So for most of us in the modern world, some of us in the western Diasporas and a few in the east, we pay respect and homage to our brothers and sisters of African ancestry or more so ascendancy in this month that is designated so proudly to them by the world superpower, but I ask just this one question, “why do they get the second month of this our popular Gregorian calendar and not the first month instead?”. I say this because it is only fair according to history that it was due to the hard labour which was and still is imposed on the people that this period is designated for, caused many empires from the times of extreme ancient civilizations to present day, to thrive and prosper so bountifully.
But what do we know of nation of the so called afro – whoever, what is his origin, is it only found in the text of the historical canonicals that have invaded the educational system of the world in this present era that teaches the doctrines of the slave trade and the horrors experienced by those that made it possible or does this history go back much further than that of which is only known to us? We of this modern era do owe the people of this nation gratitude for many reasons, their inventions and ideas that were bought over and sold to the highest bidder in some cases due to the lack of funding, financial incapacitation or the true misrepresented heritage because of the inheritance bankruptcy through the four hundred job (Juggling Of Bails or Bundles of cane/cotton) which they never applied for, entertainers, medical magician (doctors), educators, great and powerful rulers both past and present, names of these great people of a great nation I will not mention for we all know who they are, the music that we all enjoy, that soothing rhythm that the drums of their heritage produce, their thunderous melodies representing the power of a nation, fallen but still strong and indestructible, the class of the way of dress, the various dialects throughout the nation, unmatched is the essence of the so called black man. He has the spirit of perseverance, resilience and determination unlike any other, moreover he is the most peculiar and unpredictable nation. It’s quite ironic that back then they met all requirements for the job but now most don’t.
But many may ask is that it? To that I say no but offer you this suggestion to verify what I said before for this was also through in depth research and referrals, take a look into that history book we all called the bible, and let us really open our minds to the facts and not close our ears nor eyes to reality. The part where I am suggesting you take a look at is found in Deuteronomy 28, now you don’t have to take my word for it, but if you do consider this after reading which other nation has been treated like that, and does the world realize it, more so how should they be treated in this era by the people of this time. I can go on to say more, but hey it’s only a blog.

good post guys but i believe it could have been a bit more deep, nonetheless are there any other references other than the history text suggested.
ReplyDeletei agree with Jade on this one but we must single out that some of our black entertainers are not doing anything to support the cause of mental freedom , some of them continue to degrade our women and themselves by profane acts and lyrics in their music, but for them i guess its anything for a dollar.
