NECESSARY CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE USE OF TERMS BASED ON THE PSEUDOSCIENCE OF RACE
Before we jump into this history lesson of Afrikan peoples throughout the Diaspora, I must make a few things clear regarding my position on the ideology and social construct known as race. As someone who firmly believes in moving away from 'race-based" thinking, I find it highly imperative that I acknowledge the fact that "race" itself is a social construct and nothing more. Of course, this doesn't mean the experiences this social construct created for those who are deemed non-white aren't real because they are. However, we must remember that it was the belief that each so-called race had differences in intellect and biology that gave way to the ideology of white supremacy. Of course, this is a lie, and serval biologists and psychologists have debunked the pseudoscience behind race-based thinking. Therefore, if we want to eradicate white supremacy, we must move away from "race- based" thinking. It's because of these facts, I've made the decision to call this Ebook, "Afrikan Heros" instead of Black Heroes.
