Throughout history Africans and people of African descent have been lied to. Lied to about their brilliance, their culture, and their preeminent place in the history of the world; then exploited, enslaved, and excluded from the gifts they gave the world. To give the world art, science, spirituality, humanity, and philosophy; and then be extricated from the benefits and beauty of its origination is criminality of the highest order. The “theft of history” is one of the initial ways to control a people, as stated by Amos N. Wilson PhD. Of Psychology in his text ‘The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness”, he also states that to help maintain a “state of deception” is to keep the status quo through the ignorance and oppression of those people. When one nullifies the history of another, one subjugates the other to the ones false history. History (i.e. his story, not my story ) has always been written by the conqueror and with that being said; usually the conquered never knew they were being warred upon until it was too late, thus the logical assumption is; they were deceived, and with that deception the lie begins. The disconnection of truth from history, the distortion and absence of culture to the ends of leveraging their resources, psychology, and personality to be controlled has been the most successful way to enslave minds to do the bidding of another. No matter how much we are lead to believe, the teaching and studying of history is not of value in this European styled American capitalist society; one should know that history, finance, power, and control are inextricably linked. Throughout history the purpose of war has always been to usurp the resources of another:(i.e. financial gain, land, political gain and man power).Once a people have been conquered, you change one’s
