Let Nas tell you a little bit about this great scholar that we have lost.
"Niggas never really seen paper in this world American blacks the teenager of this world Give us twenty more years to grow up Already geniuses; what I mean is this I used to worship a certain Queens police murderer 'Til I read the words of Ivan van Sertima He inserted something in me That made me feel worthier Now I spit revolution I'm his hood interpreter" - Nas, "We are not alone"
I can see you guys now googling the name of Dr. Van Sertima, well here is a hint, one of his most renown books is "They Came Before Columbus". Pick it up and read, I was going to give a biography summary on this scholar. But why should I do all the work, if you are truly interested in learning about this great scholar then pick up his book. For some of my lazy friends out there I have attached a couple videos of Dr. Van Sertima explaining his work on "They Came Before Columbus". Someone get me something to drink as I hand feed knowledge to these lost souls.
Through out my talks with individuals, I always hear the phase,"If you come to my neck of the woods I will buy you a drink." Well I am calling you out. In Chicago the drinks range from $5 to $13. Click the Donate button to buy me a drink.
