I will tell you this story before we introduce our guest. Many people remember the time in 2004 when i went through no child left behind. It was really a very tough moment in my life. I will tell you the first person that called me, the first person to call me was our guest today, out of the blue. Some people see me on the right and they see him being balanced, but more on the left. It didnt matter about my politics. He called and continued to call until he felt i was okay, and for that i will never forget this mans het he is. It is an honor for me toe univee colleges and universities. You know who else was there kurt scmmoke who was the first mayor of baltimore. Being a road scholar and then going to law koll. He inspired me to study in england at t cambridge where i got my phd, Sheila Jackson lee, congresswoman. And this young geeky premed dude. I didnt know him well. What is his name . Oh on, carson. And candy his wife. They have been friends for a longtime. Let me tell you something i learned. Loenstein was friends with Bobbie Kennedy. He was assassinated, it was horrible. He was assassinated after Bobbie Kennedy was assassinated. Somebody walked in his office and blew him away. We all used to watch my partners and i used to watch William F Buckley on firing line. He was witty and he went to yale. He used a lot of big words, and his son went to yale with me. I buckley was a keen intellectual and i like how he took on the left. There was a famous interview he did. It was like two duelers like a sword battle. It was great. It was exhilarating. What do they have to do with each other . Opposite ends of the political spectrum. We were shocked when lewenstein was assassinated. I remember reading about his funeral. The person who gave his eulogy was William F Buckley, his best friend. At that moment i knew that the power elite was more complicated than the cartoons and the stereo types we in the black community were circulating about who was a good guy and who was a bad guy. It was black like me. Your afro had to be so big and you had to l swahili words or you werent really black. Or you had to be like the black panthers or the nation of islam. Ideology was the most important thing about you and then you look at the white power elite, the people who run this country. They fratter myselfed with each other all the time. People arguing on cnn and then go out to dinner together and their kids go to the same school and they get married and play tennis together. They tran send ideology. Ideologies change and friendships are forever. I have never forgotten that lesson and never abandon my friends. I thought you were not getting a fair deal, but more than that, i didnt even know the circumstances. I just wanted you to know that i would be there for you. This too would pass. You know, on that note because you are taking me to a place that i had not considered in sitting down with you. What we are talking about now is above ideology. Above it. Why do you think particularly among blacks the attacks are so harsh against those that do subscribe to a different fill loss philosophy whether they support trump or mccain or romney or bush, it is seen as a betrayal of an oath. I tell you, i dont get that. I dont get the harshness. I think it is because we do have a national platform. I think people have gotten to understand who i am, and i have been this way all my life. There is respect, but there is dialogue. Yet with others it is just so vicious. I just say why . I think i can explain that. I have seen you with crowds. I had the pleasure of inviting you to Marthas Vineyard to our on annual panel last summer chaired by my dear friend, the great figure Charlene Hunter gault. You were representing right wing opinion within the spectrum and on the spectrum of black opinion. That audience, you know, they were taking you on, man, and they were standing up by the end you got the loudest applause. You know why . You took it. You responded. You were witty. You didnt take it personally. People admire that in the black community. I think we have a generation today that is ahystorical. I dont think they understand the ideological understanding we have had. I teach with my great brilliant lawrence bovo. And it is called african, africanamerican studies 110. Introduction of africanamerican studies, what the kids call blackness 101. We start with the century. The whole class is built around debate that the black people have had over what it means to be black. There never was one way to be black, never, not one time. Hold on. Professor luis gates is our guest. He has a series called afri this program is brought to you by welcome back to the Armstrong Williams show. I was reading a recent can i ask you a question . Sure. I think it is important for people to under that it to understand that it hurts you when you are attacked. It hurts you when it doesnt bother me at all. Come on. Really . When people are vicious. Why . I tell you why. Protect yourself. I have learned from being in that laboratory every night at sirius radio is that people dont know you. I found through dialogue and discussions that people who used to say those apologized that i didnt know you and when people talk about you, they say you dont know him. So i give people the benefit of the doubt. They just dont know. When people operate out of a lack of knowledge and a lack of understanding and they lash out. What gives you the sense of selfconfidence. Because i know who i am. Thats something all of our children need to understand. You have to be rooted and you have to be centered. My parents gave me a sense of myself and my brothers sense of ourselves beyond you know, some people say you need to put fred lick douglas picture on the wall and Booker T Washington and Martin Luther king when your child is born in the nursery. Give them black history lessons. And i make my living dark dash thats thats my day job teaching africanamerican studies. The most important thing is having a mother that says you are bea and i will be with you forever and having a father who says that and being nurtured in the community. No matter what happened in the world i can always go home. No matter what happened. Knowing who you are and realizing that when people really say those things they are not talking to you. They are talking about a caricature that they have developed in their own brain. It is never personal. I want to come back. I think you have done something that is extra or extraordinary with your african civilization series. Africas history has been tied to europe. There has been a narrative that africa never really had a history of its own. You are going back to these places to do the research and you have come away with extraordinary conclusions and people today who c dont understand the legacy of literature of art and science and medicine that originated. We were deprived of those stories to justify, first, the enslavement of our ancestors. 12. 5 million africans wer enslaved. New shipping records count the slaves. We know they were boarded on ships to the new world and 10. 8 million got off the boat. 15 died in the passage. To justify that evil institution where race and class were fused in the body of the black woman or the black man called the slave, they took away the dignity of our history, access to our history. And slavery when it was abolished was fold by colonialism. European powers and king leapold sat down in berlin and africa like it was a piece of meat. You want the pepperoni . You want the saw uh sausage . What do you want on your pizza . They had to create a stereo type of our ancestors that they were ignorant, prim ma tiff and primitive, no development and no movement in africa. George hagle said that in an essay called the philosophy of history. It says africa is the land of the undeveloped. There was no movement. That means if we were in a time machine and went back to 1,000 ad or 1,000 bc our ancestors were living the same basic life in a mud house and hoeing with a dirt floor and herding animals or whatever. We had contributed nothing to, quote, unquote, civilization. This is not true. More fascinating is that europeans knew that. The example i like to site is a man whose mentor he became the duke of tuscany. His tutors prepare a summary of world leaders. This is about the time shakespear is writing hamlet. Queen elizabeth the first and you know who else . King alvaro the second, the king of the kongo. The mythical king of ethiopia, they knew about the european world. African kingdom like kongo, ethiopia they said sent ambassadors to the vatican and other courts in europe. They sent their kids to be educated. The king of kongo convert to roman catholicism and then sent his son to portugal to be educated. He comes back and the v the congo in 1517. A power move on the kings part. They knew each other and they dealt with each other as equals and not in the saw saw board net way. When i was growing up, we thought nothing good or complicated or interesting had come out of africa because thats what we were taught. We thought africa was tarzan. It is just not true. They took away our history. You dont have to be a black nationalist to believe this. This is just the way it was. There was a queen. Amani rinas beat the row fans fans in 24bc. She was the queen of maraway which is nubia and in a battle with the romans who were trying to take a kingdom. She not only defeated them, but her augustus casar himself. After the battle she confiscated a bust of Augustus Caesar and put it next to her throne so everybody who came to see her had to step on his head. Hold that. Professor luis gates is our guest. I am Armstrong Williams, your host. Welcome back. Thank you. As a man reminds me of you. The richest man in history was a
