Not willing to try...believing its fate that you can't live decently or that your folks are better blessed or that you are a lesser mortal than should only be helped instead of working out solutions from within
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. –Albert Einstein.

Thats the tragedy of our education, we were forced to learn things about the British and how they were benevolent enough to colonize us, complete waste of my brain cells! Up until high school , I thought slavery was just something that happened in the series Roots, I didnt realize it was real life. So I consciously try to de-learn things that I consider useless that were forced down my throat. Muindi Mbingu is the Kamba leader who led the revolution in Kao land when the british govt conducted the destocking exercise. It is believed he is the one who coined the maumau word from the kamba language where Umau means guka or grandfather if you like. So Muindi mbingu lead a group of farmers who came to courier corps (now kariokor) and carried out a rally there saying " “twenda kwikala ta maau mau maitu, twithye ngombe ta Mau mau maitu, nundu nthi ino ni ya maau mau maitu. (We want to live like our grandfathers, keep cattle like our grandfathers, for the land we live on is our grandfathers). The colonialist later accused him of being the founder of “Mau Mau uprising “- the Mau Mau is accredited to this brave nationalist. Source Thanks for the info!

I was doing some reasearch and stumbled on a documentary, which depicts Africans as the real Jews. The documentary pins down many proofs from the Bible where God eventually abandoned the tribe (Jews black people) because they became rebelious when they walked away from the LAW/commandments... I can't remember the title.

I can't remember the title. I dread religious talks but here is what Alpha. The law was given to Moses, but Grace and Truth came by Jesus.It's called the Dispensation of Grace,a new chapter and beginning which supercedes the old dispensation. Quote:The first covenant was in these terms,—"You do right, and God will reward you for it. If you deserve life, God will give it to you." Now,that covenant was broken all to pieces; it was unable to stand by reason of the weakness of our flesh and the corruptness of our nature. So God set aside that first covenant, he put it away as an outworn and useless thing; and he brought in a new covenant,—the covenant of grace; and in our text we see what is the tenor of it: "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts." by is spirit. @ Alpha always know that 'Good works'= The Law are as filthy rags before the Lord. Isaiah 64.6 Grace is what.
