Subject: RE: PBS “RACE”: A HISTORY OF RACISM & TERRORISM, REBELLION & OVE
RACE IS A NATURAL FACT IN PHYSICAL TERMS AND A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT AS
WATUSIS ARE PHYSICALL DIFFERENT FROM ESKIMOS AND AS IRISH SERVANTS OF
THE 18TH CENTURY WERE SYSTEMATICALLY OPPRESSED AND MADE AS “INFERIOR” AS
SLAVES OF THE SAME PERIOD
AFRICAN-CENTERED SCHOLARS MUST LAY THE FACTS OUT IN THE OPEN AND ARE
DOING SO
In order for one to understand the nature of Anglo-Saxon racism and its
effects on present-day Africans/Negroids around the world, or the effect
of sanctified racism in India, Sudan and West Papua and its effect
today, one has to also study the English system of servitude, surfdom
and servant/master (as in Manor House) relationships.
The fact is, racism grew out of a system that was established in England
and parts of Europe during the Middle Ages, when Africans/Black Moors
began to fall out of favor from being a highly respected and
accomplished people, to being reduced to slavery after Ferdinand and
Isabella retook Spain from the Black Moors and Arabs. From this point
onward, religious books like the Bible and others were distorted to
establish the philosophy of racism and to connect it to religion as has
been the case in India for about three thousand years.
Yet, racism was not invented in Europe or by the type of Europeans we
know today. The earliest forms of racism came from two sources. One is
the invaders who entered Black Naga India during the 1700’s B.C. and
after hundreds of years of fierce warfare, extermination and genocide
along with religious trickery (such as entering a Black religions,
taking over the books, changing them), racism became tied to religions.
In like manner, the ‘Hebrews” who were said to be partially composed of
Semites from the wilderness and who were among the invaders of Egypt
before the time of Ahmose tried to establish a system of oppression in
Egypt but the Egyptian High Priests, who were the real power behind the
thrones of Egypt at one time, rejected the foreign influence and
religious ideas. Later on, Ahmose was able to defeat and drive out the
Hyksos and Egypt did not fall into the same conditions that India fell
into when the Black originators of the Indus Valley culture were driven
to untouchability and the invaders established their rule, religion and
culture.
FALSE SCIENCE AND FALSE BELIEFS USED TO JUSTIFY RACISM SINCE 3000 B.C.
According to M. Gopinath of Dalit Sahitya Sangathane, (see the book,
ref. “A History of Racism and Terrorism, Rebellion and Overcoming,” pub.
by Xlibris, www.xlibris.com ), in ancient times, a race of people
related to Africans who were Blacks and called Naga, were spread from
South Asia (also found from the South Pacific, through Indo China to
South India all the way west to Cape Verde in Africa) all the way to
West Africa. The Naga were a branch of this ancient Black race who were
the first people to establish civilization and culture around the world.
The Naga were the people we call today Negro/Negroid, African/Africoid
or loosely, The Black Race.
According to Gopinath, the Blacks of India were invaded and their
culture destroyed. Nomads from Eurasia spend hundreds of years working
to distroy what was a magnificent Black civilization that was spread
from Eastern India all the way to Afghanistan and who were related to
Blacks in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and the region thereof.
Although the Blacks were not militarily conquered, they were
psycholigically and religiously conquered when their religious beliefs,
writings and traditions were distorted by the invaders who established a
system of “varna” or color caste gading to maintain an apartheid-like
system. This system continues today in India and although people of jet
black skins can be found in the highest levels of the caste system and
people of fair skin can be found in the lowest levels, it is the very
fair skinned, high caste people who dominate South Asian aristocracy,
while the Black/darkskinned majority are at the middle to bottom.
The invaded civilization of the Indus Valley, which was a Black
civilization related to the Black Elamites and Black Cushites of
Mesopotamia and East Africa was destroyed and entire Black tribes and
peoples wiped out from Afghanistan, northern India and parts of India.
Those who refused to be part of the caste system were labeled
“Untouchables,” and these were the remnabts of those who fought the
white nomads from northern Eurasia who infiltrated India (see more from
the text, “Susu Economics: The History of Pan-African Trade, Commerce,
Money and Wealth,” pub. by 1stBooks Library, 2595 Vernal Pike,
Bloomington, Indiana 47404 U.S.A. ) www.1stbooks.com 1(800) 839-8640
Also read, “The Black Untouchables of India,” by V.T. Rajshekar, Y.N.
Kly, Runoko Rashidi, pub. by www.claritypress.com )
Yet, despite the degradation of the Blacks of Cushite India and Cushite
Sudan (Nubia-Cush) who were masters of science, technology and art (read
Drusilla Dungee Houston’s “Wonderful Ethiopians of the Mighty Cushite
Empire,” pub. by Black Classics Press, Baltimore, MD ), those who were
able to rebuild their ancient civilizations continued to make and create
magnificent works and contribute to world development. In fact, as
Houston points out, much of what is called “Arabian” civilization is
actually Black Sabean and Black Cushite civilization later adopted by
the nomadic Semites. Ironically, the Black Cushites were the first
people to be vilified and defamed by racist Semitic religiouis writings
such as the lie called “The Curse of Ham,” which has been used to
perpetuate racism, slavery and oppression of Blacks to this day.
BUDDHA’S CONTRIBUTION TO IMPROVING THE LIVES OF BLACK NAGAS IN INDIA
One of the most important people in world history, Buddha contributes to
the uplifting of the Black Cushtes of India after they were downpressed
for many years by the nomads who took control of India. According to
Indian historians of the Dalit group, India’s flowering and the
upliftment of the Naga and the Black Untouchable population of India
occurred a few centuries before the Birth of Christ due to the works of
Buddha and that Buddhism was a rejection of the previous religion that
was extremely oppressive to the indigenous Black Indian/Native
population of India.
THE LESSER IMPORTANCE OF RACISM AGAINST BLACKS/ETHIOPIANS
DURING ROMAN AND GREEK PERIOD
Racism was not a strong factor against Blacks during the Greek and Roman
period of civilization in Europe (800 B.C. to 400 A.D.). In fact, by
800 B.C., when the Greeks were beginning to make their mark in Europe,
they were overshadowned by powerful Black civilizatons in the
Mediterranean. There were the Black Maurites/Canaanites of Spain, the
Western Mediterranean, the Egyptians in the Eastern Mediterannean, the
Nubians, Black Sabeans/Ethiopians of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean and
the Colchians of the Black Sea Region/Armenia. These Black nations
dominated parts of the Mediterannean and one findds them mentioned in
the Greek Epics such as the Illyad and Homer’s works.
In fact, the founders of early Greek or “Negreecian” civilizations were
the Egyptians themselves, and it was Egyptian priests to reminded
Herodotus that the Egyptians had been in the “Peleponeses” thousands of
years before the Greeks arrived. Factually, the Dorian Greeks who were
the first “white” Greeks arrived from Central Asia along with a number
of other Caucasoid peoples who also entered into Northern Italy, France,
Spain, Germany and parts of Western Europe. In fact, today’s Afghans,
Pashtoons and other Central Europeans and Altaic Russians are directly
related to the various Western European nations of today.
As far as the Romans, Greeks and early Jews (Isrealites) were concerned,
Blacks/Cushites/Ethiopians/Egyptians were a great people and as far as
the Romans and Greeks were concerned (see Herodotus, “The Histories,” )
the Ethiopians or Africans were the inventors of “pomp and ceremony,
laws,” and other aspects of civilization. On the other hand, the Romans
and Greeks looked at other Europeans, particularly the Celtics as
barbarians and it is also the Greeks who are credited for popularizing
blonde-haired jokes, because they considered the blonde and red-haired
Celtics and other Europeans to be “stupid” and inferior. Still, Roman
and Greek contempt for the Celtics and Northern/Central Europeans was
based on cultural chauvanism on the parts of the Romans and Greeks.
They could not develop the same type of feelings for Blacks they
encountered because at that period, Blacks in Nubia, Egypt, South
Arabia, Sabean Ethiopia, Colchis (Black Sea Area, Russia), India,
North-West Africa, Iberia, were highly advanced and although the Greeks
and Romans ment Black nomads, they did not base Black developent
primarily on the nomadic people they met (as many racists have done for
centuries to point to Black “backwardness.”)
After the corrupting of the Bible and the use of the Bible to justify
slavery during the 1600’s (see the players and writers involved, ‘A
History of Racism and Terrorism, Rebellion and Overcoming,” pub. by
www.xlibris.com ), as well as the pervasive pushing of the slave trade
by the Europeans in the West and the Semites in the East, theories on
race and racism itself developed and was used as an excuse to justify
slavery. Both the Europeans and Semites used similar excuses such as
that lie called “the curse of Ham,” which was actually a “curse” on
Canaan. Canaan, Ham’s Black son is said to have been the creator of
civilization in Fhenkhu (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Isreal, the Levant),
and a master seafarer and trader. Cush built great civilizations from
India to the Mende Sahara, while Punt developed Somalia the Black lands
East of India and Mizraim developed Egypt. This is the story as the
Bible gives it, althoug many Africans don’t believe the flood affected
the entire world and that Black civilization in places like the Sahara
and Central Africa existed tens of thousands of years ago, even when
parts of Congo did not have thick forestation and half of the Sahara was
covered by an inland sea with the other half a place of great
civilizations including the mother and father civilizations that gave
birth to Egypt and others.
AN INFERIOR COMPLEX AMONG PEOPLE WHO FEEL INFERIOR
WILL ALWAYS TOLERATE A RACIST SOCIETY
Racism will never disappear as long as those who are the victims of
racism continue to accept their lot, remain dependant on the racist
element and their system, or continue to live among the racists and
their system. It is a fact that the serf class and servant class of
17th to 19th century England and Europe who were tired of that system
separated themselves from the British/Europeans. Many of the English and
Irish racists who oppressed Blacks in the Americas were themselves
treated worse than slaves when they were in Europe/England, yet, a
system of oppressing Blacks based on race and color and that holds
“pink” or pale complexion and European features to a high standard in
America treated formerly white surfs as kings and queens, opening to
them a large land where they could simply take the property of the Black
Aboriginals and Mongoloid “Indians” who were here before them.
MOST BLACKS BELIEVE THAT THE SOLUTION TO CONTINUED
OPPRESSION OF BLACKS IS BLACK NATIONHOOD AND INDEPENDANCE
Today, there seems to be a fuss about white students attending an
all-white prom in the Southern U.S. (forgot the state), while Blacks who
also have their all-Black proms seem not to care one bit. Yet, what
many of us who find this resegregation don’t know is that Blacks in the
Southern U.S. from Florida to Texas have long rediscovered that much of
the Southern States, where the most horrible attrocities and most rabid
racists existed and may still exist is land that was illegally taken
from the Black African-American nations like the Jamassee and Gwale of
the area from North Carolina to Florida, or the Jamassee of Georgia,
South Carolina, Alabama and the Washitaw of the Mississippi/Louisiana
region whose one million square miles were illegally sold by France for
three cents an acre.
Blacks in the South and other parts of the U.S. are very well aware of
this history, that is why unlike the day of old before Blacks knew their
history and considered “integration” to be the salvation, it is the
return of Black lands in the South and the rebuilding of Black
nationhood and independance that is of most importance to most Blacks.
Attending a prom with white students is not going to improve the lot of
Blacks in the South who have seen how the rest of the Black world and
the world in general works.
Many Blacks continue to ask, “Where are the white students and the call
for whites to sit next to Japanese students in Japan so that the
Japanese students can be “equal?” The Japanese are equal no matter what
others say because they are human beings first and foremost and
accomplishment, advancement and progress of peoples, races and cultures
depend on exposure to resources, good trade and the lack of obstacles to
stop advancement.
Many Nigerians in England are exposed to the very same conditions that
make Japan an the Japanese people an accomplished people. Hence,
Nigerians in England where the environment is primarily white (50
million whites, 6 million Blacks including Blacks from India, where the
term “Black” is used by the British to describe darkskinned people from
India, Africans, Afro-West Indians from the Caribbean, Afro-Brisith and
other Black/Negroid peoples). It is also in England that the Nigerians
are the most upwardly mobile group, while certain sectors of the white
Catholic Irish and working class British populations are the losest
levels.
So, we should not be astonished that Blacks in the South could care less
whether whites go to an all white prom and don’t invite Blacks. Of
course, it does not look good for the nation as a whole, when unity
against others and coheisiveness is what is needed especially now, but
at the same time, when whites decide to return to segregation, they are
contributing to their own self-destruction and are simply pushing Blacks
who have sat on the fence and not joined in the movement for Black
independance and nationhood a reason to do so. No people in their right
mind will ever accept Jim Crow and slavery conditions, even if some
Southern states have initiated the new “fifty-cent” form of high tech
slavery, contine to disenfranchise Blacks and continue to maaintain a
system of near surfdom in the South. Sooner of later, Blacks in the
South will realize that rebuilding and returning the old Black nations
of the South is the key to Black survival.
In retrospect, scientists, pseudo-scientists and others can say all they
want about the conditions of Blacks and whether it is due to racism or
not, that will not stop Blacks from seeing that only pulling up self by
the bootstraps through independant economies, independant lands and
creating a strong and separate culture from an oppressive class is the
way that improvements will be made in the conditions of all Blacks
rather than a tiny few. The sad reality about racism is that after
Blacks are severely oppressed, even their music, jazz, culture and
anything they produce is stolen. It reminds one of the old racist
European scheme of raiding the ancient treasures of Benin, the Ashanti
and the Nubians of Sudan (sounds familiar??), carrying off statues and
artworks in gold, bronze, ivory, iron and other metals, carrying off
scrolls, tablets, parchment books and other artefacts, taking stone and
terracotta carvings, finding statues and statuettes and breaking off the
noses and faces (as some is being accused of doing in Sudan today, and
as the one group was accused of doing to the Buddha statue in
Afghanistan), after the ravaging of Black culture is completed, then
saying Blacks have no hhistory, civilization and culture.
According to “A History of Racism and Terrorism, Rebellion and
Overcoming,” pub. by Xlibris, www.xlibris.com ) During the eighteenth,
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a number of Europeans who were
coming out of the early and mid Middle Ages period as the most backward
people on planet earth began to explore, exploit and ravage the lands of
people around the world. From the time of Shakespeare’s “Othello” when
Black Moors and “Saraceans” (Arabs) were the most accomplished people in
Europe to the late 1800’s, Europeans went around the world studying and
copying the cultures, religions and habits of others. Many theorists
and inventors of racism journied to places like India, where they were
exposed to much of the racism and casteism that existed there and began
creating theories about races, racial differences, false sciences
dealing with why some races are better off than others.
THE ANSWER AND FACTS ON THE RACE ISSUE;
This book examines race, racism and Black revolution and retaliation
against oppression in a manner never before tackled.
