The Front Porch : REPARATIONS IS DUE NOW

[river]

You do realize that Africans knew who GOD was while your ancestors were still worshiping idols in caves?

Adam and Eve were Africans. They werent called Christians or Jews. They knew GOD a lot better than your ancestors. So did their kids. And their kids

Hey Kemetstry,

Adam and Eve must have been the first Africans to turn white for one reason or the other. We know all civilization started in Africa but some were mutated. One thing for sure Adam and Eve were not Black. There ain't a Black woman living that would take an apple from a snake and there ain't a Black man living that would give up his rib for a woman.

Listen, the Bible puts the Earth at six thousand years old. Our ancestors in Africa already had civilizations tens of thousands of years ago so why try to shoehorn Africa into the Bible like we need their book to legitimize us. We have the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, The Instructions of Ptah, The Book of Going Forth by Day (Pert Em Heru), the Corpus Ifa—all our own spiritual texts tens of thousands of years before the Bible. We don't need to be in the White man's book.

We have this attitude where a Black man can be the greatest violinist in the world but he's second fiddle until smaddy White recognizes and approves of him. Sad that it's possible to think we are conscious and still have that attitude.

The 'one drop' rule was not overturned by that decision

.

True that. If the law no longer exists then why do the police still enforce it?

That along with other 'Jim Crow' laws

Well, the biblical time line cant be taken litterally.

Would you say the same to Obama? That politician is only 1/6 Black (1/2 White, 1/3 Arab, 1/6 Black), yet he is accepted as Black, though he has less AA genetic background than I do, and is as devoid of the "Black Experience" as I am, him because he has no Black American ancestry, and me because I grew up around the world, and not in the middle of an AA culture.

What is the "Black Experience"?

Does this not present a monolith?
Does this not also present a failure to make distinctions?
