Today, my
son, Taharqa Mathu Ater gave me a copy of the February issue of National
Geographic. On the cover is an artist rendition of a man who was probably Egypt's last
great Pharoah, Taharqa of the 25th dynasty (see
image above). Nubian King's during the 8th century B.C.E., at a time when
Kemet/Tamerri (Egypt)
found itself in a state of disrepair, were able to enter into, gain control
of and govern Egypt.
These kings reinstated the proud and rich traditions of the Egyptian’s, which
had been eroding away due a saturation of foreigners in the country.
Anyone
today in L.A.
trying to place an order at a fast food joint knows how difficult it can be
due to the increasing language and cultural divides. I use this as an example
only to show that an influx of any new population will create new problems
for the existing population and the immigrants as well. The Nubians, because
they worshiped the same "Gods" (The Egyptians called them
neters/neteru) conquered the country and all of the discord and
reestablished, decisively, governance, as well as, theological and cultural
order. These Black Kings reinstated massive building programs and restored great
prosperity to Egypt.
Some have tried to separate the Nubians and Egyptians racially something akin
to separating Greeks and Romans racially both of which hated Western
Europeans. Lead by the likes of National Geographic (they consistently portray
the Egyptians as Whites) and others, many people continue this insanity to
date!
My point is, even in view of the insanity, during the 8th century B.C.E. another
great Black Nation (Nubia/Cush) conquered, revitalized and governed Ancient
Kemet/Tamerri (Egypt) at a time when there wasn't a single Roman Emperor, the
Greeks didn't know they were Greek (classical Greece starts around 600
B.C.E.) and all Western Europeans were, according to both Greeks and Romans,
barbarians.
So, why not a Black President? Maybe it's time for Blacks to lead again!
