Excellent Drop.
Our understanding of our existence is enhanced when we're able to digest the breadth of such material.
Bruh you're doing good work. We all (Black Folks) have the potential to embrace the edification this knowlegde can render, but the challenge for many of us is that we've been made foreigners in our own minds to the gifts that exist within us to connect with this level of thinking, so as to re-connect with Ancient African thought processes. Globally, even in Africa this is one of the challenges we as Blacks face.
I'll be checking out those books. Keep it coming. Its appreciated
Edit:
Bruh Kayanation Amazon shows this paperback for 124.00 and up used. Man there has to be a better price that's 70 - 100 dollars cheaper for a paperback that has 29.99 on the back cover. If you know where we can get it for a more reasonable price fam let us know

You totally named this thread wrong. I'd been seeing it, but never clicked on it. Check out her stuff now.
Nice Try. But this chick and others like her are a waste of time.
When the Europeans took over the world, they didn't make speeches on videos, preach to crowds, march or protest.... They simply made powerful weapons and killed motherfuckers with them and took their lands.
- Unless we're going to do that, shut the hell up.

In hind sight it may have been a badly names thread.
However people read the positive threads without bumping while the rap threads run 5 pages......

The book is out of print.
I just ordered a copy for $124 from Barnes & Noble.
Other than that you may have to check your local African centered bookshop. I have gotten some gems in there for the original prices.
Yeah, I was thinking of doing just that. Will be calling some this week and in the street in search mode next weekend. I WILL own a copy of this one though for sure

Any updates???
Sorry but that was the biggest waste of 11:43 I have wasted today. I aint understanding a word shes talkin about. If you hate America and the european system, then leave. I know the white man is a mafucka and is not about to give me shit but, I'm not stupid enough to begin to think that I'm goin to run his house but, he does have to respect me while I'm in it. I'll play his games but I damn am not about to let him cheat me and I not know it. Best thing for all of us as black people need to do is beat him at his own game and keep on growing because between the mexican, us and asianS sooner or later the white man will be a minority too and then we can talk shit and change shit. But, until bullshit like this will never fly because thats not the system your in. And dont be typing me no hate shit and all that I really dont give a fuck, just my two cent, I'm OUT!!!

Not understanding is ok.
Commenting about something you don't understand is ok.
Criticizing something that you don't understand is not ok.
There is a difference.
Maybe you should state what you don't understand so that there can be some dialog.
Some of the previous posters understood so it's not like she is speaking a different language.
Just ask instead of going on a tirade......
In the end this thread is about building one another positively........
Bless.
I've read every word in this thread from beginning to end. Those passages from the book and vids are done very articulately, with purpose and, to me, high mindedness. Several times I had to go back and break each individual word down then reconnect them in the original sentence, only to do the same a few words later on, then again in a following paragraph, only to find out that a certain word or definition needed to be related or compared to a word, definition or sentence that I had already read two paragraphs back. This read is definitely not for the uneducated, and in that I do find a fault. If the message or intent in these passages can only be understood by a fraction of those it is intended then eventually that message won't even reach deaf ears.
Anyway, the subject matter, the hypocracy of the dominant European/American Culture, is truthfully stated. Rhetorical Ethic is a nice catch phrase. I won't pretend that I understood everything written or spoken but I did get the overall meaning of what was provided here.
Where my understanding is lacking is in the historical big picture. In asking my question(s) I'll try not to be complex and long yet still have enough meaning so it won't be overly simplistic, especially since it's all conjecture.
Back then when Afrikans were singing Kumbya, living in peaceful harmonial bliss we had what we believed to be our own way of living, filled with a rich and filling culture that wanted for nothing. Then one day ships appeared on the shores of our rich a prosperous land and men with disease and twisted tongues came amongst us and our culture just fell away to be replaced by the deviltry we're caught up in today. How could that be? How could some trickery overcome the knowledge and wisdom that our ancestors had passed down to us? How did our civilizations crumble like puffed rice in closed hands so quickly and easily? If our culture was strong and our widsom forthright there should've nothing to shake our resolution and our faith in what we were taught and had lived for generations...unless there was some fault to it. How else could our peoples have been so totally devastated by something so foreign to our heritage? And now, based on what I've read so far, these passages are attempting to reassert or reconnect us in direct correlation to our past. Our past culture was a total failure as far as it being a sustaining, preserving, and everlasting one. Why should we attempt to go there again, knowing full well that somewhere down the line it will happen all over again?
I'm not being negative here. Shit, we're already caught up in a bear trap we're trying hard to extricate ourselves from. What I am seeking is understanding. Why embrace a failed culture? Anyone who has a care can throw their weight at this. It's not meant singularly for Bruh Nation
