[2manynegativewaves]

lols at all you rascist muppets, its been decades since "whites" ruled over you yet you still cant get your sh!t together and oh look, now its not the white man running Africa its the yellow man....crack on cozying up to red china and see where that gets you all......and LMFAO at all you proud "Africans" living in the USA.....yeah,that will stick it to whitey wont it......maybe if your best and brightest didnt run off to europe on the first fishing boat Africa would have a chance.

[thehararean]

i cant believe whites came and stole all the books from timbktu

[vixxy02]

You're right imposed foreign religions have caused so much strife in Africa, and this has been the single most devastating factor behind our segregation,and trust for outsiders rather than ourselves.This new generation are waking up to the fact that begging bowls and foreign meddling are getting us no where,and the only way to move forward is to take a step backward and settle scores with our so called enemies next door,unite and march forward! Maybe I'm naive in my thinking,maybe not!

PEACE!

[dabcore]

you are at the becking call of France despite being 5 times larger than that small european country. I dont recall posting the previous comment on this video. I remember only posting this on THE REAL EGYPT video on youtube. I dont know who carried my comment over to this video. But it does not matter. African Americans have their own issues to deal with and they are substantial. But there are great thinkers here. They have different perspectives that that can really be helpful to continental A

[vixxy02]

@dabcore Please you guys are taking Africa/Africans NOWHERE! We are and will achieve our greatness on our own,without outside interference, but we can only do this if Africa as a whole unites! We have to love and accept ourselves before accepting anybody else, as we have been too naive in the past into thinking outsiders are our friends, when they've ALL had a hidden agenda! Liberia was founded by freed American slaves, only for them to then lord it over the natives,a legacy till date!

[dabcore]

@vixxy02 I am not saying that continental Africans will not be at the forefront of their own reawakening. That is impossible, but the sad reality is that most continental Africans really do discount their own history. Most are completely ignorant of the true history of Egypt and Kush. Many Continental Africans follow either ISLAM OR CHRISTIANITY, while condemning their own indigeonous spritual sytems as primitive or evil. They either copy Arabs or Western christianity. The reality is that

[dabcore]

@vixxy02 despite all that they copy from arabs or caucasians, their economies and political systems are left in shambles. We\ are the most backward people at this juncture in history. Despite the enormous natural resources and human resources we beg to come to America or Europe. We cant even manufacture the weapons we use to war with each other. The only country with ant kind of decent infrastructure is south Africa. You guys in mali and francophone africa dont even have your own currency

[dabcore]

@vixxy02 Have you ever read The Metu Neter by Ra Un Nefer Amen. Have you ever read any books by Dr. Muata Ashby? or any of the other authors that i have mentioned?. You probably have not. I am Nigerian American. Both of my parents were lived there all of their lives. They only came to visit me on occasion. They never bothered to teach me my own indigenous language. This is actually very common now over there from what I hear. They are heading into cultural genocide. We Africans are not living

[germanyinthehouse]

@dabcore Thanks bro for telling the turth. And by the way you are African don't even use the colonial name Nigerian because that isn't us. We must come together as one, no more tribal talk or killings because this helps the white governments to create more problems. Link with all Africans and organize, plan, plot, excute. Whites like it when we fight with each other over unity. They know if we drop everything we know and just unite and get rid of differences we will win in all walks of life.

[dabcore]

@vixxy02 up to our potential. We are like uncaged lions running in a yard. We are capable of so much more. Continental Africans will decide their own destiny without outside interference that is for sure, but dont be so prideful that you wont listen to other perspectives that might aid you. By the way, i have met many Malians and i must say they are very intelligent educated and cultured people. I dated a daughter of a Malian diplomat years ago in college. She was absolutely beautiful. I did not

[dabcore]

@vixxy02  i did not intend in any way to be condescending. There are definitely many things that Africans should not accept from black Americans, like culture of dysfunctional gender relations, boastful single mothers, neglectful fathers, the culture of narcissistic rap, and other pathological tendencies. But do not ignore the gems in the haystack. There are many gems in black america

[vixxy02]

@dabcore You are so right, and I agree with everything you've said! The thing is everybody thinks they know what's best for Africa and Africans,without asking us what we want or need,and right now before our wants can be addressed we need to be unified. Why is it that countries like S.A,S.Leon,Gambia,Kenya,Ethiop­ia are ALL in the hands of non Indigenous Africans,which they accept,yet hate their next door neighbour?Because like you said we are too ready to accept outsiders,and diss our own!

[germanyinthehouse]

@vixxy02 Not only that, but Africans are every where on the globe. If we want we can be powerful as we please. We are over 2 billion strong, we are bigger in numbers than China. We have 1 billion in Africa and we have another 1billio plus spread throught the world. Yes time for Africans from every where and all walks of life to fight like hell for what is ours. We are not slaves we are the first people and time is up for our real enemys. Spread the word and no Arabs are not African.

[germanyinthehouse]

@dabcore You are a serious racist and you don't speak for Africans that live in America. The reason Africans in America (Made up name by gov) have these problems is because of Slavery and breeding of Africans like animals. Whites/Arabs/Jews are the main reason it is like this. African Americans went through hell in back and we lost 100 million of our countrymen from West Africa on passage to the US. Keep your lying lips closed WE AS AFRICANS ARE ONE AND MORE THAN YOU, WE WILL WIN AND FIGHT AS 1!

[xemola]

Yeah thats 100% true.

They always try to flip a positive to a negative when descibing Africans. Like the concept of swinging in trees. Kids are swingin on trees in every country in the world. But yet they blame us for studying nature and learning from nature, the stars and life in general.

Ill take a tree swinger over a ZOMBIE anyday!

[xemola]

What about the Dogons? They also were there Nieghbors. They were studing the stars and have a story of creation that dates back even further. The Zulus also share the same story of creation. This story is connected with the Nubian and Egyptian culture.

[marauda777]

i read that the zulus state that there people originated in the north where the saharan dessert is now, and once the dessertifaction became to much they migrate to the south although i cant remember where it was that i saw that but ill look for it again

[xemola]

Not to mention, they were studing independantly from Islam as well. Not just under Islam. But independant from Islam even befor Islam excisted.

[markellion]

Thats true there is no way they could have been so successful if they didn't already have a strong intellectual tradition

[xemola]

Yeah its true. Africans need to be carefull of letting people redifine Africa. Like for instance, the term subsaharan Africa. Africans come from African and Arabs dont.

And African history, culture and science is independant of islam and do not even come close in comparison in life terms, or impact on humanity as whole. We have to stop letting other groups take conquest of our heritage!

Yeah Muslim armies did excist long ago, but to praise them over African invention is just stupid.

[markellion]

Go to savethetruearabs . com

[xemola]

Yes indeed brother.

With out any doubt, the people who originally accupied the arabian penisula were of African Origin or share the same ethnic traits.

There seems to be a lack of acceptance and understanding of these ancient kingdoms and the conncetion between the to. Most people think that Arabien science influx into Africa is so great while forgetting the outflux of African invention and culture prior to any Asian influence in Arabia! Arabia was mearly an extention of African culture.

[xemola]

on the same subject, I have spoken to many people who live in African but consider themselves of Arab decent. There are two groups of them. The light skin and the darker skin. Somaliens and your moraccan types.

I could understand how the Somalien (not all) seem to put an accent on the Arab or Yemenite blood, when prior to any asien addmixure in arabia they are the same decendants of African empires that dominated that area. So why consider yourself different from the bantu?

[xemola]

On contrary the lighter skin Arabs hold a discontent for dark skin people in Africa. They do not even consider the Somalien equal (abdi).

Africans developed Arabia long before any Asien or Cacasien entered the aria. What is looked on as ancient Arab kingdoms are no more that kingdoms build by African scholars! The Asiens or Eurasiens came afterwards!

[xemola]

Hence, Arabs learned far more from African culture than Africans ever learned from Asiens. IF you get my meaning. All the wars you hear about the Pharos fighing in are after Asiens invaded the arabien panisula, and defeated the originators of that society!

[markellion]

The people of Somalia were called Berberah. During colonialism it was advantageous to identify oneself with Arabs

[mistadoboleena]

True, but now the test is are we going to use this to empower ourselves and uplift, or will we just say "yeah! see! us black ppl are better than you all!" and keep the drama going?

[xemola]

Good point. The Answer is, we are going to empower ourselves first through knowledge to uplift ourselves. So hence proper information being tought will empower people. But when racist people teach us that our ancestors were devil worshipers and satanic through religion, this is were we have to fight! Because people are using religion to kill Africans.

[marsproject23]

WOW!!! How many people on the earth today do not know about this. That knowledge of this kind was in west Africa from 1300 - 1500+. That they were teaching the priviledged from Spain Through North Africa to Egypt. All this knowledge acquired through trade to Europe alone(?) Either way this history is not know to many North Americans, (over shadowed by the later history of African Slave trading).

I still have to finish watching.

A Big thank you to markellion, for making this available.
