Love this man. As an anthropologist, I looked up to Diop so much. This was the history that was absent from academia. Incredibly important scholar. Thank you, Mutabaruka, for highlighting this man and subject. European Western scholars really led us astray in regards to Egypt. Thank you again. Bless, King!
Mr Hawass Egypt Stop lie'ing and White washing Ancient Egypt was pure African people period I know people who visit the museums in Egypt and told me that the mummies were pure African people period the art and statues and writing language is of pure African people period I look online and noticed that the mummies were pure African people period not this Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin bs 💯 true facts 💯 percent fact's
I love listening to Muta. I have done some research and watched some of Mr. Diop's interviews, and I must say this man is nothing short of amazing. I'm trying to get my children educated about him as well so when the school systems try to tell them non-sense, they will be able to enlighten them with facts.
Through his work, the Senegalese Diop freed generations of Africans from the inferiority complex that had been instilled in them through contact with the Europeans, the colonial powers. 🌍📚🦁 The English historian Prof. Martin Bernal, who teaches in the US, is no less zealous when it comes to freeing African history from the colonial perspective. He, too, holds the view that black Egyptians founded the ancient Egyptian civilisation... But Bernal was nearly lynched for his writings that denounced Eurocentrism and the falsification of African history! 🔥🚀🎯 This shows the importance of exploring Africa's history beyond the colonial point of view. One can only hope, therefore, that interest in the research of Anta Diop & Martin Bernal, the two most important proponents of a new African historiography, will grow both in the United States & in Europe! 🌱🌻✌🏻😎
diop making lies to made Egyptian was black negro civilztion because he know black african do not have great civilization like north africa, middle east, europe, asia and mesoamerica, that why you never found monument and sophiscated grand architecture in west, central and south africa negroland. Sinai, Libya, Negev, Levant/Palestine-Syria and Arabia near Egypt was never black same with Egypt, black african have inferior complex shame of their ancestor.

CIVILIZATION OR BARBARISM, subtitled An Authentic Anthropology, is a somewhat advanced presentation of Cultural Anthropology. First time readers of Cheikh Anta Diop, consider THE CULTURAL UNITY OF BLACK AFRICA, subtitled "The Domains of Patriarchy and Matriarchy in Classical Antiquity". This work introduces the fundamental concepts of cultural anthropology within an African context.
Well formulated thought 💭 but it’s against Israel 🇮🇱 existence for the concept of African intellectual 🧐 scholars to exist. We might claim Israel as africa and make that a taiwan/ China hot button issue. But interest is good but sincere and for pure motives with no malice will be applauded. Industry politics controls academia
I remember my first real paid job at the age of sixteen and two whitemen talking and one of them saying that black people did not contribute to civilisation or achieve anything to speak of, and he also said, black people don't read so if he wanted to hide the truth, he'd put it in a book. This angered me because this man seemed know more of me and my people than i knew about myself. Fortunately, i was not arrested for the bitch lick i gave him and he took it like a man although i did get fired. (Respect to you Ivor for not calling the cops.) I bought this book about seven years ago and although i completed two university degrees one being African and Caribbean Studies, and i'm no scholar by any means, and i must say Civilisation or Barbarism was the most interesting book to read, and also for me the hardest, but because of my dyslexia i almost had to use a thesaurus for every scientific termonology that Diop used, which i'd previously never heard of. I would definitely recommend buying this book if even only to win an argument with white folk as to our true origin, along with scientifically proven evidence in relation to the vast span of time between us and the european's emergence and as well as our contributions to civilisation that europeans later adopted and did not state their source. One Love.
They Came Before Columbus by Guyanese born historian Ivan Van Sertima is also a very revealing book to read about the true history of Africa, Caribbean and the world. That book explains the lies told by the European oppressors, historians and their cohorts.

Where did Strabo claim the Egyptian were like Ethiopians . Strabo seems to be measuring the world, and clearly didn’t know how big Africa/ Ethiopia was. Ethiopia means burnt faces, a term you can be sure was used for black ppl. Not a country, as , as the Romans travelled through the Sahara they called the people in the west Ethiopians also. And claim the garamanites hunted Ethiopians , if the Egyptian were black they would have called them Ethiopians as well, stand to logic. Strabo noted Sesotris the Egyptian was the first to subdue the countries of the Ethiopian ( burnt face ppl) Sesostris the Aegyptian, which tells in hieroglyphics of his passage across the gulf; for manifestly he was the first man to subdue the countries of the Aethiopians and the Troglodytes; and he then crossed into Arabia, and thence
Sorry I didn’t find Herodotus saying any of the sort. I mostly find him trying to find the source of the Nile. Can’t really take him at his word. Here he described the land as black, by right that’s what kemet means, black land, not ppl Egypt where sand is found, namely, the hill above Memphis; and further, I found the country to bear no resemblance either to its borderland Arabia, or to Libya- nay, nor even to Syria, which forms the seaboard of Arabia; but whereas the soil of Libya is, we know, sandy and of a reddish hue, and that of Arabia and Syria inclines to stone and clay, Egypt has a soil that is black and crumbly, as being alluvial and formed of the deposits brought down by the river from Ethiopia. ( not modern day Ethiopia) We know any biblical mention of Ethiopia, is referring to kush, as Herodotus made clear of the city ruled by Candace The country above Elephantine is inhabited by the Ethiopians, who possess one-half of this island, the Egyptians occupying the other. Above the island there is a great lake, the shores of which are inhabited by Ethiopian nomads; after passing it, you come again to the stream of the Nile, which runs into the lake. Here you land, and travel for forty days along the banks of the river, since it is impossible to proceed further in a boat on account of the sharp peaks which jut out from the water, and the sunken rocks which abound in that part of the stream. When you have passed this portion of the river in the space of forty days, you go on board another boat and proceed by water for twelve days more, at the end of which time you reach a great city called Meroe, which is said to be the capital of the other Ethiopians. The only gods worshipped by the inhabitants are Jupiter and Bacchus, to whom great honours are paid. There is an oracle of Jupiter in the city, which directs the warlike expeditions of the Ethiopians; when it commands they go to war, and in whatever direction it bids them march, thither straightway they carry their arms. I actually read it. And there’s nothing to confirm the Egyptian were black. Other than when kush invaded, it’s more likely they were not black
My good people! The enemy has been sowing seeds of doubt for 1,000's of years. Why should we be surprised. In the words of our ancestors Dr. John Henrik Clarke, "I'm surprised, your surprised". Let's keep our energy directed tge way it's suppose to be. Ase'

Dude, imo. If you are white and a true historian. Diops work should be an incredible inspiration to you. This man was an incredible scholar, faced so much backlash during his life time. And still stayed commited to doing scientific research and has put together some of the most impressive research I’ve ever seen

@@Nkosi766he's credible. Send a link to a historian, anthropologist, archaeologist that's disproven Diop even to this day many years after his passing. I'll be here waiting for a response ,don't get lost !
Put the original name for Africa in Google and you will see the below. In Kemetic History of Afrika, Dr cheikh Anah Diop writes, “The ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan. Alkebu-lan “mother of mankind” or “garden of Eden”.” Alkebulan is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin.
Common Sense dictates the people who are now called Egyptians are Africans. Abyssinia, the geographic location, now called Ethiopia, is their original home.
What common sense or logic are you using. The current inhabitants of the country now call Egypt (Kemet) are Arabs who invaded Egypt in the 7 century and has been living there ever since. The last authentic ethnic Egyptian was "Sadat" who got assassinated by the Arabs interlopers, my guy.
@@lenardbarzey2788 Your hostility has gotten you very far. Since you are the last living EGYPTOLOGIST ALIVE,. sail on!!! WHAT TIME IN THE HISTORY OF NORTH AFRICA'S AM I REFERRING? I often wonder why people's response are accompanied with angst and/or prejudice.
@@dominicakenu4450 Not hostile at all, just speaking facts. If you know your history you wouldn't make that statement...Everybody wants to be Egyptian but can't take the fact that ancient Kemet was all Melanin people (Black) from pre-dynastic Kemet to before all the Invasions.
@@lenardbarzey2788 Dont blame me if every infinitesimal detail has to be explained to you. It is obvious, I was speaking of the GENESIS of that VAST KINGDOM. During my formative years when someone overwhelmed another with an explanation. -- the party will remind them that, THEY ARE NOT A DOLT.
Our conceptualisation of ‘ancient’ egypt spans 3000 years. It was diverse of course there were significant black populations but it was not exclusively black.
All the ancient people were of original hue. Right across the world, its them that end up in the caucus mountains who developed a dislike to their former self.
There is no race nor nation of people that were called Hebrew outside of bible. Hebrew just means " from beyond" or " crossed over". Bible and koran and book of Mormons has nothing to do with black people from the black land. Our records predate monotheism by millions of years and is recorded on stone tablets, papyri, on the walls of Tama-Re " Egipt". No Faith or belief but facts and confirmations. Remember when we say egipt we have to bear in mind that we are talking about an area of land in North East Africa and not mesopotamia or Iraq or Iran or Palestine. etc. Let It Be Made Known And Remembered Always.
I Really think it is wiser to focus on the Heritage of Africa (Ityopiya/Alkebulan/Kemet) and from the Diaspora, even if there is maybe some Truth in what you said. Reality is we are not so different. They are still caught in a Web of Division tactics and the Diversionary illusion of Superiority. People aren't ready to hear It just yet. A very sensitive topic because of the Situation, the fact we're discussing the Semitic/Hebrew Legacy is something to be careful with. Although we can affirm without risk that, there was indeed a deeper connection between the Sons of Jacob-Israel, nomadic Tribes from the land of Canaan, and Kemet civilization. To put it in simple words, we could just say, they learned a lot from each other without necessary sharing the exact same number of dna strands. "[...] Encourage One Another and Build Each Other Up" We know that Joseph Son of Jacob-Israel was offered a Kemi name by Pharaoh/Fary himself : becoming Safnath-Paneah, "The Wise One". Then he proceed to take for wife an "Egyptian" from noble lineage, Asnath daughter of Potiphéra, priest of On. She brought to life two sons, born on Kemet soil. Their respective name were Manasseh and Ephraim. The life of Mosis, giving us a better insight on the state of relation between the Kemet and Semitic people further down the line. Later on, in the beginning of the Christian Era, we have many Old Egyptian accounts and some ancient maps, giving us a better insight on the potential itinerary taken by The Holy Family during their Escape from Galilee to the land of Egypt as Refugees. "In the steps of the Holy Family, from Bethlehem to Upper Egypt" A lot of small churches were erected on the different locations were the Holy family would have resided during their Journey. (Coptic scriptures mentioning at least seven sites) And the Last remnant of "The Virgin's Tree", a Tree that, as we're told, provided shelter to The Virgin Mary herself. One last branch still remain with us today, under the good care of the local population, as a Reminder. The following claim : "Semit and Kemet people were One and the Same..." proved to be, not only of the most Simplistic judgement, but to showcase Utter Naivety in regards of the Significant Amount of Syncretism, from prior Civilizations, that took place In the Age of Antiquity. That we like it or not, sharing the same Ancestral Lineage is the History of Mankind. In the context of Ancient Egypt, it's almost Poetic that Cats are one of Kemet's most sacred Animals. Genetically Lions and Cats share a common Ancestor, although they've been separated by Evolution they are still coming from the same Source.There is countless occurrence of such phenomenon in the work of Creation. I just felt valid to encourage people, if they can, to take the time on doing some proper research in order to back their claim with facts thus avoiding any emotional bias who could affect the quality of their judgement, in the attempt of expressing themselves. Exchange based solely on considered, constructive opinions, is the most Profitable and Natural way to digest any type of informations. And hopefully it shall be : "Knowledge pave the way to Love and Love in it's turn fosters understanding, and leads one along to the path of great common achievements" Haile Selassie I
No doubt original Egypt was original black people.And original man is from Africa !!! Still know that blacks also big time inslaved blacks while Arabs run the busines up & down the continent.Etjiopia had slavery till Italians came...And when you talk "white" know that we Slavic people ( word slave comes from ) had % 0 , 00 black slaves or where killing Africa....all history up till this day.Bless up Muta👑
Anta Diop never set foot in Egypt, never study actual Egyptian archeology , just his personal theories and some pictures, no Actual science, that's why he was never credited, or recognized outside Africa, simply a BSer in saute.
Stop spreading lies. 2 lies here that I will debunk : C.A. Diop has never set foot in Egypt, BIG LIE ! In truth C. A. Diop has been to UNESCO symposium in Cairo, 1974, to debate his views with other egyptologists. 2nd BIG LIE: C.A. Diop was never credited, recognized. The1974 UNESCO symposium in Cairo was held at the request of C.A.Diop, to settle the question of the race of ancient Egyptians. He scientifically showed to the plethore of scholars who went to challenge him, that ancient Egyptian were black. Do you think eminent scholars in the field of Egyptology would come to an event summoned by Diop if he was a nobody ? The era of lies is over.
The Bible contain more proof of that than this book, sometimes you have to stop searching whath you want to hear but what you need to know. I was once like Mr Mutabaruka on my journey of knowledge and I almost end up in the hands of the devil. These ancient Egyptian religions that this man is bragging about were all born in Mesapetomia, Babylon where they were worshipping gods and goddesses in this structure: father god, mother god and son god. This religion is still practiced today under different categories such as freemason, Roman Catholic church, Islam, Hindu etc In these Morden times people call it Illuminati
Continue the great work king Muta, its a pleasure to see you featuring the great Cheikh Anta Diop , I hope in the future you would be able to present a segment of a few other champion, such as Dr Ivan Van Sertima, Dr John Henrik Clark, Dr Ben Jochannan and others, our people need to hear our true story before RUclips block these great men,
What we have here is Muta use of science to confirm his biases, he uses it with Lucy, now here, yet he rejects evolution, and wrongfully claims science says man comes from monkey. He’s wrong no science says that, religious people and young earth creationists, claims that’s what science says. Therefore he believes religion over science when he denies evolution. He needs to revise is 3 monkey poem to make it be true and factual. Right now it’s a lie. I don’t know if he knows it’s a lie, it may just be his misinformation.
Black white pink blue does it make a difference? We're all the same. You fools keep falling for the trap and don't see the bigger picture. Fighting over nonsense and not seeing what is infront of you.
U r the fool colour does make a difference, we want to teach our children about their glorious past and history origin and ancestors. Not some white racist colonizers offspring. Telling us about Jesus God and bible.
Sadly enough there's still something you can call white supremacy. That's what makes us not the same. Though I wish that's the way its going to be. This man is not helping. And behind the scenes.... Asian pulling the strings more and more....
I Never knew tv should be called "I Never knew the truth". To be a Pharoah (especially the first Pharoah) in ancient Egypt, there was one most important mitigating factor: The characteristic of "blue eyes". Ancient peoples believed that "blue eyes" meant you were a "demi-God" - had the blood of Gods, and then worthiness to rule. Yeah, a bunch of BS, but nonetheless that was what early ancient Egyptians believed.

When you have passed this portion of the river in the space of forty days, you go on board another boat and proceed by water for twelve days more, at the end of which time you reach a great city called Meroe, which is said to be the capital of the other Ethiopians. The only gods worshipped by the inhabitants are Jupiter and Bacchus, to whom great honours are paid. There is an oracle of Jupiter in the city, which directs the warlike expeditions of the Ethiopians; when it commands they go to war, and in whatever direction it bids them march, thither straightway they carry their arms.
I actually read it. And there’s nothing to confirm the Egyptian were black. Other than when kush invaded, it’s more likely they were not black
the same misquote black is never mentioned
My good people! The enemy has been sowing seeds of doubt for 1,000's of years. Why should we be surprised. In the words of our ancestors Dr. John Henrik Clarke, "I'm surprised, your surprised". Let's keep our energy directed tge way it's suppose to be. Ase'
Well formulated thought 💭 but it’s against Israel 🇮🇱 existence for the concept of African intellectual 🧐 scholars to exist. We might claim Israel as africa and make that a taiwan/ China hot button issue. But interest is good but sincere and for pure motives with no malice will be applauded.

Dude, imo. If you are white and a true historian. Diops work should be an incredible inspiration to you. This man was an incredible scholar, faced so much backlash during his life time. And still stayed commited to doing scientific research and has put together some of the most impressive research I’ve ever seen

Incredible= not credible
@@Nkosi766he's credible. Send a link to a historian, anthropologist, archaeologist that's disproven Diop even to this day many years after his passing. I'll be here waiting for a response ,don't get lost !
@@alex4k486 that would make no sense to do, as you would dismiss his critics based off your bias.

Preach brother
thank you so very much for your teaching
Kevin Hart mentioned that the Egyptians were black, and they canceled his shows 😅
Rastafari mutabarika good infor one love
We need to take it all back
Put the original name for Africa in Google and you will see the below.
In Kemetic History of Afrika, Dr cheikh Anah Diop writes, “The ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan. Alkebu-lan “mother of mankind” or “garden of Eden”.” Alkebulan is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin.
I bought that book last year.
Common Sense dictates the people who are now called Egyptians are Africans.
Abyssinia, the geographic location, now called Ethiopia, is their original home.
What common sense or logic are you using. The current inhabitants of the country now call Egypt (Kemet) are Arabs who invaded Egypt in the 7 century and has been living there ever since. The last authentic ethnic Egyptian was "Sadat" who got assassinated by the Arabs interlopers, my guy.
@@lenardbarzey2788 Your hostility has gotten you very far.
Since you are the last living EGYPTOLOGIST ALIVE,. sail on!!!
WHAT TIME IN THE HISTORY OF NORTH AFRICA'S AM I REFERRING?
I often wonder why people's response are accompanied with angst and/or prejudice.
@@dominicakenu4450 Not hostile at all, just speaking facts. If you know your history you wouldn't make that statement...Everybody wants to be Egyptian but can't take the fact that ancient Kemet was all Melanin people (Black) from pre-dynastic Kemet to before all the Invasions.
@@dominicakenu4450 Go back and read your original post again, no specific date was given or timeline.
@@lenardbarzey2788 Dont blame me if every infinitesimal detail has to be explained to you.
It is obvious, I was speaking of the GENESIS of that VAST KINGDOM.

Thanks!
Muta love big up science when it suits him.
Big up man like Ivan Sertima
Our conceptualisation of ‘ancient’ egypt spans 3000 years. It was diverse of course there were significant black populations but it was not exclusively black.
educative
I've already got the book 😊
I have that book and read it .
My dna test says I am related to Rameses 3 paternally
👍🏽🙏🏽❤️

I See Pharoah is in Guyana
We love so much Unfortunately we don’t teaching anything ajout him
Kemetic technology & knowledge came largely from Atlantis & Lemuria 🙏🏻

If the anceint Egyptians were black ⚫️ were the anceint hebrews black? according to the bibles anceint hebrews were often mistaken as Egyptians.
All the ancient people were of original hue. Right across the world, its them that end up in the caucus mountains who developed a dislike to their former self.
There is no race nor nation of people that were called Hebrew outside of bible. Hebrew just means " from beyond" or " crossed over". Bible and koran and book of Mormons has nothing to do with black people from the black land. Our records predate monotheism by millions of years and is recorded on stone tablets, papyri, on the walls of Tama-Re " Egipt". No Faith or belief but facts and confirmations. Remember when we say egipt we have to bear in mind that we are talking about an area of land in North East Africa and not mesopotamia or Iraq or Iran or Palestine. etc. Let It Be Made Known And Remembered Always.
@@lifeofa1532 I am not a Muslim you racist and Mormons are dam racists!!!!!!!!
SAME PEOPLE WE BEEN HERE WAY BEFORE THE BIBLE
I Really think it is wiser to focus on the Heritage of Africa (Ityopiya/Alkebulan/Kemet) and from the Diaspora, even if there is maybe some Truth in what you said. Reality is we are not so different. They are still caught in a Web of Division tactics and the Diversionary illusion of Superiority. People aren't ready to hear It just yet.
A very sensitive topic because of the Situation, the fact we're discussing the Semitic/Hebrew Legacy is something to be careful with. Although we can affirm without risk that, there was indeed a deeper connection between the Sons of Jacob-Israel, nomadic Tribes from the land of Canaan, and Kemet civilization. To put it in simple words, we could just say, they learned a lot from each other without necessary sharing the exact same number of dna strands.
"[...] Encourage One Another and Build Each Other Up"
We know that Joseph Son of Jacob-Israel was offered a Kemi name by Pharaoh/Fary himself : becoming Safnath-Paneah, "The Wise One". Then he proceed to take for wife an "Egyptian" from noble lineage, Asnath daughter of Potiphéra, priest of On. She brought to life two sons, born on Kemet soil. Their respective name were Manasseh and Ephraim.
The life of Mosis, giving us a better insight on the state of relation between the Kemet and Semitic people further down the line.
Later on, in the beginning of the Christian Era, we have many Old Egyptian accounts and some ancient maps, giving us a better insight on the potential itinerary taken by The Holy Family during their Escape from Galilee to the land of Egypt as Refugees.
"In the steps of the Holy Family, from Bethlehem to Upper Egypt"
A lot of small churches were erected on the different locations were the Holy family would have resided during their Journey. (Coptic scriptures mentioning at least seven sites)
And the Last remnant of "The Virgin's Tree", a Tree that, as we're told, provided shelter to The Virgin Mary herself. One last branch still remain with us today, under the good care of the local population, as a Reminder.
The following claim :
"Semit and Kemet people were One and the Same..." proved to be, not only of the most Simplistic judgement, but to showcase Utter Naivety in regards of the Significant Amount of Syncretism, from prior Civilizations, that took place In the Age of Antiquity.
That we like it or not, sharing the same Ancestral Lineage is the History of Mankind.
In the context of Ancient Egypt, it's almost Poetic that Cats are one of Kemet's most sacred Animals. Genetically Lions and Cats share a common Ancestor, although they've been separated by Evolution they are still coming from the same Source.There is countless occurrence of such phenomenon in the work of Creation.
I just felt valid to encourage people, if they can, to take the time on doing some proper research in order to back their claim with facts thus avoiding any emotional bias who could affect the quality of their judgement, in the attempt of expressing themselves.
Exchange based solely on considered, constructive opinions, is the most Profitable and Natural way to digest any type of informations.
And hopefully it shall be :
"Knowledge pave the way to Love and Love in it's turn fosters understanding, and leads one along to the path of great common achievements"

No doubt original Egypt was original black people.And original man is from Africa !!! Still know that blacks also big time inslaved blacks while Arabs run the busines up & down the continent.Etjiopia had slavery till Italians came...And when you talk "white" know that we Slavic people ( word slave comes from ) had % 0 , 00 black slaves or where killing Africa....all history up till this day.Bless up Muta👑
Give tanks.
Give thanks to all my teachers dr John Henry Clark professor Ivan van sertima political activist Dick Gregory dr.

was Jesus white? the ancient Hebrews and ancient Egyptians were black or brown people.
Hebrews aren't real ppl
Anta Diop never set foot in Egypt, never study actual Egyptian archeology , just his personal theories and some pictures, no Actual science, that's why he was never credited, or recognized outside Africa, simply a BSer in saute.
Stop spreading lies. 2 lies here that I will debunk : C.A. Diop has never set foot in Egypt, BIG LIE ! In truth C. A. Diop has been to UNESCO symposium in Cairo, 1974, to debate his views with other egyptologists. 2nd BIG LIE: C.A. Diop was never credited, recognized. The1974 UNESCO symposium in Cairo was held at the request of C.A.Diop, to settle the question of the race of ancient Egyptians. He scientifically showed to the plethore of scholars who went to challenge him, that ancient Egyptian were black. Do you think eminent scholars in the field of Egyptology would come to an event summoned by Diop if he was a nobody ? The era of lies is over.
If Black people created the Alphabet, where are the books they wrote? When we find the Books, then true history will be known.
Keep searching! Or ask mutabaruki he knows everything. He also got a big glass ball he can see magical things appearing.
Books: Hatata, Book of the dead, Tarikh el Fatash, Mali manuscripts , Meroitic Stone tablets, The Teaching of Ptahotep.. you tell me when to stop.
The Bible contain more proof of that than this book, sometimes you have to stop searching whath you want to hear but what you need to know.
I was once like Mr Mutabaruka on my journey of knowledge and I almost end up in the hands of the devil.
These ancient Egyptian religions that this man is bragging about were all born in Mesapetomia, Babylon where they were worshipping gods and goddesses in this structure: father god, mother god and son god.
This religion is still practiced today under different categories such as freemason, Roman Catholic church, Islam, Hindu etc
In these Morden times people call it Illuminati
🖤💯…………..🇬🇾
🇸🇳🫡
Mummies and piramides, the proof is in the pudding mate.
Continue the great work king Muta, its a pleasure to see you featuring the great Cheikh Anta Diop , I hope in the future you would be able to present a segment of a few other champion, such as Dr Ivan Van Sertima, Dr John Henrik Clark, Dr Ben Jochannan and others, our people need to hear our true story before RUclips block these great men,
What we have here is Muta use of science to confirm his biases, he uses it with Lucy, now here, yet he rejects evolution, and wrongfully claims science says man comes from monkey. He’s wrong no science says that, religious people and young earth creationists, claims that’s what science says. Therefore he believes religion over science when he denies evolution.
He needs to revise is 3 monkey poem to make it be true and factual. Right now it’s a lie. I don’t know if he knows it’s a lie, it may just be his misinformation.
Black white pink blue does it make a difference? We're all the same. You fools keep falling for the trap and don't see the bigger picture. Fighting over nonsense and not seeing what is infront of you.
U r the fool colour does make a difference, we want to teach our children about their glorious past and history origin and ancestors. Not some white racist colonizers offspring. Telling us about Jesus God and bible.
We are not all the same
Looks like you fell for the trap and didn’t see the hidden agenda.
Sadly enough there's still something you can call white supremacy. That's what makes us not the same. Though I wish that's the way its going to be. This man is not helping.
And behind the scenes.... Asian pulling the strings more and more....
Nuff Rasta don't read. It's just herbs
Numb due cannabis addiction. But they are soooo cool. Sooooo spiritual 😂😂😂😂 exclusion it's what it's all about. We and them.
LOL
I Never knew tv should be called "I Never knew the truth". To be a Pharoah (especially the first Pharoah) in ancient Egypt, there was one most important mitigating factor: The characteristic of "blue eyes". Ancient peoples believed that "blue eyes" meant you were a "demi-God" - had the blood of Gods, and then worthiness to rule. Yeah, a bunch of BS, but nonetheless that was what early ancient Egyptians believed.
Does muta even know how to read?
Question is, read what???
I think that this person is very ignorant
Have you seen his bookshelf
Can tell seh u dunce
Mutabaruka is knowledgeable, check out for him. The library muta has in his own house is something of value than the dollar 💵
Big up man like Ivan Sertima
