Of Course screen pals......... It's Africa my heart's quite connected to, if I think of savannas of East Africa I might visualize myself crying because I love several of Africa's wild animals, but if I think of the Sahara I visualize myself holding a carnelian necklace while standing in the sand. I've known my connection with Africa since childhood, it's the hidden accuracy of how we relate I had to search hard at the libraries to discover.

It made me so angry when I was 28 and I learned that I was lied to my whole life when I was told that “the colonizers” were the only people that had written language and that my ancestors had tons of written records that were thousands of years old, the colonizers just couldn’t be bothered to learn it so they called us all “illiterate”

[@TheYarbros]

The "victors" write history ... but yea "illiterate" that's foul. As an adult I'm still relearning.

[@Sageandgold]

Yep. English was the last language created by the Moores and given to the colonizers because they were too umb to learn, understand and comprehend our tongues. These is why they harvest our DNA. English comes from every other language that already existed.

The generation and dissemination of knowledge for the enlightenment and empowerment of our African brothers and sisters in all parts of the world is an important goal. So much of our amazing African history has been hidden from us because our enemies know knowledge is power and they don’t want us to have power so they keep us in a state of ignorance. There is a book called “The Ruins of Empires” written in 1791 by a French Count named Constantine De Volney and in the book he writes that black men in Africa were the first people to build a civilization. He writes.... “There (in Africa) a people, now forgotten, discovered, while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men now rejected from society for their sable (black) skin and frizzled hair, founded on the study of the laws of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe.” A European admits that while people in Europe, Asia and elsewhere were barbarians, black people in Africa were building civilization. In the year 1787 upon seeing all the evidence of the blackness/Africanness of ancient Egypt Count Constantine De Volney said “Just think, that this race of black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we (Europeans) owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech.” The 5th century BC Greek historian Herodotus tells us some interesting stories about the people he refers to as Ethiopians (or Aithiopes in Greek). The term Ethiopians/Aithiopes was widely used in ancient Greece for any DARK-SKINNED PEOPLE from the southern regions of Africa, those who lived in the northeastern African interior, south of Egypt along the Nile, in the region we know as Nubia. Herodotus reports several remarkable things about these Ethiopians. From Herodotus’s report we get an interesting picture of what Herodotus and his fellow Greeks imagined the people of inner Africa to be like. The Africans were physically impressive and long-lived: “The Ethiopians (dark skinned Africans) are said to be the tallest and MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL PEOPLES.” - Herodotus, Histories 3.23 From Herodotus’s writing (before the invention of white supremacy) we see that Europeans/Caucasians called dark skinned Africans the most beautiful people in the world.

[@markaxworthy2508]

Writing in Egypt was extremely early and is a contender, along with Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley, for the first writing. However, all indigenous writing forms south of the Sahara seem to post date the arrival of Islam and written Arabic around a thousand years ago..

I learned in college ages ago, there were two different types of slavery. Africans had "Bonded" servitude (slavery) among themselves where one person was in servitude to another until a debt was fulfilled. It was not brutal or demeaning, and it was not Permanent. The "servant" also received the protections of the household. That was completely different from "Chattel" slavery introduced by European Colonizers. They treated humans the same as other domestic animals. Along with this Europeans introduced lies such as "The Curse of Ham" to further their agenda.

[@beberodriguez4160]

You mean peonage.... ALL WEST and CENTRAL Africans trafficked and enslaved during the Trans Atlantic SLAVE trade 1593-1880.... Caribbean Islands were last to be freed.

[@bizhope007]

Thank you so much for saying this. I get so tired and it is sooo sad when I hear SOME AA spewing hate at Africans for 'selling' them into slavery. While I overstand the angst, it is great that some are coming to the enlightenment that even those that were doing the selling would not have had a clue what they were sending their brothers and sisters to because they had nothing in their culture to compare it with that would have given them that overstanding. It is wonderful to see things changing, even if slowly. Every step is a step forward. For those in the KNOW, keep spreading the light. Let the healing between each other begin and prosper .. for our sake and for the sake of the generations to come. Peace EVERYONE. One Love🙏🏾✌️🕊✨

There were different forms of slavery in Africa. There was both limited forms of chattel slavery and indentured servitude. The Irish in the Americas or the Boers in SA were examples of Europeans practicing servitude amongst themselves and chattel slavery was banned on much of Europe by 1000 AD but make no mistake, slavery on the continent could be just as brutal and demeaning. The difference is free poeple always outnumbered slaves in africa and there was not much of a colour difference so there wasnt a need to encode the brutalities via legislation

[@bizhope007]

@@beberodriguez4160 I will assume by the venom you just spilled that you are one of the SOME I mentioned. FYI, I am not from Africa, although I am black diasporan, so I would be pretty well in the same boat you are. The difference, however, is that I have learnt about the different types of slavery, as stated by the poster above, from credible black historians. You, on the other hand, have chosen to remain ignorant and are SICK with hate. It is quite unfortunate, but you have to live with yourself and the mess you find yourself in where you are...the self hate they have instilled in you that you are spewing all over the place. Good luck. You spewing all this hate will not change how you feel about yourself...quite sad.

There is a "scramble for Africa" going on right now. Another fallacy: "There is no good healthcare in Africa". One of the panoramic variants was discovered by a black female scientist in South Africa, BUT...the media didn't say that; they just reported that it came from there, and not to visit SA. In the meantime, we were the only ones still masked up. Incredible. THANK YOU for being a part of the awakening.

You go sllep for 8 hours after being served dinner and then wake up and eat breakfast and you still in the air over afica whereas flying across europe isqx 5 hours. London to Jobirg direct is 11 hours straight. And one other fascinating thing is flting over europe at night when you look down you see lights from coties every where whereas avross africa you fly hours over darknesya d uninhabited areas for long rimes

the irony... the speedat which people say Africa isn't a country is only matched by the speed at which they refer to it as a monolith.

I remember our maths teacher telling us a little known history of maths in the UK. He said that the English were not interested in maths until it was demonstarted to the queen, at the time, that it could be used to accurately plot at trajectory path to accurately lobb missile at the enemy. It was rejected numerous time before that. She then send out her spies to other lands to learn the technique to bring back to England. The story was longer than that but this is basics.

Yeah but wasn't the city of Alexandria where the library is located nomed after Alexander the great and established during the reign of one of his generals? Cleopatras grandfather maybe?

Do not forget that we are dealing with the agents of Satan and Satan is the father of lies, so to fight back we need to: - Ephesians 6:11Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.… 2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

[@TheYarbros]

Funny, I had to rewrite my opening because I went heavy on the father of all lies and what his minions have been doing in Mother Africa and then decided to go with more light to chase out the darkness.

The Coptic Christian Church in Egypt is older than the Ethiopian Church. The foundational principles of the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism,Christianity and Islam) are rooted in Africa but were jacketed with Indo-European cultural worldview centuries after. Even the languages.

Thank y'all for this! I am fortunate that I am Nigerian-American (born and raised in the US; my dad is Nigerian-Yoruba represent! haha). Growing up, I Iearned so much from family members when visiting over there that they NEVVVVVVERRRRRRR even touched in school. It's absolutely tragic how Africa's significance is minimized. I really wish there was Wakanda and Vibranium for real so the shift of world power would occur and be based somewhere in Africa as a form of comeuppance to the disrespect it has been given.

[@TheYarbros]

Yes, wouldn't that be justice.

The Library of Alexandria was created by Greeks. Alexandria was a Greek city (named after Alexander the Great). Egypt was ruled by Greeks. Most black Africans didn't know what a book was until Europeans told them in the 19th/20th century.

[@TheYarbros]

This was my mistake. The library of Timbuktu was the one i meant to reference but still Alexandria works as well. The fact that Ptolemy wanted to build it in one of the greatest and intellectually relevant cities of the world at that time also says volumes. Love you brother for bringing this up. in every way except evil, heinous barbarity the Mother Land proves herself to be, exactly what She is....I'll let you fill that in lol

[@Ario-yt8ou]

​@@TheYarbros It's amazing how ignorant you would need to be to get Alexandria and Timbuktu mixed up. Alexandria was founded and built by the Greeks. Timbuktu was created by Berbers and Arabs. There was no 'library of Timbuktu', just some private collections of Arabic manuscripts. Berber historian Leo Africanus (1577 AD): “Our ancient Chroniclers of Africa knew nothing in the land of Negros but only the regions of Guechet and Cano: for in their time all other places of the land of Negros were undiscovered. But in the year of the Hegeira 380, by the means of a certain Mahumetan which came into Barbarie, the residue of the said land was found out, being as then inhabited by great numbers of people, which lived a brutish and savage life, without any king, governor, common wealth, or knowledge of husbandry. Clad they were in skins of beasts, neither had they any peculiar wives: in the day time they kept their cattle; and when night came they resorted ten or twelve both men and women into one cottage together, using hairy skins in stead of beds … These Negros were first subject unto king Ioseph the founder of Maroco, and afterward unto the five nations of Libya; of whom they learned the Mahumetan law, and diverse needfull handycrafts: a while after when the merchants of Barbarie began to resort unto them with merchandise, they learned the Barbarian language also. But the foresaid five people or nations of Libya divided this land so among themselves, that every third part of each nation possessed one region … In the region of Gualata the people of Libya, while they were lords of the land of Negroes, ordained their chief princely seat” *(Leo Africanus (1526), A geographic historie of Africa, Book 7)* “Timbuktu was early settled by members of the Masufa tribe of the Sanhaja [Berber] confederation ... When Ibn Battuta visited Timbuktu in 1352 he noted the predominance of the Masufa, but had nothing to say about Islamic learning there. A century later, however, a Masufa clan - the Aqit - migrated to Timbuktu from Masina, and they clearly brought with them a deep tradition of learning, especially in the sphere of _fiqh_ [Islamic law]. Muhammad Aqit’s descendants, intermarried with another Berber, and possibly Sanhaja, family, provided the _qadis_ (judges) of Timbuktu over the next century and a half.” *(Hunwick et al. 2004, Arabic Literature of Africa, Volume 4)* “there is no evidence of the existence of open access public libraries in medieval Timbuktu. On the contrary, the libraries of Timbuktu seem to have all been private collections of individual scholars or families. This dichotomy with the greater Islamic world raises many questions. Some have argued that the lack of the endowment institution known as waqf, or habus (in North Africa), in the Sudanic societal structure resulted in the absence of colleges and public libraries in Timbuktu. … there exists no evidence supporting royally funded libraries in Timbuktu. ... in Timbuktu the body of ulama was drawn exclusively from the city’s wealthiest families. With the exception of a handful of apprentices called alfas, there were no opportunities for the lower classes to join the scholarly elite. It was rare even for financially--assisted alfas to join the ulama or become anything more than enthusiastic and respected amateurs. Therefore, public libraries were not necessary when membership in the ulama was restricted to the wealthy. Only they were literate enough to read most of the erudite works available in the libraries of the Muslim world. ... The fully-qualified ulama of Timbuktu were a tight-knit community never numbering more than 200-300 at any particular time; they were concentrated in discrete quarters and mosques of the city. With the exception of special lectures given in the main mosques, the vast majority of instruction occurred in one-on-one or small group settings at the residence of a scholar.” *(Singleton 2004, African Bibliophiles: Books and Libraries in Medieval Timbuktu)* “The mosque that was chiefly associated with teaching in this period was the Sankore Mosque. Sankore is a quarter in the north-east of Timbuktu, and its name means ‘white nobles’, the term ‘white’ here referring to the light-skinned Sanhaja, and corresponding to the Arabic term _bidan_ .” *(Hunwick et al. 2003, Timbuktu and the Songhay Empire, p.lviii)* "Timbuktu was a town that had internalised the concept of race long before Ahmad Baba was born. Most of the town’s Berbers and Arabs, including Ahmad Baba, lived in the Sankoré quarter, which means the quarter of the ‘White masters’ or ‘White nobles’ in the Songhay language.” *(Cleaveland 2015, Ahmad Baba al-Timbukti and his Islamic critique of racial slavery in the Maghrib)* "The Timbuktu manuscripts are primarily written in Arabic and use a variety of different scripts. ... The Timbuktu manuscripts are primarily written on paper. There was no local production of paper in West Africa; this was a factor in the high cost of the manuscripts. Some of the paper has origins in other parts of the Islamic world, although, primarily it is of European origin.” *(Rasmussen 2014, The Manuscripts of Timbuktu)*
