If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Ankh Cross Connection | African Symbols

If I'm afraid of this:

Then I should be afraid of this:

Because of this (1):

And this (2):

But I should not be afraid of facts

"Back to at least 400,000 B.C. [long before Adam, Eve and JC] artifacts have been found. The most ancient of these artifacts, one of the most important in Egypt, is called the "Ankh," which the Christians adopted..." (From, The Nile Valley Civilization and the Spread of African Culture)

The cross is thought by many Christians to be a unique emblem of their faith. The fact is that this cross is of ancient Ethiopian origin. The Christian cross is made in the exact image of the Ethiopian tau. (Paraphrased from, Ethiopia and the Origin of Civilization)

Summary

Followers of some bibles love the symbol of the cross but consider the ankh to be evil, pagan, primitive and African yet both symbols are written in stone on the walls of ancient buildings in Africa's Nile Valley. Both the ankh and the cross were taken from Africa. Both the ankh and the cross are still ubiquitous.

This is another reason why Africa is more fundamental than bibles. Africa, African civilizations and African contributions to those bibles, came thousands of years before any bible.

Why is this important to us? Why is it important today?

If we expect to succeed to our highest level of capacity, Africa must be one of the fundamentals used to get the most out of effort. The source is the purest and most powerful source. To be sure we're drinking unpolluted waters, we must go back ahead of those who came after us and are dirtying history with lies.

We must turn to ancient Africa and her wisdoms. Why? Look at it this way. If Africa's teachings were not good and powerful, the other civilizations would not have built their civilizations based on African civilization. They would not have stolen all of Africa's ideas. We Africans everywhere must recognize the treasure of Africa within us. As we connect more and more of our individual power with Africa's collective powers, we approach escape velocity from wayward societies and closer to our natural selves.
