“Most of the history we were told is lies,” said Dr. Delbert Blair at a lecture Wednesday on “What Could Have or Would Have the World Done Without the Black Man.”

Dr. Blair has been an educator, lecturer and consultant for the past 20 years in the area of Ancient and Comparative Religions. He has received a Doctorate of Divinity from Roosevelt University.

“We’re told by biblical historians that Adam and Eve existed in a garden 4,040 B.C.E. (Before Christian Era),” said Blair. General historians claim the first civilized people to be from about 5,000 B.C.E., he added.

Dated in the year 75,000 B.C.E., a nail and a crystal skull were found in Africa, he said. A cube carbon-dated 2 million years ago also was found in Africa, he said.

The Egyptian society, begun in 3200 B.C.E., consisted of Negroid people as is shown in the pictures in pyramids and on coffins of the pharoahs, he said. This culture brought about the first open heart surgeon, he said. Mummies have been found with artificial hearts, teeth and evidence of brain surgery, he added.

The medical symbol, caduceus, also has been found in the tombs of pharoahs though the father of medicine, Hypocrates, or so the historians say, who was born centuries after the Egyptian empire, he said. “Another ideology in the minds of the people to miseducate them,” he said.

“In many universities and colleges we receive a training and that’s all,” he said.

The Egyptians were said to be very white looking, said Blair. According to the painted pictures in the Egyptian tombs, the Egyptians were black, he said. Historians will give black people too much power if they are aware of their Egyptian heritage, he added.

Many European people have their roots from Africa, he said. The Moors from Africa, named for their country Morocco, went into all the European countries, he said.

The first German saint, St. Maurice, and most of the original saints were black men, said Blair.

The Mafia, meaning the mother’s and father’s of Italy, are descendants from the Sicilians who were mostly black, he said.

Blair also included the Presidents Thomas Jefferson, Warren Hardy, Calvin Coolidge, Andrew Jackson, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower as descendants of black people.

People weren’t always distinguished by skin color but by the countries they were from, Blair said. Once the Negroids realized the full force of racism it was too late to fight back, he added.
