The white Arabs indeed did some bad things to Africans including starting the slave trade to Europe. They also traded white slaves too. I bet you didnt know about that. However, white Arabs did not try to take out Blacks mentally. Their slavery was nothing in comparison of the chattel slavery that made the US a world power all while committing the most despicable, animal like crimes against humanity one can imagine. Islam was not responsible for slavery. We do know that Christianity was used to justify slavery by whites here in the US.What does the ugly duckling turn into? A Black swan or a white one? Thats just a subtle example of the socialization I was talking about. I barely recall reading Dickens but I know he was a racist. Same with Jack London. Why would I consider their works great? I do beleive their is a conspiracy to poison the mind of people against dark skin. The very word "dark" or "black" seems to conjure up negative connotations. I remember as a kid looking up the word Black and comparing it to the definition of white. It was downright obvious thats what was going on. Since then the dictionaries have changed the definition of Black but not white.If you are a white person you have that luxury. The vast majority of books you will pick up will paint white people as great. As a Black person I have to make sure I look at things in context. White authors understandably write about white stories. White historians have lied so much about history trying to promote white superiority that they have lost all credibility except for the few that actually tell the truth. Context is everything. Thats why to this day little Black girls prefer white dolls. They get socialized from watching the constant stream of messages telling them white is right.I grew up in a small town-----the library was far away----
had to get there by bus------which required a fare. -----
there were essentially no books at home-----once I got thru
a tattered volume of the poems of shelly. ----I read everything
that I could get my hands on.............it is difficult for me to understand anyone who is so PICKY about what he reads. I was very lucky------my parents never interfered with my reading materials. I read the book "LOLITA" at about
age ten-----because it landed near me. I had no idea why
that book bothered anyone. Because of my eclectic and unrestrained reading-------I used to score OUT OF RANGE---
on "general information" tests
There ya go showing your racism and lack of proper education again. This is the kind of crap they feed the ignorant and vulnerable at these Nation of Islam gatherings where evil white people are blamed for all the misery and problems in the world.
I don't know where this "reading material that depicts white people as terrific" is. Hans Christian Andersen wrote
"the ugly duckling"------that was not even a person. I used to like Charles Dickens----more than half the people he depicts are damned bastards I never got the impression that
MADAAM DEFARGE was a black lady. There were lots of books around in the 60s which had articles in which some very manipulative people INSISTED that there is an American white conspiracy to poison the minds of children
against dark skin. ----I did not know that the conspiracy extended to Denmark
The word black in Arabic "Abd" literally means slave. For example Abdullah means slave to Allah. What Arabs did to black Africans is exponentially worse than what whites did. Black Africans are being killed by African Arab Muslims because of their color and religion. But you racist blacks never complain about what Islam has done. I wonder why.
