The irony of this is rather undeniable.. A reasoning on the relevance of knowing scripture, and a conversation of a one human family with no colour or separation.. When this topic is thoroughly covered within scripture.. And a one in GARVEYS AFRICA, who puts little to no stock in said scripture, knowing this scripture better than tho one who bring forth the reasoning.. Hmmm
Nesta1, while it is true that the Bible makes mention of a 1 human family, and Haile Selassie testifies to this fact, the Bible also describes lineage and identity.
Galatians 3: 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
1 Samuel 16: 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
Haile Selassie : "I must say that Black and White,as forms of speech, and as a means of judging mankind, should be eliminated from human society. Human beings are precisely the same whatever colour, race, creed or national origin they may be."
"We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community."
And then the other side...
Amos 9: 7 "Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel?"
Ezekiel 36: 24 "For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land."
Haile Selassie: "The Ethiopian people, who have struggled and made untold sacrifices for their independence and freedom for thousands of years an independence that has been a beacon for all of Africa today celebrate this day together with all Africans by consolidating their freedom and independence with the freedom and independence of their African brothers in the spirit of Modern Ethiopianism."
"We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil."
