ARE WE AFRICANS? 1 |

| This will by far be the most controversial and astonishing chapter yet! Trying to convince the Black Man in America that he's not an African, is like trying to separate the stink from a fresh pile of cow manure; for some reason you just can't seem to do it! One of the biggest mistakes that Black people in America make is trying to identify themselves with all dark-skinned people on the planet. All people of color are not the same people! The Arabs, the East Indians, the Hawaiians, the Eskimos, the Samoans & Polynesian people, the aboriginal Australians, the Africans, and the Black people here in the Americas and the Caribbean are all dark- skinned people; but they are not all the same people! The Black and Hispanic man in the Americas and the Caribbean have NOTHING to do with ANY of these other groups of people as far as nationality and ethnicity are concerned. | ||||||
| Allow me to pose this question to the reader of this text. When the slave master was whipping his slaves on the plantation, what do you think was his intended purpose for doing so? It was to break the slave down. It was to create a docile, obedient servant by the use of force. This could only be accomplished by removing any remembrance of the slave's glorious past from out of his or her mind. A few slaves would be used as public examples of violence in front of all the other slaves in order to show what would happen to them should they choose to resist the will of the slave master. | ||||||
