British poet and writer Anthony Anaxagorou discusses why Europe is so vehement about suppressing Black history even though Europeans benefited from African scholars and the rich history of academia on the continent.
The poet describes how European philosophers like Plato, Socrates and Herodotus were taught by Africans and how Africans indirectly and directly civilized Europe. The video showcases the academic cognitive dissonance at work.
Anaxagorou says this about the suppression of African scholarly contributions:
“If you accept that a group of people were responsible for your ascent into history or what is known as civilization, then how the hell can you justify enslaving them? That is part of the problem. You’ve enslaved, you’ve tortured, you’ve committed innumerable amounts of genocide on the same people who put you in the position you are in.”
Revisionists…Fear is the only reason.
could you please elaorate for me, the academically challenged ?
Mocho Shorter …why would you call her academically challenged just because she that fear is the reason? Of course fear is the reason. The white man fear that if the black man learn his history, he will work at getting it back. That would mean the downfall of the white man. Perhaps Jamaicans don't think that way….
Juanita V White I don't believe she meant that I was "academically challenged", but that she was. You explained "fear" well and I add that they have covered up, distorted, revised, lied, and rewritten Black history for thousands of years as they control mass media. They are fearful of Blacks rising up against them, thus the 2nd Amendment which has more to do with insurrections. Their day is coming. Maranatha!!
