The greatest crime ever committed was that against African slaves forcefully brought to America and their descendants. We were not only taken from our homeland but also stripped of our cultures, languages, religious practices and families. We were forced to accept everything European and reject all things African. We had the idea that we are subhuman ingrained into our psyche. What is left is a hollow people that feel no connection to anything resembling their roots. All of this to say that what the author pose is easier said than done. But I agree that it starts with learning the history and familiarizing yourself with African culture, but even then where do we start. We really have no clue which country in Africa and tribe we originated from. I can honestly say I feel no connection to Africa and this both angers and saddens me.

Genetically, we are mostly of African descent and there is nothing wrong with that at all. n 1987 verifiable proof was discovered that all humans came from one woman who lived in AFRICA.

But we all did not come from the jungle. Egypt is also in Africa.
However, we all have to be careful misstating the facts. I have heard many of our people say “Jesus was black”. They referenced a scripture from thee book on Revelations but used it out of context. The verses that describe him are after he went to Heaven, not when He was down here.

Each group (Caucasians esp.) seems to be trying to transform the Messiah into the image of the group instead of allowing Christ to transform them.
