The sumerians were black africans as well. My evidence is their nicknames. They called themselves the black headed people. Now the sumerians were clean shaven like the Egyptian Priests so for them to be called black headed people they had to be black africans that came from the SOUTH and built Sumeria

When we have a forum like this we should try to come up with solutions not just state situations that we all know exist. We can't fall into the trap of pointing the finger, judging or making accusations against each other. God (by whatever name you choose to call him) and negativity do not occupy the same space. We CAN NOT turn into something WE DESPISE! We need to contribute what we can even if it's just a suggestion or idea. I want to hear solutions so we can help each other!

Lets not look so hard at our differences although it is what makes us unique. Lets try to work together so we can advance spiritually and mentally. Love is the Key.

[blackadam06]

Afrikans/Blacks TRIED that during times of antiquity & look at the condition we're in today as a result of actually trying to work with people who have HISTORICALLY, ALWAYS hated us & have REPEATEDLY attacked us down through the wheel of time..

Sorry, that tired ideology has been run on & used to BRUTALIZE us for FAR TOO LONG..

[TheeLogician]

I can understand your frustration with this issue, but Truth is Love and Love does not discriminate. You will be tested and it's hard. I'm no saint but I know that more hate only fuels the fire! Besides whats your solution?? I would love to hear it. Have you seen the Black State of the Union with Tavis Smiley? They are coming up with some GREAT ideas.

[blackadam06]

Truth is identifying the FACTS & the TRUTH of the matter is this: if U have a people, who've done the SAME THING to everyone they've EVER encountered on EVERY continent, in EVERY time zone, down the wheels of time, that TELLS U they CANNOT change!!

They're coded that way!!

I'm not going to go down thru the box of rattlers, vipers & the other poisinous snakes, just to find the garden snake! How many damn times do we have to get bitten before we GET IT?!!

[blackadam06]

The movie "Changing Lanes" starring Samuel L. Jackson & Ben Affleck is a PERFECT example of how white folks are by nature. Every now & then, Affleck's character would get a little convicted over the stuff he'd done to samuel jackson's character, and jackson's character kept trying to do "the right thing", but BOTH were only doing what came "natural" to them.

But that's just like us, we'll keep trying to do right by them, DESPITE their treatment of us..

[edupbeat]

Damn, bro that was a hell of a way 2 put it!! I love it!!

[TheeLogician]

It's not that I don't recognize that there has been a LONG history of violence, people have been targeted and victimized across the planet ... DON'T GET IT TWISTED! I'm not disputing the facts. All I'm sayin is where do WE go from here? You know what I think.. I would like to honestly hear some good suggestions on how we can really change things for the better. I would like to see my kids & future grandkids live in a better world.

I don't believe it is a secret that there are PLENTY of unjust

[TheeLogician]

Where would we be if MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., MALCOM X, JACKIE ROBINSON, BOBBY SEALS, FREDRICK DOUGLAS and yes even BORACK OBAMA didn't go down thru the box of rattlers, vipers & other poisonous snakes? All these GREAT MEN OFFERED SOLLUTIONS and created dialog.

[blackadam06]

Probably STILL living in the HIGH civilizations..

Our problem has ALWAYS been that we've been hospitable to people who've ALWAYS meant us harm to begin with..

ALL who've invaded Afrika thru the centuries have done more harm than good! They ALL declared war on Afrikan culture, civilization, spirituality ways of life. They began to bastardize Afrika. And thru colonialization, barbarism/slavery, confuse & create a schizophrenia within its people & descendants about their own historiography.

I don't think he goes far enough in this video; that's why I left the info below... Whites can be sooo riduclous!

[bluecafe22]

Gould (1981) discovered upon recalculating skull data from the 1800s, used to argue that blacks had smaller brains, found that blacks on average actually had larger skulls than whites. The samples for black skulls included more females than were included in the white sample. After correcting for this error it was shown that the black sample had larger skulls (and presumably, larger brains) than did whites.

[edupbeat]

Did u know that black infants motor skills r more inclined than any other race? And when I say "blacks" I mean melanin dominate people.

[bluecafe22]

Skull and Brain size are proportional to other body proportions (Brace, 1999; Gould 198). Tall people can be expected to have on average larger skulls and brains than do shorter people. It is a general rule of thumb in Anthropology that those from Tropical regions (such as blacks) have on average longer bodily proportions (Allen's Rule) than those from colder areas, and can thus also be expected to have proportionally larger brains.

[bluecafe22]

The biggest portions of the brain are devoted to sensory and motor functions, people with especially acute senses or strong motor skills should have bigger brains than others (Allen, 2002). It has been shown that blacks in general possess stronger motor/sensory skills and perception than do whites (Super, 1976; Wilson 1978; DiNucci, 1975). This would also mean they have larger brains.

Ohh damn, I just scrolled down LOL, peace bluecafe very informative! Actually, my dumb ass just found this out a month ago!

[bluecafe22]

Tobias (1970) compared 7 racial and national groups in a study on brain size, in which he reported that the brain size of American blacks was larger than any white group, (which included American, English and French whites) except those from the Swedish sub sample (who had the largest brains of any of the groups measured).
