Dr. Ivan Van Sertima - Africans In Science Pt.1

[sanucues]

The dead and the living are not the same ....mentally we are speaking that is it is the job of the civilized black man to teach the uncivilized ...be cool and school the fools if "you know the ledge '

[amtrakcop]

Thebrewskibaby is a fucking pussy. Talk that shit out in the open. I'm here anytime you want to get together and man up. Fuck you and the rest of the crackers. I just might follow your dirty ass kids to school and fuck with them

[robinlue2008]

@amtrakcop LOL

[diyonisha]

@BREWSKILBABY

You sound like a complete CUNT!

[TheBrewskiBaby]

I wish black people would build a pyramid in Detroit because the rest of it is starting to look like Africa.

[MZDECATL]

BACK MASTER TEACHER....LOVE UR VOiCE & UR TEACHiNGZ

[Alara0625]

African slaves were kept from learning how to read for 4 centuries. Most of these corporations were established while Africans were still slaving for no pay. The declaration of Independence was established while Africans were still in bondage. The schools newly freed slaves went to were there to make them underachievers and the worst of all they seperated us from our homeland and families. Why is everyone acting so surprised at how black people are today?

[queenfee]

@Alara0625 truth

[intellect85]

im a true hip hop fan but with all the knowledge i get from Diop, Van Sertima etc i feel that any so-called conscience rapper who refers to his people as nigga is a straight up fuckin dumb ass!!! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart!

[Alara0625]

@intellect85

I feel you 100% but there is a flip side to that coin. They took the word Naga and through mispronunciations it turned into something else. See it went from Naga (Divine serpent people) to Negus (Ethiopian title for kings) to Negar (European corruption of Negus) to negro (spanish corruption of negar) to niger (latin corruption of negro) to nigger (american corruption of niger) the word itself stems from words that mean "divine and king"

[malfini1]

@Alara0625 How could a Spanish word have been derived from latin when Spanish evlved from Latin?

[hannityforpres]

Dat's right, chilluns, we was dee E-jipshuns! We built da pyramids and shit. We da superior race. But mammy, den why we livin in a tin shack an gittin food stamps to use for crack an you be out hoein all day? Cause dem muhfukin white devils came to africa and took our special powers away and messed with our minds. Now git yo asses back to beds.

[djkbrown2001]

'Why they don't go to West Africa beats me? Probably because all there is, is Nothing '

You idiot ,Have you heard of the ancient kingdom of Ghana, Mali and Songhai empires ?

Probably not. Please dont expose your ignorance.

[nocturnaltongue]

white history is black history, if black history was a dictionary we'd begin the definition man man starting with A for african the B for black then the rest of the letters would come after us and the europeans would arrive wound Yt's and z.

[brotherminister1930]

Rest in Peace you mighty and great genius.

[mrfreaknasssty]

Straight, you're losing me. I have absolutely No idea what you're talking about. The Egyptians who are there now is not the same people as the ones who were there 10,000 years ago, and thats the Ancient Egyptians that i am referring too. Just like the majority of the Americans(whites) today are not the same as the majority of the Americans(native americans) of 500 years ago. #2 If other people described the Egyptians as being Black. Black means Black, doesn't matter the language.

[mrfreaknasssty]

Straight & gilt, Did you not pay attention to this video? Obviously you didn't, and obviously you didn't watch part 2-6. Van Sertima is a master teacher and scholar. May he rest in peace. Go watch his videos and read his books. He proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the great civilizations before Greece & the science of the Moors was done by Black people. There's pictures of Blacks on the walls, temples, & tombs of Ancient Egypt. They have everything in common with African Americans(Blacks)

[StraightTalk2]

When some African Americans found their way in Egypt about 20 years ago, they started giving each other "black studies" lectures to each other in English in some hotel .

The problems arose when they started saying to the Egyptians that they (the African Americans ) had built the Pyramids and that the Egyptians were not ... Egyptians., raising their voices, in English, to explain what they mean . To be fair the curious sincere Egyptians had said "WTF are you?"

[StraightTalk2]

The fashionable AfroAmerican words now are Nubians, Kemites, Canaanites, Kushites and Ethiopians. They might tempt the locals because Somalia competes with Haiti as the most miserable place on earth, Sudan is where the Blacks are being slaughtered and Ethiopia though the people there are distinctly non-Negroid and built amazing churches are having a hard time. So I expect the Afro buzz words to change soon. Why they don't go to West Africa beats me? Probably because all there is, is Nothing

[FBHOME1]

@StraightTalk2 I see you on all the African history pages the interesting thing is you try to add negative comments on the page.if you think this is all lies and b.S. why do you waste your time?

[0alstonw0]

yes anywhere there has been european intervention things are miserable! The ancient greeks never stated anything of the kind! See Plato, Diodorus, Herodotus, and many others

[StraightTalk2]

Basically the whole of Africa with the exception of a little wedge touching Israel and the Mediterranean Sea ie Egypt , and a little narrow border in parts of the NortWest shoreline. was, and still is, CrapLand.

Van Sertima was a "researcher" ie he read books, in English, written by Europeans, underlined wherever he found the words "dark" and "black" and put himself there. If he had read the phrase "tall, dark and handsome" in Jane Austin he would have underlined it.

found

[0alstonw0]

I would read white researchers who have said the same thing. Richard Poe "Black Spark White Fire." as well as Liard Scanton and again the ancient Greeks! Your an idiot

[BlackmatterX]

Nubians are popular as hell. Why don't you crackers spend time figuring out were they hell you originated from? You are always in other people's business. Where did crackers come from? And don't say Central Asian or the Caucaus Mountain, because those humans are not WHITE.

[lmarr07]

Please homeboy, dont use racist terms to defend black people. I share the same anger as you, but we gotta be better thean those white racist bigots. If we stoop to their level, then no one will bother to search or acknowledge the truth.

[StraightTalk2]

North Africans (or Moors) and Egyptians have nothing, nothing at all, to do with West Africans or their descendants ie African Americans in genes, language or culture. People who are not 100% Caucasian are not "Black" although that seems to be the thinking in the US. There are Chinese, Native Americans, Indians, Egyptians, Moros (Amazigh) etc.

Sub-Saharan Africa had overwhelmingly no great civilisations, and still hasn't.

Whatever African Americans use has been developed by Europeans

[FBHOME1]

half the shit that was developed in America was the idea of a black. that's just plain black history.

[FBHOME1]

we define who we are not you.you wish your nonsense was true pan Africa unite! all around the world.

[lmarr07]

Well you can talk all you want, but we got the SCIENTIFIC LOGICAL PROOF...you dont, nor does any other scholar....soo....

[sonofall1]

ur blind jus bcoz ppl dnt look da same doesnt mean the are diff. in ethiopia n sudan ppl look diff bt all are native to dat part, lets jus say this, they are nothing bt african ppl, and they are NOT light skinned, and def were NEVER caucasion, nothin great is original 2 europe only racism

[diyonisha]

@sonofall1

VERY TRUE

i dont understand why people always try to discredit the black scholars and scientists.

[giltedged]

True to this day we have never heard of African civilisation. The word "African" like "Asian" is a misnomer. If someone can say that Indians, Chinese and Iranians are Asians one surely doesn't mean that they are all "yellow" or Mongoloid

Similrly the Ancient Egyptians, the Moors etc are Africans because they all live/lived in the territory called Africa but there is nothing in common between the Moors, the Egyptians and West Africans/ African Americans

[FBHOME1]

what they had in common lost person is that they had black skin curly or wooley hair. it good you are here seeking the truth from Dr Sertima. listen to him and you will find your way.

[giltedged]

He was irked that not one had mentioned African scientists. So he created some. He called the Egyptians "Blacks" or "Africans" and changed the word Africa which the people who created it (the Berbers) and the Romans who used it later, referred only to the Berber (non Negro) territories, to Afrika with a "k" and later said that the Olmecs were African .

Black Americans are descended from West African slaves and have nothing at all to do with either Egyptians, Native Americans or the Moors.

[lmarr07]

Did you even read his books, listen to his lectures? He has proof for everything he says. Scientific proof that cant be denied. Why do people hate the fact that Blacks have a wonderful history to be proud of?

[Alara0625]

@lmarr07

Because black people are first and anytime you are first people tend to resent you. Hip hop started in New York now everybody says New York rap is garbage. Most mothers and fathers tend to have the last child as their favorite and the first usually doesn't get the treatment the baby gets because hey the parents are more mature for the baby. The Arabs say honor the first even though others do better

[barlog20]

RIP Ivan Van Sertima.Thanks for being a great teacher.

[barlog20]

I think is sad dad most of us know who 50 cents,rick ross and  jay-z is but very fewof us know who Ivan Van Sertima is.

[fury2962]

@barlog20 I agree absolutely,we make heroes out of Kobe Bryant and Lebron James singers,actors,and dancers yet to those who truly care and fought and struggle for the liberation struggle of colored people against white supremacy are completely ignored.

[bthunder92]

@barlog20 Speak da Truth The system is made to dumb us down so we don't search for the higher self in us all

[peasah2005]

I am very sadden to hear of the death of Baba Ivan van Sertima.

Baba van Sertima is a one of the most well known scholars and antropologists in our history and he taught so much about Africans who bulit their society and contributed in many fields of science, arts, languages and architecture.

May his soul rest in peace, Baba Ivan van Sertima, 1935-2009.

[Junior1luv]

5:55 "a great many of our people have no idea where we come from and where we

going ".

[Junior1luv]

R.I.P Mr.Van Sertima

[WorldWideTVShow]

Allow us to honor the life of our Elder Dr. Ivan Van Sertima who became an ancestor on May 25th, 2009 as we were convening our Black Power Conference.

[eddierob]

ashe

[goldenthoth]

thank GOD for that man; when i 1st read "they came before columbus" it was a watershed moment for me. this old man told me years ago that, if i would research i would discovered that the african have been here in this part of the world for a very long time. years later 1 day i was watching cspan and this book was mention; i ordered it, read it, and i have been going since!

[giltedged]

Goldentoth. Glad that it built up your morale. But it is all nonsense of course. There is nothing to connect the Olmec culture with Africa. Nothing.

[goldenthoth]

ok then; prove it. i shall 2 ur counter-points.

[oromofyaha]

RIP.....my supreme genius teacher

[goldenthoth]

what?! when did he died?

[RapBaller201]

Rest in Peace Dr. Ivan van Sertima

[keithexum]

"We have come to reclaim the house of history. We are dedicated to the revision of the role of the African in the world's great civilizations, the contribution of Africa to the achievement of man in the arts and sciences. We shall emphasize what Africa has given to the world, not what it has lost."

--Ivan Van Sertima

[decipherx1]

RIP MY GENUIS BROTHER!

[FBHOME1]

is that mr. Diop at 6.01 ?

[thirteendayz]

A god in human flesh. The man has undoubtedly contributed so much to our true history and knowledge that high schools need to grant the students text books with his work on our history.

[neverdothatagain50]

i respect Dr. Sertima and his intentions even though i dont agree with everything he says but overall hes a very inlligent man and i hope to education my self more on African history culture and languages :) oh and im Black too

[zerohero35]

what about it dont you agree with?

[lionhorse]

Noo you do that to your sorry mother who gave birth your sorry azz

[ancestralblue]

Truth has long been sacrificed to an agenda.

 The writers of history have been the ones who complied with the agenda. It wasn't just about Africa, it was about anything that would divert power from the government forms that wish to rule the planet. Who are they? A distorted form of the "brotherhood of the snake." If you read Manly P. Hall, he himself speaks of how they have lost their way. They have been subject to a great corruption. Time is now up on that.

[0alstonw0]

The great thing about his work concerning the travel of African's to the America's have been the fairly recent discovery of cocain in some of the mummies!

[0alstonw0]

I can't post any messages

[Steadno]

1:20

[groundpounder35]

How old is this conference?

[lastword13]

I think it was conducted in the late 1970's early 1980's... 81'...82'.

[adikiny]

That's right. The greatest holocaust in the history of the world is that which was and is still being done to Africa and Africans; a holocaust that abducted the Negro and carried him/away to become a beast of burden used for the enrichment of imperialists. A holocaust that was at times also RELIGIOUS and which was and is still aimed at destroying then replacing NEGRO Ancestral Spiritual Beliefs with foreign religions. Religions that occupy African soil through their churches, temples etc.

[edupbeat]

Aint that the truth! Well said, very well said!!!

[Trav5280]

Excellent

[LH2OLH2O]

Knowledge is true power....this brother truly represents that....

[PrinceNamor777]

This is very informative, one of the best videos for history on the internet. Keep up the work of helping people understand the history of Earth. Peace!

[BigDreams222288]

very informative

[gabman1st]

originalpeople99. I don't think so, Allah is not lord of the world. Stop sleeping mate

[Looknottouchpa]

That is not the point of this video or forum.

[realityearth]

Going to let my seeds watch this...

[originalpeople99]

Allah is Lord of All Worlds

-PEACE-

[gpc56]

Fucc allah cuz, thats them arabs religion. Islam is not a blacc man's religion cause islam didnt even come into africa until 7AD when the arabs were enslaving us. They gave alotta fricans a choice either become slaves or convert to islam and not be a slave and even then alot were still slaves. Look up the arab slave trade of africa, smh

[pharaohlatino360]

Don't speak on what you don't know about, just makes you look ignorant. Mainstream Islam is just as ignorant as you. Islam is a way of life and can also be used as an APPLIED SCIENCE (greater than Masonic teachings) but I wouldn't expect a frozen destroypower like you to know any better. Islam is not praying towards the Kabba 5 times a day or Muhammad's Recitation or interpretation of Universal Law. Read for you start hate-mongering and spewing ignorance.

[gpc56]

Fool I kno exactly wat islam is, you must be a moor huh smh. And yes I kno islam taught the european masons all they kno, proof of this is in the treaty of morocco. You not saying shit knew I aint already kno fucc boy, islam aint nuttin but pure bullshit. That shit came into africa from the punkass arabs enslaving tha africans. So like I said fucc a islam and all it stands for, islam aint shit but stolen teachings from the egyptians any fuccin way. Look up african history bitch boy

[CardiDark151]

West m8v3n Cuhz... just wanted to commend you and all that you speak...Much love and respect to you Cuhz... Learn more and teach another, you definately on the right tracc

[gpc56]

Man fucc islam, the more I think about that shit the more it pisses me off. Your founder is a child rapist and power hungry mongul. No better then hitler, all yall moors can kiss my ass and anyone else who follows islam. Shit down and actually learn history and see what ISLAM has caused as far as wars and slavery in history. Arabs and converted africans siccen me, the converted africans are nothing more then baccstabbers just like the punk ass moors are!!! Fucc islam fool

[shayan121]

astaghforallah. may the lord have mercy on u

[kerbal45]

To user gpc56,This is beyond Allah and Islam. It's about your hatred towards whatever topic u are choosing to hate. You need to learn how to Love one another...especially the ones u hate most. You will have to face your own hatred when the time comes and it will not feel good at all. The hate u are feeling now will stunt your growth intellectually, spiritually, and beyond this physical life.

[dexterriley]

thanks for posting. we often hear the phrase mankind is evolving, i dont believe that is the case, we are de-volving. the Dr. is quite correct, the skin colour is irrellevant , it truly is a state of mind. easily 5 stars and favourited.

[gumbs84]

I had to view these videos in college, and they should be played in schools, especially in predominantly black schools, very informative

[Deee36]

I concour.

[kindu2006]

[takeitfromyavideo]

Very very good. Information, I've read the book before. Check it out
