How Black Lives Truly Matter

A very interesting, beautiful woman.....

Scottish philosopher David Hume: ‘I am apt to suspect the Negroes to be naturally inferior to the Whites. There scarcely ever was a civilised nation of that complexion, nor even any individual, eminent either in action or in speculation. No ingenious manufacture among them, no arts, no sciences.’

Whilst some changed slightly over time, there were still some who continued to hold these views.

In the 19th century, the German philosopher Hegel simply declared: ‘Africa is no historical part of the world.’

Later, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Regius Professor of History at Oxford University, expressed openly the racist view that Africa has no history, as recently as 1963.

The revolutionary Amilcar Cabral from Guinea-Bissau wrote "colonial force required not only military control but also an ideological conquest and this necessitated the undermining of older histories and cultures on the continent".

Africa, far from having no history, it is almost certain that human history actually began there and not just the birthplace of humanity but the cradle of early civilisations.

The continent of Africa has been inhabited by humans for thousands of years, with most of the people living in nomadic tribes, but it was also home to many great cities, primarily along the northern coast of Africa near the Mediterranean Sea, which include the Egyptian city of Thebes as well as Carthage, the home of the great warrior Hannibal.

If anyone has the desire to know Africa's history, you will discover there is much more to Africa than stale narratives of slavery and colonialism, which was/is the deliberate devaluation of precolonial history and cultures.

The difference is in abstract thinking.

Bro, I gotta vote Republican, they treatn' dem Black folks with much more respect than the Libs, yo!
They also be cool to zhem LGBT peeps.

Daz waz rly important to me - yo!
We Republikangz n' shite!

Those are the important questions that matter. Getting lgbt-ed by Blacks is what it's all about!

Is this the extent of your "philosophy", that black lives matter?

Anything else, or should I stop expecting more?

I understood Philosophy is not irrelevant to matters of everyday living.

It is at its core grounded in the here and now, not some other world, as you sometimes try to portray.

Black lives matter, All lives matter.

Aeon I will ask you this question.

Who counts as human? (to you)

Whose lives count as lives? (to you)

Black Lives Matter is a democrat-liberal-left-marxist political slogan, based on a Red Herring logical fallacy.

You're already contradicting yourself.

Here you are projecting an accusation that I don't care for human life, as-if you do??

Why do *you* believe that you care for others, beyond your "everyday living" use for them?

To me, Humanity is an Abrahamic moral-ethical abstraction used to enslave the masses of Earth into 'One' great underclass.  Everybody is "human"; because everybody is made to be slaves.  Your "God" implies this directly.  The so-called Equality implied by Humanism, is not meant to uplift anybody individually, but to enslave and dominate everybody collectively.  Basically, Humanism is a slave-ideology, a slave-dialectic.  Thus it runs line-in-line with "Black Lives Matter" political sloganeering.  It's the same thing.

How was/is BLM used recently and today?  The Marxists use negro anger and rage, against their political opponents, to make direct political gains.

By playing into this political propaganda, you expose who you are, what you believe, and your loyalty & affiliation to others (blacks).


Is your boyfriend black?  Is this why you care?  Because you feel guilt, and want to absolve yourself of your own "racism"?

In fact I have never had the pleasure of meeting a person who is black.

Your argument above is deceitful and manipulative.

I am unmoved by your easily seen through foolish argument.

Perhaps if you really thought about the statement "Black Lives Matter" it can be easily understood that what is suggested, is unmistakably true, but apparently it is not. If black lives do not matter, then they are not really considered as lives, since a life is believed to matter.

Which then translates that some lives matter more than others and this can easily be verified in the wake of killings of unarmed black men and women by police.

Reading all of the above I am yet to be convinced that stating the obvious, Black Lives Matter, is yet to be realised or ever will be.

You have not indicated otherwise—you are here political sloganeering.  You've not met a black person, yet black lives matter?  How many times will you contradict yourself?  You care about people you've never met?  You care about a group of men mugging or victimizing you?  You care about a homeless, degenerate, drug addict?

So you claim, but....prove it.  Your contradictions are adding up now.

All lives matter subjectively.
No lives matter objectively.

Ha, do I have to meet a person, to justify his or her existence? 

Quote :

What has that got to do exclusively with black people?
Yes I do care, in fact I was attacked once by a young white male, no blacks present.  
No charges filed on condition he was given psychological counsellling.

Prove it, prove it, prove it.

Get in the real world, even if I did prove it to the utmost degree you would still be in denial and why.....

because you harbor and express the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups, in particular black or Jewish people and where Aeon in fantasyland would hold the position of dominance and privilege and use his ego to aggressively tyrannise.

See, you should have started with this. It would have been more honest.

I'm not guilty of who I am or my ancestors, yet you are. Not my problem.

The biggest elephant in the room of all is that black lives have never mattered. The history of the world would be almost entirely unchanged had they never existed.

They are the slaves of yesterday, effectively silenced.

Yet one cannot deny their strength in struggles both past and present.

Africa has a rich and complex history but there is widespread ignorance of this heritage. A British historian once said "there was only the history of Europeans in Africa".

Enough said.

My heritage is from East Prussia.

Freyja wrote:

Then go live there and mate with the inhabitants? ...but you won't, because that would mean having Principles.

Are you here to convince this forum? Or are you trying to convince yourself of ideas you know are false?

You are hilarious........so steeped in who you 'wanna be' and so far removed from who you are.

This thread isn't about me; it's about you...and your shame.

Why are you ashamed of who and what you are? Is it because your mind is weak and susceptible to propaganda?

"Complex history"?!
Above the Sharan belt, not below it.
Below it all remained simple, brutal, animalistic.
Nothing "complex" about primitive hunting and killing using spears.

To the north Egypt was flooded by human immigrations back into Africa by the tribes that had immigrated out of it centuries earlier.
Without this influx of superior genetic stock there would have been on ancient-Egypt.

Freyja, true to her christian indoctrination, must contradict evolution theory.
Her Norse warrior princess facade was just that...
She doesn't believe in evolution. She believes in creation.
So, for her there is no need to justify how speciation occurs with no intermediate phenotypes, nor a need to explain how environment only affects the body but leaves the brain as god made it, untouched, 'perfect', and similar.

When you've no personal agenda to remain intellectually consistent, and you've rejected evolution theory then the rest follows - all men are created in the image of the one-god of Abraham and species were created by god to serve man...all else is blasphemy.

These girls were all murdered by immigrants and not a single member of the white male ruling class in England, Germany, Sweden, or France, has defended them. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Excerpts from The Black Roots of Egypt's Glory

The re-opening of this door to the past, however, contained some disquieting implications. The newly-translated inscriptions and documents revealed an intellectual culture that had attained a startlingly advanced level of development. The prototypes of mathematics, medicine, astronomy, metallurgy, philosophy, religion and the arts were, by degrees, coming to light among the vast ruins of this intriguing civilization.

For a people accustomed to believing for 15 centuries that all learning, all science, and all art had begun with the Greeks, the evidence of Egypt required a radical restructuring of thinking.

Cherished Greece, not the father but the child? Not the master but the pupil? Of an African race? 

It just wouldn't do.

Unfolding before the eyes of an astounded world was a material splendor quite beyond the most admiring descriptions of the ancient Greeks.

The first line of evidence in favor of an African origin of Egyptian civilization comes from the Egyptians themselves. They called their land "Kamit," i.e., "the Black Land," and their own name for themselves was "Kamiu," which translates literally as "the Blacks." Their word for the African lands to the south of them was "Khenti" -- "Khentiu" denoting the Sudanic peoples who lived there -- and this is also their word for "first, foremost, beginning, origin, chief."


and because you refer to God an excerpt from the Scriptures regarding Egypt

Additional evidence of Egypt's origins comes from the geneaology of Noah in Genesis. Noah's three sons are Ham, Shem and Japeth, the ancestors of the three main branches of humankind known to the biblical writers. Ham is indubitably the ancestor of the black race; his name comes from the Egyptian "kam" meaning "black." His sons are Misraim (Egypt), Cush (Ethiopia), Canaan (Palestine) and Phut (Punt or East Africa). Though allegorical on one level, the Old Testament writers were accurately reflecting known ethnic relationships of antiquity by placing the Egyptians in the black or African branch of humanity.

Finally, unequivocal statements on the subject come from the Greek writers of antiquity. Herodotus -- an eyewitness -- makes the most definitive statement when he compares the Egyptians, by virtue of their black skin and woolly hair, to the Colchians and Ethiopians. There are nearly a dozen other surviving references in Greek literature to the race and color of the Egyptians, from writers as diverse as Aeschylus, Aristotle and Strabo, and they unanimously confirm the remarks of Herodotus. The fact that the Egyptians were black and African was so completely self-evident to the ancient Greeks that it was a commonplace seldom worthy of special notice.

So black lives truly matter...as Greek slaves in Egypt...according to Freyja.

Wow...you're a bigot. Why are you such a Nazi, Freyja?

lmao

It was called the black land because that was the colour of the earth of the Nile valley when it was watered by the river, as opposed to the desert. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

If you have the intellectual curiousity check it out.

It's true the world is in chaos. A civilization is dying, or has died. As such many groups with legitimate or not so legitimate grudges are taking the opportunity presented to them. Maybe not quite in the way you might think.

It might be interesting to ask why this is happening though. Why is it dying? Why can't it resuscitate itself?

If you were targeted in the way that Flaherty describes by a mob for reasons of their and your race would you feel that you were answering for a crime? Would you -deserve- that?
Many think that you would. You agree with them in your own way. Is there really any crime when someone is mistreated in a way that they think that they deserve? You should think about this, if you have intellectual curiousity.

An evolutionist theory.....

and as these two species are now man's nearest allies, it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elswhere.

The Descent of Man by Charles Darwin p.154

Darwin theorizes that man descended from gorillas on the African continent and it doesn't take rocket science which ethnic group is considered as the closest relative to Apes of black African descent.

Yet facial recognition of Google's software in the West identifies from blacks with gorillas.
