Never mind the fact that in the bible of all the people of color or black people mention, none of them were "Bantu" and by Bantu, I mean west to south Central African decent.. Which is what US Americans of African decent really are, Bantu speakers. So basically even if they were black, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are relevant to us in America, save for maybe sentimental reasons. You are of Sudanic decent so I would think that would take on a different dynamic in your case. But generally most African Americans aren't of Sudanese decent which is Niolitic and NOT Bantu Africans. Anyway, No I do not rely no the government to give me Black history. Also, I didn't know that the government had even issued any anthologies or proclamations of Black history. But what I can do is take government sources, such as archives at libraries and such, and see that which has been historically preserved for the public. Something our people don't actually seem to be aware is right here at our disposal. I rather rely on myself when searching for history rather than using only one source. And I would hardly consider the bible even a hit and miss source of Ancient Black History... Since it 1 wasn't written about us, 2 written by us, or even written for us. Let alone the fact that we are NOT EVEN MENTIONED in the bible. Now if anyone could find a scripture in the bible that does include us, then I would greatly appreciate it.. Mentioning of Egyptian and Sudanese Kings, which the bible does do, hardly constitute our History. And despite some popular Belief, Africans in America are NOT Jews !
Because if we were Jews, then that would say that the Africans are NOT our ancestors, and that they are inferior to us, and that is not true either... So basically we cant have it both was. We have to reconstruct our history ourselves. I say Christianity is a white mans religion, because the first Christian church was A European Church... Then through white supremacy it eventually made its way to Egypt and Ethiopia. Some Afrocentrics seem to be under the perception that the Ethiopian Christian church somehow predates the European one, but that is hardly the case. When Ethiopia was conquered by the Romans I think, they had to submit, and eventually picked up Christianity, so it has been White Supremacy from the start. Only back then they didn't realize it.. Because they didn't quite have the concept of Race
