African Manifesto
The fact is there is nothing that you can trust; and that is a terrible fact, whether you like it or not. Psychologically there is nothing in the world, that you can put your faith, your trust, or your belief in. Neither your gods, nor your science can save you, can bring you psychological certainty; and you have to accept that you can trust in absolutely nothing.1962 2nd Public Talk, BombayJ.Krishnamurti
My main point here is that if you are the child of God and God is a part of you, the in your imagination God suppose to look like you. And when you accept a picture of the deity assigned to you by another people, you become the spiritual prisoners of that other people. John Henrik Clarke
Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors, and used as the framework to control their minds. John Henrik Clarke
It was once said 'If you do not know your history, you will repeat it'
The present is defined as 500 years after Christopher Columbus. Most of the world powers today is a direct reflection of Colonalism and the Slave Trade.
Topics we need to know
Our History did not begin with the Slave Trade.
The Arab Slave Trade started first, lasted longer and was far more divistating and is still going on today.
We are scatter all over the world not just in the Americas.
Divide and Conquer is still working.
We are repeating history
We do not know our history.
The Scramble for Africa The Scramble for Africa, also known as the Race for Africa, was the proliferation of conflicting European claims to African territory during the New Imperialism period, between the 1880s and World War I in 1914.
The Europeans possessed attitudes of superiority and a sense of mission. Khapoya compares and contrasts three colonial powers: the French, the British and the Portuguese. The French were able to accept an African as French, if they gave up their African culture and adopted French ways, even including marriage with a (white) French person.
“Africans and persons of African descent must assume the primary responsibility and leadership in historical research….if we are to continue to leave practically all important historical research and writing concerning the black race to the white man, then we must be prepared to accept, uncomplainingly, the white man’s point of view.” Chancellor Williams
The victors wrote our historyand in some cases change it as they saw fit. As African people we have to seek the truth to universal harm that has been bestowed upon us. The Manifesto is an analysis of our history until the present day.With the knowledge of our ancestorial past, we will be able to unravel the confusion that have hinder our progression and, stymied and social growth.
We have to do away with the myths, misconceptions, lies and outside influence that stands in the way of our progress. Currently,there is an effort to misidentify our African heroes and there still is an effort to deliberately misconstrue the truth. Africans are scatter around the world, disconnected and embedded in different cultures and embracing other societies visions.
The MythsI am apt to suspect the Negroes...to be naturally inferior to the White. There never was acivilized nation of any other complexion than white. David Hume, European Philosopher
When we classify mankind by color, the only one of the primary races...which has not madea creative contribution to any of our twenty-one civilizations is the black race Arnold Toynbee,Historian
A Black skin means membership in a race of men which has never created a civilizationof any kind. John Burgess, Scholar
The Arab Invasion“Arab imperialism, though seldom acknowledged, has been even more devastating for African people than European imperialism; and the Arab’s white superiority complex is not one white less than that of Europeans although their strategy of ‘brotherhood’ deceives naive Blacks. The forces behind the continuous splintering of already small groups and even the breaking up of kingdoms and empires, followed by the equally endless migrations, included the steadily increasing death of the soil and the advance of the deserts; the drying up of lakes and rivers, along with the attending climatic changes and internal strife—combined with foreign invasions and famine to become a way of life. “Chancellor Williams
