STOP FEARING MATH AND READING!
STOP FEARING MATH AND READING, BLACK FOLKS!
Mathematics were invented by Africans. So say Plato, Aristotle, and other Greeks, to whom latter day Western Europeans and Americans presume to attribute this divine science, as its creators, despite contradicting exemplars in thousand-year old carved stone, rock edifices from Kemet to Nubia.
Africans also invented writing. They actually possessed three kinds : hieroglyphics, hieratic and demotic.
To them are due mankind's earliest holy, medical, scientific, military, poetic, aphoristic, mathematical, technical, and literary writings that are etched indelibly in stone, or that are calligraphied on their native papyrus.
Yet, to judge from the aversive conduct of most African Americans, the ones who fear mathematics like the plague, and who scorn, or abhor reading and writing, e.g., "to hide something from a black man put it in a book," one would be very doubtful of African descent due to such fright.
To flee one's natural heritage is not only unnatural, but flight is shameful, unnecessary, wasteful, and pitiful.
If African Americans are ever to be free, as they constantly claim that they want to be, then, they must not only free themselves of such spooky phobias over mathematics, reading, writings; but black folks must rally to mathematics, reading, writing, as progeny; they must converge upon them, learn of them, to love them all again as long-lost beloved kindred!
