ARTIST'S DESCRIPTION
This #MRasheedCartoons image was inspired by more middling white racist responses to my work that are worthless in that they only repeat ad nauseum the ridiculous "divine-evolved white people pagan religion" that the white racist aristocracy keeps trying to shove down everyone's throats like it's magically real. I've posted the quotes below from less deceitful, more forthright and truthful European scholars of the previous centuries, whose works were (more or less) free of the later taint of the whitewashing of history recon that characterizes the modern version of "scholarship," such as it is.
For my purposes, the transitional period between the fall of the previous civilization and the rise of the current one was marked by a lot more humbled truth expressions in the records, truths that the white supremacist figure is more than happy to pretend doesn't exist for obvious reasons.
Please note that, despite my usage of my version of the figure, I am not, nor have I ever been, a member of the NOI (I'm an orthodox Muslim). I'm merely conveniently using the Yakub character as a shorthand glyph to represent a very specific time period that the middling white racist likes to pretend never happened.

"The fame of the ancient Ethiopians (ancient Kushites) was widespread in ancient history. Herodotus described them as the most beautiful and long-lived of the human races, and before Herodotus, Homer, in even more flattering language, described them as the most just of men, the favourites of the gods. The annals of all the great early nations of Asia Minor are full of them. The Mosaic records allude to them frequently; but while they are described as the most powerful, the most just, and the most beautiful of the human race, they are constantly spoken of as Black, and there seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn than at that remote period of history, the leading race of the Western World was a Black race." ~Dame Flora Louise Shaw, Lady Lugard (19 Dec 1852 – 25 Jan 1929)
"The accident of white predominance should not give us supercilious ideas about color or persuade us to listen to superficial theories about the innate superiority of the white skinned man. 4 thousand years ago when civilization was already 3 thousand years old, white men were a bunch of semi- savages on the outskirts of the civilized world." ~Joseph Martin McCabe (12 Nov 1867 – 10 Jan 1955)
"For the first two or three thousand years of civilization, there was not a civilized white man on the earth. Civilization was founded and developed by the "swarthy" races of Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt, and the white race remained so barbaric that in those days an Egyptian or a Babylonian priest would have said that the riffraff of white tribes a few hundred miles to the north of their civilization were hopelessly incapable of acquiring the knowledge requisite to progress. It was southern colored peoples everywhere, in China, in Central America, in India, Mesopotamia, Syria, Egypt and Crete who gave the northern white peoples civilization." ~William Montgomery Brown (04 Sep 1855 – 31 Oct 1937)
"Europeans were by no means the pioneers of human civilization. Half of man's recorded history had passed before anyone in Europe could read or write. The priests of Egypt began to keep written records between 4000 and 3000 B.C., but more than two thousand years later the poems of Homer were still being circulated in the Greek city-states by word of mouth. Shortly after 3000 B.C., while the Pharoahs were building the first pyramids, Europeans were creating nothing more distinguished than huge garbage heaps." ~Robert Roswell Palmer (11 Jan 1909 – 11 Jun 2002) & Joel G. Colton (23 Aug 1918 – 17 Apr 2011)
“They [the white European] are nearer to animals than men […] They are by nature unthinking and their manners crude. Their bellies protrude; their color is White and their hair is long. In sharpness and delicacy of spirit and intellectual perspicacity they are nil. Ignorance, lack of reasoning power and boorishness are common among them.” ~Basil Risbridger Davidson (9 Nov 1914 – 9 Jul 2010)
