As Old as This Nation:: The Four Hundred Year Invention of Race and Racism to Garner Wealth and Supremacy

The purpose of this book is to display the evidence that African slavery, white racism and its supremacy does not defy the history of Black people and the timeline of humanity on this planet. White racism and supremacy was fashioned by the weaponization of gunpowder and projectiles invented by the Chinese. Very little innovations used to foster intellectual and technical progress by Caucasians were created by them. They have mastered the art of conquering and killing in mass, particularly against Black and Brown people.The book begins with the roots of humanity, civilization and its intellectual endeavors in Africa’s core. It was Black Africans who were respected as demigods, Messiahs, and Saviors, as well as the most effective warriors prior to the popular usage of firearms. Blacks as warriors and knights seeded Europe’s royalty, nobility, and clergy from Caucasian women, like Othello charmed Desdemona without a tragic ending. The inbreed descendants of these interracial marriages maintained a stronghold on Europe until 1848 when the white populist movement left them with symbolic titles and honors, without secular power as wards of the state.After the enslavement of Africans, race and racism was invented at the onset of this nation which began as a New World colony of the British Empire. Racism served as the rationale for catching, chaining, enslaving and transporting human chattel to Southern colonies to generate enormous commercial wealth. This model was only surpassed by the Spanish and Portuguese which flooded their New World colonies with even more African slaves. These European powers and others were in a competitive race to amass wealth, power, and hegemony over its competitors in a quest for global dominance. The Age of Reason provided the pseudoscientific rationale for the cruel and wretched debasement of Africans as dehumanized labor. An estimated fifty percent of them died from the cruel conditions and suicides via the Middle Passage to the colonies. Once they were beaten, forced to adhere to the debased religion and commands of their white masters and overseers to work in harsh conditions, families were separated and sold to the highest bidder despite resistance.Race and racism was devised to rationalize white captivity and supremacy. In the 17th century, it was done without the official use of the word “white.” White identity was introduced to the European-American colonists to ensure thorough cooperation with the “peculiar instituted” and successful effort to garner capital from this dehumanizing endeavor. This effort became a systemic tradition that is alive and well today and devalues the experiences of Black Americans. Racial oppression both micro- and macro- are alive in our nation borne from colonies built on slavery and racism. African-American slavery and racism is but four hundred years old. Formerly, the Black Moors of Africa captured millions of whites as slaves, a term used to describe Slavs held as slaves by the Romans. White slavery persisted through the Middle Ages. Black Africans occupied Europe for 700 years and traded white slaves during the Middle Ages and afterwards. Some historian theorized that masters engaging in sex with their white slaves changed the complexion of the inhabitants of North Africa. Prior to the Islamic occupation, Black Moors intermarried with white women in Europe as soldiers of the Roman Empire and their descendants. They were often given land for their service in Roman-held Europe. These black men were regarded as best soldiers of the Roman and Holy Roman Empires for more than a millennium. They saved Europe from barbarism and the worse raids of vandals. First as knights and later as nobles they ruled and spread civilization to white Europeans. Black Moors sparked the European Renaissance encouraging literacy from Kemet plagiarized by the Romans and Greeks. Up until slavery, Black Africans were adorned as the first Gods, Goddesses, Messiahs and Saviors.
