    Ahwwww. Too bad it ended abruptly. He said many things that confirmed my thesis on the Arabs and how people conflate the Native peoples of North west Africans with the recent enslaved Africans.

    Peace to Dr Runoko he drop very solid information tho not really deep depending on the nature of the presentation. Most of Africans who tend to identify them selves as Arabs they are just ignorant of they own history which made them confuse between being Muslim and being arab and they always defend Arabs from slavery thinking they are defending Islam which is totally two different things

    Africans are doing well in Botswana. Frankly I think everyone should look up the economy of Botswana. If every African country and Caribbean tried to imitate what Botswana has done then the whole African diaspora could be better off considerably. Also look up Rwanda, Mauritius, Ghana, Libya under Gaddafi. Also check out Senegal which is unique because it's military has never suffered a military coup and is one of the most effective armed forces in Africa despite not being a wealthy country.

    Azrael R. your mis-information about the primary role of afrikans in Spain and other parts of europe were as servants to white arabs is a myth and it is adequately rebutted with irrefutable proof in Dr Ivan Sertima book "Golden Age Of The Moor". Saudia Arabia if you don't know got its name from a black arab and dont forget that the original arabs were black people NOT white/caucasians

    Response to "so-called truth about afrika": Do your proper research'. This is what you need to know about Dr Ivan Sertima- Ivan Van Sertima was born in Guyana, South America. He was educated at the School of Oriental and African Studies (London University) and the Rutgers Graduate School and holds degrees in African Studies and Anthropology. He is a literary critic, a linguist, an anthropologist and has made a name in all three fields. He was honored for his work in this field by being asked by the Nobel Committee of the Swedish Academy to nominate candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature from 1976-1980. He has also been honored as an historian of world repute by being asked to join UNESCO's International Commission for Rewriting the Scientific and Cultural History of Mankind. Professor of African Studies at Rutgers University, Dr. Van Sertima was also Visiting Professor at Princeton University. He is the Editor of the Journal of African Civilizations, which he founded in 1979 and has published several major anthologies which have influenced the development of multicultural curriculum in the United States

    Response to so-called "Truth about Africa hurts": The days of people presenting their opinions/myths about the history of afrika as so-called truths are long gone and over.

    Response to so-called truth about afrika: The only person you will convince with your half-truths and lies is yourself. We defend the honesty and credability of the works of Dr Ivan Sertima, Dr Clark , Dr Ben Jochannon John Jackson among others. We don't need no validation from any arabs or european regarding the authenticity of the works of afrikan historians. I'm done with you.

    I read once a lot of Black Africans Muslims were evolve with the White Arabs Slave Trade in North And East Africa. And that a lot of Black Africans adopted Islam so they and their Family wouldn't be sold to into slavery. And that's how they Became Black Arabs.

    The so-called Middle East is Northeast Africa. It sits on African tectonic plate. Meaning it's the same continent. The pale Arabs built the suez canal in 1859-1869.

    The biggest influence Africans and Arabs had on the world was the normalization of slavery ! And the perpetuation of slavery through the 21st century . Stop romanticizing African and Arab culture . If Europeans were romanticizing their history it would be called racist and white supremacist . Both of these continents and cultures have a terrible record on human rights abuses and individual freedoms . History and historical norms look pretty bad on every continent . Stop trying to make African culture or even Arab culture look virtuous every one of them every one of everyone throughout history have committed horrible atrocities no one is no better than anyone else historically speaking especially . And I hate people who try to romanticize African culture Arab culture native American culture or any culture for that matter all of them historically have committed horrible atrocities .

    Yes, the influence was tremendous on Europe, North and South America, specifically Africa. The latter got civilized because of such influences.

    The Zanj are Bantu people from south east Africa. to say east African while technically somewhat true is otherwise ambiguous considering different ethnic groups in the region

    IN ALL DUE RESPECT! I DISAGREE WHEN HE SAID THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE United States SAID THAT THEY ARW NOT AFRICANS, AND THEY ARE NOT .
    THE PEOPLE THAT THEY CALL AFRICAN AIN'T AFRICAN .

    AFRICA WAS THE NAME THAT EURPEANS GAVE THE PORTION OF THE CONTINENT THAT THEY CONTROL, ( Roman Providence ) NORTHERN AFRICA! EVEN THE WORD EGYPT WAS THE NAME THAT EURPEANS GAVE KEMET !

    SO HOW CAN THE INHABITANTS OF ( SO-CALLED) AFRICA BE AFRICANS 🤔🤔🤔
    WE ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF THE INHABITANTS OF ( SOCALLED ) AFRICA .

    THE INHABITANTS OF ( SO-CALLED) AFRICA ARE ASIATICS.
    THE BROTHER SAID THAT HU-MANITY BEGAIN IN ONE PLACE, AND ONE LOCATION AND IT'S NOT AFRICA, THE BIRTHPLACE OF HU-MANITY BEGAIN IS ASIA.

    IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE HOLY LAND,. WHY IS IT CALLED THE HOLY LAND 🤔🤔🤔

    It's called the Holy Land because its the birthplace of Hu-manity .
    Man gets his Race from the Continent from which his or her Forefathers Originated.

    It's called the Middle East is because Mecca is in the Middle , the Heart , the Center, in the East .

    ARAB/ISMAELITE is ULTRA-BLACK and NOT to be confused with BEDUIN/TURK/etc ( the same way that HEBREW/ISRAELITE is ULTRA-BLACK and NOT to be confused with Jew )

    🏴1️⃣ The Noble AHL’AL’BAYT/12 IMÂMS OF ISLÂM were persecuted by the NON-real-Arabs(Ummayads/Abbassid, najdi etc) ALSO for being PURE-ARABS/BLACKS.

    🏴2️⃣ The enemies of Truth, Ahl Al Bayt and The Blacks announced: « Anyone who say that the Prophet is Black should be killed”.

    🏴3️⃣ The renowned poet ibn ar-Rumi composed a famous poem – Jiymiyyah – to address the Abbasid criminal and deceiver al-Mutawakkil:

    🏴4️⃣ Ibn Rumi say : « You [misrespect] The Ahl’Al Bayt ( Rass’ul’Allah and Family ) for their BLACKNESS While they are PURE ARABS OF BLACK SKIN. »

    🏴5️⃣ « …However, you ( Ummayads and Abbassids ) are blue-eyed. The Romans have decorated your faces with their color." end of quote of Ibn Rûmi.

    🚫 The BEDUINO-"White-BERBERIZED" (NOT ARABO-ISLÂMIC as western propaganda say) slavery have the SAME indra-hanumanist origin AS THE EUROPEAN.

    🏴 Mohammad Al Naf Azzakiyah, direct descendant of Rassul’Allah also knowed as «CHARCOAL» was called PURE Arab/Ismaelite for a reason.

    ⚡️🏴 REAL ARABS are ISMAELITES and ULTRA-BLACK ( MORE BLACK and BETTER ALKEBULANS than you) and NOT to be confused with BEDUINS and “White BERBERS”.

    🏴1️⃣ Hadith of the BLACK sheeps ( REAL ARABS) and White Sheeps
    Al Mustadrik Ala AlSaheehain Chapter 4 Page 437

    🏴2️⃣ On the authority of Umar Ibn Sharaheel ” The Prophet Mohammed – Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Âlihi Wa Salam – say:

    🏴3️⃣ ” I perceived a vision of myself leading BLACK Sheeps then WHITE Sheeps arrived in their midst until he could not see the Black Sheeps .

    🏴4️⃣  "…So Abu Bakr say: Messenger of Allah, As for THE BLACK SHEEPS ARE THE ARABS and will become Muslims in mass numbers.

    🏴4️⃣ "..THE WHITE SHEEPS ARE THE NON-ARABS and will become so numerous that there will be no Arabs amongst them .

    🏴5️⃣ "Then Rassul’Allah – Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Âlihi Wa Salâm say that is the way the Malayka ( "Angel") interpreted the dream.”

Postmodernism and Its Impact, Explained.

Helen Pluckrose outlines some of the arguments later explored in depth in her bestselling 2020 book, Cynical Theories (co-authored with James Lindsay). The essay charts the pernicious influence of postmodernist thinking on two generations of academics and activists. If you want to understand how we got to a place where microaggressions are denounced as violence but the brutal terrorism of an intifada is considered righteous, this is an important primer.

Iona Italia reads Helen Pluckrose’s essay published in Quillette: https://quillette.com/2024/05/07/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-foucault-lyotard-derrida/
