BLACK COMMUNITY SALT LICKS
"Black community" as used @ 2019 parlance is more of a concept , more of an idea, than it is a place, anywhere lived in, or habituated by, any "black" people, predominantly.
Starting with "black", African tribes had no consciousness of the term, as applied to themselves. They conceived of themselves as being members of thousands of tribes with distinct languages, histories, cultures, land unique to the tribes.
The cognomen "black" was an apt , practical characterization of them. Inside their efficient dark skins was deposited a "rouge," a dark red pigment, melanin. "Black" was a perfected color image imposed by a long succession of foreign rulers, conquerors, explorers, officials, enslavers, traders, writers, priests, dating back to 525 BC, with the Assyrians, who overran Egypt after the 25th dynasty. This precipitated Egypt's fall from tens of thousands of years of world dominance and glory that led to hundreds of years of mass migration from the Nile Valley Civilizations to the broader continent that later was to become known as "Africa," a north Roman province, on the Mediterranean.
Though Egypt (Kemet) had fallen the magnitude of its brilliance has radiated for centuries since . For example, Alexander of Macedonia, went to the Oracle of Delphi in 332 BC in Kilwa, the western Egyptian desert, for coronation, validation and justification as ruler of Egypt.
Later Greeks and Romans based their new religion, "Christianity" on the detritus of ancient Egyptians' creation myths, parables, proverbs and deposited these transcriptions into the Bible, as transmitted to us.
Centuries later black Africans were
transshipped abroad by Muslims, from the 8th century, later joined by Western Europeans in the 15th century, until 1860, in North and South America and islands. That roughly 2,000 year period is focal. From tribal back to global black people can become again with an accurate historical knowledge and understanding of spiritual morality.
History is the salt lick, a mineral lick, of mankind. Knowledge of true history is as stabilizing as any vital nutrient to our bodies, whether personal, local, national. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_lick
Many African Americans think their history began in North America in slavery. They don't know it began in Africa in glory, except superficially.
But with but a little bit of historical mineral-salt licks would fortify their souls, bodies, families, community, with renewed energy to regenerate!
