{UAH} Lado views on Religion and Racism in Africa
Religion and Racism.
Early times and very closely to the Western Europeans, there seemed to have a belief that there was an integral connection between Virtue and Manliness and later to Skin Colour being of Mankind. The trends of this belief were clearly influenced by the White Caucasian Europeans especially by the Makers of (Judea – Christians ) as their religious system, tenet or practice of Christianity as superior to other religions, hence nearly coming to build of themselves in a probably term like "Judea – Christianism philosophy" anyway to know of them and that is if we can accept to add the prefix term --- ism to Judea –Christians just like adding the same prefix to Islam becoming Islamism. These makers of themselves to be in fact came up really later with their needs to denigrate the other People they were exterminating, enslaving and exploiting in other Continents.
These Europeans and their fellow fair colour White skins, just like now, some being referred to as the Arabs continued and still continue in their expansion and arrogance and optimism flowing from their belief which has now become and is being interpreted by them as a new important predominance of the paradigm of progress. Yet they know that the denigrated Black Egyptians (The Early Tamera / or Tamari People) and the later Phoenicians who were not even White Caucasians but of Black roots, all gave their all today's possessed Cultural Superiority they claim to be or of being Superior to all Blacks People and others under their command rule. As they say often "Later is better" of knowledge they inherited or acquired from the Blacks to expand on then. For the World public not to be aware of the inheritance, the only thing possibly was to demise the Black and other following races under them now.
Really, the 19th century revealed and depicted an increasing pejorative Racial classifications even Christianity like all other Religions was not able to restore its position on the Unity of Mankind. Whatever the Racism took its form, the new Principle of Ethnicity pervaded all areas of life and pejorative anyway. As for Negro - Black race, is still attributed being marked by Black complexion, crisped or woolly hair, compressed cranium and a flat nose with the projection of the lower parts of the face, and the thick lips evidently approximate to the monkey tribe of the hordes of which it consists which other races of colour say to themselves and in their belief has always remained in the most complete state of Barbarism. In other words for them, the Black variety is the lowest and lies at the bottom of the ladder of Animal character lent to its basic form imposing its destiny from of conception and which never leaves the most restricted intellectual zones.
They believe and say the Blacks faculties for thinking are mediocre or even non-existent thinking and possessing in its desire and as a consequence in its will that gives an intensity that is always terrible compared to other races. The White European Caucasians therefore started and in one way or the other pretended and still may do so, treating Blacks as badly as they did throughout the 19th century in the period of their colonization of the Mother Continent Africa. The Blacks had to be turned into animals or at best to be treated and known as sub humans to the white skin noble Caucasians. This incision in its form really set the scene for the racial and the main aspect for the Black / Negroid problem.
If it had been scientifically proved that Blacks / Negroid were biologically incapable of civilization, but how would one explain Ancient Black Egyptians who for them were inconveniently placed in the Black Mother Continent of Africa?
Answer: I think the answers are just that -
1. The first was for the Caucasians to deny that, the first Ancient Black Egyptians were not Black Human beings.
2. The second was to deny that the Black Egyptians had created a true civilization.
3. The third was then by them to make doubly sure by denying the first and second statements.
This last third has been preferred most by them in the 19th to 20th century Caucasian Historians to impress the World opinion. These Historians ought to have thought that the Blacks' history ought to change by misinforming the public world. In fact they adamantly emphasize that the Black as a People belong to the lowest dark ages of civilization as compared to the prosperous white Caucasian civilization of today bestowed upon them by the Almighty Divine Power who has given to them all the powers to rule other People and own their Land areas only on this Planet Earth.
Who are really Blacks / Negroid or (Africanis) if we may call them so as well)?
The Homo sapiens history now is about the product of 14 million years of evolution, emerged first in the Continent of Africa whereby the Negroid migrated out:
First, The Africanis moved to the Continent of Asia where they branched off to Malesia and Australia to form Africanis populations there.
Second, other groups of Negros migrated out of Africa and to form the occupied western Eurasia plains.
Thirdly, a small sub group of the Africanis population who moved to around 51st parallel of Eurasia became isolated during the mild warm period in a frigid sunless environment and there they evolved into white skin Caucasoid or what we call today as the white color People on this Planet Earth.
Fourthly, other Africanis in south Southern Asia Continent wondered north wards into Mongolian steppes and under unwanted changes in a treeless, cold wind environment they produced the population who became known as Mongoloids. Some groups of these Mongoloids moved away and crossed the Bering Land Bridge between the Continent Asia and the Continent of America.
In the period of the millenniums they occupied the entire western hemisphere. After a time there, there happened intermittent constant intermingling between the Asian Mongoloids and the Caucasoid of the already turned out to be white people in one sense from the south western edge of the Eurasian Land mass areas. These are all in all the accounts for the phenotype and genetic relationships seen between the so called Races of today anyway on this Planet Earth.
To quote Professor C.A Diop – "La Race n'exist pas" meaning Race none exists or does not exist. By this is meant that all Human beings belong to the same species and their genetic differences are necessarily minute/ or indeed tiny to the point of insignificance. This, however, does not preclude the delineation of Human being groups who broadly speaking belong to which group --- for example to which / or group Lado people in Sudan Central Africa belong to or even to which Latin People belong to.
We all know for example that, much of Greek and Roman civilization: that of Religion, Astronomy, Science architecture, medicine and many other spheres of knowledge in the western European civilization bear their unmistakable stamp of the Black African parenthood. Physical and Cultural dates exist to document the ancient migrants of the Black African people to India, China, Japan, Philippines, the Pacific Islands, North and South American Continents. Therefore, it should come of no surprise to any reader of this book here that the Black Africans have been in the whole of the African Continent first in their different occupying geographical areas in the whole Continent of Africa. For example the Lado People settled in their geographical Territory they called Lado in Africa. When for example we take in the Greeks or Roman civilizations in terms of Religion, Astronomy, Medicine studies including many other areas of knowledge affairs in the western European world, their civilization bear unmistakable stamp of African parenthood. The physical and cultural dates exist to the document of the ancient migrants of African People to India, China, Japan, Philippines to the Pacific Islands and north Continents of South and North America. There it should come of no surprise to the reader of this book that the whole Black People have been in the whole Continent of Africa first living in their different groups.
The African Religion called Pagan compared to other Religions
In the discussion to open here, let's take Roman Catholic Religion as an example first. When the Black Africans occupied Rome thus Rome becoming Roman African then, was Roman in Name and Government, but not in Population. The names of the Gods and People only became "in Latinization "(as Latin was the language of the Masters of commerce. But truly the majority of the People were Black and the Punic language of black origin was spoken until the Islamic invasion of Rome in the 8th century. The Black African influence was far reaching in those very early times. But truly, the majority of the People were Blacks and the Punic Language was spoken until the Islamic invasion of Rome in the 8th century. As just said here now, African influence was far reaching in those very early times. In fact the earliest and most renewed Authors in Rome were Africans: from Terrence to Apuleius. Several of the early Saints of the Church were Africans. Just to say, one of the most Zealous Churches of early Christianity was then from Africa. Three of the early Popes of the Roman Catholic were Blacks; They were: Ss Gelasius, Miltilde and Victor I. They occupied the Papal Chair between the second and firth centuries A.D and made significant contributions to the growth of Christianity and to the development of the Roman Catholic Church Faith. And frankly speaking and writing hereby, it does not surprise Lado People in Africa in the course of time as they gave a welcome to the Catholic Missionaries arrival in Lado in around from 1711 then.
More about Blacks to know
Quoting Authors like Boule and Vallois --- In their findings, which must have started somewhere and that is about the Grimaldi Negros – of Black origins, they state that, the Grimaldi were certainly Africans (Black Africans). Boule and Vallois state that there was a prehistoric Cultural connections between the Blacks of Africa and those of Europe as the two centers were united as founded out today by a long connected series of works of Art - from France to the Cape town in South Africa by the way of Spain, North Africa through to Sudan – (The Black Land Areas south of Sahara desert) including Transvaal in South Africa as described today by some scholars. This almost uninterrupted series lead to the regard that, the African Continent was and has been a center of important migrations which at certain times may have played a great part in the stocking of South Europe by the Black Africans before advancing to occupy more many Areas of the northern parts of Europe - the Eurasian Lands.
Note: As scholarly studies indicate, "For the quaternary Periods" as Author Du Bois writes: Sicily actually formed part of Italian main Land. That, its population of People was a race of more or less Ethiopic – of the Black type who filtered in among the People inhabiting European Latitudes and later withdrawing themselves to their primitive ( original ) habitat areas in the Continent of Africa. They did that.
About the Moors - Who were / or the Moor People in the World?
Kushite / or sometimes called Ethiopia and Egyptian were both Empires of the Ancient Black Africa and they collapsed within a few centuries of each other. Both in fact had thousands of years of achievements in Art, Science and Philosophy which died only after centuries of the birth of Jesus Christ. Following the internal stresses and conflicts within themselves, the Foreign Invaders who took advantage of the conflicts contributed to the destruction of the African civilization then – set up by these Kushite People.
After centuries of encouraging the foreign enterprises later, Egypt in herself became totally overrun by the different walks of invaders - (The Persians, the Macedonians and Romans). It is hereby in consequence, the African civilization which had so long inspired the World was plunged into historical oblivion really.
A new Culture began to developed which would later generate a resurgence of activity in the Arts and Sciences as well as the fiery passion of a New Religion Affairs which would consume all of the North Africa and would also affect the embryonic Nations such as Spain and France of Europe and eventually destroying the civilization which too had already evolved with a Cultural magic of their own --- that is in China, India and Mesopotamia. This new Religion became known as "of Islam".
The history of the Moors and their contributions would only be neglected by traditional Historians
That is for example, the Moors who conquered Spain cultural developments completely neglected and merely treated of African influence became placed same way like that of Olmec , the Egyptians , the Hatappan of the Indus valley. However, we all know that the Moors culture was largely of black origin , bright in its achievements and powerful in its influence on western European civilization that took place anyway.
The root of the term name Moor
All the the term Moor has been put to diverse use, its roots are still traceable . Around / circa 46 B.C, the Roman army entered west Africa whereby they encountered black Africans whom they called "Maure" from the Greek adjective (Mauro's " meaning Dark or Black. The Country of Maure was called the Mauretania (not to be confused with the Islamic Republic State of Mauritania of today) which extended up to what is now northern Morocco and western Algeria. The Greeks themselves approaching from the east to reach Egypt , called the Backs Africans they found there as the Ethiops - from the Greek word " Aithein " meaning Burn / or burned and " ops " meaning Face . Ancient Ethiopia who were by then called the Kush / or Cush existing as an Empire was already located too by the Greeks and Romans in the same location of the present country Ethiopia of today in the horn of the continent of Africa ( precisely in Eastern part of Africa ) . Ethiopia sometimes was also called / or known as Abyssinia by the Africans . For both the Romans and the Greeks , Ethiopia indicated more than one ethnic group anyway .
In fact Herodotus , for example , noted that Ethiopians or the Black faces ( Moors ) occupied the whole continent of Africa from Egypt they became so much acquainted with to the south and west up to Libya in North Africa . Therefore , it became clear the Europeans started using the name words Moor and Ethiopia almost interchangeably referring to all Blacks . This included the Moor tribes living in the Sahara desert known as / or called Garaments whose culture could not yet have been defined by them .
About the Garamantes
The earliest mention about / or of the Garamantes comes from Herodotus who described them in the 5th century B.C , as being of sedentary lifestyle . Their endeavors in Agriculture and commerce had made them very powerful in around second century B.C . Their habit changed from being sedentary and changed to becoming nomads living in tents and making seasonal migrations into the southern parts of the Sahara desert whereby they started composing themselves into relative different tribes inclinations dwelling in towns and villages they made . Others remained as nomads still . Those who stayed in towns or villages and to protect themselves from foreign attacks developed military prowess to complete their economic power . For this reason Tacitus called them " The Invincible " . In the 1st Century , in fact Rome got in time to learn how powerful these Negros were really . Unable to subdue them , Rome actually had to join them for several trading and exploratory expeditions in their territory ,perimeter areas of the scythe coast extending to the south east of the Sahara desert up to the Nile river
About the Moors and the Arabs / or ( as Afro - Arabs could be said )
It must be noted first and hereby that , the surface Land / or Territory Area called Arabia / or known as the Arabian peninsula was first inhabitate and much populated by the Black People who were known as the wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire - for one can say the Cushite's were then the original Arabs forming the oldest Ethiopian or Black colony of Arabia Land - Territory . From here , they spread to northwards and eastwards over Yemen , Hadramant and Oman.
In fact the Greeks made no distinction between the Mother Country Ethiopia in Africa and her colony in Arabian peninsula , calling them both as Ethiopia . However , through some Religion Biblical assays placing the today' called Arabs as Hamites - descendants of Ham from whom the Black race is said to have sprung or originated from . The name Ham comes all a long from m the name Himyar or the dusk People given to those who were of ruling race . The Himyarite language , now lost , but some of which is preserved still is in fact in African origin and linguistic character . The language grammar is or identified with that of Abyssinia . ( Abyssinia is another name for Ethiopia by the way ) . One always notes that the inhabitants of Yemen , Hadramants , Oman and other adjoining districts ( in Arabia ) seen in their shape of Head , skin Color length and slanderness of their limbs and scantiness of hair , all point to a black African origin . Stone engravings , thousand of years old and as well as modern photographs of the so called Arabians today bear testimony to the Black African characteristics to the Cushite Ethiopians or the Abyssinians' . It is noted beyond doubt ( according to Houston ) that : the Culture of the Saracens and Islam arouse and only flourished from engrafting Semitic blood upon the older Cushitic - Ethiopians of the Black root . >>>> Saracens was a term widely used among Christian writers in Europe during the Middle Ages . The term's meaning evolved during its history . In the early centuries A.D , Greek and Latin writings used this term to refer to the people who lived in desert areas in and near the Roman province of Arabia Roman and who were specifically distinguished as a people from others known as Arabs . In Europe during the Early Medieval era , the term came to be associated with the so called becoming new Arab tribes of today as well . By the 12th century, "Saracen " had become synonymous with " Muslim " in Medieval Latin literature <<<< .
Also Author W.E. B. Dubois makes some interesting points regarding the use of the word " Arab " since many Arabs are dark skinned as we see them , sometimes practically Black , often having Negroid features and hair that is Negro in quality ; concludes that the term expression Arab has / or has evolved into a definition that is more of Religion / Religious issues than Racial Issues . So one can say the term " Arab " has a cultural value and therefore is a little / or of no ethnic - People significance and therefore the term name is very misleading calling some People as Arabs and some not .
About Islam Wars - " Jihad "
If Islam meant : Salvation , Peace and Submission , it could not therefore be attained through use of force but unfortunately to the dismay to many People it happened mostly through the Jihad wars to convert forcefully in its earlier times just like the Judea Christians did in their Christian Crusade wars against non Christians . Bible in one hand and the Gun in the hand in the name of their Religions and God . Both Religions ( Judea - Christianism and Islam were forms of Terrorism only
In the Native Homeland Arabia , Mohomet / or Mohammed rallied a great numbers of Black warriors and set out to subdue the East Land areas in Asia and its People reaching up to India . Mohamed's death in 632 A.D did not stop the tremendous onslaught by his Arabian Knights / or Crusades , as they continued , eventually reaching West to the Atlantic ocean cost of West Africa and later to continue North west to Spain and France , continued to north reaching Russia . In North Africa , the Crusades / the so called the Arabia Knights claimed Egypt in 638 , Tripoli - Libya in 643 , and South west Morocco in 681 and that is , with the bulk of North Africa countries united under the name as followers in worship of their God named ALLAH looked afterwards north to conquer Iberia - " Land of Rivers " now known as / or called Spain and Portugal .
Thanks to these Mohomet's followers who got found among the African BLACK MOORS the most powerful military Officers and who turned out to be in large numbers forming the Jihad Army who later were sent to conquer Iberia .
From North Africa the Mohomet's followers were also sent southwards to the interior of Africa invading the Sudan ( Black Land Areas and its People to be converted in the Continent of Africa as a whole ) . Converting the Black Africans to Islam was not simple as it turned out on the Black Africans . They did it by military force use , these Mohomet's followers whose aims were only to search and take away the Black Africans as Slaves and for the Save trade purposes only . By 1840 the Slave Trade of the Africans had reached its peak as the Western Europeans joined in the Trade with their counterpart of the so called , who much appreciated themselves to be called Arabs ( as the fair white / or brown Color skin People distinguishing themselves from the Black skin People who they say lived only in the sub – Sahara desert regions of Africa They forget that the whole of North African Regions and of the Sahara desert still were too , in fact first inhabited by the Blacks / or dark skin People . For these Arabs it seems the degree of racism really depends on skin color only , thus in the end denigrating Black People attributing to Blacks being sub- human groups who have no knowledge Affairs of anything on this globe earth , let alone of Religion affairs then . Blacks for them were simply to be used to satisfy their interests .
It is from here - 1840 onwards that Lado People became fully engaged fighting these Western Europeans together with the so called Muslims / or Mohamed's invaders of the Heart of Africa - ( Sudan Central Africa - Lado ) under the Islamized Ottomans who were ruling Egypt from 1571. From Egypt the combined military forces moved southwards to reach Lado which they finally occupied in 1871 with the support of the Christian European tyrannical gladiator like Soldiers who had joined the Ottoman Army - ( A great deal is said already in book about the Occupation of Lado ) . And till to date these foreigners ( Europeans : Great Britain and Belgium ) continue occupying Lado for their Political , Economic and Religious interests using various tactics now to control Lado claiming that Slave trade of the Black African People ended in Africa by 1840 . NO , Slave trade never ended but they the slave traders only changed tactics as is already explained in this book : One of the magic secrecy weapon has been and is still Religion being for controlling other People's minds only to think of the imaginary God they have brought to believe in and through by them the Slave traders . Mental mind destruction being made on the Black People being tricked used in believing to been given independences which meant , a way of enslaving the Blacks on their own Lands in the Continent of Africa , and that is as if their God told them first to colonize other People to be dependent and later than to be dependent . Who the hell or what kind of God is this of theirs really ?
