CHAPTER 1

Colonialism

"We should never forget our past history because many humanbeings will be inclined to repeat certain atrocities as we moveforward. We must truthfully analyze history in order to prevent thesame mistakes again. We can not sweep the negative past under therug. It must be atoned for as the guilt parties admit the truth. Weshould also have the intelligence to respect all people and treat themthe way we expect to be treated. Money is not intelligence. TheCommandments of God and the Teachings of Jesus Christ made thisvery plain to us long ago. White racists ignored these instructionsand went against God in order to get what they wanted on earth.They can not teach people about God, and then go against Him".

Colonization takes place whenever one or more species populatean area. According to Webster's Dictionary and (Wikipedia.com),Colonialism deals with this definition as well as the ruling of newterritories and its people. To settle on uninhabited land is one thinghowever, when the new land is already inhabited by native people,human decency should tell everyone that total respect should alwaysbe given unto them. There were many people living in Africa whencolonialism began. All inhumane and destructive human beingsalways go to an extreme in certain things they do. Evil people thinkit is normal for countries with strong militaries to take over weakercountries that don't have weapons of destruction. Their greed is themain cause for these actions. We are not wild animals. We are humanbeings and should act accordingly. European racists were supposedto be human beings during the colonial invasions.

Over six hundred years ago, the continent of Africa began experiencinga large series of crimes committed by Europeans. Those crimescreated problems for most Africans. Africa would have been muchfarther ahead without colonialism. Unfair trade agreements alsohampered Africa's progress. Europeans didn't care about fairness.They had other things in mind. They remained in Africa doing theirthings for centuries. Many racists are still in South Africa acting likewild animals. Lions and tigers can't match the Dutch in damagingthe continent or the people.

European and Holland's crimes and apartheid still have negativeeffects on many people around the world today. They also spreadmany deadly diseases to Africans. Later in history, European'sspread other deadly diseases to the Americas wiping out millions ofNative Americans according to the History Channel (2) documentary"Mankind Decoded—Connecting the World". The same thingshappened in Hawaii, Australia and other places European explorerssailed to. Why use genocide on these innocent people and then takeover their lands? That sounds like something Martians do. We must"Love thy neighbors as they selves". Hating your neighbors equateto hating yourselves because of the evil hatred within the ones whohate others.

After the African rip-off was proceeding according to their plans,Europeans started sailing to other parts of the world repeating thesame and even more violent crimes elsewhere. Prof. Henry LewisGates of Harvard University said it best when he stated in the abovedocumentary "These were among the most horrendous andpainful moments in human history". Dr. Gates also included theslave trade among those horrendous moments. No living personcan deny these facts. Their different opinions are merely alibis andcover-ups. Colonialism may have helped a few Africans in certainways however its overall effect was devastating.

The crimes of Colonialism have endangered the livelihoods manypeople and had a negative effect on all of Africa. It created moreproblems than it solved. Colonialism also enriched many Europeans,Arabians and other colonizers. That is why Colonialism is an act ofcriminals. White racists don't like hearing the truth about them whenit is negative. They think the writers of "the negatives of racism" areangry or dislike racists. If the truth hurts you, then you are guilty anddon't want the facts known to others.

Children as well as adults in schools and colleges everywhere takehistory each year in most cases. These history books should be asaccurate and in-depth as possible. If racists Europeans had stayedout of Africa, that continent and the world today would be muchbetter off. The same is true about the Roman European's invasionof Jerusalem during the days before Jesus Christ. Their greed andhatred has ruined many good things on earth. Many times importantfacts are excluded from history for different reasons. That could bebecause the authors are uplifting certain people, belittling others. Thetruth should always be explained if possible. Some people believe thewrong facts about past histories weather they are incorrect are not.In these situations, only a few know the truth.

When certain countries commit evil acts against others, they needpowerful armies to protect themselves against revengeful attacksfrom the victims. They also need powerful armies to commit the evilactions in the first place. That's why we see many wealthy countrieswith strong militaries. We all know that Colonial Explorers destroyedmany historical and cultural records of native lands they discoveredfor Europe. Those records were usually rewritten and in most caseswere not factual. Christopher Columbus is briefly discussed later inthis chapter. If people today want more of the truth other than whatthey read in this book, they should read the Holy Bible every dayof their lives. Just because some people may be well known tocertain others doesn't mean they are always accurate. AmericanRepublicans are well known everywhere today. They are neveraccurate about anything. Today in America, many wealthy peopleand street gangs are buying Assault Rifles, 9MM's and AK-47's etc.I wonder why that is happening. "We are a peaceful country".

Arabia and Portugal were among the first colonial invasions of Africabeginning around 632 A.D. and 1415 A.D. respectively. Their crimeswere erroneously called Arabian and European Colonialism. Theywere both major thefts in World History. Things began to go haywirein Africa after Europeans invaded in the 1415 as many traditionswere forced to change. Colonialism almost destroyed the entirecontinent. The main source of today's racism...
