DEATH OF THE DOCTRINE OF "WHITE SUPREMACY"
DEATH OF "WHITE SUPREMACY"
It is well to start at the basics and to build up from there, so that later learning may be built solidly upon
Its demonstrable infrastructure.
This truth applies in geometry, in arithmetic, in music, in science, in athletics, in art, in agriculture, in astronomy, in navigation, in engineering and in architecture, at least; may not it apply as well in other disciplines, or conventions?
I speak now of such "disciplines and conventions" as philosophy, literature, history, religion, law, and education, especially! These tend to begin away from their basics.
These posit their beginnings in Europe, in Asia, or in an European abstraction called, a catchall the Middle East" or something similar.
Pointedly, directly, these purported European-imputed "disciplines and conventions" do not begin in Africa, according to Western scholarship.
Yet, it was in Africa where clearly the most renown Greek or Roman proponents of these basic subjects of civilization learned, studied, & copied, for decades, for centuries.
Plato, of 4th century BC Greece, who taught Aristotle, his student, had no problem properly attributing to Africa all that he learned in Egypt (Kemet) from his decades of study and observation, there, in his books classic "Timeaus" and "The Laws", including its mathematics, which some modern Westerners have yet attributed to him, as his invention!
Why would these modern European folks lie? Why would they fabricate, steal, besmirch black Africans' long-standing, well-documented legacy? Why ask why, given the ten centuries-long African slave trade, to the Americas by Europeans, which followed the Arabs' 8th century slave trade, to Asia, which followed the repeated "destruction of black civilization," as recounted so clearly in Dr. Chancellor Williams great transformative history?
They lied to justify their inhumane enslavement and transshipment of these descendants of those early Africans who thousands of years previously had brought knowledge, and understanding to all mankind !
None of this can be known without studying, listening, analyzing, the truth, the facts, in so many books ! That is simply because lying is so remunerative that popular media has no incentive to tell the truth! It risks the loss of revenue and of patrons, in so doing, and disdain!
The white supremacist edifice is falling down, finally, having been dependent upon ignorance of the bulk of blacks, and silence of the few whites who knew better, for its sustentation as accurate and true!
So, now, that "great Babylonian lie" is doomed! That popular, media-driven, scandalous facade of false and reprehensible claims of white-skinned supremacy, that was for so long popularized in the United States of America, from Thomas Jefferson's 1785 book, "Notes on the State of Virginia; Query XIV," onward, and in other countries who profited by brainwashing of blacks' and capitalizing upon their pitiable loss self-knowledge. It is finished!
Jesus described those Pharisaical miscreants who bypass the basics, the door, as did these, as "thieves and robbers," who do not come in by the door, but who have climbed over the fence, or by some sneaky serpentine other means subtlely!http://biblehub.com/john/10-1.htm
Praise God for understanding at last and for our unfolding freedom!
