There is nothing better for black people than our own historical experiences when we want to understand what is going on in the world.
I am convinced that black people are the most humane people on the face of the earth. We reconcile and forgive more easily than any people I know. I believe that this is because we have a great love for humanity and an appreciation for the ordinariness of all of us under heaven. Yet we are also rather complicated when it comes to our relationship with our own pain, suffering, and death.
What I propose is that we re-consider how we view history. Interrogate each story and every incident from the standpoint of our own humanity and you will see in a new light the realities of the world. It has made a big difference in how I approach what is going on in politics, culture, science, and art.
Of course, we must never underestimate the power of the media to distort our images of ourselves and the power of the media to promote the images of others.
Why are the Greeks considered the fathers of philosophy? Let's examine history a little closer.

The Greeks are considered the Father of philosophy and History, Medicine and everything else for that matter , is because when they stood outside the temples of Egypt for over 2 decades in some cases to be allowed in the temples, people such as Solon ,Plato, Herodtus, Socretes, were told by the High Priest: "You Greeks are like children you always forget your history. They took this knowledge and wisdom back to Greek, So when Greek society ask: well who was the first ones to acknowledge this way of thought in Medicine, philosophy et.el The people that went over to obtain the knowledge fron Egypt were given the credit, and not the actual high priest themselves. Because the only person really regulated to God statue besides the Pharoh himself was Imhotep, everyone else were just High Priest, and the Fathere of nothing but the same knowledge that was past down to them from centuries ago before the Greeks ever existed.

I agree Nubaka. Had it not been for Afrikan / Egyptians. The Greek civilization wouldn't have any philosophies or scientific knowledge at all. Egypt's great universities and libraries of knowledge were ran-sacked stolen and reclaimed Greek. Egyptians developed a long time in it cradle., "The Cycle of Civilization". The longest in history, it's long chronology. Based on data from Manetho- the last student of ancient Egyptian Mystery School of Anu. Before it was invaded by Alexander the Great in 330 BCE. By the way Egyptians had already invented the calendar,which neccesarily required the passage of a (1000) thousand years to create.
