    The story of the African man did not start with slavery, why don't you lecture your students about the great contributions of the Moors of North Africa after they invaded Spain led by Tariq ibn-Ziyad in 711 AD and the great achievements brought by these great men in Spain?

    Wow more white revisionism of their history? How could she possibly start the Afrakan presence in Spain from the sixteenth century, and ignore the history from 711-1492, when the Afrakans were in total control of the Iberian Peninsular? Would this not be the answer to her questions of their disdain for Black people? Oh well, like she said their white culture is structured on the racist idealism, of a false superiority?Touch and hold a clip to pin it. Unpinned clips will be deleted after 1 hour.

How Africa Shaped Our Christmas Celebrations: Discover the Hidden History

Published

Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.
