[b]and larger chiefdoms, kingdoms, and finally empires that began the

rebirth of their long lost civilization .

The fiercest wars between the Blacks occurred in the founding and

expansion of new kingdoms and empires . For while the core groups

were voluntary confederations, expansion of an empire required the

conquest of neighboring states, usually small, independent chiefdoms,

that preferred to maintain their absolute sovereignty . The repercussions

from this forced unity by conquest were to shake the continent from

end to end centuries later when European political rule ended .

Modern Africans and students of Africa have tended to emphasize

the destructive impact of European imperialism in Africa while ignoring

the most damaging developments from the Arab impact before the

general European takeover in the last quarter of the nineteenth century,

a relatively recent period . This point is important. For one of the most

remarkable chapters in the history of the Blacks is that dealing with

those dauntless leaders and people who, having lost one state after

another along with three-fourths of their kinsmen, nevertheless overrode

all the forces of destruction and death and began to build, always once

again, still another state . From the earliest times the elimination of these

states as independent African sovereignties had been an Asian objective,

stepped up by Muslim onslaughts after the seventh century A .D . So the

reestablished black states were still being conquered and Islamized

when Europeans began to arrive in great numbers to impose their rule

over both Asians and Africans. The big thing that happened here, to

repeat, is generally glossed over, ignored or forgotten . The last being a

pretension, since a historical development of this magnitude could

hardly be forgotten by serious writers on Africa . For what happened,

very simply, was that European imperialism in Africa checked and

replaced Arab imperialism . The Arab screams against Western imperialism

are the screams of outrage against Western imperialists for checking

and subduing Eastern imperialists in the very midst of the Blacks they

had conquered . There are still countless thousands of Blacks who are

naive enough to believe that the Arabs' bitter attack on Western

colonialism show their common cause with Black Africa .[/b]

[b]It was for reasons of security that so many of these groups, later called

tribes or societies, sought the most hidden and isolated areas they could

find . This permanent separation from their kinsmen in other groups

was generally quite contrary to their hearts' desires . The original

splintering off and parting was often done in tears . But breaking up into

smaller units seemed to be the only route to survival in a permanent

crisis situation-apparently permanent, since the movement of people

over the continent had been going on so far beyond the memory of each

generation that migrations and temporary settlements were among the

most significant facts in the oral tradition of each society .

Fragmentation and isolation had two momentous consequences . The

first was that the isolation of various groups led to the development of

over two thousand different dialects and languages . The second fateful

outcome was that the rise of all these tongues widened the gulf between

the Blacks that territorial distances had already achieved . One should

pause here for reflection if there is any serious attempt to really

understand what happened to the African people and why . For even

without the aid of Western writers in emphasizing the language

differences and the cultural variations and attempting to show how

unrelated the Blacks were, they, in time, came to consider themselves

unique with each society not only independent of the other but

independent of its enemy, if only potentially . Disunity and mutual

suspicion became an African way of life . Small chiefdoms sprang up

everywhere, often no more than a village of one or two hundred people .

Africa, therefore, presented itself to Asia and Europe as the ideal land

for exploitation, enslavement and conquest .

The history is complex and many-sided, and would be so if we were

discussing just one nation and not an entire continent . Ths is why our

focus must be on the main lines of development, the African-wide

aspects, and the unmistakable common origin and continent-wide

sameness of basic institutions which these universal aspects reflect .

There were, then, different outcomes for different societies . Some

perished even to the last member from disease, starvation or warfare .

Others, despairing of ever again being able to have a fixed abode,

became nomads . Some, although isolated so long that .they had

developed different languages and customs, had nevertheless decided

that salvation required a union with other groups. These were the tribes

that merged with other tribes, lost their separate identity and languages ;

and who evolved from this process a single common language, larger[/b]

[b]capital cities of Napata and Meroe . From there black civilization spread

north, reaching its most spectacular achievements in what became

known as "Egyptian Civilization ."

The general condition of vast stretches of uninhabited and uninhabitable

land over the continent seemed to support the Western thesis that

Africans never developed any worthwhile civilization with a notable

historic past. The more charitable might add that in the very nature of

their situation it could not have been otherwise . Samuel Baker went far

in promoting the idea of African innate inferiority even if he had to use

the most forbidding area in Africa to do it-the terrible swamplands of

the Sudd, an area south of Khartoum, that, in its full extent, is as big as

England . No one would claim that any kind of society, civilized or

savage, could exist in the Sudd Swamplands, probably the largest in the

world . For it was neither all land nor water, but a seemingly endless

mass of rotting vegetation, interwoven tree-like vines, steaming heat,

swarming man-killing mosquitoes, crocodiles, hippos and other unknown

forms of tropical life . The conclusion of Baker and others was that they

were in a land where time had stood still since its beginning, where life

never advanced and the human species had simply rotated in aimless

cycles like the animal life in the Sudd .

As late as the 1840s and 50s these explorers, even the most ignorant,

should have known that in the same vast continent of wastelands,

tropical rain forests and swamplands, there were also areas of arable

land and civilized states . But they wrote about what they saw the most

of: vast stretches of wasteland and secluded groups of "strange" people .

But, as we shall see, some of the great kingdoms and empire-builders

in Africa seem not to have known the meaning of failure or to have any

ideas about surrendering to fate . Ejected here, they led the people

there-and began to build again .

Wherever the splintered-off refugee groups found a place where the

soil seemed favorable for cultivation, and the land unoccupied by preceding

migrants, they settled and began to build villages again . A sense

of relative security was a necessary factor in deciding where to begin a

new settlement . A crucial question was how many miles had they put

between the slave hunters and themselves? For the kind of houses and

community buildings they would erect depended directly on the

probability of permanent settlement or sudden flight again . In short,

they could build large, sturdy and attractive compound homes and

temples of worship or easily demolished huts .[/b]

[b]The Overview

THE LAND OF THE BLACKS WAS A VAST LAND, A BIG WORLD

unto itself covering 12,000,000 square miles . From its northernmost

point in what is now Tunisia to Cape Aqulhas is approximately 5,000

miles, and in its widest extent from east to west it is 4,600 miles . The

whole of this second largest continent was once Bilad as Sudan, "The

Land of the Blacks," and not just the southern region to which they had

been steadily pushed from the north . After Asian, Greek and Roman

occupations, the term "Sudan" came to indicate the areas not yet taken

from the Blacks and was co-extensive with the Ethiopian empire .

For the Ethiopian empire once extended from the Mediterranean

north and southward to the source of the Nile in the country (Abyssinia)

which recently reverted to the ancient name of the Ethiopian empire of

which in earlier times it formed its southeastern provinces . Even as late

as the times of Menes, 3,100 B.C., Ethiopia still included three-fourths

of Egypt, or up to twenty-nine degrees North parallel . The Asians held

the Delta region, hence "The Two Lands" -well-known to all historians

but never fully explained . (To explain the "Two Lands," of course,

would blast the myth about the builders of Egyptian Civilization .)

It was pointed out that the study of the Blacks must begin in Egypt

because most of their indestructible monuments are there ; and, further,

because many of the artifacts archaeologists have been uncovering

during the past seventy-five years as "Egyptian" are in fact "African ."

Yet the very "Heartland of the Race" and the cradle of civilization were

actually further south below the First Cataract, centered around the[/b]

nothing, unless from history we learn what our strengths were and,

especially, in what particular aspect we are weak and vulnerable. Our

history can then become at once the foundation and guiding light for

united efforts in serious planning what we should be about now .

[b]Ancient China and the Far East, for example, must be a special area

of African research . How do we explain such a large population of

Blacks in Southern China, powerful enough to form a kingdom of their

own? Or the black people of Formosa, Australia, the Malay peninsula,

Indo-China, the Andaman and numerous other islands? The heavy

concentration of Africans in India, and the evidence that the earliest

Aryan chiefs were black (which will make Hitler rise from his grave)

open still another interesting field for investigation . Even the "Negroid"

finds in early Europe appear not to be as challenging as the black

population centers in Asia . For, again, reference is not made to small

groups which may have wandered anywhere over the earth ; rather, our

concern is with great and dominant populations . These are the Blacks

who have so puzzled Western scholars that some theorize that Asia or

Europe may be the homeland of Africans after all . The African populations

in Palestine, Arabia and Mesopotamia are better known, although

the many centuries of black rule over Palestine, South Arabia, and in

Mesopotamia should be studied and elaborated in more detail . All of

this will call for a new kind of scholarship, a scholarship without any

mission other than the discovery of truth, and one that will not tremble

with fear when that truth is contrary to what one prefers to believe .

Nothing is clearer than the tragic fact that Africa, like the rest of the

black world, has only the illusion of being free and independent . It is

only about one-third free . It is still as economically enshackled as it ever

was, in some respects more so. The study of this period and the

conditions it presents will confront the Blacks of the world with the final

challenge . The response to that challenge will be the test of the genius of

the race . The outcome and, indeed, the whole future of the race

depends upon the extent to which we have become intellectually

emancipated and decaucasianized enough to pioneer in original thinking .

Those who do become free in fact, will no longer readily grab the white

man's ideologies and systems whether capitalism, the Western version of

democracy, or communism, without a critical review and analysis to

determine whether Africa's own traditional system, when updated, may

not be truly superior and best fitted to meet the aspirations of the black

world . This last period, then, is the time of great decisions . It may well

be the black race's last chance for a rebirth and salvation .

The division proposed above for a new approach in the research,

teaching and study of African history will outrage most Western and

Arab scholars, along with their subservient Negro followers, because I [/b]

[b]How was the art of writing lost by one of the first peoples to invent it?

Study the migrations . How and why did a once-great people, with a

common origin, splinter off into countless little independent

societies and chiefdoms from which 2,000 different languages and

dialects developed? Study the migrations . What caused the brother-against-

brother internecine wars, hatreds, slavery and mutual suspicion

among the various black societies? Again, study the migrations!

There would be several subdivisions of great importance . Slavery and

the slave trade, for example, would include Africa, Asia and the

Americas. This would be the background for later periods covering

black history in the United States, South America and the Caribbean
areas .

The eighth division is the reemergence of African kingdoms and

empires, by regions, between the tenth and nineteenth centuries . This

was the period during which there were attempts in every region of

Africa to restore the glory that was Ethiopia's. It is doubtful if any of

these black states realized that they were being slowly but steadily

surrounded and hemmed in from all directions by invaders from the

seacoasts and across the Sahara . The ultimate fall of the black states,

first under Islamic and then under European Christian blows, closed

this period with the triumph of colonialism .

The final period is the Black Revolution that ended political

colonialism with the rise of politically independent states . This would

take us from 1950 to the present, and should be subdivided for the

developments in Black America, South America, and the "Islands of the
Seas ."
From the new approach and plan for research, study and development

of African history presented above, "periodization," while

recognized as highly important, is not allowed to so fragment a great

movement or development covering many periods and milleniums that

their real significance is lost . Examples are the ethnic transformation of

Egypt from black to brown to white, and the long centuries of the great

migrations . These defied periodization in any meaningful sense .

I'only made passing reference in the work to Blacks scattered outside

of Africa over the world, not from the slave trade, but from dispersions

that began in prehistory . This fact alone indicates the great tasks of

future scholarship on the real history of the race . We are actually just on

the threshold, gathering up some important missing fragments . The

biggest jobs are still ahead .[/b]

[b]order to focus on a single issue : The role of invasions and conquests in

the destruction of black civilization with the resulting ethnic transformation

of Egypt from black to brown (Afro-Asian and Afro-European), to
white .

This means that the second subdivision would bypass the Restoration

period of the great Eleventh and Twelfth Dynasties for the next period

of invasion and conquest, the Hebrew (Hyksos) rule, 1645-1567 B.C.

Again, bypassing the New Empire, the other subdivisions would study

the periods of Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Roman and Arab invasions and

the impact of their conquests and rule on the Blacks .

The fourth major division would begin with the skipped-over Eleventh

and Twelfth Dynasties, 1786-1233 B.C, the great Eighteenth, 1567-

1320, and then continue from the Age of Ramses to the end of the

Twenty-fourth Dynasty, 1330-730 .

The fifth period should be from the last of the Black pharaohs to the

destruction of the remaining southern division of the Ethiopian Empire

below the First Cataract, 730 B .C. to the fifth century (A.D .).

The sixth period : From the reemergence of successor black states in

the fifth century A .D . to their final destruction by the Arabs in the

thirteenth century .

The seventh period, like the second, should not be a time division of

neat and largely irrelevant chronological sequences . It is a study of

migrations of the Blacks that covered many centuries, but which became

more widespread and desperate after the Arab conquest of the original

center of black civilization in the Sudan . The long periods of wandering

all over the continent, often aimlessly, comprised the great historic race

of the Blacks for survival, a race that tried to outdistance famine,

disease, slavery and death . The period that deserves more intense study

and critical analysis extends from the thirteenth century to colonialism

in the nineteenth .

Elsewhere I have posed the most perplexing question : If the Blacks

were among the very first builders of civilization and their land the

birthplace of civilization, what has happened to them that has left them

since then, at the bottom of world society, precisely what happened?

The Caucasian answer is simple and well-known : The Blacks have

always been at the bottom . This answer is clear even in the histories and

other educational material which whites so busily prepare for Blacks .

Almost all of the true answers will be found in the study of the causes of

the migrations and the tragic results stemming directly from those

seemingly endless movements of fragmented peoples .[/b]

[b]THE NEW APPROACH

The first period would begin with "prehistory," primarily because

Nowe, one of the oldest cities on earth, was begun by Blacks before

recorded history . Another important reason is that the Canaanites and

Asians had invaded the Nile Delta and established a stronghold in

Lower Egypt (then Northeastern Ethiopia or Chem) in prehistoric times .

This early concentration of whites along the seacoasts of the Land of the

Blacks is a circumstance of crucial importance in black history"because it

was exactly from this development that the achievements of the Blacks

were overshadowed by later writers or blotted out entirely . The call is

for black specialists for one period in one area . What, for example, was

the actual influence of the white Asians, rigidly held back for centuries

in the lower one-fourth of the country, upon the Blacks who held the

three-fourths that came to be known as Upper Egypt? Review and indepth

studies of this period are required . The general historian is out .

The best general histories, region by region, can be written only after

the work of the specialists is done .

The second period might well be from the conquest of Lower Egypt

by the Ethiopian leader, Menes, in 3100 B .C. to the end of the Sixth

Dynasty, 2181, also the end of the Old Kingdom .' This was the period

that gave birth to Egypt, and before which there was no Egypt . It was

the period during which black kings united the "Two Lands," started

the dynastic (lineage) system, and began the building of the greatest

civilization . The greatest in-depth review and concentration of research

should be focused on this second period . It was, in fact, the Golden Age

in the history of the Blacks, the age in which they reached the pinnacle

of a glory so dazzling in achievements that Western and Arab writers felt

compelled to erase it by the sheer power of their position, beginning

black history over 3,000 years later, and limiting it-such as they

allowed, to "Africa South of the Sahara ."

The third period of black history in Egypt should begin with the

Seventh Dynasty, 2181 B.C ., and subdivided into the tragic periods of

internal turmoil and white invasions . The first subdivision would be

from 2181 B .C. to 2040 B .C. covering the Seventh Eighth, Ninth, and

Tenth Dynasties . Thereafter, strict chronology should be ignored in

many authorities ; for conflicting dates do appear in ancient records . I do

not debate the point .[/b]

[b]Where it is impossible to deny black achievements, equal to and often

above the whites, such achievements were attributed to some kind of

Caucasian influence, even if imaginary . Yet, the AHA Publication

Number Fifty-six uses the same strategy that makes Western scholarship

so very triumphant . The main thrusts of its racist presuppositions are,

for the unwary, completely hidden by much highly welcomed factual

materials. But what is certain to disarm almost everyone is racism's

forthright attacks on racism throughout the publication . I suppose no

one is expected to notice the implied incapacity of black historians to

deal with African history objectively . They are not referred to as

historians, of course, they are " . . . some modern African intellectuals

who have tried to show great civilizations in the past, grander than

anything that ever existed ."

As a direct result of this continued universal enslavement through

education, black youth are in revolt . That revolt will become increasingly

dangerous as they begin to realize how completely they are blocked

from self-realization in the very institutions that should further it ; how

difficult it is to find suitable textbooks in black history or even "Negro"

teachers who do not limit themselves to the viewpoints of the white

masters who trained them . The frustrations become more intolerable as

the young find themselves between two fires : The white racists who

determine the very nature of their education and the Negro educators

who also see the world through the blue eyes of the Saxons . In short,

they are forced to turn to their own devices because they find so many

of their own race, who should be working with them, in the camps of

the "enemy ."

Insofar as periodization is concerned, no one should be so naive as to

expect a proper division of African history while the field is almost

completely preempted by the enemies of that history . A proper division

would tend to encourage a more all-inclusive research and a less biased

interpretation of the results . Neither will happen until a new generation

of black research scholars and historians take to the field, becoming the

foremost authorities in their own right-black historians, not a single

one of whom will fall in Professor Phillip D . Curtin's category of black

intellectuals who try to "show great civilizations in the past, grander

than anything that ever existed ." The new research efforts call for black

experts not only in the field of history but also in the allied fields from

which African history must heavily draw : archaeology, anthropology,

linguistics, etc .[/b]

I hope somebody is reading what I am reading here. In school I was taught that Mr Mungo Park discovered the source of the River Niger for example. What about the so called Lander Brothers, What did they discover again? After reading this book, it became very irrelevant what the white supremacist ever discovered in Africa and as for me it will forever remain so.

If I may ask what was/is the essence of teaching black children the escapades of white supremacist in Africa without first teaching them the truths of their own history ( however, the white supremacist had already come to the conclusion that the blacks had no worthwhile history of their own not to talk of its achievement so they could as well be taught the history of the whites in Africa. What a shame.) if not only to create in the minds of these black kids a negative psychological complexities- you can say inferior complexities.

Growing up as a kid and not learning about my true history ( only of course histories of war, hunger, cannibalism and hopelessness) but the history of other races indirectly made me see the so called ''whites'' as ''truly God sent''. But I am a grown man and I know better now.

[b]as ruthless and aggressive in their scholarly pursuits on races as their copartners

in seizing and controlling the wealth and peoples of other

lands . Having established strong national and international "African"

associations and journals that attempt to control research activities on

Africa, they proceeded to flood the world with hastily thrown together

African "histories," pamphlets, and publications on just about every

subject that could stand a "Black" title .

4. From their all-powerful "position of strength" they continue to

arrange and rearrange the world as it pleases them, naming and

classifying people, places and things as they will . In the United States,
whites known to have any amount of "Negro blood," no matter how

small, are classified as Negroes ; in Africa, North Africa in particular,

they do the very opposite . Blacks with any amount of "Caucasian

blood" are classified as "white ." This scheme was rigorously applied in
the history of Egypt, for example, where even unmixed black pharaohs
became "white" and the original black population was never referred

to as Egyptian at all! The black kings who founded and 'ruled from the
First Dynasty are disguised as such, while the Saite kings (white) of the
small areas of Lower Egypt are presented as the Pharaohs of all Egypt
even when African pharaohs were on the throne of Upper Egypt .

Blotting the Blacks out of history included replacing African names of

persons, place and things with Arabic and European names. One wave
of the masters' magic hand, and Black Hamites and even Cushites, like
their early Egyptian brothers, are no longer Africans!

5.Their periodization of African history is carefully arranged in such a

way that the history becomes the history of Arabs and Europeans in

Africa, and not the history of Africans . In African History, a recent

publication of the American Historical Association as a guide to teaching,
their purpose becomes clear in the arrangement itself: First period is,

from the fall of the Roman Empire to 700 (A .D .), the Arab invasions ;
the second period of African history is the period of "Islamic" civilization,
700 (A.D .) to the coming of the Europeans in 1500 ; the European

Period from 1500 to 1960 is subdivided at 1880 to mark the period

colonialism . There is no period of Black civilization in Black Africa . Such
is the Caucasian viewpoint that is almost a religion . Their very first

period eliminates 4,000 years of Black Civilization and the very greatest
periods of African achievements ; their second period is devoted to the
Arabs and Berbers in Africa ; and in their third period the focus is on

European civilization . And it is all done under the heading of African history .[/b]

[b]Western scholars, know all about the authentic early and modern

sources. They simply ignore and refuse to publish any facts of African

history that upset or even tend to upset their racial philosophy that rest

so solidly on premises sanctified by time that they no longer need to be openly proclaimed .

2. They are, unwittingly, promoting the steady march toward a world

conflict between the races . Yet they are doing what they feel they must

do, in faithful obedience to their Caucasian culture, the racial pattern of

which emerged in the 17th century . The steady conquest and enslavement

of a whole people made it imperative to create both a religious

and a "scientific" doctrine to assuage the white conscience . Their

phenomenal success in the industrial world at once supports and

justifies their philosophy, the supremacy of the fittest . The danger now

arises from an entirely new and unexpected development: A sleeping

and submissive non-white world, while all this white power was being

amassed, is no longer either sleeping or submissive .

3. Even the African revolt against colonialism and the world-wide

challenge to white domination of the entire earth, even these signals of

change do not disturb these scholars of imperialism . They represent the

Lords of the Earth, controlling all levels of education, science and

research . They control the education of Blacks throughout the world .

Therefore, they see no need, even in the 1980s, to take a new look at the

history of Blacks from its beginning and start the work of restoring the

pages they had either deleted or ignored .

They are doing the very opposite . Their histories and other

"scientific" studies of the Blacks are presented just as they have been for

three hundred years . With the rise and spread of independent African

states and the Black Revolution in the United States, these scholarly

representatives of white supremacy quickly reformed their techniques

of mind control . They set up in Europe and America highly financed

African studies associations, societies, institutes, history journals and

"African" periodicals of various kinds, all under complete white control

and direction . Their African studies programs were pushed in the

colleges and universities far ahead of the general demand by black

youth for black studies . As the latter demands developed, black youth

discovered that white professors not only had the field occupied, but

were still teaching their traditional viewpoint on "race ."

In the continuing crusade to control the minds of Blacks through the

nature of their education, American and British scholars lead . They are[/b]

[b]whom Western writers dwell, was exactly the same as that of patron

saints in the Christian world . I advance further the theory that the early

wandering Hebrews, so numerous in Africa, received many of their

religious ideas in Africa, for there it was that Abraham sojourned,

Moses was born, Joseph lived, and some of the early years of Jesus

Christ were spent . There is no question that even centuries after

mulattoes and Asians emerged as the only Egyptians, they still regarded

Black Africa as the chief source of the spiritual-"The Land of the

Gods" or "The Land of the Spirits ."

9 Notwithstanding the remarkable civilization they developed even

milleniums before Christ, and the amazing rebuilding of empires in

spite of the great dispersions, notwithstanding all of this, African people

fell far behind in the forward march of the rest of mankind because, in

addition to the destructive forces of nature on the continent and the

hostile force from without, they, the African people, further enshackled

themselves with their own hands through certain aspects of their social

institutions and beliefs that stood as roadblocks to progress even

where conditions where favorable .

THE SCHOLARS' WAR ON THE BLACKS

This work begins where the history of the Blacks began, in Egypt

(Northern Ethiopia) and the Sudan (Southern Ethiopia) . Thus, at the

very outset, I clash head-on with the Caucasian version of African

history . My focus, then, is on the great issues in the history of the

Blacks that emerge from this confrontation with white scholarship ;

for while I have covered much of the same ground explored by

scholars before me, I have generally reached different conclusions

than theirs, and from the same body of facts .

Let us pause for a moment at this point . I have made a blanket indictment

of white Western scholarship on Africa . If it cannot be sustained, it

should never have been made . They are brought under fire at various

points throughout this work-the kind of work, as I also had stated,

should be absolutely needless in the closing years of the 20th century .

work itself, but may be outlined here as follows :

[b]THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Over the years of studying African history, certain propositions and

theories evolved quite naturally as guiding headlights in the explorations .

A few of them are set forth here, some previously stated or implied :

1 . That Africa, all Africa, is the native homeland of the Blacks,' and

that the Asiatic peoples who occupy North and Eastern Africa, even

though they may have been there for centuries, are no more native

Africans than are the Dutch and British who likewise occupy and

control the southern regions of th continent . The question of where

the homelands are from which all of these invaders came is not
debatable;

2 . Blacks were among the very earliest builders of a great civilization

on this planet, including the development of writing, sciences, engineering,
medicine., architecture, religion and the fine arts .

3. The story of how such an advanced civilization was lost is one of the

greatest and most tragic in the hisory of mankind and should be the
main focus of research studies in African history .

4 . Asian imperialism, though rarely ever mentioned, was, and still is

even more devastating for the African people than that of either Europe

or America . The Arabs' white superiority complex is not one white

less than that of Europe or America, although their strategy of

"brotherhood" deceives naive Blacks .

5 The forces behind the continuous splintering of small groups and

even the breaking up of kingdoms and empires, followed by the

equally endless migrations, including the steadily increasing death of the

soil and the advance of the deserts, the drying up of lakes and rivers,

along with the attending change of the climate and the always certain

internal strife-all combined with invasions and famine to become a
way of life.

6 . The strength and greatness of the African people can be measured

by how, in the face of what at times seemed to be all the forces of hell,

they fought through it all to survive and rebuild kingdoms and empires,
some of which endured a thousand year .

7. Within the framework of even the smallest surviving states, the

basic principles of the traditional African constitution were adhered to

and kept alive throughout all the paving centuries as the

fundamental elements of ancient democratic, social, political and economic systems all over the continent.

8. Africa was the cradle of a religious civilization based on the

conception of one Supreme God, Creator of the Universe . This

belief in one Supreme Being out-dated that of the Jews by several thousand

years before Abraham, and the role of the numerous sub-deities

Notes

2 . An important fact that should be well known is that Africans are

not jet black all unmixed . For while the great majority are black

skinned, countless thousands who lived for centuries in cool areas

have lighter complexion-and no "Caucasian blood" at all .

[b]in relatively small numbers was sufficient to identify them as the leaders

and achievers of whatever attracted the attention of the world .

Another trick-the very opposite of the American law and practice was

to classify Africans with "Caucasian blood" as Caucasians . If any of

those so classified turned out to be notorious characters, pro-African or

anti-white, they were loudly proclaimed and contemptuously called
"half-breeds."

The millions of early Blacks who were forced either by circumstances

or expediency to replace their own names with Asian and European

names only added to the problems of historical identification .

Far from becoming baffled and discouraged by the more painstaking

basic research required, the student of African history must accept the

challenge as a twentieth century mandate that is essential to the salvation

of the race in the most literal sense . They will need the active

support of black governments and predominantly black institutions of

learning . These should be actively sponsoring (1) comprehensive, basic

research programs ; (2) research teams for field studies, especially in

history and archaeology ; and (3) a thorough-going teacher-training
program for history and other related disciplines .

What, indeed, are black institutions of learning waiting for? The

young people to show the way? The simple truth is that what is needed

first is active pioneering initiative . Financial assistance would then be

forthcoming even from unexpected sources . Black inertia is the main

problem, there is still too much dependence on white scholars to do our

work for us . I have written elsewhere that as long as we rely on white

historians to write black history for us, we should keep silent about what

they produce . They write from the Caucasian viewpoint, and we are

naive, indeed, if we expect them to do otherwise, all the ballyhoo about

their "scientific objectivity" to the contrary, notwithstanding.[/b]

[b]councillors who had been summoned-some from distant provinces-to

pass on their request to explore . They were the direct representatives of

the people . The voice of the king was in fact the voice of the people,

without which he could not act on any matter of importance, or even

talk alone with strangers . It should be clear, therefore, that our guidelines

for research must lead to a critical analysis of all sources, whether

original, secondary or oral . In particular, we should seek out those works

with the special mission to "prove" the superiority of "whites" by

"proving" the inferiority of Blacks-all in language so subtle, scholarly

and scientific, that to the uncritical mind their "truths" seem selfevident

. But it is also noteworthy that while the most hostile racist

writers usually prove the very opposite of what they intended, their

works inevitably contain useful factual data that must be accepted .

Indeed, it is doubtful whether anyone, even a devil, could write a book
completely devoid of truth .

Research in African history is more tedious, laborious, and time-consuming

than that in other unsuppressed fields . For in developing the

"underdeveloped" history of the Blacks, one has to explore the most

unlikely sources for a fragment here and a fragment there, and in works

in no way concerned with African history, and, just as often, without

any kind of history . Sometimes it is a paragraph or two in an explorer's

account; at other times significant items may be found in the numerous

missionary reports to the home office, explaining the mission's tasks, but

also the native institutions to be overcome . All of these may be valuable

and most valid sources precisely because they were not intended to be

such at all . The writers were detailing bigger European interests . Any

references to Africans were merely incidental to larger purposes . Just

piecing all these fragments together could be a research field by itself .

In my work in European and American history, I ran into no such

problems and the research tasks were easier . In Egyptian history, to give

a final example of Caucasian roadblocks to be overcome, one has the

extra, time-consuming job of identifying the numerous Black giants of

history who have been classified and effectively disguised as Caucasians

over the centuries . First of all . one must know the various names that

referred exclusively to Blacks and by which they were known throughout

the ancient world . For in addition to the more widely used "African"

and "Ethiopian," they were also known as Thebans, Libyans, Thinites,

Nubians, Cushites, Memphites, Numidians, etc . Even before white

Asians gained the ascendency in any of these areas, their very presence[/b]

[b]same thing : A Black . This, of course, was before the Caucasians began

to reorder the earth to suit themselves and found it necessary to stake

their birthright over the Land of the Blacks also . In line with this, some

Western historians have recently wondered where the Africans came
from!

The reasons given for beginning formal studies of Africa at Oxford

implied much more than was stated . Reference was made to studying

the "Caucasian mind," for therein may be found many clues that lead to

a better understanding of the history of Blacks and how the systematic

blackout of significant portions of that history occurred .

That is why I urge those students who intend to accept the great

challenge of basic research in this discipline to go into "enemy territory,"

linger there, study and critically analyze their lectures and their

"scholarly" writings, for they are some of the most rewarding sources for

African history, precisely because in shrewdly attempting to delete,

disguise or belittle the role of Blacks in world history, they often reveal

the opposite of what was intended . They are fruitful sources of unconscious

evidence, supplying the very evidence they thought to suppress

or recording facts the significance of which they were totally ignorant . A

fairly good example is the written account of a European explorer in

East Africa . He was outraged because he and his party had to wait two

weeks to present a request to explore the country to the African king .

The black autocrat, the account went on, had the presumption to keep

white men waiting (italics mine) in order to show his people how high

and mighty he was . The whites were denied even a brief audience,

while the king would quickly receive any Black that wandered in from

the countryside . Now the explorer, without knowing it, was actually

reporting how African democracy worked, and how it had been working

before there was an Athens or Greece (where Westerners think

democracy was born) . The explorer would have been surprised to know

that (1) "king" in Africa meant something entirely different from what it

meant in Europe and Asia ; (2) that this black king, far from "putting on

airs," did not have the right to receive them, even socially, without the

presence of at least three senior Elders ; (3) that to consider a petition to

conduct explorations in the country, the full Council of State had to be

called, and that this could not be done by the king without the advice of

the First Minister (who happened to be on tour when the explorers

arrived to the capital) ; (4) and that the "old Blacks" they saw "wandering

in from the countryside" and immediately given audience, were the[/b]

[b]headline coverage of my mission . The (her surprise was an invitation

for TV and radio broadcasts to the nation . Our Zimbabwe friends were

somewhat suspicious of the motives behind all this red carpet treatment

for a Black American, especially when it continued after my uncompromising

replies to questions on a TV )broadcast panel session . The

Ministry of the Interior had an interpreter flown 300 miles to join me

when I visited his particular language group, the Ndebele . The only

objectionable incidents occurred when on two different occasions in

different places, two district officers offered to attend my meetings with

Chiefs and the Council of Elders . I objected, and the matter was closed .

Finally, South Africa . The situation in this country is so ridiculous

that, far from allowing myself to be incensed with rage, amusing I found it . The unremitting brutality of these whites against the Blacks

leaves them in a state of permanent fear. They seem to consider every

black man not a potential, but an actual threat . And what they are

occupied with every hour is unbelievable(until you are actually in South

Africa . My passport was a "mistake made somewhere ." I, of course, had

no intention to do field work in South Africa, but had to pass through it

to reach the surrounded countries then under British rule . No one at all

was supposed to be barred from passage into and from these countries .

But it required the action of the U .S. Ambassador at Pretoria and an

angry American Consul General at Johannesburg to free me from the

airport room where I was held and checked on every thirty minutes .

Even when the Consul General arrived in person, the authorities

insisted that I must not enter the city, but be taken under guard to the

train for Swaziland . Mr . Riley (the C.G .then decided to defy South

Africa by not only driving me leisurely through Johannesburg, but 200

miles around the country, stopping at different towns, and finally on to

Swaziland . What I referred to above as amusing were incidents such as

excited policemen rushing to flag down the big Cadillac because they

could so quickly spot a black face before they saw the seal of the United

States emblazoned on the sides of the car with the American flag
flying from the hood .

An African is a member of the black race, and from times immemorial

he was known as such by all peoples of the world . Throughout this work

the term refers to Blacks only . It should be noted also that I write about

the African people-not African peoples as Western writers do . I am

dealing here with essentially one people, one "race," if you please, the

African race . In ancient times "African"and "Ethiopian" meant the[/b]

[b]arrival . And they maintained a strictly hands-off policy after my arrival .

I, therefore, prepared to leave at once, but announced that I did not beg

to study anywhere, and that they would learn that this was the

only "African state" where an African scholar was barred . The Ministry

of the Interior reacted swiftly . Not only was permission quickly granted

to do field work in the South, but all the necessary arrangements were

made with dispatch . This included establishing my southern headquarters

at Malakal . The simple fact was that while they were quite

familiar with European research people roaming freely all over the

country, a Black doing field studies in the Sudan was a phenomenon
indeed!

Ethiopia (the new name for Abyssinia), like the Republic of the

Sudan, is also ruled by a people of mixed blood who not only do not

consider themselves African by race, but who maintain a privileged

class society based upon color . To them, all black-skinned Africans are

"Bantu ." To these they feel superior by reason of "white blood," and

their discriminatory practices are just as subtle and real as those of the

whites. And although the enslavement of black-skinned Africans

continues in both countries even in our times, both the Sudan and the

new Ethiopia have adopted the "Brotherhood Front" since the sudden

rise of so many independent African states . This enables the Sudan to

serve as the "bridge" between the Arab world and the new black states,

and thus control or influence their international policies through the

United Nations ; and Ethiopia is able to control, more directly, or

influence Black Africa through Western backing in establishing the

headquarters of the Organization of African Unity in Addis Ababa and

pushing Haile Selassie into the key role . of continent-wide leadership,

thus blocking the "dangerous" influence of Kwame Nkrumah . (It is

because of my steadfast refusal to either skip or gloss over these aspects

of the historical record that I am criticized by many "Negroes"-and I
know exactly when to use this term!)

And now southward to the full white-ruled lands where hostility to a

black face was fully expected : Rhodesia and South Africa . Long before

reaching Southern Africa I was told that I might as well skip Rhodesia,

and that even if I was admitted into South Africa I would not be

permitted to work . But Rhodesia, to the surprise of just about everyone,

pulled out all stops as though it had resolved to outmatch all the black

states in amenities and various kinds of assistance beyond all expectations

or needs . There was the usual press conference, followed by front page[/b]

[b]reference to all the individuals and groups that actually worked on

various parts of the study. However, I had to decline the services of

many highly recommended Africans because of their "upper class"

attitudes toward the common people . For I had learned quite early that

the people in the interior can spot the arrogant and "superior" African

just as easily as they recognize the arrogant and "superior" white

investigator . They will give answers to questions readily enough, but

not the right anwers . I therefore selected only those whose heartbeats

seemed to be tuned to the heartbeats of the great common people from
whom all of us came .

The interpreters were generally assistants who spoke two or three

languages of the country . An entirely new kind of assistant was the

verifying interpreter . They were used to double-check the interpreters

who sometimes would not precisely convey your question or interpret

the exact reply . There were training sessions before and during the field

work. In those fortunate cases where we had four or five competent

assistants, one of the interpreters remained with me, while the others

worked on special assignments in different places in the area .

The documentary research in the United States which preceded the

other preliminaries was not done entirely alone . Some of the most

important areas of my study of ancient sources were rechecked in

independent studies by a select group of graduate students in history .

Their assistance in reappraising such early sources as Manetho,

Herodotus, Josephus, Strabo, Abu Salih, et . al ., was invaluable . Foremost

among these was the Reverend Carleton J . Hayden .

In concluding my remarks on the field studies in Africa, some

comments of four of the countries visited are in order . In the Sudan the

authorities did not want me to work in or even visit the all-black

southern provinces . Their fifteen years of rebellion against the "Arab"

North had caused the whole vast area to be officially "sensitive," and,

therefore, barred to outsiders . The suggestion was that I confine my

studies to the Northern Sudan . This I refused because I had been

previously assured that the rebellion had been "completely crushed,"

and that "peace and quiet" prevailed everywhere . Besides, I could only

find Islamic institutions in the North-institutions of which I already

had full knowledge from years of special study and teaching . As

indicated above, the American embassy in Khartoum did none of the

preparatory work about which I give the other U .S. African

embassies so much praise, although it had six months' notice before my[/b]

Politics › Re: The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams by Tochi3(op): 9:07pm On Feb 19, 2012

[b]for the more ancient tradition of Africa itself . So vast and untapped is

the real history of the African race that I, myself, have only scratched the

surface of what is yet to be done . Some of the areas to be explored by

future historians are set forth in pages which follow this chapter . A

major research project should not be undertaken by a single individual .

That was my mistake-hence, the sixteen years of work that a research

team of eight or ten persons might have completed in three or four .

The kind of well-organized research teams required for in-depth studies

may be difficult to promote because of our pitiful go-it-alone individualism.

A research project such as mine should have had a team of highly

trained experts from the fields of history, archaeology, anthropology,

medicine, linguistics, tropical agriculture, political science, etc .

The widely ranging scope of the study minus a team was possible only

because of the interest and active support of certain African governments

and the unforgettable help of the people in every region and country .

For all kinds of help was needed . As indicated above, much had been

pre-arranged . The United States Department of State had notified the

American embassy in each country that I was coming, requesting our

ambassadors to give any requested assistance . Excepting the Sudan,

where embassy officials appeared to be under some kind of fear, the

embassies, everywhere, went all out to be helpful . The embassies had

the very important work of making the advance arrangements for trips

into the interior through the appropriate ministries in each country .

These in turn, had to contact the various provincial governors or

district commissioners who had to make living and conference arrangements

with village chiefs, elders, the keepers of oral traditions and other

specified groups . The amount of time all this advance work saved for
the study itself is obvious .

But volunteer work of our African brothers who accompanied me

into the field was what I referred to above as "unforgettable ." Some of

them were teachers who, as in the case of my previous field work (1956-

57), had secured leave for the purpose without any trouble at all .

Indeed, even the people we call "illiterate" had that storehouse of

wisdom which made it easy for them to understand that I was working

not for myself, but, for them, for the whole black race .

I am trying to make it clear here that, although I did not have the kind

of research team referred to above, many people, some 128 in number,

participated in this work and made the outcome possible . So, when at

various places I say "we," it is not the editorial or royal "we," but[/b]

Politics › Re: The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams by Tochi3(op): 9:00pm On Feb 19, 2012

[b]rule Africans in view of their "wild and most primitive system of

democracy ." For just as fast as African kings or chiefs undertook to carry

out British laws (which displeased the people), "the people would

remove them from office," therefore, this "primitive African democracy

had to be destroyed" before the British system of Indirect Rule could be
effective .

The point here is that these sneering remarks by an eminent British

historian revealed to me an entirely new field of research . That lecture

led me into the study of one of the most significant developments in the

entire history of the black race: an ancient system of democracy (existing

before Greece) evolved from a continent-wide constitution that governed

the whole African people as a single race . This all-important finding was

arrived at by comparative studies of African customary laws in every

region of the continent . The Europeans were confronted with a real

social domocracy that existed long before the terms "socialism" and

"democracy" were invented in the west . For Dr . Madden it was "savage"

because the people were the real rulers, in fact, and not merely in
theory .

THE FIELD STUDIES

Insofar as the study of African history is concerned, I regard direct

investigation in the field, in Africa, as of the highest importance . This

field work should be undertaken only after thoroughgoing research in

written and other documentary sources . The study of available written

sources, their evaluation, and the mounting archaeological records

are all the first major phase of African research and, I would say, a
prerequisite for field-work .

The field work was mainly concerned with oral history . I had noted in

my study of sources of noted historians that many who decried oral

tradition as "unreliable" never failed to use it themselves to supplement

or give added validity to their work . The fact is that neither written nor

unwritten records should be accepted as true without verification .

Although two years were devoted to the field work, the ground

covered was possible only because of careful advance planning and the

scheduling of areas and groups in each country months ahead of my

arrival . These had to be in the hinterland, or "Bush Country," generally

far away from the Westernized urban centers . For our quest was not for

the long-standing tradition of either Islam or Christianity in Africa, but[/b]

[b]have nothing in common now, you know ."

This British (and European) philosophy of education fitted in ideally

with those Africans from the continent and elsewhere who, unlike J .L.,

came to Europe from the privileged class at home. Some of those

studying in England became more British than the British, just as many

from what was French West Africa became more "French" than the
Frenchmen.

The first tragedy to note about the effects of this class education on

Blacks is that it further reinforced colonialism's policy of perpetual

disunity in Africa and elsewhere . The line dividing these black "upper"

and "middle" classes from the black masses and their basic aspirations is

more rigidly drawn . And this superior class mentality, becoming even

more crystalized since independence, is an almost certain guarantee of

future uprisings on a scale never seen .

The second great tragedy is in the nature of what is called "education .'

It is mainly rote learning, the ability to memorize phrases, concepts and

other required data . Thinking is neither required nor expected . Critical

analysis and evaluation of subject matter are not required . But the

ability to absorb and recall is required . The brilliant scholar, then, is one

who can readily quote authorities and remember well his bibliographical

sources. So we have a generation of black scholars who continue to

amaze students by mouthing the doctrines and viewpoints of their white

teachers-like so many robots without minds of their own .

Yet study under white teachers and professors should be most

rewarding, and it can be if you do not enter white institutions with a

head like an empty pitcher going to a fountain to be filled . I was safe and

richly rewarded during my studies in white universities only because I

happened not to be so naive that I expected the viewpoints of the

conquerors to be the same as those of the conquered on matters relating

to our place in the world .

Elsewhere I have emphasized, by repetition, that some of the most

fruitful sources for study came quite unintentionally from white scholars .

A case in point was at Oxford . The course was "The History of

Colonialism in Africa ." The presence of two or three Blacks in the class,

while obviously uncomfortable to some, was generally ignored . For

African studies were of long standing an integral part of the imperial

system . They were not planned for Africans at all, but for the future

administrators of the Empire in Africa . So Professor Madden -was

pointing out in his lecture how difficult , and even impossible, it was to[/b]

[b]THE EUROPEAN JOURNEY

I arrived in England in the fall of 1953 to begin formal studies at

Oxford University, primarily through the Institute of Colonial Studies

and at Rhodes House (which might be more properly called Africa

House) . In addition to the study of documentary sources on Africa, I

had other objectives : (l) I wanted a more direct, close-up view of the

European mind, its real attitude toward the black world . I sought to

study both (2) the extent to which European wealth and power were

derived directly from Africa and (3) the nature and philosophy of a

European education that was shaping and determining the mentality of

Africans . I was already fully aware of the disastrous effects of the white

American education system on Black Americans who, not having any

other frame of reference, had to adopt the ideologies and viewpoints of

whites in order to survive, even when those viewpoints were against

them. This meant visiting various classrooms in elementary and

secondary schools, teacher-training institutes, and classrooms of lecturers

and professors in a selected number of colleges in the universities .

These were not "look-in-and-leave" visits, but all-day studies at the

schools, remaining throughout the period in the classrooms, and talking

with students, teachers and principals thereafter. In such a study one

learns very quickly that the textbooks and other works describing

education do not tell the same story as the schools in action tell . (4)

Finally I wanted to know, and again from direct study, exactly what

made Oxford probably the greatest university in the world . What were

the specific elements of that greatness? Was great teaching a factor, and,

if so, who were the great teachers and what made them great teachers?

From just the foregoing aims of the study it must be obvious that I was

still examining various aspects of the probable reasons why whites

became the masters of the globe .

In both France and England I found that the system of education

fostered a new kind of aristocracy-an aristocracy of the "educated ."

College graduates constituted new upper classes . The son of a carpenter

or railroad conductor became estranged from his family and former

friends upon receiving his university degree . A case in point was J.L., a

young Englishman in my College at Oxford (Lincoln) who was one

of my close friends there . He refused to go home during any of the long

vacation breaks because, to quote him, "I can no longer associate with

my family and old friends . I wouldn't know how to talk to them . We[/b]

[b]THE "WHITE" ARABS

The relentless searchlights of history were turned on the roles played

by both Islam and Christianity in the subjugation of the Blacks . This

confused many and outraged those who did not pause to distinguish

evil men who use religion to disguise their real aims . The unthinking

Muslim or Christian would likely believe that his religion is being

attacked rather than those conquerors and enslavers who disgraced it in

covering their drive for wealth and world domination .

Blacks in the United States seem to be more mixed up and confused

over the search for racial identity than anywhere else . Hence, many are

dropping their white western slavemasters' names and adopting, not

African, but their Arab and Berber slavemasters' names! The confusion

will continue, however, as long as the fact that millions of mulattoes in

Arab countries are considered "white" is ignored along with the other

fact that countless unmixed, sun-baked desert-dwelling Arabs are not

only brown but some are very dark in color (all this darkening of the

skin in spite of the ages-old tradition of the thick cloth covering the face

from the scorching sun) . Indeed, not only did mulattoes consider themselves

100 percent Arab, but jet-black Africans, whose forebears were

in Arabia for generations, speak Arabic and call themselves "Arabs,"

just as Black Americans speak English and call themselves "Americans ."

In both cases neither the Black Arab nor Black American thinks he is

"white."' To repeat, then,'Blacks are in Arabia for precisely the same

reasons Blacks are in the United States, South America, and the

Caribbean Islands-through capture and enslavement .

In studying the actual records in the history of the race, therefore, the

role of "white" Arabs must not be obscured either by their Islamic

religion or by the presence of the Africans and Afro-Arabs among them

any more than we should permit white Europeans and white Americans

to use Christianity to cover their drive for power and control over the

lives of other people .
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes

1 . The term "black" was given a rebirth by the black youth revolt . As

reborn, it does not refer to the particular color of any particular person,

but to the attitude of pride and devotion to the race whose homeland

from times immemorial was called "The Land of the Blacks ." Almost

overnight our youngsters made "black" coequal with "white in respectability,

and challenged the anti-black Negroes to decide on which side

they stood . This was no problem for many who are light or even nearwhite

in complexion, for they themselves were among the first to

proclaim with pride, "call me black!" Those who hate the term but hold

the majority of leadership positions, feel compelled to use it to protect

their leadership roles .[/b]

@ezeagu,

You would have not said that if you had actually read the book. Jokes apart. It explains a lot of the present situation of all blacks in the world today. For those who can lay their hands on a copy and read it will see that what happened to the blacks since the beginning of the first dynasty is still happening in the present.

The blacks made a lot of mistakes then which eventually led to the destruction of the civilization they built. This same mistakes are been made by the blacks of today. The consequences of our past mistakes we are reaping today and the implications of doing thesame mistakes in the present will in the future put the black race in a process of self extermination, naturally with the combination of other avoidable factors.
