1 OPENING Recessive Genetic Malfunction the American 1 OPENING Recessive Genetic Malfunction The American Anthropological Association (AAA) asserts the U.S. Government phase out the term “race” in collecting Federal data because the concept has no scientific justification in human biology. The analysis of genetics (DNA) indicates 94% of all physical variations remain within “racial groups.” Conventional geographic “racial” groupings differ from one another at only six percent (6%). Larger variations exist within “racial” groups than between them. In bordering populations throughout the global world there are OVERLAPPING genes and phenotypic expressions. If the origin of humanity started in Africa, mankind came from Black Africans—ONE global race. Members of the AAA know that continuing to use the term “race” demonstrates a further division and alteration of the recessive gene. The term “race” is being used as a CAMOUFLAGE to squelch the changing phenotypes of mankind blending together? Scientists are trying to form one BIG “Caucasian Cluster” to stop White genetic annihilation. The term “race” continues to imply inequality. Scientific American recently featured an article about the ALU Chromosome. The Chromosome is referred to as the “Jumping Gene” and reproduces by copying and inserting itself into new chromosome locations. The latest Genome Project confirms Africans are the purest race on Earth with 95% of the gene. Europeans have 75% of the ALU Chromosome, while 60% of Asians have the same chromosome. Europeans and Asians have 50% each of the chromosomes found in each other. On the other hand, only five percent of Negroid/Africans have a chromosome found in Europeans and Asians. Scientific American records ONE global race? 2 Table of Contents Page Opening Recessive Genetic Malfunction 1 Chapter 1 Survival Tactics vs. Massive Die-Off 3 Chapter 2 Changing the Color of History 27 Chapter 3 White World Division Against Itself 39 Chapter 4 Producers of The Psychological 55 White Dominance Center Chapter 5 Invisible Men 75 Chapter 6 Theology Tethers: The 88 Whitewashed Whoring of Christianity Chapter 7 The Millennium’s Vanishing Masters 116 Chapter 8 Warren Harding’s Death Warrant: 126 Blackness Chapter 9 The Caucasian Origin of Mankind 136 Chapter 10 Biological Assimilation & Global 152 Racial Cleansing Chapter 11 Arsenals of Mass Annihilation 167 Conclusion 178 Afterthought 192 3 Chapter 1 Survival Tactics vs. Massive Die-Off The Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Directive 15 designates which racial and ethnic categories are used in the U.S. Census and in other innumerable public and private research projects. According to the AAA, the U.S. Government should phase out use of the term “race” because the concept has no scientific justification in human biology. Donald Trump 45th President coined the slogan, “Make America Great Again” (MAGA). What he was saying incognito to America--“Make America White Again.” It starts when people associate themselves automatically with others who do not look like them. People favor others they feel are a part of their "in-group" over those considered to be outsiders and not in the mainstream. It is similar to “White Flight” from residential areas. Once a neighborhood turns 25 percent Black, White people take FLIGHT to new surroundings. Psychologists call it “identification”. People in the U.S. automatically segregate themselves spontaneously and instinctually. The MAGA Movement is akin to the following: current statistics show that--over 50 percent of school children are students of color. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), “State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary and Secondary Education,” out of 50.7 million public school students, 23.4 are WHITE (2020). For the past 400 years, Americans have been distinguished by race, classified by color, and separated by color piloting a national Color Assault Psychosis in the subconscious of all Americans. Presently, there is an unparalleled remodeling 4 by Euro-American physical anthropologists to genetically bombard Negroid DNA. Black and Brown people are being formulated and reclassified as members of the Caucasian Race. The new term is to distinguish people by “ethnic groups.” The former classified “Colored” People of the world now live as “ethnic groups” with the diminishing term designating the term “race.” The measure points to survival of the recessive gene (homozygous recessive). Today race is being hidden behind the country of origin. Have you heard of a person whose race is Puerto Rican or Cuban? It is the country of national origin—not race but culture. Over 70 percent of Cubans have visible Black/ African ancestry (Negroid DNA) but are classified as White or Hispanic in the U.S. This appropriates another Bona Fide superiority fallacy. A large number of Black people in the U.S. are being reclassified as multiracial and placed on a Caucasian Bandwagon. Disappearance of the White recessive gene is a reality unless scientists can scurry to reclassify and catalogue the dominant Black gene pool to expand recessive White Race numbers. Race holds colloquial and traditional descriptions that are commonly used in the West but are not accurately reflected by underlying genetics. DNA Kits, for example, reinforce concepts of race as discrete genetic categories. Genetic ancestry tests can identify clusters of individuals based on patterns of genetic similarity and difference, but the particular clusters infrared depend on the individuals included in the analysis. Genetic ancestry tests also tend to equate present-day people and contemporary patterns of genetic variation with those who existed in the past. In this regard, ancestry tests often oversimplify and misrepresent the history and pattern of human genetic variation and do so in ways that suggest more congruence between genetic patterns and culturally defined categories than really exist. 5 The number of Germans has declined by 3.2 million; the population of Berlin over the last 30 years, but demographers’ concerns has mostly been ignored until recently. German leaders have lifted the birth rate to the top of the political agenda for the first time since the Nazi Era, and the two ruling parties are trying to outdo each other with pro-family measures. Germans are at risk of dying out if the trend continues. The German population will shrink from 75 to 50 million by 2050 and further after that (Kirschbaum, 2006). People in Italy, Poland and Russia are concerned about population collapse. The population has started to decline in many countries. If you extrapolate this into the distant future, you can imagine the situation with a much smaller population. Germany, which has a reputation as the economic engine of Europe, is in a troubling demographic predicament. With one of the oldest populations in Europe, and a low fertility rate of 1.5 births per woman, it is a matter of time before the rubber hits the road to affect population growth in the country. Based on United Nations projections, the German population is likely to decline by over 10 million people in the next few years (2020, Visual Capitalist). Russia's Population Set to Decline From 143 Million to 111 Million in 2050 and is currently in a demographic crisis. Russia loses 950,000 people a year. If population trends continue, Russia will exist as massive Tundra minus the human population in less than 100 years. Birth rates have been below replacement rates for 35 years—what a lethal development! Germans have long had one of the lowest birth rates in the European Union at 1.3 children per woman—far below the “replacement rate” of 2.1 needed to keep the population stable. The rate is about half of what it was 40 years ago. More than 30 percent of East and West Germans born from 1960 to 1967 are 6 childless. Among Germans with higher education, the childless rate is even higher at 38 percent. Each generation is being reduced by a third. The blending of dominant and recessive genes has caused the subsequent camouflages. If a person is Brown or Black in color but has straight “European” looking hair, he/she has been classified as Caucasian in Europe. If a person has light skin and wavy or tightly curled Negroid hair, he/she is Caucasian. The Europeans follow a reversed “One-drop Rule.” One-drop of Caucasian blood makes a person Caucasian. Anthropologists have wholeheartedly grasped the model to classify Black/Brown groups within the White cluster. Here are some of the obscure concepts physical anthropologists have presented. People who have parents from two different races cannot be fairly classified in only one race. People in the United States who are African American are placed in a subordinated hypothetical race. A person might display features that point to African Ancestry, thus labeling the person Black regardless of whether or not such a race exists in nature. Ethnic identities are folk taxonomies—whether race or religion; they are not scientific; they are cultural classifications that arise from experience of people in groups. Observable physical features—skin color, nasal width, and hair texture are irrelevant in determining race. Different physical characteristics in humans correspond to where their ancestors come from but does not define race. Many European populations are experiencing more deaths than births annually, a phenomenon that is not occurring in any other global regions. Ukraine and Russia have the largest gaps between birth rates and death rates. The 7 population of Ukraine is losing 340,000 people each year which is more deaths than births. In the absence of offsetting international migration, the population of these countries will decline in size. In addition to exceptionally low birth rates, a chief cause for surplus European deaths is the relatively high proportion of the region’s older age population where death rates are higher. Fifteen percent (15%) of Europe’s population is age 65 or older, compared with seven (7%) percent for the global world.

  • Graduate History Seminar
    March 2008 Newsletter “Scattered Africa” in Asia: Evolution in Research B y Maryam Sharron Muhammad* Thereupon a young maiden arose from the center of the altar, the well-favored and beautiful Daughter of the Pancalas, heart- fetching, with a waist shaped like an altar. She was dark, with eyes like lotus petals, her hair glossy black and curling -- a lovely Goddess who had chosen a human form. And over the full- hipped maiden as soon as she was born the disembodied voice spoke: “Superb among women, the Dark Woman shall lead the baronage to its doom. The fair-waisted maiden shall in time accomplish the purpose of the Gods . .” Hearing this, all the Pancalas roared like a pride of lions, and the earth was unable to hold them so full of joy (Mahabharata 1(11)155: 42-47). This paper will look at issues fundamental to research on the African Diaspora in Asia. African-American scholars have been interested in the presence of Africans in Asia since the eighteenth century, primarily in defense of the Black psyche in the face of the Hamitic myth and Darwinist justification of a white supremacist racial hierarchy. Research in the early twentieth century began with informal reports from soldiers who had fought in the Philippines, and essays by journalists such as the globetrotting J. A. Rogers and race-proud educators such as Drusilla Dunjee Houston. It was not until 1971 that a formal study appeared in the form of Joseph E. Harris’ The African Presence in Asia. A decade later, William Leo Hansberry produced a study of Ethiopian societies.

  • An Action Research Project Analyzing Self-Efficacy Competence of African American Native English Speakers (Ness) Teaching in a Foreign Placement
    COMMUNICATE GLOBALLY, TEACH LOCALLY: AN ACTION RESEARCH PROJECT ANALYZING SELF-EFFICACY COMPETENCE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS (NESS) TEACHING IN A FOREIGN PLACEMENT A Doctoral Dissertation Presented by Wayne Erwin Brown to The Graduate School of Education In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education in the field of Education College of Professional Studies Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts (March 2018) 1 ABSTRACT Communicate Globally, Teach Locally observers that the English language has evolved to be the predominant language of business and for communication globally, which allows thousands of NESs to go abroad and work as English teachers in foreign countries. This study assessed how self-efficacy competence of the African American NESs teaching in a foreign placement is evaluated through a quantitative action research approach. For African Americans NESs teaching in foreign placements, higher levels of self-efficacy increases their ability to visualize their abroad experience with success and goal achievement. This study used three frameworks: (1) Self-Efficacy Theory, (2) Afrocentricity, and (3) African American Identification. The researcher sought to present an effective self-efficacy competence survey assessment tool, The WEB International “African American English Teacher Self-Efficacy Questionnaire,” intended to help African American NESs teaching in a foreign placement to cope with Black identity issues when interacting with others. Accordingly, this study’s research question is as follows: Does self-efficacy influence African American NESs to teach in a foreign placement? In this context, the research question serves to review the identity of teachers both racially and culturally in relation to their foreign placement.

  • Digital Pan-Africansim for Liberation: an Afrocentric Analysis of Contemporary Travel Discourses by African Americans Visiting Modern Egypt
    DIGITAL PAN-AFRICANSIM FOR LIBERATION: AN AFROCENTRIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY TRAVEL DISCOURSES BY AFRICAN AMERICANS VISITING MODERN EGYPT A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Christina Harris December 2019 Examining Committee Members: Molefi Kete Asante, Dissertation Advisor, Africology & African American Studies Ama Mazama, Africology & African American Studies C. Amari Johnson, Africology & African American Studies Aaron Smith, Africology & African American Studies Christel Temple, External Member, University of Pittsburgh ABSTRACT Utilizing Afrocentric thought, this dissertation examines digital Pan-Africanism as a new theory that demonstrates the liberatory potential of digital technology including internet- based writing and businesses. Focusing on the burgeoning Black travel industry, it specifically considers contemporary travel narratives written by African Americans visiting Egypt and includes a thematic analysis of travel blog posts. It highlights the role technology plays in making international travel more accessible to African Americans and the potential that diasporic travel has in creating and strengthening inter-cultural bonds between African people throughout the diaspora. To this end, this dissertation advocates utilizing digital platforms as a tool for increased diasporic travel and Pan- African activism. It conceptualizes this new theory, discusses its implications within and outside of the travel industry, and offers a model to demonstrate its effectiveness and applicability. ii DEDICATION To my Grandmother, Mary Will Burnett, My first student and one of my many teachers 1938-2019 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank the Creator, my ancestors and my parents, Kim Burnett who was entirely responsible for my formative education, and Dr.

    Yosef Ben-Jochannan: A Note and Photo Essay about His Life, Work and Influence by Runoko Rashidi, D.D. [email protected] Independent Scholar, Global African Presence Los Angeles, California; Paris, France I met Yosef ben-Jochannan for the first time in the 1980s. Today, as I pen these words, it is his birthday and I thought that this essay would make a nice present for him. His full name is Yosef Alfredo Antonio ben-Jochannan. A lot of us called him Dr. Ben. I was very fortunate to know him over an extended period of time, more than thirty years in fact. He was born this day 31 December in 1918. I traveled with him on my first trip to Africa, specifically Egypt, in 1991. On that trip he let me do my first lecture in Africa. I went with him to Egypt three other times as his personal assistant. I have many memories of him, both the man and his work. Today I will spend much of the day writing a long photo essay about him, his work and his impact on my work. I could say that in March of this year when he transitioned that we lost an immortal. But that hardly does him justice. Dr. Ben has brought African history to life for the masses of African people. This is perhaps his greatest legacy and gift. Dr. Ben, we salute you. And we say that you are not dead. You live in us. You were and are one of the greats! 82 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.8, no.10, February 2016 In Egypt With Yosef A.A.

  • The Rhetoric of Revolution: the Black Consciousness Movement and the Dalit Panther Movement
    The Rhetoric of Revolution: The Black Consciousness Movement and the Dalit Panther Movement by Antonette Jefferson, M.A. Ph.D. Student, Howard University Washington, D.C. Abstract The liberation of oppressed people is a global struggle as liberation movements echo one another in proclaiming rights of equality, freedom and liberty inherent to all human beings. The marginalized constituents respond to oppression by donning the armor of struggle to wrest free from the chains of oppression and racism and/or white supremacy. The Black Consciousness Movement headed by Steve Biko, and the Dalit Panther Movement modeled after the Black Panther Party and influenced by the philosophies of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar create a need for pause as the worldwide implications and potentials of collective liberation are analyzed and realized for the empowerment of people of African descent across the globe. By using generic rhetorical criticism where the text is revolution, the author captures the response of these oppressed groups to the oppressor. Thus, the rhetoric of revolution spans critiques of religion, to identification of “friend-enemies,” to acknowledging the collective struggle of people of African descent. This research contributes to the literature on revolution and African world uplift by analyzing factors associated with impacting change in the Diaspora. Introduction The liberation of oppressed people is a global struggle as liberation movements echo one another in proclaiming rights of equality, freedom and liberty inherent to all human beings which is indeed deserved, but not always realized by the marginalized. And thus, such marginalization in this construct leads constituents to response to oppression by donning the armor of struggle to wrest free from the chains of oppression and racism and/or white supremacy.
