@Putumintheyplace

I found it very funny when she added it stired a white man first. WHy did she have to add the first part. It was a subconsicous need to put white first in everything and then black second or last.

[bigb771]

yea it's been said that the some of the mummies of egypt were giving a melanin level test, and it's said that had high melanin which indicated that the Ancient Egyptians WERE black...i rest my case, don't want to hear anymore lies from the Europs.

This guy doesn't go far enough. David, Solomon, Jesus, etc were all Africans i.e. Pharaohs. A good book to read is the Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt by Ahmad Osman. The "Jewish" people don't exist. The people referred to as Jews are the African people that were in Egypt. Again, read that book I mentioned. People of the African diaspora really don't understand who they are, who their fathers were and what they are capable of.

some how .. the is guy reminds me of Bill Clinton.

why does it always take a white man to tell our story?? because they are the ones that hid it on purpose. May the blessings of Allah be on this man for his passion on this subject. We need more. For all whites who view this, please share this with everyone that yu know. thanks.

@RealityofThings

Your reaching, the slavery that blacks put now the modern concept of europe through is not the same as what whites did to blacks from Africa. They are far from each other and is like comparing a Native American Village Skirmish with European Genocidal Assualts. They are different and the magnitudes are so far removed it is beyond flawed to state they aren't the same. Fear and Terror are not the same thing regardless of how simillar they are. That is easy to understand

@SUPERIORcarbonL1L2L3

I am interested in what you are writing as I do like to learn and have a very open mind. If you send me links and material, does not have to be all at the same time. At your pace of course, I respect convience and time. After all you are doing me the favor, right. I would very much read it and consider it as I have never heard of Irish kings being black. However I do know that blacks ruled a great part of europe so I am interested in this time period as well.

@ani1616

well at one time everyone was black and racism was not the same as it is now. So yeah if blacks built these monuments that is fine but they are still european monuments as the blacks became white or married in or the they had a totally different style and culture from that of their kin in africa. When people are that different it is very hard to say that they are the same.

@sharonanony , continue

I can list many examples of this but I wont, Zeus have given birth to other gods in myth. However Zeus is clearly a divine male, the idea of birth is conceptual not literally and exclusively female. Also giving birth does not mean you are better as you can give better to something that is better than you in every way.

@sharonanony

What your saying here sounds bizzare. I think you are taking conceptual ideas too literally. Many people do this with ideas, famous example of this flaw is modern Christians and use of the bible, oh and Christian culture ideas. A man can and in the past has talked about his penis as a sword or a gun, That does not mean his penis is literally a sword or a gun. The earth does not literally give birth and giving birth does not something conceptually that onl females can do.

@SharkoftheDiaspora

It is possible that women can give birth without sperm. Sperm aids in the process however it is not necessary. There are animals that can do this and have seemingly developed this ability in the absence of males(death). However the problem with this is no variation. So specialized species like certain lizards change too slowly to changes in their enviroment which is bad. Also they produce clones of themselves so yeah, its not that great.
