Because it is so much easier, dismissively, to criticize than it is to read, to scrutinize, to synthesize, such culture icons as Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, and other resources--the so-called, "pillars of Western civilization," --far too many of our now-literate black people have been led astray by many quacks, charlatans, who, like themselves, have done neither, either! If it is true, as some usually say, that such resources are plagiarized writings, from, the ever-abundant intellectual property of, ancient Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, Africa, then, these cultural misappropriations have, to that same extent, also, been at least minimally preserved for our restorative benefit. For us to benefit successfully, however, from such rich, ancient wisdom, knowledge, know-how, we must know it. We can know it only by reading, by synthesizing, scrutinizing!
Don't criticize, scrutinize, synthesize, actualize your reparations!
