I once heard a sticky quote from Dr. Christian Lentz while listening to him lecture: "maps lie." The double entendre there instantly seared its way into my brain.
All too TRUE. But if you want to know WHY remember that every evil deed that The U.S.A. The Europeans and Great Britain did to and in Africa they did to each other for thousands of years going back to the The Loss of Paradise by Adam and Eve who were the Original Ancestors of the people on Earth who are called - and who call themselves - "White". When Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise they were told by The Lord God: "Leave Paradise as enemies to each other. You will have a home and sustenance in The Earth until An Appointed Day." (Quran 7:24) In this Modern Age Winston Chutchill put it succinctly: "European History was written in blood." So since "White" people generally treat each other badly as their History shows then it just makes sense that they did do and will continue to treat people who don't look like them badly. Amen?
Mr Fowler, you write so powerfully. This piece made me tremble with anger and disgust. Thank you for your insight.
