We start a new series exploring the Maroon presence in Latin America. Today we examine Maroons in Panama and Colombia. A new bill granting Afro-Mexicans legal recognition in the Mexican constitution is being debated. What are the implications of this bill for Afro­Mexicans? The Global African host Bill Fletcher looks at these issues with Dr. Sheila Walker, Executive Director at AfroDiaspora Inc, Dr. Msomi Moor, Professor at University of the District of Columbia, and Walter Thompson­Hernandez, researcher at the Center for Immigrant Integration at the University of Southern California. teleSUR http://multimedia.telesurtv.ne....t/v/the-global-afric

THE GREEK ORIGINS OF SPECULATIVE PHILOSOPHY
by
Dr Kiatezua Lubanzadio Luyaluka, Ph.D.(hon)

THREE REASONS WHY PHILOSOPHY, AS A SPECULATIVE DISCIPLINE, COULD NEVER ORIGINATE FROM ANCIENT EGYPTIANS.

1. In his book entitled "Stolen Legacy", James shows us that the points, on which ancient Greek philosophers speculated, were the same ones discussed by the Egyptian religion. Now, we demonstrate that this religion is an EXACT SCIENCE (see on www.amazon.com our book titled BUKÔNGO). The Egyptians therefore could not speculate on what they had exact knowledge of.
2. The epistemology of ancient Egypt, like that of today's south-Saharan Africa, was based on the freedom of the soul from the body. In such a paradigm knowledge is above all revelation, and induction always has a low profile. Hence, speculation cannot set itself up as a discipline.
3. No one can name a single African village where speculation has taken up a stand as a discipline. On the contrary, when a contradiction appears, the elders always say: "Let's sleep and may the head have a dream". How in such an epistemological context could speculation take root in our ancestors?

Philosophy, as a speculative discipline, was originated from the Greeks, and from the fact that the Egyptians hid from them the solar religion, an exact science. Thus, starting from the bits which they gleaned by the inadvertence of their Masters, the Greek students filled their knowledge by using speculation.

We should therefore NEVER confuse philosophy as scientific knowledge in general (which is of Egyptian origin) and philosophy as a speculative discipline (which is of Greek origin).

#Patrice Lumumba #AfricanLiberation #Pan-AfricanismMovement #FightAgainstColonialism. "This has to be one of the greatest ever presentations on YouTube.....ever!" Learn how "the cancer of betrayal." as Amilcar Cabral called it, still permeates Africa to the detriment of all Africans everywhere!!!

We owe a great debt to our revolutionary freedom fighters. All Africans need to watch this presentation and learn of the sacrifices that were made for our freedom. This is certainly one of the most moving and heart wrenching presentations that I have watched, but they lived it we can at least watch it, learn from it and share it lessons.
