Thanks for bringing this info. A lot of African nations education systems are still in placed from colonialism and emphasize European (or Islamic) History.

The fallacy of Arab invaders.. is pure BS. Africans willingly converted to Islam as a natural progression of African history

[@ghanaianfoundingfathersdau80]

During my early childhood, and even through high school education in Ghana, all our textbooks and history books were written either by Ghanaian, Nigerian as well as other African scholars. Yes, we learned about our oppressors because they were and are still woven into our history and our scholars understood the need to identify them by origin in those history books, so as to enable us to appreciate how hard our Ancestors fought for our continent. This experience planted a seed of self-worth within the very core of my being, because to this day, I can boldly say that my first exposure to academic intelligence was from African scholars whose works served many children, the wholesome and longlasting dose of African learning. I clearly remember our Class five aka 5th-grade teacher Miss Zigah, teaching us to read the Medu Ntchr through a grade school syllabus established by the Education Ministers of the Nkrumah Government. Those pro-Africa textbooks instituted and enforced by our First President, remained within the syllabus until JJ Rawlings backed by Gadafi plunged the nation into several coup detats, which completely derailed the standard of Ghanaian education, but #Sankofa is back in motion, repairing those bridges that lead to the #AfroAcademic art of #KnowingTheSelf.

Aj Porsche Africans had written languages before Europeans or Arabs came to Africa.. The meroitic language,Old Nubian,Geez, and the west Africans had Nsidibi it was a script found among a number of Cross River peoples which owed nothing to foreign exemplars- each symbol is an ideograph, as in Chinese. Because each symbol represented a concept, it could be used between peopes speaking different anguages; over 500 signs are recorded, and there is reason to believe that they were only a small partof the whole.

This brother took the time out his day and made an awesome video, and some people decide to bring negativity to his comments. Its so many emotional statements coming from " Enlightened, Conscious, etc. " people who succeed at killing the vibe of the video. The narrative of Muslims/Arabs enslaving Africans has so many flaws in it along with Europeans " TAKING " us from Africa and making us slaves. It has some truth to it, but some don't realize that every time you make that statement, you make our ancestors look weak and gullible. We all know that wasn't the case. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the disrespectful comments aren't necessary. Especially amongst people who claim to be " WOKE " !!!! Keep up the good work soldier! HomeTeam History!

Greetings of peace and other blessings. Brother, this video was well received and valued as a gem. I'm a student of life sciences and give ample time on a daily basis to cataloguing and discerning information. The interest in Africa and its historical heritage is important because the last 800 years is a period of upheaval for African peoples. The reorienting and reclaiming of knowledge systems will allow our culture and heritage to retake its place on the world stage. In so doing the balance of the social and cultural movement of humanity will reconnect its legitimate stages and influences. All human beings will come to understand its contributions and excellences as individuals and larger cultural/ ethnic constructs. On such a global platform, the fusion of people and ideas will not be on the basis of misfortune and shame but the willing and enthusiastic interplay of human commonality and curiosity.

[@michaelmura9552]

I know some people will think I'm trolling, but I'm not, I have a serious question, any help would be appreciated. So, I have a question about Ahmed Baba. I see sometimes on wiki and on black history forums that one of Ahmed's names was Ahmed Baba Es Sudane (or "the black"). I'm just wondering where this information is from. The only source I can find is John Henrick Clarke and I would like to know where he got this information that attest to this name. I've been reading some material that states he viewed himself as different from blacks and saw himself as more of a so called "white" Berber, which was surprising. These sources claim this is evident from his writings such as "Mi‘raj al-Su‘ud and Nayl al-Ibtihaj" and he lived in the Sankore quarter of the city that was a quarter most populated by the "white nobles". Just seriously curious about more sources of this same Ahmed Baba "the Black". I know racial categorization can be wonky, like in the Sahel, people we'd consider black may view themselves as white due to culture and so forth, but if Ahmed did see himself as "white" Berber why would he use the name "the black"? Seriously, anyone know where Henrick Clarke got his information about this name? This is more a question of his own identification, not his race as Moroccans seemed to consider him black when calling him "al-Sudani" but, admittedly that nisba could be moreso alluding to his location of origin and not his features.

[@ajjack2322]

He was a Sanhaja berber, who for the most part in the modern world would be considered black, but the distinction was more about the peoples and not race. His people, the sanhaja, had already been greatly Islamized to a point that the more northern berbers and arabs considered their scholarship and opinions as valid but as for Mandes and Songhais, who are the black people in question, it was different. They were not yet fully Islamized and their imams and scholars were usually not regarded highly in other parts at that time. Baba was differentiating by people or tribe not by race also he promoted a lot of Mande and Songhai scholars to the rest of the Muslim world.

[@michaelmura9552]

J J I appreciate your response with the knowledge you have, but I don't think the Sanhaja were just black, it seems like there were probably different types in there. As far as I know there's no evidence proving we can call them a black people which is what throws Ahmed's "race" into question. I have a feeling he was black since Moroccans called him "Sudani", so I'm not largely questioning that, my main interest is where is the source that says he called himself "The Black". Again, thanks for answering.

[@mancyd9347]

They said the trade in books was the biggest trade. But people always say Africans only had an oral tradition. 🤔 You're absolutely right about this and it is a great point that needs to be explained. Remember Africa was the first continent into which Islam spread from Southwest Asia, during the early 7th century CE.. So we're talking the 11th century of course by then Africans had done learned everything about Arabic , mastered it, and they would use it for writing. It's been established that's one the reasons Africans never felt they needed to come up with scripts of their own. Now the question is did Africans contributed too much in Arabic and ended up loosing their own mores for Islam? Even though big African figures like KANKAN MOUSSA gave the impression to have fully embraced Islamic culture, but most people don't know it was actually by desire to learn about the unknown as much as one can to be aware and well informed. But gosh did the spiritual got it over reality for Muslim Africans? Well It's still a great debate till today but the majority of some African decided to be Muslim and follow that. But the short answer to your question is that this was late in the 11th century and Arabic was well known and mastered by Africans already. You Should check out guys like JEAN PHILLIP OMOTUNDE or DOUMBI FAKOLY for truth African history among others. Also the manuscripts of the city Timbuktu( said TUMBUTU by natives) are all written using the Arabic alphabet but the majority of them is actually for an African audience that lies in the deepest part of the Mali empire, which included the actual today's mali, Gambia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Niger, Burkina, part of Nigeria and so on. They used the fact that Arabic is a phonetic language to write in their African languages. You can write about any languages with Arabic scripts sound wise because its a phonetic. language. I'll finish by saying it's sad what is happening in Mali right now to the great city of TUMBUTU

Thanks for doing a nice presentation about African history and civilization. There were many Islamic civilizations and before Africans were taken away to the west by the Europeans , Islam was our way of life, based upon divine laws and intellectual elevation and civilization. Before the Europeans introduced the bible and the worship of jesus a white god, Islam was our way of life and if anyone does some research they will find their Islamic heritage. I thank God All mighty for returning me to the way of my ancestors and away from the disbelief of the western life style and spiritual misguidance. People have to understand , man , life and the universe is Created...from Allah we came and back to him we all shall return Ameen.

Goldy Samson Islam makes people thirsty for knowledge, others make people thirsty for alcohol...ect

[@moosieh1]

Goldy Samson um, no. Those mongrels gave you islam by the sword. Yes, Jesus is white but Yahshua Hamashiach is a Black man. The Isrealites of ancient times and today are all BLACK.

A person can never be forced into Islam that is against the very essence of Islam. I think maybe you thinking of the crusaders..yeah you are.

[@moosieh1]

JusNa21 oh please. The very people who invented the Islamic religion also orchestrated the crusades. All bloodthirsty men. Apple don't fall far from the tree....

[@JusNa21]

moosieh1 Oh I'm sorry that I wasn't clear, this is a fact not an opinion. As you're clearly stating. 👋✌
