Pre-colonial his story of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

From Wikipedia [edited TMB]

The pre-colonial history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo encompasses the Congo Basin region up to the establishment of European colonial rule and particularly the creation of the Congo Free State. The modern territorial boundaries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo did not exist in this period.

Congo was inseparable from Central Africa, the Great Lakes and Rift Valley as well as the Atlantic World and Swahili coast. The territory was occupied by humans at least 80,000 years ago. Waves of Bantu migrations into the current era (CE) were most notable. Different groups moved through or settled into the basin and covered the precolonial states absorbed or overthrown by the later colonial powers. Continue reading →

His story of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

History of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

From Wikipedia [edited TMB]

The earliest known settlements in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been dated back to approximately 90,000 years ago. The first real states, such as the Kongo, the Lunda, the Luba and Kuba, appeared south of the equatorial forest on the savannah from the 1400s onwards.

The Kingdom of Kongo controlled much of western and central Africa including what is now the western portion of the DR Congo from the 1400s. At its peak it had about 500,000 people, and its capital was known as Mbanza-Kongo (south of Matadi, now Angola). In the  1700s, so-called Portuguese sailors arrived in the Kingdom of Kongo, and this led to consolidation, with the king’s power being fostered on Portuguese trade. Afonso I ordered raids on neighboring districts in response to Portuguese slavery demands. Continue reading →

An Overview of the First 150 Lifetime Judges Confirmed During the Biden ...

Dear TMB readers,

This is not the image received, it is just the pre-post to the reaction to the 4 judges article. The post of the appointed Black judges is coming up. Dealing with scrambled contents makes for excess overtime to get things back in order. If not for others digging in, there would be no new posts.

We are not looking at “minority” picks, but Black women and men to represent our community and show vigilance in ‘discrepancies’ in upholding the law when it comes to the targeting of our community. Continue reading →

Too Much Black Is Suspect – Racial Profiling

Driving While BlackFBI “Mapping”: Racial Profiling on a People-Wide Scale
by Glen Ford (2011)

Although it remained against the rules for FBI agents to launch investigations based solely on race, religion of ethnicity, those factors could be taken into account. It was a loophole big enough to drive a busload of Knights of the Ku Klux Klan through. By asserting that certain racial, religious and ethnic groups – Blacks, Muslims (especially Black Muslims) and Latinos – were more prone to crime and acts of terror, the FBI cold justify all manner of methods to massively penetrate these groups in the interest of national security.

There are differences in body physiology between the races of Mankind. Every human has a specific biochemical makeup and therefore requires a unique biochemical diet in order to stay healthy and free from disease.

Nature has programmed every human body-type with certain food parameters which helps to prevent damage to the biochemical nutritional homeostasis (balance). Ancient African health practitioners taught that the human body has a vital force (aura, electromagnetic field) that allows one type of vitamin to change into another type of vitamin/or energy.

While You Are At Work, They Take Care of Your Children

Where Are the Parents - JonikNo Child Left Unmedicated
By Phyllis Schlafly (2004)

A plan to subject all children to mental health screening is underway, and the pharmaceutical firms are gearing up for bigger sales of psychotropic drugs. Like most liberal, big-spending ideas, this one was slipped into the law under cover of soft semantics.

Its genesis was the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (NFCMH), created by President George W. Bush in 2002. The [Commission] recommends “routine and comprehensive” testing and mental health screening for every child in America, including preschoolers. The [Commission] proposes utilizing electronic medical records for mental health interrogation of both children and adults, to search for mental illnesses in school and during routine physical exams.
