African History
The Reason Europeans Erased Africans from History
Historian Robin Walker breaks down the difference between racial and self-esteem in the context of Africans being erased from history:

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.

Going forward its very important to snob non Africans mostly Europeans from our projects. Keep them away from you in education, sports , culture, dating, travel , farming etc.
I am working hard to erase everything slapped on Africans by Europeans
Try your best Africans to erase Europe in your system

I'm not being funny but Africa has not created any structures from these so-called great societies they supposedly had there is no proof you can look at Ancient Rome or the Aztecs or Mayans and there is proof of these great civilizations and what did they all of a sudden regressed to living in mud huts with no running water? And Africans are always claiming to be Kings and Pharaohs for in ancient Egypt the ancient Egyptians were not African they are Middle Easterns no Pharaoh was black stop lying with that we wuz Kings

Black people can have ALL of the personal and racial esteem they want it will NOT do them an OUNCE of good if they don't have POWER!!
If DEVELOPING POWER in the world is NOT the ULTIMATE GOAL and INTENTIONS of black people you're not talking about ANYTHING OF VALUE because NOTHING else matters but POWER!!!
It's ALL about POWER!!!
POWER, POWER, POWER?
Lean it, study it, APPLY it.

The real reason is that onced we helped them get established they started to realize that history will show that their history started with us teaching them. So they went out and destroyed almost any trace of us and gave most of our achievements to either themselves or other races.

Erasure or preservation of a people's History have been irrelevant to conquerors from time immemorial. Did the Romans consider the History of the Greeks before conquering them? The Mongols the Chinese? The Angles the Britons? Motivation to conquer is motivated by self-interest and/or the taking of offense, everything else is tactic and strategy.

It’s such a hard thing because it’s a survival tactic for black people. They just want to survive or not be limited and they see black association as a limit in some manners. It’s difficult. You are insulted by everyone…however most races have their racial group as a whole who agree to support one another….black people don’t have that…we don’t want to help each other because we want more ease in our life…when you don’t have the tools you just try to destroy. The deep distrust is from lack of resources and support. Instead of giving resources and support they criticize…the literally say we don’t have anything or Im going to do this and that…people can only believe in you as much as they believe in themselves and have a practicality about themselves…black people are impatient and insecure but they don’t realize that most people are…you just have to push through and we can’t afford not to push through…everyone has antagonist around them you just need more people who support you than don’t…we don’t have enough people with the mindset to support….I do believe they hate themselves and their blackness but mask it with hyper confidence.

When the Europeans rewoite the Bible to we were the cursed tribe. Make it make sense, scientifically, historically and factually Africans were the first man on earth and Pheomelanin can't magically give birth the Eumelanin, Eumelanin can only be inhibited or watered down. We couldn't have come from Ham and through him enter into Africa. No one birth us and we came from Africa. Ask yourself this, if Eumelanin is an antioxidant molecule born from Tyrosine and dopamine that protects from the sun's radiation, protects from the appearance of aging, and protects from age related brain illnesses, and God blessed the Eumelanated man with a resourceful like Africa how were we cursed? More like people saw what we had and just wanted it, and acted like savages for our resources, strength and power.

Summary from an European perspective. When The Greeks and Romans made laws, buildings, art and philosophies over 2000 years ago, they didn't bother Africans. When the Huns invaded and the great peoples migration happened 1300 years ago, they didn't bother Africans. When the Mongols invaded and brought the plague that killed close to 50% of Europeans 700 years ago, they didn't bother Africans. When the Europeans recovered and went through the renaissance and printing press 600 years ago, they didn't bother Africans. After the Europeans started sailing further and further away from Europe they discovered the New World, Asia and also African kingdoms selling slaves 500 years ago, they didn't bother Africans just bought their slaves. After having bought Africans from other Africans as slaves and paying in industrial products for 300 years, Europeans started banning slavery 200 years ago, this bothered Africans as they had built up an economy of mostly enslaving and selling humans and not so much any industry. Now Africans are poor and with no industry to compete with the rest of the world with and 140 years ago when European powers only had acquired under 10%(mostly coastal areas) suddenly medicine and technology allowed the Europeans to decide to take over Africa without barely any resistance and in 25 years it went from under 10% to 95% under European empires rule and as the natives didn't have much to say. The Europeans Powers(with their industrial and scientific revolution) in their competition with each other took land and drew borderlines with each other, this bothered Africans but without a industry, technology, statecraft or army there really wasn't any fight. For about 60 years (2-3 generations) the African lands are under European colonial management with any attempt of freeing themselves being futile. After 2 world wars and the steam of the world spanning empires had run out the decolonization happened around the world, as the Europeans left most African countries eighter went strongman dictatorship or communist (let's share the wealth! what wealth?), none too successful recipes. Now the Africans are "free" (with some European influences left, and some new Chinese influences gained). There still might not be any great industry, technology, statecraft or army but now Africans will have to stand on their own legs and compete with the rest of the world, and no one is going to hold their hand.

I agree and I won't resort to using offensive language, including racial slurs.
Disagreements are natural, but my exploration of the Black Pharaohs of Kemet in Africa has broadened my perspective.
It has opened up a new world, allowing me to clearly envision and realize my full potential.
I have eliminated the use of the N-word from my vocabulary.
And, focus on studying history of Ancient Kemet, in which should serve as a template or blueprint for people of African descent and indigenous communities.
