Can it be argued that in every culture on this planet that has a documented and lengthy history of race based prejudice, discrimination, hatred, or violence towards those with darker complexions, the beings commonly referred to as the “Fallen Angels” were worshiped by those in power?
Can the hatred shown towards black people on this planet regardless of gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, age, occupation, social status, etc., be traced to the fallen angels’ resentment of having to bow before what they considered “the inferior creation?”
“Across cultures darker people suffer most. Why?” (Andre 3000)
“Beyond my conception of ignorance and deliberate ill will as causes of race prejudice, [I came to realize that] there must be other and more stronger and more threatening forces, forming the founding stones of race antagonism, which we had only begun to attack or perhaps in reality had not attacked at all.” (W.E.B. Du Bois, The Dusk of Dawn (New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1940), p. 282.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The Latin text has been supplied by Mr. Wilfried Lechner-Schmidt. It basically follows the Group I text from which Meyer printed in his critical edition ["Vita Adae et Evae" Abhandlungen der koeniglichen Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Philsoph.-philologische Klasse. Munich: 14.3: 185-250] It has been translated by B. Custis with the assistance of G. Anderson and R. Layton
THE LIFE OF ADAM AND EVE
Fall of Satan - [go to original Latin]
12.1 Groaning, the Devil said: "O Adam, all my enmity, jealousy, and resentment is towards you, since on account of you I was expelled and alienated from my glory, which I had in heaven in the midst of the angels. On account of you I was cast out upon the earth."
12.2 Adam answered: "What have I done to you?
12.3 What fault do I have against you? Since you have not been harmed nor injured by us, why do you persecute us?"
13.1 The Devil answered: "Adam what are you saying to me? On account of you I was cast out from heaven.
13.2 When you were formed, I was cast out from the face of ? and was sent forth from the company of the angels. When ? blew into you the breath of life and your countenance and likeness were made in the image of ? , Michael led you and made you worship in the sight of ? . The Lord ? then said: 'Behold, Adam, I have made you in our image and likeness.'
14.1 Having gone forth Michael called all the angels saying: 'Worship the image of the Lord ? , just as the Lord ? has commanded.'
14.2 Michael himself worshipped first then he called me and said: 'Worship the image of ? Jehovah.'
14.3 I answered: 'I do not have it within me to worship Adam.' When Michael compelled me to worship, I said to him: 'Why do you compel me? I will not worship him who is lower and posterior to me. I am prior to that creature. Before he was made, I had already been made. He ought to worship me.'
15.1 Hearing this, other angels who were under me were unwilling to worship him.
15.2 Michael said: 'Worship the image of ? . If you do not worship, the Lord ? will grow angry with you.'
15.3 said: 'If he grows angry with me, I will place my seat above the stars of heaven and I will be like the Most High.'
16.1 Then the Lord ? grew angry with me and sent me forth with my angels from our glory. On account of you we were expelled from our dwelling into this world and cast out upon the earth.
16.2 Immediately we were in grief, since we had been despoiled of so much glory,
16.3 and we grieved to see you in such a great happiness of delights.
16:4 By a trick I cheated your wife and caused you to be expelled through her from the delights of your happiness, just as I had been expelled from my glory."
17.1 Hearing this, Adam cried out with a great shout because of the Devil, and said: "O Lord my ? , in your hands is my life. Make this adversary of mine be far from me, who seeks to ruin my soul. Give me his glory which he himself lost."
17.2 Immediately the Devil no longer appeared to him.
17.3 Adam truly persevered for forty days standing in penitence in the waters of the Jordan.

An African American Paternal Lineage Adds an Extremely Ancient Root to the Human Y Chromosome Phylogenetic Tree
We report the discovery of an African American Y chromosome that carries the ancestral state of all SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism) that defined the basal portion of the Y chromosome phylogenetic tree…
Genotyping of a DNA sample that was submitted to a commercial genetic-testing facility demonstrated that the Y chromosome of this African American individual carried the ancestral state of all known Y chromosome SNPs…
We thank Jacqueline Johnson and her male cousins, the descendants of Albert Perry (South Carolina), as well as participating Family Tree DNA customers.

"Almost every marginalized group that cites evidence of violence, especially police violence and abuse, is actually citing statistics against African-American members of that group."

THERE is a book called guns germs and steel that basically explains why europeans were able to take over the world it presents a good theory and when you extend to it asia and other parts of the world it also explains why the lighter skinned people were able to dominate the darker ones just about anywhere on this planet.

It's really simple. Europeans came to Africa, caught an inferiority complex at the mere sight of Africans and went out of their way to destroy us.

Exactly, that's what it comes down too. The climate in Africa and its many resources at the time allowed people to become comfortable, thinking in a natural circle more or less. It wasn't necessary evolution wise to make great change because much of the environment had everything they needed but of course there are other reasons too, animals and unique diseases, threats, etc -

That book has many great points as well, most I can agree with. Unique diseases and threats created all kinds of changes in the world that many in warmer climates did not have to deal with. The manifestations of that created the world we basically see now. -

White people definitely have done this a lot and it also created the world we see today. There is a reason Spanish and English are the most spoken languages around the world, and most of that is because of wars and colonialism from Europeans. Europeans set back the progress of many places around the world, that is a historical fact.
But to be fair, other races have played command and conquest too. The biggest warlord of all time is Asian, but Europeans did ruin the world for many people for a long time. Would Europe be as rich and well of now if it wasn't for them plundering the resources of nations around the world? I highly doubt it. -

Knowing history can help you not repeat it, BUT that's not enough!
1. Armed with this info what's next? What do we do with it. Where do we go from here?
Because of my skin and my life's experiences I'm on auto-bias. I automatically believe all that I read or come across because I relate to it and in a small way have experienced it (nothing like our ancestors).
But, since I was a kid (now 35) I've always felt like the Bible and history is a lie. It's exactly that, His - Story. Someones account to gain the masses, control them through religion and smoke and mirrors, etc. Exactly how we view European/Caucasians have done to stay on top.
2. Do not misinterpret what I'm saying, but how does one verify historic facts?
I hope I explained myself well, I might edit this numerous times lol
@cobbland and everyone else who contributed to the thread. Thank you very much for posting. You have no idea how valuable this is to me. -

@cobbland and everyone else who contributed to the thread. Thank you very much for posting. You have no idea how valuable this is to me.
Im 39 and i am sure i have been conscious my entire life. I hated church. I only spent the night at family and friends houses who didnt go to church. I missed out on soooo many probably good relationships because i began to distance myself from them when they continue to invite me to their church without getting the hint or clue that i aint down with that ? . And i knew nothing. Had no knowledge. Just a ? who was a heathen.
I became conscious in 92 while attending a seminar at kent state. The speaker was wack, but he was exposing things i never heard before. i was only 16 and a jr, but still. Lincoln may had black blood. jesse jackson directly help ? MLK. I found out who malcolm x was a month before i saw the movie. I found out that i was African, that day too. An African who happened to be born in america. If my mom gave birth to me in an oven, would i be a biscuit?
i joined the service, and was always in-tune to the racism. people confused me loving Black people so much with hating white people. I wasnt mean to people, but it was obvious that i wasnt too chummy with them. The one i was cool with, i wrote about his sister in the scumbag thread. But i couldnt do a career in the service because i knew i could never compromise my integrity and play the game. I knew too much and wasnt as blind as other brothers.
I got out and was an education/history major in school. learned alot, got alot of questions answers, but didnt know it was all ? until recently. i have since, raised my level of consciousness. I had to know why, Black people, "african-americans" get it worse than everyone. The most hated. So much so, we hate each other. Systems were designed and put in place to contain us. rule us. govern us. Why us? Now I know, and now i understand, and it makes me a better person. I can now call myself "smart" without referring to any degrees.
U asked "1. Armed with this info what's next? What do we do with it. Where do we go from here?"
Waking people up does wonders. when you are awake, you can see the matrix. Why do more people care about a wack rapper like meek mills getting bodied by drake, and not the Black woman killed in jail? Like, why? Once u know why, then youre like "oooohhhhhh."
why are we christians when we know it was the slavemasters religion?
why do we think its cool to litter, rob, ? , in our own community, but wont dare do it to white ones?
why are you judged so harshly by what clothes and shoes you wear, by other poor black people?
