Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction I was motivated to compile this book "Africa's Beautiful Tribal People (Original Motherland)" because of racism and myths some humans still experience today as I compile this book. It would be impossible to write about every Tribe in Africa. Therefore, I fine the Mangbetu People Head Binding of babies very intriguing and unique. My assumption was in order for them not to be enslaved by other races they had to come up with an idea to shape their babies head by binding their head at an early age to deter kidnapping. This practice would keep their families together. When Slave Traders came upon them, they would consider their Tribe as a bad Omen and was undesirable to become civilized in the White man's World because of their elongated heads. What a clever idea for them to start to keep their people free from the harsh treatment they would otherwise suffer in captivity. There is always a reason man come up with something to preserve his culture to survive their identity. What an ingenious way to deter Slave Traders from taking their family away from them into Slavery some far away place and never be seen again. It is estimated that there are more than 3,000 Tribes in Africa. An exact number is not known, because it is believed that there still may be some undocumented Tribes in Central Africa. There are more than 2,000 languages collectively used by the Tribes in Africa. After much research on Tribes in Africa, I came to the conclusion they had to be tough people to survive in this hostile environment for thousands of years. Yet, each Tribe eked out a living with anything that was available to them to survive. They tattooed and adorned their bodies to enhance beauty into their culture so they would be different from each other. There was no need for clothes because the equator ran though the middle of Africa. There was no education to be taught to them like a Civilized Society. Yet, they came up with the most ingenious ways to create the most beautiful artifacts known to mankind. It make tears come in my eyes when White Western Societies look upon African people as inferior. Black people are the most beautiful people in the World. They were the first humans created by God. Only the Black female can give birth to a White baby. She has all the DNA necessary to create the different races in the World. So, who is superior? Should I say more? Anything a Black man puts his mind to, he can master it. One day in the future mankind will not judge a person by the color of their skin. Judge him/her by their character. Black women are the most sexy and beautiful women in the World. That is the absolute truth. Therlee Gipson
