If Egypt is in Africa, and we are of African descent, then how is Egypt not part of our African cultural heritage? Next
Might? When those civilizations are in the middle of f#cking Africa? Not to mention, artifacts, portraits and contemporary literature confirming the rulers were black and the people were black?
Again, next
Can you name a society that hasn't had slavery? All peoples have enslaved their own countrymen at one point or another in time. Difference being that the Arab and European revolutionized slavery by making it an international trade based solely on race. The European ramped by this up by creating what is now known as "chattel slavery." A form of slavery where one is perpetually enslaved on account of being a particular race and/or being born to slave parents.
Nowhere in the world, especially Africa, had this idea even been imagined. That one could:
1. Be a slave forever
2. Have their offspring and total lineage enslaved in perpetuity
3. Have no rights in regard to their treatment by the slave owner
4. Be considered property synonymous with that of a cow or piece of machinery
5. Be considered 3/5ths of a human being
6. Be torn apart from their families
7. Sold like one sells a car
In Africa, slavery was based on warring tribes taking captives. No different than most other civilizations of the time. However, those slaves:
1. Were generally held for a specific period of time and then freed
2. Had rights in the community in which they were enslaved, which prohibited the slave owner from abusing and/or killing the slave
3. Were generally counted as members of the community, not property
4. Maintained family ties while enslaved
So, again next
You're a fool, ignorant of history to even type this. If the human race as we know it began in Africa, then how is out of the realm to acknowledge that the foundation of religion would have its origins in Africa? Hell, even the Christian and Muslim faiths, as we know them today, had their origins in Africa or African colonies. That's right...Africa was the first colonizer. Africa ruled what is now considered the Middle East for centuries. This is well documented...one book to start with is
When Egypt Ruled the East.
Moving beyond that though, so the fact that various African kingdoms had been conquered at various points in history and were forced and/or coerced into taking their conquerors religion is somehow proof that the foundations of those religions did not begin in Africa centuries before?
The folklore contained in the Bible is African folklore. Everything from Moses parting the sea to the birth of Jesus.
Jesus was of African descent. This can be easily discerned. Not only from the very book of Revelation where his description is that of "hair like wool and feet the color of burned brass." But also by contemporary depictions of Jesus by writers of the time....I believe Josephus even confirmed Jesus as being black. There is a painting of Jesus, during his life, that clearly depicts him as black...I believe the painting is in a European museum....which one escapes me at the moment.
Another example is when, according to the story, Jesus' family escaped to Egypt to escape Herod when Jesus was a child. At the time, Egypt was still mostly dominated by African peoples. So, if Jesus were white, why in the hell would he leave a place like Bethlehem to go to Egypt? Why would a fair-skinned family "hide" in a black territory?
Islam's foundation is in Africa, it's proliferation is in the Middle East. Muhammad had African lineage and fled to Ethiopia to escape repression at one point. His right hand man was Bilal, an African.
Both religions were African in nature, simply repackaged in the cultural container of non-Africans and sold back to Africans centuries later.
