Real Black Heroes

This month is “Black History Month” in the UK, and as I feared, it’s become a chance for the Afro-centric” mythologists to get plenty of air time on radio and TV, in which to spout arrant nonsense as “historical fact”.

This morning a man who “intervenes in schools to promote black historical awareness” said on BBC Radio 5 that “I ask kids to name one thing that Black Africa has given to world civilisation and I get nothing” …. “Then I tell them that it’s 'undisputed fact' that ‘Africans’ taught the Greeks everything they knew”. He then went onto other areas of dubious fact that Afro-centric’s use to make themselves feel good. The problems with this is that:

• It’s largely rubbish, and any professor of ancient history would tell you this if they weren’t so scared of being deemed “racists” or “white imperialist”.
• The “Africans” in this case were Egyptians, not Black Africans.
• The speaker kept swapping between ‘Black’ and ‘African’, after a while it was apparent that he was nearly always talking about Egypt, and not Black Africa when he was talking about the past.
• There was no challenge to this nonsense from the presenter, nor was there any counter view from a proper historian. The guy spouting off was some sort of “teacher in Afro studies” and appeared to be basing much of what he said on the book “Black Athena” by Martin Bernal.
• Most frightening of all was that he is visiting our schools and teaching “Myth” and “wishful thinking” as fact. If we taught that “King Arthur” was real and that the story proved something, it would be about the same.

As I posted on http://nopcthoughtshere.blogspot.com/2007/03/revisionist-history.html this black revisionist history is gaining ground because no one dares point out that it fits no facts, and has been developed in the US where it’s allowed to go unchallenged because everyone fears to say anything to refute the nonsense for fear of being sacked.

GW Carver ... Celebrated in a stamp

The worst of it is that there are Real Black Heroes who could be promoted without trying to “steal from the European culture”. Here’s a list of people and empires that could be promoted in Black History Month without having to take credit for anyone else’s culture.

1. The Queen of Sheba (circa 700 BC) – she worshipped the Sun but was also a believer in one god and had a child by Solomon (Old testament). She ruled over “Punt” (or Melkat Sabaa as the Muslims call it in the Quran ‘Sura 27’) which covered parts of the modern Yemen and Ethiopia when incense was the most precious thing on Earth.
2. Mary Seacole (1805-1881) – a Victorian heroine of nursing in the Crimea and whose funeral was a time of national mourning attended by thousands.
3. Benin Empire or Edo Empire (1470-1897) which ruled a glittering empire in West Africa for centuries.
4. Great Zimbabwe – A southern African Empire founded around 1000AD. The history of this empire is only now being uncovered.
5. The Kush or Nubian Kingdom – circa 1100 BC – 300 AD (?) Which for periods of time controlled upper Egypt and had Black Pharaohs (sometimes it was in turn controlled by Egypt). Mostly they never controlled lower Egypt, so in effect there were two Pharaohs at the same time for a hundred years, but under King Piye they briefly (752 – 695 BC) controlled all Egypt. Eventually they were driven out of Egypt but the Romans had diplomatic relations (Pliny the Elder,) with Kush (now called Meroe) under Emperor Nero.
6. Lewis Howard Latimer - In 1881, he supervised installation of electric light in New York, Philadelphia, Montreal, and London. Latimer was the original draftsman for Thomas Edison. He had many interests. He was a draftsman, engineer, author, poet, musician, and, at the same time, a devoted family man and philanthropist.
7. Granville T. Woods – the “Black Edison” invented more than a dozen devices to improve electric railway cars and many more for controlling the flow of electricity. His most noted invention was systems for letting the engineer of a train know how close his train was to others.
8. Dr. Meridith Groudine - built a multi-million dollar corporation that is based on his ideas in the field of electrogasdynamics (EGD). Using the principles of EGD, Gourdine successfully converted natural gas to electricity for everyday use. Applications of EGD include refrigeration, desalination of sea water, and reducing the pollutants in smoke. He holds more than 40 patents for various inventions. In 1964, he served on the President’s Panel on Energy.
9. George Washington Carver - Born into slavery, freed as a child, curious throughout life, Carver profoundly affected the lives of people throughout the nation. He successfully shifted Southern farming away from risky cotton, which depletes soil of its nutrients, to nitrate-producing crops such as peanuts, peas, sweet potatoes, pecans, and soybeans. Farmers began rotating crops of cotton one year with peanuts the next. Other Carver innovations include synthetic marble from sawdust, plastics from wood shavings, and writing paper from wisteria vines.
10. Madame Walker - revolutionized the hair care and cosmetics industry early in the 20th century and became a Multi Millionairess.
11. Finally, although this list is not exhaustive, Elijah McCoy – “The real McCoy” - He earned more than 50 patents. The most famous was for a metal or glass cup that fed oil to bearings through a small bore tube. Machinists and engineers who wanted genuine McCoy lubricators may well have originated the term, "the real McCoy."

Mary Seacole - Heroine To All Races.

I found these real people and large "Black" kingdoms, with only five minutes searching. So why do our educationalists find it so hard to run a course that is not revisionist claptrap, and that praises real Black achievements?

I can only assume, that once again it's because the PC fascism that appears to have infected the western culture, means that only Black "educators" can put forward an agenda for students, and this means that we end up with "Black Socrates, or Egypt was a black state" etc etc because there is a hidden "agenda" to this nonsense, rather than praising real black role models, most of whom would likely have nothing to do with that "agenda" if they were around to be asked.
