BLACK HISTORY ! (391 hits)

BLACK HISTORY !

Black History Month actually started as Negro History Week in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson. The goal of Black History Week was to educate the American people about African-Americans' cultural backgrounds and reputable achievements.

his purpose was for the history of African Americans to become considered a more significant part of American history as a whole. The purpose of Black History Month is to promote awareness of African American history to the general public. It is arguable that despite the opinions of several critics, Black History Month has several advantages, and to an extent.
During Black History Month, African American history is taught to thousands of students at the elementary, high school and university levels respectively. African American history is an extremely important part of American history, and it is almost impossible to find an American History textbook that does not include passages about black history.

Black history month is a time to recognize the efforts of African Americans who have risk their lives, broke laws, and stand up for what they believe.

Hello to All,

Let us be honest and realistic with ourselves and I am specifically addressing Black Americans.
Let's not fool ourselves that Black Americans of the most ignorant people in this country and therefore our ideas, concepts and the way we think are just this ignorant as we are. Black Americans are ignorant because we are descendents of slaves and slaves are not intelligent people and that is why they are slaves. Does that make sense to you all?

Firstly, Black Americans are not African Americans as the blogger seems to think. An African-American is an African that has become an American citizen. A Black American was on a citizen since White Americans out rightly own their slaves.
In addition, Black Americans are a new race of people born out of the ashes of plantation slavery when White Americans consistently bred themselves with the first wave of African slaves in an effort to increase their slave holdings that they would not have to buy Africans every time the slave ship came to shores America. Am I making any sense?

Secondly, the Jubilee and focus of Black America's so-called history in White America is a distraction to what Black Americans must have and that is absolute sovereignty on a reasonable and fertile portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to worship God, pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.

In other words, Black Americans must have exactly what God did for the children of Israel when they were in bondage over 400 years in Egypt 4000 years ago. Anything less would mean that Black Americans are still a subjugated people as we presently are today.

So, let us stop being stupid and not be distracted. Pharaoh gave the children of Israel a Hebrew month to celebrate their Hebrew History in Egypt and we know that the history of the children of Israel in Egypt was making bricks without straws which are the work of subjugated people.

Black Americans want life as the children of Israel wanted life as well and God gave them life by freeing them from bondage and slavery in Egypt.

Any Black American that is proud of any achievement Black Americans have made in this country and not wanting to be sovereign after understanding my point as your prophet is an idiot.

Carter G. Woodson was ignorant and he was before my anointing and I excuse him for his ignorance but I will not excuse you all since you all have the benefit to rationalize the things I say. There is absolutely no excuse for you all to be ignorant today since I am here.

Consequentially, our focus should not be on our past and so-called Black History. Our focus should be on becoming and preparing to be a sovereign people in a country of our own on a portion of this continent.

What say you?
