The Racist Teachings Against Blacks by Asamoah Yaw and Avraham Moshe have Destroyed their Own Intellectual Credibility

In teaching that there is no God, the Ghanaian octogenarian called Asamoah Yaw is simply stating the obvious truth which should be commonplace to any thinking being. But by also teaching that the Blackman is inferior, Asamoah Yaw turns the knife of ignorance on himself, rendering useless all his pretension to scholarship, and all his effort at teaching anything of value. Same goes to Avraham Ben Moshe whose position on God, although mixed, is both logical and rational enough, except that he also teaches the inferiority of Blacks.

That God does not exist is no mystery. Those who believe in God are per se ignorant, and they do not include educated clergy wo profit from the name of God. If any clergyman has attended a seminary, he knows that there is no God because it is the topic of Religion 101. There is no God. Period. The other thing is that whoever claims to do any act in behalf of God, unless he is crazy, knows that he is acting to deceive. Nobody can convince me that those taking tithes or performing fake acts of healing or praying ceaselessly or speaking in tongues don’t know that they are tricking others into palpable deceit.

Everybody involved in any of these fake activities knows that it has nothing to do with God. And if someone says that he has heard the voice of God, that person bears witness against himself insofar as he is the first person to know that he is lying. Again, if any prophet says that God has spoken to him, what shows that he doesn’t know that God has not spoken to him? Since God does not exist, and the person is saying that he has heard his voice, then it automatically means that he is lying of course. And can anybody know that a person is lying more than the person who is lying?

It follows that whatsoever is done in the name of God, insofar as there is no God, is a patent lie which those acting in his name are the first to know. A person pretending should be the first to know that he is pretending. So, the one acting in the name of the non-existent God, knows exactly what he is doing.

But many people will choose all the things in the world and lose their souls if they know that there is no soul to lose. It is therefore not true that it will not profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul. There is no God; and there is no soul; there is no life after death; and there is no heaven or hell; only children believe in these fairy tales. And if I can create a hokum for others to believe and give me all their money and resources, why the hell not? After all, isn’t life about the survival of the fittest?

And that is the position of all religious leaders. They find an easy and simple way to purvey the religious hokum to live a very comfortable and luxurious life. They are not telling you about the power of God just because they themselves believe in it. On the contrary, they are telling you the hocus pocus because they profit therefrom. They have power, mansions, wealth, ……And why should you think that they will take it kindly that you expose them. What is the incentive for them to disclose that they are deceiving you to take your money from? More conveniently, they will kill you or destroy you or harm you to preserve their privilege.

And that is exactly what has happened in the world: Those who killed or burned or tortured or impaled the so-called saints were not stupid enough to think that they were worshipping God: they simply did it because it protected their power, prestige and interest.

Maybe those that got killed were also stupid; because to die for God is to die for nothing since God does not exist. And if the table had turned for these martyrs to triumph, it is more likely that they would have seized the same opportunity to destroy the leaders of the whole hostile establishment. It follows that as far as religion goes, everybody knows that everybody is pretending, especially at the very higher echelons of the religious leadership.

You could argue that the poor and the lowly and the ignorant, being the main targets of the religious hokum, and being mainly ignorant and uneducated, and a great source of income, are the victims of the great deception, and may therefore be unaware that they are being duped. Also included in the class of the ignorant may be some superiorly naïve others who are grown and educated but choose to remain victims……

But the point of all the foregoing is that atheism is nothing extraordinary at all. If a person chooses to reason the matter, he or she will note that there is definitely no God. Or that nobody understands the term itself. Or that if people understand the term, it means differently for everyone. The term God is individually defined and means differently for everyone following him. We do also have in this world forty-five thousand denominations with each one of them claiming to have the right God and poised to persecute the other denomination’s God. They call each other atheistic or at least infidels and hate one another with great passion. The only person they hate more is the atheist, a person that says there is no God. So when it comes to the existence of God which is individually defined and denominationally contested, these people are willing to combine their effort to kill the atheists before separating themselves to kill each other…….

I say again that it is not a question of high mindedness for one to teach that there is no God. Everybody with a smidgen of logic and rationality knows that there is no god. People are not fools. If something is not working for them, they are the first to know. And people know all the time that the God hokum does not work for them. They are just following the lies because they don’t have a choice. They must just keep the charade going to belong to the social and economic hierarchy.

And so, people like Asamoah Yaw, or even Avraham Ben Moshe are not doing any extraordinary thing by exposing the religious hokum. What they don’t seem to understand is that the people they are preaching to have plugged their ears and refused to listen to them because they simply don’t want to listen to them. How do you tell people who prefer lies that here is your truth? If they beat you up. They will be right, because you are disturbing their preference. People can be assumed to be fools if they are knowingly acting against their self-interest, but they will be behaving more as typical human beings; for philosophy, inasmuch as it holds true human logic and human rationality, is not necessary a tool oof human survival. The human paradise is better achieved through the ignorance of the masses, and not necessarily through popular wisdom and insight. There is enough literature to show that the more enlightened a population, the more cantankerous, and the more ignorant, the more manageable.

And so, my beef with Asamoah Yaw, and Avraham Moshe is not that they are teaching the obvious. My problem with them is that both depart from their teachings to assert the inferiority of the Blackman. Whatever the Blackman may have done, he has not done anything uniquely different from what any other race has done. We have gone to war of attrition just like the other races. We have worshipped all manner of gods just as the other races. We have massacred our enemies just like anyone else. And we have failed in many aspects of life and disappointed ourselves just as anybody else….But we have also participated equally in the building of human civilization just as anybody else.

But we have been unluckier than others by our history insofar as our misfortune seems out of proportion than others. Our very color became the symbol of slavery and subjugation. And we were depleted as no other through the North-South Trans-Sahara slave trade spearheaded by the Arab slavers, and later through the Trans-Atlantic slave trade spearheaded by the Europeans. We are not suggesting that slave trade was unique to us because the truth is that it was a global trade. We are simply saying that because our skin color became a symbol of slavery, we were treated as subhuman chattel, brutally tortured, and also carted like cargo across the oceans to become slaves to others. And this evil trade was done in far more quantities than hitherto known.

During those evil years, we were taught how to be proper slaves……How to lose our language, to accept the superiority of the master, to imbibe his insults, to be brainwashed, insulted, intimidated, obnubilated. And suppressed and oppressed.

If you subject any race to this kind of trauma, you will also have the same kind of inferiority complex and lack of confidence. Especially the skin color that made him a slave, he will abhor, and admire as more beautiful and superior the color of those who hold sway over his destiny.

And so, our struggle today has nothing to do with the inherent inferiority of our humanity. It is the product of history and sociology. That is what we must understand: If the table had turned, and the white people had the receiving end of our trauma, the outcome as it is for us, will be the same as to them.

And this is something which biology and sociology have proven. The world did not begin with the automatic acceptance of the black person on co-equal terms. Indeed, the pseudo-science of craniology was used to affirm our inferiority status. But the perpetrators of this false science were compelled to abandon the west to traduce Black, because the evidence was simply no there. So it is not as if the other races were not trying hard to designate us as the inferior race. They simply were forced by compelling scientific evidence to abandon their theory of Black inferiority. What is more, whenever and wherever a Black person is given the adequate opportunity to excel as much as any contemporary of the races, the Black has equally or even better excelled

So the lie that the Black person is inferior has been long debunked, even by enemies of the race. But residual albeit dangerous traces persist, wherefore even supposedly educated Africans become victims of this residual complex of inferiority.

And people like Asamoah Yaw, and Avraham Ben Moshe still cling to the traces of the historical lie, claiming that the Black man is inferior. Unfortunately, that exposes their own inferiority complex since they are both Blacks. But more dangerously, they are investing general inferiority in the population, causing the nation great and irreversible harm.

Avraham Ben Moshe tells a joke of how God created the Blacks out of the surplus clay from which he created humans. He claims God created humans and was about to dump the unused clay when the angels begged him to let them experiment with the clay to create humans. The product was the Black man.

Asamoah Yaw, claims that he did his own research to establish that the melanin in the Blackman’s brain limits him from thinking rationally and logically. What these illiterate goons are aiming to achieve with this nonsense nobody knows, since both are blacks, and by their own logic, cannot think rationally and logically by their own admission. Ironically, both aim to teach ultimate truth.

We could therefore argue that these two men, who want to be seen as professing ultimate truth, are nothing but subhuman by their own logic. And this also happens to be the dilemma of the wisest teacher, that no matter what he knows, he doesn’t know much. The kind of truth which both Avraham Moshe and Asamoah Yaw is teaching about God is an open secret that is known by all thinking humans. Another truth that is also available to all thinking humans is the truth of our common humanity. That commonality has been scrutinized and accepted by rigorous science that the human being ifs not defined by his race or color or eyes or nose. The human being is classified as a human being by the mere fact that he or she is a human being.

And when loud mouths like Asamoah Yaw and Ben Moshe seek popularity by teaching the God hokum, while trashing the Black race, they are doing more harm than good than they realize. They are affirming the old albeit shunted claim of Black inferiority while becoming agents of the White supremacy hokum. But if we are to choose between teaching the obvious non-existence of God, or the supposed inferiority of Blacks, they are better off teaching that they are as good as any other human being under the sun. That is what we need as Black people.
