I'm Just Saying....

History Re Visited 

I hope you were edified with the knowledge shared in my celebration of Black History Month. As a closing remark, I would like to add that the study of His(story) has always been one sided and monopolized by the dominate culture of the world. The introduction of the internet and the means to travel offers people a connection to step out of their familiar environment and allow the chance to observe and experience diversity. The truth is most ethnic groups stay within the confines of their own communities and never get the opportunity to experience the richness and enlightenment that comes with the contact of a diverse culture. You can celebrate and maintain your own heritage, customs and possibly teach others the good that can come in acknowledging a different viewpoint other than your own and the reward will be to grow in a mutually spiritual understanding that will benefit everyone. The main culprit of division is “fear and mistrust,” and for some, it is a justified resolution given the history of past encounters.

My personal belief through research and reasoning is that the concept to divide the nations by race was done deliberately to maintain a racial hierarchy of social and political power. The original theory was first brought into fruition in the 16th century when French physician and traveler, Francois Bernier published a book, entitled “New Division of Earth by the different species or races which inhabit it.” He was one of the first anthropologists to specify race using physical characteristics. This theory created a brainstorming that in later years would evolve into the ridiculous ideology that people could be classified according to intelligence (skull size), class and eventually, skin tones. *note: do further research into eugenics.

However, my hypothesis is that in seeking to know the origin of “their” genealogy, the Caucasian archaeologist and anthropologist discovered through the excavation of remains and artifacts, not just in Africa, but all over the world undeniable proof that Black people was indeed the progenitor of all the nations and their intelligence and ingenuity far exceeded what they had initially believed. So they had to recreate a new history that would omit and cover up all the facts they had found, a falsified history that would make themselves the superior intellectuals of ancient and modern civilization. This in turn suggested a superior state of mind among the dominate culture (white) around the world and an inferior mindset among what society deemed as lower class groups, (non-white), widespread racism and classism would follow, culminating into the judgment, fear and hatred that is seen today, which is destroying our society.

The only way to release the bondage of your mind is to know the truth and that will happen when you come out of the illusion of the matrix and the confinement of believing everything you have been told/taught by academia, historians, scholars and the media. You must break through the walls of propaganda, fear mongering, stereotypes and race baiting that continues to perpetuate the lie.

It is very important to learn and have your own knowledge of history; there has been a lot of omission and untruths written that people are not aware of. This lack of knowledge is the reason why so many are arrogant, blind, intolerant and divisive in their relationship with other cultures. I realize there are some people, who will have a prejudicial mentality regardless,

However, I have to believe that the majority of people are uneducated to important facts in history that once known will alter the course of their logical thinking if they choose to seek the truth.

So, are you willing to be released from 

The Matrix?

OPEN YOUR MIND!
