Actually, Akebulan was the very definition of a superpower:
"A superpower is a state with the first rank in the international system and the ability to influence events and project power on a worldwide scale; it is considered a higher level of power than a Great power."
Furthermore:
[The criteria of a superpower are not clearly defined, and as a consequence they may differ between sources, but the following elements are generally held to be significant.
Military
Ability to project power around the world. In the modern world, this requires not only a strong land army (which many nations have), but also the air- and sea-lift capabilities to deploy and supply that military in furtherance of national interests, as well as public support for doing so.
Cultural
Strong cultural influence, soft power. Cultural influence implies a developed philosophy and ideology.
Geographical
Wide land or sea area under its control. Territory allows a country to mine minerals and grow food, increasing its self-sufficiency. It is an important factor in warfare, as it allows possibilities such as retreat, regrouping and reorganization, as well as placing distant radars and missile silos - even a richer country with smaller territory is more vulnerable in a military sense.]
It is not productive to go further back in history than what applies to the subject being discussed. Sure you could speak on the beggining of "time" but that is irrelevent to the point, which is that very few human beings have only one bloodline. More importantly if you do only have one bloodline, at this point in history, you are probably imbred. It is almost exactly the concept applied to domestic animals (pets).
" Alkebulan was never a “super power” at no time. This term usage suggests hegemonic behavior. Simply, we just reigned supreme in Black Supremacy in Righteousness of Salvation, aiding the ignoble generations with principles and high civilization. "
[Hegemony (pronounced he'jem.?.ni or h?'d??.m?.ni) (Greek: ???????? h?gemonía) is the dominance of one group over other groups, with or without the threat of force, to the extent that, for instance, the dominant party can dictate the terms of trade to its advantage; more broadly, cultural perspectives become skewed to favor the dominant group. The cultural control that hegemony asserts affects commonplace patterns of thought: hegemony controls the way new ideas are rejected or become naturalized in a process that subtly alters notions of common sense in a given society.
Hegemony results in the empowerment of certain cultural beliefs, values, and practices to the submersion and partial exclusion of others. Hegemony influences the perspective of mainstream history, as history is written by the victors for a congruent readership.]
What, exactly, is the difference?
It is unproductive to evolution to decide that because one culture is slightly less overbearing and somewhat less cruel than another that it is perfect. If it were in fact perfect then evolution would be not only uneccessary but unthinkable. It is the continued reluctance to admit wrong doing that makes peace an unatainable goal.
There is, and never was, no way that unity can succeed if some beings are simply not accepted by the ruling class. Regaurdless of what actions they may take or ideals they may subscribe to. If one person, plant or animal finds itself marginalized it will eventually rise up and revolt. You cannot rise above by down pressing, it is the EXACT reason why Caucasoids were able to dehumanize Negroids and Mongiloids in the first place, WE DID IT FIRST. Read your history, From the Persians to the Hyksos, the Gypsys to the Mongolians, prosecution proceedes bloody revolution every single time. At some point the ruling class must be made up of beings who understand than one belief does not superceed another. A law is a rule that cannot be broken, ie: Universal Law, Mathmatical Laws, etc. a law of humanity (thou shalt not kill, etc.) is simply a rule or guideline. Anytime one human being decides to punish another human being Universal Law is interrupted. It is a blatant admission of disbelief in God, it is an admission of dominance over God's creation, it says I am better than you. It says to the collective conscious that you believe you are more favored by the Great Architect and have been given the power to judge one of God's creations based on an ideology of your own creation. And furthermore it transfers that beings Karma onto you, negating whatever energy would normally balance the Universe in perfect harmony and fairness.
How can you say that Jah, God, the Creator (etc.) will judge anybody if you have already judged them? If you believe that God will handle it then you have absolutly no need to practice anything but unconditional universal love and acceptance, regaurdless of circumstance or eventuality. You cannot change the Universe by enforcing your ideas on others, you can only change yourself by living the life you choose to live and walking the path toward rightiousness. And every single being who trods in peace radiates love and harmony, which in turn creates a ripple effect. How can you change the world if you can't even live the life you claim is best?
Honesty starts with ones self and finishes with ones self. Eventually it occurs to you that we are all one thing because there is only one thing. There is no light without dark and without light there is nothing.
