Miseducation

You know, I'm really tired of all the lies and b.s. that we see on the TV, in the news, in books, etc.

I'm tired of the gross misrepresentations of African history.

I was in Egypt this past summer, and I visited the Cairo Museum.

I saw for myself the DARK SKIN, KINKY HAIR, AND BROAD NOSES of some the Egyptians.

I saw for myself the Black faces displayed in Egyptian military art- representations of those to the south with whom the Egyptians battled at the time of King Tutankhamun.

I saw for myself how the Egyptians engaged in commerce with people from the Kingdom of Punt- which is present day SOMALIA.

Ancient Egypt was a vast civilization that spanned THOUSANDS of years. The Washington Monument is a big obelisk, which was used to honor kings and queens in Ancient Egypt.

And the "Egyptians" called it Misr (MISS-rr). The word "Egypt" is derived from Greek. Don't get it twisted.

Timbuktu was represented as a "dusty town in the 1820's" on Jeopardy the other day- Timbuktu, in present day Mali, was an international center of learning during the middle ages.

The African continent has had urban centers of international trade for thousands and thousands of years.

STOP THE MISEDUCATION!!!
