Chinese Scientist Proves The First Inhabitants Of China Were Black!

Now this is a conversation worth having with our Asian Sisters and Brothers!
Is this doesn't spark a conversation, I don't know what will.
Notice any similarities in facial features?

 

Chinese Scientist Proves The First Inhabitants Of China Were Black 

Source: Neo-griot

  

For many years Black historians and Afrocentrists have said that the first inhabitants of China were black Africans.

The Negroid races peopled at some time all the South of India, Indo-China and China. The South of Indo-China actually has now pure Negritos as the Semangs and mixed as the Malays and the Sakais."

( H. Imbert, "Les Negritos de la Chine").

"Even the sacred Manchu dynasty shows this Negro strain. The lower part of the face of the Emperor Pu-yi of Manchukuo, direct descendant of the Manchu rulers of China, is most distinctly Negroid. Chinese chroniclers report that a Negro Empire existed in the South of China at the dawn of that country's history.

( Professor Chang Hsing-Lang , "The importation of Negro Slaves to China under the Tang Dynasty A.D. 618-907)

"There is evidence of substantial populations of Blacks in early China. Archaeological studies have located a black substratum in the earliest periods of Chinese history, and reports of major kingdom ruled by Blacks are frequently in Chinese documents."

(Kwang-Chih Chang, The Archaeology of Ancient China, (Yale University Press) and Irwin Graham, Africans Abroad (Columbia University Press).

But after hundreds of years of the worldwide spread of the doctrine of white superiority and the inferiority of black Africans and their descendants. This notion was poo, pooed by white scientists and others and even by some blacks.

But in 2005, a Chinese DNA specialist, Jin Li, leading a team of Chinese and other scientists, proved through DNA tests that indeed the first inhabitants of China were black Africans.

POWER OF MENTORING

POWER OF MENTORING A Tale of Two Girls Special Correspondent: KellyFairTheMentor Can we allow reality TV stars be the example of how women seem to NEVER get along? Do we as women in the community take the responsibility of doing the work to demonstrate for girls what REAL women working together looks like? I’d like to share the story of two girls who both participated in Second Saturday’s Program of Polished Pebbles, the mentoring program I founded in Chicago. The Second Saturday’s program is monthly workshop that is free and open to girls throughout Chicagoland, but it also includes a network of girls who participate in Polished Pebbles’ after school programs at different partnering schools and communities. Two girls from two different communities in Chicago; Altgeld Gardens and Dearborn Homes, met each other for the first time at the Second Saturdays Program. Let’s say their names are “Tenisha” & "Mariah.” Their friendship started at monthly Polished Pebbles meetings, which turned into calling each other, sending text messages, and even working together at the same summer job. As funding for education and youth initiatives seems to be frequently under fire, at the beginning of this school year, it looked as though our service to three of the communities of girls would be cut. This meant that we would no longer be able to support the girls in the two communities that both “Tenisha” and “Mariah” resided in. Potentially losing the opportunity to work with these girls was devastating, because we didn’t want to jeopardize the relationship we had built with the girls.

Kelly Fair (2nd from right) with her positive mentor volunteers Additionally, many of our girls are facing so many challenges in their daily lives, including maintaining trust with people because they’ve been let down so often. We didn’t want Polished Pebbles to be yet another group of adults who let them down and broke their trust. When the word got out to the women who volunteer and mentor with Polished Pebbles they put their heads and resources together. The were firm in ensuring we would be able to continue to work with these girls no matter the obstacles. Now, you must know this is a large and very eclectic group of women from different professions, backgrounds, neighborhoods, walks of life, veteran mentors, and women volunteering for the very first time. But, all differences were put aside when the best interest of our girls were involved. They raised the money to cover the costs for the girls to participate in the upcoming bowling trip, and the funds to bus them to our Second Saturday program throughout the school year. Because of the support of these women working together, we are able to maintain our relationships with the three communities of girls. Because of these women working together, the girls didn’t have to again experience abandonment and a lack of love. And, because of these powerful women working together, the friendship between our two girls from two different communities, “Tenisha” & “Mariah”, is solidified even further. As the role models and mentors in this group mentoring initiative, Polished Pebbles, or any mentoring program in any city for that matter, it is our duty to foster a culture of seamless relationships of WOMEN and GIRLS Working Together in unison and purpose. From this story you can tell we’re doing just that. But, the work isn’t done. We have to constantly work to make sure that we are modeling what strong working relationships, friendships, and networks of women should look like, and that starts with how we plan and prepare for the work we do with our girls! Demonstrating positive examples of teamwork is definitely a “Cornerstone of Effective Mentoring.” We can’t let the poor and misleading examples depicted in reality TV series be the only examples of how our girls see women, and women of color, interact. It’s a lot of work, but I’m encouraged. What a wonderful journey we’re embarking upon. I couldn’t be more excited to journey with a greater group of women! Got my bags packed!

Sista Afrika Porter TBTNEWS COMMENTARY Black Girl Rocking Guest Correspondent: Sista Afrika Porter Someone you should know, someone we should love. A native of Chicago, Erika Bracey is more than an entrepreneur, she is a business woman, the proprietor of Tailored Beginnings One and Two Daycare Centers. She's the Owner of Butter Kup, a creation of hand whipped spa products used by celebrities all around the world. Erika is also a model, having graced the cover of USTYLEUmagazine recently, as a Breast Cancer Survivor in The Brave Chick Unleashed; a bold attempt at bringing Breast Cancer awareness to New York City’s Time Square. While researching, Erika learned of the horrible and yet shocking disparities in the mortality rate of women of color and so many others with little or no financial resources, which motivated her to start yet another organization---a philanthropic arm for patients and families affected by Breast Cancer—_Different Shades of Pink_. Erika has been very busy lately, with her latest endeavor, Blest Bracelets - beautiful bracelets in gorgeous colors, using the earths most precious stones made for men and women.

The talented, courageous, gorgeous & smart Erika Bracey In 2010, Erika was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. From diagnosis to treatment, mental and economic hurdles, “E” as she is often called, is determined to fight for others that suffer from the debilitating effects of breast cancer. Now, a very positive spokesperson and survivor, Erika created Blest Bracelets because she felt compelled to create a living, and wearable example of the obstacles that cancer patients endure. Erika believes that her primary challenges are yet behind her, and these beautiful bracelets are seen on so many men and women’s wrist nationwide, representing symbols of HOPE, LOVE, COURAGE, HUMILITY, STRENGTH, FEAR, SACRIFICE, EMPATHY, FAITH, and PERSERVERANCE. Blest has assisted women with co-payments, mammograms, medical treatments, making healthy food choices, patient navigation and so much more. A portion of the proceeds from each bracelet sold is donated to Different Shades of Pink charity. For more information on Blest Bracelets or to make purchases for such an important cause, please visit www.blestbracelets.com.
