The Strangulation Of Black History

The Strangulation Of Black History


The next thing most black people will be engaged in is black history month, which is important o us all. One of the most frequent statements I hear is they didn't teach black history at school. This is an unacceptable statement, which is directed at the education authorities. The reason why I believe this is wrong is because the teaching is more sensitive than even sex education. Like sex education there are parts of our history, which is the sole duty of we as parents to relay to our children.
The reason why many of us are lacking in the knowledge of our history lies with our parents. The greatest obstacle in us exploring our history lies with the first we were allowed to read after the abolishing of slavery. We as a people cling to the bible as the only toy of deprived children. The bible is not our history, but we have in fact embraced someone else's history, and myth as our own. If you were to read Dickens you would have a fairly good idea what life was like living in the UK during that period. The fact still remains that the works of Dickens is still fiction. The bible is no different in relationship to the Jewish people, with extreme supernatural fiction.
The point I making is if you or I as parents are prepared to lie to our children, due to ignorance or our history we have no reason to blame school teachers. What gives us the confidence to think that if we were taught black history in a C of E or a RC school, it would have been progressive? These are faiths, which were built on extreme racism, and the fact that we know this should have driven us to seek out our history. What we did instead was created an apartheid and segregation of the said faith, which was responsible for committing the greatest crimes against us as a people. One of the most noticeable factors is that every religion there is a third party. If you're not affiliating to these third parties, your faith is of no value. This is put in place to prevent us from thinking for ourselves, and leave ourselves vulnerable to a corrupt forces. Third parties serves one and only one purpose, and that is to prevent you from knowing and meeting the main man.
If you are reading this with alarm, it might just prove the point that the bible is the core element preventing us from functioning as an independent people. The fact is that we will always be seeing things through another people's eyes. We make history every day, and one of the most important, and yet ignored fact is that our faith is a borrowed one. So long as we continue to ignore that fact we will always be blinded to our true history. The psychological effect of the deprived child with its only toy becomes apparent. We are programmed not to question that which is written within the bible, the reason for this is to stifle and progressive thinking, which may arise. The historically lead to many of our great leaders and teachers to face prosecution by the powers that be. In other words the bible is the ultimate chip, which was place in our brain and is still in activation mode today. Your reaction will be proof of how well the chip is still working, and will conform whether or not you are ready to take in both the beautiful and even the ugly parts of your history.

(Without the knowledge of your history you cannot determine your destiny)
