A Breath of Fresh Heir

Etymology is another interesting subject by David aka ancientblackcivilizednation.tumblr.com

I love looking up the root of words. I remember listening to a Louis Farrakhan speech where he would break down the meaning of a word like it was nobody’s business (Malcolm could do this too). One of the words that he broke down which impressed me was “negro” (Malcolm taught him this).

In essence, he said that we’re told that the word “negro” comes from the Spanish word “negro,” which comes from the Latin word “niger,” meaning black, correct?

But there is a closer Latin/Greek word which sounds like the Spanish word “negro.” That word is “necro/nekro,” literally meaning “corpse.” That is why you look in the dictionary and see all these words relating to death that have “necro” as the prefix.

For instance, Necromancy means “the supposed practice of communicating with the dead; witchcraft, sorcery, or black magic in general.” [The origin is from Middle English nigromancie, via Old French from Medieval Latin nigromantia, changed (by association with Latin niger, nigr- ‘black’) from Late Latin necromantia, from Greek (see NECRO- , -MANCY). The spelling was changed in the 16th century (1500s/beginning of slavery in America) to conform with the late Latin form.]

Sometimes when you look at us, don’t you see a mentally dead people who need resurrecting? A people who have very little knowledge of who they are, or where they come from? History is so important for all human beings. Without it, you’re lost. We had lost it, but now we’re recovering it. We are just like those dry bones that are spoken of in the Bible (Ezekiel 37:1-14) who needed the breath of the Lord to enter them so they could come alive.
