Africa: A Time Of Trouble - The Coming Of The Europeans - Part 3 - Dr. John Henrik Clarke

Source: www.youtube.com
(7:49) If the africans had insight and understood what the europeans were doing to the europeans,he could have saved himself from the slave trade. If these people would do that to their children,there is nothing for me to expect. And when the europeans hit his shore he would have killed them on sight! That would have been the end of that. He wasn't alerted to it, He was still hung up with the fact if i have humanity ,somebody else come i'll treat him like a human being. cause i'm a human being. Treat him like a guest,and end up being a slave! That same kind of sentiment is still among african people till this very day! Still (NAIVETY) about the guest. The Aztecs in Mexico did the same thing with Cortez, when he took over Mexico,less then 2000 men took over all Mexico! came as a guest,stayed as a conquer.

WE HAVEN'T LEARN TILL THIS VERY DAY!

Black/White Alliances & the subject of being (NAIVE)
by John Henrik Clarke


If there is one thing that can be said about Black people that has caused a lot of pain, and yet is historically true, is that politically we are one of the most naive of people. We have been taken in by practically everything and everybody that has come to us.

I think this taking in and this betrayal has something to do with both our weaknesses and our strengths. If you find the strengths of a people, you will find their weaknesses because the two are closely related.We have been hospitable to strangers—nearly always to the wrong strangers! Nearly all of our relationships with non-African people began with a dinner invitation.

More than anyone else in the world we repeatedly invited our future conquerors to dinner. I'm going to be dealing with Black-White alliances, going back 2,500 years.
I think that the nature of our betrayal by people who come among us, and who solicit our help and get it, tells us a lot. It tells us something that is quite frightening, i.e., we are totally an un-obligated people.

We don't owe Christianity anything because we created the religion. The Jews bought it and sold it back to us and used it a basis for the slave trade. We created Islam; then, the Arabs after years of fruitful partnership with us, turned on us and used Islam to justify the Arab slave trade. We created the concept called socialism.

This is established in the fact that an African king 1300 years before the Birth of Christ was preaching the same thing from the throne that Karl Marx thought he invented. When the newly found socialism used us, it turned on us.


'No people are really free until they become the instrument of their own liberation. Freedom is not legacy that is bequeathed from one generation to another. Each generation must take and maintain its freedom with its own hands.' ---John Henrik Clarke
