African-Americans need to learn the TRUTH. The DNA proves that all humans alive today have a DNA that is 99.9% the same and that all humans come from AFRICA. Reference: Journey of MAN by Spencer Wells on www.YOUTUBE.com. These AFRICANS populated the entire globe. Please take the time to listen to at least the first 10 minutes of this information. National Geographic magazine March 2006 also have the same information and you can also find it on-line. They also need to know that this RACE sickness is a recent illness concocted to justify SLAVERY. That is why they did not want the slaves to learn to read and why today they will only teach "WESTERN Civilization." The Europeans where in the "DARK AGES" in Europe for a thousand years up to about 1500 A.D. All scientific knowledge was BANNED. This information can be found on-line and on YOUTUBE see "DARK AGES" of Europe. The Africans had to teach the Europeans to speak, read, write, take a bath and teach them to use a weapon. Written History begins about 3200 B.C. by a Pharaoh name NARMER. This information can be found on-line also. Many Europeans know this and is the reason they FEAR US. They have learned that the first 3000 years of written history is about "black" people. That is all over the GLOBE. BLACK MEN AND WOMEN RULED THE WORLD. This information can also be found on line. Remember that it was the African people who gave HUMANITY and CIVILIZATION to the world.

FUNNY THAT IT MAY HAVE ALL STARTED THERE BUT THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA ARE STILL THE LESS EVOLVED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. A LARGE PART ARE STILL USING SPEARS AND RUNNING AROUND IN LOIN CLOTHS. STILL HUNTING FOR SURVIVAL AND DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO STOP HAVING MORE KIDS WHEN YOU DONT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH FOOD FOR YOURSELF. BUT ALL OF THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE PROUD ABOUT???
