African slaves were brought to America for purposes of physical labor. In time when physical labor or slavery came to an end, the slave master moved the once slaves into physical entertainment; boxing, baseball and comedy. Still, serious thinking was not involved; just hit the ball, hit the opponent or follow the script. Serious thinking was pretty much left up to the European. In fact, African Americans were considered shiftless, lazy and unable of constructive thought.
When African Americans learned to read, again, following the emancipation proclamation.....we could recite what was in the book, but thinking about what was said meant trouble. The problem is that until African Americans learn to THINK, we must rely on what the establishment tells up. Signs that are obvious on the wall will not be able to be interpreted by us. For example, here is an easy one...why did Almighty God send hurricane katrina to destroy American land heavily occupied by voodoo worshippers and believers in idols ?
