#The_Re_Writing_Of_Black_History
I have seen a recent trend of blacks trying to desperately prove that
black-African society was more advanced than the world apparently
realized prior to colonization. They are trying to address areas such as
architecture, education, astronomy, technology, general societal
infrastructure etc
What a joke!
After reading many of
these I have concluded that those of you writing these articles are
making a feeble and piss-poor attempt to do so. In fact your attempt is
so weak it highlights the vulnerable underbelly of the desperate African
who is trying to pathetically prove to the world that there is more to
our history than there really is...
Even if African society had
advanced medicine and "the first" university, and the pyramids (I am
pretty darn sure no African engineered those) - there is very little
that is accurately/reliably documented in the annals of history which
actually provides the detail (and multiple-source corroboration) needed
to truly substantiate the extent to the claims we hear. All you black
pundits out there - there is clearly is a lack of solid supportive data
for these claims.
The fact is, African tribes/societies were not
as sophisticated and forward thinking as European and Asian societies at
that time in world history, related to the areas of architecture,
education, astronomy, technology and general societal infrastructure.
Let's face it, even now we exhibit fairly primitive tribal tendencies
in the way we try to govern countries - we can't overcome tribal lores,
we can't organize ourselves well in the various arms of government, we
fall prey to which-craft and superstitions that affect our ability to
make logical decisions. We have broken down a first world country into
fragments of what it was 20 years ago, clearly due to tribalistic
tendencies, which some might say are proof that we have not evolved, and
never will evolve.
Our actions force scholars to wonder if black
society is actually devolving since the period in history when we
apparently engineered and constructed the pyramids, and invented
telescopes. It's almost laughable is it not? Where are all these
artisans today? Let me repeat -where are all these accomplished artisans
today, and how did we lose all that knowledge in Southern Africa?
Accept your blackness my African brothers! Be proud of who you really
are TODAY. Accept our limitations, and don't put in presences or create
stick houses and make the rest of us look like lying fools.
We have many things to be proud about, but don't lower yourself by trying to embellish our history.
Let's look forward and encourage our people to excel at everything they
do in the future. Let's teach our children to be engineers and
architects and professors, and build our own pyramids in South Africa --
My God we have built NOTHING to be proud of really in the 20 years we
have ruled this country, we have only torn down and destroyed!
Let's teach our children to be smart, educated, innovative, open and flexible, competitive, disciplined and responsible.
Let's not show them that it is acceptable to pilfer through putrid
rubbish - we need to find ways to rise above that if we are truly the
civilized people we apparently say we are.
