AFRICA'S HUMANITY
AFRICA'S GREATEST GIFT IS HUMANITY
Vastly more valuable than Africa's "stolen" jewels, relics, artifacts, statuary, are its stolen people, who produced these stolen treasures. And even more valuable than either one was Africa's unique "stolen legacy" of ideas and ideals. First was the recognition of the existence of God, in nature, in themselves; from this divine anchor, foundation,convivial ideal, descended all knowledge, wisdom, order, beauty, disciplines, civilizations.
In truth, all of earth's people of any kind are descendants of Africans, since African DNA is more diverse than the rest of mankind's combined.These inconvenient truths brought forth disharmony among certain non-African leaders, scholars, who coveted it. Their dialectic masks a primordial unity of oneness, of wholeness, of precessional boldness, in these observations.
