A skilled blacksmith can tell if steel was smelted properly. That's how European blacksmiths could tell that African steel was and is inferior.

worldgonemad says:

His claims of African steel making are fallacious. Japan created far greater amounts and quality of steel than Africa has ever created. Idiot.

Whitney Connolly says:

Knowledge for knowledge sake is good.
Credit where credit is due.
We learn.
We all grow.
Always wish this comprehension of history had been taught in our schools.
Or available in libraries and bookstores.
The interjection of "racism" >a word created by Leon Trotsky<
To apply to Anyone Not Wanting to Tow the Communist Party Line:
This is a Marketing Technique to Affect the Pure Absorbing of Available Learning.
Become Aware of Everything you can, hopefully, free of Political and Ethnic Ideologies.
The "Victim Card" is a product of that.
We have all been "Victims" throughout history.
Hate didn't cure it.
Learning the truth is a Blessing on its own.

those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority.”  
Gerald Massey, Author of “Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World…”

                                    “There are a people, now forgotten, discovered, while others were yet barbarians, the elements  of the arts and the sciences. A race of men, now rejected from society for their stable skin and frizzled hair, founded on the study of the laws of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe.” 
                                   Count Volney in “ The Ruins of Empires.”

          “Powerful people never educate you in how to take their power away from them, and their schools are not going to give you the kind of education you need. You have to make it, or take it….Africa is where you are. You start with your community and with yourself and then you will begin to see and understand revolutionary change.”  
Dr. John Henrik Clarke. in  “ Christopher Columbus and the African Holocaust: 
Slavery and the Rise of European Capitalism.” 
 
           “…el honor de cada generación humana exige que ella se conquiste, por la perseverante actividad de su pensamiento, por el esfuerzo propio, su fé  en determinada manifestación del ideal y su puesto en la evolución de las ideas…
         …..Al conquistar los vuestros, debéis empezar por reconocer un primer objeto de fe en vosotros mismos. La juventud que vivís es una fuerza de cuya aplicación sois los obreros y un tesoro de cuya inversión sois responsables. Amad ese tesoro y esa fuerza; haced que el altivo sentimiento de su posesión permanezca ardiente y eficaz en vosotros. Yo os digo con Renán: «La juventud es el descubrimiento de un horizonte inmenso, que es la Vida».” 
José E. Rodó in “Ariel.”

Afro-centrism is an invention and a figment of the imagination of a very insecure race of people, period.

"Dat's right childrens, we used to be Egyptians and shit. We invented metal workings and made big ships that sailed around de world spreadin' our tichnologie. We used the power of our minds to move the stones and build the pyramids. And we even used to fly. I ain't bullshittin yawz!
"Well, what the fuck happened, mammy? Why we be livin' in a tin shack , and you out hoo-eing all day?
"Cuz them muthafuckin whiteys came and oppressed us, and took away our special powers and minds. Now git yo black asses to bed!!"

If he was "highly respected" there would be no need to preface him as such (cross-reference to the other black-supremacist videos where that unknown non-entity is introduced as such)…………..

veoma Maples says:

very good information that must be study and worked out , our people must truly come together we have strayed away so much from our root's and our minds here in America have been trained and we are brain washed into believing that there is no way of change for our people no way of standing on our own too feet , and bringing about resources for ourselves, so that we don't have to buy or purchase anything from the straight haired race bringing about our own schools stores neighbor hoods teaching our children how to stand up strong and to be a race of one as before and to not forget the holy one God we all need God in our lives too steer us in the right direction our course is off on alot of things , the straight haired race in America has put liquor store on every corner and drugs in the streets , for our children, which is a destroyer of our people as well they are building more prison to house our men and women , if there was away too wake up our people, they must not get caught up any more from working the none paying jobs ,going too the none educating school systems for our children and the colleges were you study then finish and return home to a under paying job, poverty is everywhere for our people there is a lot that needs to be addressed here in America for our people there has to be away to reach our race because we are so lost the white man has put a stain on our people that will take time to remove,

slipryeel says:

I think some of the knowledge is not 1500 years old but more like 15000 years old and could be much older, the forgotten knowledge of Africa and the Americas before the European crushed and destroyed anything they couldn't understand was and still is a disgrace, we must find the ancient teachings and use all knowledge for good.

plezful says:

We as Afrikans were FIRST in everything. This is another reason whitie try each and every day to suppress and stress U and I. They know once we are out of the box were are out of the box we're on. At my age of 64 I'm impowered to learn the knowledge, fifty years ago it would have meant the world to me. My eight year old granddaughter is learning very well. THE ANCESTORS LIVE we never die except when we through religion and ignorance kill them by not recognize them. Teach the little one early. Thank you DR IVAN VAN SERTIMA.
