“The biological significance of surface or mere skin typing within the human species is presently a minor scientific fact but a politically painful dynamic. From the global human perspective it is a phenotypic permutation of small consequence in the ocean of genetic and biological similarity. However, deeper down we share this subtle bioluminescence and bioelectric aspect of our nervous systems. Our brains and internal organ systems, regardless of ethnicity, are covered with light-sensitive melanin. The inner core of our spinal line is composed of densely packed pigmented neural tissue. We share a residence and a resonance with each other in this cosmos of light and living darkness.”

“To the extent that it can be accepted that a man named Jesus lived in Africa some 2,000 years ago and that he was a member of the indigenous peoples, that man was undoubtedly a Black man, a man with skin pigmentation — not a white man lacking in skin pigmentation. Albinism, like leprosy, causes the skin to turn white and was considered a serious disease in ancient Africa. The victims of albinism and leprosy were cast out from the skin-pigmented peoples. Jesus never was discusses as having such a disease state. (Recall that pigmented skin is the norm for the hue-man race, not albinism.)”

“A video of the rapper Kanye West discussing slavery is a sad reminder of America’s historical amnesia about the brutal realities of that institution. ‘When you hear about slavery for 400 years,’ he said in the clip, which was widely circulated on Twitter, ‘that sounds like a choice.’ Mr. West seemed to suggest that enslaved African-Americans were so content that they did not actively resist their bondage, and, as a result, they bear some responsibility for centuries of persecution. He’s not alone in his thinking. In 2016, the former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly asserted that slaves were ‘well fed and had decent lodgings.’ Last September, the Alabama senatorial candidate Roy Moore deemed the antebellum era the last great period in American history. ‘I think it was great at the time when families were united,’ he declared. ‘Even though we had slavery, they cared for one another.’ Modern scholarship has debunked such whitewashing, accurately depicting slavery as an inhumane institution rooted in greed and the violent subjugation of millions of African-Americans.”

“The United States’ largest owner of television stations, Sinclair Broadcast Group, mandated that its outlets run a segment on the so-called deep state that was produced by a former reporter for the Russian propaganda outlet RT, according to a new report. The ‘must-run’ piece aired on March 21 and featured Sebastian Gorka, the former adviser to President Donald Trump, lamenting the existence of a deep state—a popular conspiracy theory in some circles that longtime career public servants in the government are working to subvert the U.S. government. Trump has repeatedly complained about such a mysterious rogue network. Sinclair national correspondent Kristine Frazao produced the segment. Before joining Sinclair in 2013, she was an anchor/correspondent at RT, formerly Russia Today, for more than three years, according to her LinkedIn page. RT is an international television network funded by the Russian government. The Columbia Journalism Review called it ‘the Kremlin’s propaganda outlet.'”

There is a video circulating online showing all of the various anchors reading from this script. I came across it from Erykah Badu’s Instagram page a couple days ago. She’s been speaking about this in her music for a long time (e.g. “I Stay Woke”), and it’s been going on before we were born… It was pretty disturbing and sad to watch. We are literally witnessing the fall of a racist and corrupt empire, but from a black person’s perspective, this should have happened over four hundred years ago. It is time for transformative social change!!

“Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in in artifacts from ancient Nubia in Africa. Until now it has been assumed that at the time the ancient Nubian culture, which existed in what is now northern Sudan and southern Egypt, had not advanced beyond a collection of scattered tribal clans and chiefdoms. The existence of rule by kings indicates a more advanced form of political organization in which many chiefdoms are united under a more powerful and wealthier ruler. The discovery is expected to stimulate a new appraisal of the origins of civilization in Africa, raising the question of to what extent later Egyptian culture may have derived its advanced political structure from the Nubians.”

I was born five years after this article was published, yet I am learning for the first time, that the New York Times published this information nearly four decades ago. Smdh! Why isn’t this mentioned in the Bible? Why isn’t this information being taught in our schools?

Benjamin Issac’s “The Invention of Racism in Classical Antiquity”

The Invention of Racism in Classical Intiquity

Minutes ago, I learned about the existence of this book and it’s crazy to me because when I made the decision to take legal action against William Morris, one of the most important questions I wanted to answer was: How and why did/does white racism begin/still exist [if original man was black and dominated the world for centuries “before [and after the “birth” of] Christ”]? 

So far, Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing has done the best job in helping me understand this issue with her color confrontation theory, which addresses their fear of “white genetic annihilation” and discusses global white supremacy as a system of oppression against the indigenous peoples of the world that operates in all areas of human activity (e.g religion, law, entertainment, education, government, military, etc.) for the ultimate purpose of maintaining their genetic survival.

While writing this post, I did more research on the book. The Princeton Press writes:

There was racism in the ancient world, after all. This groundbreaking book refutes the common belief that the ancient Greeks and Romans harbored “ethnic and cultural,” but not racial, prejudice. It does so by comprehensively tracing the intellectual origins of racism back to classical antiquity. Benjamin Isaac’s systematic analysis of ancient social prejudices and stereotypes reveals that some of those represent prototypes of racism–or proto-racism–which in turn inspired the early modern authors who developed the more familiar racist ideas. He considers the literature from classical Greece to late antiquity in a quest for the various forms of the discriminatory stereotypes and social hatred that have played such an important role in recent history and continue to do so in modern society.

Magisterial in scope and scholarship, and engagingly written, The Invention of Racism in Classical Antiquity further suggests that an understanding of ancient attitudes toward other peoples sheds light not only on Greco-Roman imperialism and the ideology of enslavement (and the concomitant integration or non-integration) of foreigners in those societies, but also on the disintegration of the Roman Empire and on more recent imperialism as well. The first part considers general themes in the history of discrimination; the second provides a detailed analysis of proto-racism and prejudices toward particular groups of foreigners in the Greco-Roman world. The last chapter concerns Jews in the ancient world, thus placing anti-Semitism in a broader context.

Benjamin Isaac is Lessing Professor of Ancient History at the University of Tel Aviv. He is a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the author of The Limits of Empire: The Roman Army in the East.

I’m really excited about reading this book! It will be the first book I read in 2018!!

“This accomplishment brings the greatest honor to the black race and merits, from the view point, all our attention. In the 16th Century, the Songhay land awoke. A marvelous growth of civilization mounted there in the heart of the Black continent…And this civilization was not imposed by circumstances, nor by an invader, as is often the case even in our own day. It was desired, called forth, introduced and perpetuated by a man of the Black race.”
