Africa history made (Marejeo)

Napoleon alikuwa mmoja wa majenerali wakuu waliowahi kuishi. Lakini mwishoni mwa karne ya 18 mtumwa aliyejisomea bila mafunzo ya kijeshi alimfukuza Napoleon kutoka Haiti [emoji1122] na kuiongoza nchi yake kupata uhuru. Jina lake lilikuwa: TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE

The older gentleman in this picture noticed the younger one reading a book. And just sat down and asked him questions about the book and what his next steps are as far as his education and future. Then he took his information and offered him mentorship and opportunities. Now these two men don't know one another at all. But I share this because this is what's missing. This is not shown by media. Black men holding each other down to better the next generation. THIS is what needs to be done! It was amazing for me to see this on my train ride into work. Might not mean much to some. But to those that see will see the bigger picture, this is for you. Remember, "Each one, Teach one". Have a blessed day.

I have noticed that many of our people have very good intentions. But the fact that they lack vision, the fact they don't fully understand how things work and what is going on, they end up doing things that go AGAINST our true interests.

Someone complained about the fact that we never address years of oppression, captivity and colonialism. And to understand why, all you have to do is to look at the image attached to this post.

The oppressor has been doing things to destroy since he has started his agressions. In other words, everything they do is to destabilize and destroy us. Once you understand that, you also understand that doing the opposite of what he does is exactly what will heal us.

In 35 years, they have only made one interesting movie that really promotes us. But slavery is their favorite part of history with 60 movies. Why? Do you really think that they make these movies because they want repent, apologize and help us heal? No. The true purpose of these movies is to revive the wounds. To revive the trauma.

I have said it numerous times but I feel like people have forgotten. So I am going to say it again. Here, we don't do history for the sake of telling stories or to entertain you.
We understand that we can't sit and "chill" because we are still oppressed. We do mindful history. Conscious history that takes into account our environment and reality.

History we teach here is for the healing of the people. Not to tell stories. We are fully aware of the impact images and a narrative can have on our lives. That's why we've decided to use it wisely. To heal and not to destroy. Because we need healing. Talking about the same negative parts of our history again and again will never make us move forward. That's useless history. We use history to build the future, not to talk about stories.

Some people are stuck in the past. Especially the negative part of the past. They spend their time talking like victims about what has been done to them. Reinforcing the same negative narratives and contributing to the destruction of the African image. They are actually allies to the oppressor. Either they do it consciously or uncounsciously but they are helping the oppressor.

We already know these stories. We've seen them since we were children. These stories and movies that convinced the majority of our people that Black history started with slavery. Today all our forces must be focused on deconstructing that programming. But unfortunately many of us still don't get it.

And I can understand it because they are so used to it that anything different looks bad. People want to hear about slavery because the oppressor has programmed us to see it has a part of our history. Slavery is not Black history it is white history. How we overcame it is black history. Now, we must move forward and focus on what they don't want to tell us. What they ban, which African greatness.

Don't let these agents fool you. What we ignore is our greatness. That's why ALL of our efforts must be focused on that part of our history that they are trying to hide.

They are hiding it for a reason. Slavery is not even an African concept. Even the word is related to populations foreign to the African continent. But today black people are the image of slavery. Why??

Can't we see what's really going on here?
I thought that this was clear after all these years spent on these platforms preaching and teaching about our healing process. Unfortunately I am noticing that we still have people who are agents trying to bring us down.

Please family, don't let them fool you. We won't let them stop our healing process. Focus on greatness. We are healing and recovering our true image and reputation. History is a good think to know, but not all facts are useful, especially when we have a purpose and PROBLEMS to overcome. We focus on History that solves our problems. Not history to complain and cry. As I always say, Mr. Imhotep is about history that heals. Not all history heals. Some history is actually feeding your oppressor's ego and ruining your reputation and self esteem. Wake up.

Promote what they are hiding, because that's what will solve our issues. This is real. It is not a movement or whatever. It is the way things work. Everything else is useless in this specific context.

𝙈𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙏𝙮𝙨𝙤𝙣 - I went to Egypt [emoji1093] to see our History as Africans, and one thing I concluded was the day Black Africans realises themselves and they unite as one, the world will shake. As Africa we are on trial, from Riches to Rags , and lowest of all nations, but that is how nature works,soon the leaders be leaders of Earth. [emoji123]

All features attributed to "white people" today are actually Black people's features. And this makes sense since the whole planet was Black. All of us can notice it just by looking at all groups of indigenous people of this planet. There are black people with all features we wrongfully attribute to white people, everywhere on the planet.

Black people with red/blond hair exist.
Black people with straight hair exist.
Black people with colored eyes exist.
Black people with "caucasian" facial features exist.

And they have existed before the appearance of white or pale skin. Proof that these features have nothing to do with a so called European or Asiatic admixture. These features have not been given by white people to Black people at all. It is the opposite. Cheikh Anta Diop, the great African scholar even wrote that there were 2 types of Black Africans, with kinky and straightish hair. But both were 100% Africans.

So, the way we see the world today is biased since we always try to oppose Black to White. And we wrongfully attribute all these features to white people. Thinking that they are they ones who brought it to the world. But that’s not the case. The true answer is that there is no opposition to Black because it is the root of everything. There is no white without Black. But there is Black without the existence of White. And it has actually been that way for 99,9% of the existence of the human race on this planet. It is not even a debate. There is no white race. There is only ONE Black race with numerous levels of melanin. One people with a great diversity.

Most of us don't understand how the current diversity, especially the one that causes the most problems, which is skin color, appeared. Many of us still think that there was a group of white people who appeared in opposition to Black people. This is what European racism has created to promote themselves.

Europeans classified human beings and put those who looked like them on top of it. Attributing themselves the merit of the achievements of all original melanated people.

What we have to understand is that most of these mutations started gradually. And slower than most of us think, we've been lied to. People didn't become white with straight hair and colored eyes just by magic one day. The truth is that some Black people started to lose melanin in some parts of their bodies. But not all at once.

It probably started with hair. Some people developed wavy hair, then straight hair. But they were still Black. We can see it with Australian Aborigines for example. They are Black with wavy, straight hair but also kinky hair. And they have all these features without any "white people’s" intervention. They are fully black, not mixed at all.
Then some people started to lose melanin in their hair. They started to be red haired or blond, but still with kinky hair, then with wavy and straight hair when they combined both mutations.
Then due to the climate first and for numerous other reasons later, some started to develop different facial and body features adapted to their new environment, but they were still black. We can see many people like this in Africa but especially in India. Indians are actually Black white people.
And finally the last and more recent mutation that is also the one that caused the most horrifying problems, skin color. Some people started to lose melanin in their skin. And this is the main feature attributed to white people or northern people. But they actually came last. Everything that existed south had already been created by Black people. Civilization was associated to Black people (even ancient Greeks wrote about it, that’s why their Gods were Africans according to themselves).

Civilization, knowledge, power were Black people’s "things". And it has been that way for a very long time even after Greece, Rome etc.

At the end some people ended up combining all of these mutations at the same time. And racist people decided to build an identity around these features to fit their terrible agenda.

People must understand that Pale skin individuals didn't reach the banks of Africa or even those of Southern Europe before very late periods. And even after they reached these areas, Black people were still there. So, it was a melting pot. European scholars added themselves in stories they had nothing to do with by getting the monopole of education. They created books, movies, illustrations etc. This is why so many people feel offended when we say that ancient figures were Black skinned or Africans. They fell for the propaganda and the lies. We are telling you the truth.

It is necessary to rethink everything we know about ourselves. About Humanity. It is necessary to question everything we've been taught.

"What you see in this picture is not happening in Africa!

We are in the United States in the state of Georgia, and that is not enough to say: we are in an American university (Georgia Gwinnett).

The Black woman you see is no ordinary person on the street. She is indeed a Professor of Biological Sciences at this university. Her name: Ramata Sissoko. She has a Doctorate and more (obtaining a Doctorate in Science in North America is to be at the pinnacle of planetary knowledge in her field). It should be added that she is from Africa, from Mali [emoji1159].

Let's get back to the facts, now that the context is well established. This Professor had hit the headlines in the United States by his beautiful gesture, gesture relayed by thousands on Twitter.

That day, a student mother who could not find a babysitter for her baby had to come to class with the child. The Malian teacher, instead of sending the student to the door for the child's crying, was rather taken with compassion ... like a real African woman.

She took the baby from the student, put the baby on her back in a typical African style and taught the lesson for three hours.

The child, very comfortable on her back, did not make a single noise during the three hours she gave the lesson. All the students could not believe this magic. Yes, it is magic in this part of the world.

But this Malian professor was unaware that this gesture, for her harmless, was going to make her much more popular than her status as professor of biological sciences.

Indeed, she had just taught two African values to students and to the world: sympathy and maternal character.

Sympathy because it was kind enough to allow the student to enter class with a baby who cries every second. Other teachers would have applied the rules by showing the door to the student.

As for the maternal character, it is fully reflected in the carrying of the baby on the back, a practice absent in North America. In fact, in the African tradition, women have always carried infants on their backs. We think that there is a fundamental bond, a protection, and a love shared between the baby and his mother.

Yes, you have values to keep and teach the rest of the world!

THE REAL MARIE ANTOINETTE—at 14 yrs old, by Jean-Etienne Liotard c. 1770

“Marie was not considered beautiful by the standards of the day, which required a pale complexion, blond hair and blue eyes, Marie was blessed with an abundance of dark curls, a swarthy complexion, and brown eyes”

SOURCE;

(Josephine Wilkinson, “Louis XIV: The Power and the Glory”)

The word Swarthy or Swart derives from ‘Schwarz’ or ‘Schwartz’ which means “to be black; black man, and negro

SOURCE;

(Flügel-Schmidt-Tanger, a Dictionary of the English and German Languages for Home and School; 1905)

Definition of SWARTHY:

Black, Dark Brown, Tawny [tan colored]

(Samuel Johnson, “A Dictionary of the English Language; in which the Words are Deduced from Their Originals; and Illustrated in Their Different Significations ... Together with a History of the Language, and an English Grammar.”; Vol 4; 1818)

This portrait of Marie is now titled "Portrait of a young woman"

It was painted by Jean Etienne Liotard in 1770...

In 1770, Jean Etienne Liotard was commissioned by Maria Theresa of Austria to paint this portrait of her daughter Marie Antoinette...

In May 1770, Marie Antoinette became Dauphine of France at age 14 upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, (Louis XVI) heir apparent to the French throne...

She was the last Queen of France before the French Revolution...

Marie Antoinette was guillotined at 12:15 p.m. on October 16, 1793…

Her last words are recorded as, "Pardonnez-moi, monsieur. Je ne l’ai pas fait exprès" or "Pardon me, sir, I did not do it on purpose", after accidentally stepping on her executioner's shoe…

Both of these portraits are said to have been painted by Liotard in 1770…

However, only one of these portraits was actually painted by Liotard circa 1770…

I’ll give you a few hints as to the one that is…

It’s the one with virtually invisible brushstrokes, beautifully smooth color transitions, incredible realism, and intricate detail…
