A subject on Africans being viewed as a threat, the author of the video did not address the Elephant in the room which is the physical appearance of Africans and their descendants. Early explorers to the African continent told stories of having encountered giants, savages, and humans of great strength. Even when the explorers came back to start the slave trade they knew exactly what they are trading which is physical strength. Even after centuries of migration people of African descent are still associated with that perception, they are stronger. If you want to assess the threat levels of the person standing next to you, the physical appearance is where you start from before thinking about what they have, their origins or ancestry. Africans had that high threat level and combined with the abundant resources, the possibility of a strong empire rising was considered to be high.
@easter worshipper that’s true but put me in a cage and I’ll take my chances with mongols than mike Tyson or Ngannou. He is speaking strictly from appearance.
@@satty5030 I think you are too quick to express your opinion without actually going through my statement. Perharps you can read my comment again. Otherwise your comment is confusing and innaccuarte. Height is not physical strength, and was never traded to create a civilization based on one crop. What does that even mean?. Geography, diet, hunter gatherer, normadic lifestyles are generic and not unique to Africans, so attributing those factors as the source of their strength is misleading and innacurate.
@easter worshipper what you would call North Africans aren’t native to that area all people whom immigrated there. Just conquerer after conquerer until the true race of that area where wiped away
In South Africa we have tribes that think are superior to others. Even the history of our people have been changed to benefit certain groups of people. If we don't see each other as one. The enemy will always use the other against the other

@@bigevil1001 Anger ain't gonna help you live to the fullest, man. Countries which have had best success quelling racism and colour discrimination have done it by suppressing the notion of race. When you say races don't exist and you're not allowed to ask for people's skin colour when you read their application for jobs or schools, it's not as easy to discriminate that criteria.
Races aren't an accurate way to split up humans into groups, it would be more like a subspecies which is based on geographical and physical differences.
I'm from Africa. East Africa. To the narrator of this video, I would say: you don't know your roots. Tribalism is a local, national and international problem. The Arabs and the Europeans realized and exploited this to their own advantage and maximum benefits. That was before they divided Africa into countries from which they can control the flow of money and people, benefiting from each transaction and transportation, and infiltrated our "independent" governments with extreme corruption. However, regardless of the exploitation of outsiders, we Africans are to be blamed for our internal tribalism that divides us more than any outsider could exploit or amplify, and unfortunately it persists till today. We have to overcome tribalism. Corruption will not end until we do. We have to dismantle the borders set by the Arabs and Europeans and combine our continent into one country. We have to *see* each other as more precious, beautiful, attractive and trustworthy than the outsiders. Only then will we ever regain our continent into our own hands. If we don't, then we cannot blame anyone else for exploiting us.
I was agreeing with you until I saw the end. Creating one country won’t solve anything : which language will we be speaking ? How do you put countries who already hate each other into one country ? Culture also take a big part in the reason why it won’t work (trust me certain people won’t like to be associated with foreign cultures, languages, religions and way of living in general). Also, who will run the country ? Where I am from, it is already a problem that the president is from a certain tribe and that he is tribalist. With the intern conflicts that are there, nothing will be beneficial from this union, people will still be hating on each other and feel forced to be considered from the same country. Instead, people from the same tribes should live together in their own country in order to really get rid of tribalism (instead of forcing people who don’t get along to be together *like certain people did* ) You want to do the same thing that colonizers want to do and it’s concerning to me. Forced cohabitation is never a good thing.
What he saying is to form a unified front like the whites in Europe and the Chinese. Meaning we can have different tribes, languages but unify a coalition.@@yochesophia2554

As a black man I praise your videos because it's educational and you present your content as more opinion and as a intellectual myself I can respect that King .. keep teaching us
I am not a black man, I am a Mestizo. This means that I am a new race of people that came forth from indigenous Americans being raped by our Spanish oppressors. Disease, slavery, and genocide wiped out the majority of our native ancestors , although the Yaqui nation mine came from still survive. Most Latin Americans don't discuss their bastardized roots but I wear it like a badge of honor. My story is no different than any race on the planet who has both suffered and contributed greatly to civilization. I am a student of history and my historical journey and quest to obtain understanding has lead me to studying Africa and thus to this channel. I feel that it is not only important to those of African decent but important to the world in general that people be educated on the great contributions that Africans have made to civilization. How wealth and most importantly the knowledge that Africans imparted upon the world changed the course of human history in a very meaningful way. Africans have undoubtedly suffered but over all they flourished longer. I feel this to be important because the greatest oppressor is that of the mind. Africans are taught of their struggles but not of their triumphs. Not of their historical importance. Only teaching them of their struggles only serves to hold them down and to divide all people into categories of victim and oppressors rather than illuminating the historical truth which is that all people have suffered, yet all of us have greatness in us. That we are only limited by our perception. That we walk in the footsteps of giants. History should teach us all of the dangers of power and tribalism. It should make us proud of who we are but wary of who we can potentially become. That oppressed or oppressor are real threats of human nature. That self mastery and discipline will keep us on the right path, but love and knowledge will set us free.
Tribalism is every continent. What's more important is for African American stop calling themselves BLACK, Unfortunately due to Pop Culture, African Americans have inspired Africans to start using the word ...using a word assigned in 1779 to identify yourself is pretty degenerate and embarrassing. We have a home continent in Africa. By not correcting your terms, your longing to belong and not able to connect a home so our people can request for reparations and pled the case to the UN as Jews did Post-World War 2 with Germany.

Matey this is why Black History studies in public education is so important. I don't remember who said it but; The easiest way to control a population is to suppress and deny the knowledge of their own history. This is relevant to US and world history as well, which have always been distorted for the purposes of those who would rule the country by virtue of their personal wealth. That too is why 99% of the white supremist are ignorant of the fact that their Confederate ancestors were as sharecroppers elevated only to the position of lowly paid slaves to the plantation owners who took all their wages back at the company store where they were cheated on their production and merchandise sales. If taught history was factual, everyone would know about the US governments genocide of 200 million indigenous here in America, and they would likely be treated more justly today. The true enemies of humanity are the oligarchy worldwide. Know thy true enemy.
@@themiddleman3060 I've heard everything from 20 million to 196 million. We have to consider a few factors. One we are talking about 2 continents, North and South America. Numbers are hard to quantify because records were burned and populations died of disease before Europeans even reached them because the diseases reached neighboring populations first. Neither European scholars nor Western governments are truly interested in knowing or reporting the true cost of their invasion. Lastly, what metric is being used to determine the cause of the genocide or the length of time, and who was/is affected may vary. When do we stop counting the deaths of native people? Just the first 100, 200 or 400 years? Or when their all gone? Do those loosing the habitats in the Amazon today count? Do we count the wars? Do we count the policies, like ethnic whitening? If it were my people... We're counting it all.

Great and insightful analysis. And I agree 100%. I am grateful that you also highlighted the horrors of Arab slavery...far too often this abomination flies under the radar.
Ottoman slavery, slavic slavery, nordic slavery, african slavery, asian slavery etc etc etc etc. Everyone enslaved everyone, but africans had it the worst.
@The W Because it is estimated that over the period of the atlantic slave trade, around 110 million of them were trafficked into slavery from their continent to places like the Americas and europe, 10% of which survived. Based on these statistics it is estimated that around 99 million africans died during travel due to the horrible conditions they were subjected to on the boats they were travelling on. They were abused in various way on these boats as well as upon arrival. The arab slave trade had certain rules in place in regards to the treatment of slaves, the atlantic slave trade did not. Those people were de humanized to such a despicable point that it would most likely get me flagged on a youtube comment section if I began to list the atrocities that occured on those boats.
@@themiddleman3060 The Pan African Movement is an elitist jocular talk shop by those who have never and will never figure out what Africa truly needs to get out of its plight. Its a pity that anyone looks up to them for any meaningful solutions.
Can’t imagine it happening.... too much divisiveness within the group. Colorism/ classism plus black immigrants don’t typically get along with black Americans.
As someone who lives in Africa, this probably only applies to the most northern African countries close to the Middle East region. For the other countries, they weren't a threat; it was simply the fact that they could get resources that they didn't have, and at that time, we as Africans didn't truly understand how valuable those resources were or just didn't have the weapons or technology to fight back, so they took advantage of that.
It's all redundant anyway if u really break it down. A man's self sufficient labor is replaced by a commodity that is worked and produced by others giving profits to the man who sold the commodity. Often this profit exceeds the necessary amount for survival or sustainability and ironically isn't enough for the workers to be self sufficient. In short. Selling or exploiting resources is a scam to avoid self sustaining labor. All u need to do is convince the workers that they took have a chance to have overabundance. Smdh. See documentary : Everything is a rich man's trick! 💯
If you don't write your own history then others will write for you . Africa is a continent no a country many civilizations have risen and fallen . So what makes you think that Africans did not know the use of those resources when most valuable resources were given value
The last point about the fact that Africans were not seeking world domination during the period in history when other continents were in a race for world domination is a very important point.

I highly appreciate and commend the program. The frank and progressive discussion of our quintessential identity as negroes has, in the last 50 years, been put on the backburner because of our own collective and individual insecurities, disunity, fear and repression. The philosophical teachings of Pan-Africanism has been all but abandoned. This documentary gives me hope that one day, we may yet again have the intellectual capacity and will to re-examine and continue the works of such Pan Africanists Marcus Garvey and W.E.B Dubois. “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” ― Marcus Garvey
Pan Africanism has always been ridiculous, it's a diverse continent with most conflict & oppression occurring from other neighbors within the continent. It also creates a division between Africans abroad and the nations they should be assimilating, focusing on twisted narratives instead of self responsibility & improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. As a black American female I was educated today. I have always felt that Africans were not trying for domination. It is the greed of the Arabs and Europeans that has ruined Africa. Not the Africans themselves. They are fighting to save their land. ❤️
While this is true to some degree, the many kings of Africa that contacted Europeans and Arabs were fully willing to sell their best craftsmen and workers to them for their own gain.
Know that the Europeans didn’t take slaves from Africa. They kidnapped, tricked, did bogus trades, etc. to steal only the strongest of Africa’s most precious assets; its strongest peoples. They took scholars, engineers, alchemists, medical doctors, scientists, etc., and MADE them slaves. They took ONLY the best the Motherland had, and thereby ensured their success. The ability to continue the rape, murder, theft of everything they could find, and make a dollar on. In addition to leaving the entire Continent in the hands of the children. All of the elders, on most of the Continent have been annihilated-through famine (created), diseases brought by the Europeans (like in the Americas) and a whole host of other causes/issues.
The video is just speculation, I dont know one scottish irish or brittish man where I'm from who fears any man and I'd say the same for all of europe especially eastern Europe, this is puffed up vanity I could say the world fears the irish russians Scots etc but its nonsense, go look at the book of jasher African nations were taken out by nations many a times

He's saying the actions of Europe nations and Arab nations seems to be to eradicate the African male. And africa does have all the resources so this would give motive. That's all that's being said, you don't have to agree doesn't mean it isn't hinting to certain truths and agendas. Because there have been agendas to destroy africans in times past and present by european and arab nations.
@@Dreadboi1990 Until the Scramble for Africa in the 1900's, much of the African inland was untouched by Europeans or Arabs, so for the claim to be made that Africa was a historical threat is not very accurate. Even port cities have only been established since the 1500's by Portuguese explorers. Most enslavement of people in Africa was conducted by neighboring enemy Kingdoms or Tribes. The Cress Welsing Theory is solely part of the American experience. And not very historical in its approach. It's based more-so on speculation and psychological guesses. But the Racist rhetoric of the United States has been projected globally and it's disgusting. In order to begin solving this problem we need to re-evaluate the idea of Race in the first place.
The utilization of the word “threat” is improper. The African has never been a threat. They have always been in a historical defensive mode due to their vast wealth and knowledge. Everyone has always wanted what the African had, and still has today without wanting to pay for it, as Dr. Clarke would always say. .
Ain't that the truth. I'm not speaking only on africans but everybody who blames anybody else for their own failure! I stopped doing that when I realized how irrational it is!

Africans outside of north africa were looked at like a snack not a threat. The sahara and non arid regions kept the western, central, and southern africans relegated to their tribal societies, instead of intermingling and trading with the developing nations and they stayed underdeveloped for thousands of years. Even the greeks and romans knew there were land and resources and a easily dominated people on the other side of the sahara but they found it too difficult to cross for the sake of colonization. If the sahara wasnt a physical obstacle that kept those africans seperate from the rest of the world they would have adapted over time and been on equal footing with the north africans and Eurasians and could have defended themselves against abuse. They tried to enslave Egyptians, Libyans, algerians, and tunisians too, but they were saavy and prepared and frankly they were used to be slaveowners already. They couldnt do it so they had to go further south and out west where people were more simple and society was based on basic survival, instead of the arts, politics, and military. Same way native american and south american tribes that were isolated for thousands of years also fell victim to domination. Because they were isolated and knew nothing about the modern world. Humans grow and learn more the larger and more interconnected the communities are. If you are only connected to your tribes you only know what your people know, whereas egyptians learned and shared knowledge and trade with macedonians, asians, levantines, and eurasians. Africa as a whole is just now learning and getting on an equal playing field. And its not africans fault or anything its just they lived in a tribal and hunter gatherer society for too damn long and werent exposed to other ideals and lifestyles

That's lovely and all, but being of an ethnicity doesn't mean that you know anything about that culture or way of life. African Americans don't have any sort of connection to Africa or African culture.
Videos such as this fill me with awe and anger. The sheer depth of our history is inspiring. What's funny is that the root of all the opressive behavior is fear. Thanks for the knowledge.
Fear is the ultimate motivator of the oppressor. The oppressor does not realize that while they are preoccupied with the actions of black people oh, it is their own fear that is their greatest enemy and their ultimate Destroyer.
No the main factor behind oppressive behaviour that created the Atlantic slave trade was greed and the yearning for significant wealth by those black African leaders who helped the Colonial European white countries to also gain significant wealth in the new world.
@@peterpereira3653 if what you say is true, then why is it the oppressive Behavior did not end with the transatlantic slave trade? No black African leaders thought it was necessary to destroy Black Wall Street or Implement Jim Crow in the US No black African leaders made the decision to pay reparations to former slave masters in the aftermath of the Civil War while depriving free black people their 40 acres and a mule the US govt promised them. How many black African leaders have had a hand in perpetuating oppression here in the United States for the last 400 plus years? If the Greed of Black African leaders are responsible, was this greed also responsible for the European colonization of African nations as well during the 18th 19th and 20th Centuries? How many Black African leaders were invited to German Chancellor Bismarck's Berlin Conference to divide up the African continent and place it under European colonial rule, ensuring the European nations would not fight each other over African resources? If the greed of black African leaders are the root oppression as you have stated, I find it interesting that centuries after the transatlantic slave trade ended, many of those same black African leaders found themselves being colonized by European nations after they sold tribes they conquered into slavery under the coercion of European powers that if they weren't provided slaves, they would provide guns to their neighboring tribes and those tribes will defeat them and sell them into slavery. Seems to me that European colonizers had guns and they use this to manipulate the fears a black African leaders that they and their particular tribe could be essentially enslaved The European colonizers put it into the mind of the black African leaders it is either you or your neighboring tribe but I am enslaving black people and I don't care who. The greed of black African leaders is definitely a component of the slave trade that is usually solely focused on by white imperialists as a method to deflect and minimize the brutality savagery and barbarism implemented by white European leaders. It also stand to reason that Africa has 100 times more resources than the European continent, and all of the centuries of oppression is rooted in black african leaders greed? Logically this makes no sense.
I don’t know about fear but greed and the quest for vainglorious acknowledgement in all peoples has led us all to sorrow-but fear of the unknown always play a part.🤔😔🥰

@@deweylavell5559, can you explain the part of reverse racism in South Africa in detail? Currently came here in SA, haven't seen any of that reverse racism.
I want everyone to consider this as you make your musical selections/entertainment choices today. We are targeted heavily by the media and it effects our daily choices & our overall way of life. Look at the Grammys the other day, only 1 race of people were shown to be hyper sexualized, rude, and unruly and noone wants to discuss this fact. These depictions affect how we are seen in the world.
Why do you think they only want megan the stallion and cardi b to win grammys, to slander and destroy our image and shit feed our black people, AND IT IS WORKING!
I appreciate the reasons cited and I appreciate the work you do. May I also add beyond the physical wealth, we have an internal wealth that makes us an even more serious threat. The ability for us to make something out of nothing, to survive gracefully while no one is looking, and our rhythm.
A mind blowing perspective. It makes me think further.... That quote; “Against camels mange use tar, against poverty make a trip to Sudan”- Sheikh Anta Diop. I wonder. Do they also see blacks in the diaspora also as a resource of wealth? Bescause, everywhere where blacks in the diaspora lives, you find Arabs, chinese and Indian stores that are profit of our wealth. Maybe it’s not only the land they see as wealth, but the people as well.
It’s not maybe it is. If you took any black history classes this is common ground. Black culture from the pyramids to the dollar bill and America’s symbols came from African culture. Black people built America politically, economically, and physically. Ultimately europeans knew this and feared black people and despised their power, leading to jim crow and current say issues. Blessings
@@hunterklugh5067 I agree with you. I’m still catching up on America’s history which to so complex in details. The documentary on Netflix, Amend, hosted by Will Smith is giving me much new information on the amendments and how it went down.
Africans were also known in ancient times as strong warriors. Which is why the Arabs used them as soldiers. Even today, our physique and athleticism is unmatched
Then how come no African has won a strongman competition? Like world's strongest man? I'd argue the Nordic peoples are the ones with dominant physique and strength because they're not only taller, but are able to build good muscle mass without looking lanky. And I'm a black guy lol
@@GeneralLocooo Africans also don't also play hockey, tennis, golf or swim much. If more Africans were to enter those strong man competitions, they would easily dominate the Nordic people. Look at how Serena Williams dominated tennis after they finally allowed us to compete alongside with them.. Not all Africans are lanky. West and Central Africans typically aren't lanky. There's a reason why most non- black countries in the last Olympics used mostly black and African descended people to represent their countries..
@@GeneralLocooo Mark Henry, ever heard of him?...and tbh black men don’t train for shit like that. But what we actually do train for athletically, we dominate. Stop playing

Your analysis was spot on. The only way we can reverse what all has happened: 1. We have to agree that all blacks have a unified identity. Right now, we are fighting among ourselves (Africans vs. African Americans, Jamaicans vs. Trinidadian & Panamanians, Haitian vs. Dominicans, etc....) 2. We need Education, education, education. We need to build schools that will be centered around black culture, black religion, black history. World history and the role Africans and their descendents played in shaping and defining it.
@@tactics7058 I mean we, ourselves need to build our own schools like the jewish orthodox schools in brooklyn, NY. There are dozens of privately funded elementary, middle schools and high schools specifically for jewish children. That is what we need to do.

Great video! My opinion on Africa not being a super power as they have resources and knowledge. Is simply they lack unity, as a whole, or even within their own countries. My wife is Ethiopian and they are on the brink of civil war, just tribal power struggles and fight for national language. They still have a few hundred spoken languages. Unfortunately most empires collapsed from within, unfortunately for Africa they had limited power globally due to constant internal collapse. Thanks
That could partly explain the lack of prosperity in Africa. However, europeans have always fought one another - until they took over Africa and sliced it. Seems that they got greedier and welcome to 20th Century and 2 World Wars...
You're completely ignoring the human capital at play in different cultures and civilisations, different ethnicities aren't interchangeable you can't just see that Europe or East Asia have succeeded so naturally black Africans must also posess this potential. The rest of the Human population left Africa between 60,000-100,000 years ago. The differences are significant, and I don't know if it's helpful for Africans to draw parrallels between themselves and other people's. It's not as simple as we're all the same so are destined to have our turn one day. The model of technological advancement in the rest of the world isn't really relevant to a population that wouldn't have got their on their own.
@@charliecatesby3346 Africa's have literally invented much technology that Europeans didn't, even while being slaves. The list of black inventors is quite long, as are the list of medical feats. The greatest surgeons and medical researchers in the world are black. You may not mean to be condescending, but your lack of knowledge on the topic of Africans is quite impressive...
This makes sense because when the Ancient Greeks travelled it seem that everywhere they went they found "Ethiopian" or "Black: Burnt Faced People" take India as an example. As far east as they went they found the Dravidians classifying them as "Eastern Ethiopians". Then take the European expansion in the 14th Century to the 18th Century. Nearly everywhere they went they either found black looking people in places such as: Australia, India, almost all the islands of Oceania. Then they next ethnic group they found in mass was darker skinned Mongoloid people like Southeast Asians or Native Americans. Really when you think about it, when Europeans expanded and explored the world, they really didn't find any other "European Looking White People" beyond the continent of Europe and Central Asia. Everyone else in the world was dark skinned mongoloids or Australian looking. Thats where the fear comes from, no one else is "White" outside of Europe and parts of Central Asia. The Greeks knew this as far back as B.C. and Europeans were reminded of this during colonization A.D. On top of this if you mix with a European the child 9 times out of 10 looks like the other "race" than "white". Southern Europeans are an example of this because they have Middle-Eastern and African blood and most Southern Europeans aren't white skinned nordic looking people. They are tanned, dark haired and dark eyed like Italians and Greeks who are considered POC (People of Color) today by they way.
As a former New York City high-school music teacher I taught a lot of similar content that you present. Unfortunately many African Americans don't connect all of the dots.Connecting th edots of African American /world existance is a very in depth topic. I did as much as I could in the twenty-eight years that I was a teacher.I showed my students that African American music and African American existance are one in the same and do not separate even though the mainstream media does not and will never depict such. After all, who is going to tll the truth about some one that they don't like?
I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe that you was a teacher because your diction is off and all over the place. What do you mean by trying to get black americans to connect which dots? Are you talking about our connection to our African ancestors? Last I checked actual african people don't like us and don't see us as africans. They set themselves apart from us when they come here.

Only Yahawa can save you and the end times prophesies speaks directly to you see Zephaniah 2:1 "“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;”... nation in the bible means race..who is that race not and dwelling alone among the nations? Scattered to all kingdoms as slaves? see Luke 21:24 "“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."

Truth is light. Many tribes consolidated together to become better and stronger as a whole. They did it without strife.
A subject on Africans being viewed as a threat, the author of the video did not address the Elephant in the room which is the physical appearance of Africans and their descendants. Early explorers to the African continent told stories of having encountered giants, savages, and humans of great strength. Even when the explorers came back to start the slave trade they knew exactly what they are trading which is physical strength. Even after centuries of migration people of African descent are still associated with that perception, they are stronger. If you want to assess the threat levels of the person standing next to you, the physical appearance is where you start from before thinking about what they have, their origins or ancestry. Africans had that high threat level and combined with the abundant resources, the possibility of a strong empire rising was considered to be high.

@@satty5030 I think you are too quick to express your opinion without actually going through my statement. Perharps you can read my comment again. Otherwise your comment is confusing and innaccuarte. Height is not physical strength, and was never traded to create a civilization based on one crop. What does that even mean?. Geography, diet, hunter gatherer, normadic lifestyles are generic and not unique to Africans, so attributing those factors as the source of their strength is misleading and innacurate.

I'm from Africa. East Africa. To the narrator of this video, I would say: you don't know your roots. Tribalism is a local, national and international problem. The Arabs and the Europeans realized and exploited this to their own advantage and maximum benefits. That was before they divided Africa into countries from which they can control the flow of money and people, benefiting from each transaction and transportation, and infiltrated our "independent" governments with extreme corruption. However, regardless of the exploitation of outsiders, we Africans are to be blamed for our internal tribalism that divides us more than any outsider could exploit or amplify, and unfortunately it persists till today. We have to overcome tribalism. Corruption will not end until we do. We have to dismantle the borders set by the Arabs and Europeans and combine our continent into one country. We have to *see* each other as more precious, beautiful, attractive and trustworthy than the outsiders. Only then will we ever regain our continent into our own hands. If we don't, then we cannot blame anyone else for exploiting us.
Hopefully one day
I was agreeing with you until I saw the end. Creating one country won’t solve anything : which language will we be speaking ? How do you put countries who already hate each other into one country ? Culture also take a big part in the reason why it won’t work (trust me certain people won’t like to be associated with foreign cultures, languages, religions and way of living in general). Also, who will run the country ? Where I am from, it is already a problem that the president is from a certain tribe and that he is tribalist. With the intern conflicts that are there, nothing will be beneficial from this union, people will still be hating on each other and feel forced to be considered from the same country.
Instead, people from the same tribes should live together in their own country in order to really get rid of tribalism (instead of forcing people who don’t get along to be together *like certain people did* )
You want to do the same thing that colonizers want to do and it’s concerning to me. Forced cohabitation is never a good thing.
What he saying is to form a unified front like the whites in Europe and the Chinese. Meaning we can have different tribes, languages but unify a coalition.@@yochesophia2554

As a black man I praise your videos because it's educational and you present your content as more opinion and as a intellectual myself I can respect that King .. keep teaching us
I am not a black man, I am a Mestizo. This means that I am a new race of people that came forth from indigenous Americans being raped by our Spanish oppressors. Disease, slavery, and genocide wiped out the majority of our native ancestors , although the Yaqui nation mine came from still survive. Most Latin Americans don't discuss their bastardized roots but I wear it like a badge of honor. My story is no different than any race on the planet who has both suffered and contributed greatly to civilization.
I am a student of history and my historical journey and quest to obtain understanding has lead me to studying Africa and thus to this channel. I feel that it is not only important to those of African decent but important to the world in general that people be educated on the great contributions that Africans have made to civilization. How wealth and most importantly the knowledge that Africans imparted upon the world changed the course of human history in a very meaningful way.
Africans have undoubtedly suffered but over all they flourished longer. I feel this to be important because the greatest oppressor is that of the mind. Africans are taught of their struggles but not of their triumphs. Not of their historical importance. Only teaching them of their struggles only serves to hold them down and to divide all people into categories of victim and oppressors rather than illuminating the historical truth which is that all people have suffered, yet all of us have greatness in us. That we are only limited by our perception. That we walk in the footsteps of giants. History should teach us all of the dangers of power and tribalism. It should make us proud of who we are but wary of who we can potentially become. That oppressed or oppressor are real threats of human nature. That self mastery and discipline will keep us on the right path, but love and knowledge will set us free.
Tribalism is every continent. What's more important is for African American stop calling themselves BLACK, Unfortunately due to Pop Culture, African Americans have inspired Africans to start using the word ...using a word assigned in 1779 to identify yourself is pretty degenerate and embarrassing. We have a home continent in Africa. By not correcting your terms, your longing to belong and not able to connect a home so our people can request for reparations and pled the case to the UN as Jews did Post-World War 2 with Germany.

This is relevant to US and world history as well, which have always been distorted for the purposes of those who would rule the country by virtue of their personal wealth. That too is why 99% of the white supremist are ignorant of the fact that their Confederate ancestors were as sharecroppers elevated only to the position of lowly paid slaves to the plantation owners who took all their wages back at the company store where they were cheated on their production and merchandise sales. If taught history was factual, everyone would know about the US governments genocide of 200 million indigenous here in America, and they would likely be treated more justly today. The true enemies of humanity are the oligarchy worldwide. Know thy true enemy.
@@oldreprobate2748 The US government killed a lot of natives, but not 200 million.
@@themiddleman3060
I've heard everything from 20 million to 196 million. We have to consider a few factors. One we are talking about 2 continents, North and South America. Numbers are hard to quantify because records were burned and populations died of disease before Europeans even reached them because the diseases reached neighboring populations first. Neither European scholars nor Western governments are truly interested in knowing or reporting the true cost of their invasion. Lastly, what metric is being used to determine the cause of the genocide or the length of time, and who was/is affected may vary. When do we stop counting the deaths of native people? Just the first 100, 200 or 400 years? Or when their all gone? Do those loosing the habitats in the Amazon today count? Do we count the wars? Do we count the policies, like ethnic whitening?
If it were my people... We're counting it all.

Ottoman slavery, slavic slavery, nordic slavery, african slavery, asian slavery etc etc etc etc. Everyone enslaved everyone, but africans had it the worst.
@@biscotti4017 .. true, even today the slave trade in Africa goes on.
@The W Because it is estimated that over the period of the atlantic slave trade, around 110 million of them were trafficked into slavery from their continent to places like the Americas and europe, 10% of which survived. Based on these statistics it is estimated that around 99 million africans died during travel due to the horrible conditions they were subjected to on the boats they were travelling on. They were abused in various way on these boats as well as upon arrival. The arab slave trade had certain rules in place in regards to the treatment of slaves, the atlantic slave trade did not. Those people were de humanized to such a despicable point that it would most likely get me flagged on a youtube comment section if I began to list the atrocities that occured on those boats.

Hello Ms. Johnson
Facts
As someone who lives in Africa, this probably only applies to the most northern African countries close to the Middle East region. For the other countries, they weren't a threat; it was simply the fact that they could get resources that they didn't have, and at that time, we as Africans didn't truly understand how valuable those resources were or just didn't have the weapons or technology to fight back, so they took advantage of that.
Those Tribes are infected by the Colonizations..... get rid of that & they'll be great 👍
It's all redundant anyway if u really break it down. A man's self sufficient labor is replaced by a commodity that is worked and produced by others giving profits to the man who sold the commodity. Often this profit exceeds the necessary amount for survival or sustainability and ironically isn't enough for the workers to be self sufficient. In short. Selling or exploiting resources is a scam to avoid self sustaining labor. All u need to do is convince the workers that they took have a chance to have overabundance. Smdh. See documentary : Everything is a rich man's trick! 💯
If you don't write your own history then others will write for you . Africa is a continent no a country many civilizations have risen and fallen . So what makes you think that Africans did not know the use of those resources when most valuable resources were given value
@bundj5463 are african empires camparable to asian ones? (In everyway)
The last point about the fact that Africans were not seeking world domination during the period in history when other continents were in a race for world domination is a very important point.
💯💯💯
Your comment needs to be pinged. We literally was helping people , taught Europe how to bath and pulled them out of the dark ages.
Can’t be emphasized enough. In hindsight, maybe we should’ve joined the race, maybe then we wouldn’t have been treated the way we are.

I highly appreciate and commend the program. The frank and progressive discussion of our quintessential identity as negroes has, in the last 50 years, been put on the backburner because of our own collective and individual insecurities, disunity, fear and repression. The philosophical teachings of Pan-Africanism has been all but abandoned. This documentary gives me hope that one day, we may yet again have the intellectual capacity and will to re-examine and continue the works of such Pan Africanists Marcus Garvey and W.E.B Dubois.
“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”
― Marcus Garvey
Pan Africanism has always been ridiculous, it's a diverse continent with most conflict & oppression occurring from other neighbors within the continent. It also creates a division between Africans abroad and the nations they should be assimilating, focusing on twisted narratives instead of self responsibility & improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. As a black American female I was educated today. I have always felt that Africans were not trying for domination. It is the greed of the Arabs and Europeans that has ruined Africa. Not the Africans themselves. They are fighting to save their land. ❤️
Unfortunately, we’re not innocent. We ruined ourselves with arrogance, which may be worse than greed.
While this is true to some degree, the many kings of Africa that contacted Europeans and Arabs were fully willing to sell their best craftsmen and workers to them for their own gain.
Africa is not ruined. Foreign powers keep saying that Africa is poor while they have been getting rich in Africa for centuries.
Look up tippu tip. Yes there were black slave sellers/ owners
Know that the Europeans didn’t take slaves from Africa. They kidnapped, tricked, did bogus trades, etc. to steal only the strongest of Africa’s most precious assets; its strongest peoples. They took scholars, engineers, alchemists, medical doctors, scientists, etc., and MADE them slaves. They took ONLY the best the Motherland had, and thereby ensured their success. The ability to continue the rape, murder, theft of everything they could find, and make a dollar on. In addition to leaving the entire Continent in the hands of the children. All of the elders, on most of the Continent have been annihilated-through famine (created), diseases brought by the Europeans (like in the Americas) and a whole host of other causes/issues.
Professor James Smalls calls it, "A culture of anti-African terrorism." I totally agree. The research literature supports that statement.

@@Dreadboi1990 Until the Scramble for Africa in the 1900's, much of the African inland was untouched by Europeans or Arabs, so for the claim to be made that Africa was a historical threat is not very accurate. Even port cities have only been established since the 1500's by Portuguese explorers. Most enslavement of people in Africa was conducted by neighboring enemy Kingdoms or Tribes.
The Cress Welsing Theory is solely part of the American experience. And not very historical in its approach. It's based more-so on speculation and psychological guesses.

Africans outside of north africa were looked at like a snack not a threat. The sahara and non arid regions kept the western, central, and southern africans relegated to their tribal societies, instead of intermingling and trading with the developing nations and they stayed underdeveloped for thousands of years. Even the greeks and romans knew there were land and resources and a easily dominated people on the other side of the sahara but they found it too difficult to cross for the sake of colonization. If the sahara wasnt a physical obstacle that kept those africans seperate from the rest of the world they would have adapted over time and been on equal footing with the north africans and Eurasians and could have defended themselves against abuse. They tried to enslave Egyptians, Libyans, algerians, and tunisians too, but they were saavy and prepared and frankly they were used to be slaveowners already. They couldnt do it so they had to go further south and out west where people were more simple and society was based on basic survival, instead of the arts, politics, and military. Same way native american and south american tribes that were isolated for thousands of years also fell victim to domination. Because they were isolated and knew nothing about the modern world. Humans grow and learn more the larger and more interconnected the communities are. If you are only connected to your tribes you only know what your people know, whereas egyptians learned and shared knowledge and trade with macedonians, asians, levantines, and eurasians. Africa as a whole is just now learning and getting on an equal playing field. And its not africans fault or anything its just they lived in a tribal and hunter gatherer society for too damn long and werent exposed to other ideals and lifestyles

Fear is the ultimate motivator of the oppressor. The oppressor does not realize that while they are preoccupied with the actions of black people oh, it is their own fear that is their greatest enemy and their ultimate Destroyer.
No the main factor behind oppressive behaviour that created the Atlantic slave trade was greed and the yearning for significant wealth by those black African leaders who helped the Colonial European white countries to also gain significant wealth in the new world.
@@peterpereira3653 if what you say is true, then why is it the oppressive Behavior did not end with the transatlantic slave trade?
No black African leaders thought it was necessary to destroy Black Wall Street or Implement Jim Crow in the US
No black African leaders made the decision to pay reparations to former slave masters in the aftermath of the Civil War while depriving free black people their 40 acres and a mule the US govt promised them.
How many black African leaders have had a hand in perpetuating oppression here in the United States for the last 400 plus years?
If the Greed of Black African leaders are responsible, was this greed also responsible for the European colonization of African nations as well during the 18th 19th and 20th Centuries?
How many Black African leaders were invited to German Chancellor Bismarck's
Berlin Conference to divide up the African continent and place it under European colonial rule, ensuring the European nations would not fight each other over African resources?
If the greed of black African leaders are the root oppression as you have stated, I find it interesting that centuries after the transatlantic slave trade ended, many of those same black African leaders found themselves being colonized by European nations after they sold tribes they conquered into slavery under the coercion of European powers that if they weren't provided slaves, they would provide guns to their neighboring tribes and those tribes will defeat them and sell them into slavery.
Seems to me that European colonizers had guns and they use this to manipulate the fears a black African leaders that they and their particular tribe could be essentially enslaved
The European colonizers put it into the mind of the black African leaders it is either you or your neighboring tribe but I am enslaving black people and I don't care who.
The greed of black African leaders is definitely a component of the slave trade that is usually solely focused on by white imperialists as a method to deflect and minimize the brutality savagery and barbarism implemented by white European leaders.
It also stand to reason that Africa has 100 times more resources than the European continent,
and all of the centuries of oppression is rooted in black african leaders greed?
Logically this makes no sense.

May I also add beyond the physical wealth, we have an internal wealth that makes us an even more serious threat. The ability for us to make something out of nothing, to survive gracefully while no one is looking, and our rhythm.
A mind blowing perspective. It makes me think further....
That quote;
“Against camels mange use tar, against poverty make a trip to Sudan”- Sheikh Anta Diop.
I wonder. Do they also see blacks in the diaspora also as a resource of wealth? Bescause, everywhere where blacks in the diaspora lives, you find Arabs, chinese and Indian stores that are profit of our wealth.
Maybe it’s not only the land they see as wealth, but the people as well.
I don't understand the quote. Maybe u can explain to me. I have my own idea what is trying to convey, maybe u can explain to. me
It’s not maybe it is. If you took any black history classes this is common ground. Black culture from the pyramids to the dollar bill and America’s symbols came from African culture. Black people built America politically, economically, and physically. Ultimately europeans knew this and feared black people and despised their power, leading to jim crow and current say issues. Blessings
@@hunterklugh5067 I agree with you. I’m still catching up on America’s history which to so complex in details. The documentary on Netflix, Amend, hosted by Will Smith is giving me much new information on the amendments and how it went down.
how is it your wealth when it was taken from you by force. By definition it's not your property anymore
Bruh, the arabs literally give you a complement and you go "nooooooo, they're using us for wealth!".
Africans were also known in ancient times as strong warriors. Which is why the Arabs used them as soldiers. Even today, our physique and athleticism is unmatched
Then how come no African has won a strongman competition? Like world's strongest man? I'd argue the Nordic peoples are the ones with dominant physique and strength because they're not only taller, but are able to build good muscle mass without looking lanky. And I'm a black guy lol
@@GeneralLocooo Nordic are very strong
@@GeneralLocooo Africans also don't also play hockey, tennis, golf or swim much. If more Africans were to enter those strong man competitions, they would easily dominate the Nordic people. Look at how Serena Williams dominated tennis after they finally allowed us to compete alongside with them.. Not all Africans are lanky. West and Central Africans typically aren't lanky. There's a reason why most non- black countries in the last Olympics used mostly black and African descended people to represent their countries..
@@GeneralLocooo Mark Henry, ever heard of him?...and tbh black men don’t train for shit like that. But what we actually do train for athletically, we dominate. Stop playing
@@GeneralLocooo Karen or Kevin stop you Look sounds .. and uneducated listen your opinion those not matter .. move on and say nothing again 🙄
Love it. I just wish the video was longer and more detailed, but I love the perspective you took! Looking forward to more of your vids!
Good broher! I thank you so much for your perspective! I have done challenging study and found some of it painful. Your perspective is clear and opens the path for a guided study. I concur with you and offer blessings and prosperity for looking after all of us!
I love the fact this video has 700k plus views says a lot of us is not lost... We’re looking for answers ⭕️💪🏾🤞🏾💯
I’m not of African descent and watching this
"Are", not is. King
SEEK AND YOU'LL FIND KNOCK AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPENED
Some of them who are here are agents of white supremacy.
There's only two things in the whole world , one good and the other is bad , One is right and the other is wrong . The Great-GOD has children on this earth , Satan has children on this earth too .
Your analysis was spot on. The only way we can reverse what all has happened:
1. We have to agree that all blacks have a unified identity. Right now, we are fighting among ourselves (Africans vs. African Americans, Jamaicans vs. Trinidadian & Panamanians, Haitian vs. Dominicans, etc....)
2. We need Education, education, education. We need to build schools that will be centered around black culture, black religion, black history. World history and the role Africans and their descendents played in shaping and defining it.
😎
Mm I totally agree with you
Even the school system is rigged and must be changed in order to teach blacks who they truly are from within to without
@@tactics7058 I mean we, ourselves need to build our own schools like the jewish orthodox schools in brooklyn, NY. There are dozens of privately funded elementary, middle schools and high schools specifically for jewish children. That is what we need to do.
thanks for the first point but not the second.... WE DONT NEED ANY SCHOOL. we had our ways of learning not this colonial system.
Spot on 💯💯💯🚀🚀🚀
This should be taught all around every school
Because We are the origine , the roots of humanity !
That was one of the most enlightening, enjoyable and awakening documentaries I have ever watched and Listened to . My God.....thank you for that my bro, well needed, and well received!!
What a thoughtful and well constructed piece of work, my friend. You nailed the linkage and suffrage of black people all across the world. We only stand to gain once we adjoin, as you suggest. I'm grateful to hear the youthfulness of your voice as it assures me the fight to free our people everywhere will live on.
This channel Is better than any university
Lol
So true
So you studied at every University?
Can't really confirm his sources
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Great video brother, Thank you. Keep it up. 🙏🏾
I always find your historical research and perspective to be enlightening. I will be supporting your Patreon account so that you can keep creating such great content! Thank you!
Brother the answers are all in your message. One love from Jamaica keep educating bro 👊
It sounds like the TRUTH to me. That's why I walk around with my head high, because I know its all jealousy.
No it's not. Neither is it the truth. It's a tiny piece of a more complex picture. They didn't conquer because of jealousy.
But keep your head high!
@@sahneschnitzel6995 Lower your head a little bit. he was citing first - hand accounts of scholars of the ancient world. Your passive aggressive attempt at dismantling his points makes me think you're a little...heated?
@@eddybetts1099 I lower nothing. He was citing some greek whites and put it in non-comparable ways.
Grow yourself a brain, lowlife.
@@eddybetts1099 he used like 3 peoples sources, and nun of which had any actual proof to their theories, and I would hardly call anyone from the 1700’s “ancient”😭. I mean Charles Darwin literally wrote in the descent of man how he thought black people were more closely related to Gorillas than humans, so obliviously just because someone has a theory or idea doesn’t mean it’s instantly verified because it was from a time before we were here.
So more than just spout out half baked shit that even the people who first proposed the ideas you mention don’t even believe, how about you find ACTUAL evidence like real historians do. Not fringe sources of unproven Theories.
@@sahneschnitzel6995 Your right, Snaked and Decieved after we civilized and helped the European (CC) nevertheless it's your perspective so matter how flawed
Great video!
My opinion on Africa not being a super power as they have resources and knowledge. Is simply they lack unity, as a whole, or even within their own countries. My wife is Ethiopian and they are on the brink of civil war, just tribal power struggles and fight for national language. They still have a few hundred spoken languages.
Unfortunately most empires collapsed from within, unfortunately for Africa they had limited power globally due to constant internal collapse.
Thanks
That could partly explain the lack of prosperity in Africa. However, europeans have always fought one another - until they took over Africa and sliced it. Seems that they got greedier and welcome to 20th Century and 2 World Wars...
You're completely ignoring the human capital at play in different cultures and civilisations, different ethnicities aren't interchangeable you can't just see that Europe or East Asia have succeeded so naturally black Africans must also posess this potential. The rest of the Human population left Africa between 60,000-100,000 years ago. The differences are significant, and I don't know if it's helpful for Africans to draw parrallels between themselves and other people's. It's not as simple as we're all the same so are destined to have our turn one day. The model of technological advancement in the rest of the world isn't really relevant to a population that wouldn't have got their on their own.
@@charliecatesby3346 Africa's have literally invented much technology that Europeans didn't, even while being slaves. The list of black inventors is quite long, as are the list of medical feats. The greatest surgeons and medical researchers in the world are black.
You may not mean to be condescending, but your lack of knowledge on the topic of Africans is quite impressive...
This makes sense because when the Ancient Greeks travelled it seem that everywhere they went they found "Ethiopian" or "Black: Burnt Faced People" take India as an example. As far east as they went they found the Dravidians classifying them as "Eastern Ethiopians".
Then take the European expansion in the 14th Century to the 18th Century. Nearly everywhere they went they either found black looking people in places such as: Australia, India, almost all the islands of Oceania. Then they next ethnic group they found in mass was darker skinned Mongoloid people like Southeast Asians or Native Americans.
Really when you think about it, when Europeans expanded and explored the world, they really didn't find any other "European Looking White People" beyond the continent of Europe and Central Asia. Everyone else in the world was dark skinned mongoloids or Australian looking.
Thats where the fear comes from, no one else is "White" outside of Europe and parts of Central Asia. The Greeks knew this as far back as B.C. and Europeans were reminded of this during colonization A.D. On top of this if you mix with a European the child 9 times out of 10 looks like the other "race" than "white". Southern Europeans are an example of this because they have Middle-Eastern and African blood and most Southern Europeans aren't white skinned nordic looking people. They are tanned, dark haired and dark eyed like Italians and Greeks who are considered POC (People of Color) today by they way.
Great breakdown.but the common factor all human beings.
You speak intelligently... bravo brother
Duh we all descend from them by now 🤦
Chinese, Vietnamese, coreans sand Japanese could be consider as "white" if we speak only about their skin colour, and some Indians are white too.
"We will not be replaced."
The same fear exists today.
As a former New York City high-school music teacher I taught a lot of similar content that you present. Unfortunately many African Americans don't connect all of the dots.Connecting th edots of African American /world existance is a very in depth topic. I did as much as I could in the twenty-eight years that I was a teacher.I showed my students that African American music and African American existance are one in the same and do not separate even though the mainstream media does not and will never depict such. After all, who is going to tll the truth about some one that they don't like?
Don't doubt that you planted seeds that just need a bit more watering
I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe that you was a teacher because your diction is off and all over the place. What do you mean by trying to get black americans to connect which dots? Are you talking about our connection to our African ancestors? Last I checked actual african people don't like us and don't see us as africans. They set themselves apart from us when they come here. So I don't know what you mean about us black americans not connecting the dots.
@@jasminetalford1734 I'm an African and Every member of my family or African I've crossed paths with personally, see AAs as our Brothers. I have no idea where people like you keep generating this idea that Continental Africans don't like African-Americans.
Simply meeting one or 2 persons who don't like you does not determine the sentiment of the entire continent.
@@jasminetalford1734 but African Americans does the same thing too. Can you imagine a black man telling another black man to " go back where you came from? " So ridiculous! I am from the Caribbean but African, my ancestors were captives of the colonizers. But I love and adore my fellow Africans. Wish I was born anywhere in Africa but it was the Lord's will. But to even stoop so low and point out the gentle man's dictation is very disgusting. After all he wouldn't know everything unlike you who does. And besides this is the internet we all write in short forms. This is why white ppl look at us from the side of their eyes bcuz a lot of us hate one another. Smh!
No one viewed them as a 'threat'
North Africans don't want no association with the rest of Africa, geographically, genetically & culturally they're more Mediterranean! Such Nonsense lol
Imagine European Knights, Conquistadors, janissary (turkey), Viking or Asian warriors like Samurai (Japanese) viewing tribes of Zulus with wodden spears and mud hut villages as a 'threat' 😂😂
I would love to use some of your presentation, as a source for a history class I teach.
🤣🤣 yea rite go ahead & try to incorporate it into your work
I say go for it.
H said don't take it seriously
I have used this content for students in an Africana studies course. They are great resources!
children of cain
Much RESPECT My BROTHER, you expressed that so eloquently
Moving as one, in my humble opinion, is the most direct way to building our own wealth. Thanx for sharing your perspective. Well thought out.
Dr. John Henrik said he learned a lot of African history from Cheika Diop.
Never flaunt your wealth. Mansa Musa flaunted the wealth of the Malian empire and it was stolen. Now Mali is said to be amongst the poorest countries in the world.
@@jeanduncan5614 and they just found a mountain of gold last month. lol
if us black people would just unite we will be stronger than ever before and imagine the things we can do and accomplish
The possibilities would be literally Infinite
Divide and conquer has and is working. Just like they did with the field workers and the house servants. Today the enslavement is of the mind. Control the mind and victory is assured.
Religion and language are the main things that divide us.
Been thousands of years what u guys waiting for ?
@@jacklantern7479 Its an ingenious plan. Make you think we are waiting. Complacency makes you vulnerable.
I agree 100%. The people that are threaten by our existence, know our history and what we are capable of doing more than we do.
Your story telling of african history is extraordinary and immersive. Congrats, you earned a new subscriber brotha!
Because of recourses being easily available to the African it isn’t in his/her nature to to exploit and oppress. Whereas those from harsher climates are ruthless in their fight for recourses. It makes sensei me when you look at it from an evolutionary standpoint
Yeah, nothing great, all humans came from africa, from the mayans to the asians, all of them developed more then africans, it's not anyone fault but theirs.
@@destruction1928 Yawn
Africans are the first people on this earth. We are God's children. This needs to be accepted and understood by all people.
then white people arrive from space and toke over the world buhh buhh cry me a river ...
God's chosen are under the curses in the book of Deuteronomy 28:15 onwards and they won't be recognized as it was also prophesized at the foundation of the world, see Numbers 23:9 "For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations." Only Yahawa can save you and the end times prophesies speaks directly to you see Zephaniah 2:1 "“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;”... nation in the bible means race..who is that race not and dwelling alone among the nations? Scattered to all kingdoms as slaves? see Luke 21:24 "“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."
Haha
Muhammad peace and blessing upon him said in his last sermon to the people: "All humans are descended from Adam and Eve, There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.”
It is understood & accepted. That’s where the jealousy & fear arise from and continue to arise. It needs to be overstood...
im so glad i found this channel. afro-history is something sorely underrepresented and i am so excited to learn more about this portion of human history
I just happened to find this site this morning! I am grateful for the work you are doing. Keep up the good work. I will look for ways to support your work. I already shopped at the store!!
We will get everything that was once ours back and that’s on prophecy.
Absolutely!
What are you talking about your using the internet and you tube right now
Oh yes definitely we will, and those who did us wrong know it too that that time is fast approaching, that's why they catch feelings when our greatness is highlighted
@@de-sh109 nah
Saying this is the equivalent of when Christians say Jesus is coming lol
