Haterology 101: The Expression of Self Hate in African Americans by Khalif ‘Ras’ Williams

We people of color in America live in a society that is consumed with the idea of hate and haters. The origins of this behavior is rooted in human nature more specifically the masculine ego and has been a particular thorn in the side for the creators of Hip Hop, African Americans who by virtue of their history and survival mechanisms that became necessary for our enslaved ancestors to get ahead in a society that held them as unintelligent, subhuman chattel to be exploited to the death and domestically terrorized. Next their captors systematically murdered them with religious and governmental sanction for 300 plus years.

The African BackGround of Medical Science by Dr Charles S. Finch

It has become increasingly clear that traditional African cultures and civilizations knew and accomplished much more than has traditionally been assumed. Even after we’ve “restored” ancient Egypt – a civilization that was the fountainhead of science – to its true and natural place on African soil as an African creation, there is yet a profound reluctance to admit that Africa contributed anything of substance to world science.

Could the Kontomble be the Netchers of the Ancient Egyptians? by Asar Imhotep

In my studies of ancient mythologies, I often come across reoccurring themes across great expanses of space and time.

Education or Edited Dictation by Khalif ‘Ras’ Williams

The human mind is born knowing nothing. Anything we know has been given to us by someone else. Children learn first by indiscriminate imitation, they copy what they see and hear. No one is born knowing who God is, we have religion because it is given to us by society and our families. This includes our perceptions of right and wrong or good and evil, our likes and dislikes and much more. All of these are learned behaviors. Click Link for More:

This is a video presentation of an essay I wrote right around the time Obama was finalizing his push towards the White House at the end of his political campaign. It is called President Barack Obama: Returning to the House that WE Built. The video shows that as much as Obama is today considered an anomaly because he is the First African American to become President of the United States, the truth is that he belongs to a long line of governing and military geniuses that helped shape a lot of human history Black people who are seldom acknowledged, especially by people of African descent. Though I have many feelings about him personally as far as the quality of his presidency, versus what he promised before getting into office, this video puts him in his proper historical perspective. Big Up to my friend Joe ‘Serpico’ Augstell for the collaboration in the creation this video.
