The History of Hstory

History is an interesting topic of conversation,as we all have one. Most people will remember is as a collection of dates an events, in the past which has no bearing on the current events taking place in our lives.

However one of the most significant events in terms of human diaspora has been the enslavement of millions of africans, while in itself this may be lauded or criticized, one of the most insidious effects, is the continued justification, based on scientific, and social racism;the notion that those of african origin are inferior.

This debate is now centered around the origins of ancient Egypt, because as it seems to demonstrate an african origin,it will disprove the inferior hypothesis.

In an effort to provide some sort of synthesis I discovered this article by FAHIM A. KNIGHT-EL.


In throwing a different perspective on the subject it  presents an interesting move by the same forces that have been apparent over the past 400 years, in justifying mans inhumanity to man.
