Return To The African Mother Principle of Male and Female Equality_Dr. Oba T’shaka | “A Very Rich RBG Lesson”

August 25, 2023August 30, 2023RBG Street Scholar 2 Comments

This work by Dr. Oba T’Shaka is an inquiry into some long neglected dimensions of African culture, history and cosmology. The dilemma of African people in the world is that they are lost from their traditional and historical moorings. There is now a need for them to make a serious study of themselves in order for them to understand the world that they live in and the kind of world they must shape for their children.

“White Americans have a criminal history. The nation is built on criminality, murder, and exploitation. It is a part of their collective psyche. The U.S. is a mafia government. No one has done more damage, degradation, murder, rape, and robbery than Europeans. Yes! Therefore, to escape confrontation with their true criminal nature, they must accuse others of being criminals. What we call projection!” Dr. Amos Wilson
