| Mercer: Faking History To Make The Black Kids Feel Good |
| 2017-01-17 |
| [Daily Caller] A known quantity in the faking department is Rev. Al Sharpton. In a video that gets considerable play on TV, Sharpton informs a rapt audience that "white folks" were cave dwellers when blacks were building empires and pyramids; teaching philosophy, astrology and mathematics. "Socrates and them Greek homos" were mere copycats, aping black civilization. As revealed in "Helping The Sharpton and Obama Afrocentrism ’Fade to Black,’" this mythistory has a presence in America’s schools, tertiary and secondary. By now we know that mass media and government under both national parties routinely generate fake news to achieve political ends. That our progressive pedagogues propagandize the youth: That’s well-known and passively accepted, too. Less known is the extent to which fabricated history has been incorporated into curricula. In "Black Athena," Martin Gardiner Bernal of Cambridge, England, suggested that "Ancient Greece" had been "fabricated," and that chroniclers of "classical civilization" had concealed its "Afroasiatic roots." |

| #10 Anyways, I've met some Copts. They sure are not "Black". As far as Egyptians are concerned, they are as white as Norwegians. Arabs and Iranians, ditto. |

| #8 Strange. Whatever happened to all the African writings of the era? Or the libraries, cities, infrastructure, roads, etc.. Did the white man burn them all down? |

| #7 The last bit in the quoted part of the article uses Afroasiatic, presumably as a way for black historians to piggy-back on Egyptian and Phoenician? successes. |

| #2 Lefkowitz in Cambridge, on C-SPAN in 1996, back when such an event didn't necessarily provoke a disruptive shitshow. I probably watched this at the time, not that I remember it, possibly within hours of ogling Kellyanne Fitzpatrick doing morning viewer call-ins or whatever. |

| #1 At one point in the 1980s my boss at the time, who had grown up with the Martin Luther King, Jr. kids in Atlanta, mentioned such "facts" matter-of-factly in conversation. So this nonsense has been taught for a long time. But the teachng also conflates Egyptians with sub-Saharan Bantu -- hence the "Afroasiatic" terminology. |
