Queen Cleopatra Was A Syrian

My major point is mainly a suggeston, now zorro. Its already implied by others, that your perspective is European and AfricCentric and it needs to be broadened and deepened.

I asked your purpose, which u've yet to respond to. Many of us alive today and are interested in OurStories and HisStories know that part of our duty is to present OurStories from our perspectives to help make our lives better. Europeans and those who swallow their conjecture, lies, distortions and imposed definitions of what is real, possible, true & false 24/7 must have supporters of what they teach; for basically their priesthoods of knowledge and power have proclaimed themselves to be the best qualified to lead the world. Remember this from Cicero? "Surely the Gods will that Rome rules!" That's still European's motto, tho unstated specifically. And if their followers do not support their misguided subterfuges, how then will they be accepted as the Police force to the world; a force backed by lies and atomic bombs? They'll be seen as mere men and women. I stop short of calling them humans.

You've stepped onto this site as an all knowing one about OurStories; a characteristic of a European mindset. Its pretentious and incorrect. You've cited only European sources. A MAJOR error. European controlled knowledge as is religion, politics kwk are tools to maintain european hegemony. Its is "colored" by their aims in life at the costs of all others unlike them. As some of our learned say, that's ok for europeans. But not for Afrikans, we have a different worldview and cultures. We must help ourselves by using our defined sources. Not Europeans.

What makes it "substantive?"

Funny,
Semantics and me being dishonest. That is hilarious.
The Black Man is not a kind of man. He is Man.
As for my answer to question 4D, I make that decision NOW, and I have made the decision that the link you provided is deceptively informative to me, it does not jell with my mindset, and my teachings so to me, I will leave it alone. I just happen to disagree with what is written on that site. If an article loses me on the first sentence well.........

I didn't see anything of interest on the site either. I only viewed the home page and that was enough for me.

The most influential book of human history is the Bible whether people choose to believe it or not, and as Abraham Lincoln said, "the best gift God has ever given to man..........But for it we could not know right from wrong".

Hey Nudimmud9;

I don’t know if you know it, but you just cleared a hurdle.
It’s not unusual for young people to spend more time talking
about what they know (or what they think they know),
then they spend trying to find out about what they don’t know.

To your credit, you put pride aside and investigated. Lo and behold,
There was a wealth of knowledge that you didn’t know, and there will
Always be more to come.

But a word of caution, I don’t know if you finished reading the book
Or not. But by the time you finish, you may experience feelings of
Hate or resentment. Those feelings are a trap, every creature has
A right to act in it’s own self-interest, if the other is too weak or too
Stupid, Nature does not care. It is the responsibility of the weak to
Become strong – or become strong again, instead of hating the strong
For being strong. That just seems to be the way things work, so you might
As well get with the program. Don’t be a hater, be a conqueror.

Once you know, be tolerant of those that don’t know. Seeking truth and
Understanding is not the path for everyone. Many are quite comfortable
With the dogma handed down to them, it is not you place to force change
Where change is not wanted, leave them to find their own path.

A final thought; as a result of all this, I am not one bit richer – but you are!
It’s up to you to pay back. Each one, teach one! Share what you learn with
Others, this board included.
