I have again been reading and stumbled upon this site in my search for information. Many of you are surprised by the lack of information provided through the education systems. You must rememer that the goal is misinformation, destruction of self image and power over that help keep a people down. History is written from the perspective of the controlling powers. Listen to the history of the oppressed, note the differences. You must not simply accept what is handed to you as fact… you must learn to question, challenge and seek out truth. You have an accountability to educate yourself about who we are as Black people, or you will never know the true strength, knowledge and beauty that we come from. We will only be given the negative images for our children to emulate and destroy themselves. Gather your information from more than one source, look around at the world, travel, see the influence of African roots in the world.

DNA test have been done. Search for it in National Geographic. Look at the Adamese and Jarawa of the Bay of Bengal or simply google “Negritos” and see what comes up. Look up the Agta for example. Also see the Khoi-Khoi of South Africa who have YELLOW skin and SLANTED eyes.

I wish to say to those who claim that there is no truth in what I say’before you criticise seek first to analyse that which you do not understand’. I am presently pursuing my PhD at the University of Cambridge where I just completed my M.Phil. What I have learned while there is that we, blacks, Africans or Negroes as we so fondly refer to ourselves are so afraid of who we are that we accept whatever is told to us even when it betrays all commonsense and the evidence is so overwhelming. Well if you wish to check it up read a WHITE brotha called Harris who wrote a book called ‘The African Presence in Early Asia’” or G. Higgin’s “Anacalypsis”. I also wish to say that it is rediculous of Africans in the west to claim that Africans do not like them. I have made many African friends and some who have hated me but it was no different from the white response yet we make all efforts to be in their company. It is no different from our island tribalism where Trini’s do not like small-islanders. One wise person once said “he who knows not and knows not he knows not is a fool, disregard him”

I thought that reading was extremely interesting reguardless if it is truth to it or not. The point is to just keep an open mind to any kind of possibility just in case there is one. People need to stop being judemental to everything because they were not even there. Just say I dont know and gather all the information and education that you can get. HUNGRY FOR KNOWLEDGE AND POWER!

Just remember that history is written by those who won…just take a look at the “Black History” literature in your history textbooks…how much did they explain about the Tuskeegee airmen?

I was shocked to find that Africa took part in Asia. I had never heard that they genetically tested that they were there.

I had no idea that Buddhism was founded by an African. That’s amazing to me and I’m wondering why I’m a senior in college and am just now knowing about this. It just goes to show that we cannot rely on our educational system to teach us real history.

I feel that this article has once again proven the fact that there is a common linkage in Africa with all ethnic backgrounds and cultures. I think that it was also interesting to know that an art such as Tae Kwon Do originated in Africa.
