Indigenous people shed tears of joy and celebrated after Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled against an effort to restrict native peoples' rights to protected reservations on their ancestral lands – a win for Indigenous and climate activists.

The BAJA PEOPLE OF THE NILE

According to Strabo(63BC-23AD), the Baja were a Black-skinned people who were used to raiding and pillaging on the fringes of the desert.... "The Baja, were a people around the Nile in Egypt and the Sudan, fond of daggers, swords, scimitars and camels; their hair was made curly by a hot knife" (instead of weaving the hair, like the male Luwata and Gatuleg).They 'were as black as tar' and weren't "good to have as a friend or foe".

These were among some of the ancient tribes that made up what was most of north Africa before the coming of the Persians, the Assyrians (during the reign of Ashur banipal), the Greeks, the Romans, the Hyksos and the coming of the Caucasoid groups known today as the Arabs in the 3rd century CE, a situation that intensified in the 7th and 8th century CE with the spread of Islam and Arab slave trade as well as the trans-saharan trade.

The effects of concubinage, Barbary slavery, migration and earlier encroachments of Europeans into Africa, especially, contributed greatly in altering the population of the northern parts of Africa. For example, Mulai Ismael of Merknes, brought into north Africa 25,000 European slaves who participated in the building of his colossal stables.

These groups later became the dominant groups in north Africa after the fall of the African Maghrebs in Iberia and Africans lost control of trade routes in the Mediterranean in 1492 CE, as well as the resultant effects of the Turks takeover of Constantinople and later the whole of Byzantium. During the peak era of the Arab slave trade, the Muslims often received European women as homage from traders and caliphs in Granada, Cordova etc, which were brought into north Africa and the Arabian peninsula.

The African male of the Soudan who fall under the burden of the slave trade were castrated to avoid procreation. These groups were fewer in number than the enslaved Europeans in north Africa before the 15th century CE, but the focus on mostly Black-skinned people began in the later parts of the 15th century CE, as Europe became more organized along national lines and could shift the tides of slavery.

When you understand that we are both the player of the game,

and the player in the game,

the idea of being a victim becomes a very complex and interesting discussion.

Everything was a choice.

Stew on it for a few minutes.

This is how some part of Africa make Iron in ancient Africa. Some recent studies date the inception of iron metallurgy in Africa between 3000 and 2500 BCE. Evidence exists for early iron metallurgy in parts of Nigeria, Cameroon, and Central Africa, possibly from as early as around 2,000 BCE. #Africa

It’s not surprising that so many people feel unworthy, and are driven by a constant need to prove your worth.

Starting at age 5, we go to school where we are evaluated, graded, tested and taught to compete with others.

Later we are told that getting into a good college is a reflection of our worth.

Then getting a good job means you are worthy of receiving money, provided you prove every single day that you contribute enough to earn that money.

Then you have to find someone to marry to yet again prove you are good enough in the eyes of someone else.

Then you have kids and and judged by how good of a parent you are by the success of your children.

Then you have to prove your worth by showing that you made enough money to retire.

Then you die and have to prove your worth by the number of people who come to your funeral.

I have no idea how anyone has time for a fun life considering all these obligations to prove your worth to others. 😂

I am intentionally laughing about this because it’s a pathway to releasing yourself from this made up and self imposed mental prison.

The matrix wants to keep you in a place of always having to justify your right to exist.

You an opt out though.
Up to you.
