BLACK BELT TV's Interview with STEVE MUHAMMAD & DON WILLIAMS

[musicnewsweekly]

This is TRUE. Black people created Martial Arts, why is that so hard for people to believe? Black history is world history, the oriental wants credit for African legacy. Please look up Ashra Kwesi here on you tube.

[mrmasterlee1]

If one calls ganging up and throwing spears, and rocks at dinosaurs martial arts, I might buy it. But, Everyone knows Buddha, ( an Indian ) and most indians are a light brown shade developed the animals styles of martial arts in china, Chinese are mostly a light shade. Kenpo, TaeKwondo, Shotokan, Jujutsu are originated in the ORIENT. Give credit where credit is due!

[EunusRex]

Black folks always trying to steal the show, no matter they look and sound utterly ridiculous.

[kg7530mh]

When was this video taken out of interest?

[EunusRex]

@kg7530mh Around 1970, I assume. Given the mindset of these two gentlemen.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

Sorry for the typos.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

Egypt for example is world reknown for it's wealth, cult ore and status in the ancient world, and yet, people start to gag, shift uncomfortably, and get angry when you point out that it's on the AFRICAN continent. Oh no! They weren't Africans! They're Eygptians! Now we can all rest easy knowing the Black Man wasn't brilliant enough to have a cutter that advanced...open your minds people..

[sanucues]

@TheSubwaysurfer you are very misinformed and quite uneducated please go back tp school.my university studies in Anthropolgy and history prove without a doubt that the DNA and genetics of the ancient Egyptians were of Black African descent the dr. richard leaky,luis leaky and Louis Leaky anlong with the great historain DR IVAN VAN SERTIMA works for over 60 years works and many books in Harvard,Oxford and Rtugers colleges have established this please go back to school.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

@sanucues er... I think you need to re read my comment again... if you do, you may see that Im NOT in disagreement with you! I was attempting to be humorous! I was POINTING to the fact that The Egyptians were Africans. How could they NOT be??? they're on the African Continent. My tone of the original response, if you read it again was one of playful sarcasm.

[TheSubwaysurfer]

Is it really inconceivable that Africans made this up?. Think for a minute just how old African culture is. We are literally talking about ancient people. Were not talking about the homie on the block wearing the doo rag, and yet that's the image that people refuse to look past for fear that it may upset their hero worship of all things Asian

[TheSubwaysurfer]

It's funny.. I'm not saying whether I believe this or not, but just think itsFUNNY how some people won't even stop toCONSIDER if the theory they are promoting is true. And if they are truly honest, it's because of the underlying racist assumption that black people have contributed nothing of value to society, God forbid they created something as sacred as martial arts!!

[tonydelacruz45]

Anyways, this is much the same as the argument that Jesus was black, I don't think he was white or black, probably brown, but no, not Mexican, that's silly. And if the martial arts came from India, how do we know if it came from Black Indians? Or the Aryans? We dont know, is it possible? Yes anything is possible. The issue is, this book is what some call Afrocentrism, the opposite of Euro-centrism, & race should not matter so much people need to stop all of this bickering and quit being racist.

[tonydelacruz45]

I respect both of these men for their skills, however, I personally believe that much of the information of their book is false. I think Capoeria may be one of the only martial arts created by black people. Currently the Gracies claim Jiu Jitsu came from India, however, it did come from Japan, what they mean is that many of the techniques may have come from Japan. Warfare may have also originated in Africa, Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations, but how do we know it was from black egyptians

[tonydelacruz45]

Some of this may be real, but its just a theory until proven, some believe the cradle of civilization was in Africa, while many others believe it was in present day Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates. The book claims that Hannibal was black, even though Hannibal was from Northern Africa, not sub-Saharan Africa. The book also claims that many Shaolin monks were from Africa. While most of this is interesting, there is no proof. I am Hispanic, but I cant claim many things were made by Hispanics

[pama4242]

Proof please

[blsed1]

Martial arts began in Akibulan (Africa). Even Mas Oyama (Japanese) and Ed Parker(Caucasian/Pacific Islander-Hawaiian) admitted to that. Any civilization will have some kind of military(martial)/combat skill- Africa being the cradle of civilization, would also have to be the cradle of martial skill...common sense...it has nothing to do with being racial its just fact-how come people have to get so angry when truth is being told???

[pama4242]

They can't even prove there was a bodhiharma, the martial arts true history is sketchy at best ,we know china was the source. Please !

[mjsmith62]

Wher can i get this book?

[Jank143]

LOL blacks always trying to throw themselves into the mix.

[truth2masses]

bruce lee embarked to find the origins or martial arts. he didn't go to korea,chins or japan. he went to india! bruce once saw steve (then sanders) at a karate tournament and said, "steve sanders has the fastest hands i've ever seen!"

[fightingthebs]

lmfao.. yeah india.. not africa..god ..lmfao! At the risk of offending turnips everywhere, you have the IQ of a Turnip seed...lmfao

[truth2masses]

in india there were and are blacks who migratd from africa called the kushites! bodhiharma was a black kushite.

[fightingthebs]

ah huh, ok..lmao.. and look at all the vast amount of herbal remedies that the blacks in africa have that the old martial arts of india are based on. Look Turnip seed.. every culture/group of people has a martial system. You're a toad... you don't even rate Troll-dom. You are obviously lacking in any real ability of rational thought, and the mental aptitude of a 10 year old...

[truth2masses]

devil, if you discredit and hate blacks so much, why do you blog this vid? fat demon, keep fighting the pounds!

[truth2masses]

if i have the mental aptitude of a 10 year old, i'm 10 years ahead of you!

[ksmuhammad1]

Yes, all but your people.

[truth2masses]

go to hell, racist bastard! stay out of blackmen's business!

[fightingthebs]

truth, I believe calling yourself a man is a misnomer

[truth2masses]

..and you're the authority on manhood, faggot?

[truth2masses]

black india,fighting!

[fightingthebs]

LOL what a marooon

[truth2masses]

more on you than me,devil!

[fightingthebs]

ok, sanders and williams have gone off the deep end.

[pama4242]

Yea right, LOL LOL:)

[truth2masses]

it is written in the bushido code "to be a good samurai you must have black blood!" that's in the bushido code not a black book,racist severnkenpo!

[92badhatch]

Newsflash! To all who come across (truth2masses) He presents himself as a black man. He is a fraud! His a 22 year old white bitch living a posh lifestyle in chicago. Don't let this bitch fool you with his racist rederick

[truth2masses]

a chinese kunfu instructor once told a friend of mine (a black person) that the martial arts was from the black man and that the chinese was keeping the seat warm in his absence!

[severnkenpo]

Interesting. I do NOT think Luther King fought for this. He wanted inclusion, not segregation. Instead, we now have many blacks choosing to seperate themselves in the following ways: BLACK KARATE FEDERATION BLACK BEAUTY PADGETTE BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TV BLACK CONGRESSIONAL CAUKAS BLACK MAGAZINES, JET, EBONY, ETC BLACK MUSIC AWARDS BLACK COLLEGE FRATERNITIES etc etc etc

[truth2masses]

severn, these black orgs were started because the white ones barred us! i trip on white people feeling "threatened" when black people effectively organize!

[fightingthebs]

hey "truth2masses...."these black orgs were started because the white ones barred us!" Parker didn't allow you in Kenpo??!!

[truth2masses]

wow! thanx for the info,fighting! parker was racist?

[fightingthebs]

Thruth2masses.....wow truth you really are stupid aren't you. yeah didn't you know parker hated all non-white people.. hated asians and Polynesians, too.. ever time he looked into the mirror he was sickened by what he saw. He wanted to be white so he bleached his skin.. oh wait.. that was michael..lol You're an idiot

[truth2masses]

the fucking idiot is you, fucker! ed parker then was a proud nationalist,not a racist.ironically he was half white! just so he helped yellow bruce lee get exposure to the world! parker was a nationalist!

[fightingthebs]

NO shit you dumb fuck..lmao.. Parker was Samoan. Which was my point with Kenpo.. who the hell did he discriminate against in Kenpo so that there had to be a BKF???!!! Man, when standing in the line of creation I guess you forgot to stand in the line to get a functioning brain.

[truth2masses]

dumb honky, he was hawiian and white! stupid fucker go play with your xbox! before you shoot off you mouth make sure your brain is loaded you dumb motherfucker! we need to separate from you devils!

[truth2masses]

fightithelbs is a 400 pound pedophile! he coud even throw a crescent kick!

[fightingthebs]

again truth2masses, another mature , rational logical statement...lol since you're a bit slow, that called sarcasm

[truth2masses]

sarcasm or satire, you don't phase me therefore,you will be blocked and ignored!

[truth2masses]

stupid fat fucker, you weren't being sarcastic, you were being racist to the core! do some knee bends and stay out of black men's business!

[fightingthebs]

truth, it must hurt you deeply when you have to face yourself in the mirror every morning lol

[truth2masses]

no,god blessed with a rich cinnamon brown complexion that some folks i know spend billions of dollars a year in suntan lotion and tanning beds,mind you, risking skin cancer to get! it must be hard looking at vomit colored skin every morning!(lol)

[truth2masses]

fat tub of shit, when was the last time you saw the tops of your shoes? 1949?

[mrstracklife]

why is it that everytime a black man comes up with something a white man must strip that black man of that history ...any biologist will tell you one that everything comes and originated from AFRICA but to that the white man is a scientific hiccup;a mutation...which means that the white man was made. Made is anything that is grafted from original...we were created and made you!it is unfair and also ignorant to think in that manner at all first learn about your own race and what they have "made"

[truth2masses]

allah hu akbar,mrstrack. tell it!

[pama4242]

OMG, blacks invented martial arts, THAT IS LIE, SHOW ME ANYWHERE IT SAYS THAT BESIDES THIER BLACK BOOK, LIARS

[truth2masses]

the black kushite from india taught the chinese monks empty handed combat to fight the mongols who often came from the mountains and slaughtered them! bodhidharma was his name. he was a black kushite from india! THIS IS THE TRUTH!

[lilmischeif07]

@pama4242 You are showing your ignorance. Black people are the fathers and mothers of it all. If you've ever read ANYTHING besides the lies, or at least omissions you were given in American History you would not have called it a lie. Ever wondered why you start with a white belt and end with a black?

[severnkenpo]

MORE REVISIONIST HISTORY AND AFRO-CENTRISM. Trying to creat artificial ethnic pride by revising history. Ive researched this as much as the next guy. THERE IS NO TRUTH TO THIS BOOK and if it were true is still NOT relevant to who created it. Martial arts evolved by various cultures, it did not originate with any one.

[severnkenpo]

Oh, and did he mention he was a black man? I lost count. Why is that relevant? Claiming that martial arts were invented by blacks? Get real. All of this is like kwanza, to 'invent' something to give artificial ethnic pride. I have NO use for a club that would call itself BLACK this or that, such as BLACK KARATE FEDERATION. Is that supposed to make me feel welcome? Hey guys, its about teamwork, segregation ended 50 yrs ago. Forget this book & look for positivity, like mr parker's teachings.

[Midyan91]

actually it was invented by blacks way back in egypt(tama re) and was passed to all other cultures. just like almost everything was.

[TrevorX76]

He'll always be Steve Sanders to me. Forget all the Muhammad bullshit. Btw, I think Steve might be gay. That's not a slight.  It's his business. Just an observation.

[anthonysmith73]

how can I buy this book???

[sheenway]

Please post this as commented 4 days ago! So Great To See These Two Black Men Still putting the message out there, as they did in 1971! The history of these two men is so unknown!Thank You BKF and YOUTUBE!
