still learning
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge....Study to show thyself approved unto God..."
These simple instructions were abandoned by the blacks long before the European or the Arab/Muslim slave traders invaded Africa; long before the term "Africa" was conceived or applied; long before Africans began internally trading themselves and lost their knowledge of God/self, mathematical/astronomical/cosmological mastery.
Consequently, study is the key. Ignorance, fear, and superstitions, have been our racial undoing. Perhaps it was foreordained in our stars; perhaps that explains why ancient blacks left pyramids, monuments, temples, statues, papyri, holy books, fractions, geometry, arts and sciences, etc., behind for their blind progeny to see!
No need to stupidly ask any more, "What must I do to be saved? What can we do to help?" Study! Study! Study! Teach! Teach! Teach! Create.Create.Create. Perfect!
