Comments like the one from insecure whites like Ventura is the main reason Black people must divorce themselves from white philosophy. These things will rain down on you daily in various forms in an attempt to brainwash you into believing their silly ideas. If you hear something enough times without counter balancing it with facts then you risk accepting it as the truth. This is why whites so desperately want you to believe their non stop lies. Black people hear and see negative stuff about themselves all day everyday from insecure whites. This is why its important to be able to counter it with the truth. When I say counter I dont mean prove it to whites. I mean know it internally like you would know the love you have for your child. White people dont want you to be aware of the truth which is why you must find it. Search it out. Understand the context whites are coming from. If you knew the only reason you could read and write is because the very people you want believe to be inferior gave you the skill how insecure would you feel? Like I said in the OP some whites will tell the truth and they will sum it up in a way that will tell you whites instinctively are intimidated by wisdom they cant totally understand but know is the basis for their best civilizations.
"Just think," de Volney declared incredulously, "that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech! Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of people who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery, and questioned whether Black men have the same kind of intelligence as whites!
