  1. No, laughing is much better than getting angry and shutting down. The mongolians were on a rampage trying to take over the entire world. I don't think skin color was a motivation, but if there is a valid source (i.e. not Dr, Umar) that states this I would be happy to read it. Genghis khan raped so many people that 1 out of 200 people on Earth today are a direct descendant,
  2. Join Team Callaloo as they premiere their 3rd book in the Callaloo series, "Callaloo: The Trickster and the Magic Quilt" by Marjuan Canady and Illustrated by Nabeeh Bilal. The premiere will take place at Sankofa Video & Books, and will feature a red carpet book signing and performance! About the book: In search of a long lost patch from her grandmother's quilt, Zoe and her friend Winston travel to the Gullah Sea Islands where they meet the slick-talking Bruh Rabbit, who tricks them into handing over their quilt and vanishes to the magical island of Sankofaland. With time running out, Zoe and Winston enlist the help of some new friends to catch the trickster and find the missing patch before it's too late. Appropriate for Ages 3-7. This book features a foreword by Paula Whaley (Visual Artist and Sister of James Baldwin).
  3. I actually did see one post about the suppression of Black history in Europe, but I'll have to make time to read it. Pioneer, it looks like stuff you'd be interested in.
  4. Chevdove Lol........I was joking.
  5. lol. I hope it's not taken wrong to laugh but, I don't agree with all that Dr. Umar stands for either. Some of what he says fits into the exact description you give to the point, it made me laugh. On the surface, he offers comfort food, and sometimes comfort food can be bad for us. But on a deeper, more histoical level, do I see this as being a reality. But let's not only look at the UK now, but on a global level. Do you know about the history of Genghis Khan? I am just learning about this and applying it to my other research. Genghis Khans grandsons come from a Keraite mother [ie. KARAITE, meaning Black Israelite]. HIs four grandsons leveled the Keraite empire and the Islamic power and political structure. It was a full blown genocidal attempt on the Black men. The Mongol force swept west all the way to Palestine and then turned to Egypt, but they were stopped by a force much like them. So yes, I do believe that this bi-racial woman was a planned event due to a global issue on a large scale and not just to be divisive on a gender basis. The ancient Persian empire do the same. The marriage to a Black woman became a positive aspect though, in this case. The Persians supported the cultures of many and they did not wish to destroy others in the quest to be the head. It is not the same in other governments though. But political and arranged marriages should not be taken for peace or just for love. In my opinion.
