Pardon me, Brother. But, I think you are sincerely and genuinely perplexed and confused about what I have been trying to say all along.
Here is a direct excerpt from his biography:
In 1935 Dr. Williams took the post of Administrative Principal for the Cheltenham School for Boys in Maryland. Four years later he became a teacher in the Washington, DC public schools. He entered the employment of the U.S. Federal Government in 1941, filling a variety of positions such as section chief of Census Bureau, statistician for War Relocation Board, and economist in Office of Price Administration. In 1946 he returned to his alma mater as social science instructor from 1952. It was then that he transferred to the history department where he remained until he retired in 1966. (
Chancellor Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Below is a direct repetition of one key sentence in that biography. It appears in most of the sources that I have viewd:
He entered the employment of the U.S. Federal Government in 1941, filling a variety of positions such as section chief of Census Bureau, statistician for War Relocation Board, and economist in Office of Price Administration.
Pay close attention to this statemnt: He entered the employment of the U.S. Federal Government in 1941, filling a variety of positions such as.... This his public record. Give him the benefit of the doubt if oyu wish. I do not give him the benefit of the doubt for these reasons:
1. I read
Drstruction of Blcak Civilization a number of times startring in 1976.
His biography states: The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race Between 4500 B.C. and 2000 A.D. (1971) ISBN 0-88378-030-5. Thus, 1976 came later in time than 1971 when the book was published. Without re-reading another good tale, but lousy history, suffice it to say that in the 1976 edition that I have read, Williams claimed that he was blind or going blind os something like that. He used that as an excuse to notdocument his sources. Blind! Blind? Or, lazy? And, dishonest?
Well, his biography also shows that he published this: The Second Agreement with Hell, Carlton Press, (1979). Notice the publication date: 1979. Something is not adding up. Specifically, he wrote another ENTIRE BOOK AFETER he went B-L-I-N-D. Blind! Get it?
2. Notice his publisher, the publisher of
Destruction...:
In 1971, Williams sent his magnum opus, The Destruction of Black Civilization, to Kendall Hunt, a white-owned publishing company..." Did I get that right? A white publisher? Could your hero not find an African publisher for his signature cult master-piece? What about Al-Ahram Foundation? Al-Ahram has been around as an African publisher since 1875:
Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875. Cairo is in Africa. It would seem logically for a legitmate history of Africa.
[u]What about Johnson Publications, America's most promient and credible African publisher, located in Chicago, Illinois? Johnson has published such outstanding African histories as
Before the Mayflower (
Before the Mayflower - A History of Black America - New 2007 edition) which adds considerable weight to such great works as Van Sertima's
They Came Before Columbus (
They Came Before Columbus).
What about
Panaf Books in the UK? They have published several of Nkrumah's greatest works.
The bottomline is, he had no credible reasons to seek out a "white-owned publishing company" for an African history. Ceratinly, they could not have reached a larger African distirbution network than any of the above mentiopned publishers. This is what makes me think that Williams had a hidden agenda, namely he was out to serve his white masters while creating all kinds of problems among Africans, between African Muslims and African Christians and other believers. Clearly he has proved that he is hostile not just to Arabs or Muslims, but to African interests in general.
This is what happens when we use the brain that GOD gave us and not just follow any old fool who happens to come along.
3. This is my main problem with Williams: the book is simply not history. This is a direct quote from an African source: The average reader of this book always misconstrues it's purpose. The purpose of this book is not to be descriptive, but prescriptive. In other words, The Destruction is not meant to serve solely as a history book. (
Books by Dr. Williams) You can call it whatever you wish. I am having a hard time finding a precise description of the book that you are likely to understand. But, it is not history. It was never meant to be a history. The same African source I just quoted goes on to say this: The book's purpose is to provide Afrikan people with an historical background into Afrikan-specific problems of the past, while at the same time, giving viable solutions to what Afrikan people should do to solve the same, lingering problems that slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism are very definitely at the root of.
4. The final issue is, Williams does not appear to be interested in African Unity as far as I can see. This is waht the African source quoted above says: He cogently and correctly exposes how Afrika and her people have been historically duped and demeaned, not only by Europeans [Christians] and Asians, but by Arabs also. When did Asians colonize Africa? When did they enslave us? What about the Arabs?
I do not pretend to know what kind of insanity Dr Williams was suffering from. But, something is clearly wrong. He is prescribing a solution for us that is not based in history and everybody, every intelligent person, knows it is not history. We also know that it is not scientfic in any significant way. It is some 3-400 pages of delusion. I was being kind to the old dude when I called his work propaganda. It is closer to fiction, really.
You may have tinme to waste on this non-sense. But sorry, I do not.
Unfortunately, he did not use fisction writing license to eduacte us. Instead, he used it to confuse us.
