included.
She also
invited all of the other girl's and boy's from my organization.
One African American girl was asked to be one of her attendants.
Her duties were much like those of a brides maid. She was thrilled
to have been asked. However, during the reception I noted sadness
in her eyes and asked her what the trouble was. She answered
"Why can't our people have traditions like this for us?"
The answer that came to mind deepened my own frustration. My
response was cautiously laid out. " Because, anytime we
band together for a common cause or purpose to educate, uplift,
or celebrate African American people, we are seen as racist.
Not only among whites, but even by other blacks.
This is
the very same cancer that eats into the core of everything we
do in regard to our people. I look at this room as a family.
With all the neighbors (non blacks) invited over for an evening.
As much as we love the company, there are times when "family"
business needs to be discussed and handled. If we do not include
the neighbors and friends, are we being against them? Do your
real time neighbors feel slighted when you ask for privacy when
dealing with your own personal business?
What I
find compelling is the fact that during what few ethnic celebrations
we observe as a people, no one seems to consider them an insult
except whites. When we congregate for any purpose and do not
specifically include whites, our very own people are the ones
to resist participation. This is extremely troubling. Of all
the other ethnic groups on the planet, why are we the only ones
afraid and ashamed?
Living
side by side with Cambodian's, Vietnamese, Salvadorian, Mexicans,
Sudanese, Nigerians, and many other groups, I have learned something
very important. I have learned how to love and support my own,
without the artificial guilt that other's would impose on me.
I don't have to hate yours, in order to love mine. No one and
I do mean no one, short of God Almighty himself, will ever stop
me from doing what I feel in my heart.
Open letter to the Dom of MsBlkjagg,
It seems
the Nubian Nation News owes you an apology. We inadvertently
used an interview format developed by you Sir, without giving
you proper credit. As it is our policy to give credit for original
works wherever possible, we would like to take this opportunity
to acknowledge your contribution.
We would
like to make it known here that there was no intent to plagiarize
your creation. The interview was originally intended for inclusion
in the Feb. edition of the now defunct Black Dom Monthly. Thus
the use of the format utilized by that publication.
However,
since We as the Nubian Kings Council feel it improper to approach
you through your sub, we request that you contact us personally
so that we can express our sincere regrets. Please feel free
to utilize the guest editorial feature of the NNN to respond,
as we would like to make amends publicly for the offense committed
in public.
Your
Brothers in dominance,
Nubian Kings |
NUBIAN NATION
INTERVIEW
1.
When did you first discover your Dominant/submissive nature?
Well,
I have a been a Dom for about 7 years. I became interested in
the world of B/D and S/M and D/s when I saw my first bondage
picture. I became more interested in these art forms B/D,S/M
and D/s when I read the books The Story Of O and The Works of
the Marquis De Sade. These books opened a whole new side of
my personality. After reading those book I become aware of my
for a lack of a better word lust for physical and mental domination
of women.
2.
What is it about BDSM that attracts you the most?
The
most attractive things about BDSM is the mental, physical and
freedom that comes with allowing the darker side of your personality
to come out.
3.
What qualities do you look for in a Dom/sub? Why?
What
do I look for in a sub? Well, beauty, style, loyalty, respect
for herself and for me, a willingness to explore the deepest
darkest fantasies that she or I can imagine.
4.
How do you think your dominance/submission expresses itself
in your daily life?
Well,
my dominance is expressed in my daily life by my leadership
and my controlling nature.
5.
What has attracted you to the Nubian Kings Community?
The
attraction to the Nubian Kings Community was that of unity.
I love being part of something where black men can join together
in sprit, honor and respect. I enjoy being part of a group that
works to protect, educate and bring together our people in this
lifestyle.
6.
In your opinion, what influence has the Internet had on the
BDSM community?
The
Internet has made it possible for many people to come together.
It also has allowed people to expressed ideas, fantasies and
tips to many people at once. The Internet has also made it possible
for people to be harm by wannabes Doms and subs.
7.
What would you personally like to see happen, in terms of improving
our online BDSM community as a whole?
I would
like to see people act more like adults instead of children.
I would like to see less drama and more unity.
8.
Would you consider pursuing a serious relationship started online?
Why/why not?
Yes,
I would pursue a relationship that started online. The reason
being that I feel that the Internet is one of many places where
two people can start a relationship.
9.
What is your life like outside the BDSM community?
Well,
my life outside of BDSM is one of spiritual journeys. I am working
on my relationship with the Lord it means the world to me. My
church home is something of great importance to me. I would
my life is a life of deep passion, hidden emotions, strong desire
to explore the limits of my sexual and Dominate desire. My life
is full of conflict. My life is full of logic that is why I
seek a sub that is full of emotion to balance me out. Some of
my non BDSM interest are reading, cooking, shopping, music,
photography, nude art and quiet times at home.
10.
Why did you consent to this interview?
I wanted
to share some of my thoughts with my fellow Brothers and sisters
of Dominance.
Here is a
poem that I love to read over and over. I would like to share
it with the beautiful Queens of the Nubian Nation.
The
Joy of Sex
By
Claire Harris
He Was a
Darker Rameses
An older Tutankhamen
He was cool
Crazee
Polished ebony
Still even with him
It was a much overrated activity
He had flair His hands Lilting
His tongue
Intelligent
On curves and creases
No need of manuals
Or comfort
But she had honed
Her expertise in groups
Had read and listened to travelers reports
So she dreamt
When he moaned
Squeezed a little too hard
Began his dark thrust
And press she
Flooded with images
Lifted in ravished
Approbation
Of cannonballs of liquid fire. . .
It wasn't
bad
Join us each Thursday
and Sunday Evening for stimulating, intelligent Afrocentric
BDSM discussion.

Night
It was
night...As she sat haunched back on her heels the firelight
glistened and made her nipple rings shine like diamonds. They
were made of the heaviest silver available. For she deserved
only the best. She was special and he loved his slave very much.
Etched into the rings was his intials....{CD}. Showing the world
she belonged to HIM and how much he loved her. She lived only
to serve him and be his everything. She has devoted her life
to him and he loved it. He sat across the fire from her, and
gave her that look she knew so well. This let her know he wanted
her....She arises to her knees and slowly crawls her was across
the room towards HIM. Her heart beats faster as she nears HIM.
As he always does this to her.
Every
time she sees him it is as if it is her first. She loves him
so deeply her heart cries for him. As she nears the edge of
his furs she stops and bows to the floor. Ass in the air and
head touching the cold ground. She begs her Master to let her
sit on his furs at his feet. He chuckles and tells her to come...come
sit upon his lap. She thanks HIM and slowly sits upon his knee.
He tells her to make him feel good and she gladly takes upon
this task.
She
knows how much he loves the feel of her. She straddles him and
slowly grinds her pussy into his leg. This begins to turn her
on and she starts to feel excitement in her. The more she gyrates
the wetter she gets. The wetter she gets the better He loves
it. This excites him as well and he softly kisses her. Then
he forces his tongue into her mouth and she gently bites it...He
cups her breast in his hand and pulls on her ring there. This
makes her ache with pleasure and he knows how to do things to
her to drive her wild. She has been his since birth and the
only Lord she has ever known. She was born to be his and he
will love her till eternity. For theirs is a special bond and
no one mortal could ever come between or break this.........................
As he
lay on top of her, his breathing begins to labor. She senses
his desire. She smiles at him and slowly pokes her tongue from
her mouth just a bit..enough for him to see. Then begins to
seductively wet her lips. Slowly, invitingly. This stirs something
deep within him. And she feels his lust rise. Slowly her legs
part and she touches herself. Then taking her finger she offers
it to her love. Letting him kiss and taste her pride and passion.
She
takes his hand and places it upon her. Letting him feel her
wetness. Letting him offer her to kiss and taste his fingers.
This excites them both to uncontrollable heights and these lovers
cannot wait any longer. He kisses her wet cherry lips almost
feverishly, not being able to get enough of them. She takes
her hand and places it upon his pride feeling the massive love
tool and the heat radiating from it. She guides it to her passion
and places it amongst the love there. He almost cums with excitement.
But restrains from this as he knows the better prize is within.
All of her love is waiting for him.
He almost
timidly enters her...Oh God the feelings..making his head swim
with excitement. She is PURE love, and it is ALL his. He plunges
deeper inside her and this almost takes his breath away. She
is having trouble breathing and thinks her heart might stop
with pure pleasure. She begins to ride his every thrust..slowly,
slowly at first and then faster. With every beat of their hearts
they ride a million waves of pleasure. How long can this go
on? For a minute, a lifetime? However long this may be, it is
the most beautiful thing in the world...two lovers sharing their
souls and want for each other.
He rides
her with the skill of an equestrian...he amount his fine mare..she
succumbing to his every lead. They ride this love journey for
what seems like an eternity...then the passions and lust of
all their beings cannot be controlled any longer....They give
in to the call of nature and let their emotions and passions
go..riding this wave of release and falling into themselves.
They both shiver with pleasure and calmly rest into each others
arms...too weak to move, they lay in each others embrace and
fall deeply into a rest so calm as a baby should have. He dreaming
of her and she of him. Loving each other and dreaming of the
next encounter with passion.................

Master Void
On
suggested behavior for submissives
and
slaves during hosted discussions.
When entering a discussion
room, a submissive is expected to comport themselves in a certain
manner. What sort of behavior should she (nb: I use she and
her in this article, but these rules apply to male submissives
as well. I just tend to focus on male Doms/female subs, so that
is how I write) display during a discussion? The obvious answer
is that she should behave in a way that either honors her Master/Dominant
or in a way that would be pleasing to one. Alas, this is good
in theory, but how exactly does a submissive put this method
of behavior into action?
Void has suggested the
following as a guideline for how a submissive or a slave should
behave in formal discussions. Think of them as a template for
modeling behavior, not a set of rules. Each was suggested to
complement the rules set forth by the Nubian Kings for the room.
1) Whenever possible,
arrive early. The room will be opened at least 15 minutes before
the start of the discussion. Normally the discussion begins
at 9 PM, Eastern. Therefore, a submissive should plan on arriving
before then when possible. The main reason for this is to prevent
disruption of the discussion, and to allow the submissive/slave
the opportunity to experience the event from the beginning.
2) If one must arrive
late to a discussion, then do so with as little fanfare as possible.
Treat this as you would a discussion in your town hall. Enter,
take your seat, and listen. Take a few moments to ascertain
where the discussion is and then contribute when you feel comfortable.
Assume that the discussion begins exactly at 9 p.m. and runs
until after 10:30 p.m., eastern. One would be wise to assume
that the discussion is in progress anytime after 9 p.m., until
this is known for sure.
3) After the discussion
has begun, when someone arrives, do not greet them in the room.
If it is someone you absolutely must send greetings to, do it
in private. That is what Instant Messages are for. Send them
a private greeting, so that the pace of the discussion is not
interrupted, and that all may benefit.
4) If you have something
to say, ask for permission, and then wait your turn. If you
feel that you have been overlooked, it is OK, if done politely,
to remind the host that you have a question pending. The room
does get busy and things are occasionally overlooked.
