Jah Sun Ma'at Ra
As i struggled to turn the key into the lock of something i typically have no trouble with in the freezing cold this morning I came to two realizations:
1. We, as a whole, need to be more considerate of older people. The hard time I had this morning is the hard time they have all the time
2.The cold makes us very weak. Like on some cryptonite shyt.
The Muqaddimah, an ancient arab text considered to be the first work dealing with the philosophy of history/social scienes, writes this about "black Africans"(Of which the decendants of the African Diaspora tend to be ascended from)
"Genealogists who had no knowledge of the true nature of things imagined that Negroes are the children of Ham, the son of Noah, and that they were singled out to be black as the result of Noah's curse, which produced Ham's color and the slavery God inflicted upon his descendants. It is mentioned in the Torah
that Noah cursed his son Ham. No reference is made there to blackness. The curse included no more than that Ham's descendants should be the slaves of his brothers'descendants. To attribute the blackness of the Negroes to Ham, reveals disregard of the true nature of heat and cold and of the influence they exercise upon the air(climate) and upon the creatures that come into being in it. The black color (of skin)common to the inhabitants of the first and second zones is the result of the composition of the air in which they live, and which comes about under theinfluence of the greatly increased heat in the south. The sun is at the zenith there twice a year at short intervals. In (almost) all seasons, the sun is in culmination for along time. The light of the sun, therefore, is plentiful. People there have (toundergo) a very severe summer, and their skins turn black because of the excessive heat."
.....this is an unfinished post that i'm going to post as is rather then delete and move on.
If you want to build on it ill continue the thought.....
