The MESSAGE Not The Messenger
One thing I've noticed about our people is that we have a hard time receiving the message. The messenger can't be to ugly or to short, to light skin or to dark skin, Christian like Marcus Garvey, or Muslim like Malcolm X.

Historical African kingdoms that we deemed to be of the "wrong faith" are dismissed. Despite lessons to be learned from them. African history is not perfect or flawless but we have to be open to a non biased reflection of it.
The 17th century Kongo queen Dona Beatriz was Christian, but she practiced a Black Nationalist form of Pan African Christianity to expel the Europeans and end the slave trade.
Many of our ancestors were only working with the best tools that they had available in their time period. Some were powerful and some were foolish, but ALL can be learned from.
They all have lessons in their stories that are applicable to us today. Don't get caught up in the appearance of the messenger, grab a whole to the message.
