They continually seek to control it and dictate what we learn, it has been the subject of systematic revision, whitewashing, phony science, erasure, and among many things a way to justify or reinforce racism for their cruelty. The truth is impossible to contain, therefore the importance of taking ownership of our own history could not be emphasized enough. But it must be done with the purpose of repairing and healing our nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a><a><\/a> <strong>Isaiah 33:6<\/strong> <em>\u201c<\/em><em>And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, <\/em><em>and<\/em><em> strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD <\/em><em>is<\/em><em> his treasure.\u201d<\/em> Considering that our history has been assaulted, it is understandable when some of our people dislike history or turn a deaf ear. Since their teachers exalt their own history as the \u201cbeginning of civilization\u201d while making us believe that ours is primitive without a written record. If I have not already convinced you into studying your past, learning the truth and identifying the lies we were taught. Then let me explain to you the serious problem of the memory loss that we suffer. It could be compared to a cognitive disease like dementia or Alzheimer, where you are severely impaired, with instability and confusion. If you choose not to remember the abuse done to you, then it will be impossible for you to survive with this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pod.12t.co\/history-begins-with-us.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"142\" src=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download-orange.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-791\" style=\"width:300px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_2815\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2182-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/pod.12t.co\/history-begins-with-us.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/pod.12t.co\/history-begins-with-us.mp3\">https:\/\/pod.12t.co\/history-begins-with-us.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deuteronomy 33:29 \u201cHappy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.\u201d If history is a subject of little importance, why do our oppressors &hellip; <\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_2817\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2182-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/pod.12t.co\/history-begins-with-us.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/pod.12t.co\/history-begins-with-us.mp3\">https:\/\/pod.12t.co\/history-begins-with-us.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2183,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4,5],"tags":[751,174,24,282,62,179,562],"class_list":["post-2182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","category-radio","tag-adam","tag-black-history-month","tag-black-jews","tag-dna","tag-history","tag-jesus-christ-is-black","tag-racism"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/adam-bhm.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5imEI-zc","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2182"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2190,"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2182\/revisions\/2190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/12tribes.net\/stn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
