ARE WE AFRICANS 5
|
To offer one last bit
of proof that we are not Africans I will go to another source besides the
Bible. In Young's Compact Bible Dictionary, pages 255-256, under the
definition of Ham, it states the following: |
A son of Noah and
father of Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. See further on each of these four.
While they may have all been dark-skinned, they were not the forefathers
of the negroid races, but rather of people associated with Egypt in the N
of the continent of Africa. Now how about that! Now mind you, us Black
folks don't print these bible dictionaries up, White folks do. Why is it
that they know more about you than you know about yourselves? You can find
this same information in the Zondervan Publications Compact Bible
Dictionary. You know, I'll bet there's some Black person reading this book
right now that's angry as hell that I attacked his or her beliefs in
Afrocentricity. All I can say to them is: Galatians 4:16 - Am I therefore
become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? John 8:45 - And because I
tell you the truth ye believe me not. |
Is Africa the
motherland? Truth:No, it is not. Galatians 4:26 - But Jerusalem which is
above is free, which is the mother of us all. Also in J.A. Rogers' book
100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof, Fact No. 17 states: |
The present Negro race
of Africa perhaps did not originate there but Asia and Oceana. The
earliest inhabitants of Africa were not black but brown. Today the peoples
of mixed and unmixed Negro descent living in Asia and Oceana probably
exceed in number the present Negro population of Africa. One of the
principal reasons for this theory, as Delafosse says, is all the Negro
tribes of Africa assert that their first ancestors came from the East.
This is true. They came from the Middle East from the area of the Fertile
Crescent; which encompasses the northern tip of Africa, the land of
Canaan, and Mesopotamia. From this location, mankind branched out to all
corners of the earth to make different nations and families. In addition,
when you take a look at Genesis 2:10-14, it identifies four rivers
encompassing the Garden of Eden. The river that went out of Eden and
became into four heads is the Jordan River. The river that compasseth the
whole land of Havilah is the Red Sea. The river that compasseth the whole
land of Ethiopia is the Nile. The river that goeth toward the east of
Assyria is the Tigris River. And the fourth river is the Euphrates river.
If you look at the land between these four rivers, you will find the area
known as the Fertile Crescent; so named because the land is very fertile
with minerals in its soil and the land itself is in the shape of a
crescent moon. |
