2,000 YEARS

OUR 2,000 YEARS MENTAL DISCONNECT The disconnect, our disconnect, is on multiple tracks . The disconnect, our disconnect goes much farther back: Than the United States of America, than the Caribbean islands, than Central and South America--that had black-enslaved, later "colored"-underpaid: labor, genius, daring; inventiveness; bravery; sex-made. The disconnect goes much farther back than the Islamic and the European slave trade of Africans from Africa. The disconnect connect goes far back than Emperor Constantine and Constantinople ; farther back than Rome and Caesar Augustus. How far back does the disconnect go? How far back does our spiritual umbilical intellectual disconnect go back? It goes back back back! Way back! Way back to before there was any disconnect between righteousness and blackness ; before there was a disconnect between assiduity and African ingenuity; way back before the fall of Ancient Kemet, Kush, and Ta-Seti to Assyria, Persia, Greece. We're talking back. Way back. Back before waves of massive Nile Valley dispersions and migrations began, to live again freely, peacefully in the rest of Africa, far away from hordes of relentless foreign invaders! These who had slaughtered our priests and priestesses; our wise men and women; our merchants, sailors, nobles, fisherman, farmers, technical people, navy and military. They who had robbed our iconic temples and tombs. They stole treasures or plagiarized all mathematics, medical, architectural trophies that they did not tote home to London Paris Berlin Russia Washington, Rome, where they yet remain. But worse than all of these terrorist abuses and usurpations was our collective mental and spiritual disconnect from our ancestors roots, legacy and love! ; Our total loss of self-knowledge, self-love, esteem. This latter loss has lasted well over two thousand years, two thousand seasons, in Africa and in Diaspora! The loss can be regained by knowledge of self and love.
