While it’ s absolutely normal for people to have opinions, it’ s no less important to try and understand the whys and wherefores, to try and decipher the behavior of the global black community.
What better way to understand? If there is, it’ s history. Human tragedy is the essence of history, which is never frozen in time, but a perpetual continuation in motion. So the past is the present that defines the future, and when that past is manipulated and misunderstood, the result can only be what the manipulators want. In this sense, to possess a people’ s past is almost to possess their soul, and to influence their present and future with certainty. It’ s also important to understand that if there is historical manipulation, it’ s because there’ s something to hide in order to perpetuate the system of predation. And the main victim of this manipulation is the truth about the strategies of resistance to slavery and colonization.
The truths are out there, but there’ s a certain weakness in people’ s minds to investigate them, because it’ s important to know that even in a false historical narrative you can glimpse the truth in contrast if you take the trouble. And the important truth that emerges from this investigation is clear and unequivocal: African-Americans have problems with Africans because they are the community that has suffered the greatest brainwashing in an uprooting of unprecedented brutality, when the doctrine of American exceptionalism completed an Ubuesque picture that even makes some deny any hereditary lineage to Africa.
