Dedicated
To Grandfather, Theodore Roosevelt Spikes, who for
nearly three decades before his passing, encouraged me to
achieve honor and excellence using the pen to articulate ones
dreams and visions. He was a Secretary to the Prince Hall
Masons for 35 years scripting their secrets like the priest of
ancient Egypt. My grandfather took great pride in my
academic accomplishments and helped me find the funding
needed to realize these achievements. He helped me to
develop the paraphrasing writing style that is a dominate tool
in over twenty of my books some sixty plus years later.
To Grandma, Bertha Spikes, who provided moral and

spiritual support, as well as the best tasting meals essential
to my ascendency through the wonder years and early
adulthood. She partnered with my grandfather to keep me on
the straight and narrow using tender love and care.
To Mom, Mary Estelle Jimerson, who predicted for five

years before her passing that my writings would surpass 30
years of teachings as a value to society. She was an Eastern
Star and an enthusiastic and engaged reader.
To Dad, Rufus O. Jimerson, Sr., who experienced a close

encounter with two aliens in a dream while being treated as
an in-house patient at the Veterans Medical Center, West
Palm Beach, Florida.
To my Sisters, Cynthia and Joyce, who have aroused from

being “Star Children” to become “Renaissance Queens.”
Cynthia has given the most to “Star Children” and the future
of humanity as a committed educator and foster parent.
To My Granddaughter, Leila Jimerson, may you be

prepared to lead in the footsteps of your father, grandfather,
6
the change agents of the Spikes-Jimerson family, and

modern Imhoteps.
To My Grandson, Malcolm Jamal Jimerson, may you walk

in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, his disciples and your
grandfather.

Preface
The purpose of this book is to answer the following

questions by presenting answers based on primary sources
and interpretation by scholars, as well as logical deductions
drawn from relevant research:
1. Did Jesus Christ ever exist?
2. Did the Roman Emperor Constantine and the Church
of Rome transform Serapis Christus into Jesus
Christ?
3. Did the Council of Nicea vote Christ as God?
4. Did the Council of Nicea decided on the number of
books that should be in the New Testament?
5. Is there evidence that Jesus Christ had a wife,
children and bloodline that can be traced into the
French royalty?
6. Why did the Vatican destroy tens of thousands of
early Judeo-Christian scrolls of the Old and New
Testament?
7. Are God’s chosen people Indo-European as
portrayed in the West or African as the blacks of the
Sub-Sahara and Africans in Diaspora (African-
Americans)?
8. Has white ethnocentrism and nationalism transform
the image, purpose, message, and value of
Christianity? If so, is this transformation a
contradiction?
9. What is the lasting legacy of the Council of Nicea
and its impact on Christianity?
The book examines the interpretations of the Dead Sea

Scrolls and Nag Hammadi library by Abdul Osman, the
renowned Egyptian scholar/researcher. He has written Out
of Egypt, The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt, Moses and
Akhenaten, Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs, and
Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion. The Dead Sea
8
Scrolls and Nag Hammadi library was discovered shortly

after the end of World War II. The library was first published
in 1977, it includes unpublished gospels of the New
Testament. The Dead Sea Scrolls reveal the Jewish/Christian
sect based on historical Jesus hundreds of years before the
Roman Church’s acknowledgement of the birth of Jesus
Christ under the domain of the Roman empire.
The Egypt of ancient times was known as “the land of
the blacks” or Kemet for its people rather than the rich soil
along the banks of the Nile as interpreted by Eurocentric
pundits who see North and Northeast Africa as an extension
of Europe. The evidence drawn from the unblemished
remains and artifacts of pharaohs demonstrate that the
people of Kemet are the ancestors of the blacks of Sub-
Saharan Africa and Africans in Diaspora (African-
Americans). Dynastic Kemet reigned over all civilization for
thousands of years. It was the creator of all modern religions.
Constant Indo-European and Asiatic invasions, along with
internal strife and Nubian rebellions, led to hegemony by
outsiders that have declined since the end of World War II
and absolute control over colonial possessions. The present
Arabic population that dominates North and Northeast
Africa (today’s Middle East) are Indo-European invaders
that have held these lands since the 8th century. This
population is more aligned with the Indo-European West
than the non-Moslem population in their midst and south of
the Sahara. They readily sold these non-believers into
slavery until it was prohibited by Western nations.
The book explores how Eurocentrism denies the truth
about Black Africa’s role in ancient and world history, as
well as the development of modern Christianity. It examines
the deplorable effects on the psyche of Africans in Diaspora
and intra-racial victimization from street crime to national
politics. The book also describes how Christianity have
become anti-Christian and serve the interest of evil, envy,
9
narcissism, intolerance and greed by disconnecting itself

from the African authors of the gospel and their message.

Chapter 1
Did the Council of Nicea Create Jesus Christ and
Christianity?
The Da Vinci Conspiracy, Cult of Serapis

Christus Becomes Christianity
Pseudo-researchers have posted cynical theories on
various web sites derived from interpretations of the Da
Vinci Code. These theories claimed or suggested that the
Council of Nicea created “Jesus Christ.” Theorist believe
that historical evidence proves that the council created by
Constantine manufactured the divinity of “Rabbi Jesus of
Nazareth” or elevated “Serapis Christus” to the religion of
the empire. Serapis Christus was created by Ptolemy I (367
B.C. – 283 B.C.) so that the Egypt he ruled as the most
trusted general of Alexander the Great would worship him
as divine like previous pharaohs. Ptolemy forced the priest
of Memphis to ordain him as Pharaoh and Bishop of Serapis
in Alexandria by killing his inhabits until the priests
conceded to his demand (Stanbaugh, 1972). The notion that
Roman Emperor Constantine supposedly created that Jesus
Christ as an extension of the fabricated Serapis Christus
stems from a letter from Hadrian to Serviannus in 134 A. D.
as stated: “Egypt, which you commended to me dearest
Serviannus, I have found to be wholly fickle and inconsistent
… The worshippers of Serapis here are called Christians and
those who are devoted to the god Serapis called themselves
Bishops of Christ.” This questionable letter and varied
interpretations were sent to Kemetic and free thinking sites
(Stanhope, 2013; Hagan, 2012).
In the early Christian era, the cult of Serapis was popular
throughout Rome’s Indo-European part of its vast empire,
12
particularly in Rome itself. Initiation to immortality derived

through the rite of baptism by 105 B. C. It was analogous to
the Christian baptism. The cult of Serapis increased in
popularity by the 2nd century A. D. Serapis and Christ existed
side-by-side and were perceived as interchangeable. Some
Christians frequently worshipped Mary and Jesus. As of the
Council of Nicea, Jesus became God the Father as Horus
became Osiris the Father (Osman, 2001).
In the 4th century, over 300 years after the Romans
deposed of Queen Cleopatra VIII and seized Ptolemaic
Kingdom of Egypt, Emperor Constantine was interested in
establishing a deity and faith worshipped by all of the
empires inhabitants. A Greco-Egyptian cult and savior
endorsed by Rome would hopefully reduce conflicts
between numerous Christian sects and procure loyalty to the
empire. Pastor Hagan (2012), Osman (2001), and One World
of Nations (2015), among others, hold that the cult of Serapis
and its Savior, Serapis Christus, who appears as a Greek like
Ptolemy, was chosen as Jesus Christ. Constantine, they
argue, realized that Christians were an imposing force
against all of the empires enemies because they were more
than willing to commit their lives to uphold their faith and
an die for an empire devoted to its preservation.
Arius of Libya (256 A.D.-356 A.D.) born of African
descent was challenged the Indo-European sanctioned
interpretation of the divinity of Jesus and unifying pagan
rituals with Christian holidays. The population of North
Africa and the Northeastern African sub-continent (Middle
East; See Image 1) was populated by blacks like those of
Sub-Saharan Africa today, hundreds of years prior to the
invasion of Indo-European Arabs. Emperor Constantine, a
Greek, became the first Roman emperor to convert to
Christianity ten years after he called all bishops to the
council to Arius and other others interpretations of
Christianity. According to researcher motivated by Da Vinci
conspiracy theories, there was no mention of Jesus Christ
13
prior to the council’s meeting. In other words, the name

Jesus Christ supposedly did not exist before the council
created it in 325 A. D., and added this name to the sanctioned
scriptures (Ibid).

In 325 A. D., Roman Emperor Constantine summons

318 Christian bishops together to resolve the conflict
between Arians and Orthodox Christians. They produced a
“Nicaean creed” that was sanctified by these bishops at that
meeting. The creed is a statement of the Christian faith. In
contrast, the conspiracy theorists argue that the council
14
transformed Serapis Christus into Jesus Christ by the edict

of Emperor Constantine (See Image 2). Arius was threatened
with death if he continued to contradict the divinity of Jesus
Christ, Nicaean creed, corresponding church laws and
changes to the gospel (Ibid). Yet, Arius view became the
prevailing view of four Roman Emperors including
Constantine and its chief advocate Saint Athanasius was
exiled five times.

The Alteration and Destruction of the Gospel and Its

Truths
The Bible has a staggering 14,000 alterations from the
death of Christ through the Council of Nicea to nearly two
thousand years since the original and oldest “Sinai Bible.”
Some New Age researchers cite the 15th century when the
15
Church of Rome destroyed all knowledge of 2nd century

Jewish books that contained the true name of Jesus Christ.
Actually, Jews have not recognized the divinity of Jesus in
the reported time of his death and since. Talmud raised
questions regarding whether Jesus was Joshua of the Old
Testament who led Jews in the 14th century before the
sanctioned Christ was born. Respectively, in the cover-up
was pointed out by these researchers, Pope Alexander VI
ordered all copies of the Talmud destroyed. Under this
Pope’s orders, the Spanish Grand Inquisitor Tomas de
Torquemada destroyed 6,000 volumes of the Talmud. In
1554, Solomon Romano under the instruction of the Vatican
burnt many Hebrew scrolls. The mass destruction included
hundreds of copies of the Old Testament and many
handwritten documents. All toll, the Inquisition burnt 12,000
volumes of the Talmud (Adams, 2005).
In 1607, the Bible was translated into English and
rewritten by the order of King James. The New Age
researchers believe that the motives were sinister.
Supposedly, forty-seven to fifty-four men took two years
and nine months to produce a fraudulent account of the
divinity of Rabbi Jesus who had a Da Vinci coded wife and
bloodline extending into France’s royalty. The King James
Version that portrayed Jesus as eternal and celibate is
considered by the orthodoxy as the ‘original’ Bible and
authentic. In 255 A. D., Presbyter Albius Theodoret
reported that there were ‘more than two hundred” variant
gospel in use at that time. Prior to the Council of Nicea, there
had been violent clashes between Presbyters and Bishops
over these writings and interpretations. To bring peace to this
clash of clerics, these researchers point out, the Presbyters
were ordered to bring their manuscripts to the Council of
Nicea where they were co-opted. Constantine, according to
their accounts, sought to make Christianity a singular state
religion which was protected under the law. With the
manuscripts of Presbyters confiscated, like Arius accounts,
16
the Emperor allegedly instructed Bishop Eusebius to create

a New Testament using the corresponding stories from
Presbyters as reference source (Ibid). The reality is that
Constantine ordered fifty books for one town and within a
few years he would exile St. Athanasius (See Image 3) who
would compile the New Testament that we use today, some
four decades later. St. Athanasius, the Bishop of Alexandra,
was threatened with death if he did not flee.

Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth as the Highest Ranked Mason

Some of those New Age researchers claimed that Rabbi
Jesus of Nazareth was initiated as a 33nd degree Mason,
their highest-level, in Kemet. He allegedly took three wives
including Mary Magdalene, a Druidic Princess. The Druids
were Black Africans who built Stonehenge. Allegedly,
Rabbi Jesus was secretly educated by Essenes, Druids in
Britain, and Kemet priests in North Africa. The descendants
of these teachers now reside in Sub-Sahara Africa and
among the African-Americans (Real History, 2015). His
education in England occurred 48 years after the Christian
Church reported that he had been crucified, dead, and
resurrected. After being educated in England, this alternate
account reported that he finished his formal education in
Kemet (Ancient Egypt). The Jewish accounts of the life of
Jesus that were destroyed identified that he was married and
learned “magic” in Egypt that was interpreted as “miracle
making” in ancient Israel. The New Age researchers cite a
quote attributed to Pope Leo X (1513-1521): “How well do
we know a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has
been us (Ibid). Therefore, these researchers assert that the
Bible, Christ and Christianity is a fraud which has helped
clerics and secular rulers control masses for untold wealth.
Religion has been and is used as the greatest motive for the
mass destruction of war, conquest and hegemony.
The Mainstream Perspective
More conventional researchers view the Council of
Nicea as not determining the divinity of Jesus but assembled
to discuss the Arian view which saw Jesus as being
appointed to his divinity after suffering for the sins of
humanity. The Council of Nicea ended up taking an anti-
Arian view. They affirmed that Jesus was eternally the Son
of God and was not created or adorned by him as such. The
earlier Christian scriptures asserted that divinity of Jesus is
eternal in 1 Corinthians 8: 5-6; Philippians 2: 9-11; Hebrew
18
1: 3; Revelation 1: 1-7 and 1: 4-5; John 1: 1-18; and, Mark

14: 62-65 (Barnett, 2015).
Contrary to the Da Vinci conspiracy claims, Constantine
did not call the bishops together in Nicea to create a mythical
Greco-Roman approved Jesus, like Serapis Christus or one
from a Jewish Rabbi from Nazareth with three wives; affirm
a singular Bible; and, destroy all other versions of
Christianity. According to the mainstream historians and
theological scholars, Constantine called the council together
to achieve peace and unity among Christians who were
among the most volatile subjects who were ready to give
their lives for their religious beliefs. Bishops openly voted
214-2 to 314-2 for the eternity of Jesus and establish a creed
and church laws. The divinity of Jesus was never in question
only its everlasting eternity or divine creation upon his death.
The nearly unanimous decision confirming eternal divinity
affirmed this decision was not a close vote as critics and
conspiracy advocates claim (Ibid).
Conventional scholars argue that there are three myths
presented by critics and conspiracy theorist that are not
substantiated by surviving scriptures and other primary
documents referring to the council. First, they claim, the
evidence points out that the Council of Nicea did not invent
the deity of Jesus. The council members prior to 325 A. D.,
believed that Jesus’ divinity as God was established by John
5: 18, 14: 9, 20-28; Hebrew 1: 8; and Revelations 5: 9. The
earliest Christians also believed that Jesus was and is God
(Turner, 2015). Yet, for thousands of years prior to Jesus,
other Sons of God who denied being the Supreme Lord were
acknowledged by their followers after they had died and
supposedly resurrected from the dead to become God the
Father, himself, or his co-equal.
The second myth debunked is that the Council of Nicea
decided the number of books that should be in the New
Testament. Conventional scholars claim that the council did
not deal with which books should be part of the New
19
Testament. They also point out that the myth accrediting the
council with preparing the first Christian creed is also false.
Earlier Christian creeds are found in 1 Corinthians 15: 36-7,
Deuteromy 6: 4; Roman 1: 4, 4: 25; Timothy 3: 16; and Peter
3: 18-22 (Ibid).
Prior to the Council of Nicea in 325 A. D., Christianity
was a persecuted religion throughout the Roman Empire.
Under this circumstance, it was quite difficult to study and
articulate doctrines that were already believed. All
Christians believed that Jesus was divine whether eternally
or after he died for our sins. Arianism supported the latter
version of his divinity rebuking everlasting eternity agreed
upon by the council. The perspective held by Arians is now
held by modern day Jehovah Witnesses which hold that
Jesus was created by God from the flesh rather than being
eternally divine as orthodox Christians see it (Ibid).
Arianism prevailed in the empire when Constantine became
a Christian and when his son, Constantine II ruled. The
champion of the orthodox view, St. Athanasius, was exiled
under the threat of death if he did not obey for his job of
being the Bishop of Alexandra by both emperors and two
others (Hub Pages, 2011).
In 313 A. D., Constantine enabled Christians to openly
practice their faith. Through his Edict of Milan, Christians
could study and debate each other openly over the correct
view of Christianity and divinity of Jesus. As a result, a
volatile conflict ensued between Arians and Orthodoxy.
Constantine called bishops to Nicea to resolve this conflict
and restore peace among the growing believers (Turner,
2015).
New Agers and other nonbelievers perceive the resulting
Council of Nicea as the manufacturer of fraudulent God and
religion. They believe that Constantine created Christianity
out of stories about Serapis or Rabbi Jesus to strengthen
Rome’s hold on the empire’s widely diverse subjects with a
state-sanctioned faith they were willing to die for. But there
20
is substantial evidence that Constantine did not favor

Christianity as the common denominator for all believers in
the empire. This secular leader remained a devout pagan
worshipper for a decade after the Nicea meeting before
converting to Christianity (White, 2015). Within two years
he backed the Arians who rejected the Nicea mandates for
believers. In addition, Constantine threated the life of the
champion of the Nicaean orthodoxy, Athanasius, and exiled
him for his church duties in Alexandra. There is a serious
contradiction between what the bishops decided at the Nicea
meeting under his orders and his position within two years.
Arians waged a political campaign to overturn the Nicea
orthodoxy (Turner, 2015). In order to maintain the peace,
Constantine’s singular aim, he repudiated the decisions
made by the bishops at Nicea in 325 A. D.
The Nicaean creed, the forerunner of the Apostles creed
today, provided nothing “new” at that time as did the eternal
divinity held by orthodox Christians for over 200 years prior
to Nicea meeting. Ignatius, the great martyred bishop of
Antioch, spoke of Jesus’ eternal divinity during the 1st
century after the death of the Savior (Lightfoot & Harmer,
1984). The Nicaean view of Christianity maintains a strong
foundation because it is based on the earlier scriptures held
sacred by most Christians. Yet, the Arian view experienced
many victories over the next six decades after Nicea. In 381
A. D., the Council of Constantinople reaffirmed the Nicaean
view (White, 2015).
Arius and his followers see the divinity of Jesus as given
by the Father’s permission and power. Jesus, Arius and
Arians argued, is still the most perfect of God’s creatures
(Kelley, 1978; Davis, 1983). They insisted that Colossians
1: 15 proclaims that the Father’s divinity is greater than the
Son’s. The Nicaean Council of Bishops rejected the Arian
view and declared that the Son is the true God (Gonzalez,
1984).
21
Constantine as supreme civil leader and authority in the

empire arranged and paid the travel expenses of the bishops
attending the Council of Nicea that he called. Besides
expenses, the emperor sought to maintain civil order and
peace by getting the Church “on the same page.” There is no
evidence that he instructed the bishops on issues raised.
There is no evidence that the bible was compiled and altered
by the council and their civil mentor (McDonald & Sanders,
2002).
Da Vinci Conspiracy, the Black Dwarf, and the
Divinity of Jesus
The source of the New Age skepticism and critique
regarding whether Jesus ever existed as the Son of God
resulted from the popularity of the book and movie entitled
“Da Vinci Code.” The book which created a global
controversy was written by Dan Brown. Its core contention
is that Leonardo Da Vinci, as a member of the secret Priority
of Sion, hide evidence in his art work that Jesus Christ was
married to Mary Magdalene and sired a child (See Image 4).
The holy bloodline sired members of the French royal
family. The orthodox Catholic Church perceived this
perspective as demonically-motivated hearsay. They viewed
Mary Magdalene as a prostitute that was saved by Jesus.
Jesus was pure and practiced unabridged celibacy. Brown
suggest that clues to this alleged marriage, parenting, and
bloodline is available in the Mona Lisa and Last Supper
(Anwesha, 2013).
Some historians have “added fuel to the fire” among the
New Age nonbelievers regarding the existence of Jesus.
They have cited numerous omissions of Christian writings
and interpretations of the New Testament, as well as
inclusion of biased tests over the span of more than 1,000
years. These historians also cite the lack of physical evidence
proving that Jesus ever lived in the timeframe claimed.
Several aspects of his life did not fit into the context of the
era and reported location. In addition, these historians and
22
New Age theorists’ skepticism is aroused by marked

similarities between the life of Jesus Christ and predated
worship of Horus, Buddha, Dionysus, Glycon, Romulus,
Obysseus and Krishna. All these allegedly divine figures
transformed from being fathered and begotten by the
Supreme God into being his eternally equivalent or God
himself (Abel, 2014; Browne, 2001).

Two years after the Council of Nicea adjourned, the

Alexandrian Council elected Athanasius to become the
Bishop of Alexandra. He became one of the Church’s
leading champions against Arianism, other heresies, and
schisms within the Christian community throughout the
Roman Empire and known world. Born in Africa, he was
known as “the Black Dwarf” for his dark skin and short
statute. Athanasius was exiled five times by four Roman
emperors, including Constantine, for promoting what is now
the mainstream view of Jesus and his divinity among most
Christians today (Hub Pages, 2011). He spoke both Coptic
language used by Ethiopians and Greek spoken by most of
23
the bishops of Christendom during the 4th century. His

greatest accomplishment besides preserving the trinity was
compiling the 27 books used today in the New Testament 42
years after the Council of Nicea met (Abel, 2014).
Athanasius, called by his adversaries as the “Black
Dwarf,” believed that promulgating the church’s orthodoxy
confirming the eternal divinity of Jesus would mitigate the
damage caused by Arianism and other heresies. Athanasius’
opponents took the opposite view and convinced
Constantine, his son and two other Roman emperors to order
his exile five times, threatening imprisonment or taking his
life if he did not comply. The suffering he experienced
endeared him to his orthodox followers and after his death
he was canonized as a saint.

Chapter 2
Osman’s Perception of the Kemetic Roots of
Christianity
Judeo-Christian Beliefs as Extensions of the

Kemetic Religious Tradition
Ahmed Osman, a modern Egyptian Scholar, has written
a number of books connecting the Judeo-Christian religion
to its origins in Kemet (Ancient Black Egypt). His
international bestseller includes Jesus in the House of the
Pharaohs, Moses and Akhenaten: The Secret History of
Egypt and Out of Egypt: The Roots of Christianity. Osman
claims that King Tutankhamun (See Image 5) was actually
Jesus Christ. He also insists that the Book of Joshua in the
Old Testament is pure fiction and propaganda. Most
archaeologist, from Egypt and the West, contend that
Osman’s theories do not pose a fundamental contradiction to
their belief systems. His views have not been ruled out
(Lohr, 2015).

26
Osman worked as a journalist for many years. He

discovered a bloodline of Hebrew pharaohs running from
Yuya/Joseph to Tutankhamun/Jesus (See Image 6), fourteen
centuries before the birth of the Roman endorsed Christian
Son of God. Early Christians, Osman insists, recognized that
their faith was rooted in Kemet (Black Egypt). Before the
Council of Nicea in 325 A. D., Christian pilgrims traveled to
Kemet, which they regarded as the Holy land. Kemet was
the center of the Gnostic Gentle Christian community where
St. Paul was initiated into the Gospel. His community spread
Christianity among the Gentile nation (Ibid).

27
The name Jesus, according to Osman, comes from the

Greek translation of the name Joshua. He succeeded Moses
(Akhenaten) as leader of the Israelites. Osman claims that
Jesus Christ (Tutankhamun) was hung, not crucified, by
priest Panhesy alias Phineas. The Talmud’s that the Vatican
ordered destroyed in the 15th century A. D., included this
story. Albert Einstein also identified Moses as Akhenaten
and Joshua (Tutankhamun) as his successor (Ibid).
The Nag Hammadi gospels discovered in 1945, Osman
points out, does not mention a crucifixion under Pontius
Pilate. St. Paul’s letters also do not recognize this so-called
crucifixion under Pilate’s regime. Paul’s Gnostics assert that
Simon was killed under Pilate. Osman asserts that historical
Jesus (Tutankhamun) died on the ankh cross (See Image 7).
The Kemetic ankh cross, a symbol of life, was used by
Christians until the 4th century A. D.

28
Osman argues that Christianity is rooted in the cult of

Serapis. This cult claimed that eternal life could be achieved
through their spiritual beliefs. For longer than four thousand
years, the inhabitants of Kemet believed that mummification
was the only way to immortality. The cultist believed that by
confessing love and admiration to the cult’s deity, along with
initiation rites of baptism, immorality would be assured.
Christianity, Osman claims, is the last phase of the Kemetic
religion and evolutionary belief system (Ibid).
Unraveling the Suppression of Kemetic Roots of
Unorthodox Christianity
In Out of Egypt, Osman (1999) points out that the Dead
Sea Scrolls, discovered in 1947, provided the remains of the
Essene library. The scrolls, dated from 200 B.C., made it
clear the Essenes were followers of Jesus. The Arabic name
for Jesus is “Essa.” The Essenes and Gnostics held common
beliefs. In this book, Osman argues that Christ appeared
twice in a (1) historical form during the 14th century B. C.,
and (2) spiritual form in the 1st century of the Christian era.
When the Bible was translated into English under King
James the Joshua of the Old Testament was separated from
the Jesus of the New Testament.
Orthodox Christianity and Roman emperors following
Constantine transformed a Kemetic religion into a Greco-
Roman Western religion. Leadership of Christianity
transferred from Alexandra to Rome under Roman Emperor
Theodosius I, after the Serapeum, the cult of Serapia’s
center, and the Alexandrian library were destroyed. All
writings that did not agree with the accounts and
interpretations found and sanctioned by the Roman church
were burned. All religious teachers who disagreed with the
orthodoxy were labeled heretics and were punished. For ten
centuries after this event, the Bible was made unavailable to
non-clerics, not sponsored by the Church of Rome. The only
source for biblical teachings became the clergy directly
supervised by the Vatican (Osman, 1998).
29
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls of the Essenes and

Nag Hammadi Library overturned sixteen centuries of
censorship. The hidden history of the Kemetic origins of
Christianity have been revealed. This revelation uncovered
a conspiracy to hide the truth led by Rome. The new Kemetic
religious movement was perceived as a threat to its authority
(Ibid).
Osman (1998) finds that Solomon, David, Moses, and
Joshua (Historical Jesus) are based on Kemetic pharaonic
figures. The major tenets of Christianity: The One God, the
Trinity, the hierarchy of heaven, life after death, and the
virgin birth were originated in Kemet. Christianity was a
Kemet mystery cult until the Council of Nicea and its
following councils called by Roman emperors. The leading
decision of Jesus’ eternity as co-equal part of the Trinity
originated from Kemet among its Black African inhabitants.
The Roman version of Christianity that prevailed originated
in Judea to maintain political hegemony in the hands of
Rome.
In concurrence with the Da Vinci conspiracy, Osman
finds evidence from archaeological sources, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, the Koran, the Talmud and biblical sources that
Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. The Universal
Church of Christ (Roman Catholic Church) described Mary
Magdalene as a prostitute who was saved and transformed
by Jesus. They insist he was never married and was eternally
celibate. Osman claims that Mary who remained close to
Jesus until he died and was the first to see his resurrected
spirit was actually Ankhesenamun, a Kemet queen. She was
married to Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the 14th century before
the Roman sanctioned Christ was born. Mary, like
Ankhesenamun, was emotionally, as well as physically
attached to her husband (Osman, 1992, 2002; Image).
In the Nag Hammadi’s Gospel of Philip, Christ is
described as showing more affection and love toward Mary
Magdalene than any disciple and “kissing her often in the
30
mouth.” The rest of the disciples were offended by the

attention he gave to her. They asked him, “Why do you love
her more than all of us?” (The Last Supper Controversies,
2016). Dan Brown (2003) in his Da Vinci Code argues that
the “Last Supper” was painted to subtly reveal that the artist
knew contrary to the Church’s insistence that Jesus was not
celibate because he was married to Mary Magdalene.
Allegedly, the “Arc of Covenant” provides proof of Jesus’s
bloodline from the two son he had from Mary.
Osman finds accounts in the gospel according to John to
substantiate the marriage of Jesus to Mary Magdalene as
being one in the same as that of Ankhesenamun and
Tutankhamun 1400 years earlier in Kemet (Ibid). The
Egyptian researcher and scholar being an Arab of Indo-
European descent, Osman found it was not in his self-interest
to identify the race of these ancient figures. Unfortunately,
those with a westernized orientation would assume they
were fair-skinned and looked like them and their family
members. This perspective ignores that Sub-Saharan
Africans inhabited all of the continent and Middle East in
ancient times. Excluding blacks as inhabitants made
Christianity out of the Middle East more acceptable to
Westerners and Indo-European Arabs and Egyptians.
According to Osman, Joshua is divided into historical
and spiritual Jesus separated by almost 1400 years. Another
figure in the Christian Bible, Joseph portrayed as Joseph of
Arimathea was actually the historical Pharaoh Aye, the
great-uncle of Tutankhamun, his vizier and successor (See
Image 8). In the Christian version, Joseph of Arimathea was
a rich follower of Jesus that used his influence to convince
Pontius Pilate to release the Saviors body to him for burial.
This Joseph chose to bury Jesus in a grave set-aside for the
rich man’s burial. This story matches that of Pharaoh Aye,
nearly 14 years earlier. Aye took the assassinated body of
Tutankhamun to the foot of Mount Sinai for burial. Pharaoh
31
Horemheb would later remove and rebury the body in the

Valley of Kings.

Uncle

Joseph of Arimathea, Osman points out, like Aye,

arrived on the scene on the evening of the Christ’s death
(Jesus some 1400 years after Joshua/King Tut). Both
versions were predated 3,000-4,000 years by Horus, Kemet
and African Hegemony’s Universal Savior. There is no
concrete evidence that this event occurred during the first
century of the Christian era. There is some evidence, much
was destroyed, that the Catholic Church and Roman
32
Emperors set the dates of the life and death of Jesus with
pagan holidays (Ibid). The books of the New Testament were
compiled by Saint Athanasius (the Black Dwarf), exiled five
times by four Roman Emperors, exactly forty-two years after
the Council of Nicea adjourned. The Vatican had most of the
oldest scrolls of the Bible and Talmud destroyed.
The discovery and translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls
provided Osman and other researchers with insight into the
Essenes, the followers of Jesus, some 200 years before the
beginning of the Christian era when Jesus lived in the flesh,
was crucified and spiritually returned from the dead. The
Essenes claim that their version of Jesus occurred much
earlier. Blessed by the Messiah, the Teacher of
Righteousness, they were assigned to record his teaching and
spread the word. They were joined in this mission by Gnostic
Christian community in Egypt (Ibid). The scrolls drawn
from both Christian communities were hidden from Indo-
European secular and Vatican authorities until these western
powers were severely weaken by the Second World War or
Destruction of Western Civilization.
Tens of thousands of scrolls and other written accounts
that proved that Christianity was a Kemet religion were
clearly destroyed under the sanctions of secular western
authority since the 4th century. For more than 1,000 years,
non-clerics not directly supervised by the Church of Rome
were forbidden to read and interpret sanctioned and
unsanctioned gospel. Those that were perceived as violating
these sanctions were pursued, arrested, tortured, and
executed after being forced to confess they were wards of
the Devil, Anti-Christ or Fallen Angel. The study of the
African Mystery System, the origin of civilization and
religion, was equivalent to participating in witchcraft. These
prohibitions forced “free thinking” scientists and scholars to
33
secretly analyze the Kemet Mystery System which is the

blueprint of civilization, scientific inquiry and progress. The
African Moors and Masonic Orders passed on these secrets
to European and initiated learning and Rebirth of
Civilization referred to as the Renaissance and succeeding
Age of Enlightenment.

Chapter 3
Africa is the Actual Birthplace of Christianity
Black Africans as Inventors of Religion

Count Volney (1792) credits Sub-Saharan Ethiopians
with the invention of religion and all of its practices. Other
western scholars such as Sir Godfrey Higgins, Sir James
Fraser, Albert Churchward, Gerald Massey and Sir E. A.
Wallis Budge, among others, have found evidence to support
Volney’s acknowledgments. On the basis of what he found,
J. A. Rogers boldly proclaims: “The earliest Gods and
Messiahs on all the continents were black.” In addition, other
Africans in Diaspora scholars, like George G. M. James and
John G. Jackson concurred with Volney’s acknowledge-
ments and the evidence collected in this regard (Kush, 1983).
The First Gods (Deities) of Antiquity (Ancient Times) in
Greece, Egypt, Rome, India, Japan, Mexico and India were
indeed black or as dark skinned as Sub-Saharan Africans
today. These deities of antiquity include Zeus, Apollo,
Osiris, Isis, Buddha, Horus, Fuhi, Zaha, Quetzal-coatl and
Krishna, among others (Higgins, Frazer & Churchward,
1921; Massey 2002, 1932; Maspero, 1888; Volney, 1792;
Budge, 1994; James, 1954; Jackson, 1972).
In Greece and Rome, the homelands of Western
civilization, white masses bowed down to black deities.
Delphos and his black mother, Melainis, founded the rites of
Apollo. Blacks were worshipped as divine figures in early
Greek mythology. The names of Zeus of Greece and Krishna
of India refer to “the one” (Ibid, Robertson, 1889; Kush,
1983). Hercules, Apollo and Jupiter, among others, were
black. Throughout the Roman Empire stretching into the
British Isles, the worship of black Isis and Horus was
36
popular. The worship of the Black Madonna and Christ

succeeded the earlier worship of Isis and Horus during the
early centuries following the Messiah’s death and the spread
of Christianity (See Images 9-10; Rogers, 1980). Rome’s
goddesses Venus, Cybele, Metis and Ceres, among others
were portrayed as black divinities (Higgins, 2007, 1840).

Vierge_noire_de_Toulouse_2.jpg
The God of the Bible (Rev. 1: 14) is described as having

hair like pure wool (Rogers, 1980). The texture of the hair
common among Black Africans or Nubians were evident in
ancient portrayals of Buddha of India, Fuhi of China,
Sommonacom of the Siamese, Zaha of the Japanese and
Quetzalcoatl of the Mexicas, among other deities (Buckley,
2010; Inman, 1875). Their pepper corn hair was a sign of
divinity (Rogers, 1967). This description is also given to
Christ and Apollo (Ibid).
All religions began out of Africa (Volney, 1792). The
Ethiopians were the first to give religious thought and
inspiration to humanity (Rogers, 1980). They provided the
various religious systems that are now so highly regarded in
the West (Volney, 1792). In addition, all the great religious
38
leaders from Moses to Christ were initiates of the Black

African Mystery System (James, 2012, 1954). The holy
Catholic religion of the remotest antiquity was an Egyptian
Mystery System. The universal use of this system explains
why diverse world religions have a common nucleus of
similarity, belief in God, belief in immortality and moral
code. The mysteries of all other nations are similar to those
derived from ancient African civilizations (Kush, 1983).
Creators of Christianity
Greeks and Romans believed their Osirian religion came
from Egypt. About 100 A. D., Christianity, a Judeo-Egyptian
religion, gained popularity and mass appeal (Carter, 1985;
Kush, 1983). Moses who “was learned in all the wisdom if
the Egyptians” (Acts 7: 22) used his teachings to develop the
Judeo-Christian tradition (Ibid). According to Manetho, the
Egyptian historian, “Moses … was one of the Egyptian
priests” (Jackson, 2001). Sigmund Freud (2010, 1939)
concurs that Moses (See Image 11) must have been an
Egyptian priest of Aten or Akhenaten, himself, in his book
Moses and Monotheism.

commandments-arthello-beck-2.jpg
39
The originators of Christianity were Black Africans

(Churchward, 1924; Rogers, 1967). According to St.
Augustine, the Christian religion existed among the
Ancients from the beginning of the human race before Christ
(Kush, 1983). The mystery of the resurrection was originated
by Totemic Nilotic Negroes. It is symbolically performed by
Arunta Tribes today (Ibid). The initiations corresponding to
the origin of those mysteries of both Horus and Jesus at age
twelve and thirty (Churchward, 1924). Hypothetically, there
are 200 direct parallels between the legend accorded to Jesus
and Osiris-Horus cycle. The equivalence between the earthly
Jesus and Horus is proposed. Jesus’ life, death and
resurrection resemble that of Osiris whose legend preceded
Christ by more than 3,000 years (Massey, 2011, Osman,
1998). Both Horus and Jesus were birthed by a virgin
mother. They were both transformed into the son of God at
the age of twelve. Both were baptized at the age of 30
(Churchward, 2010; Massey, 1998).
Gerald Massey and Dr. Albert Churchward, one of his
disciples, as well as Ahmed Osman, have argued
persuasively for an Egyptian origin of Christianity (the New
Testament) and Judaism (the Old Testament) were both of
African origin. Those of the Massey school see the Christian
Bible as being traceable to the religious records of ancient
Egypt (Jackson, 1982). Some in the school today believe that
the Bible humanizes historical astronomical mythology of
Egypt instituted by the early Christian canons and confirmed
by the Council of Nicaea (Finch, 1982). Those in this school
of thought initiated by Massey’s scholarship note that both
Horus and Jesus share double birthdays and the Winter
Solstice (Christmas) and the Vernal Equinox (Ester)
(Jackson, 1982). Horus and Jesus titles are exactly alike
(Churchward, 2010; Massey 2011).
According to the Massey school of thought, African
influence on Orthodox Christianity is far more profound than
most people realize. The whole Christian Bible was derived
40
from the sacred books of Egypt, such as the Book of the

Dead, the Pyramid Text and the Book of Thoth. Followers
of Massey’s claims believe that the entire Christian Bible’s
creation legend, the Exodus from Egypt, ark and flood
allegory, Israelite history, Hebrew prophecy and poetry,
Gospel, Epistles and Revelation's imagery are transmitted
from ancient Egypt’s scrolls and papyri (Jackson, 1985;
Osman, 1998). The Egyptian empire and its religion
stretched into the heart of Africa and India. The mythos of
the second book of Genesis has been found in ancient Nubia
and Raputana in artifacts that predated its encryption in the
Hebrew and Christian bibles by many centuries (Kush, 1983;
Jackson, 1985).
Well before the destruction of African Civilization (See
Image 12), slavery and colonialism were achieved by
European imperialist, the earliest statues and iconic images
of Jesus Christ and his mother were adorned black-skinned
Africans. These early displays are found throughout Europe
into Russia in its northeast. They are held in the oldest
cathedrals where they were constructed close to the
beginning of the Christian church in the locals or within a
few hundred years of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This
evidence that Jesus was black can be found in the following
locations, among others:
 Poland where the Black Madonna of
Czestochowa is adorned
 Spain where the Queen of the Pyrenees is
housed
 Russia where the Madonna of Notre Dame of
Kazar is displayed
 France at the Cathedral of Milan
 Germany at the Cathedral of Augsburg
 Italy at the Church of San Francisco in Pisa
 Rome in the catacombs where there are
numerous statues and icons of a Black
41
Madonna worshipped by early Christian (See

Images 13-17; Rogers, 1967; James, 2012).
Thief of African Religious Traditions or Credit for It
Western theology took credit for the concept of the
Virgin and Child drawn from Egypt’s Isis and Horus. Horus,
Son of God, was the Egyptian Savior and the light of the
world. He became the model for Jesus, who had similar
qualities (Jackson, 1972). Among the global religions of
antiquity, there were fifteen saviors of miraculous birth that
preceded Jesus by many years (Karenga, 1989). Horus of the
Dogon-Egyptian tradition and Jesus shared other similarities
to one another, as follows:
 Both had two mothers, one who conceived
them (Isis and Mary);
 Both were the only child in one family and
one of five in the second;
 There was no record of their whereabouts
from age 12 to 30;
 Both were baptized at 30 (Anep and John)
and transformed into the son of the Father or
Holy Spirit represented by a bird (Ben-
Jochannan, 1970, 1978).
It appears to scholars that most of the major themes of
the Judo-Christian Bible were plagiarized from Africa-
Egyptian religious teaching inscribed on papyrus. The
Greeks clearly plagiarized Egyptian socio-religious
philosophy from the African Mystery System without
accrediting the original source. The teaching of the African
Mystery System was the unaccredited source of higher
education in the ancient world. Classes held included Greeks
and other Indo-Aryans from Europe. Distinguished Greek
alumni included Pythagoras, Thales, Democritus, Plato,
Diogenes, Timaneus, and Herodotus studies at these schools
in Egypt. Anaximander, Anximenes, Parmenides, Zeno and
Melisus studied in satellite schools in Asia Minor (James,
1976).
42
The Greek immigration to Egypt and opening of satellite

schools in the 6th century B.C. led to a Golden Age of
Learning and Knowledge in the 5th century B.C. on the
Greek mainland. A greater absorption of the Dogon-
Egyptian knowledge of its schools and libraries occurred
when Egypt was conquered by Alexander the Great in 333
B.C. The Macedonia emperor conquered the entire known
world west of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. He converted
the Egyptian Royal Library into a Greek research center and
university. The vast body of scientific and other knowledge
from documents and moral instruction was translated into
Greek (Karenga, 1989). They claimed the exclusive
copyright and credit without regards to the source.

48
Once Dogon-Egyptian knowledge and religion was

claimed by the Greeks and other westerners as their own the
source-religious beliefs were absorbed into Indo-Aryan
belief systems that would produce both Christianity and
Islam in the Middle East. The Eurocentric and xenophobic
conversion process took more than 1700 years after
Alexander’s conquest to establish itself. This conversion
emerged along the nationalism that helped to free European
nations from outside invaders such as the Moors and Huns.
A Renaissance Age followed in which the study of the
Dogon-Egyptian knowledge spread as Greek. This
knowledge was followed by a period of invention,
enterprise, civilization, and exploration comparable to
heights met during the Roman, Greek, and Egyptian
civilizations.
Falsifying of the Early Founders of the
Christian Church
The proliferation of Indo-Aryan images used to depict
biblical characters in both books and print is a distortion of
the truth. These mythological images have fostered false
impressions that imply all godly people are white and
superior because they are allegedly or implicitly closer to
God than other races. Respecting the truth and biblical
accuracy, Black Africans wrote and were all of the major
followers of God described in the scriptures. This truth
should not be “swept under the rug” just to avoid offending
overly sensitive individuals holding conventional Western
views that have emerged since ethnocentrism heightened
during the destruction of African civilization, the
Renaissance, slavery, dehumanization and devaluation of
Black Africans and their descendants.
Jesus (See Images 18-20) was born on the north-eastern
tip of the continent of Africa. The people where he lived
were primarily black skinned, except for the Roman invaders
and Greek merchants. The Christ child and his parents
escaped to Egypt when King Herod ordered the execution of
49
Israelite new born. The family was indistinguishable among

the Black Egyptians and returned when King Herod died.
The predominate Arab population of the northeastern part of
Africa did not move into the areas until 7th through 11th
centuries after Christ died and about 600 to 1,000 years after
the Bible was finished (Ramgeet, 2013).

According to biblical scholars, the Gospel of Mark is

believed to be the first gospel written about 50 A. D. About
200-300 years after his death the Acts of Mark was written
by early Christians. Mark was a disciple of Peter who was
one of Jesus’ closest apostles (See Image 21). A Cyrenian
Jew, Mark first preached the Gospel in Cyrena, modern
51
Libya, to his own people. Mark established the Coptic

Church in Egypt and Ethiopia (Isaiah 19: 21-25).
The ancient people of Cyrene, which bordered Egypt,
were Black Africans that resembled their descendants now
living in Sub-Sahara Africa. They are descendants of Put, the
third son of Ham, the ancestral father of an Ancient Africa
that today includes the continent, Middle East and much of
India, China, and Indo-China. There have been many
attempts to erase the name of Jesus Christ from the
continental African mainland. In this purge, there were many
attempts to destroy the Coptic Church founded by Mark in
the name of “Christ, the Son of the living God.” The Coptic
Church survived the persecution of Roman emperors, the
Muslim conquests and many other attacks. By surviving, the
Coptic Church won over its adversaries, prospered and grew.
They fulfilled the prophecy, “Upon this rock will I build my
church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” In
doing so, the Coptic Christian Church has lasted on the
African continent for 2,000 years (Ibid).
Color Struck
Under the racial hegemony that pervades modern Western
society, images of the identity of the Hebrews who served as
God’s messengers and authors of his Gospel turned from
black to white. Since the Reformation, Westerners could no
longer readily tolerate “bowing down” or acknowledging the
divinity of people of color whom they have since held as
captives. Obviously there were exceptions but Westerners
generally felt that their self-confidence would be
undermined if they looked up to Black Africans on the
continent or in Diaspora as the personification of knowledge
and wisdom. Therefore, a change had to be made and the
scorned in the form of biblical images and authors of the
Bible had to be purged (Real History, 2013).
Nonetheless, the truth shall prevail and scholars devoted
to this endeavor would reveal that conventional history is
based on lies and distortions to support the hegemony of the
52
ruling class. In regards to a true account of history, the

earliest authentic pictures of real Hebrews are displayed on
the Assyrian reliefs that predate Christ by more than 700
years (See Image 22). Hebrews are pictured as captors who
were forced to submit to their conquerors and decorate
Assyrian palaces. In one of the oldest relief pictures, King
Shalmaneser III subjugates Hebrews (853 B.C.). In an earlier
relief picture, Assyrian King Tiglath-pilesar III conquers a
city near the Sea of Galilee (730 B. C.) and subjugates
Hebrews. Another relief shows the King Sennacherib’s
conquest of the Judean City of Lachish (701 B. C.) and
Hebrews as his prize. All Hebrews depicted are obviously of
African descent with conspicuous Negroid features.

Chapter 4
Dynastic Kemet Establishes a Global Empire
Unifying Civilization Along the Nile Valley

King Menes from Upper Egypt the furthest Egyptian
region from the Mediterranean Sea and closest to Africa’s
interior established the 1st Dynasty by conquering Lower
Egypt and its Delta region (See Image 23). Menes' army
sailed down the Nile that flowed into the Mediterranean Sea
from Delta region the most fertile land (Beck, et al, 1999;
Edwards, 1971). He was enshrined as the 1st Pharaoh of
Egypt (See Images 24).

Image 24: First Pharaoh Enshrined
http://images.funadvice.com/photo/8a/photo-egyptian_pharaoh_menes_large.jpg
The fertile Delta of Lower Egypt that was conquered is

below sea level. It depends on rains in the African interior
where the Nile River originates for the floods that irrigate its
soil with natural fertilizers (remains of dead fish, plants, and
other sea life). The black silt spread along the banks of the
river and surrounding land enriching the topsoil. This top
57
soil would yield all the agricultural needs of a growing

population needed to develop the Egyptian civilization and
dynastic empire that stretched south through Nubia and Punt
in Africa’s interior, north into Syria, east through the Sinai,
and west to Africa’s Atlantic shores. The surplus was also
used to purchase goods and raw materials for weapons from
its colonies and neighbors in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The
wealth accumulated helped to build the largest and best-
equipped army and navy in the second millennium before the
Death of Christ and prior to the continuous steam of Indo-
Aryan invasions that would persist for 4,000 years.
Menes united country expanded into a vast empire
throughout the known world primarily under the stewardship
of Pharaoh Djoser and Chancellor Imhotep. According to
radiocarbon dating, Djoser ruled as pharaoh from 2691 to
2625 (See Image 25). He is the best-known pharaoh of the
Third Dynasty of Egypt. His leading commissioner was
Imhotep (See Image 26). He built the first pyramids and
founded medical science in the West (Ramsey, et al., 2010).

Djoser ruled Egypt for twenty-nine years (Wilkerson,

1999). During his reign, he dispatched several military
expeditions to the Sinai Peninsula to subdue the inhabitants.
Egyptians were there to mine for valuable minerals such as
turquoise and copper. The Sinai also served as a buffer to
thwart Asian raiders targeting the wealth of the dynasty in
the Nile valley.
Chancellor Imhotep (2650-2600) was the greatest mind
of antiquity. As Djoser’s highest adviser and the high priest
of the sun god Ra, Imhotep became the Administrator of the
Great Palace and dynasty’s chief builder. In that capacity as
the first architect and engineer, he designed the Pyramid of
59
Djoser with the first known use of columns. This multiple-

genius was also an astronomer, poet, sculptor, and the
physician whose ethics would be claimed by Hippocrates,
who lived more than 2,000 years after Imhotep practiced
medicine (Osler, 2004; Kemp, 2005). Imhotep is the founder
of medical treaties based on scientific thinking. His journal
of ailments mirrors some of the medical books today.
Imhotep’s medicines were based on plants, which became
the blueprint of synthetic compounds that constitute a
majority of the prescriptions today (Shehata, 2004). His
natural medicines did not have the toxic side effects and drug
interaction common in today’s profitable synthetic
prescriptions. Clearly, Imhotep’s medicines, contrary to
todays for profit products, were not as deadly as whatever
ails a patient.
Imhotep, the true father of Medicine, diagnosed and
treated more than 200 diseases. He could detect disease by
the shape, color, or condition of skin, hair, nails, tongue and
other visible parts of the body. Respectively, he treated
spinal tuberculosis, gallstones, appendicitis, gout,
rheumatoid arthritis, mastoid diseases, and dental decays and
pain. Imhotep also practiced surgery that was common
among contemporary Egyptian physicians (Rogers, 1970).
Imhotep and his contemporary colleagues were familiar
with the position and function of the stomach, lungs, and
other vital organs. The chancellor wrote that he knew of the
circulation of the blood at least four millenniums before it
was known in Europe. He along with his colleagues carried
out research at the highest level on the planet for more than
3,000 years to come. Their reputation in leading the field of
medicine was known beyond the imperial dynasty to Europe
and elsewhere. Homer concurs in the Odyssey that “In
Egypt; the men are more skilled in medicine than anywhere
else Greeks sent their young men to Egypt to train under the
most skilled physicians in the world. Once trained, these

young western physicians returned to their Greek homelands

or practiced elsewhere on the European continent (Ibid).
Greeks also crossed the Mediterranean to learn the Arts
and Sciences, as well as other facets of civilization exposed
by the Dogon-Egyptian Mystery System. As a result, the
African legacy became the foundation and cornerstone of the
Greco-Roman civilization. Yet, the West accredited
Hippocrates for Imhotep’s accomplishments in medicine
and recognized the Greek as the “Father of Medicine” (Ibid).
The expansion of the Egyptian empire to Nubia was
formally established during the Twelfth Dynasty under
Senusret I. This Pharaoh ruled from 1971 B.C. to 1926 B.C.
Senusret I expanded Egypt’s borders south into Africa’s
interior and also built a number of major temples in Ancient
Egypt (Grajetzki, 2006; Clayton, 1994).
Under Pharaoh Hatshepsut, who was one of the most
successful and longest reigning female Egyptian rulers, a
trade network was reestablished after Indo-Aryan Hyksos
invasion and occupation prior to her reign. She was the first
pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty (See Image 27).
Hatshepsut reigned solely reigned for twenty-two years then
shared regency with Thumose III for 7 to 21 years. The trade
and commerce network she reestablished helped to recover
most of the wealth lost from the previous Indo-Aryan
invasion. She preferred peace but lead a military campaign
into Nubia to force their largest colony to restart tributes
suspended when Hyksos occupied the homeland. Hatshepsut
did the same to restart tributes in Levant and Syria.
Domestically, she was one of the most prolific builders in
ancient Egypt, commissioning projects that were grander
and more numerous than those of any of her Middle
Kingdom predecessors (Tyldesley, 2001, 1998).
Hatshepsut gained the reputation of being the ablest
female ruler of antiquity. Her accomplishments challenged
the supremacy of 3,000 years of Egyptian masculine
tradition. She sent expeditions to distant lands, Like Punt in
61
Africa’s interior, for produce not grown or mined in Egypt.

Punt was the traditional home of the earliest Egyptians and
located far south in East Africa. The Punt expedition yielded
gold, myrrh, incense, incense-bearing trees, African animals
and other products of value from that region (Wells, 1969;
Rogers, 1970).

Thutmose III (1479 B.C. to 1425 B.C.) would lead the

greatest expansion of the Egyptian empire (See Image 28).
He was known as the greatest conqueror in antiquity 1,000
years prior to Alexander of Macedonia’s exploits. Thutmose
III was the sixth Pharaoh of the Eighteen Dynasty. He
distinguished himself by leading military campaigns that
transformed Egypt into an international superpower. The
empire, under Thutmose III, stretched northward into Syria.
The new territories would be sources for soldiers, slaves, raw
materials, and tradable goods needed to expand the wealth,
influence, and power of the empire. With these tributes, they
had more to trade and the army and navy to protect the trade
route for further commercial wealth. Respectively,
Thutmose III launched seventeen military expeditions over
62
his forty-four-year reign (Breated, 1914; Cline & O’Connor,

2009).

As the greatest military genius in antiquity, Thutmose III

captured 350 cities and conquered much of the known world
between the Euphrates to Nubia. The pharaoh’s conquests
rival Napoleon’s triumphs over most of Europe in the
context of history. Tributes seized helped Egypt to culturally
spread the African Mystery System throughout the known
world along with its products. Among the tributes collected
in his numerous campaigns were golden thrones, royal
chariots, and jewels, gold in various forms, silver vessels and
cattle at a quantity never before acquired by prior Egyptian
dynasties. Included in the tributes brought home to Egypt
63
was 1570 pounds of gold from Nubia. All of these tributes

gave Egypt supreme wealth and power throughout the
known world (Rogers, 1970).
According to ancient alien theorists, Pharaoh Akhenaten
who ruled during the 14th century B.C. appears to resemble
a hybrid between Nommos and Black Africans. Formally
named Amenhotep, he changed his name in the fifth year of
his rule to Akhenaten meaning living spirit of Aten, his
father the celestial king from the Sirius Star System
Akhenaten claimed that as the son of Aten, he had domain
over all of humanity. Respectfully, he abandoned traditional
Egyptian polytheism and introduced monotheistic worship
centering on Aten. Akhenaten’s beliefs influence the
religious belief of Egypt’s Jewish slaves who embraced
monotheism and search for a hybrid messiah who saves the
chosen people and the world from sin, war, and savagery.
According to Sigmund Freud, Moses had been an Atenist
priest who was forced out of Egypt with his followers after
the Akhenaten’s death (Freud, 1939; Stent, 2002; Assman,
1997; Shupak, 1995; Albright, 1973). The Biblical Moses
used the monotheism advocated by Akhenaten to shape
Judaism in its struggle to locate and maintain a land for the
Chosen People.
Akhenaten preached the gospel of peace so consistently
that when subjected nations rebelled he refused to retaliate
despite having the mightiest army of the 14th century B.C. he
wrote psalms as beautiful as King David centuries before the
Judean monarch ruled and did the same. Akhenaten taught
the doctrine of One God more than 1400 years before the
Christians. He also sensed the unity that runs through all
living things comparable to Charles Darwin but 3,000 years
earlier (Rogers, 1970).
The religion Akhenaten imposed was a forerunner to
Christianity. It promoted love, happiness and joy (See Image
29). Under his domain, the use of the lash and other acts of
cruelty were abandoned. Tributes to the Gods and priests of
64
Amen were abandoned. Akhenaten told the rebelling priest

and subject nations that they could follow him out of love
rather than fear of being forced to do so. He declared if they
do not follow him, he would not use force, cruelty and
repression. A humanitarian, Akhenaten was the first pharaoh
to exemplify no trace of barbarism (Ibid).

Christian Tradition

Nefertiti (1370-1330 B.C.), Akhenaten’s royal wife and

chief consort’s skull were elongated. She is believed to also
be a hybrid between an off world being and a Black African
according to the ancient alien theorists. She and her husband
lead a religious revolution (Grajetzki, 2005). There is reason
65
to believe that she ruled Egypt after Akhenaten’s death

before the accession of Tutankhamen (Dodson & Sunset,
2009).
During her husband’s reign, Nefertiti (See Images 30-31)
enjoyed unprecedented power. By the twelfth year of
Akhenaten’s reign, there is reason to believe she was
elevated to the status of co-regent equal to the pharaoh’s
status (Reeves, 2005). As a result of her power and beauty,
Nefertiti has become a popular cultural icon second to
Cleopatra as the most famous “Queen” of Ancient Egypt.
Referred to as the most beautiful woman in the world, she
inspired images that changed the standard of feminine
beauty in the 20th century.

Self-Determined Evolution of
Dogon-Egyptian Civilization
Dogon tribesmen reported that the Nommos visited them
at numerous times over more than a millennium prior to the
advent of ancient African civilizations. These instructors
taught Dogons, prehistoric residents of Egypt, how to
cultivate and work harmoniously with nature by predicting
floods at river basins, channeling water into adjacent soils
and other means, like irrigating dray land further away from
the Nile, to become food producing agricultural economies
a prerequisite to developing a Terra Nova civilization.
Nommos and other off-world visitors, according to the
ancient alien theorists knew that electromagnet forces affect
the climate continuum from stability to turbulence and how
to control this force of nature.
The ancient African revolution in food production began
between 6,000 and 1,000 B.C. in the northeast African
forests and savannas that transformed into the Sahara Desert
as a result of the climate change that ended the Ice Age in
Caucasian Mountains of South Russia. The prehistoric
residents of Europa, the Black Grimaldis (See Image 32),
vacated this continent at the beginning of the last Ice Age to
return to their homeland in equatorial Africa. Their
67
sculptural and skeletal remains are found from Italy to

Russia and as far north as Britain and Scandinavia. The
Grimaldis brought civilization from Africa to prehistoric
Europe (Clegg, 1969). Black Africans also were the first and
principal inhabitants of ancient Sumeria, India, China, Indo-
China, and Hebrew tribe (Rogers, 1970; Maspero, 1903;
Baldwin, 1972; Thorndike, 1948; Durant, 1935; Jackson,
2001; Wheeler, 1968; Munro, 1908; Diop, 1974, 1967).

In the homeland of the first developers of civilization on

Terra Nova that would spread to Europe and every continent
on the globe, people of color, primarily of the Negroid race,
living in the river basins, savannas, and highlands of the
continent gave up their sole pursuit of hunting and fishing to
become farmers and builders of villages, towns, and cities.
They domesticated goats, sheep, and cattle and grew wheat,
68
barley, olives and dates to feed the builders of the first

civilization (Herlin, 2003). This transformation from a
primitive and nomadic existence to pastoral builders of
civilization became a model for Africans who first inhabited
Europa, Asia Minor, Middle East, Asia and Pacific Rim.
Egypt transformed from a nomadic to agrarian society
quickened between 4,000 and 3,200 B. C., along the Nile
valley where more sophisticated flood-control technology
was employed by developing political and religious units.
Dikes were organized by priest-scribes who predicted
floods. The Africans, including the Dogons, organized and
maintained food reserves for in hard times when droughts
caused by lack of rainfall in the continent’s interior and
failure to flood lands next to the Nile River prevented the
soil from growing produce. To account for the food held in
reserve, hieroglyphic writing was invented and stylized.
Hieroglyphics were also used to record cosmic knowledge
learned practical knowledge to build their civilization,
breakthroughs from innovations, and acknowledgement off-
world deities and terrestrial achievers (Ibid).
From 2900 to 2700 B. C., during the Old Kingdom, the
basic political structure and cultural basis of classical
Egyptian civilization were fully operable. During this
remarkable era, the Egyptian system of agriculture became a
means for collective wealth. Rulers became privy to
luxurious lifestyles. Grand monuments were built to honor
the living and the dead. Pharaohs and their viziers had great
pyramids built as dwelling in the land of the dead. Their
crowning achievements include the Giza pyramids and Great
Sphinx (Herlin, 2003).
Ancient Egypt’s agrarian prosperity reached its heights
during times when a strong central government prevailed. A
strong national government raised taxes and secured tributes
necessary to resolve quarrels with neighbors, protect the
imperial dynasty from Indo-Aryan hordes, and maintain the
infrastructure necessary for a good life (Ibid). When the
69
centralized government collapsed ending the Old Kingdom,

feudalism, civil disorder, famine, and a high death rate
prevailed for 300 years in what is referred to as the First
Intermediate Period of Egypt (Diop, 1974, 1967). This
pattern would reoccur at the end of the subsequent Middle
Kingdom and New Kingdom. Internal strife and civil war
brought about an age of a weakened central government that
could not defend the realm from Indo-Aryan invaders.
The pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom (2134-1690 B.C.)
restored the strong centralized government that exemplified
prosperity and stability during the Old Kingdom. The
prosperity restored caused a resurgence of art, literature, and
monumental building projects (Grimal, 1994). Amenemhat I
began trade with Asia and Aegean. Trade spurred the spread
of civilization and inventions in demand throughout the
Ancient African Global Hegemony to western society today
(See Image 33). A massive irrigation scheme was employed
by Senusret II (1877-1870) to heighten agricultural
prosperity. Kemet became the most renowned producer of
grain from lands that were futile and green in ancient times
and desert today. Literacy spread among farmers who
described family and agricultural life. The temple of Karnak
at Thebes, the capital, was erected by Senusret I (1956-1911
B.C.). Amenemhat moved the capital to Memphis.
Diagnostic medicine became evident by 1700 B.C.
Territory in Nubia rich in quarries and gold mines were
captured while defensive walls were erected in the eastern
Delta to defend against foreign attacks (Silverman, 1997).
With newfound wealth and greater security measures against
pillaging hordes, wealth, arts, and religion flourished.
Literature during the Middle Kingdom featured
sophisticated themes and characters eloquently written
(Diop, 1974, 1967). In addition, relief and portrait sculpture
of the period captured subtle, individual details that reached
the highest-level of artistic excellence.

Civilization

The Middle Kingdom ended under Amenemhet III who

allowed Indo-Aryan migrates from Asia to settle in the Delta
region to provide a sufficient labor force for his active
mining and building campaigns. The cost of his campaign
along with inadequate Nile floods strained the economy. The
sectionalism ignited by Indo-Aryan seizure of Egypt’s most
significant agricultural and commercial region weakened the
71
government’s hold on the country. With the central authority

impaired, Indo-Aryans seized more control of Egypt and
allied with Nubians to subjugate what was left of the
Egyptian government in and around the old capital, Thebes.
Under duress from foreigners from the north, the northeast
as more Indo-Aryan Hyksos joined earlier migrants in the
Delta region, and south out of Nubia, a divided Egypt went
into a slow decline (Shaw, 2003).
The Indo-Aryans who seized the Delta region treated the
pharaoh's dwelling in Thebes as vassals and expected
tributes from these Egyptians. These Indo-Aryans imposed
their own imitation of Egyptian rule, including pharaohs
(Ibid). Egypt and its authentic central government went into
the Second Intermediate Period (1674-1549 B.C.)
surrounded by Indo-Aryan invaders who were imposing
their rule from the north. The Nubians were infringing on the
southern border from Africa’s interior. With Egyptian
civilization being plundered and under siege, all revenues
were generated from a severely shrunk base to resisting the
ensuing invaders. Preserving their lives and multi-
millennium cultural accomplishments and traditions were
paramount.
Sequenence Tao II and Kamose succeeded in defeating
Nubians, the Hyksos ally in the invasion of Egypt. Their
successor, Ahmose I waged a successful 30-year war that
permanently eradicate the Hyksos presence in the homeland.
Once the invaders were expelled, the strong central
government was restored, and a new era referred to as the
New Kingdom (1549-1069 B.C.) emerged. Pharaohs
expanded Egypt’s borders and secured dominance of the
Near East (Ibid). Unprecedented prosperity from trade and
commerce prevailed over the entire dynastic empire that
strengthened diplomatic ties with neighbors.
Tuthmosis III expanded the borders into northern Syria
and south into the waterfalls of the Nile in Nubia (James,
2005). The New Kingdom pharaohs enhanced emotional and
72
spiritual loyalty by constructing new monuments to the god

Amun and to glorify their own achievements. Respectively,
the female pharaoh Hatshepsut led a trading expedition far
south to Punt, erected an elephant temple, a colossal pair of
obelisks and chapel at Karnak (Clayton, 1994).
The stability of the New Kingdom was threatened by the
transformative rule of Amenhotep IV who changed his name
to Akhenaten 1367-1350 B.C. He touted the sun god Aten as
the supreme deity, suppressed polytheism, and attacked the
power of the priestly establishment some 1,350 or more
years before Jesus Christ challenged rabbinical authority in
Jerusalem (Alfred, 1988). Akhenaten withdrew from foreign
entanglements and wars to secure tributes. As a result, the
border of the empire shrank. Subsequent pharaohs
Tutankhamen, Ay, and Horemheb restored much of the
boundary of the empire through wars and “gunboat
diplomacy” (Cline, 2001). The Pharaoh Seti (1295-1186
B.C.) erected a temple at Abydos, which displayed some of
the most artistic wall reliefs in Egypt’s history. He was
followed by Ramses II (Clayton, 1994).
Ramses the Great (1279-1213 B.C.) built more temples
and erected more statues and obelisks than any other pharaoh
in history (See Image 34; Ibid). He successfully prevented
the Indo-Aryan Hittites from invading the empire
(Tyldesley, 2001, 1998). Hittites were tempted to invade by
the vast wealth held and displayed by Egyptians. The
enormous wealth that produced the advanced Muvian-
African civilization and standard of living drew the envy and
admiration of external allies and foes, alike. The Indo-Aryan
Libyans and Sea People were motivated by this envy to
attack and seize Syria and Palestine, which were important
sources of wealth within the Egyptian empire. Continuous
raids by these and other envious Indo-Aryans and internal
problems such as corruption, tomb robberies, growing power
of the priesthood, and civil unrest led to the fall of the New
Kingdom (James, 2005).

By 1078 B.C., Egypt separated into the northern and

southern domains as it was before unification in 3,200 B.C.
This division persisted to 727 B.C. when Piye, the Nubian
King of Kush, invaded Northern Egypt (Alberge, 2003) He
became the 25th dynastic pharaoh, Pianky (Diop, 1974,
1967). Pianky’s son Taharqa officially united North and
South Egypt and ushered in an Egyptian renaissance (Ibid).
Religion, the arts and architecture were restored to the
heights of the former kingdoms (Bonnett, 2006). In addition,
he saved Jerusalem and much of the Near East from the Indo-
Aryan Assyrian invaders.
Taharqa’s reigned for 26 years from 690 B.C. to 664
B.C. over Egypt's empire that stretched across most of the
74
known world (Kitchen, 1996). His efforts to spread Dogon-

Egyptian civilization and preserve Jerusalem and the Jews
shaped the Western world (Aubin, 2003). Taharqa was one
of the greatest ancient Egyptian pharaohs (See Image 35).
The Egyptian empire under his stewardship extended into
Spain and south through Africa’s interior (Snowden, 1983).
In his honor, Will Smith will portray the Taharqa in the
movie entitled The Last Pharaoh, pending its release.

Chapter 5
Africa’s Global Hegemony Over Religion and
Civilization on the African Continent and
Its Near Eastern Sub-Continent
In the Portrayal of the Messiah

Westerners have portrayed Jesus as frail and petite with
long hair, either dirty blond or brown with Nordic features
typifying Caucasians of North and West Europe today. Jesus
as a carpenter would likely have an athletic build. Long hair
as portrayed is a taboo among men during his time among
Israelites (1 Corinthians 11:14). Scholars doubt that the real
Jesus has long hair. Computerized reproductions completely
contradict the Aryan/Nordic image of Jesus (See Image 36).
Godfrey Higgins, an English writer, suggested in 1863 that
Jesus resembled the dark-skinned inhabitant of North India
(Gordon, 2015). Aboriginal Indians in Antiquity resembled
the sub-Saharan Africans and Africans in Diaspora found
among African-Americans. Revelations 1:14 provides a
description refuting the bias perception of the Indo-
European invaders regarding the image of the Savior of
Mankind (See Image 37). According to some scholars, Jesus
indistinguishably travelled to the ancient land of blacks in
India, Persia and Egypt between his teenage years and 30
years old. He supposedly went to these locales to learn his
theology from master theologians.
Founding Fathers, Early Popes, the First
Christian Martyrs and Saints
The first great leaders of Christianity were all born in the
parts of Africa where blacks were the predominant segment
of the population. Therefore, it is likely that St. Augustine,
Tertullian, Origen, Cyprian and Clement of Alexandria,
76
among other founding fathers of the Universal Church of

Christ (Catholic Church), were black.

Saint Simon (See Image 38) was from Canaan in Galilee,

and was known to the Lord and His Mother. Tradition says
that he was the bridegroom at the wedding where the Savior
performed His first miracle. After witnessing the miracle of
the water which had been turned into wine, he became a
zealous follower of Christ. For this reason, he is known as
Saint Simon the Zealot. Saint Simon was one of the twelve
78
Apostles, and received the Holy Spirit with the others on

Pentecost. He traveled to many places from Britain to the
Black Sea, proclaiming the Gospel of Christ. After winning
many pagans to the Lord, Saint Simon suffered martyrdom
by crucifixion. St Demetrius of Rostov says that this St
Simon is to be distinguished from the Apostle Simon Peter,
and from the Lord's relative Simon (Mt.13:55), who was the
second Bishop of Jerusalem.

79
John the Apostle, (also known as the Apostle whom

Jesus most loved or John the Beloved Disciple), was one of
the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He (See Images 39-40) was
the son of Zebedee and Salome, and brother of James,
another of the Twelve Apostles. Christian tradition holds he
was the last surviving of the Twelve Apostles and died
around the age of 94 - the only apostle to die naturally. The
Church Fathers identify him as the author of several New
Testament works: The Gospel of John, the Epistles of John,
and the Book of Revelation. All three are very different in
nature from the Canonical gospels. It was said that the
Bishops of Asia, requested him to write his Gospel to deal
with the dogma of the Ebionites, who asserted that Christ did
not exist before Mary. It was also said that he composed his
work because Matthew, Mark, and Luke, (of which he
approved) had given the history of Jesus for only one year
i.e. (the year which followed the imprisonment and death of
John the Baptist). Some modern scholars have raised the
possibility that John the Apostle, John the Evangelist, and
John of Patmos were three separate individuals. Certain lines
of evidence suggest that John of Patmos wrote Revelation,
but neither the Gospel of John nor the Epistles of John. For
one, the author of Revelation identifies himself as "John"
several times, but the author of the Gospel of John never
identifies himself directly. Roman Catholic scholars state
that "vocabulary, grammar, and style make it doubtful that
the book could have been put into its present form by the
same person(s) responsible for the fourth gospel." Saint
Tikhon the Bishop of Amathus in Cyprus (See Image 41),
Tertullian and St. Athanasius (293-373 A. D.) were
definitely Black Africans (Rogers, 1967). Mrs. Steward
Erskine in her work, The Vanished Cities of Northern Africa
(2010), concurs and adds that Tertullian (See Image 42) was
the first Christian writer who made Latin the language of
Christianity; Cyprian (See Image 43) was a Bishop and
Christian martyr; and St. Augustine (See Image 44) was one
80
of the most famous Founding Fathers of the Church of

Christ. Black Africans were obviously leaders of the early
Christian Church (Hyman, 1980).

St. Augustine of Hippo who practiced poverty and

than 250 books. His mother, St. Monica of Hippo (See Image
45) saved and baptized him. She delivered St. Augustine
from a life of “temptation and sin.” She was born in Africa
86
in 322 AD. St. Monica’s husband was abusive and violent

towards her. She overcame this harm from her husband
through prayer. St. Monica saved her husband and converted
him to the Catholic faith. She was canonized as the patron
saint of wives and abuse victims (Reed, 2014).

Black Popes played a strong role in the development of

the early Church of Christ (See Images 46-47). One of these,
Pope Victor (186 A. D. – 197 A. D.), a native of Black
Africa, was so prominent in his duties that he was buried
87
near the body of the apostle Peter, the first pope of Rome.
He served the Church during the reign of Emperor Septimus
Severus, also an African, who had led his Roman legions in
a victorious campaign in Britain. Pope Miltiades (311 A. D.
– 314 A. D.) led the Church when it became the official
religion of the Roman Empire. Pope Gelasius 1492 A. D. –
496 A. D.) delivered Rome from the perils of famine (Ibid).

A majority of the population of Roman Africa were

Black African. These Africans contributed immeasurably to
the propagation of the Gospel and the establishment of the
Kingdom of God on earth (Holtzclaw, 1980). Martyrs who
died for their belief in Christ helped to escalate the
popularity, power and influence of Christianity.
Respectfully, Black Africans were the first Christian
martyrs. Three years before Septimus Serverus, the African
Emperor, mounted the throne of Rome, three blacks:
Felicitas, Perpetua and Nymphano, were killed for their
Christian beliefs (Ben-Jochannan, 1978; Groves, 1954). A
number of Black Africans who have devoted themselves to
Jesus’ flock, God’s Gospel and the Universal Church of
Christ have been sainted prior to the rise of European
nationalism and xenophobia.

Chapter 6
European-Nationalistic Hegemonic Transformation
The Spread of the Greco-Roman Worldview

Indo-Aryan invaders destroyed written accounts that
conspicuously identified Black Hebrews. The first known
ethnocentric censorship occurred in 282-246 B. C., when
Ptolemy II, the Greek King of Egypt, had the Hebrew Bible
rewritten disconnecting the biblical figures from Black
Africa’s religious and cultural identity. The only authentic
Hebrew document not censored was the “Dead Sea Scrolls”
found in 1947 at Qumran, a village about twenty miles east
of Jerusalem. The Catholic Church and modern Israelis
currently control this document. They have withheld the
translated content from the general public. There is no doubt
that the revelations of the true contents of the Scrolls
irreconcilably contradict these institutions’ teachings (Ibid).
After the Greeks, the Romans and other Indo-Aryan
groups, including the Arabs, took control of the Holy Lands,
and destroyed nearly all vestiges of the African identity of
the former inhabitants. The same fate occurred to the Black
African city of Carthage and all vestiges of civilization along
the Mesopotamia and Indus Valleys. The artifacts still
retained were intentionally disfigured to make racial
identification ambiguous. Romans and Greeks were
foremost in purging the Black Hebrew identity and Jewish
orthodoxy (Ibid).
Modern Americans after further Indo-Aryan revisions
are pretty confident that all the images in print and the stain
glass windows of churches of long haired, white men as
illustrated in their family Bibles are accurate (See Image 48).
They are empowered by seeing themselves in the images of
92
biblical figures and those who wrote the Bible (See Image
49). America has an obsession with these Indo-Aryan
images. These popular images are 19th -20th century
creations. They contradict European biblical art as early as
the 4th century of the Christian era which displayed blacks as
these holy figures. Respectfully, the Old World popularity of
the cult of the Black Madonna and Christ throughout Europe
today is evidence that the Indo-Aryan version is a recent
Western phenomenon. In America, a white Jesus and other
biblical figures have risen to prominence as the sanctifying
symbol of a new national hegemony (Muhammad, 2013).
The USA in the 20th century became the world’s leading
producer and global exporter of Indo-Aryan Jesus and other
Westernized biblical images (Ibid). Lately, the History
channel produced and broadcasted a production of the Bible
that only included Samson and Delilah, well as the
incarnation of the Devil as black figures. The Samson and
Delilah drew negative criticism and skeptical remarks
regarding whether any God fearing biblical figure was black.
The depiction of a Black incarnation of the Devil was well
received, particularly by conservative pundits who claimed
he resembled Obama, the nation’s first African American
President (See Image 50). The series was quite popular
among Americans and a DVD version is probably being
prepared for global distribution similar to other television
and big screen movies. American’s world view continues to
be “if your white your right, good and blessed” and “if your
black get back, you're prone to evil or animal instincts and
you are not made in the image of God and his disciples.”
America’s global distribution of this Indo-Aryan world
view through biblical images became a viable business in
1941 when Warner Sallman produced and distributed the
Head of Christ. By the 1990s, 500 million prints of a smooth
white skin, long, flowing blondish-brown hair, long bearded
and blue eyed Nordic Christ was distributed (See Image 51).
This image contradicts the scriptures that describe Jesus as
93
“wooly hair and black feet” (Rev 1: 14-15) and being in the
“image of the unseen God” (Gospel of John, 12: 45; 14, 9).
The Truth Shall Set You Free
The one of the worst lie and sin of Western church may
be the premeditated transformation of the racial and ethnic
identities of Jesus Christ, his mother and the entire people of
the Bible from black people to satisfy their own ethnocentric
sentiments (Darkwah, 2000; Shakur, 2013). The Catholic
Church seemed obsessed in its portrayal of the Ancient
Egyptians as pagans, heathens and devils. They may have
done so to conceal that the Ancient Egyptian Priests were the
Scribes who wrote what we have come to know what we
have come to know today as the Holy Bible. From its
Predynastic period to its Golden Age of pyramid building,
Egypt inhabitants were a race of unmixed Black Africans
(Darkwah, 2000; Maulana, 2013).

The descendants of these Ancient Egyptians constituted

most of the Africans throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. They
are concentrated in nations like Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast
and Mali. Their ancestors produced the first book paying
honor and divine respect to a “Creator of Mankind.” These
ancestors were Black Africans who resided in the Nile
Valley and Great Lakes regions of Central, East and
Northeast Africa (Today’s Middle East). The book is entitled
The Book of the Coming Forth by Day and Night. It was
translated from its hieroglyphic text into English during the
19th century. This title of the first edition is The Book of the
Dead. This original Bible was produced 3,400 years before
the Old Testament and more than 4,200 years before the
96
New Testament. Numerous versions of the translated edition

have been published (Ben-Jochannan, 1973).
Egyptologists have translated the hieroglyphic language
in The Book of the Dead. They found that the Ancient
Egyptian cross was the earliest and most ancient sacred
symbol of religion. The cross refers to life. In antiquity, this
cross was taken to Rome and it was transformed into a
Christian Symbol with a slight variation in design. Prior to
being a Christian symbol it was used in North Africa,
including Palestine to crucify thieves and rebels or threats to
the status-quo like Jesus Christ. The ancient Egyptian cross
was excavated from the tomb of Akan King Tutu Ankoma,
referred to a Tutankhamun, the boy king of the 18th Dynasty
(Darkwah, 2000; Maulana, 2013).
Darkwah (2000) and Osman (2005) claim that the
crucifixion story and Jesus derives from the legendary story
of King Tut (See Image 52). Both authors see Christianity as
a version of Egyptian religion that disconnects its
messengers (Black Africans) from the message that Romans
opted as their own. Osman dates the Christ legend to the Boy
King of Egypt who came to the throne as
Tutankhaten in 1361 B. C. He is the great grandson of Yuya
(Joseph) the Patriarch of the Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt.
King Tut attempted to create a compromise between the
Aten and the ancient gods of Egypt. To seal this
compromise; he took the name Tutankhamun dedicated to
the old religion (Osman, 1998).
Around 1352 B. C., Tutankhamen travels to Sinai to try
to persuade the Atenists and his father, Athenaten (Moses),
to return to Egypt and live there in peace. They would have
to be tolerant of those worshipping the old religion of many
gods. He is captured on this mission by Panehesy, the
Atenite priest, tortured and hanged. Aye, the head of the
Egyptian army retrieved Tutankhamun’s remains for
mummification and burial in the Valley of the Kings. Aye
was the second son of Joseph (Yuya). He would become the
97
Pharaoh of Egypt for four years before mysteriously

disappearing (Ibid).

Osman believes that the translators of the New

Testament confused Jesus with Joshua who succeeded
Moses as leader of the Israelites. This error occurred since
the 16th century when the Old Testament was translated from
the Mesoretic test into native European languages. Since that
time, Jesus and Joshua have been referred to as two different
individuals. The Neo-Platonist and Hermetics that have
dominated the academic world since the Age of
Enlightenment completely reject the obvious Egyptian
influence on Christianity (Ibid).
Darkwah gives a more detailed view into the ethnic roots
of Black Egyptians that founded Christianity. Five ethnic
98
groups namely the Akan, the Ewe, the Ga-Angangbe, the

Hausa and the Ibo headed the intelligentsia of Ancient
Egypt. The Majority of Ancient Egyptian kings had Akan
names. Akans were the ruling class. Translators and
Egyptologists have readily erred in naming the Egyptian
kings and cities like Mamfe as Memphis; the former is
properly located in Ghana. The errors were designed to erase
the connection between the high civilization of the Egyptians
and black roots in Africa’s interior. How would they justify
the slavery and exploitation of Black Africa unless they
disconnect Egypt from the continent and make it an Asiatic
Hellenized and Romanized civilization of Non-African
people? In contrast, descendants of the Ancient Egyptians
are black skinned and they live in Sub-Sahara Africa. Their
black ancestors wrote the Bible in an Egypt that extended
from the interior of Africa through Northeast Africa (today’s
Middle East) to India (Darkwah, 2000).
There are Ga-Adangme names among the Egyptians and
Jews today, such as the name of the Prime Minister of Israel,
Netanyahu. His name was derived from the two Ga-
Adangme names “Natey” and “Nyaho.” These Ga names
confirm that this ethnic group was in the ancient Egyptian
domain of Israel (Kanaan) (Ibid). Ga also lived in the
Euphrates river valley in north Syria. The Ewe People, a Ga
ethnic group was a major international power in this region
according to ancient Egyptian documents (Sagg, 1991).
The design of Christianity from its early days was based
upon protecting the Bible from the lay masses. Until the
Reformation, the Bible was written in Latin which is
primarily spoken and used by the clergy. The contents of the
Bible were secretly guarded and known by a select few in
the Church (Maulana, 2013). Masses were encouraged to
have faith in unseen scriptures interpreted by the Church in
Latin which is not the native language of the believers and
commonly understood. Bibles were not translated into native
languages until a century long struggle and thirty-year war
99
freedom most of Northern Europe from Vatican control.

Until the peace was restored, the Church and its allies used
imprisonment, torture and executions to punish those that
did not follow their strict instruction and world view. Before
the Reformation was settled, the African origin of
Christianity was common knowledge among western
scholars and early apostolic fathers of the Church. This
knowledge is still common knowledge today among those
holding power in the west and censoring this truth from the
masses (Ibid).
The falsehoods, fabrications and false assumptions
regarding the role of Indo-Aryans in the Bible to the
exclusion of the Black Africans, the original participants and
authors is an outcome of Western hegemony, ethnocentrism
and xenophobia. Numerous European scholars in pursuit of
the truth have presented historical evidence and
interpretations to contradict these conventional falsehoods
designed to justify the Western’s accumulation of capital
(wealth) and privilege at the expense of the scorned and
underprivileged. In The Aryan Myth: A History of Racist and
Nationalistic Ideas in Europe, Leon Poliakov (1996)
revealed that it was common knowledge in Europe and
among early European scholars that the people of the Bible
were black. The most popular anthropologist of the first half
of the 19th century, James Cowles Prichard, claimed that
Adam and Eve were black. According to Sir Godfrey
Higgins, the people of the Bible and all the early founders of
the Catholic Church of Europe were black. He cites the
earliest images of God and Christ, as well as his mother, as
being members of the Negroid race (Higgins, 2007). Kersey
Graves wrote a book entitled The World’s Sixteen Crucified
Saviors pointing out that there is clear evidence in Europe
that Jesus and the people of the Bible were black (Graves,
2004, 1875). In addition to what scholars had written there
are numerous pictures and portraits of Christ by the early
100
Christians that uniformly represented him as a black person

(Jackson, 1987).
Leaders of the Church after Christianity became the state
religion of the Roman Empire, theosophical teachings and
writings, as well as Arabs, have all labored to disconnect
Black Africans from Ancient Egypt. This reinterpretation
and rewrite was done to hide the true identity of the original
authors of the Bible and their connection to African religion.
To achieve this goal, the legacy of Ancient Egypt was “high
jacked,” the black messengers were “whiten out,” and the
message was retained but interpreted to maintain Western
hegemony (See Image 53; Maulana, 2013). With the need to
acquire and use African slaves to extract agricultural wealth
from the American colonies, new images were contracted
with a European or Nordic characters replacing the original
black skinned biblical housed in the early churches and
Christian domains. The Reformation unleashed the avarice
and usury essential for capitalism to flourish, as well as for
nationalism, ethnocentrism and xenophobia to purge the
identities of the original biblical figures and use the message
to justify their rule over people of color as “Servants of the
Servants of God.”
Egyptology was established to destroy the Black genesis
of Ancient Egypt and reinforce Western racial hegemony.
The late Dr. Cheik Anta Diop, a Senegalese Physicist-
Scientist, Paleo-anthropologist that analyzed the melanin
content of mummies excavated, found these attempts to
conceal the truth regarding the identity of Ancient Egyptians
(See Image 54) would become futile. His scientific finding
indicates that the ancients were overwhelmingly black as is
evident in Sub-Sahara Africa today. Diop believes that the
counterfeiters’ attempts to displace Black Africans with
Indo-Europeans and/or Asian images are like “drowning a
fish in the vast ocean” (Ibid).

Chapter 7
Creating Self-Alienated Africans in Diaspora
Pass the Plate and Dollars to Self-Serving

Moneychangers
Collectively, black churches have received more than
$420 billion in tithes and donations since 1980. Enormous
surpluses are being accrued. Black churches in 2006
amassed as much as $17 billion. These surpluses and
questionable spending are growing well beyond that $17
billion. At the same time, the communities surrounding these
churches are often underfunded and deprived of social
services for the neediest residents. This discrepancy has
drawn the attention of politicians and community leaders,
alike. They are demanding a better account of the “return on
investment” on tax-exempt funds not being spent on
community empowerment (Recycle Dollars, 2015).
Legions of faithful church goers have come to the
defense of their pastors respecting how these large sums are
spent. They, in turn, accuse their detractors of hypocritically
ignoring the largesse of wealthy white televangelists.
Simultaneously, black church goers have down played the
economic underdevelopment of the surrounding
communities, as well as the lack of adequate social services
for the underprivileged (Ibid). As a former member of a
black megachurch, most of the attendees are concerned with
maintaining their bourgeois lifestyle (cars, homes, garments,
professional positions and titles, etc.) over other
congregates. Most of these “status-seeking” congregates are
“wannabes” who seek to appear and sound like members of
the dominant white ruling class as possible.
104
Megachurch ministers are preoccupied with material

gains and achieving the most affluent lifestyle. They want to
be treated like celebrities. The church then turns away from
serving the needs of the community. They become
preoccupied with self-service (Ibid). These churches pursue
what is known as the “Prosperity Gospel.” It is a practice
which says that providing donations to Christian ministers
will result in personal financial gains. Creflo Dollars, for
example, received $69 million in 2006 by pursing this gospel
(All Christian News, 2014). Members subjected to this
gospel are sold on it by flamboyant ministers. Congregates
believe their donations will bless them with material wealth
and good health, free of disease. Prosperity gospel preached
to these congregates suits a vision of capitalism that is
devastating to community development and national
prosperity (Glaude, 2015). Blacks in the community would
too often remain underdeveloped, unable to grasp education,
employable skills that would lead them away from the lure
of vice, arrest and mass incarceration.
Megachurches promote a gospel that wealth and poverty
constitute evidence of God’s blessing or punishment. Works
(gifts or donations) of faith are operationalized as
conspicuous consumption. Christians are designated a
preferred class of “blessed entrepreneurs and consumers”
(Ibid). Congregates are routinely manipulated to donate to
the conspicuous consumption of the church and its
leadership. These leaders have, in turn, offered a form of
spiritual abuse. Signs of spiritual abuse imposed by a pastor
include the following:
1. Commanding that the Bible requires
Christians to tithe or give 10 percent of their
income.
2. Multiple offerings are incurred during a
given service.
3. Donors are acknowledged and given special
recognition.
105
4. You are asked to donate to a mysterious

“building fund” or “first-fruit” offering
(Black, 2015).
Quibbling over how churches collect money sparked the
Protestant Reformation in the 16th century and 100-year war.
Pressuring Christians to make donations does violate New
Testament teachings about how and why people should give.
Some of the most esteem disciples of Christ, like Saint Paul,
refused to take money because it could be used to influence
him. In the New Testament: Matthew 23: 23; Luke 11: 42,
18: 12; and, Hebrews 7: 4-9, refers to tithing. None of these
passages suggest a predetermined percentage for giving and
no money exchanges hands in any of them. Jesus said we are
not bounded by laws of the Old Testament for Jews that do
include tithing (Ibid).
Other problems are amplified in the black church by
distorted and self-serving misuse of Christianity, its
fellowship and value to the black community. Among these
problems weakening its mission and impact there is: (1)
prevalence of envy and status-seeking, (2) fragmented
teaching and preaching, (3) lack of community involvement,
and (4) insufficient or non-existent social justice agenda
(Ibid). The larger a black church becomes the more it seems
like a private club with elite and more privileged leaders.
Income redistributed from the larger congregate to these elite
leaders is spend on lavish living, private jets and other
carriers to conventions and travel sites, entertainment, and
expenses at the best hotels or suites, gourmet or catered
meals, etc.
Envy is such a prevailing force it may lead to untimely
demise of the church itself. Many black preachers avoid
addressing this problem because they are afraid of losing
church members and the dollars they donate. Self-esteem
problems and racial self-hatred fuels this envy. To minimize
its impact, preachers need to address self-esteem problems,
106
racial self-loathing and make believe illusions which protect

their ego from a sense of inferiority (Frazier, 1957).
The More Things Change, the More They Stay the
Same: Buying Your Way to Heaven
The last most comprehensive study of the black middle
class was done by E. Franklin Frazier (1957). This classical
blueprint matches the largest donors and beneficiaries of the
black church nearly sixty years ago and today. To a lesser
extent the black middle class today live in a world of make-
believe. There are more black millionaires and billionaires
today who largely live in the world of make-believe. There
are more blacks trapped in poverty today. Fewer non-skilled,
manual labor jobs are available in factories and farms. The
average black family income today compared to whites is 56
percent as it was in the 50s. Fewer blacks hold homes and
farms relative to whites today. As a result, white family
wealth has rose to being 20 times that of blacks.
Generally speaking, members of the black megachurches
are self-alienated from the black masses. They have
developed a self-hatred revealed in their devaluation of the
physical and social characteristics of African-Americans.
Their feelings of inferiority and insecurity are revealed in
their pathological struggle for status in black society and
recognition in the white world. These congregates have a
penchant to escape into a world of make-believe with its
sham “society” that leaves them with a feeling of emptiness
and futility causing them to constantly escape into new
delusions (Ibid).
Displays of wealth and conspicuous consumption
constitute one of the many delusions of grandeur that typify
the black middle class and “wannabes.” They are typically
inexperienced in regards to retaining real wealth (property
and other hard assets) and quickly accumulate unacceptable
debt. These congregates lack a tradition of saving and
accumulating stocks and bonds. To them, wealth means
spending money. Their delusion of wealth is enhanced by
107
the belief that wealth will gain them acceptance in American

life. For example, black millionaires and billionaires, like
Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, among others, are known
to party and relate to one another in Jupiter, Florida. White
executives too frequently complain that they do not hire
blacks for the top jobs because they do not have relationships
with them. Both races are more acceptable to members of
their own race and wealth. In turn, black megachurch donors
have made a fetish of material things – houses, automobiles,
furniture, wardrobes and all sorts of gadgets. They
accumulate many of the latest things they never use. Their
homes have the appearance of museums with spurious arts
objects (Ibid).
These middle-to-upper class members of black
megachurches have, for the most part, not played the role of
a responsible elite in the black community. Few have a sense
of identity with and responsibility for the black masses.
Commitment to black clients is inauthentic. They often
spend their leisure time in frivolities and superficial
activities to heighten their status in black society.
Cumulatively, the supporters of the black megachurches
exploit the community as ruthlessly as whites (Ibid). As self-
serving overseers, they are a vital factor in the
underdevelopment of blacks.
The Perpetuation of Mental Slavery and Bad Theology
The larger an organization the more self-serving and
ineffective it becomes. The megachurches are an example of
this truism. They have, the larger Catholic church of Rome,
have strayed away from the Gospel and message of Jesus
Christ. They are using brainwashing, mind control,
indoctrination, coercion, intimidation, legalism, false
teaching, guilt, shame, peer pressure, and other bondage
techniques to control members. They profess to be “winning
souls to Christ” but the underlying agenda is the desire for
more power, control, and money (Bible Life, 2015).
108
The focus on money is evident in the megachurches’

websites, on their television shows or radio ministries. The
websites typically display books, tapes, videos and other
materials for sale at their online stores. Church budgets
based primarily on donations feed the production and
marketing of these products for additional revenues. That
initial budget is proportional to the number of church
members and donations solicited. Getting more members
with higher status and income means getting more money
(Ibid). The root of all evil and prime motivation in today’s
megachurches is money.
The prosperity teaching pastors use is contrary to the
New Testament and the life of Jesus Christ. The bondage
methods used to preach this “prosperity gospel” tends to rate
congregates on their works or amount of money raised or
donated. In contrast, Jesus praised people for their greater
faith (Ibid). False Christianity chooses leaders whose
teachings are based on raising money to honor them, church
elders, and build shrines or temples to the greatness of their
leadership and donations incurred.
The prosperity ministry has rightfully demoralized
support for the black church in our communities. Their bad
theology promotes disunity, Social Darwinism (survival-of-
the-fittest), narcissism, greed, and selfishness. In addition,
their bad theology teaches:
 Blacks to passively wait for God to do things
that could and should do for themselves.
 Blacks that it is God’s will for them to suffer.
 Reinforces white supremacy and black
inferiority.
 To “look out for number one.”
 Ignore the scriptures, meaning, mission and
sacrifices of the real Jesus Christ who was
black and walked and uplifted the poor,
displaced and needy.
109
 Ignores the call for “social justice” to liberate

and empower the masses (Wallace, 2012).
Generating the Stockholm Syndrome, Identification
With Hegemony and Co-Dependency
The Stockholm syndrome is a psychological
phenomenon in which hostage’s express empathy, sympathy
and positive feelings toward their captors to the extent of
defending them. In the African-American community, the
best-known political hostages of their captors include
Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell, Allen West,
Herman Cain and E. W. Jackson, among others. Their
feelings and allegiances toward captors contradict the self-
interest of their own minority group, impoverished and
underclass they have arisen from. These individuals, like
many more who are suffering from the Stockholm
syndrome, mistake a lack of abuse from their captors as an
act of kindness (De Fabrique, Romano, Vecchi, & Van
Hasselt, 2010). This mindset can be a subtler form of
traumatic bonding whereby strong emotional ties developed
dictated by captors who hold the superior socioeconomic and
power status over ambitious or opportunist hostages.
Identification with those holding higher socioeconomic
status is one way the egos of the hostages defend themselves.
When traditional victims identify with the same value as
victimizers, they no longer become a threat to the latter
(Fuselier, 1999).
The Stockholm syndrome according to Azar Gat, is an
adaptive measure that the human species developed in pre-
history to survive capture (Gat, 2000). Women who resisted
capture where it was common in a hunter-gather society
risked being killed and/or have her dependent children
murdered (Ibid). As a result, the adaptive traits of capture
bonding became a universal means to preserve their species.
Notable female examples of the bonding between
hostage and captor are Mary McElroy and Patty Hearst.
McElroy was kidnapped and held for ransom in 1933. She
110
was released by her captors as unharmed. She defended her

captors after they were apprehended and given maximum
sentences. McElroy suffered from feelings of guilt and
several nervous breakdowns. On January 21, 1940, she
committed suicide, shooting herself in the head after leaving
a suicide note requesting the release of her kidnappers
(Ellensburg Daily Record, 1940; The Montreal Gazette,
1940).
Patty Hearst who was also kidnapped actively
participated in the kidnappers’ robbery after two months of
captivity (Year in Review, 1975). Ms. Hearst pleaded that
she was coerced by the use of the Stockholm syndrome when
she was released from captivity and held by the authorities
for her role in the robbery (West, 1978). That plea did not
avert conviction and imprisonment for her involvement in
the felony. She would be commuted in February 1979 by
President Jimmy Carter and pardoned by Bill Clinton on
January 20, 2001 (Nelson, 1999).
The Stockholm syndrome has become evident in the
economies of “too big to fail” and behavior of politicians.
An opposite syndrome has derived from captor-captive
relationship whereby the captor is bonded to its captive. In
economics, the Stockholm syndrome refers to governments
that have been kidnapped by financial capital because of
their need to refinance debt and guarantee savings accounts.
Those governments, including the United States, are forced
to accept conditions and behaviors by the largest financial
institutions that compromise its fiscal sustainability. In
politics, the politicians are motivated by harsh criticism from
opponents and public in general. They are both empathetic
and sympathetic to the opinions of their in-group critics. The
inverse of the Stockholm syndrome occurs when the
abductor develops sympathy for their hostages. This
inversion is called the Lima syndrome. It is named after an
abductor in Lima, Peru, who freed most of his hostages,
including the most valuable ones, due to sympathy
111
(Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Science, 2007;

International Press Service, 1996).
Encouraging Self-Genocide, It’s Self-Hatred,
Rage, and Inferiority Complex
Two black psychiatrists, William H. Grier and Price M.
Cobb wrote a book entitled Black Rage that looks at the
effects of racial discrimination, hostility and oppression on
their patients. They considered the fact that these patients are
symbolic of a people who have been uprooted from Africa,
cut off from their past, robbed of their language and culture
while being systematically dehumanized and exploited by
society. These black psychiatrists revealed that the full
dimension of their emotional conflicts and desperate
struggle to achieve manhood and womanhood; love, sex and
marriage; family life; black character traits against the
insidious effects of the living heritage of slavery, racism,
discrimination and degradation.
The “shadow of the past” lurks over everything people
do. For all Americans the practice of slavery, discrimination
looms over beliefs, attitudes, perceptions, behavior, policy,
law, customs, traditions, etc. Whites have either ignored
slavery, said they did not benefit or it provided “Christian
protective guardianship” over blacks (Grier & Cobbs, 1968).
Clearly, except for Black Americans, all sizable groups in
America have been able to keep some old customs and
traditions to preserve the history, integrity and humanity.
Much of the pathology seen in Black Americans today stems
from slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination and continual racial
oppression. Persisting to this day is an attitude equally
shared by blacks and whites that blacks are inferior (See
Image 55). This belief permeates the entire population (Ibid).
The dependency that evolved during slavery between the
master and the slave has been evident today many
generations since emancipation. The subhuman or quasi-
human status continues for a large segment of the
population. Blacks are no longer the economic
112
underpinnings of the nation but continue to be victims and

objects for the projection of hostile feelings. Resentment
against blacks by white Republicans have made conservative
talk show host multimillions and fueled the Tea Party that
temporally shut down the U. S. government and cost
taxpayers $24 billion.

Black Underdevelopment
Respecting womanhood, the first measure of a child’s
worth is made by her mother. As was the case during the 60s,
many black mothers felt that they have little worth, value and
desire. This scorn is passed on to their daughters and sons.
In a society that glorifies Nordic appearance as the apex of
113
beauty; black women’s feminine narcissism is impaired

along with a depreciated self-concept. This phenomenon has
a profound impact on their character development (Ibid).
For black girls and women grooming their hair with a
pressing comb or corrosive chemicals, like lye or its
substitute is a painful, humiliating experience to be
acceptable. This act of social acceptability is aimed at
straightening one's hair to appear similar to that of a
Caucasian woman. On the other hand, Caucasian women can
brush their hair with a minimum of discomfort and look quite
acceptable. For the black women as they age and chemical
processing and pressing take its toll on their hair a number
resort to straight hair pieces from animals or if they can
afford them from India or wigs. With the popularity of the
hair appendices mentioned and professional processing,
black women have readily spent a disproportionate amount
of their income on trying to appear to be white with tans.
The underdevelopment of black boys and men is
pervasive in the U. S. The only skill that is fully encouraged
is athletic to produce enormous incomes for white sponsors
and owners of the sports entertainment enterprise in schools
and professional leagues. Developing top flight football and
basketball players is converted into victories against
competitors, filling stadiums and arenas at exorbitant prices,
acquiring lucrative television contracts and gaining
enormous tax-subsidies for new, state-of-the-art stadiums
and arenas. Many of the black athletes who have sacrificed
their bodies to the fortunes of their white coaches, athletic
directors, schools, colleges and universities, as well as
multimillion to billion-dollar professional team owners, are
left as alcoholic-drug abusers in perpetual pain from
excessive wear to joints and limbs, as well as brain damage
from repeated concussions. Football player’s longevity is
shortened from concussions suffered in the sport since
childhood. In addition, their suicide rate is
disproportionately high and their long-term quality of life is
114
diminished. Lucrative short-term incomes are no cure for

long-term misery but for many of these athletes. Little is
done to develop academic skills and prowess of these
athletes to minimize their risk of sports-related injuries. The
black males that are not involved in the shortly lived athletic
careers share with these sports figures a diminished future
and life-shortening racism that adversely impacts their
quality of life and overall life expectancy compared to their
white counterparts (See Image 56).
As black boys, these men grew up with limitations
imposed by social and institutional impediments. Parents of
many poor children often express low academic expectations
of their children. Schools discourage ambitions beyond
sports, training them for academic excellence is perceived as
interfering with their athletic development. As black
children they grow to manhood, they come to see that society
has locked arms against their livelihood, particularly beyond
the playing field, and view their growth with envy and
hostility (Ibid).

The survival function is often impaired, particularly if

the male is unemployed or underemployed frequently or
over extended periods as too many do. As the target of the
highest incarceration rate on the planet, the viability of many
black fathers to contribute to family incomes is impaired. In
addition, the welfare system which is designed to assist
needy families discourages two-parent households through
its eligibility and means requirements. With work
requirements for women to receive this assistance these
women are discouraged from having young babies who need
their care. Those with school-age children are forced to
become latchkey children deprived of supervision at home
and in the street. As a result, black families are in deep
trouble. They are dysfunctional and coming apart in terms of
failing to provide the nurturing needs of black children
(Ibid).
Certain traits of character and patterns of behavior that is
particular to black people than any other group can be traced
to their intergenerational experience as slaves and being
segregated from the mainstream. The experience of slavery
was particularly efficient in effacing the African and
producing America’s blacks. The resulting individuals are
solely a product produced on these shores and a living
document of the black American experience (Ibid).
The impaired discourse, limited vocabulary and
ignorance reflected by a large segment of poor African-
Americans are a reflection of the discriminatory experience
and inferior education. This problem is rooted in slavery.
When African slaves were brought to this country, they were
selected and grouped so they could not communicate with
anyone in their own tribe. Slaves were forced to learn an Old
English full of a series of garbled, half-understood
mispronounced words (Ibid). Another setback in their
development was laws that forbid slaves from reading and
writing.
116
In the wake of this systematic underdevelopment for at

least 400 years, white America readily assumes that most
blacks are intellectually challenged. They assume that black
men cannot learn as much as a white man and therefore
cannot competently assume a position of power and
responsibility. In the U. S., the essential competition
between men is an intellectual one. The essential judgment
of one’s worth rests on intellectual capacity. In this context,
if one fails in the competition for jobs, money and power he
or she is considered an intellectual failure (Ibid). Race is
assumed as an impediment. If a black man or woman
succeeds, they are considered exceptions or aberrations to
their race and that their white competitors are not living up
to expectations.
Effects on Black Self-Destructive Behavior
Intense and pervasive black rage generated by
devaluation, self-hatred, and underdevelopment leads to
implosive intragroup crime. The resulting black-on-violence
has reached epic proportions. Clearly, self-annihilation as
depicted in the violent and destructive sports of football and
boxing dominated by blacks perpetuate stereotypes and
serve to reinforce white hegemony. Blacks who comprise 12
percent of the population constitute 60 percent of the arrests.
However, less than 20 percent of their victims are non-black.
Eighty percent of their victims are black and 90 to 95 percent
of the rapes against black women are black men. The most
likely victim of black violence remains as it did in the last
quarter of the nineteenth-century is black men, women, and
children (Wilson, 1990).
Black suicides have increased significantly since the
Republican retrenchment began under President Reagan.
Racism and underdevelopment have spiked and "raised the
bar" for those seeking equal opportunities and placed greater
blame on blacks for the bigotry they faced. Many of these
suicides occur among blacks between the ages of 20 and 34
117
years old. Black males constitute 40 percent of the total

suicides.
Hegemony by its very nature and intent requires the
continuing oppression and subordination of people of color
and, in time, may require their very lives. Subordination
requires that the most self-determined be targeted,
humiliated. When the violently oppressed react to their
oppression, they are more likely to react violently to blacks
living in their racially isolated communities. They are unable
to direct their anger toward outsiders who directed and
applied oppressive violence upon them (Ibid).
African-Americans are systematically subjected to
greater unemployment, underemployment, poverty, drugs,
poor education, inadequate housing and overcrowding than
any other demographic group in one of the wealthiest nations
on the planet. An inordinate amount of power to defend and
extend economic, psycho-political and social-cultural
advantage is held by European-Americans at the expense of
African-Americans. The social hierarchy based on race is a
critical component in the modern American society.
Subordination as a result of the color of one’s skin still
reins true regardless of Baraka Obama, the first
acknowledged President of African descent. Irrespective of
this token symbolism of change, political and economic
power is being used to strip blacks, one of the most
disadvantaged and segregated groups, the power to defend
themselves against the ills of society and exploitation.
Black-On-Black criminality, disdain, and violence are
encouraged to maintain hegemony and their powerlessness
(Ibid). Estimates are that a third of the black men today in
America are subjected to incarceration in their lifetimes from
racially motivated arrest on non-violent crime, excessive and
unfair sentencing, and inadequate legal representation from
underpaid, incompetent and over-worked court appointed
lawyers. Racial profiling places black men as the targets of
118
excessive surveillance, “stop and frisk,” and other violations

of their privacy.
Criminality and its personal manifestations are socially
created and defined. These manifestations are reflections of
the society and imposed context. Therefore, social milieu
defines criminality and criminal personalities. Criminality
manifests itself as social needs being denied and distorted. It
serves and betrays society (Ibid).
African-Americans have seen few changes since the pre-
Civil Rights Period regarding racial isolation outside of
middle-class flight, perceptions of criminality, prevalence of
Black-On-Black crime, dire socioeconomic circumstances,
and ensuing inferiority complex. The minds of citizens in the
larger community, particularly over 30 years old, generally
have not been freed of bigotry and racism that reigned from
slavery through the Jim Crow Era. The quest remains
unfulfilled for African-Americans to find an identity, a sense
of worth, meaningful connectedness and cooperation
between themselves, positive and socially constructive
values in a society that demonizes and devalues their
blackness. The larger community’s imposed inferiority
complex and socialization do the following to African-
Americans:
 Disconnects them from a rich cultural and
family heritage.
 Alienates them from healthy self-esteem.
 Prevents them from holding family, peers,
and themselves in high esteem.
 Leaves them estranged from themselves and
others.
 Strip them from a meaningful identity and
self-worth.
To avert responsibility and guilt, the larger society
ignores the anger of Black Americans toward a society that
continually rejects their blackness. The dominant
community insists that the rage is exceptional, caused by a
119
few agitators, and is unjust. The growing popularity of media

generated conservatism places all the blame for black
underachievement and underdevelopment on their personal,
family and communal shortcomings. They believe that
effective moral leadership and discipline are needed for
African-Americans to one day achieve the American Dream.
Denied their past, history, culture, and language,
African-Americans were brought to this country by force
and used to make Euro-Americans wealthy and prosperous.
Except for people of African descent, all sizable groups in
America have been able to keep some customs and traditions
(Grier & Cobbs, 1968). Therefore, Black Americans were
devoid of self-understanding and direction. An inferiority
complex deters self-understanding.
Generally, blacks do not properly value one another,
family, and community. Most hold an accommodationist/
survival mentality that is:
 Anti-intellectual or contrary to reading,
studying, debating, assessing, and reflecting
on abstract concepts, theories, and other
aspects of scientific thinking.
 Obsessed with the consumption of houses,
cars, vacations, luxurious living, and other
displays of wealth and material status.
 Not connected to African-American
economic development. Spends majority of
the money earned in the larger community
first and foremost. Therefore, spending does
not enhance black employment (Madhubutu,
1991).
Oppression has produced three types of African-
American people. The first type is a hustler, thief, and
opportunist with a Ph. D., in street smarts. The second type
is a visionary who spends most of his or her time creating
and working on their art, design or invention. Many of the
visionaries are generative and pass on their values,
120
inspirations and creative endeavors to new generations

(Ibid). The third type consists of the accommodationist/
survivalist drones, which constitute the largest group of
African-Americans. Their mentality reinforces stereotypes
and notions that the race is inferior to others.
The privileged African-Americans, which constitute
most of the group’s leadership, have failed to aggressively
wart-off corruption, cynicism, dishonesty, abuses of power,
sexism, and incompetency in our ranks. Their leadership
and control of large, urban school systems proved beyond a
doubt that they could not act in a consistently moral and
ethical manner. Many of these leaders acquired these
positions through “street smarts” and hustle. The historical
basis for leadership in the African-American community
arises from an unconventional source, namely organized
crime. Irrespective of academic achievement, social
mobility for African-Americans, was thwarted until the
implementation of the Civil Rights Acts in the 1970s. Most
African-Americans were denied access to predominantly
white colleges and universities until that decade. The
African-Americans with an economic prowess rose from
gambling (numbers), drugs, illegal alcohol, and prostitution.
Hustlers and thieves achieved prominence in Jim Crow
America. In post-segregated America, African-Americans
faced marginalization in the workforce due to
diversity/affirmative action programs that favored non-
native blacks and an instable economy favoring the
accumulation of wealth among the most affluent families
and businesses.
Finding serious, honest, incorruptible, ethical, and
competent men and women among African-Americans in
the wake of the rage, insecurity, and suppression is
imperative. These natural and connected leaders need to be
identified, encouraged, supported, rewarded, and protected.
Without this outreach, they will not emerge from those afraid
of being locked-out of the halls of power. Policies and
121
actions that undermine the public trust, equal opportunity,

and development of the African-American community
undermine this effort.
African-Americans who achieve status based on their
academic excellence are visible targets of racism and its
numerous stereotypes than those who are less of a threat to
the “status-quota" racial hierarchy. Their rage against this
hostility is greater than less achieving African-Americans.
The increased fear, insecurity, and rage serve as an informal
sanction against academic, self, and communal achievement.
A good education, hard work and high performance can
increase the odds of success (Cose, 1993). Race and
socioeconomic-based access among other factors have
nothing to do with ability or merit dictating how high one
can rise in any organization and economic sphere.
Respectfully, merit tends to be defined subjectively. Loyalty
and like-minded thinking are often a barometer for merit. It
is incongruent to who gets ahead but is often used as the
reasons qualified blacks are denied promotions creating
greater anger.
African-Americans are pervasive “scapegoats” for what
is wrong in this society. Those considered out of their place
are the most visible targets of this perception. Black
scapegoats function as a negative reference vital to maintain
the Euro-American self-image. Demonization of African-
Americans is used to support the larger community’s self-
serving, self-justifying, judgment of itself. This
preoccupation betrays the larger community’s need for
reassurance of its projected moral purity and supremacy.
Therefore, they do not feel as guilty when they unjustly
dominate and exploit people of African descent at home and
abroad (Wilson, 1990).
With the use of projection, reaction formation,
rationalization, and other collective ego defenses, the greater
community makes its destruction of the African-American
community, and persons appear to be the result of their own
122
self-destruction. The larger community, particularly its

ruling class has concocted reasons, which superficially
appear to be “true” while not being so to blame African-
Americans for their dire circumstance and racial isolation,
they encountered. This frees the larger community from
taking responsibility for its unacceptable motives and
behavior. African-Americans are perceived as having
predispositions, innate inabilities, disabilities, income-
petency’s, venalities, and a host of other personality and
collective flaws that have nothing to do with the larger Euro-
American community (Ibid).
Self-hatred is intensified by the introjections of
Eurocentrically falsified African images into the collective
African-American personality can only occur when they
accept those falsified images as fact. The ultimate validators
(the ruling class) of truth and reality have made the lies
aimed at distorting the image, attitudes and behavior of
African-Americans valid. These internalized lies create self-
destructive behavior that has made Black-On-Black crime
the most frequent and devastating, underreported, and
criminal activity in this society.
The internalized self-hatred causes African-Americans
to identify with outside oppressors and alienates them from
one another. Unauthentic personality traits become the
source of self-defeating, self-concepts, and incongruent
social, communal and political relations. The violent Black-
On-Black criminal who attacks African-Americans for a
relatively minor incident or one perceived as such is
motivated by internalized self-hatred and identification with
an outside oppressor (Ibid). Reflective of the larger society’s
racial biases, their behavior is dictated by a collective
“Stockholm Syndrome.”
The African-American middle-class like that of the
working-class community has created a world of make-
believe to shield itself from the harsh socioeconomic
realities of American life (Frazier, 1957). Their world of
123
make-believe is created out of crass materials,

commercialized consumption, and personalized debt, and
assumptions that everyone can achieve wealth if they work
hard enough. The caveats left out are that half of the
wealthiest Americans inherit their riches. The other half of
the most affluent, attract the wealth of those of inherited
wealth and those investors hungry for affluence on the basis
that they could gain greater wealth by investing in activities
and projects of the nova rich who are operating pyramid
schemes, shell games, and two-way bets (derivatives).
The world of make-believe among African-Americans is
created out of the myth of a thriving Black entrepreneurship
and rumors of wealth accrued, ultimately unpaid
multimillion-dollar contracts secured by professional
athletes, and entertainer's income. Discernible inter-
generational wealth is absent. By the 2008-2010 recession,
African-Americans had a tenth of the wealth of Euro-
Americans. The diminishing family income is 56 percent of
white households, which matches the pre-civil rights' level.
Personally, blacks lack a tradition of savings and wealth
accumulation, particularly in white-owned Jim Crow
banking and financial institutions. Wealth made by African-
Americans continues to be spent outside the black
community. They continue to make a fetish of material
things or physical possessions such as houses, luxury
automobiles, costly furniture, expensive gadgets, clothes,
hats, shoes, etc., (Ibid).
The majority of the black bourgeoisie does not find
enough escape from their frustrations in their delusion of
wealth. They continue to find it in magic, chance, sex,
alcohol and substance abuse, as well as addiction. Excessive
drinking and sex continue to be a norm for narcotizing the
blacks against their rage. Gambling is not simply a device
for winning money. This high-risk activity is a device for
enhancing their self-esteem by overcoming fate (Ibid).
124
The African-American middle-class is a decisive

component of the underdevelopment of this nonwhite group.
A stratum is being miseducated in traditional schools
producing professional overseers. Socio-politically, they
serve as a necessary yet strategic buffer between those who
wield real power and wealth and the disfranchised.
The black bourgeoisie is a product of the monopolization
of capital (wealth), colonialism, imperialism, and
mercantilism that controls global markets and trade
balances, which reinforce the underdevelopment of African-
Americans (Marable, 1983). Intra-racial, self-hatred and
self-destructive rage are promoted by the larger community,
programmed, and reinforced into the psyche of nonwhite
minority elites in a society created to empower white
hegemony. For those unaware of their conditioning, rather
than lead their race toward freedom and self-determination,
these elites have become a tool for their suppression.

Chapter 8
As the Basis of Black-On-Black
Criminology and Conservatism
Black Conservativism, “Uncle Ben” Carson and

His “Blame the Victim” Politics
According to a report unveiled by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, there are 12 million black people not in the labor
force in February and March 2015. They do not have a job
or are actively seeking one. This number represents 40
percent of the blacks who either had a job or is seeking one.
The 12 million figure does contradict the value of the 10.1
percent unemployment rate as reported. This number is in
itself twice that of the national unemployment rate and
nearly quadruple of that of whites (Meyer, 2015). A white
person who has committed a felony and served his or her
time has a higher employment rate than a Black American
with a college degree. Yet, black conservatives seem to
solely blame African-Americans for their lack of progress.
Black conservatives argue that if blacks were humbler,
disciplined, taciturn, and hardworking, they would be more
acceptable and able to take advantage of the infinite
opportunities available in this society for self and collective
improvement.
Ben Carson along with other black conservatives who
have achieved high status, distinguished education and
employment, did not do so on the basis of “pulling
themselves up from their own bootstraps.” Their higher
education and employment was made possible by the Civil
Rights Movement which is the forerunner to the Black Lives
Matter movement which Black Republicans like Carson
finds as a nuisance. The former movement, 1955-1965, cost
126
the lives of over 40 activists and produced laws that

prohibited educational and job discrimination. The laws also
authorized affirmative action plans to push for access push
for access to institutes of higher education and jobs
previously barred to African-Americans and other
minorities. Discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity and
gender was made illegal. Black Republicans, like Carson,
would not have acquired the professional positions, elite
educational experiences and career achievements without
the movement and death of 40 activists. In return for these
sacrifices, black conservatives are pursuing policies and
practices aimed at denying disadvantaged blacks the same
opportunities they had access to in achieving socioeconomic
mobility.
In many ways, “Uncle Ben” Carson is a modern Booker
T. Washington. A distinguished retired brain surgeon, he
believes in making accommodations to values, principles,
and biases of those that dominate this society. Carson’s
humble demeanor fits what they expect all good and
unthreatening blacks to reflect, being “Servants of the
Servants of God.” Unquestionably that God is Indo
European of Nordic or Aryan stock. In the eyes of society’s
dominant group, Carson reflects the anti-Obama who they
can use to destroy the twice elected president’s legacy.
Respecting racism and poverty, Carson sees these
charges as excuses or minimal to nonexistent barriers that
stand in the way of black and nonwhite progress. These
charges, he points out, obscures will, determination and
perseverance, along with moral rectitude needed to succeed
against the odds. Therefore, large-scale reforms or fraught
discussions on race are unnecessary and perhaps even
unwise. Carson also applies this logic to social welfare
programs, including cash welfare assistance and food stamps
for the poor. His Robin Hood-in-reverse philosophy
embraces low taxes, particularly for the wealthy donor class.
Dr. Carson also wants to terminate the Affordable Health
127
Care Program which is designed to improve the life

expectancy of low-income workers of whom blacks are
disproportionately represented (Ross, 2015).
“Uncle Ben” Carson holds and promotes traditional
beliefs in morality, personal responsibility, self-help,
individualism and faith in the free market system cherished
by Republicans and Christian fundamentalist, alike. He is
joined in this belief by contemporary black conservatives,
like Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, Armstrong Williams and
Thomas Sowell, among others. Carson and his fellows are
considered “safe” by white conservatives (Rigueur, 2015).
He sees racism, if proven by the preponderance of hard
evidence, as an atypical individual act that can be eradicated
without structural change. Carson considers most of these
accusations against the larger society as frivolous and
without merit.
Dr. Carson (See Image 57) is the latest black puppet used
to make ignorant slurs, quips, digs or insults of blacks,
Democrats, women and President Obama by rightwing GOP
handlers. He has uttered well-worn, tired Nazi labels to tag
those who try to silence Tea Party dissent. His utterances are
really projections and guises for tyrannical thinking and
policies his handlers hoped to impose on blacks and liberals,
alike. Carson is the latest panderer the GOP has trotted out
and plopped out on TV between the political news and
chaotic Republican debates to embarrass blacks. He does
project the illusion that GOP is a race-neutral party of white
Americans. Realistically, he is a serviceable tool used by
ultraconservatives to play their version of the race game.
Carson, in their view, would be perceived as a heroic figure
to the Republican base for having the timidity to challenge
the Democrat’s position (Hutchinson, 2014).
“Uncle Ben” Carson perceives the Black Lives Matter
movement as little more than a nuisance, pointless exercise
and distraction at best. To the applause of white
conservatives, he blames Black America for their own
128
problems. Carson insist that the solution to the issue of

police conduct is better behavior and character development
among black youths (Ross, 2015). As a result of what he
believes and articulates, Dr. Carson is a black man that white
Republicans pay attention to and prefer to protect, preserve,
and promote their conservative principles (Chattanooga,
2015). In effect, “this house negro is trusted to protect the
master’s home and family more than his own.”

Servants of God”

It is reported on November 3, 2015, that Dr. Carson (See

Image 58) had surged into the lead of the Republican
presidential race. He was approved for the nomination by 29
percent of the GOP primary voters polled which is the
highest percentage so far in the Republican race. Donald
Trump lost his nearly 6 month hold on that spot by polling
the support of 23 percent of the GOP voters. As of early
November 2015, Carson is the man to beat among the
129
Republicans. The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll was

conducted between the 25th and 29th of October before and
after the last Republican debate (Murray, 2015a).
Image 58: Lobotomizing His Own
Presidential Campaign

Carson also tied and solely surpassed Clinton in a

hypothetical 2016 presidential match based on polls to that
effect. The polls were also conducted by NBC News/Wall
Street Journal. Both were candidates for the presidency
when tied were supported by 47 percent of the surveyed
respondents, separately. Independents gave Carson a 13-
point lead over Clinton (47 to 34 percent) (Murray, 2015b).
They feel he is more trustworthy and honest. Carson is also
perceived as being more authentic because he says what he
feels whether it is politically correct or not. He makes
policing political correctness the centerpiece of his
campaign. Carson has stated that he plans as president to use
the Department of Education to end the policing of political
130
correctness at colleges and universities by withdrawing

federal funds from the institutions that tolerate it. What is
considered conservatives’ usage of one’s freedom of speech
is to “others” offensive insults, racial slurs and hate speech.
By taking the side of the abusers of free speech and
advocating the intervention of the government to support the
use of hate speech, Carson has given his supporters
permission to be intolerant, use racial slurs and harass
blacks, other nonwhites and other minorities. Banning
political correctness will have the effect of reversing
diversity and affirmative action by making it more difficult
for minorities to assimilate into the professions and
corporate world to ensure white domination.
On the level of actual policing, Sheriff A. Clarke (See
Image 59) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a black conservative
who has frequently appeared on Fox News decrying BLM,
has been identified by the “hacktivist” group Anonymous as
a member of the United Northern and Southern Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan. He has not disavowed this allegation.
Clarke continues to claim that BLM activists are terrorists
that would eventually join forces with the Islamic State
(ISIS) to terrorize and take down our republic. This
conservative presents no evidence. Clarke also tweeted this
mythical claim to 98,000 followers (Paulson, 2015). It is
obvious that his self-hatred demonstrated in these comments
and defense of police officers who kill unarmed blacks
makes him an agent of the holocaust imposed on Black
Americans.
Clarence “Stephen Fetch It” Thomas and
Rigged Justice
Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry known by his
stage name “Stephen Fetch it,” like Ronald Reagan, is one
of the most controversial actors. President Reagan was a fan
of the minstrel shows, which featured the “Stephen Fetch it”
character. An aficionado of these performances, President
Regan featured white performers in black faces mimicking
131
“Stephen Fetch it” and other African-American characters.

The “Stephen Fetch it” caricatures portrayed a lazy, slow-
witted, jive talking “coon” that whites loved at the chagrin
of African-Americans’ dignity, integrity, and humanity (See
Image 60). This brand of minstrelsy was mainstream
entertainment in the 1930s. The original “Stephen Fetch it”
gained character gained superstar status and became the first
African-American actor to become a millionaire (Bogle,
1994).

Lincoln “Stephen Fetch it” Perry was a literate and very

intelligent man who wrote for the Chicago Defender the
premier African-American newspaper. Perry exploited the
racial stereotypes of the 30s to gain a fortune and first-class
lifestyle. The “Stephen Fetch it” character evolved from
Perry’s The Laziest Man in the World” vaudeville act, which
became quite popular in the white circuits. The lavish
fortune Perry derived was lost through overspending, and he
was bankrupt by 1947 (Ibid).
Perry tried to come back on the small screen (television)
in the 1950s series “Amos n’ Andy.” Civil rights groups
protested against Perry and other degrading participants and
forced CBS to cut the program from its lineup. These
progressive organizations led a boycott against the show’s
sponsors, as well as the network. They felt that the
stereotypes portrayed pandered to the racist elements in the
general population in a time when equality was being
demonstratively sought.
133
The modern day caricatures of “Stephen Fetch it” in our

highest court; Thomas was first installed as the head of
Reagan’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The
opportunist followed directions to dismantle effective efforts
to close the employment gap between African-Americans
and whites. As an obstructionist, Thomas became an
objective of civil rights organizations’ contempt and
derision. He reacted by adopting a defensive crouch to lash
at these perceived personal enemies, which consisted of
itemizing old wounds and insults to be repaid (Grimes,
2007).
Judge Thomas, with a history of numerous personal
problems, sees himself as a persecuted figure that is being
singled out by the liberal establishment for annihilation. A
man from an impoverished background, Thomas poorly
managed his meager government salary until he became
conservative supporters promoted him for a seat on the
Supreme Court. As a Koch Brother sponsored justice,
Thomas became the deciding vote in the favor of those
seeking to buy politicians and received millions through a
liaison, his wife (Karoli, 2011). Thomas met and married an
ultraconservative financial liaison and supporter. Prior
marital and relationship difficulties contributed to his
trauma, paranoia, and rage toward the majority of African-
Americans and their supporters who he considered liberals
or enemy. Anita Hill and other women claimed that Thomas
was also obsessed with sex and pornography. In addition, as
confessed in his memoirs, entitled My Grandfather’s Son,
Thomas had a drinking (alcohol) problem (Ibid). Heavy
alcohol consumption leads to neutral cell damage that
stymies intellectual acuteness.
Tunnel vision and rigid mindset characterize Judge
Thomas’ thinking and opinion to the present. His tunnel
vision reached a higher level of inflexibility under the
influences of free market economists, like Thomas Sowell.
He openly questioned whether government intervention was
134
a viable way to improve the standard of living for African-

Americans contrary to progress made by the Civil Rights
Laws and implementation strategies. Judge Thomas more
stringently embraced the philosophy of self-reliance while
blaming welfare for the poor as the “ruination” of African-
Americans (Ibid).
The stringent, rigid, ideologically conservative stance
taken by Thomas drew the opposition from the traditional
civil rights groups during his court appointment under Bush
in the 1992. Thomas recalls the atmosphere around his
appointment as conflicted because he steadfastly refused to
accept the liberal pieties that have done so much damage to
blacks in America. As a result, Thomas believes; they
conspired to destroy him. In turn, he has met adversity with
angry defiance and iron resolve (Ibid). A decade and a half
after his controversial confirmation, Thomas has not budged
one centimeter from his relentless public and private war
against civil rights leaders and liberal Democrats
(Hutchinson, 2007).
Thomas does not believe that his ideologically driven
decisions would be detrimental to African-Americans. He
strongly believes that the liberal establishment misleads
blacks by equating conservatism to racism. Thomas believes
that racism and conservatism are mutually incompatible. Yet
conservatives have targeted blacks for dehumanizing
stereotypes, devaluation, profiling, criminal sanctions,
defunding, disfranchisement, and derision. As a result, most
blacks connected to their legacy believe that racism is
ingrained in conservatism (Ibid).
Justice Thomas continues to be branded as a fake,
inauthentic, self-hating, man by civil rights and other
progressive groups. They believe he has sold his soul for a
relatively well-paying, life-long, job. He is perceived as a
Judas and traitor to African-Americans (Ibid). Deservedly,
Thomas received greater scrutiny than the civil rights icon
(Thurgood Marshal) he replaced.
135
Thomas’s judicial votes and opinions have been in

lockstep with the ultraconservative Antonio Scalia. In turn,
civil rights groups have labeled Thomas as Scalia’s lackey
(Ibid). As a Supreme Court Justice, he has not distinguished
himself as an independent mind and responsive to the
inequities and harsh conditions experienced African-
Americans and other minorities. The only reflection on these
realities is the personal hardships he faced early in his life in
Georgia were documented in his book My Grandfather’s Son
and scrutiny incurred during the confirmation process.
Thomas’ uncompassionate opinions and decisions towards
social justice for the underprivileged contradict the racial
hardships he encountered in the Jim Crow south.
At an event sponsored by the right-wing Federalist
Society, Justice Thomas lashed out at social justice and civil
rights organizations as conspirators who attack him as part
of a plot to undermine the highest court as an institution
(Milhauser, 2011). Yet, there is mounting evidence that
Thomas’ conflict of interest activities has personally
undermined the third branch of the federal government.
Respectfully, he has been accused of the following:
1. Unethical Fundraising
2. Failure to Disclose
3. Conflict of Interest
4. Financial Stake in His Own Decisions
5. Discredited Understanding of the
Constitution and Rewriting It to Fit
Conservative Perspectives (Ibid).
Thomas’ abridgement of judicial ethics is profound. He
failed to report that his wife had earned a fortune working as
a right-wing lobbyist for the Heritage Foundation, who has
a vested interest in Thomas’ conservative vote. Federal
judges and justices are required by law to disclose their
spouse’s income to prevent persons or organizations from
funneling money through a judge’s wife to influence their

opinion. Thomas’ votes unequivocally aligned with what his

wife is lobbying for.
In the infamous Citizen United decision, Ginny Thomas,
whose husband submitted the deciding vote made a fortune
(Ibid). Her corporate backers could now spend billions on
elections to buttress their interests. Multinational
corporations with the help of the Republican and Democratic
conservatives whose campaigns they fund can now buy and
own a federal government that would sustain subsidies and
tax cuts to them at the expense of disadvantaged minorities
and the poor.
Evidently, Thomas has fallen into a deep ethical hole
beyond failing to disclose his wife’s income as a
conservative lobbyist, lecturer, and organizer for 20 years.
He failed to disclose the $100,000 Citizen United in-kind
contribution spent in 1991 to support his nomination. The
money was spent to ensure his confirmation through
advertisements repudiating criticisms from civil rights
organizations and individuals like Anita Hill. As a result,
Justice Thomas was unable and unwilling to put aside his
bias in the favor of Citizen United, the foundation that
secured his confirmation. Deceptively, he hid that conflict-
of-interest before and after casting the deciding vote in favor
of his patrons (Karoli, 2011).
Besides voting in favor of his patrons, Justice Thomas
with his archconservative colleagues pursued decisions to
challenge the constitutionality of the following:
1. Federal Child Labor Law
2. Civil Rights Act of 1964
3. Americans with Disabilities Act
4. Age Discrimination in the Employment Act
5. Sick Leave Portions of the Family and
Medical Leave Act
6. Freedom of Access to Clinics Act
7. Minimum Wage and Maximum Hour Laws
(Ibid)
137
If Thomas and his right-wing peers on the court have

their way, the nation’s laws would return to mid-nineteenth
century at best. Social justice, discrimination, and inequality
would be pervasive. The benefactors of their decision would
be greedy, transnational, corporations, their lobbyist, and
conservatives they subsidize. Their freedom to use predatory
practices without restraint would be achieved at the expense
of democracy, fairness, inclusion, social justice and
progress.
For the last five years, Justice Thomas has remained
reticent in court arguments before the Supreme Court. His
prejudice against social justice and civil rights remained a
consistent feature of his rigidly conservative decisions,
opinions, and private speeches to right-wing groups. Thomas
thinks that oral arguments and discussions will not change
anything (Litwick, 2011). The application of justice, as he
sees it, should be “by and for” conservatives.
Being the deciding vote in the Citizen United decision,
Justice Thomas was invited to attend a victory party in Palm
Springs, California, organized by Charles and David Koch,
prominent organizers and financiers of the Birth Society and
ultraconservative causes. Thomas failed to either disclose
this off-the-book's conference. In addition, he failed to
disclose five years of his financial forms (Ibid). The problem
with Thomas is his binary view seeing conservatism as an
absolute good and progressivism as an absolute evil
irrespective of its majority support. This view seems both
plutocratic and fascist, borne out of self-hatred, devaluation,
and aborted intellectual development.
Justice Thomas holds the conservative view that racial
injustices had to be limited to individuals who can prove that
they personally were victimized. He staunchly rejects the
argument that racism is a pervasive social phenomenon
associate with power, wealth, and status. Thomas accepts the
conservative argument that racism is an equal opportunity
oppressor who victimizes whites as readily as blacks. In
138
other words, he believes that reverse racism with blacks

victimizing whites is as prevalent as racism against blacks.
To Justice Thomas and his conservative backers, racial
fairness cannot be achieved at the expense of whites for three
centuries slavery and repression that included lynching and
racist rules that permeated every aspect of the lives of
African-Americans. They believe that white Americans
should not be punished for the racist sins of their fathers and
forefathers. Therefore, Thomas staunchly opposes
affirmative action or any governmental intervention
benefiting blacks over whites irrespective of the growing gap
in opportunity, access, resources, expenditures,
employment, and circumstance. As a result, some
progressives have called Justice Thomas “a white
supremacist in black face” (SkepticalBrotha, 2007).
Justice Thomas views affirmative action as a “narcotic
of dependency” (Ibid). But his up bring in the Jim Crow
South and dire poverty he experienced contradicts aversion
against affirmative action or any preferential program
designed to uplift African-Americans. Another irony is that
Thomas benefited from numerous affirmative actions taken
by nuns and other educators to help him attend Yale Law
School as a result of a racial quota. Hypocritically, he found
affirmative action and other preferential programs that
benefited him destructive to the character of black people
(Ibid). Maybe it did destroy his character and empathy for
the disadvantaged and oppressed African-Americans.
By undoing, the work of Thurgood Marshall, the civil
rights icon and the first black appointed to the Supreme
Court, Justice Thomas is doing more damage to the hopes
and dreams of black people than any white conservative
being considered by President W. H. Bush. Once seated,
Thomas gives cover to the Court’s white ultraconservatives
and the shift to the right. He did dispel the myth that “Any
black person on the Supreme Court is better for us than any
white person” (Ibid).
139
Justice Thomas has become an arch type of inequality

and retrogressive evaluator of human rights. He has become
a mediocre, ethically challenged, member of the Supreme
Court. His decisions and opinions have been integral in the
Supreme Court’s retreat from protecting the rights of the
poor, women, the disadvantaged, minorities, and the
powerless. Thomas’ “Stephen Fetch it” loyalty to the far
right contradicts the racial insults and deprivations of his
Georgia beginnings where he, and his family experienced
dire poverty and injustice. Unfortunately, race and self-
hatred seemingly robbed him of any empathy for those who
are not patrons of wealthy right-wingers and their corporate
interest.
Thomas Sowell, Reagan’s Professorial
Apologist and Guru of Black Accommodation,
Retrenchment and Regression
Sowell is an economist who provides cover for the
Reagan Administration and Republican conservatives for
more than thirty years. A Hoover Institute professor, he
gained prominence during the 1980s for his blame the victim
philosophy (See Image 61). As an accommodationist and
apologist, Sowell stepped forward along with other African-
American conservatives to praise the Reagan Administration
policies. These policies would reinforce inequalities,
injustices, gaps in income and wealth, and strengthen the
plutocracy. Sowell leads African-American conservatives in
condemning affirmative action, spending for social
programs, the Civil Rights Movement, New Deal, and the
Great Society. He bombastically attacked the NAACP and
forecasted that Black Reaganism would provide salvation to
blacks (Marable, 1983).
Progressives considered Sowell, Ronald Reagan’s
favorite “House Nigger.” In the 1960s, he became a
Goldwater Republican and a bitter opponent of the welfare
state, Black Studies, and Black campus activism. By the
mid-1970s, Sowell publicly repudiated most of the ideals
140
and visions of the Civil Rights Movement. Government

intervention on behalf of blacks denied employment because
of his race was another progressive action Sowell opposed.
His prescription for the education of the poor is strict
discipline and mandatory expulsions. A myth that inspired
the Joe Clark Movie entitled “Lean on me” distorts the
reality that this his modeled behavior violates of safety codes
and statues to endanger children’s lives and well-being.

Stockholm Syndrome

Sowell considered the civil rights leaders as “light-

skinned elites” whose policies favor their white liberal
friends. Capitalism as opposed to confrontation, Sowell
argues, is the vehicle for black acceptance and upward
141
mobility. Government giveaways and insurances of civil

rights, he holds, is not an answer. It is the problem (Ibid).
As the most well written leader of the Black Reaganites,
Sowell argued against affirmative action prior to the Reagan
administration that nullified most of these programs.
Actually, affirmative action was installed by another
conservative Republican president, Richard M. Nixon, to
placate black demands for inclusion and qualms about
discrimination. Sowell argues that affirmative action not
only fails to achieve its stated objectives, but that it actually
backfires. He insists that it undermine “the legitimacy of
black achievement by making them looks like gifts from the
government” (Sowell, 1976; Steinberg, 1995).
Actually, the problem with affirmative action is not in its
intent but in its practice. It becomes a negotiated practice to
reduce the number and legal cost respecting employment
discrimination. With the Civil Rights Laws of 1964 and 1965
in place and being enforced along with state prohibitions,
employers faced the growing cost of cases that race and sex
restricted or banned employment and promotion. Prior to the
legal achievements of the Civil Rights Movement,
employers unquestionably decided on the basis of race, sex,
age, limitations, etc., who gets what. Black Americans were
locked-out of white-collar and professional employment
outside of their segregated communities. Women were
relegated to the teaching and nursing professions outside of
being homemakers. The white male elites and their apologist
favored a return to the days when they had the unbridled
freedom to discriminate without government interference
and sanctions.
Sowell, along with other black conservatives, contends
that preferential treatment arouses paroxysms of self-doubt
among its recipients. The noted Reaganite, Sowell is the
darling, creator, and sounding board for racially regressive
ideas toted by Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck, among other
radical right-wing Republicans.

Comparison Between the “Uncle Tom”

Caricature and Black Conservatism
The “Uncle Tom” Caricature is derived from Harriet
Breecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Tom is a
faithful, happily submissive black servant. The caricature is
eager to serve, docile and non-threatening to whites. He is
psychologically dependent on whites for approval. Despite
being a model slave, Tom is sold, cursed, slapped, kicked,
flogged, worked like a horse, and then beaten to death
(Pilgrim, 2000).
Many African-Americans consider “Uncle Tom” label a
slur because it refers to that person as humiliatingly
subservient or deferential to white people. Contemporary use
of the slur has two variations. Version “A” refers to a Black
male who is docile, loyal to whites, content as a servant and
who pleasingly accommodates himself to a lowly status.
Version “B” refers to ambitious Black males who
subordinate self and collective dignity to achieve a more
favorable material status over other out-group members. The
use of “Uncle Tom” or “Cornbread” among other slurs is
primarily used within the black community to describe those
that bow to hegemonic subordination. Usage is
synonymous with being called an “Oreo,” “sellout” “uncle,”
“race-traitor,” and “White man’s negro” (Ibid).
`Black political conservatives like Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, the Republican
presidential and Senate candidate; Shelby Steele, the
professor and author; Thomas Sowell, the economist; and
Walter Williams, the neighborhood activist, have all been
labeled as “Uncle Toms.” These figures oppose affirmative
action and were accused of pleasing whites to elevate
themselves socially, politically, and economically. They
publicly claimed that crime and welfare were black
phenomena, affirmative action is reverse discrimination, and
that racism is not the cause of problems facing African-
143
Americans (Ibid). These men best represent Version “B”

Uncle Toms.
“Uncle Tom” Sowell
Thomas Sowell is more like the “Uncle Tom” of Harriet
Beecher Stowe than non-principled stage production.
Stowe’s “Tom” is portrayed as loyal, non-principled,
rebellious, and content with status-quota racial inequities but
not weak or docile. This caricature’s devotion to his white
master is superseded only by his devotion to a white good.
Sowell is more secular but quite deferential to white
conservative ideas and ideology.
Sowell is an ambitious African-American who
rationalizes and apologizes for racism and racist views to
achieve a more favorable status within the dominant society.
He is a member of Reagan’s Black Conservatives. Sowell is
also an influential contributor to the “blame the victim”
views of blacks held by conservatives such as Shelby Steele,
Walter Williams, and Rush Limbaugh, among others.
Sowell is an American economist, social critic, political
commentator, author and a Senior Fellow of the Hoover
Institute at Stanford University since 1980. His teaching
career prior to the Milton Friedman Senior Fellowship at
Sanford University includes Rutgers University, Howard
University, Cornell University, Brandeis University, and
UCLA (Sowell, 2011; Hoover Institution, 2011).
Unlike the “Uncle Tom” caricature, Sowell is a rabid
intellectual who has written thirty books since acquiring the
senior fellowship at Sanford University. Obviously, the
occupational support system supports extensive research and
writing as opposed to teaching. Numerous research
assistants not involved in burdensome teaching assignments
use class technological support found in the “Harvard of the
West Coast” makes writing and books more numerous.
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was one of the most influential
intellectual causes of the Civil War and abolition of slavery.
Thomas Sowell’s work is among the leading theoretical
144
sources for the conservative argument against government

assistance in closing racial gaps. Government intervention,
he argues, is more counterproductive or destructive than
constructive. But, if it was not for the governments ban on
slavery, there is no assurance that this immoral institution
would officially cease by the 20th century.
The federal government did not intervene with the
enslavement of blacks for humanitarian reasons; it did so to
preserve the nation. The South had declared itself
independent, unless slavery and political control could
expand westward and into the Caribbean. Slaves were
emancipated if they fled behind Union lines thereby
undermining the production of cotton needed to fund the
South’s war of independence.
All actions, activities, laws and court orders are
compromises between representatives of highly politically
diverse populations. Conservatives and progressives and
their interest are represented in all government actions. For
every progressive action authorized there are numerous
conservative constraints and undermining provisions. This is
why “good intention” laws and legal decisions in practice
have contradictory and serendipity consequences. Therefore,
governmental action is not absolutely an answer to a
problem. In numerous cases, it is the problem. But, the
consequences of inaction would lead to prolonged conflict,
instability, which is contrary to economic growth and
development, and chaos. Faith in the government or so-
called free market may be equally imperfect and is
problematic as all human activities and organizations.
Sowell’s Background and Controversial Views
Sowell rose from humble means and family background
and tested into Harvard University. After he achieved a
Bachelor of Art's degree, Sowell attended Columbia
University where he earned a Master of Arts in economics.
He received a Ph.D., in this discipline at the University of
145
Chicago in 1968 (Graglia, 2001; Sowell, 2011; YouTube,

1995).
Sowell is described as a black conservative. Personally,
he shuns labels but considers himself more of a libertarian
and less than a protector of the elites. He does see himself as
a protector of the American enterprise system that produces
enormous wealth for the dominant class. His writings are
featured in conservative publications such as Forbes
Magazine and Wall Street Journal, among others. He
provides a conservative argument against liberal media bias,
judicial activism, partial-birth abortion, the minimum wage,
affirmative action, government bureaucracy, and multi-
culturalism (Townhall.com, 2004, 2011, 2005, 2004).
An intellectually astute accommodationist, Sowell
emphasizes the need for empirical evidence and objective
assessment of data in the field of social policy and
economics. To him, race is the most distorted topic. He
believes that sweeping generalizations, wishful thinking,
and distorted or false evidence have corrupted this
discussion and writings, herein (Sowell, 1980). Sowell
believes that social policy is made on the basis of arbitrary
and sweeping assumptions from selected data and
ideological paradigms with sufficient evidence (Sowell,
2004).
With the help of the enormous pool of technical and
human resources available at the Hoover Institution,
Stanford University, Sowell could implement his expansive
analytical approach to historical process to secure the
mountains of empirical evidence needed for objective
assessment of sociological phenomenon and social policy.
He cut across centuries of history and many different people
to draw his assertions. Sowell’s method includes comparing
nations and minority groups within nations. This method is
evident in his investigation of race and intelligence. He finds
the 15-point IQ gap between blacks and whites as usual
between and within ethnic groups. As a result, Sowell refutes
146
movements to ban testing in the name of self-esteem or

fighting racism (Sowell, 2004).
Sowell vehemently argues that government action is
often hurts those that it purports to help contrary to “good
intentions.” He strongly refutes the notion that government
helps or saves minorities from Jim Crow conditions and
treatment. Instead, from his perspective, government has
negatively intervened to thwart free market transactions
between races to raise the cost of doing business, dampen
profits and create huge inefficiencies to local economies
(Sowell, 1975). He argues that government which created
the wasteful duplicity of segregation would through its
intervention escalate more waste. Sowell shows little
understanding of the fact that government which represents
a strong interest in a democratic society will be compelled
by these parties to intervene to buttress their interest. In the
real world of politics, those arguing for government
intervention seem to be oblivious of intervention on behalf
of there or campaign contributor’s interest. For the most part,
governmental intervention regarding integration and civil
rights has been successful and integral to social change and
prohibition of undesirable behavior that detrimental the
well-being of a civil society.
His libertarian-conservative theories draw upon a mass
of historical data to question the logic and priorities of those
who call for even more government intervention and
spending to solve the problem's blacks, other minorities, and
poor face (Ibid). Sowell fosters deregulation and tax cuts to
the wealthiest Americans and biggest businesses he
considers job creators. Actually, the larger and wealthier the
firm the less jobs it creates and more likely it will outsource
employment and import manufactured goods from emerging
foreign markets.
Expanding his conservative argument to racial
discrepancies, Sowell argues that black progress was
demonstrably better before the escalating welfare state and
147
affirmative action era as supplements to the War on Poverty

and Civil Right Acts (Sowell, 2004). He fails to take into
account the higher unemployment and family instability
rates resulting as a byproduct of the transformation of the
economy from manufacturing to information technology,
which requires a much smaller, highly educated, workforce.
Sowell relies too heavily on the so-called welfare state as the
cause of unemployment and despair. He ignores the
lingering disparities derived from the legacy of slavery that
effects African-Americans’ access to more marketable
education and readiness herein, as well as employment once
the formal education process is completed.
Education, according to Sowell, is something that
students either acquire or not. He believes that personal
responsibility and choice are vital in getting the most out of
the education process (Sowell, 2009). The importance of
individual responsibility and choice should not negate the
far-reaching impact of the lack of external resources and
support.
In the worst of circumstances, achievement remains the
exception rather than the rule. Sowell also does not
acknowledge that the great escape from personal
responsibility lead by and a pervasive norm of the larger
community (Ibid). It is not solely a minority problem but
rather an American problem.
Sowell blames the decline of education at high
performing all-black public and private schools on the
Brown desegregation ruling. Desegregation was the
imperious for middle-class blacks to seek better housing and
schools for their children in integrated suburbs. In doing so,
they abandoned lower class African-Americans in the
ghettos. The middle-class flight took many of the aspiring
students, professional role models, most articulate and
literate, relatively wealthiest and politically empowered
away from their base. Without proper direction, role models,
and voice, the remaining black residents of the older urban
148
communities could not strive off crime, poverty and decay,

which infected the population and all its institutions
including neighborhood schools. Sowell places more blame
on desegregation prompted by government intervention than
institutional racism that encouraged middle- class blacks to
pursue superficial materialism and narcissistic status than
service to the needy.
Black progress, Sowell argues, was better in the five-
year period prior to the 1964 Civil Rights Act than the
timeframe following this legislation. To him, it meant that
government intervention prohibits continuous progress.
Black progress, he points out, was a long-standing trend
during the World War II period prior to government-
sanctioned desegregation. Contrary to Sowell’s view of the
“good old days” of white supremacy, it was a conservative
Republican administration under Richard M. Nixon, which
initiated disguised or open racial quotas and headcounts
under the rubric of affirmative action. The President and his
Administration may have ingenuously trapped liberals and
Democratic supporters in a controversial dysfunction to
equal opportunity. It did under succeeding Republican
administrations succeed in making affirmative black
progress “null and void.”
Sowell argues that black progress is stymied, and
poverty is increased under frequent government intervention
used by liberals but fails to hold conservatives accountable
for their dysfunctional intervention, respectively. After
1964, government intervention, welfare or transfer payments
were increased, and Sowell believes they are positively
correlated and caused solely by liberal policies like the “War
on Poverty.” Consequently, he argues that black efforts to
pull themselves above the poverty line became less
attainable. Youth employment and crime, he points out, did
not spiral upward until the Welfare State and affirmative
action were in place (Sowell, 1983, 1981, 2004).
149
As an icon of conservatism, Sowell supports the “law

and order” theme of his group’s ideology that weakening
sanctions against antisocial behavior leads to more crime. He
believes that this phenomenon is evident in the 1960s when
judges and political elites condone an atmosphere of
lawlessness in the black community to create a harvest of
social problems. The rising murder rate in the 1960s was
used as the empirical evidence supporting his argument.
Sowell correlates this rise with increases in plea-bargaining,
lighter sentences, early releases, restrictions on police
procedures and probation (Sowell, 1980). Obviously, the
civil disobedience and rights movement overwhelmed the
court and correction system as morally corrupt laws and
social injustices were being challenged.
Crime within the black community really spiraled when
conservatives in law enforcement and organized crime
conspired together to overwhelm these communities with
illegal and addictive drugs to undermine the quest for social
justice and self-determination. The weakening of social
controls as a reason for addiction and crime is a ploy from
the conspiracy to flood drugs into black communities to
justify stereotypes and spending more tax dollars for the
world’s largest correction system than provide comparable
education resources for all children. The cost seems to justify
further criminalization of African-American and
privatization of the corrections system to facilitate profits at
the expense of black freedom and development. More tax
money is invested in socializing the nonwhite population to
be wards of the state in the corrections and welfare systems.
With criminal records, fewer blacks, browns, and poor
citizens are employable and able to support their offspring
and more likely to rape, pillage, and vandalize their
communities. Over criminalization is creating more welfare
clients. In additions, prisons have become colleges for
criminology, teaching inmates advanced criminal methods
and techniques. They, in turn, become more brutal and
150
dangerous criminals. Sowell fails to see how his “law and

order” ideology increases rather than mitigates lawlessness,
brutality, and dependency.
The many problems identified with blacks in modern
society; Sowell argues are not unique among American
ethnic groups, historically. He sees the same patterns of
pathology among white peasant immigrants to urban slums
during the Industrial Revolution. He holds that these
newcomers’ breakdown many of the social mores and
community controls that maintained urban stability in the
past. The tradeoff for social problems incurred is the benefit
of entering, acculturating, and accommodating to the urban
and regional economy. Once adjustments are made, Sowell
argues, they achieve a higher standard of life (Sowell, 1981).
Sowell argument that the difficulties with crime,
schooling, substance abuse, etc., faced by blacks are not
unique and intervention on their behalf will only impede
progress and the search for lasting solutions (Ibid). He and
other conservative icons claim that white ethnic immigrants
who also faced discrimination advanced “up the social
ladder” without such assistance. From this perspective, it
would be counterproductive and discriminatory to assist
blacks. Sowell’s supportive interpretation of history and
social problems supports this conservative perspective.
Social problems, Sowell claims, which blacks in
America’s cities face have been exaggerated. He believes
that crime, and violence was worse when white ethnic were
the dominant residents of the cities in the nineteenth-century.
The ghettos have always been identified with excessive
crime, violence, overcrowding filth, substance abuse, bad
teaching and more dismal learning. Sowell’s assertion that
the 15 percent IQ gap, which persists between blacks and
whites today, was common between white urban ethnics and
their higher status peers in the nineteenth-century to pre-
World War II America is valid. Yet with statewide
assessment testing, minimum curriculum standards and
151
funding, the disparity today is unacceptable by today’s

standards. Today, taxpayers and politicians representing
them accept the same educational results for each dollar
spent or holding teachers accountable for the deficit.
Sowell does not appreciate the fact that education alone
cannot overcome the lack of familiar, social, and community
support for the majority of underprivileged students. For
African-Americans, skin color persists as an identifier for
discriminatory treatment and a barrier to access regardless of
their education or quest herein. Contrary to Sowell’s
conservative perspective, government intervention in
respect to the well-being and equal treatment of its citizens
makes it necessary to enforce prohibitions based on skin
color and subsidize initiatives needs to close the
achievement gap.
Government intervenes to ensure fairness by enforcing
laws and sanctions against discrimination and subsidizing
initiatives to close achievement gaps. An opponent to such
intervention, Sowell argues that fairness, social justice, and
equality sought by blacks and other underprivileged groups
are politically artificial, vague or murky, and arbitrary and
weighted constructs. He perceives that equality as
constructed by liberal interventionist too often and
incorrectly implies common results. Social justice, Sowell
implies, is a futile quest to end exempt blacks from the same
kind of discrimination faced by white ethnic groups and
other scorned groups in the past. Fairness is the most
politically loaded construct; Sowell argues, because it
appeals to liberal and their dependents seeking handouts. He
believes that none of these constructs regarding fairness is
factual (Sowell, 2010).
Sowell agrees, “Life is unfair.” “Differences perceived
as unfair, he argues, already exist for many reasons.” He
defines discrimination as creating a difference that does not
ordinarily exist. Yet, a disparity in outcome is not
automatically a result of discrimination. By doing so, Sowell
152
argues; one has to illogically ignore the incredible range of

reasons for disparities between individuals and groups
(Ibid).
Comparisons are made between socio-politically
constructed and naturally occurring discrimination,
particularly those that are geographic. Sowell finds that
climate and navigable waterways does make a difference in
wealth and outcomes for individuals and nations involved in
trade and commerce (Ibid). He failed to acknowledge that
the quest for fairness and removal of discriminatory barriers
to participation in all aspects of a nation’s life makes our
democracy exceptional. His arguments rationalize and
mitigate any guilt for discriminatory behavior that blocks the
life chances of people because of their color. Bigots who
monopolize wealth, income and privilege find comfort in
Sowell’s views, which rationalize inequities, discriminatory
treatment and social injustices cast upon African-Americans.
From Self-Hatred to Black-On-Black Crime
As identified, high profile and prominent black
conservative, like Ben Carson, Sheriff David Clarke,
Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell, suffer from the
“Stockholm syndrome.” They identify with the oppressor
and victimize the oppressed (See Image 62). These black
conservatives’ perspective parallels that of the low-end
“black-on-black” criminals in their hatred of people that look
like them. The high end black conservatives demonstrate
contempt for the developmental aspirations and rights to
equitable treatment for those in their racial group. The lower
end black hater disrespects and rejects the material and
personal gains acquired of those in their race. Both commit
different forms of violence against their own race. High
enders chose means to betray those that look like the. Low
enders attack other blacks using guns or assaults to rob
and/or rape them of the security within their own person. In
153
effect, both are black-on-black criminals who best serve

white hegemony.
Black conservatives, like Ben Carson and Clarence
Thomas, and black street criminals that terrorize and
vandalize African-American communities and residents are
self-alienated persons. The difference is that the former users
and their supporters use systemic violence on blacks while
the latter criminal personalizes violence on black people.
Both are separated from one’s real self and the collective
interest of their oppressed racial group. They are motivated
by and have internalized alien values, perspectives and other
characteristics. Both seek to achieve integration and
definition by claiming an artificial identity characterized by
the dominant society’s unidimensional stereotypes (Wilson,
1990).

Black conservatives and street criminals prey on black

people because they hate their real self, they perceive it as
an enemy and seek to obliterate it. They idolize their
oppressors. In turn, both groups idolize falsified Into-
European standard of success to the point of rejecting their
own reality, their real selves, and inherited ethnic
characteristics. These self-alienated blacks relate to other
blacks in ways they perceive that whites relate to this group.
In effect, they become the oppressor and Black America’s
biggest nightmare in the service of the Euro-American
majority (Ibid). They act as the overseers assigned to keep
blacks in their place, cursed to be “Servants of the Servants
of God,” and subjected by their existence to racial atrocities
for threatening their masters’ “Manifest Destiny.”

Chapter 9
Mega-Churches, Narcissism, Greed and Poverty
The Compatibility of Faith and

Seeking Limitless Wealth
Spirituality and materialism are not compatible in the
eyes of the Lord, the Messiah and his followers. Jesus, God’s
son in the flesh, was not born to material wealth nor acquired
these riches. He did acquire spiritual riches for his followers.
Jesus was born with spiritual wealth. He teaches us that his
Father cherishes spiritual wealth acquired by following his
laws, living in peace and with love of humanity, his lesser
creatures and nature he created. Earthly wealth and riches
not shared with all God’s creatures is incompatible with his
teachings.
Unfortunately, too many African-Americans who are
devoid of wealth are taken for granted by Euro-Americans
and believe that Christianity will ensure these secular
materials (See Image 63). God, as they see it, will provide
them with riches to meet their worldly needs and desires.
God and faith in him is perceived as being the servant of
those worldly needs and desires. But, an undistorted view of
the gospel teaches that “He is Not Our Servant, We Are His.”
What the former distortion has done to Black Americans
have made them functionally “Servant of the Servants of
God.” They are living out the debunked “Curse of Ham.”
While white Christians are being taught “God helps those
that help themselves,” the Christianity derived for blacks
from slavery teaches them that prayer will lift them from
poverty to a life of wealth.
Prosperity Gospel Versus Christ’s Message
156
The culprit in the misuse of Christ’s message is the

Prosperity Gospel or so-called religious “Gospel of Wealth
(See Image 64).” It is known as the “Word of Faith.” The
prosperity ministers’ followers are told to use God (Go
Questions, 2012-2015). This gospel glorifies greed or
avarice. Yet, based on biblical scriptures, the prosperity
gospel is one of the grandest deceptions of all time. It has
convenience 61 percent of the Christians surveyed to believe
that God wants people to be prosperous. Thirty-one percent
of the sample agreed that “if you give your money to God,
God will bless you with more money (Bosch, 2014).
Therefore, donations to their ministries would assure that
God would meet your needs to prosper many times greater
than your donation (See Image 65). In turn, the prosperity
ministers bought lavished homes or mansions, expensive
cars, private jets, etc., for themselves.

The critics of the prosperity gospel perceive this

theology as a “scam.” They point to 1 Timothy 6:5, v.9,
“These men of corrupt minds supposed godliness was a
means of gain and their desire for riches was a trap that
brought them into ruin and destruction.” In other words, the
pursuit of money is the root of all kinds of evils. Jesus and
eleven of twelve disciples did not pursue wealth. Judas, the
158
exception, traitor and the one that took money to turnover

Jesus for crucifixion was the only disciple to pursue wealth
(Ibid).
According to the prosperity teaching, God could not
work until we release him to do so. In other words, these
teaching prohibit God from working on his own. God, the
Father, under this pedagogy, is not the Lord of all. Faith
purchased by gifts to his church and ministry is the trigger to
his blessing of prosperity, health and longevity (Ibid).
In contrast, the Bible warns against stressing the
importance of and pursuing wealth. According to 1 Timothy
3:3 and Hebrew 13:5, true believers are free from the love of
money. According to Matthew 6:19, Jesus said, “Do not
store up for yourself treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.” The
contradiction between the gospel of Jesus Christ and
prosperity teaching is best summed up in words attested to
Jesus in Matthew 6:24, “You cannot serve both God and
money” (Ibid). Yet, the prosperity gospel is exploding in
popularity among Christians across the world (Zavada,
2015).
Referred to as “Word of Faith,” the prosperity gospel
promises its followers health, wealth and happiness through
donations to their ministries. The ministers readily use these
donations to acquire expensive private planes, Rolls
Royce’s, mansions and custom-made clothes. They preach
that Christians should boldly ask God for such luxuries.
According to Luke 12:15 in the New International Version
(NIV), this pedagogy is a violation of the gospel that states
“Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life
does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Yet, the
“Word of Faith” preachers argue that wealth is a sign of the
Lord’s favor. They hold that material gain is proof that they
have tapped into the Lord’s riches. In contrast, according to
Luke 9:25, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole
world and yet lose or forfeit their very self?” (Ibid).
159
Prosperity preachers claim that material goods are signs

of godliness. Yet, according to Luke 18:24 (NIV), “how hard
it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” In other
words, wealth or its accrued riches does not impress God.
Jesus understands that wealth makes one dependent on
money rather than God and his commandments (Ibid). Yet,
prosperity preachers misuse Matthew 6:19-21; 13:44-46;
John 6:35; 14:6 to present Jesus as the means to the greater
ends of material health, wealth and happiness. Yet according
to John 5:14, believers are forbidden from replacing God’s
revealed will for worldly prosperity in his or Jesus name
(Kennedy, 2012).
The prosperity preachers misuse 2 Corinthian 8:17 to
encourage adherents to give in in order to get (Ibid). They
also misuse John 14:14, “You may ask me for anything in
my name, and I will do it.” The prosperity ministries believe
that Christians can achieve greater financial wealth by
praying to their alters. Yet, Matthew 19:24, representing
Jesus’ words, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye
of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the
Kingdom of God” (Mitchell, 2014). As the scriptures warn,
the pursuit of wealth replaces adherents to God’s will and
words herein, respectively.
The prosperity preachers point out that according to John
10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I
have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
To their believers this verse of the Bible suggest that God
loves his followers and wants them to have good things. The
latter gains are seen as material. A more conventional
interpretation is that Jesus does not offer his followers
neither an extension of physical life nor increase of material
possessions, but a life lived as a higher level of obedience to
God’s will and reflecting his glory (Ibid).
The prosperity gospel misinterprets James 4:2, “You do
not have because you do not ask God.” They see this verse
saying “you have not prayed enough.” Those of Creflo
160
Dollar add that “When we pray, God has no choice but to

make our prayers come to pass.” Yet, the verse that follows
James 4:2 says “When you ask, you do not receive, because
you ask with wrong motives, that may spend what you get
on your pleasures.” As a whole, prosperity preachers misuse
Mark 10:29-30 to interpret that if you, will receive 100 fold
what you give to their ministries. Yet, Mark 10:31
encourages giving from the heart rather than for personal
gain. In contrast, prosperity preachers misuse Malachi 3:10
to claim that God will reward those that set forth the larges
tithes with exponential favors. But, that verse actually arises
out of a particular historical situation for Israel where
donations were so poor to priest that they had to leave their
priestly duties to farm for their survival (Ibid).
The Televangelist Creflo Dollar was not fighting for
necessities to survive, at no point, when they offered to buy
their pastors a $65 million private Gulfstream G 650 jet (See
Image 66). To raise this sum, they asked 200,000 followers
to donate an additional $300 each to fund this effort. They
asked their followers to strive for the trappings of luxury
they could little afford to prove that they are blessed
spiritually. They, like others of the prosperity gospel believe
that the Bible tells us that wealth is a sign of God’s grace and
favor (Kuruvilla, 2015).

Drawing the Poor, Disadvantaged and

Disfranchised People of Color
Black Americans who have experienced poverty,
disadvantages and disfranchisement are drawn to prosperity
goals that leave them poorer and their preachers excessively
rich. Parishioners are likely to find encouragement and hope,
including pride, in a pastor who preaches prosperity. These
church leaders are adorned with gifts and monetary
donations from their congregations. These pastors live in
ostentatious wealth at the expense of church members. They
have, in effect, bartered their spiritual authority away for
self-serving riches (Mohler, 2010). The moneychangers
have triumphed over Jesus, the son of God, who was
crucified for dumping the trays of money that were collected
in the name of the Father but served the affluent priestly class
and its political patrons. The success of the moneychangers
(See Image 67) then and now elevated greed over the will of
God to spread his word and show charity to the
disadvantaged and marginalized.

According to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (See Image 68), the

Hall of Fame Basketball Player, African-Americans, the
most marginalized group in society, have been duped by the
so-called prosperity gospel’s sales pitch. He argues that God
is not impressed by wealth and size of donations to improve
the financial status of those that foster ostentatious luxury
upon their ministry. Abdul-Jabbar holds that the shift from
the war on poverty in the 1960s to the war on the poor today
is due to adherence to the prosperity gospel. Poverty has
become more acute and widespread as aspiring blacks have
overinvested in gifts to the church so that God would
financially reward them, exponentially (Ibid). This is, in
effect, a Ponzi scheme that benefits the moneychangers that
corrupt the church and its mission at the expense of
congregates and the most disadvantaged in the larger
community.

Dr. Robert M. Franklin, author of Crisis in the Village,

holds that the prosperity gospel is the greatest threat to black
churches. He believes that gospel has created a “mission
crisis” whereby church leaders have shifted their focus from
the achievements of the African-American community to
individual monetary success. Franklin further argues that
black megachurches that follow the prosperity focus are on
163
the rise. The mega-congregations have “social, political and

economic power that is unprecedented in black church
history to the chagrin of the least advantaged in its larger
community (Kwon, 2007).
Franklin writes that under the influence of the prosperity
gospel movement the black church assimilated into a culture
that is hostile to marginalized people, such as the poor, the
HIV-infected, homosexuals and immigrants. He points out
that one-fourth of the black community lives in poverty.
Rather than aid and uplift the poor, megachurches are
building locally insulated local kingdoms. Eddie S. Glaude,
the William S. Todd Professor of Religion and Chairman of
the African-American Studies at Princeton University,
agrees with Franklin that the prosperity gospel movement
professes a gospel of greed that is killing the value of the
black church in respect to solving the problems of the least
of us (Glaude, 2015).
Glaude points out that our fate is sealed by black pastors
preaching the need for prosperity which locks us into gilded
cages forged by competition and selfishness. This gospel is
deepening inequality throughout our society. It privatizes
social misery and a cultural mean-spiritedness that
sanctioned selfishness and greed. Whereas, black
Christianity succumbs to the prosperity gospel movement it
condemns the black church to its death as a viable
community institution (Ibid).
The “Black Lives Matter” movement has called upon the
megachurch to redirect their mission to the public good and
young people not in their churches. They encountered a
traditional black church that is too close to the white power
structure to change it. These churches have become
appendages of status-quo politics. Their congregations are
led by a cadre of individual black people who get positioned
in white-dominated institutions (Otiko, 2015). These
churches following behind the prosperity ministry have lost
164
their way by being more concerned about material issues

rather than social problems (Ibid).
The prosperity gospel is a gospel of bling that is devoted
to the assimilation of personal greed, obsessive materialism,
wealth, and unchecked narcissism (See Image 69). It is
obvious that when churches devote more time to build their
local kingdoms, in turn, they spend less time to nurture and
uplift the poor (Franklin, 2007). Pursing a “gospel of
prosperity” that accumulates material possession, wealth,
and other forms of secular prosperity are not as the sellers
and benefactors claim morally neutral and necessary for
human happiness. Wealth and possessions are not proof of
an inner grace and righteousness.

The Legacy of Reverend Ike

Prosperity preachers have a long history in the black
community. Reverend Ike was one of the most renowned
who peaked during the 1970s. He was a master proselytizer
with a relentless appeal for funds. Reverend Ike told his
followers that evil grew from the lack of money, and that
they, with his guidance, could use faith to get rich. Pressed
as the Super fly of the pulpit, he best resembled an affluent
pimp with a complement of gaudy rings and a glittering
jewelry. Ike to his donors symbolized the living proof that
theology brought riches (Carlson, 2009).
Born on June 1, 1935, in Ridgeland, South Carolina,
Frederick Joseph Eikerenkoetter began preaching at the age
of 14 in his father’s church. He served as a US Air Force
chaplain after graduating as a valedictorian of his class in
1956 at the Pentecostal American Bible College in Chicago.
Reverend Ike raised $600,000 to buy the Loews Cinema to9
profess his prosperity gospel. He maintained mansions on
both coast until 2007 when he permanently relocated to Los
Angeles (Ibid).
Reverend Ike spread the word “It is the lack of money
that is the root of all evil … The best thing you can do for
the poor is not to be one of them.” His gospel despises the
poor while exalting the rich. In his eyes, money is the only
denomination he truly respected. He accumulated a fleet of
16 Rolls Royce’s, million-dollar mansions and lavish
lifestyle. Ike use to joke that if it was difficult for a rich man
to get in heaven, it would be impossible for a poor man. The
latter, he points out, could not afford to offer the gatekeeper
a bribe amid laughter from his admirers (Norman, 2009). He
passes on this failed legacy to a millennium generation that
is growing intolerant of a church that has abdicated its moral
leadership and empathy for the least amongst us.

Chapter 10
Politics of Resentment, Intolerance and
Christian Identity
The Republican’s Southern Strategy

The Republican Party since President Nixon sweep into
office through the adoption of the Southern Strategy has
dominated the office of the presidency and have gain house
and senate majorities. This strategy is an appeal to “white
resentment” towards people of color, particularly blacks, as
well as non-Christian religions. It therefore favors racial,
ethnic, religious, etc., intolerances toward the “other.” This
“white resentment” politics and practices have heightened
the incremental holocaust imposed on African-Americans. It
began with President Richard Nixon seizing on political
initiatives recommended by Kevin Phillips that would “put
the others back in their place” and reinforce white
hegemony. Phillips wrote that his Southern Strategy was
made available by Democrats passing the Civil Rights Laws
of 1964 and 1965. The few blacks left in the Republican
Party left their affiliation to join their Democratic saviors.
The Southern white middle class was offended by
Democrats enactment of civil rights and voting rights for
blacks. Phillips suggested that these alienated Southerners
were ripe for recruitment in the Republicans quest for a
majority in Washington, D. C. South would then join the
traditional Republican base in the North, Midwest and plain,
Mountain West and Pacific West would enable them to
sweep national offices. The success of this strategy would be
reinforced by President Reagan’s 1980 and 1984 presidential
168
win. That strategy became the winning game plan for the
Republican Party into the 21st century, with exceptions in
loses to President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama.
For the most part, these Democratic presidencies were
restrained by Republican Congressional majorities.
After Clinton’s victories, Carl Rove, Republican adviser
and fundraiser, added the religious right in record numbers
to GOP’s voting base to steal the presidency for George W.
Bush (Horton, 2008). The far right element became a major
component of the Republican majority that would force the
rest of the Party to accommodate to their ideology outside
the mainstream. The GOP further unraveled our democracy
by pitting rural areas against urban and soliciting a vast
majority of the billionaire donor class by pandering to their
plutocratic interest. Their appeal to vested financial,
sociocultural and religious interests created greater
intolerances toward less privilege nonwhites beneficial to
imposition of incremental holocaust. The growth of this
climate as caused greater civil unrest and unnecessary wars
to demonstrate more hubris and global leadership.
The adoption of the Southern Strategy transformed the
GOP into the Party of the Old Confederacy rather than the
Party of Lincoln (Ibid). In turn, the Grand Old Party (GOP)
became the Party of white resentment that targets blacks for
further subordination and denying them access to the means
for socioeconomic mobility. They advocated “state’s rights”
aimed at disenfranchising its black citizens. To maintain a
hold on the presidency and build majorities in Congress, the
GOP appeals to white fears of blacks to elevate white
resentment. In doing so, their politics produces increased
racial polarization and more genocidal incidences against
African-Americans and other non-white minorities.
The Political Importance of White
169
Resentment in the Age of Obama

By dividing the American people by race, the
Republicans best serve their 1 percent donor base.
Polarization based on race produces an opiate for the white
masses that causes them to overlook the production of laws
designed to help the economic elites become wealthier.
Ginning up white fear and resentment to win votes is
particularly dangerous to the well-being of blacks. Yet, the
GOP has addictively found it an effective means to gain
power, influence and support from wealthiest donors (Ibid).
Besides the well-being of blacks and other nonwhite
minorities, our democracy is in danger of being transformed
into a plutocracy purchased “by” and “for” those wealthy
GOP donors.
Donald Trump, the billionaire developer, has maintained
a lead over other Republican candidates for the 2016
presidential nomination by championing “white resentment”
politics since the spring. Using an uncollaborated life story,
Dr. Ben Carson has temporarily vaulted to the lead over
Trump in early November 2015 by being a much admired
“Servant of the Servants of God.” He is a retired
neurosurgeon who happens to be black. Trump still has
prevailed over the 2016 Republican race by most effectively
using “white resentment” to outpoll establishment figures,
like Jeb Bush, by more than four-fold. As the self-funded,
multibillionaire, candidate, Trump has become a serious
anti-establishment contender in the quest for the next
presidency at this time. Simultaneously, most of the
Republican candidates for the 2016 election have spoken out
against the “Black Lives Matter” movement and backed the
holocaust-like, aggressive, tactics like “racial profiling,”
“stop and frisk,” surveillance and the use of military hard-
170
ware against those demanding police accountability

respecting the death of unarmed blacks.
Trump has bombastically made naked appeals to his
Republican base’s xenophobia, ethnocentrism and racism to
stir-up their white fears and resentment to the top of his
Party’s candidacy for the 2016 presidency. Hyped-up on
mega doses of hubris, Trump made the most brazen attack
on undocumented Latinos to date, including their offspring’s
born as citizens in the USA. He has promised to deport them
all and build an impenetrable wall paid by Mexicans along
the nation’s southern border to deny Latins further illegal
access. Trump’s anti-Hispanic rhetoric is pleasing to whites
who feel that nonwhite minorities are approaching a
numerical majority and would alter the character of the
nation. From scapegoating Hispanics, Trump broadened his
appeal to more universal forms of “white resentment” which
crosses party and ideological lines (Ibid).
From Resentment to the Ferguson Effect
The popularity of resentment politics among whites as
promoted by the Reagan Coalition and prominent in
Trump’s hegemony over Republicans for the 2016 election
has created a political climate conducive to law enforcement
using “racial profiling” and “stop and frisk” to
unconstitutionally search and harass blacks. Politicians who
felt they had a “white resentment” consensus ordered the
police under their supervision to target, arrest, convict and
incarcerate record numbers of blacks. The rate of black
incarceration than exceed any developed nation surpassing
human rights abusers in Russia and South Africa. The New
Jim Crow measures provoked the BLM protests. The
movement was aided by videotapes taken by citizens’
cellphones demonstrating the wanton violation of unarmed
black victims’ human rights and lives. Subsequently,
171
protesters using this evidence demanded greater police

accountability then, now and into the future.
Conservatives and the law enforcement community
argued that this videotaping, protests and demands for police
accountability created a “Ferguson effect” whereby more
police officers are being murdered and other officers are
more tentative about carrying out their duties. As a result,
they claim, the homicide rate has surged in cities where calls
for accountability is evident. Yet, there is no empirical date
to support a connection between protest and homicide or
increases in crime. Closer scrutiny reveals that there is a
historic low in police being killed on the job. The number of
police killed in Ferguson and surrounding St. Louis county
was actually higher before the incidence occurred that
prompted protest and calls for police accountability. That
same pattern and rate was evident before police officers took
Eric Garner’s life in New York prior to nationwide protests
in December 2014 (Balko, 2015).
As of the end of June 2015, the National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund released its mid-year
report on police officers’ deaths that year. The report pointed
out that the number of officers killed by gunfire dropped by
25 percent from last year. When the end of July is tabulated,
the number of police deaths due to firearms has dropped by
30 percent (Ibid). There is no connection between peaceful
political protesters and violent criminals except race in the
black community. White Americans have a tendency to see
and promote the diversity among their lot while perceiving
blacks as being one in their so-called predatory mindset.
The leading cause of deaths for cops this year has been
from car accidents. These traffic fatalities have taken the
lives of 30 police officers, a 20 percent increase from last
year. Regarding being killed by suspects, most of those
172
homicides were committed by whites. Cumulatively, the

number of police officers killed on the job match those who
have died from heart attacks this year. Since the 1990s,
officers’ deaths have rapidly declined since the 1990s. If the
“Ferguson effect” were an actual phenomenon, one can
expect attacks on police officer to increase rather than
decrease as it has (Ibid).
The “Ferguson effect” is the myth proposed as factual by
rightwing media outlets like Rupert Murdoch’s New York
Post with headlines “You’re 45 % More Likely to Be
Murdered in De Blasio’s Manhattan” and “We Need Stop
and Frisk: 4 More Murders in One Night.” Their
fearmongering instills a fear of crime and loathing of young
men of color there and across the nation. The outrage
machine has again drummed-up a greater “War on Blacks.”
They have perpetuated a mythological perception that a
violent crime wave is precipitated by black protests against
police brutality (Martin, 2015). It urges their mass
criminalization and efforts to exterminate the danger they
allegedly pose.
The previous hysteria created by the conservative
outrage machine in the 1990s created a climate whereby
every state passed and enforced measures to increase youth
incarceration and lower the age which minors could be tried
as adults. The “War on Crime” launched by the Reagan
Coalition convinced citizens to support capital outlays for
the building of over 1,100 additional prisons between 1970
and 2000. Hysterical explanations or predictions similar to
the “Ferguson effect” never materialized. Blacks and other
nonwhites are disproportionately criminalized, arrested,
convicted, and incarcerated which deprived them of the right
to vote and the chance for meaningful employment whether
the crime was violent or not.
173
Today with a third of the black men as wards of the

correction system, it has become commonplace for black
families to be provided for by a single parent’s income and
subsidies. The majority of the Black Americans eligible to
vote are women, a majority of those single parents. But,
Black women are disproportionately being arrested and
incarcerated for operating the underground income activities
of their incarcerated spouses. The “War on Crime” masked
as a “War on Blacks” that destroyed lower working class
African-American families.
The mainstream media trying to compete for dwindling
revenues that have restricted in-depth research has found it
cost-effect to mirror the sensational stories and perception
from the right as equal to murky facts from the center. The
right is given equal time to the center which is categorized
as liberal along with more progressive views on the left of
the political spectrum. The clearest example of weighing
myths against facts, the New York Times promoted the
“Ferguson effect” as the cause of a murder epidemic. The
Times does have a national readership making it quite
influential in respects to public opinion. Yet, the “Ferguson
effect” is not real. Supposedly, national scrutiny of how
police treat mostly black and brown people seems to make
law enforcers more t9imid and less effective in respects to
keeping the peace when laws are broken (Fariasi, 2015).
Banding about the idea of the “Ferguson effect” deflects
attention from the police themselves and the constant killing
of unarmed blacks. By perpetuating the myth, protesters are
casted as the villains and police officers become victims, as
well as the shield against chaos and anarchy (Ibid). The
manufactured crisis based on a false perception is
unwittingly accepted by a Republican base more willing to
scapegoat blacks and nonwhites for society’s evils and
174
malaise. To perpetuate this lie, contrary to the facts, is a

disservice to the continuation of an informed citizenry
essential to our democracy.
Defining Zero Sum and How It Is Used to
Reinforce the Racial Status-Quo
Zero-sum refers to the concept that in order for one to
win, someone else must lose. In other words, gain comes at
someone else’s pain (Jones, 2014). This is an economic
concept used in framing the monopolization of capital by
capitalist to produce wealth for investors and affordable
products at the expense of cheap or slave labor. Capitalist
and their investors take the risk of losing their investment of
capital and effort in this endeavor. Apparently, they are
providing a service by meeting the demands of consumers.
Today, corporations with stock and bonds to finance their
quest to meet consumer demands actually defuse risk to
banks, depositors, and taxpayers through deposit insurance
while defecting its liabilities. The losers are its laborers who
do not earn a living wage. In a society with a “social-safety
net,” government assistance is parred out to these low-
income workers at the expense of most taxpayers. In other
words, the government is picking up the cost of extreme
affluence among CEOs and those holding much of the
corporate stock.
This economic concept is being used by conservatives
politically to reinforce the racial divide. They believe that to
assist blacks and other people of color to improve their living
conditions, employment opportunities and education, it
would come at the expense of white Americans. They also
adhere to Social Darwinism and racist beliefs that these so-
called “inferior races” are unworthy of such improvements,
particularly at the expense of the race credited with building
this exceptional superpower. They see those that call their
175
view as evil or racist are guilty of this maligned behavior

(Ibid).
The Growing Popularity of Zero-Sum Gain Politics
The Far Right through Citizen United whereby political
donations are viewed as “free speech” has amassed the
campaign donations to takeover both houses of Congress,
most state legislatures, governorships and courts. In doing
so, under the theory of “zero-sum gain,” blacks and browns
face obstacles to political participation not seen since being
experienced in Jim Crow America. The imposition of voter
ID restrictions where voter fraud is nearly non-existent has
in effect imposed a “poll-tax” on voters with detouring effect
on low-income nonwhites. State legislatures using the “zero-
sum” gain paradigm to gerrymander district lines in order to
further suppress nonwhites’ voices and impact on the
policies and practices governing them. Congressional
majorities imposing the “zero-sum” paradigm have
successfully obstructed any further progressive proposals or
laws that would help the growing nonwhites to advance.
The reason that the “zero-sum” game of racial politics
has gained traction is that by 2044, according to the US
Census Bureau, people of color will collectively outnumber
white citizens in this country (Schess-Meier, 2015). A deep
sense of paranoia over this demographic shift has emerged.
Conservative whites see this rising minority/majority reality
as an existential threat to white institutions, values, and
culture. They irrationally feel that the browning of America
will wipe them out. Therefore, whites feel they must bring
this demographic reality to an affirmative halt. This paranoia
explains why Donald Trump is polled as of September 1,
2015 as the leading Republican candidate for the Party’s
2016 presidential nomination. Trump has proposed an
expensive and imposing wall around the nation’s southern
176
border to stop illegal Latino migration. In addition, Trump

has proposed removing children of undocumented parents in
violation of the 14th Amendment to stop the, minority/
majority, demographic shift at the expense of white citizens.
The racial politics of those using the “zero-sum” gain
have encouraged the epidemic use of state-sanctioned
violence targeted on black and brown people in this country.
In response to this incremental genocide, this retrenchment
politics has given rise to the “Black Lives Matter
Movement” to hold police officers legally responsible for
killing unarmed people of color (Ibid). Conservatives and
police unions have interpreted this movement as “Police
Lives Do Not Matter’ and with their allies are running a
misinformation campaign to hold protesters responsible for
police officers killed in the line of duty by career criminals
who happen to be black or brown. In addition, they argue
that they are the only ones capable of protecting white lives
and property from the “others’ (nonwhite racial minorities)
on the home front. Their xenophobic paranoia and rhetoric
has given officials permission to authorize the brutal and
relentless crackdown of nonwhite dissent. A siege mentality
is imposed on predominantly black and minority
communities. As a result, poverty, dysfunction, instability,
and violence are reinforced upon the underprivileged.
Under the “zero-sum” gain concept of racial politics,
white cops are free to gun down black children, black
women, black men, with impunity in compliance with a
media engaging in a sustained smear campaign against these
victims, the message is clear that the loss of black life is a
net gain for white people. To add to the injustice, white
prosecutors, judges and jurists like their larger demographic
routinely fail to generally empathize with black people and
people of color about their pain and grief (Ibid). Left
177
unchecked, the imposition of the racial politics of “zero-

sum” gain is the bedrock for the justification of everything
from forced deportation to police killings. Maybe the use of
this theory should sanctioned as a categorically untrue racial
fantasy. Why would a sober and enlightened person wonder
what white people might lose if people of color win? Maybe,
we should ask why we continually tolerate, even condone, a
world where the cost of protecting whiteness is measured in
real, valuable lives lost? The sustained assault on people of
color demands answers to the latter question (Ibid).
Nellie Andreeva who advocates that whites face the
worst racism in her piece for Deadline on race in
contemporary television obviously advocates the racial
politics of “zero-sum” gain. She ponders whether the current
array of multiracial castings in popular shows like How to
Get Away With Murder, Scandal, Empire, Jane the Virgin,
Black-ish, The Mindy Project, etc., have gone “too far.”
Andreeva asks her audience to consider the cost to white
actors, writers, producers, etc., by gains in diversity on
television. Her online article caused an uproar of reaction on
the Internet.
The push for ethnicity in casting by major networks is an
appeal to a growing diverse television audience demanding
to see representation of themselves on the screen. Many are
unable to afford more expense leisure activities. These no-
white consumers are able to afford fast food and other retail
producers marketed on television and pay for the shows
presented to capture their attention. The more affluent white
audiences are increasingly diverting their attention to
commercial-free paid television shows, movies, and events.
As the white audience shrinks, the network is less capable of
attracting as businesses willing to pay exorbitant marketing
fees. Until the white audiences return at profitable levels,
178
ethnic casting and its representation in commercial

television remains a viable way for white executives to
justify their salaries and that of actors and actresses in
popular programs, as well as purchase broadcasting rights
over sports events. The fact that low-income blacks and
browns watch more than twice as much commercial
television than wealthier peers makes them a viable
audience. The decision to increase ethnic casting is not
altruistic, it is an effort to improve revenues.
According to a new study by researchers at Tufts
University’s School of Arts and “Sciences and Harvard
Business School, whites believe that they have replaced
blacks as primary victims of racial discrimination in 21st
century America. A growing number of whites reflect
Andreeva’s and her audiences “zero-sum” gain racial
politics. The authors of the university study that cites the
growing number of whites that hold “zero-sum” gain racial
political views found that whites surveyed see anti-white
racism as a bigger problem than anti-black racism
(Desmond-Harris, 2011). Obviously, they are seduced into
this mythology by the growth of the conservative media and
its mainstream “tailgaters.” With the growth of the Far Right
and its influences, remedies for racism against blacks and
other people of color like affirmative action, Smithsonian’s
Black museum and diversity scholarships are targeted as
“zero-sum” gains for whites.
In political circles, Ben Stein leads the “zero-sum”
argument that “black gain is white pain.” He appeared on
Newsmax to discuss the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in
Ferguson, Missouri, back in 2014 and challenged the use of
the term “unarmed” to describe Brown. He claimed that
Brown was armed with his incredibly strong, scary self
(Gaiter, 2014). This assertion is a throwback to the racist
179
characterization of black men as brutish, savage and

dangerous persons (when unchained) by the very definition
of their being and that whites have a right to “put them
down” if they are perceived as threatening. This “zero-sum”
assertion is tied to white safety and freedom being insured
by black oppression.
Evidently, Stein saw Michael Brown with his dark skin
and steely graze as a threat to whites by simply existing in
an unchained state. He accepted the perspective that blacks
should submit without complaint or face official violence for
not “knowing their place.” Stein presumes that to deter this
threat whites must be liberally given the right to carry and
use guns. His view is obviously popular with the political
right and the base of the Republican Party (Ibid).
Stein and the growing number of rightwing whites see
any progress that blacks make as a direct attack on their
status. To them, any lessening of white supremacy is a threat
against whites. It is obvious that a two-term black president
has driven the white supremacists over the edge. This
mindset according to the university study between Harvard
Business School and Tufts University is gaining traction
among whites in contemporary America (Ibid).
Rush Limbaugh and rightwing radio have joined this
racial “zero-sum” bandwagon along with Chief Justice John
Roberts and other conservative Republican appointees. To
them, black gain is definitely white pain. Under the Robert’s
court race could not be used to achieve integration. This
means that you cannot work to achieve integration because
it is discriminatory towards whites. His court ignores the
politics that has kept black and brown students in
substandard, underfunded schools through redlining and
employment and housing discrimination. The toxicity of this
politics overlooks the systemic racist effects of the American
180
criminal justice and “separate but unequal” education system

with its resource deficiencies. The most respectable
conservatives are pushing the view that racism does not exist
despite the undeniable evidence to the contrary. This way
they appear high-minded white perpetuating the
continuation of white supremacist outcomes (Ibid).
The Politics of Blaming Police Murders on
Black Protest Against Sanctioned
Killings of Unarmed Blacks
The Republican Party took the “baton” from
conservative news media and with its acolytes tried to
demonize BLM and the protest movement’s response to all-
too-common police killings of unarmed African-Americans.
Its leading politicians, most of which are candidates for the
Party’s 2016 presidential nomination, led the inflammatory
assault on the protest group. Governor Nikki Haley of South
Carolina, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, and Senator
Rand Paul of Kentucky cast BLM as a hateful, anti-white,
expression. They and fellow politicians Chris Christie, Ted
Cruz, and Mike Huckabee hold that BLM movement has no
legitimate place in a civil rights movement (Duffy, 2015;
McCarthy, 2015).
The Republican Party’s presidential candidates have
blamed both BLM and Obama for racism in America. Scott
Walker points out that these alleged culprits have given rise
to anti-police rhetoric that has worsen racial tensions and
undermined respect for the police. To these candidates, the
climate allegedly created by the so-called culprits has had
real consequences on the safety of officers who put their
lives on the line. Christie associated both alleged culprits to
recent death of a sheriff’s deputy in Texas (Duffy, 2015).
None of these candidates provides any evidence supporting
their baseless accusations.
The truth is that BLM is a non-violent, peace, movement
which focuses on the fact that unarmed black citizens are
181
more likely to die at the hands of the police than whites. In

the eyes of the law and society in general, the lives of black
citizens have not mattered. As expendables, they have been
devalued and discounted. By “blaming the victim” for
protest against this mistreatment, conservatives are trying to
cover-up the unpleasant truth that racism is pervasive against
blacks in this society. That truth includes the fact that
predatory policing and bias criminal justice system
continues to degrade black people and disproportionately
ruin black lives (Ibid). Making this mythical “War on
Police” a campaign issue is a racist strategy to use “white
resentment” to illegitimately win a presidential election with
its Congressional “coattails” like a Senate majority.
In addition, fatal attacks on law enforcement in the
alleged new “anti-police culture” created by BLM and
President Obama actually decreased by 17 percent in 2015
compared to 2014 (Ibid). The summer of 2015, according to
New York City’s Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, was the
safest summer in 25 years. But, this fact did not prevent
Republican opportunist from casting New York City, one
site of ongoing BLM protest, as an example that the
movement results in more crime and violence by
disrespecting police officers. A new report by the Sentencing
Project refutes the notion that BLM protest encouraged
homicides in any of the cities where demonstrates against
police brutality occurred. They show that any uptick in
homicides actually occurred prior to Ferguson and Michael
Brown in 2014 (Vitale, 2015).
Despite the facts, Senator Cruz of Texas continues to
claim that BLM movement has jeopardized public safety by
making police officers reluctant to do their jobs out of fear
of criticism. Adding to blaming BLM for the terrorism
imposed on the black community, Nikki Haley the governor
of South Carolina adds that blacks are being victimized by
protest that have made local police too intimidated to do their
jobs. She also claims that BLM is responsible for vandalism
182
that allegedly wasted Ferguson and Baltimore. Ben Carson,

now polled as the second leading Republican candidate for
2016 presidential nomination, claims that BLM amount to
finger-pointing and imposing a distraction from real
problems (McCarthy, 2015). He joins his arch-conservative
colleagues in emphasizing that black-on-black crime should
be the sole priority of BLM movement and the communities
they represent.
The rightwing notion that BLM protest against police
brutality is increasing crime is referred to as the “Ferguson
effect.” It is based on both junk science and political
opportunism. The fact is despite temporary uptick in serious
crime in some cities, crime in general and the murder rates
continue to decline. Conservative agitators have frequently
“jumped to conclusions” about crime trends drawn from
limited periods of time. Their rightwing echo chamber is
abuzz with attacks on BLM movement against police
misconduct. They have slandered individual activists and
blamed a host of social ills on them (Vitale, 2015; Balko,
2015).
The rightwing wants the public to believe that police
need a “free hand” to control crime. The unfettered police
power they advocate, particularly among whites, should be
immune from any attempt to reign in abusive, racist or illegal
police activity. Their advocacy again undermines the facts
drawn from decades of research which demonstrates that
policing works best when communities support the police,
feel respected by them, and accept their actions as legitimate.
In contrast, “free hand” practices by the police like shooting
fleeing suspects and “stop and frisk” without reasonable
suspicion is constitutional. This practice is based on racial
profiling that incurs an unacceptable social cost (Ibid).
Law and order conservatives have been using the notion
of the “Ferguson effect” to blame police brutality on
protesters and public officials who actually try to hold bad
cops accountable for an alleged increase in violence against
183
police officers. There is no empirical evidence to support the

notion of the “Ferguson effect” that BLM movement has
created an environment conducive for the murder of police
officers. As of July 23, 2015, police deaths due to firearms
are down 30 percent from 2014. This year, the leading cause
of deaths for cops has been traffic fatalities. Car accidents in
2015 that have taken the lives of 30 police officers marks an
increase of 20 percent over the last year (Balko, 2015).
Overall, the number of cops killed on the job from
assaults is down this year. The number has dwindled down
to 23 deaths compared to 32 taken in 2014 (Ibid). There have
been a few high profile killings since this account was taken
in July 2015. At the present rate, this year’s cumulative
number would either fall short or match the number of such
killings by 2016. Every life indeed is precious, particularly
if a good and heroic police officer is killed on the job. But,
this type of officer does not excuse abusive police officers
who take innocent lives. A higher standard of accountability
must displace the impunity bestowed by conservatives and
their law enforcement allies.
Donald Trump’s Ties to Today’s Successors of the
Council of Nicea
Trump is polling well with evangelical Christians, many
of whom are members of megachurches. He has a scant
history of religious affiliation and a track record of scandals,
including adultery with much younger women. Yet, Trump
consistently has 20 to 30 percent of the Christian
Republicans polling in his favor. The most recent polls
before Christmas 2015, have Trump at 24 percent among
white evangelicals in a field of candidates in the mid-teens
(Masciotra, 2015).
The leading Republican candidates for the 2016
presidency and America’s religious right share an
admiration for and encouragement of narcissism.
Conservative evangelical Christians are among the most
self-righteousness. There is a strong correlation between
184
self-righteousness and narcissism. There is another positive

correlation between selfishness and mean-spiritedness that
matches the former variables. All of these variables are also
positively correlated with intolerance. Subsequently, the
Christian right in America has a long history of intolerance
to racial and religious minorities (Ibid). They see their God,
his Son, disciples and authors of the Bible exclusively white
like themselves. In addition, Egypt and Northeastern Africa
(Middle East today) is an extension of Europe in the ancient
world. This perception obscures the truth that Christianity is
rooted among the black people of North Africa and its
subcontinent (Middle East) who are the ancestors of today
Sub-Saharan Africans and Africans in Diaspora (African
Americans).
Trump’s popularity among the Republicans is built on
his mean-spirited attacks on minorities, disabled reporters,
and women who disagree with him. In doing so, he reflects
white Christians’ view that they, like him, are special and
those who are different are inferior. These evangelical
Christians believe they are a persecuted minority and God’s
chosen people. They believe that “making America great
again” means excluding those unworthy “others” from
God’s Kingdom on Earth. Creating a white Christian
paradise on earth means rejecting compromises and
negotiations. Their God, like Trump, is infallible,
unapologetic, all-powerful, and all-knowing. He, like
Trump, is an ethnically and racially superior being that has
chosen them as the most divined and blessed people. In
seeking those attributes in Trump, they are seeing an
Ayatollah rather than a president (Ibid). Trump appears to
use exaggerated fears of the others to try and steal the
presidency from those that want an effective democracy
rather than a dictatorship.
Surge in Religious and Racial Intolerance
As the politics of intolerance increases, the climate of
hate, incivility, racially and religiously motivated violence
185
surges. Trump, the leading Republican candidate for this

Party’s presidential nomination into the first month of 2016,
is appealing to fear and intolerance to lead all other
candidates by double-digits over the last year. His followers
or base consist of low-income whites with a high school
diploma and little to no college or higher education that feel
they have been betrayed by a political system rigged for the
benefit of the rich campaign donors. The Republican Party
is seen by them as being obligated to these donors. Trump as
an independently wealthy billionaire is running a self-
financed campaign free of donations from members of the 1
percent. He promises to “make America great again” for this
white working class base that feel they are treated as an
irrelevant underclass (The Star, 2015).
The GOP is responsible for bring together Trumps haters
by recruiting whites that are resentful of gains that nonwhites
have made as a result of the Civil Rights Movement and
subsequent laws passed to prohibit discrimination. The
Republicans added the so-called “Moral Majority,”
fundamentalist Christians, to their ranks of supporters by
waging a Cultural War and portraying themselves as
champions of white family and traditional values. In doing
so, Republicans sweep control of the states of the Old
Confederacy and rural areas throughout the nation by
opposing any sort of gun control. The Party in the 21st
century has given tactical support to conspiracy theories
about President Obama’s birth, religion and politics to attract
the fringe
Tea party irrational element. This element popularized the
notion of an impotent Republican leadership and
establishment politics. They pursued primaries to weed out
those liberal and moderate politicians in the Party. Ronald
Reagan, the founding father of the “takeback America from
minorities” movement, would be primaried-out of today’s
Republican party unless he ran much further to the right than
he did. He would have to forgo compromise with the
186
Democrats unless it was solely on the terms overwhelmingly

favorable to the right.
Trump’s nationalist supporters believe:
 Discrimination against whites is as big, if not
greater than it is towards blacks and other
minorities, by an oversized government.
 Immigrants who speak little or no English are
offensive.
 The 11 million illegal immigrants and their
children born in the USA should be deported.
 The American Dream has become a
nightmare.
 Muslim refugees should be banned from this
nation as long as Islamic terrorism is viable.
 The Constitution should be changed to deny
citizenship to anyone born on US soil (Ibid).
Quietly, Texas Senator and Tea Party favorite, Ted Cruz,
has emerged as a prominent conservative Christian
alternative to Donald Trump and the rest of the candidates.,
including the establishment backed Senator Marco Rubio of
Florida. Cruz has the support of the National Organization
for Marriage that are intent on overturning court decisions
and executive orders supporting same-sex unions. Cruz’s
rise in the polls have been made at the expense of the
fundamentalist former favorite, Ben Carson. The lack of
policy knowledge undermines the retired neurosurgeon’s
former double-digit lead and second place standing for
months against Trump (Bacon, 2015).
Cruz has been an effective fundraiser. He has brought in
more dollars into his campaign than any other candidate
except Carson in the first few months of his campaign. Cruz
has a bloc of millionaire donors who have contributed at
least $38 million to a super Pac supporting his candidacy.
Candidates, like him, who traditionally gain the evangelical
support tend to run out of money but he is defying this trend.
Wealthy establishment donors are unwilling to fund and
187
promote candidates, like Cruz, that embrace the evangelical

and socially conservative wing of the party (Ibid).
Obviously, the Republican establishment fears Cruz as
much, if not more, than Trump. The so-called “Moral
Majority” is overwhelmingly supporting Cruz and Carson.
These two candidates and Trump now represent the majority
of the Republicans. Their supporters feel that they have been
ignored by establishment intent on rigging the system to
lower their taxes and liabilities, including moving wages and
regulations offshore to Third World countries. Cruz is
banking on inheriting all of the outside support to gain a
primary majority and the Republican presidential
nomination. Presently, he is mirroring what other outside
candidates are doing in lure of bring their voters into his
camp.
Cruz in his quest to gain that supermajority of the
Republican votes in the primary had a meeting with 50
leading and like-minded conservatives. This meeting was
spearheaded by Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council.
The group also invited Marco Rubio. Cruz won the support
of a majority of these conservatives. They found him the
most capable candidate to champion their “Cultural War”
against untraditional values, changes and the threat of the
rising minority-majority to come. A string of endorsements
was borne out of that meeting which helped Cruz surge to
the top of several polls in conservative-friendly Iowa ahead
of Trump (Alberta, 2015).
Retaking America for the Anti-Christian Fourth Reich
The white evangelical wing of the Republican Party has
embraced the anti-Christian views of Ayn Rand and racist
perceptions of the Christian Identity movement. This is
ideological hypocrisy at its highest level or absurd extent.
Trump and the other leaders of the primary quest for the
2016 nomination fits their vision of identity politics
(Atheism About, 2015). Senator Cruz and Dr. Carson are
more of the Christian Reconstructionist that these religious
188
conservatives prefer. But, Trump is unquestionably white,

successful, and personally involved in the ethnocentric and
racist nationalism he spews. The Klan, other white
supremacist groups and David Duke, a renowned Christian
Identity figure and former imperial wizard of the Klan has
endorsed Trump’s candidacy.
Trump rose to political prominence by leading a “birther
movement” against President Obama. He accused Obama of
unconstitutionally holding the presidency because he
allegedly was born in Kenya. Obama had to publically
display his Hawaiian birth certificate and announcements of
his birth to suppress these false allegations. Presently, Trump
is in a heated race with Cruz for Iowa’s primary votes and
again he has imposed the “birther allegation” on a political
adversary. He suggests that Cruz who was born in Canada
by an American mother may not meet the constitutional
requirement of being a naturalized citizen unless his status is
confirmed by a judge. Trump agrees with those that believe
this question “is not part of settled law” respecting whether
an individual born outside of the country is constitutionally
eligible to be president. He argues that Democrats would go
to court and seek to disqualify Cruz form the presidential
race or office if he won on the basis of being born outside of
nation.
Trump’s usage of “birtherism” to discredit Cruz and
President Obama, as well as appeal to white racial
nationalism, has made him a favorite among members of the
Christian Identity movement and white supremacists. His
appeal has narrowed Cruz’s lead in Iowa and as of January
11, 2016, Cruz and Trump are in a statistical tie according to
this state’s primary polls. Trump appears to have the
momentum in Iowa at this point. He definitely has the
support of his white nationalist pals who are flooding Iowa
with robo calls in support of his candidacy. They have
formed a group called the American National Super PAC to
make these calls. They spew that “We don’t need Muslims.”
189
Trump is the one candidate who would only accept

immigrants who are good for America, according to one of
the callers, Jared Taylor of American Renaissance (Ortiz,
2016; Daily Kos, 2016).
Jared Taylor who also serves as spokesman for the
Council of Conservative Citizens is cited by Charleston
shooter Dylan Roof as the individual whose words
encouraged him to kill nine black parishioners. The robo
calls included William Johnson, a farmer and white
nationalist. He is chairman of the American Freedom Party
that calls Trump its “Great White Hope.” In 1985, Johnson
proposed a constitutional amendment that would revoke
American citizenship from nonwhite inhabitants of this
nation. Ever since, he has been actively involved in white
nationalist causes (Daily Kos, 2016). Formerly, Trump was
endorsed by the founders of Stormfront, white nationalist
organization. They have used his campaign as a means to
drive up recruitment and increase traffic to their web site.
Trump’s reply is “People like me across the board.
Everybody likes me (Ortiz, 2016). Unfortunately,
condemnation for the animus spewed is one-sided and
delegated to the more inclusive Democrats, its majority of
the voters and the “gerrymandered” majority of
contradictory officeholders.

Chapter 11
The Truth Lives On
Count Volney, Massey, Diop, Siegnobos, Burn and

Ralph Weigh-In
The nation’s schools from elementary to higher
education maintain a racist veil on the truth. Along, with the
media, the major source of knowledge continues to
perpetuate the lie that blacks have no history outside of
slavery and second-class citizenry here in this nation. Whites
are promoted as being intellectual superiors who are
responsible for all advances in civilization, knowledge,
religion, and so forth. Evidence to the contrary is either
omitted, suppressed or belittled. Yet, scholars of diverse
races over numerous centuries have proven that Africa and
its black people are the root of civilization, science,
technology, mathematics, and all human knowledge. White
scholars, like Count Volney, Gerald Massey, Charles
Seignobos, Edward Burns and Phillip Ralph have discovered
a truth that turned convention into a categorical lie (Kush,
1983).
Count C. F. Volney (1789) wrote: “There was a people
now forgotten, discovered while others were yet barbarians,
the elements of arts and sciences. A race of men now rejected
for their black skin and wooly hair that founded the study of
the laws of nature, those civil and religious systems which
still govern the Universe.” Volney (1787) specifically adds:
“… This race of blacks … is the very one to which we owe
our arts, our sciences, and even the use of the spoken word
…” (See Image 70). Volney cites that these black people
lived in what is now Egypt and were addressed as Ethiopian.
192
These people, Volney points out, invented divine worship

and every other religious practice.

Massey (2002, 2013) finds that the origin of civilization

is in Africa. Records of language and mythology, he points
out, validates this assertion. The French historian, Professor
Charles Seignobos (2009) asserts that: “The first civilized
193
inhabitants of the Nile and Tigris-Euphrates Valley were

dark-skinned people with short hair and prominent lips …”
Burns and Ralph (1987), among others, claimed that these
Africans raised arts and sciences to unparalleled heights as
early as 3,000 B. C.
Cheikh Anta Diop, the Greatest 20th Century Globally
Imhotep-Scholar in History
Diop (1923-1986) pursued his research and writing on
the African continent and in Europe, retaining citizenship
and primary residence in Senegal where this nation
dedicated a university in his name to his scholarship and
findings. His work and influence on the study of Black
Africans in World history is profound and cited by Van
Sertima, as Rutgers professor, as the basis for his research.
Black studies beyond the American experience were
established by translations of Diop’s research written in
French to English.
Multi-talented, Diop was a historian, anthropologist,
physicist and politician. His most important work centered
on the origins of the human race and pre-colonial African
culture. The lasting monument to his scholarship specifically
is Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, Senegal. His life
began as a son of Muslim Wolof aristocratic residing in
Thieytou, Central Senegal. Diop was educated in a
traditional Islamic school. According to Diop, his family was
part of the Mouride brotherhood which he argues was the
only independent Muslim group in Africa. After earning a
bachelor’s degree in Senegal, he moved to Paris to complete
his graduate studies (Ajayi, 2005).
Diop arrived in Paris, France, at the age of 23 in that
nation’s center of learning, culture and intellectual life. He
enrolled to study philosophy in the Sorbonne. At its Faculty
of Arts School, Diop earned a degree in philosophy in 1948.
He then enrolled at the Sorbonne’s School of Sciences and
earned two diplomas in chemistry by 1950. In 1949, Diop
194
submitted first of four dissertation proposals, the latter one

entitled “Who were the pre-dynastic Egyptians.” The fourth
proposal “Comparative Study of Political and Social
Systems of Europe and Africa, from Antiquity to the
Formation of the Modern States” was accepted and he
obtained a doctorate on the basis of a dissertation on that
topic in 1960 (Diop, 2012).
Four years after meeting Frederic Joliot-Curie, Marie
Curie’s son-in-law, Diop began specializing in nuclear
physics at the Laboratory of Nuclear Chemistry of the
College de France. Ultimately, he translated parts of
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity into his native Senegalese
dialect (Diop & Nanter, 2006). Additionally, Diop’s
education delved into History, Egyptology, Physics,
Linguistics, Anthropology, Economics and Sociology
during this stay in Paris (Jackson & Rashidi, 2001; Gray,
1989). He acquired proficiency in rationalism, dialectics,
modern scientific techniques and prehistoric archeology.
Claiming to be the only Black African of his generation to
specialize in Egyptology, Diop would apply this and the
other diverse proficiencies to his research on African history
(Diop, 1974).
In Paris, Diop developed the research thesis that he
would pursue in Africa upon his return. His paradigm for
research would draw the ire of mainstream critiques and
admiration of those seeking the truth about the origin of
civilization and vital role played by Black Africans. Diop
proposed that African culture is the basis of Egyptian
civilization which is the source of Western Civilization
(Diop, 1963; Gnonosoa & Diop, 2003). Upon his return to
Senegal in the 1960s, Diop proposed that the blackness of
ancient Egyptians can be determined by microscopic
analysis of their mummified remains (Gray, 1989). In
scholarly journals, Diop published his technique and
methodology for a melanin dosage test to determine its
contents Egyptian mummies. His technique would later be
195
adopted by forensic investigators to determine the “racial

identity” of badly burnt accident victims. Mainstream
critiques dismissed Diop’s melanin dosage test technique as
inappropriate in respects to giving sufficient information
respecting racial identification due to effects of embalmment
and deterioration over time (Froment, 1991).
In 1974, The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or
Reality became Diop’s first work translated into English. He
provided archaeological and anthropological evidence to
support his view that the Pharaohs were of black ancestry.
Diop gained a wider audience of supporters who drew
heavily on his work and Eurocentric critics denying that
black made any significant contribution to civilization
(Lefkowitz, 1996). Ironically the disdain by mainstream
critics, played into Diop’s assertion about the cultural bias
inherent in their so-called scientific and objective research.
Respectfully, Diop asserted that European archeologists
before and after their colonization and enslavement of
Africans understated the extent and possibility of Black
civilizations (Jackson & Rashidi, 2001; Diop, 1974).
Charles Bonnett, a Swiss archeologist, found evidence
that supports Diop’s thesis that Ancient Egypt is a cultural
extension of Nubia from site of Kerma, Egypt (Bonnett &
Valbelle, 2007). A closer examination of dynastic Egypt
finds that it was unified and established by Menes believed
to be a Nubian King. Archeological evidence strongly
supports that Black Africans or their direct descendants
served as most of the numerous pharaohs. The Last Pharaoh
to maintain the Egyptian empire was a Nubia, Taharqa
(Bonnett, 2006; Kitchen, 1996).
The preponderance of methods and evidence employed
by Diop became incorporated in mainstream Egyptologist’s
view of the ancient Egyptians. F. Yurco and others
acknowledge that Diop was correct in concluding that
Nubians were ethnically and culturally tied to ancient
Egyptians and used the same pharaonic political structure
196
(Yurco, 1989). Yurco and other mainstream Egyptologist

concurred with Diop that the people of the Nile Valley were
one regional population, sharing a number of genetic and
cultural traits (Yurco, 1996). They did not extend this
identity as Diop did to people across all of Black Africa
(Diop, 1989).
Diop drew his argument that Ancient Egyptians were the
same as the black people found in sub-Sahara Africa from
references made by Herodotus and Strabo. Herodotus
referred to these people of the Nile Valley as “black with
curly hair” (Herodotus, 1988). According to the Greek
Father of History, the ancient Egyptians had the same
physical traits as modern Black Africans (See Image 71). To
Diop, based on these contemporary accounts, the role of the
matriarchy and other cultural aspects of sub-Saharan culture
were practiced by the Egyptians. Linguistically, Wolof
language of Senegal is related to language used by ancient
Egyptians (Diop, 1996; Diop, 1989).

197
One of the major arguments put forward by Diop is that

conventional research on Africa reflects European
hegemony, xenophobia and bias against Black Africans
(Diop, 1964). According to his perspective, Western
scholarship of the 19th and first half of the 20th century was
highly influenced by scientific racist like Carleton S. Coon.
Coon and his peers used racial rankings of inferiority and
superiority to refer to Black Africans as opposed to
Caucasians, respectively (Coon, 1962). The scientific racist
in the Hamite camp hold that most advances and cultural
development in Africa were due exclusively to the
mysterious Caucasoid Hamites. Those holding the Dynastic
Race Theory of Egypt assert that a mass migration of
Caucasoid people was needed to create the Egyptian
kingships from slow-witted black aboriginals (Stein &
Rowe, 2002). Some researchers have shifted their categories
and methods to maintain the racist outlook irrespective of
new and contrary evidence raised by Diop and other modern
scholars.
Diop accused his numerous critics of using the narrowest
definition of “Black” to place Nubians into a European or
Caucasoid racial zone with a darker Mediterrean or “Middle
Eastern.” The racially artificial classifications as part of a
“divide and conquer” strategy are used by western critics to
reinforce Eurocentric hegemony and devaluation of African
population, particularly south of the Sahara. Diop argues
against the continued use of artificial racial classifications
that credit Europeans with civilization and progress
developed by Africans. Those in Africana Studies that
followed his lead would assertively claim that Westerners
originated nothing and stole civilization, progress,
technological innovations, labor, natural resources, etc.,
Africans and other people of color which constitutes 84
percent of the world’s population.
Great scholars, like J. A. Rogers and W. E. B. DuBois,
found strong evidence of a broad black worldwide

phenotype, stretching from India to Australia to Africa, with

typical Negroid features. He argues that this phenotype or
physical appearance is what matters in historic socio-cultural
relations (Finch, 1986; Diop, 1991). Diop’s academic
detractors charged him with racism for claiming that the
ancient Egyptians were Black. They and others holding
Eurocentric hegemonic views ignored Diop’s fundamental
criticism of the scholarship done on African people,
particularly the classification schemes that pigeon holes
them into narrowest racial genotype while expanding the
definition of their group as widely as possible. In effect,
mainstream Western scholarship is based on lies,
hypocrisies and bad scholarship that ignore the
developmental variability of African people and brevity of
Western hegemony in the context to world history (Diop,
1964).
Diop’s most significant contribution is his insistence that
the Ancient Egyptians were basically a homogeneous
African population that lived in the Nile Valley from ancient
to modern times as other scholars of latter 20th century would
acknowledge. There was some foreign admixture but the
dynastic civilization was genetically, culturally and
linguistically similar to most sub-Saharan Africa. But to
Diop and partially acknowledged by mainstream
Egyptologist, ancient populations derived much of their
genetic inheritance from there context in contrast to
hegemonic attempts to split, cluster, subdivide, define and
regroup them into contexts driven by their own
ethnocentrism (Diop, 1989; Yurco, 1996).
Afrocentricity Reveals the Inclusive Truth
Afrocentricity is a paradigm that places Africans and
Africans in Diaspora in the center of ideas, concepts, events,
personalities, and political and economic processes. It is a
revolutionary shift in thinking proposed as a constructional
adjustment to black disorientation and de-centeredness.
Africa, its black ideals and values are central and expressed
199
in the highest forms. Those using this perspective see blacks

as central in their own history and experience (Asante,
2009).
The leading philosophers of Afrocentricity are Haki
Madhuti and Maulana Karenga. They best articulate the
image and interest of black people. Those adhering to their
perspective pursue self-and collective- progressive change.
They promote the intersect of ideas with actions based on
creative and transformative political and economic change.
These scholars also promote an Afrocentric methodology
that uncovers the masks behind the rhetoric of power,
privilege and position that perpetuate the marginalization of
black people (Ibid).
Molefi Kete Asante and Ama Mazama are central figures
in promoting an understanding of Afrocentricity and its
impact on all knowledge. They perceive it as neither
hegemonic or idealistic. The philosophy questions
hegemony, marginality and power positions that have
underdeveloped African people. The Afrocentric philosophy
promotes that Africans have and continue to develop their
own capacities in relationship to the global economy. It is an
orientation that speaks to the uniqueness, as well as
universality, of black people (Ibid). It helps them “know thy
self” and uplift themselves from dependency and
subjugation.
Jesus’ Message of Inclusiveness, Tolerance,
Mercy, Healing and Forgiveness
Pope Francis (See Image 72), representing the Universal
Church of Christ, in an interview published by the America
magazine said the church’s stance on divisive issues must
change. He believes that Jesus’ message is not to shame and
stigmatize according to selected sins when all of us are
sinners. In other words, “He who is without sin should cast
the first stone” or reframe for “Judgment is mine said the
Lord.” The sins in question are gay marriage, abortion and
contraception. They have garnished excessive attention
200
while more serious sins like murder and other violent

behavior are romanticized and thief by the collective
hegemony, among others, is ignored or given lesser
attention. The Pope calls for a new balance and using the
church as a place to heal wounds and warm the hearts of the
faithful (Krogstad, Wisely, Hajishengallis & Bacon, 2013).
The interview of Pope Francis was conducted by Rev.
Antonio Spadaro, a fellow Jesuit and editor in chief of La
Civilta Cattolica. The America and other major Jesuit
journals arranged for a translation into English. The Pope
bluntly said that the church has been overly focused on
abortion, gay marriage and contraception. He pointed out
that the dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not
all equivalent. The Pope held that the church’s pastoral
ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a
disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently.
To do so, endangers the moral edifice of the church and
threatens the relevance of the Gospel (Stanglin, 2013).

In the interview, translated in America magazine, the

Pope points out that the church needs to serve as a field
hospital that heals the faithful. He continues that persons
must be considered over lifestyle. The Pope elevates the
value of women in the church by stating that “The feminine
genius is needed wherever we make important decisions”
(Ibid). Also promoting the value of women, the Pope
devalues self-righteous stigmatizations by believers who
sometimes lock themselves in “minor things and small
minded rules that weaken the church’s moral authority.” He
indicates that the church is the home of all, not a small chapel
that can take only a diminished group of chosen people. Pope
Francis sees God in everyone’s life irrespective of sins like
vices, drugs or anything else (The Associated Press, 2013).
The Universal Church of Jesus Christ as Pope Francis
envisions it should receive, not exclude, and show mercy,
not condemnation. The right path, he contends, for the
church and humanity is through profound peace, spiritual
solace, love of God and love of all things in God (Spadaro,
2013).
Jesus’ Message of Social Justice
Basic social justice refers to the rights to food, clothing,
shelter, medical care, education and adequate employment.
The foundation of Christianity’s involvement in these social
issues is founded on the Gospel of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Amos and
others in the Old Testament. These prophets called for fair
treatment of the disadvantaged. Jesus was aware of their
teachings. He used Isaiah’s social justice platform in the
address that launched his own public ministry (Smith, 2005).
The call to righteousness by Jesus regarding social
justice is evident in the Gospel of Matthew and Luke.
Righteousness refers to actions that are morally right or
justifiable in conjunction with divine law. Accordingly, a
hunger and thirst for righteousness arises from an outrage
and indignation over injustice and immorality. As Jesus
insisted, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of
202
the least of these, you did not do it to me” (Matthew 25: 45b).
“And these, he exclaimed, will go away into eternal
punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” (Matthew 25:
46) (Ibid).
Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew was addressing his
sentiment toward the poor and disdain toward the injustice
and mistreatment they experience. In Luke 6: 20b, Jesus
looks straight into the eyes of his humble audience and says,
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of
God” (Ibid). Those that advocate social justice today believe
that a temporary Kingdom of Heaven is achievable here in
the lives of the disfranchised and underprivileged. There
take from Jesus’ message is that this temporary Kingdom of
Heaven is a conceivable Christian mission.
Jesus on Feeding the Least Amongst Us
Jesus, the Christian role model for service to the Lord, in
Luke 4: 16-21, came to Nazareth and said “He has appointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to
proclaim release to the captives, and recover sight to the
blind, to set free those who are downtrodden…” Jesus did
not say “I am here to bless the rich or materially adorned and
successful.” He clearly does say, “Blessed are you who are
poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God. Blessed are you who
hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who
weep now, for you shall laugh” (Luke 6: 20-21). In James
2:5, it is inferred that God chose the poor of this world to be
rich in faith and beloved heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven
(Tapin & Fishman, 1989). The conservative Christian’s
attitude of disdain and unfairness toward the poor contradicts
Jesus’ message.
In Deuteronomy 15:7, it is written that “If there is a poor
man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of
the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall
not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor
brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and
generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he
203
lacks.” The Bible in Proverbs 31: 8ff, points out that “judge
righteously, and defend the rights of the afflicted and
needy.” These Gospels, among others, as believers, it is our
responsibility to help the poor rather than ignore or
stigmatize them (Ibid). True Christians serve the poor. They
will be rewarded, according to proverb 19: 17, “He who is
gracious to a poor man lends to the Lord and he will repay
him for his good deed.” Serving money and self-interest are
clearly antithetical to serving the poor and God (Ibid).
Those that oppress the needy and deny them subsistence
and justice face consequences. In Isaiah 10: 1-3, “Woe to
those who enact evil statutes, and to those who continually
record unjust decisions, so as to deprive the needy of justice,
and rob the poor of my people of their rights.” In Luke 1:
52ff, God is seen as filling the hungry with good things and
sending the rich away empty-handed. The Lord, according
to Ezekiel 22: 29, 31, promised that “The people have
practiced oppression and committed robbery, and they have
wronged the poor and needy and have oppressed the
sojourner without justice. Thus, I have poured out my
indignation on them…” In James 5: 1-6, it is written “Come
now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are
coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your
garments have become moth-eaten… Behold, the pay of the
laborers who mowed your fields, and with you, have
withheld, cries out against you; and the outcry of the
harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord… You have
lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton
pleasures; you have fattened your hearts in a day of
slaughter” (Ibid). Contrary to the modern Tea party and so-
called Christian Fundamentalist Republicans who are
pursuing budgetary cuts that rob food stamps and other
assistance for the poor, the Gospel calls on believers to plead
the cause of the poor, advocate and defend their rights to
subsistence and fair treatment.
204
Without a righteous spirit in our response to the poor and

needy there are numerous mistakes in the need for corrective
action. Proverbs 29: 7, in regards to this righteous spirit,
states “The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor;
the wicked does not understand such concern.” Matthew 6:
24, makes it clear that individuals have but two choices to
either serve self-interest or the neediest of God’s children.
This scripture states that “No one can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold
to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and
Money.”
In Timothy 6: 10, the choice of money is antithetical to
the will of God as state “For the love of money is the root of
all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered
away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a
pang” (Ibid). Obviously, those that exhort tax cuts for the
wealthy at the expense of the poorest Americans are
violating these scriptures of the Bible and the will of God.
They seldom prosecute accountants that steal from their
clients and corporations cheating taxpayers, CEOs making
millions while their companies fail, politicians spending
money they do not have to benefit their wealthiest
contributors are sins before God, his word and judgment.
They may claim they are Christians by virtue of their
donations on Sunday, but undo these contributions by taking
advantage of the less privileged six out of seven days a week
or more.
It is clear that God takes the side of the poor and in Jesus;
he puts himself in their place. It is written in the Gospel of
the Lord, 2 Corinthian 8-9, that “For you know the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your
sake he became poor, that you through his poverty might
become rich (in the spirit of the Lord). Jesus and his father
take the issue on poverty personally. As in Proverb 19: 17,
to be blessed by him, “He who is gracious to a poor man lent
to the Lord, and he will repay him for his good deed.” In
205
addition, Proverb 14: 31 states “He who oppresses the poor

reproaches his Maker, but he who is gracious to the needy
honor him.” A church or so-called Christian nation that
ignores its poor or places stumbling blocks in their way,
who’s supreme good is avarice, is very far from the spirit of
God. Salvation, particularly for those professing to be
Christians, depends on how we collectively treat the poorest
and the most afflicted (Ibid).
The Movement to Apply Christ’s Message to the
Plight of the Poor and Needy
The Protestants began a Social Gospel Movement to
apply Jesus’ message in the early 20th century in the United
States and Canada. Christian ethics were applied to social
problems, especially issues of social justice, such as
economic inequality, poverty, alcoholism, crime, racial
tensions, slums, bad hygiene, child labor, inadequate labor
unions, poor schools and the damage of mass conflicts. The
Social Gospellers applied Matthew 6: 10, “Thy Kingdom
come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” They
believed that the Second Coming would be delayed until
humankind rid itself of social evils by its own efforts. The
leadership of the movement was predominantly associated
with the liberal wing of the Progressive Movement (Gill,
2011).
The Social Gospel Movement arose as a response to
increased poverty levels and the low quality of living in city
slums. The movement provided a religious rationale to
address the rising concerns. Activist hoped that enforcing
schooling and public health measures would help the poor
develop talents and skills that improve the quality of their
moral lives. Their mission would be extended to labor
reforms, such as abolishing child labor and regulating the
hours of work by mothers. They became a wing of the
Progressive Movement and would encompass the Civil
Rights Movement and Christians Against Poverty (Evans,
2001). A religious extension of Protestant America,
206
especially the Presbyterians, they proclaimed a gospel of the

salvation of humankind; the shelter, nurture, and spiritual
fellowship of the children of God. These goals extended to
the preservation of truth; the promotion of social
righteousness; and the exhibit of the Kingdom of Heaven to
the world (Rogers & Blade, 1998).
The Social Gospel Movement was established by Walter
Rauschenbusch, a Baptist pastor. He introduced A Theology
for the Social Gospel (1917) to make it effective, vital and
relevant. In performing so, Rauschenbusch created a
theology that was systematic and large enough to match this
ideology. His goal was to make the social gospel a
permanent addition to our spiritual outlook and a step
forward in the development of the Christian religion
(Rauschenbusch, 1917).
Rauschenbusch critiques the conservative approach to
sinfulness that makes such behavior on the individual level
a problem, but it fails to shed light on institutional sinfulness.
He believes this approach does not evoke faith in the will
and the power of God to redeem the permanent institutions
of human society from their inherited guilt of oppression and
extortion. The Rauschenbusch’s perspective would be taken
up by liberation theologians and civil rights advocates such
as Martin Luther King, Jr., and Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC), in their quest for social
justice for the downtrodden, needy and scorned. He believed
his proposed theology of the social gospel that was followed
by liberation theologians and civil rights advocates was
derived from the spoken words of Jesus Christ and his
Church. Rauschenbusch believed that the pursuit of a
“Kingdom of God” would serve as a means to correct the
Church and redirect it as a social and political force that can
save the problematic sinful social order (Ibid).
Importance of Fraternity
Pope Francis as the leading spokesman for the Universal
Church of Christ announced in his first statement of 2014
207
that fraternity is the foundation and pathway to peace. The

most prominent messenger of Jesus Christ on earth today, he
insists that fraternity is a prerequisite for fighting poverty. In
addition, Francis claims that fraternity helps to preserve and
cultivate nature (Vatican, 2014).
Pope Francis meets children at the Vatican, Saturday,
Dec. 14, 2013 (See Image 73). Pope Francis has received a
candle-topped birthday cake three days early, a surprise from
children at the Vatican. The pontiff turns 77 on Dec. 17. A
group of children on Saturday presented him with the treat
after he visited a Vatican dispensary which provides
pediatric care. Francis blew out the candles. Thanking the
youngsters for the cake, he promised: "I'll tell you later if it's
good or not." The dispensary on the Vatican grounds has
been distributing for more than 90 years’ milk, clothing,
diapers, toys and even baby carriages to families in need. He
has turned his words into good deeds.

The Holy Father claims that “within the heart of every

man and woman is an irrepressible longing for fraternity.”
This need, Francis argues, draws us to fellowship with others
and enables us to see each other as brothers and sisters as
opposed to enemies or rivals. This fraternity, he sees, is
currently challenged by rampant individualism, egocentrism
and material consumerism and weakened social bonds
fueled by these new ideologies and their ‘throw away’
mentality which leads to contempt for and abandonment of,
the weakest and those considered “useless” (Ibid). This point
completely contradicts conservative Ayn Rand/Social
Darwinist political aims and policies.
The Pope’s interpretation of human fraternity is tied to
message of, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He
views the Cross as the definitive foundational locus of this
fraternity of humankind. Francis sees that all who accept the
life of Christ and live in him acknowledge God as Father and
give themselves completely to him, loving him above all
things (Ibid). This means that if you love Jesus and God the
Father you follow their message of justice and mercy to the
poor, needy and less privilege. The new ideologies of Ayn
Rand/Social Darwinism based on greed, rampant
individualism, egocentrism and material consumerism must
not take precedents over charity and justice for the least of
us.
The Holy Father claims that “the reconciled person sees
in God the Father a life of fraternity open to all. In Christ,
the ‘other’ is welcomed and loved as a son or daughter of
God, as a brother or sister, not as a stranger, much less as a
rival or even an enemy.” These words repudiate xenophobia,
ethnocentrism, racism and other rationales that exclude the
vast majority of the human race from an adequate standard
of living. The pontiff points out that “where all sons and
daughters of the same Father… there are no disposable
lives.” According to the teachings of Jesus Christ, he states,
“All men and women enjoy an equal and inviolable dignity.
209
All are loved by God. All have been redeemed by the blood
of Christ, who died on the Cross and rose for all.” He holds
that for this reason no one can remain indifferent before the
lot of our brothers and sisters (Ibid).
To the pontiff, fraternity is the basis and pathway of
peace. He states that the duty of solidarity requires that the
richer nations assist the less developed. A duty of social
justice is also required. To Francis, it realigns the
relationships between stronger and weaker people in terms
of fairness. Next, he points to the duty of universal charity,
which entails the promotion of a more humane world for all.
This just world consists of give and take whereby the
progress of one does not constitute an obstacle to the
development of the other. These duties are derived from
Encyclical Letter, Populorum Progressio, submitted by
Pope Paul VI (Ibid). Drawing from Pope John Paul II’s
Encyclical Letter, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis, Pope Francis
believes that fraternity and peace cannot be guided by a
“desire for profit” or a “thirst for power.” He states “What is
needed is the willingness to ‘lose ourselves’ for the sake of
others rather than exploit them, and ‘serve them’ instead of
oppressing them for our own advantage. The other – whether
a person or nation … with a work capacity and physical
strength to be exploited at low cost and then discarded when
no longer useful” is our brother or sister. Francis points out
that Christian solidarity presumes that the “other” is a human
being with his or her own rights and a fundamental equality
with everyone else. The “other” is made in the living image
of God the Father, redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ and
placed under the permanent action of the Holy Spirit (Ibid).
Overcoming Poverty and Economic Injustice
According to the Holy Father, poverty is caused by the
lack of fraternity between people. The lack of solid family
and community relationships causes a profound poverty of
relationships. Francis believes this phenomenon causes
increases in various types of hardship, marginality,
210
alienation and various forms of pathological dependencies.

The resulting poverty, he claims, can only be overcome
through the rediscovery and valuing of fraternal
relationships in the heart of families and communities
through Christ. This relative poverty undermines the gains
in absolute poverty (Ibid).
According to the pontiff, “there is a serious rise in
relative poverty… instances of inequality between people
and groups… Effective policies are needed to promote the
principle of fraternity, securing for people – who are equal
in dignity and in fundamental rights – access to capital,
services, educational resources, healthcare and technology
so that every person has the opportunity to express and
realize his or her life project and can develop fully as a
person.” Francis points out the validity of the Church are
taught on social mortgage whereby when people possess
goods not only for their good that are in common to others
as well, the benefits must be shared. Respectively, he points
out that this social mortgage demands policies which can
lighten excessive imbalances between incomes (Ibid). This
call for economic justice and fairness aligns with Liberals
and Progressive policies on this matter. Conservative
pundits have asserted that the pope’s points on economic
fairness are Marxist.
The outrages continue on the Right which claims they
are Christian, but ignore the message of God and Christ to
threat the poor and needy as themselves with love, mercy,
charity and fairness. In respect to the true message of
Christianity, the Holy Father states from the pundits of the
rich and powerful, “… the greedy pursuit of material goods
on one hand, and in the impoverishment of interpersonal and
community relations on the other.” He goes on to claim that
this kind of impoverishment “have pushed man to seek
satisfaction, happiness and security in consumption and
earnings out of all proportion to the principles of a sound
economy” (Ibid). This perspective clearly undermines the
211
thrust of the Right on a global scale that have escalated

relative poverty since the end of the Cold War and the rise
of conservative retrenchment.
Overcoming Corruption, Avarice and Folly
To the pontiff, corruption and organized crime threaten
fraternity. A balance between freedom and justice created by
fraternity generates social peace, personal responsibility,
transparency and solidarity that mitigate corruption and
organized crime. The latter, he points out, creates a wedge
between citizens and institutions with partisan interests
which disfigure that relationship, fostering the creation of an
enduring climate of conflict. Fraternity overcomes the
individual selfishness which conflicts with people’s ability
to live in freedom and harmony among themselves. The
pontiff claims that corruption and organized crime which
fosters illicit money trafficking and financial speculation,
evident in Western economies, often proves both predatory
and harmful for entire economic and social systems,
exposing millions to poverty (Ibid).
Next, Francis points out that greed and the arrogance of
dominion, possession. Manipulation and exploitation have
undermined humanity’s God-given stewardship of nature.
Christians are called upon to exercise responsible
stewardship that preserves nature, respects it, as a gracious
gift which we must care for generations to come. Francis
argues that as stewards of nature, we must ensure that our
agriculture production benefits all. He states, “We need,
then, to find ways by which all may benefit from the fruits
of the earth, not only to avoid the widening gap between
those who have more and those who must be content with
crumbs … because it is a question of justice, equality and
respect for every human being” (Ibid).
The pontiff concludes in the first message of 2014 that
“Fraternity needs to be discovered, loved, experienced,
proclaimed and witnessed to.” Only through Christ, he
points out, can the humanity bestowed by the Creator be
212
upheld. As spoken, “For God sent the Son into the world not
to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved
through him” (John 3: 17). The Pope points out that
according to Luke 22: 26-27, Jesus Christ says - “I am
among you who serves.” Service to people and God’s
creations, as emphasized, is in God and Christ paramount to
self-service, greed, overconsumption and materialism.
Earlier on October 21, 2013, Pope Francis in his morning
message during Mass stated that greed, attachment to
money, destroys people, families and relationships with
others. Money leads to idolatry which is contrary to what
God has done for us. The pontiff warns, “Take care to guard
against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does
not consist of possessions (Radio Vatican, 2013). The
message suggests that “money is the root of all evil.”
Later in December 30, 2013, Pope Francis rebuked
Church’s alliance with Republicans in waging a cultural was
against abortion and gay marriage. He urged bishops to
spend more time healing their flock and less time engaging
in political battles. Francis’ position on these concerns is
“Who am I to judge?” It is aligned with Jesus’ statement “He
who without sin cast the first stone.” Aligned with his
remarks, Pope Francis recently removed a conservative
American cardinal from a key Vatican committee after the
cardinal said, “One gets the impression … that (the Pope)
thinks we’re talking too much about abortion and gay
marriage. But we can never talk enough about that.”
The more inclusive Pope Francis is urging a renewed
focus on serving the poor and needy. The Francis message
of inclusivity and economic justice is supported by 88
percent of America’s Catholics and three-quarters of non-
Catholics in a CNN poll taken shortly before Christmas. His
popularity has landed him on the cover of Time and other
magazines as person of the year (Ibid). His message can
potentially reverse or stabilize the dwindling membership in
the Church by making sure it is relevant to the concerns of a
213
majority of the believers and potential members in the 21st

century.
