astrologists were Africans. For example, the Dogon tribe of Mali had discovered the star Sirius B long before modern European scientists did. Most of us do not know the stories of great African Kings and Queens like Kankan Moussa, Soundjata Keita, or Yenega. We do not know that there were African scholars such as Cheick Anta Diop, who studied the origins of human race and pre-colonial African culture.

Now tell me, are you an intellectual prostitute or not? If you do not fall into any of the categories, congratulations; you are not a prostitute! If you do, congratulations too!

The choice is yours.
