I learned of the origin of man through the works of Chekih Anta Diop (my Idol), the Senegalese scholar. To me his most seminal works were The African Origin of Civilization, Pre-Colonial Black Africa and Civilization or Barbarism. It was him that I learned of the lineage of homo habillis, Homo erectus and homo sapien sapien (all in Africa). This is just a preface, since for the last two days I have been hanging out on Bankhead with my folk D4L at their studio. I say this because I have written a few essays but have been thinking about stuff, that I thin I should understand being that I am homo sapien sapien. Many of which come from the consternation proffered by the cathode ray tube. Here goes.1] Ugly Betty. How don’t seem ugly to me but is rather finer than a mug.
2] Grey’s Anatomy. It is nothing like the book.
3] Human vegetarians that have incisors and Canines which by design are made to shred meat.
4] Women suggesting that Jay-Z is fine – when did this happen.
5] A woman not giving head to her man, and a man that don’t consume kitty.
6] Over-looking the history of a nation such as Turkey for genocidal crimes because they let us use their military runways to take supplies to Iraq.
7] Dr. Marvin Weinbaum, scholar-in-residence at. Middle East Institute (How can a person of Jewish descent be an expert on Islam – this is not anti-Semitic.
8] Why mainstream America see the most defining event of our time being 9/11 and the war in Iraq as opposed to Racism.
Just a few things that I don’t understand and makes me feel un worthy of my status as homo sapien sapien.
