Know Thyself
Black is an adjective: which is a descriptive word, and not a noun according to proper grammatical rules. A
noun is a person, place, or thing; therefore a person cannot "be" black. Black is defined as gloomy;
pessimistic; dismal (a black future); sullen or hostile (black words); harmful; evil; wicked (a black
heart); indicating censure or disgrace (a black mark on a persons record); marked by disaster or
misfortune (black areas of drought); African-American; to lose consciousness or memory temporarily.
Black according to science means death. Black is also a color, and colored means anything that has been
painted, stained, varnished, or dyed; therefore a person cannot be black. Black and colored have all been
used to name the olive hued person or their descendants. Colored, now somewhat old fashioned, is often
offensive. However it is still used, such as in the title of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People. In the late 1950’s black began to replace Negro and is still widely used and accepted.
Negro is a name given to a river in West Africa by Moors because it contains black water (the Negro river is
located in what is today called Brazil in South America). The first use of "negro" to describe a human can be
traced back to 1441, when Portuguese kidnappers operating below the Senegal River used the term "negro"
to designate their captives. Slaves were fallen under the primary designations of black and negro, which
are references to persons legally transformed into "property." The official utilization of legal terminology
played a significant role in the oppression of Moors in America. Official nomenclature illustrated a person's
legal and social status in the U.S.A.
We truly have to come to grasp that African American is not a nationality. African American is a misnomer for
the Moors of America. If you observe the order of the United Nations, you will see no African representative or
nationality. You may see Uganda; Morocco; Egypt; Sudan, Algeria etc. Africa is composed of many nations. If
you were to meet a person from the Sudan, he will not accept the misnomer African American, because he is
conscious of the fact that he is Sudanese American. If you were to meet a person from Egypt he would never
accept the misnomer African American even though Egypt is in Africa. African American, black, colored, and
Negro are all manufactured nomenclatures for the people (so-called blacks) who were stripped of their
nationality in 1774. The true nationality of the socalled black person of America is Moorish American. The
Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by U.N. states, "…every person has a right to a nationality; no one
shall be arbitrarily deprived of his or her nationality." The covenant of the League of Nations (predecessor to
the United Nations) stated that, "…historically, revocation or denial of legal nationality had often been a
tactical preliminary to deprivation of rights."
KNOW THYSELF
If you do not know yourself then you leave the authority to someone else to identify you, and
through time you will be accustomed to that label. When you allow someone else to name you, you
have essentially given him or her the power to define you!
