Black Matters

A nation without the knowledge of itself, is like a house without a foundation, it is doomed to fail in the purpose for which it was created. The African Diaspora produced a peculiar people. An entire nation was scattered across the four corners of the earth. Black men, women, and children were sold into slavery by the tens of millions. This was a major turning point in the history of the human race. For the first time since man began to record history, humans were engaged in the trafficking of other humans for profit. From that time forward, the world would forever be changed, and a new chapter in the human story would begin. A people stripped of their names, their religion, their culture, and their God. They were the stone that they builders rejected and despised, but as fate would have it, these same people would oneday rise to rule the world. The journey of the black slaves is a unique one. In many ways their test was a duplicate of what 'Christ' experienced during his life. As he was rejected and despised, so were they. His disciples were persecuted for his name sake, so were the descendants of the black slaves. When traveling throughout the western world and studying the condition of the black man and woman today, one would undoubtedly conclude that they suffer from a condition called, 'lack of the knowledge of self'. If only they had a thorough knowledge of their history, they would know that the entire world is forever indebted to them for the contributions made by their ancestors. They would know that they are the descendants of the original people of the earth, of the progenitors of the human race, and of the originators of civilization. How could a people err after realizing such a great legacy? As you read further, you will find some pages from my book, "The Stone The Builders Rejected", as well as some articles from other writers related to this subject. http://blacknthefuture.blogspot.com/2008/12/stone-builders-rejected.html#links
