Black intellectual discussion is intimidating to many. Education is a beautiful self improvement. Civilization started in Africa 🌍.

@@gerrysharpe1958 Caucasians in North Africa had an early civilization, but the earliest civilizations were in the Middle East. That's why the Middle East is called the cradle of civilization. Africa isn't the cradle of civilization. it's just where we left a hundred thousand years ago and backtracked into.

@@gerrysharpe1958 I have no problems with African Americans having a genuine intellectual discussion, but that's not what that guy is doing. He's talking nonsense about "Black Christ" and "the enslaved Africa Americans were all kings and queens" and such. It's really sad.

@Gerry Sharpe Love to the African American community but don't appropriate my culture. It's as offensive to jews when you claim our kings and prophets were Black just the same way that it is to Egyptians and Greeks when African Americans claim cleopatra was of ethnic sub-Saharan ancestry. If you didn't have sticky fingers, nobody would be bothered by you. It's only when you commit a smash-and-grab on my culture that I begin to get a little frustrated. It's nothing personal.
