The African Moors Sparked the European Renaissance!
Ruling Spain, Southern France, much of Scotland and North Africa during the Middle Ages for 700 years, the Black African Moors gave Europe one of its finest civilizations. The story of the Moors in Spain by Stanley Lane-Poole, John Jackson writes: “Eurocentric historians argue that Europe gave civilization to Africa, which is a complete inversion of the truth. The first civilized Europeans were the Greeks, who were chiefly civilized by the Africans of the Nile Valley. The Greeks transmitted this culture to the Romans, who finally lost it, bringing on a dark age of 500 years. Civilization was restored to Europe when another group of Africans, the Moors, brought this Dark Age to an end. During the Golden Age of Islam, the Moorish Empire was the most advanced state in world. Cordova was the most wonderful city of the tenth century; the streets were well paved, with raised sidewalks for pedestrians, public baths numbered in the hundreds, at a time when cleanliness in Christian Europe was regarded as a sin. Moorish monarchs dwelt in splendid palaces, while the crowned heads of England, France and Germany, lived in big barns, lacking both windows and chimneys, with only a hole in the roof for the emission of smoke.”
The Moors had an insatiable lust for knowledge and acquired it from East and West, translating into Arabic all they could find, even ransacking monasteries for rare books. One king had a private library of 600,000 books! In Moorish Spain, education was available to the most humble, while in Christian Europe, 99% of the populace were illiterate, including Kings. The incredible city of Cordova had 800 public schools. The Moors made great advances in mathematics, physics, astronomy, medicine, botany and chemistry.
The Moors also introduced the first shooting mechanisms or rifles known as fire sticks – which revolutionized European military science, ultimately causing their downfall when their enemies used gun powder to drive them back into Africa. Their contribution to European civilization is vast – with no credit given to them. For more details, read The Golden Age of the Moors (Ivan Van Sertima) and The History of the Moorish Empire in Europe
What European historians are trying to hide or deny is that the Greek civilization was primarily the offspring of the advanced Black African civilization of ancient Egypt which preceded it by thousands of years. So-called Greek philosophy is stolen Egyptian philosophy!
The Greek plagiarism of Egyptian science, philosophy and religion is well doc**ented by George James in Stolen Leagacy. Egypt was the greatest educational center in the ancient world. Black Egyptians educated the Greeks. Black Egyptian priests taught the best minds of Europe; Plato, Thales, Aristotle, Democritus, Anaximander, Solon and others.
The Ethiopians and Egyptians originated Mathematics and Trigonometry. The African Moors originated Algebra and developed Trigonometry into a science. The word Algebra is derived from “Al-Jabr wa’l Muqabala,” the title of the first textbook on the subject. From the name of the Black author,”Al-Khowarizmi” we get the word algorithm (a math procedure). The Arabic numbers we use today came fromt he ancient Arab people who were originally
Black Africans! -and many of them still are! All of the elements of civilization first began in Africa, including religion, art, science, government, mining, writing, mathematics, architecture, engineering, and agriculture. Dr. Charles Nelson at the University of Massachusetts states that animal domestication occurred in Kenya 15,000 years ago; and that agricultural sites have been carbon dated in Egypt to 18,000 BC.
The oldest numeration system was found in Zaire, with markings on the Ishango Bone
dated 8000 BC. She also said that the people were familiar with prime numbers
and multiplication by two since the markings were paired at 3-6, 4-8, and 5-10.
Astronomy and astrology are believed to have existed for almost 50,000 years. The oldest stellar calendar is dated 4241 BC. It has 365 1/4 days and 12 months with 30 days in each month. The ancient Africans were also the first to divide the day into 24 hours and to begin the day at midnight.
African medical textbooks have been found that are over 5,000 years old. Ancient Africans were very well versed in medical diagnosis and treatment with as many as 1,000 animal, plant and mineral products used in the treatment of illness

Something ever more interesting
As a continuation from the last posts
This is about the first people of Europe were prehistoric Africans. They lived mostly in the southern parts of Europe, and created many paintings and cave art throughout the region.
Pretentious scholars struggling with their self-inflicted racist diseases attach ill-fitting names to the first peoples of Europe. They call them funny names like Neanderthals, Paleolithic men, Mesolithic or Neolithic, Cro-Magnons, Grimaldi, Aurignicians, in a desperate bid to hide the cultural and historical identity of those people.
It is generally conceded by those scholars however, that the African people were the bearers of the first substantive elements of culture into the European continent.
Many thousands of years before the rise of the current pale tribes of Europe, an Afrocoid people known as the Grimaldi people, established the Aurignacian cultures. These people were anatomically modern human beings of the West African typology. They brought the first indications of cultural thoughts and rites into Europe.
The Grimaldi were Black Africans with very little body hair, black and smooth skin; they had the facial features typical of West African forest dwellers. They had kinky hair too. They arrived in Europe 40,000 to 50,000 years ago.
They ranged in height from tall to medium. Their culture had developed in Africa tens of thousands of years before they moved to Europe. It was called the Arugnician Culture. In 1994, scientists found corroborating evidence of stone and bone tools on the banks of the Semlike River in Zaire. They were finely crafted tools made between 75,000 to 100,000 years old long before modern humans migrated to Europe.
The Neanderthals non-modern human specie of man had left Africa early in time (80,000 years ago) and settled in central and southern Europe. It is speculated by bio-anthropologists that the genes of those Neanderthals are extensively sown in the modern European tribes of today.
According to the report released by those so-called white scientists, published and re-published in various authoritative scientific and political journals, neanderthals are the ancestors of Europeans.
They were still human enough, to have been able to interbred and reproduce biological self-perpetuating functional humans beings.
Furthermore, years of further interbreding and genetic mixing have crowded outed and diluted down the neanderthal’s legacies. According to experts the genetic flow between Neanderthals and early modern humans might have been as high as 10% to 20%, but today it is at 3% to 4%.
That is still enough to result in different cognitive, and psychological make-up, even to some extent in physical makeup.
Again to demonstrate the truth of Professor Yakub’s theory of gene manipulation, the scientists admitted that the gene flow of Neanderthal DNA into European and Asian DNA was found in only one direction: from Neanderthals to those humans. The study found no early modern human DNA in the Neanderthal genome.
According to the scientists, the Neanderthal DNA does not appear to offers any evolutionary benefit and is merely a genetic relic.
Caucasions attribute their failure of reproduction to behavioral or societal reasons. However, the reason is more a biological one. Melanin is present at the inception of life: A Melanin sheath covers both the sperm and the egg! In the human embryo, the melanocytes (skin pigment cells), brain and nerve cells all originate from the same place; the neural crest. Melanocytes resemble nerve cells and are essential for conveying energy. When Melanin is missing or insufficient in the ectoderm of the early embryo (blastula), this causes the mother to lose her baby; in the case of whites, a defective baby is produced, and over time, through inbreeding, wears down the already pathetically low levels of melanin. Reproduction stops altogether and virtual infertility is the end result.
As far as vitamin D metabolization, white people have the lowest bone density of all people on the planet. The skin is supposed to convert sunlight to Vitamin D because of 7-Dehydrocholesterol. However, white people reflect the sunlight so that the body compensates by depleting calcium from their bones. It makes whites more susceptible to kidney stones than any other race of people. The depletion of bone mass is responsible for their low bone density. It is widely regarded that black people have the strongest bones of all people from infancy to old age.
Melanin has been proven to not only refine the human reproductive system and nervous system, but melanin also plays an important part in sight and hearing. Blue eyes are simply eyes that lack melanin. Blue eyes are more sensitive to sunlight and do not process light or produce sight as efficiently as brown eyes. Isn’t it funny how many people place divine qualities with blue eyes that are nothing but genetically defective?
WHENCE COMETH THE PALE ONE
There are many theories which seek to explain the reason for the switch in skin color of the Europeans. The theories proposed range from the Ice-Age effect theory, to those of miscegenation and others that suggest malnutrition. In all these theories lies the admission that the pale skin is a relatively recent genetic modification that occurred in originally Black Europe.
One of the more interesting propositions suggest that the change from black to pale Europe occurred as a result of miscegenation between the modern Africans arrivals in Europe and the primordial Neanderthal which had originally come from Africa. It should be noted that the primordial human Neanderthal (physiologically and intellectually) said to be among the ancestors of Europeans and Caucasians, also came from Africa to Europe about 80,000 years ago. Thus, the Neanderthal, which had apparently been forced to Eurpe from out of Africa, was also of the African genotype.
Some theories suggest that Neanderthals (who were originally black as all original Africans) later became pale-skinned and retained excessive body hair due to genetic selection responding to the need to adapt to the cold and darkness of Ice-Age Europe.
The modern day Europeans are the products of interbreeding between these mutated pale skin Neanderthals (i.e. mutated non modern-human Africa) and the later arriving modern black Africans of 40,000 -10,000 years ago i.e. the Grimaldis.
Warm blooded animals undergo de-pigmentation in the absence of light and warmth. If there were no Ice Age in Europe, the people would have remained Africoid/Black. Some of the darkest Africoid peoples still exist as the Australian Aborigines and Tasmanians. Their ancestors left Africa in the same waves as the Africans that went to Europe. It appears that of the anatomically modern human Africans who had migrated around the globe, those in the warmer southern climates retained their African pigmentation and those in the Northern climates lost theirs as a result of miscegenation with the pale skinned Neanderthals, who it should not be forgotten were originally of the African continent.
Writer’s Note:
This article is a response to the latest hit movie, “The Gladiator,” which is only minimally factual. Historically there were far more Africans in the Roman Empire than what was depicted in the movie, but that is Hollywood and Hollywood reflects racist American culture.
The ancient Greeks and Romans did not display any hard core race prejudice as is evidenced today. What they did display was an attitude that manifested itself as that of superior toward the subordinate. The Romans were what could be considered a colonial power–actually a conquering power is better–and they brought captives from different parts of the world–especially Africa.
The point must be made at this juncture that not all Africans in Rome were slaves, or servants. On the contrary, some were writers, generals, philosophers, and emperors (a good example of a Roman general was Septimius Serverus, whom the Antiochene chronicler, John Malalas, said was dark-skinned). Moreover, a number of African slaves in Rome became prominent citizens and contributed to Roman culture.
The African in the Roman Empire worked, lived without fear of racial animosity, entertained, and in many respects worshipped the same gods at the same place of worship together with other slaves, servants and freedmen. Seneca, the Roman statesman, philosopher, and intellectual said that among his own people the African’s color was not noticeable.
It must be said that despite this statement by Seneca there was some somatic classifying of Africans, Roman group stereotyping, even Romanocentric behavior regarding the “Aethiops,” a term widely used to describe Africans. However, I will limit my brief study to the positive aspects of the Africans in Rome. I am compelled to say, however, that the amicable relationship that had existed between ancient Greece and Africa (Aethiops/Ethiopia) did not develop in a continual progressive manner between Africans and Romans. The Greeks told us through their art, literature and scholars of the greatness of Africans/Aethiops/Blacks. The Romans, on the other hand, viewed the Africans from a political and cultural perspective. This, I believe, was predicated on the fact that the Roman populace had little contact with Africans prior to conquest, and most importantly their subjugation by the African general, Hannibal of Carthage, left them with bitter memories.
Carthage had flourished for seven hundred years and was the seat of commercialism and education. The Romans after they conquered Carthage, out of jealousy, destroyed the great libraries they found at Carthage. some of the libraries (books and manuscripts) they gave to their Numidian allies. The Carthaginians had records of all their achievements. Unfortunately, the only Roman writers that referred to those manuscripts were Sallust and Pliny.
Excluding the above mentioned factors as they relate to the early behavior and attitude of the Romans’ toward the Africans, most Africans/Aethiops were acknowledged for their cultural contributions to Roman society, or rather the Roman Empire. There was no law which prohibited Africans from assuming roles of responsibility and authority.
In fact, as stated earlier, Africans became emperors, writers, philosophers, entertainers, generals and popes. After centuries of subjugating African people, the Romans became more acquainted with their subjects and their impeccable character and talents.
Historical models are: Tiro, an African born about the year 103 B. C. in Arpium, a city of Latium. He was born on the estate of Cicero, the Roman statesman and lawyer. In fact, it was Tiro who invented shorthand.
Terence, another African was born about 190 B. C. He was sent to Rome as a slave and was bought by a Roman Senator, Terentius Lucanus, who named Terence after him. He was emancipated because of his extraordinary talents. He wrote six plays and his works were studied with great interest. He was/is highly regarded as one of the greatest humanists of all time. He wrote: “Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto” (I am a man and nothing human is alien to me). Terence died in 159 B. C.
Fronto was another exceptional African writer; he taught the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, who was up to a point depicted accurately in the movie. There was Apuleius another African writer, and Slavius Julians, an African who edited the Paraetorian Edict.
On another note as it relates to our subject, Lusius Quietus was one of Rome’s greatest African generals (in the movie it is Maximus, he was of minor significance). Quietus served under Emperor Trajan. The Emperor named him his successor to the Imperial Purple. Quietus and other African soldiers defended the Dacians. Moreover, when the Jews revolted, Trajan sent Quietus to suppress the revolt, which he did with extreme severity. The Jews called the rebellion “The War of Quietus.”
Similarly, African soldiers distinguished themselves under the reign of Emperor Diocletian.
Interestingly, at least ten Africans became Emperors of Rome. They are listed on the historical record as the following: Macrinu, Firmus, Emilianus, Septimius Serverus, Pescennius Niger, Aquilus Niger, Brutidius Niger, Q. Caecilus Niger, Novius Niger, and Trebius Niger who was a proconsul in Spain. Africans were authorities on medicine and they were often quoted by Caelius Aurelianus and Galen. Other noted Africans were Domituis Afer, orator, Arnobius Afer, Christian writer; and Victorianus Afer, a scholar of rhetoric whose statue was erected in the forum of Emperor Trajan.
With regard to the subject of religion, three Africans became popes in Rome. They were Victor 189-199 A. D., Melchiades 311-312; and St. Gelasius 496 A. D. It was Victor who sent a letter to the Eastern Churches requesting them to observe Easter on the same day as the Western Churches. The Eastern Churches refused and Victor excluded them from his communion. Afterwards, Victor was killed in the sixth persecution under Emperor Serverus. It is befitting to say that all three of these African popes contributed immensely to the development of Christianity in Rome.
Continuing with religion, Saint Benedict the Moor is a saint of the Catholic Church. He was born at Fradella, a village of the Diocese of Messina in Sicily in 1526; he died April 4, 1589. His parents were slaves from Ethiopia. Because of Benedict’s religious piety, their master freed him. Furthermore, owing to his strict virtues he was made superior of the monastery of Santa Maria de Jesus at Palermo. He devoted his life to caring for the sick and needy. He became known as “The Holy Negro.” He was sought by persons from every class on matters of religion and other human concerns. He died at the age of 63; as a consequence of his God-filled life, a vigorous cult developed immediately after his death. His veneration became especially popular in Italy, Spain, and South America. The city of Palermo chose him as its patron saint. He was pronounced Blessed in 1743 by Pope Benedict XVII and was canonized in 1807 by Pope Pius VII.
In conclusion, color prejudice seems to have developed in the first century A. D. as a phase of the struggle among Christianity, Judaism, and Paganism. Furthermore, the French anthropologist, Topinard, believes the Rabbis of the fifth century were the first to stress differences of race and color. The historical record asserts that he is correct.
Topinard states, “In the first century when Christianity was beginning to establish itself in Rome the doctrine of a separate creation for whites and Africans was defended by the Babylonian Rabbis and later by Emperor Julian. In 415 A. D. when one council was debating whether the Ethiopians/Africans were descended from Adam and the theory they were not was making considerable progress, St. Augustine in his “City of God” interjected and declared that no true Christian would doubt that all men, of no matter what form, color, or height were of the same protoplasmic origin.
These early Rabbis did say with conviction that a Black skin was the result of a “curse” on them by Noah. The signs of this “curse” said the Rabbis were a “Black skin, misshapen nose, lips and twisted hair.”
Lastly, Africans in ancient Rome before the philosophical structure of color prejudice and racism, like others conquered by the Romans, were treated as captives. There is no historical record from my studies that suggest wanton cruel treatment on the basis of color or ethnicity. A slave was a slave whether he was a Syrian, Thracian, or an African.
The Romans after becoming accustomed to Africans from various parts of Africa and their varying complexions treated them with consideration and respect.

Ancient Egyptian madness began in the Western world in the 18th century. It was the result
of Western ‘Egyptologists’ (white folks) unlocking the keys to what turned out to them to be a
fantastic civilization. This civilization seemed so remarkable that Westerners (white folks)
began to portray their new gods, the Egyptians, in their own (white folks) image. Everybody
else in the world had long taken it for granted that Ancient Egypt was a black civilization, just
as they had taken it for granted that the Greeks were white, and the Chinese were…well,
Chinese. Of course, everybody else had to be shown the error of one’s common sense. Alas.
One of the ironies of this madness is that when these same white folks visit Egypt today, the
locals immediately recognize them as Khawaaga or foreigners. On the other hand, African
Americans traveling in Egypt are very often mistaken for native Egyptians, and are usually
referred to as Masri or Egyptians. That is because…
The simple truth is that Egypt is, and always has been a black African nation. Once you leave
the great Arab cities of Cairo and Alexandria, and go into the Nile valley, you are in black
Africa. Now, Egypt has been ruled by an Arab minority since the 9th century A.D., a minority
that is extremely sensitive to race, and one which behaves in the manner chided by Ahmed
Ben Bella, the late president of Algeria – “We (Arabs) have been in Africa for 1200 years, and
yet we still behave as colonialists.”
This Arab minority ruling class has also colluded with white folks in their Egyptian madness.
For centuries Egypt made money by selling mummies to Europeans. By the 18th century there
was even a thriving business in fake mummies, as powdered mummy became the rage as a
medicinal cure all. The Egyptian government put heavy taxes on the export of mummies and
did nothing to discourage the trade. It also banned the Egyptian language from public usage,
but the natives kept it alive in the liturgy of the Coptic (Gyptic) church. It meant to Arabize
the population, much as the government of the Sudan is now attempting to do in Sudan. This
is partially based upon the Arab ideology that states that if the father of a child is an Arab
then so too is the baby. It is a sad state of affairs when an inferior bastard arab and caucasion is considered more than a dog.
THERE IS NO BETTER TIME FOR REVENGE AND JUSTICE WE MUST ACT ON IT NOW, IT MUST HAPPEN NOW THERE IS NO WAIT NO REST FOR REDEMPTION, IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS NOBLE WE “HAVE” TO SEEK ALLIES ELSEWHERE IN CHINA, RUSSIA, CUBA, etc., WE CAN NOT WAIT ANY LONGER WE MUST GET REVENGE AND JUSTICE FOR OUR ANCESTOR WE MUST DO THIS IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY IF WE DON’T WE WOULD ONLY HAVE OURSELVES TO BLAME FOR THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD.

the caucasion and victimization series pt: 3 The threat is real !!!
the honky is out for you and your children caucasions fear and hate blackness, which they associate with spiritual power – a power which they can neither possess, create, nor control.
The religious sense is the recognition that we are indeed “claimed” by a universe that extends beyond the finiteness of our single, physical selves. This is where the concept of the SOUL comes in.
The relationship of Caucasian religion to other aspects of the culture is symptomatic of a persistent de-spiritualization and de-sacralization of experience and can be shown to be a characteristic of “Westerness.”
“De-sacralization,” is a necessary by-product of all of the characteristics of the Caucasian utamawazo. As nature is alienated and objectified and approached with a “quantifying mentality,” that views, the universe, as material reality only – non spiritual- to be acted upon by superior “mind.”
De-sacralization is the alienation and objectification of nature. In this view, nature becomes an adversary. This approach to reality originates in unnaturalness.
De-spiritualization is the denial of spiritual reality. The inability to experience spirit. Objectification used ideological results in the de-sacralization and despiritualization of the universe.
caucasoid race = “NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR US”
borrowed from: YURUGU: An African-Centered Critique of Caucasian Cultural Thought and Behavior There is a "stultifying" intellectual mystification that prevents, the victims, of Caucasian colonization, from THINKING in a manner that leads to authentic self-determination. Intellectual "de-colonization" is a prerequisite for the creation of successful, political decolonization and cultural reconstruction strategies. The Caucasian's (political) imperialistic success can be accredited, not so much to superior military might, as to the WEAPON of culture. Cultural supremism is, the systematic imposition of an alien culture in the attempt to destroy the will of a politically dominated people. The mechanism of cultural supremism causes cultural insecurity and self doubt within the dominated group. Separated from their ancestral legacy they lose access to their source of political resistance. To be truly liberated, non-white (black, brown, red, yellow) people must come to KNOW the nature of Caucasian thought and behavior, in order to understand the EFFECT that whites have had on our ability to THINK victoriously. Non-white people must be able to separate our thought, from Caucasian thought, so as to visualize a future that is not dominated by them. This is demanded because the FUTURE, towards which Caucasians lead us, is genocidal. EUROPEAN BEHAVIOR TOWARDS OTHERS*Theories of Euro-Caucasian Behavior: The Question of Cause"In Kovel's view the problem of 'racism' is 'part of the problem of western culture' and 'the record of history is basically of the successions of that power. All the complexities of culture are harmonics about this basic theme.(58) What happened to the thousands of years before Europeans had any power to speak of, indeed, before there was a 'Europe' at all?[indent] "It is because the dynamics of race and ethnicity are so intimately related to the European power drive that I prefer to particularize the European commitment to 'white nationalism' of 'white supremism' as a dominant component of Western European nationalism. White supremism can never be reduced to the mere definition of peoples and cultures in terms of race. Race or group consciousness, which might logically result in the desire to remain separate and distinct, is qualitatively different from an ideology that requires the physical presence and dehumanization of other peoples for the 'acting out' of a power relationship in which the actor has supreme control over those peoples. The conative striving for power as motivating factor here becomes the crucial element.[/list]" 'The power of one man or group of men over others--in our case, of white men over black--
is the single most salient thread of history,' and slavery, Kovel asserts is, 'the most extreme version
of the western symbolic matrix.'(57) Kovel does not realize it, but it takes the European world view to
understand history as being based on power relationships; such an understanding issues from a confrontational utamawazo** that
insists on definitions of dominance and submission. Nonetheless his comments bring us to the question of the relationship of what is
commonly called 'racism' to the power drive in European culture. That these two phenomena are related is clear, but the nature of that relationship is not as easily understood.
"Let us broaden the terms. The power drive is placed in the formulative and originating process of European culture. The cultural other becomes a creation of that power drive as valued behavior. 'Race'
(the concept that ambiguously links culture with the gene pool and color) is then one of the determining factors in a cultural identification and...a definitive component in the European conception of the cultural other.
"The value of any theory of white supremism, from and African-centered perspective, lies in its ability to lay bare the dynamics and centricity of the power relationship inEuropean ideology and behavior. Whether it is in the
'anal personality' theory of Joel Kovel, the Cradle theory of Cheikh Anta Diop, the psychopathic racial personality theory of Bobby Wright, or the historical analyses of W.E.B. Dubois and earlier Pan-Africanists--in each case
their value lies in the fact that they place white supremism squarely within the matrix of European ideology and biocultural development. They particularize what they call 'white racism' within the spectrum of patterns of behavior
based on the idea of race. The significant and indisputable ethnological fact in this regard is that the European conceives of the desirable power relationship in terms of his (white) supremeacy over the (black or 'colored') cultural other.
Whatever its etiology the cultural fact is that the self-image and concept of the European includes 'whiteness,' while the 'cultural other' is its dialectical opposite. Welsing points our, as does Johari Amini, that the European gives to people
of other cultures 'categories which are dysfunctional' for them.(59)
Lusius Quietus, Commander of the Imperial Cavalry of the Romano-Moorish Army: Here one finds the relief of the Moorish Cavalry of the Roman Army under Lusius Quietus, fighting against the Dacians. It was commissioned by Emperor Trajan. Lusius Quietus was a Roman general and governor of Iudaea in 117. These are the real Maures, the true Maures, the ones known to the world as the Moors. Their hair was wooly like the hair on sheep-skin. They were all dreadlocks, and fierce warriors. Their skin was dark and beautiful. Magnificient like the mystical night. Their teeth were white, like the stars of the southern hemisphere. They were the master horsemen of yore-days. The original cavalry of the Roman Empire. The Emperor of Rome was beholden to them, because the cavalry division was like the tanks and helicopters units of the modern army. Without them no wars were winnable. With them, victory was a matter of time. some examples of caucasions NOT taking responsibility for their actions : Anti- African activist frank-w-sweet shows his hatred for Africans and those of African descent by sowing the seeds of evil and hatred in his op-eds and also this so called "interracial voice". http://knol.google.com/k/the-trouble-with-racism#2(2E)_Discrimination_Caused_by_Voluntary_Group_Membership_is_of_Slight_Interest(2E) http://knol.google.com/k/the-u-s-black-white-test-score-gap-e2# http://knol.google.com/k/frank-w-sweet/the-u-s-black-white-net-worth-gap/k16kl3c2f2au/34# http://198.66.252.234/editor34.html http://198.66.252.234/editor31.html"The present study seeks to explain the pattern of European cultural (group) behavior in terms of the nature of the culture itself. We have demonstrated European behavior towards others (exploitative and destructive imperialism) and the attitude towards others (disdain, xenophobia) to be connected within the asili or logos of the culture, both to each other and to other patterns within the culture, and our objective is to understand that essential nature (asili).
"
"We must simply ask the question head on: Can it be an accident that the only people who have built an entire culture based on the dominance of others are also the only ones who are Caucasians? It doesn't matter if it is argued that some few Caucasians do not participate in this system of world-wide dominance. The generalized question begs to be asked.
"Bobby Wright an African psychologist, says simply that the collective behavior of Europeans 'reflects an underlying biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in evolutionary history.'(60) He says that the pattern of behavior that we have been describing is symptomatic of the 'pyschopathic personality,' who, usually functioning well in (European) society
is of average or below average 'intelligence'
is unable to experience guilt
has no feeling of insecurity
is unable to accept blame or to learn from experience
is sexually inadequate and has difficulty forming close personal relations
appears to be honest and human, but has only selfish motivations
has almost no ethical development
has almost total disregard for appropriate patterns of behavior
consistently ignores concepts of right and wrong
and rejects constituted authority
NOW Thankfully there are those that are updated to this sad, sad culture of caucasion victimization series,
and they are not going to stand for it.

The Factual Truth about Slavery in Africa …act II
As everyone that has ever studied the field of what is called “slavery” we all know that it was a form of punishment and nothing else it was not to ever be abused, it was to be as humane as possible and a counterpart to death as if you were the enemy and you lost a war you more than likely would be put to death therefore slavery was mean’t to be a just punishment.
caucasians were the first slaves ever
Afro-Turks, African Turks, or Turkish Africans are people of Black African descent in Turkey. “Afro-Turk” is a newly invented word as in Turkey those Black African descendants have been traditionally named as “the Arabs”. The Turkish word for this is Arapi (Arab). Today in Turkey they are additionally referred to as Afrika kökenli Türkler, a name which could hide their historical status.
It is very interesting that in Turkey, black Africans are called Arapis. It is all the more interesting when one realizes that many of the pale so-called Arabs of today, who occupy the Arabian Gulf actually have recent Turkish origins and this is often borne out by the tribal surname of many contemporary Saudis and Jordanians, the name “al-Turki”.
The link between Turkis and Arabia should be clear to anyone who has done the least research. The Turks were a Tartar tribe of Central Asia that were civilized and cultured by the noble Black-a-Muurs of southern Europe, Africa and Arabia. Prior to their contact with the Muurs, the Tartars were a nomadic, warring horde of people wandering about for millenia in the wastes of the European Steepes.
The Muurs had been their guiding lights for many hundred centuries, and their masters. Since the times of the Kemitian Egyptians and the North-East African Phoenicians, who discovered them, the Muurs had tried to culture and raise the Turkis. The Romans had used them as mecenaries and slaves between 4 B.C. and the fall of Constantinople.
Those Turkis served as slaves for the Blacks Africans. Some of them were many students in great centres of learning so that they could gain culture and science and raise their people. In this role many of them attained elightenment after many years of interaction with the black Arabs.
Furthermore, Turkis, Albanians and Georgians, sold their women all over North Africa and Arabia as concubines and sex toys to the black Arapis. In Cairo, Jerusalem and Jordan, there were huge slave markets that specialized in the trade of delicate looking pale Eastern European exotics, with which those Arabs love to play.
Turkis were employed as house servants, and even a greater number were employed as slave troops in the armies of many Islamic Caliphs in the centuries following the death of Mohammed and the growth of Islam into a religio-political empire, like the Armies of the Kharijites, the Muwaayids, the Abbassids, and the Fatimids.
In Egypt those Turkis were known as Yaansaris, or Mamelukes, and in Byzantine Romani, they were called the barbarians and the slavs.
Those Turkis, and their Eastern European counterparts, who slaved in Africa for the Black-a-Muurs eventually rebelled successfully in the 12th century in Eygpt after the black muurish Arab ruling family had fallen into decadence.
By the 13th century, the Yaanisari slaves had become entrenched in Egyptian political and military affairs. They had a plan for long term occupation and domination of black Africa, so they immediately imlemented a policy of systematic ethnic seeding to increase their share of the demographics, while simulatneously practicing ethnic cleansing of indigenous black population.
Hundreds of thousands of white slaves were brought into Egypt by the Turkis, the Mamelukes or the Yaanisaris. They were brought into Egypt to shore up the number of the slave whites who had conquered Egypt once again from within.
For more than seven straight centuries, those Turkis and their descendants livng in Egypt and North Africa, have fought and strived to swell their numbers and root into a land that is obviously uneasy with their presence. Between the 12th century A.D. when the mamelukes grabbed power from their Black masters, until today, there has been an ongoing attempt to whiten Eygpt completely, no, to Turkify Egypt.
Those Turkis still hold power in the elite circles of Egypt, with the help of the European Union which promotes global white supremacy.
However, today those Turki Yanisaaris and Mameluke descendants would wish to disguise themselves with the more neutral identity of Arab. And this is the very reason why there are so many pale “Arabs” in Egypt and surrounding countries. From Jordan, to Saudi Arabia, to Oman and Muscat, “the Al Faisal-Al Turki” tribe of people, answering to that very surname dominate. Those “Al-Turkis” claim they are indigenous Arabs.
Yet, in the country they stole from the destroyed Roman Empire, aka modern day Republic of Turkey, the Al-Turkis of Turkemenistan and Central Europe, acknowledge without hassle that the real Arabs are those Black African-looking types, who live and have lived since the beginning of time, on the coast of East Africa and Arabian Pennisula.
Hence we find it most interesting that in Turkey, Turkish Black Africans are known by their original, ancient national name the Arapis, the Arabs.
The Turkis are no fools. They and the pale Persians are the only serious wannabe Arabs on earth. Despite their incongourous pale skin in the desert background, they have convinced many that they are indeed the children of the desert, the children of Ishameel and Hagar.
Yet, in Turkey, when a true Turki beholds one of those ancient Muurs of the Great Ta Muuria (Africa), they back off and hail them up as “Arabi”.
Know you therefore today all ye Ethiopian Black-a-Muurs:
That we are the Arabs, the Muurs, the Kemitians, the Ethiopians, the Saebians, the Indians, the Mela-nasians, and the first Asians all the way to China and Japan.
We are the original people…we must reclaim our memories, our legacy, and our place in history.
Many ancient and medieval writers commented on how skin color correlated with intelligence. To the shock of many modern readers the Greeks and Romans equated dark skin with intelligence and lighter skin with stupidity. The Greek historian Lucian (125?-90) wrote that the Ethiopians (name for all black people), “Being in all else wiser than other men,” invented astrology and taught it to the Egyptians.1 Aristotle (398-332BC) believed that, “The races that live in…. Europe are full of courage and passion but somewhat lacking in skill and brain power2 …Those who are too black are cowards, like for instance, the Egyptians and Ethiopians. But those who are excessively white are also cowards…The complexion of courage is between the two.” 3 Aristotle believed, liked many Greeks and Romans, that they lived in the perfect, “mid-position geographically,” between the intelligent, yet cowardly dark skinned southerners, and brave, yet dull pale-skinned northerners.
Vitruvius Polio (1st century BC) in his book, On Architecture, wrote the following passage about the different innate attributes of people:
“Now while the southern peoples are of acute intelligence and infinite resource, they give way when courage is demanded because their strength is drained away by the sun; but those who are born in colder regions by their fearless courage are better equipped for the clash of arms, yet by their slowness of mind they rush on without reflection, and through lack of tactics are balked of their purpose…Italy presents good qualities which are tempered by admixture from either side both north and south, and are consequently unsurpassed. And so, by its policy, it curbs the courage of the northern barbarians; by its strength, the imaginative south. Thus the divine mind has allotted to the Roman state an excellent and temperate region in order to rule the world.”4
There are many examples of the Greeks and Romans’ high regards for the intelligence of black people. In Heliodorus’s play, an Ethiopian King was a model of wisdom, righteousness, and magnanimity.5 In Homer’s Odyessy, Odysseus’s herald Eurybates–who has black skin and wooly hair–was renowned for his wisdom.6 Lucian mentioned a thoughtful Negro scribe from Memphis named Pancrates.7 Aesop, the famous fable writer was described as an Ethiopian.8 The Roman writer Terrence, who achieved great fame as a comic poet after arriving in Rome as a slave, was described as having dark and black skin. Terrence was accepted into Rome’s elite circles and his daughter married a Roman knight.9
Strabo placed Taharqa, one of the kings of the Black-Nubian-Egyptian 25th dynasty, among one of the world’s greatest military tacticians.10
Many Arabs in the Middle Ages believed they were superior mentally to all people–they showed contempt for lighter and darker skinned people–although they seemingly held blacks in higher esteem than whites. The Muslim scholar Sa’id al-Andalusi wrote: “They (whites) lack keenness of understanding and clarity of intelligence, and are overcome by ignorance and dullness, lack of discernment, and stupidity.”11
A Muslim writer in the 10th century wrote that Iraqis were the most intelligent and attractive people. “The people of Iraq have sound minds…a proficiency in every art…and a pale brown color, which is the most apt and proper color…They do not come out with something between blond, blanched and leprous coloring, such as the infants dropped from the wombs of the women of the Slavs and others of light complexion; nor are they overdone in the womb until they are burned…such as the Ethiopians and other blacks…. The Iraqis are neither half-baked dough nor burned crust, but between the two.” 12
The Asian Mongols also believed that whites were innately inferior. Between 1237 and 1242 the Mongols ruled over Russia and much of central Europe. They grew wealthy selling white slaves. In the Middle Ages Russians and other Slavic people were the primary source of slaves in the Mediterranean world–The word slave even derives from the word Slav.13 To the surprise of many, there can be little doubt that black people in the Mid-East and Egypt owned white slaves.

Something even more interesting
Medieval Attitudes on African| Morality
The high esteem the ancients held blacks carried on into the Middle Ages. Ibn Battuta, writing about the 14th century West African Kingdom of Mali, recorded: “The small number of acts of injustice that one finds there, for the Africans are of all peoples those who most abhor injustice…Complete and general safety one enjoys throughout the land.”26 Furthermore, he recorded that; “Their sultan shows no mercy to anyone who is guilty of the least act of it. There is complete security in the country. Neither traveler nor inhabitant in it has anything to fear from robbers or men of violence. They do not confiscate the property of any white (meaning Arab) man who dies in their country, even if it be uncounted wealth. On the contrary, they give it into the charge of some trustworthy person among the whites (Arabs), until the rightful heir takes possession of it.”27
Writing in 1622 about the Kingdom of Benin, a kaaskoop, Olfert Dapper, recorded that, “These Africans…are people who have good laws and a well-organized police; who live on good terms with the Dutch and other foreigners who come to trade among them, and to whom they show a thousand marks of friendship.”28
In the 1480′s the king of Benin sent an ambassador to Portugal who was described by the Portuguese as, “a man of good speech and natural wisdom” who, “desired to learn more about these lands.” They said that, “the arrival of people from…his country being regarded as an unusual novelty.”29
Portugal and Benin had excellent relations. Duarte Pires, a royal agent in Benin, wrote in 1516, “The favour which the king of Benin accords us is due to his love of your highness; and thus he pays us high honour and sets us at table to dine with his son, and no part of his court is hidden from us but all the doors are open.”30 Pires also recorded that the king of Benin, “ordered a church to be built in Benin; and they made them Christians straightway; and also they are teaching them to read, and your highness will be very pleased to know that they are very good learners.”
A European traveler around 1680 recorded that the people of the Guinea Coast are, “very civil and good-natured people, easy to be dealt with, condescending to what Europeans require of them in a civil way, and very ready to return double the presents we make them.”32
Following a visit to the court of the Ugandan king in 1875, Henry Morton Stanley wrote that the king was neither, “tyrannous savage,” nor “wholesale murderer,” as had been told in European fables, “but a pious Mussulman and an intelligent humane king reigning absolutely over a vast section of Africa, loved more than hated, respected more than feared.”33
What European historians are trying to hide or deny is that the Greek civilization was primarily the offspring of the advanced Black African civilization of ancient Egypt which preceded it by thousands of years. So-called Greek philosophy is stolen Egyptian philosophy!
The Greek plagiarism of Egyptian science, philosophy and religion is well doc**ented by George James in Stolen Leagacy. Egypt was the greatest educational center in the ancient world. Black Egyptians educated the Greeks. Black Egyptian priests taught the best minds of Europe; Plato, Thales, Aristotle, Democritus, Anaximander, Solon and others.
The Ethiopians and Egyptians originated Mathematics and Trigonometry. The African Moors originated Algebra and developed Trigonometry into a science. The word Algebra is derived from “Al-Jabr wa’l Muqabala,” the title of the first textbook on the subject. From the name of the Black author,”Al-Khowarizmi” we get the word algorithm (a math procedure). The Arabic numbers we use today came fromt he ancient Arab people who were originally
Black Africans! -and many of them still are! All of the elements of civilization first began in Africa, including religion, art, science, government, mining, writing, mathematics, architecture, engineering, and agriculture. Dr. Charles Nelson at the University of Massachusetts states that animal domestication occurred in Kenya 15,000 years ago; and that agricultural sites have been carbon dated in Egypt to 18,000 BC.
The oldest numeration system was found in Zaire by Dr. Jean de Heinzelin with markings on the Ishango Bone dated 8000 BC. She also said that the people were familiar with prime numbers and multiplication by two since the markings were paired at 3-6, 4-8, and 5-10.
Astronomy and astrology are believed to have existed for almost 50,000 years. The oldest stellar calendar is dated 4241 BC. It has 365 1/4 days and 12 months with 30 days in each month. The ancient Africans were also the first to divide the day into 24 hours and to begin the day at midnight.
African medical textbooks have been found that are over 5,000 years old. Ancient Africans were very well versed in medical diagnosis and treatment with as many as 1,000 animal, plant and mineral products used in the treatment of illness.
Heinrich Barth, a 19th century German traveler, recorded that in the Nigerian town of Kano, “a whole family may live in that country with ease, including every expense, even that of clothing.” All too familiar with the terrible conditions of the Victorian sweatshops in Europe, Barth wrote: “If we consider that this industry (textile manufacturing) is not carried on here as in Europe, in immense establishment degrading man to the meanest condition of life, but that it gives employment and support to families without compelling them to sacrifice their domestic habits, we must presume that Kano ought to be one of the happiest countries in the world; and so it is so long as its governor, too often lazy and indolent, is able to defend its inhabitants from the cupidity of their neighbors, which of course is certainly stimulated by the very wealth of this country.”34
In the time of the Old Testament African rooted nations were undoubtedly among the most influential and revered in the entire world, and although biblical Africans are responsible for many of the earliest and greatest civilizations, their influence by no means end there. The story of the empires of Africa south of the Sahara extends almost 3,000 years, beginning with the establishment of the empire of Kush. Other empires later developed in Ethiopia and West Africa.

Africa, Africans and Ancient Eminence:
The idea that Africans have contributed little to world civilization is one which many in the West have for a long time assumed and taken for granted. Thanks in part to depictions of Africa which rarely extend past civil wars, famine and the primitive; information about Africa’s past advances and accomplishments have continued to remain obscure and little known. Since first contact between Europe and Africa the history of Africa has been fundamentally dominated by the way Europeans have portrayed themselves in relationship to that continent. So that most of what we read and see about Africa tends to say — either directly or indirectly — more about the history of European colonialism and its biases toward Africa than it does about the real Africa and its people (see Ahmad, 1987).
The majority of people today of all backgrounds, including those of African ancestry, tend to know little about Africa and its history outside of the transatlantic slave trade and perhaps colonialism. While even in these instances knowledge about these events can be at times, limited. The African continent is too often conceived of as one with no legitimate history before contact with Europeans. Formal anthropological research is now showing that this notion could not be further from the truth.
In the bible Ham’s sons are believed to have fathered the peoples of Africa. Of Ham’s four sons, Canaan, fathered the Canaanites, while Mizraim fathered the Egyptians, Cush the Cushites and Phut the “Libyans”. Nimrod, the Grandson of Ham and son Cush, is written to have been the father the Mesopotamian/Babylonian Empire: “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (Gen 10:7-12).” Nimrod is also mentioned in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10), in the First Book of Chronicles, and in the Book of Micah.
In the time of the Old Testament African rooted nations were undoubtedly considered to be among the most influential and revered in the entire world, and although biblical Africans are credited with having established many of the earliest and greatest civilizations, their influence by no means end there. The story of the empires of Africa south of the Sahara extends millennia, beginning with the establishment of the empire of Kush. Other empires later developed in Ethiopia and West Africa, and each of the major regions of the continent is known to have had several examples of advanced kingdoms (Stock, 1998 p 104). Ancient Ghana and Mali in West Africa; Nubia and Axum in East and Great Zimbabwe in Southern Africa are just a few such examples.
Biological Anthropological and Molecular Genetic research have also discovered many things about Africa and African people that were once unknown or that may have been arbitrarily and/or whimsically dismissed by anti-Africanist Europeans.
The Wealth of Old African Nations:
When Leo Africanus visited Timbuktu (a city in Mali), he described it as one of the richest cities he had seen in his travels. Timbuktu was a major economic center for about three centuries, from the 13th up to the middle of the 16th century. The wealth, the power and the richness of Timbuktu were also mentioned by Cadamosto and Ibn Battuta (world renowned Arab traveler) in their travels. It was remarked that there was more money to be made selling books in Timbuktu, than any other commodity (Adams and McShane, 1997). For example, Leo Africanus wrote of Timbuktu: “Here are great stores of doctors, judges, priests, and other learned men, that are bountyfully maintained at the kings cost and charges. And hither are brought divers manuscripts or written bookes out of Barbarie, which are sold for more money than any other merchandize” (see Pelizzo, 2001).The wealth generated in Timbuktu created the conditions for the existence and development of a bourgeois culture and a cosmopolitan population (Pelizzo, 2001). Mansa Musa (Mali/Timbuktu ruler) developed Timbuktu to an extent that it became an important cultural center which attracted a very large number of scholars and men of religion from all over the world.
Mansa Musa revealed the world to Mali’s greatness in 1324 on his pilgrimage to Mecca when he distributed so much gold that it deflated its price in Cairo for the next 12 years (Gale, 2005-2006). The reputation which Musa established in Egypt soon spread to Europe, where as early as 1339 Mali appeared on a world map along with Musa’s name. Several Arab scholars were so impressed by this ruler that they followed him back to Mali to investigate his civilization, further. The kingdom of Mali is said to have stunned both the Muslim and the Christian worlds with its wealth, power, and influence (Palumbo, 1991).
Axum, another eminent African civilization, is located in the northern Ethiopian highlands, and emerged in the 1st century A.D. through its control of the ivory trade from Africa to Arabia (Stock, 1998). Axum lay between the growing commercial trade routes between Africa, Arabia, and India. As a result, it became extremely wealthy. Axum was also named by the Persian religious figure, Mani, as one of the four great powers of his time along with Persia, Rome, and China (Adler and Pouwels, 2005; Munro-Hay, 1991). By the late 3rd century it had begun minting its own currency, and at its height, Axum (also spelled Aksum) controlled northern Ethiopia, Eritrea, northern Sudan, southern Egypt, Djibouti, Yemen, and southern Saudi Arabia (Burstein, 1998; Munro-Hay, 1991).
The Kushitic civilization flourished following the rise to ascendancy of Meroe as the capital city, starting in the 6th century B.C. The sophistication of the Kush was reflected in its impressive stone architecture, irrigation systems, a large iron industry, and its own writing system (Stock, 1998; Adler and Pouwels, 2005).
Math and Science: Indigenous Black Africa in Advance of Europe:
Africans pioneered basic arithmetic 25,000 years ago. The “Ishango bone” is a tool handle with notches carved into it found in the Ishango region of Zaïre (now called Congo) near Lake Edward. On the tool are 3 rows of notches representing different series of numerical patters (Bogoshi et al, 1987). This Ishango pattern may have influenced the later development of mathematics in Egypt (which in turn would influence mathematics internationally) as like some entries on the Ishango bone, Egyptian arithmetic also made use of multiplication by 2 (Marshack, 1972).
Much more sophisticated math has also been discovered in Sub-Saharan Africa. Fractals are characterized by the repetition of similar patterns at ever-diminishing scales. Fractal geometry is said to be one of the most exciting frontiers in the fusion between mathematics and information technology, and has become an important new tool for modeling in biology, geology, and other natural sciences (Eglash, 1999). Africans have devised explicit rules for generating fractal patterns which employ abstract theory and the use of “pure mathematics” (Eglash, 1999). Many of these methods are said to predate fractal mathematics in Europe.
Anthropologists have observed that patterns produced in different cultures can be characterized by specific design themes. In Europe, for example, cities are often laid out in a grid pattern of straight streets and right-angle corners. While a grid system, “the Cartesian coordinate system” has long been a foundation for the mathematics used in these (European based) societies. In Africa, however, examples of fractal architecture and town/village layouts can be found in every corner of the African continent (Vignes-Adler, 1991; Eglash, 1999) and West Africa in particular. Incidentally, the “World Wide Web” is also known to possess a fractal structure (Barabasi, 2002); further highlighting the sophistication of these structures.
Though, fractal geometry is not the only mathematics used in Africa, its repeated presence among such a wide variety of shapes is said to be quite striking. There is also evidence showing that “geomancy” in Europe originated from a sub-Saharan African source. Geomancy would eventually be used to create the digital computer (Eglash, 1999).
Thousands of books and manuscripts uncovered in what is now Mali, particularly around Timbuktu, are also currently being studied. These manuscripts are a living testimony of the highly advanced civilization which existed in Sub-Saharan Africa. Black African scholars in Timbuktu independently developed sophisticated math, astronomy, and other sciences even as Europe was still crawling out of the middle Ages. While only a fraction of the writings at Timbuktu have survived the rigors of time, remaining hidden for generations in trunks or buried within the thick mud walls of mosques (Abraham, 2007) — some dating back as far as 600 years — those that have been uncovered include beautifully drawn diagrams representing the orbits of planets and stars. These diagrams also demonstrate the use of complex mathematical calculations. Moreover, these ancient manuscripts are said to be found not only in Timbuktu but also in many other cities in Mali, neighboring countries of West Africa, all the way to the east in Sudan and as far south as Tanzania (Abraham, 2007).
An ancient astrological observatory made of large stones has also been discovered in Namoratunga, a site in northwestern Kenya. This site has an alignment of 19 basalt pillars that are non-randomly positioned in the direction of particular stars and constellations. With these findings it can be demonstrated that Africans were using a prehistoric calendar based on detailed astronomical knowledge (Lynch and Robbins, 1978). So that Africans were using their own calendar system even before much of Europe.
Ancient Egyptians and Greeks: Biological Science and Black African Connections
Molecular genetic researchers have demonstrated that the ancient Greeks may have possessed high levels of mixture with “Sub-Saharan” black Africans (Ethiopian, West African) people (Arnaiz-Villena et al, 2001, 2002; Arnaiz-Villena et al 2002a; Hajjej et al., 2006) – So that the fathers of European civilization may have actually had their roots in sub-Saharan Africa (ibid). HLA allele distribution was studied in Mediterranean and sub-Saharan populations and their relatedness tested by genetic distance, neighbor-joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses (Arnaiz-Villena et al, 2001a; Hajjej et al., 2006). Populations were grouped into three branches with high bootstrap values. The first branch grouped both eastern (Macedonians, Cretans, Jews, Lebanese) and western Mediterraneans (Europeans, North Africans and Sardinians), while the second branch was formed by black African “Negroid” populations. The third branch, however, was comprised of Greek and sub-Saharan African populations; this suggesting close genetic relatedness (Arnaiz-Villena et al, 2001)!
In order to study the possible origin of the Greeks, who are said to be outliers among Mediterraneans (Gomez-Casado et al, 2000; Arnaiz-Villena et al, 2001), specific (DRB1) alleles present in Greeks and not present in the other Mediterranean populations were used. This data came from the 11th and 12th International “Histocompatibility Workshops” reference panels and other previously described data. It was then shown using these data and various molecular techniques that Ancient Greek alleles clustered predominantly with sub-Saharan African populations from Ethiopia (Amhara, Oromo), Sudan (Nuba) and West Africa (Rimaibe, Fulani, Mossi). These findings were further supported by Chr 7 Markers (Arnaiz-Villena et al, 2002). Independent study by another team of geneticists later replicated these finding, further establishing the relatedness of Greeks to Sub-Saharan Africans (Hajjej et al., 2006). This team of geneticists argued that the gene flow from Black Africa to Greece may have occurred in Pharaonic times or when Saharan people emigrated after the present hyper arid conditions were established. That is, after the drying of the Sahara (about 3000-5000 years B.C.).
Anthropologists now also believe that it was not until after the hyper arid conditions were established that the original Egyptians (The Bardarians) migrated to the Nile valley to establish what would later become the Egyptian civilization. Archaeological evidence suggests, for example, that the ancient Egyptian Nile Valley was peopled in large part by immigrants from the Sahara and sub-Sahara (Hassan, 1988). Strouhal (1971) analyzed hair in a study of 117 Badarian crania, in which he concluded that more than 80% were Negroid; most of these were interpreted as being hybrids. Keita (1990) also argues using cranial facial analysis that the Badarian were a predominantly black African people. Robin’s (1983) study also described the Ancient Egyptians as possessing “a predominantly ‘Negroid’ body plan.”
Physical anthropological analysis of Egyptian limb proportions by Zakrzewski (2003) further suggests that the ancient Egyptians were likely a black African people. Comparing the intermembral, brachial, and crural indices and other measurements from her samples with value samples obtained from the literature, Zakrzwski (2003) argued that the ancient Egyptians displayed what she termed a “super-Negroid” body plan.
Neolithic Europeans show Cranial-Facial Characteristics Unique to Black Africans:
Cranial-Facial analysis shows the Neolithic peoples of Europe and their Bronze Age successors may not be closely related to modern Europeans. The Epipalaeolithic Natufian of Israel from whom the Neolithic realm of Europeans is assumed to have arisen has recently been shown to have clear links to Sub-Saharan African populations (Brace et al, 2006). Epipalaeolithic Natufians are credited with having introduced Europe to “Agriculture.”
In a study which included a battery of 24 craniofacial measurements, the similarities and differences of living human populations were compared with their prehistoric predecessors. In doing this it was discovered that the Natufian sample (although very small) tended to fall between the Niger-Congo group (who clustered almost exclusively among themselves) and the other samples used. This placement suggested a Sub-Saharan African element in the make-up of the Natufians! The study’s team of distinguished physical anthropologists concluded: “If the Late Pleistocene Natufian sample from Israel is the source from which that Neolithic spread was derived, then there was clearly a Sub-Saharan African element present of almost equal importance as the Late Prehistoric Eurasian element (see Brace et al 2006).” In other words, black Africans likely played a major role in transforming European societies from hunter-gather ones to agricultural ones.
European Technology and the Moor:
A number of innovations that many today recognize or take for granted as being uniquely European, such as firearms and old European trade ships which were once used for commerce, can trace their history back to technologies and influences acquired through Islamic contacts in the Iberian Peninsula. In the year 711 AD, Islamic invaders conquered that part of Europe known today as Spain and ruled over the region for close to 800 years (711 to 1492). Europe as a result would see a number of improvements in various areas of life and interests, ranging from the medical sciences and military; to paved roads, compasses, street lamps and even the (phonetic) alphabet (Adler and Pouwels, 2005). Indeed, soap was also introduced to Europe at this time, although it would take several centuries before the surfactant would actually catch on (Mihm, 1999; Stuller, 1991). Before this time Europeans did not use soap, or did not wash at all! The Moors — who believed that Europeans were inherently inferior, and that they were closer to animals — also introduced Europe to Universities (or higher learning) and even the concept of “zero” (Adler and Pouwels, 2005).
Scholars describe the Moor as originating in the Senegal River valley in Southern Mauritania as Almoravides, and gathering followers from many ethic groups before overwhelming the Iberian Peninsula. The Almoravides were a group of devout Muslims also responsible for the destabilization and eventual demise of the Kingdom of ancient Ghana. Most Moorish people today reside between northern Mauritania and southern Morocco and tend to be of mixed heritage. Many look ethnically similar to American president Barack Obama.
The question about the racial origins of the Moor is one easily avoided by adopting an American definition of race – Particularly as it relates to black people. By this definition anybody with any black family heritage could be thought of as “black”, and thus, so could the Moor. That said there is also much literature that indicates that the Moor of old were, in fact, very much black in appearance (Wolf, 1990; Smith 1988; Constable, 1997). In Shakespeare’s play “Othello”, Moors are described as being “pitch black” with thick lips and wooly hair. While a passage from the thirteenth century “Primera cronica general” describes the events of 711, what is understood to be the fall of Spain in that year: “…their faces were black as pitch, the handsomest among them was black as a cooking pot, and their eyes blazed like fire; their horses swift as leopards, their horsemen more cruel and hurtful than the wolf that comes at night to the flock of sheep – The vile African people (Smith 1988 p. 19). The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word, Moor: “…commonly supposed to be mostly black or very swarthy, and hence the word is often used for Negro.”
Until Recently Europeans Bathed only Once a Year:
Through great periods of European and much of U.S. history cleanliness was considered inconvenient, religiously restricted, or even out of fashion. Research shows that Europeans and European Americans lived in wretched filth for much of their history, and many died young from associated diseases. Living unwashed was a normal part of the daily lives of European saints, the masses, and even monarchs. Ashenburg (2007) gives a detailed look at the hygienic practices of Medieval and Renaissance Europeans. She describes European nobles of the 16th century who considered face washing so unusual that they documented it in letters.
Soap, which was a common household item in the Islamic world, took centuries to catch on in Europe, as frequent bathing was considered unhealthy (Mihm, 1999; Stuller, 1991). As late as the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I was considered unusual for her ”frequent” — that is, monthly — baths. While King James I is said to have only washed his fingers! One head of a convent in the fourth century is reported to have warned her nuns that “a clean body and a clean dress meant an unclean soul” (Ashenburg, 2007). There are also records that “St. Agnes was never washed throughout her lifetime….and a fourth century pilgrim boasted that she had not washed her face for eighteen years so as not to disturb the holy water used at her baptism” (McLaughlin, 1971 p. 11).
Indeed, during the Spanish Inquisition, Spanish confessors would often not absolve those who washed regularly. They believed they were on the right track if an accused person was known to bathe (Ashenburg, 2007). It was not until the late 1900s that frequent bathing became widely practiced by Europeans. Europeans in the middle Ages up until that time believed that bathing was an indulgence, an invitation to illness, or even a sin (Ashenburg, 2007; McLaughlin, 1971; Mihm, 1999; Karlen, 1995; Stuller, 1991)!
Modern Perceptions and Old World Views:
It is in failing to inform the naïve about the rich history and cultural achievements of world peoples, not just in Africa but also the Americas, that we have come to conceive of indigenous and world people as perhaps lacking in cultural sophistication. Native Americans used to warn that one could get sick from rubbing shoulders with Europeans, and refused to accommodate them because it was said that they were dirty and ridden with disease. Yet we in the west are often taught about history in a way that might persuade us to think the opposite was true.

We need To Go back
African americans !!!HAVE TO GET BACK TO AFRICA!!!, WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO AFRICA AT ALL COST, as amerikkka is falling and china’s rise unwavering Africas rise is not far behind, remember it was us who made amerikkka a type of power in the first place DON’T EVER FORGET THAT , we need to think about ourselves and our kids, PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT .

The Factual Truth about Slavery in Africa …act 1
Firstly, calling it a ‘Slave trade‘, is sort of a misnomer, because when they come up to you with a gun in your face, a cannon pointed at your family and torches ready to set your town ablaze with a history of such in neighboring towns, then it becomes much less of a trade and more of a rape.
If the idea that they all walked quietly into servitude has lost ground in some intellectual circles, it is still going strong in popular culture as are the supposed passivity/complicity of the rest of their compatriots, and their lack of remorse for having allowed or participated in this massive deportation, slavery, as it existed, was the worst kind of human bondage. Africans fought against and resisted slavery in their on the seas and in America. There was continuous resistance against Europeans during every phase of the slave trade.
Many Africans brought to the islands were Coromantee Africans, brought in from the Gold Coast. Many of these people were the Akan, often from the Ashanti tribe. However, Coromantee warriors captured in battle did not easily leave their leadership positions for servitude.
The Maroons of Jamaica maintained their freedom escaping from plantations and forming communities in the hills. They defended themselves against recapture by reaching agreements with colonial governments to return runaways.
The Maroons helped defeat a group of newly arrived enslaved Africans in ‘Tacky’s Rebellion’ in Jamaica, in 1760. It was led by Tacky, who had been an enslaved plantation worker. Over 400 enslaved people were killed and 600 deported as a result. This is one of many examples of rebellion during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
One such Coromantee chief led what was called Tacky’s Rebellion on Jamaica in 1760. Tacky led slaves around the island to revolt on Easter morning and stole guns, gunpowder, and other necessary supplies. They then moved inland, taking over estates and killing the whites of the plantation.
Side note [ The Good Jean-Bertrand Aristide and HIS fight for haiti against the evil u.s. and france, the full and true story of Jean-Bertrand Aristide Will be finally told, and it will portray a noble and humble man who gave of himself honorably to serve the interests of all the people of Haiti. His only failure was his inability to overcome the brutal and corrupt power of the U.S. and its determination to see him fail. The coup against Aristide … must be understood not in isolation, but as the culmination of activities that really began the minute he was re-elected in 2000. Destabilization efforts by the U.S. government, active U.S. support for the creation of a so-called civil-society opposition, and eventually the invasion of Haiti by an armed band of criminals and murderers were all part of a process designed to ensure that Haiti would return fully to the fold of the U.S. empire and its minions in Haiti, the british involvemeant in all of this whole fiasco is not without evil merit. Drunks and pedos, the lot of you, why doesn’t there queen part with some of her stolen jewels and help the people in Haiti. Also france is the evil glue that holds all of this together, everyone should not forget that it was that sick sadistic bastard napoleon 1 who sent an army to terrorize Haiti. What’s facinating is that this disasterous intervention, put France off of defending the Lousiana Territories against encroachment from the United States of America, and instead they decided to get what they could for it, before it was too late. The Louisian Purchase doubled the size of the continental United States, and set the new country firmly on the road to becoming an empire.

DO NOT for one minute think that amerikkka cares about Haiti, listen to what cracka amerikkkan rush Limbaugh, clown of the far-right radio airwaves here, says we should all do: nothing. “We’ve already donated to Haiti,” Limbaugh lectured a caller on his daily show, which is broadcast by 645 radio stations throughout the US and earns him $35m a year. “It’s called the US income tax.” From the pulpit of the religious far right, 79-year-old Pat Robertson, a semi-serious presidential contender in 1988, chimed in with his own unique wisdom, telling us that the Haitians had got what they deserved because they had made “a pact to the devil”. amerikkka gives financial aid to the poorest nation in its hemisphere, although the amount Haiti receives is very small compared to what is received by Israel, Egypt or Afghanistan. In the most recent three years for which data is available, each American gave only about 80 cents to Haiti (while Canada contributed the equivalent of $12.13 per person).
