Rastafari Speaks

Re: The Islamized African
In Response To: The Islamized African *LINK* ()

According to Chancellor Williams, in his book "The destruction of Black Civilization" The Asiatic/Arab is just as if not more responsible for the destruction of "the land of the Blacks" as the European/Caucasian.

"The relentless searchlights of history were turned on the roles played by both Islam and Christianity in the subjugation of the Blacks. This confused many and outraged those who did not pause to distinguish evil men who use religion to disguise their real aims. The unthinking Muslim or Christian would likely believe that his religion is being attacked rather than those conquerors and enslavers who disgraced it in covering their drive for wealth and world domination."

He also provides evidence for a united political, social and economic ideology throughout the continent:

The Destruction of African civilization, by Chancellor Williams

The Preview:

“A continent-wide study of the traditional customary laws of the Blacks, for example, enabled us to learn, for the first time, that a single constitutional system prevailed throughout all Black Africa, just as though the whole race, regardless of the countless patterns, lived under a single government: A similar continent-wide study of African social and economic systems through the millennia reveal the same overall pattern of unity and sameness of all fundamental institutions.”

“Elsewhere I have emphasized, by repetition, that some of the most fruitful sources for study came quite unintentionally from white scholars. A case in point was at Oxford; the course was “The History of Colonialism in Africa:” The presence of two or three Blacks in the class, while obviously uncomfortable to some, was generally ignored; for African studies were of long standing an integral part of the imperial system. They were not planned for Africans at all, but for the future administrators of the Empire in Africa. So Professor Madden was pointing out in his lecture how difficult, and even impossible, it was to rule Africans in view of their “wild and most primitive system of democracy,” for just as fast as African kings or chiefs undertook to carry our British laws (which displeased the people), “the people would remove them from office;” therefore this primitive African democracy had to be destroyed,” before the British system of Indirect Rule could be effective.”

“The Europeans were confronted with a real social democracy that existed long before the terms of “socialism” and “democracy” was invented in the west. For Dr. Madden it was savage because the people were the real rulers, in fact, and not merely in theory.”

“This is why I urge those students who intend to accept the great challenge of basic research in this discipline to go into “enemy territory,”…They are fruitful sources of un-conscious evidence, supplying the very evidence they thought to suppress or recording facts the significance of which they were totally ignorant. A fairly good example is the written account of a European explorer in East Africa; he was outraged because he and his party had to wait two weeks to present a request to explore the country to the African King. “The black autocrat, the account went on, had the presumption to keep white men waiting (italics mine) in order to show his people how high and mighty he was. The whites were denied even a brief audience, while he king would quickly receive any Black that wandered in from the countryside. Now the explorer, without knowing it, was actually reporting how African democracy worked, and how it had been working before there was an Athens or Greece (where Westerners think democracy was born). The explorer would have been surprised to know that (1) “king” in Africa meant something entirely different from what it meant in Europe and Asia; (2) that this black king, far from “putting on airs,” did not have the right to receive them, even socially, without the presence of at least three senior Elders; (3) that to consider a petition to conduct explorations in the country, the full Council of State had to be called, and that this could not be done by the king without the advice of the First Minister (who happened to be on tour when the explorers arrived at the capital); (4) and that the “old Blacks” they saw “wandering in from the countryside” and immediately given audience, were the councilors who had been summoned -some from distant provinces- to pass on their request to explore. They were the direct representatives of the people. The voice of the king was in fact the voice of the people, without which he could not act on any matter of importance, or even talk alone with strangers.”
