EARTH'S RENEWAL
EARTH RENEWS ITSELF NATURALLY
Natural disasters are more than storms or earthquakes. Such disasters can also be man-made.
Of the earth's epic human natural disasters, no greater one appears in the annals of history. than that "greater" African American "Maafa" experience, involving centuries of African expropriation, exploitation, exfoliation, castigation, abnegation, incarceration, recrimination, spite.
By "greater African American" is meant the aggregate of African descendants living now in the islands of the Caribbean and upon both continents of North, (Central) South America. All such are people now "African Americans" who were Africans once transshipped here.
The term is large enough to include those Africans who emigrated here voluntarily seeking a better way of life, than that then offered in Africa.
That later Africans now seek to follow their earlier African kin to the Americas, speaks admirably well of the blessed recovery from the epic human natural disasters of "greater African Americans," that preceded all 20th century African emigrants.
The fact is, just as the earth has survived many meteorological natural disasters such as storms, snow, ice, floods, fires, droughts, volcanoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, tectonics, etc, it has survived the human equivalent.
Earth renews itself and its people as it will, epoch to epoch, naturally.
