Ehya! The dark clouds of the black Jesus movement have enveloped Reno's soul - poor thing! There are lots of holes in Reno’s article, but the portion below held my attention for a while. Did he even fact-check the verse ?
This is by far the most misleading reference of all that Reno quoted. This verse (Exodus 18:24) only refers to the advice Jethro gave to Moses when he was burning himself out due to judging the Israelites singlehandedly. Please step back and read the whole of Exodus 18 to in order to put this verse in the right context. No where was there a nention of Jethro teaching Moses anything Judaism in the chapter or even in the whole Bible. Exodus 18:13 – 14 :13 And so it was, on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening. 14 So when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?” 17 So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good. 18 Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself. 19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. 20 And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. 21 Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 22 And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for they will bear the burden with you. 23 If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace.” 24 So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. 25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 So they judged the people at all times; the hard[i] cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves. |

But Nimrod was a curse one. Read the bible carefully, You will find out that Nimrod intelligence brought this mess of different languages all over the world today. Haven't said that, Those who rewrite the bible have a lot to say mehn. Something is always missing. |

There are some elements of truth here. Most knowledgeable blacks and even arabs know the truth. Slavery started with blacks (Namrud) and ended with blacks,(mostly of the Yorubas (Lamurudu) Namrud people) and hence the oracle has come full circle. If you know who you are, no one will ever look down on You. Hence, the Yorubas are generally outstanding among all black race. The culture and language survived generations and across continents. The Oracle knowledge and applications is 2nd to none. God has had mercy on our ancestors mistakes. |

KingSango: I agree with you here and would add that, to truly get understanding African history, certain conditions are to hold; one is to disregard rhetoric, hear say and all other anti-African discourse with regards to history. Furthermore, to regard African history as genuine, If it isn’t written, deliberated-upon or judged by Africans to be correct and accurate beyond reasonable doubt, such writings that fit into these category must, for now, simply be deemed inadmissible. The only true African history is that which is determined by African(s), by default all other versions are false. The discourse on European history is primarily exclusive to European writers. The discourse on Asia’s history is primarily exclusive to Asian writers. The discourse on Africa’s history is primarily badly concocted by European and Asian writers. That is where all of us (you and I) come in and repair the damage for the benefit of the next generations and our own overstanding. Majority of ‘Classical’ European deities and divinities came directly from an African divinity, in some ways, they (the foreigners) would snatch an entire concept of ‘divine’ and transplant the same concept into their communities i.e Andromeda, Hermes, Zeus e.t.c Greeks Zeus and many other mainland African divinity that the Greeks and Romans implanted into their philosophy; even though their total disregard for intellectual property is something that will haunt them forever. Roman Apollo same type of activity occurs; same thing with the Persians. |

benjibabs: This is where you could have missed the point. For the fact that the bible only referenced the “judges appointment only” does not mean that there have not been other meaningful advice and discussions between them. For Moses to have listened to his father in law, means that he must have won Moses’s trust. He was definitely Moses mentor. 19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Moses Father in-law was a black man who believed in God... possibly before Moses |

All the earlier communities are said to have started in and around West Africa. African academics are studying tirelessly to correct world history. To perceive the truth behind world history, one has to first accept the fact that the versions they all peddle to us cannot be accurate. Start from the beginning and work your way to the present times; a daunting preposition but very effective indeed. Africans have the absolute right to reject the history that is peddled by Eurocentrism and Asian rhetoric, for many reasons, the obvious being that neither of their versions of history can really be trusted. Under every law under our Sun, it’s universal, the right to be allowed to write ones’s own history without any negative or foreign influence. You simply cannot be wrong in trying to correct the writing of your own history. Nobody can really understand African history better than an African. African history and world history are flawlessly linked, especially when African history spans through out all the Ages experience by humans; one of a kind. All the major significant stages in human development, thought, speech, text, art, agriculture, commerce, architecture, mathematics, philosophy, physicians, music e.t.c all started, developed, improved and mastered whilst Africans are the only people on the planet. |

The true chronology of human history has it that everyone starts in Africa and later migrate to all the four corners of the globe. Africans are the first people to arrive in the Americas populate and build communities. Africans are the first people to arrive in Asia populate and build communities. Africans are the first people to arrive in Australasia populate and build communities. Africans are the first people to arrive in Europe populate and build communities. Africans are the first ever Eskimos Conclusion, every single ethnic group on our planet are a product of the first generation of humans; the first generation of humans are Africans. Any other theory or hypothesis in living memory does not stand up to these simple truth. |
