User:Halaqah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Halakha (also transliterated as Halakhah, Halacha, Halakhot and Halachah) is the collective corpus of Jewish religious law, including biblical law Halaqah is a media organization,Halaqah is also a place in Yemen. Halaqah is also a name which means study group (forum) and is a common term used in my native land of AFRICA. I believe the search for truth is the best solution for humanity. If people can fight through dialogue then war can become history.
p.s my wife and daughter (PhD student) use this account (sine we have one family computer), so if you see any poor work, blame them ha ha ha lol!
I provide organizations with information, I link progressive groups together to let everyone know what everyone else is doing. Isnt the world richer when we share and engage in plurality? Isnt the world richer for diversity. You might like the sound of your own voice and your own point=of-views but how can we develop as humans like that? how can we learn?

[edit] What and who am I
I consider myself a Pan-Africanist and a Humanist, I am a Semitic person because one of my parents speaks a Semitic language Amharic, mine is very poor and i have done the next best thing, made sure my children speak it fluently. The other half of my blood line is Hausa I am thus royal on both sides.
[edit] One rule for all
If we wanna discuss racism then lets discuss all racism. I support my people until they cross the line, when Africans become oppressors then my representation stops very fast! I don’t care what color you are what religion every human being should have certain rights, not one rule for you another for me.
[edit] I love, I hate
I love the Jewish traditions, I love how they have overcome nasty oppression, they are the template for African people. But one thing i dont like is ... u can guess that country. Its South Africa again it is wrong it is wrong it is wrong. How can you do that to people, dont they have rights, dont they deserve the samething you have? when will the hatred stop? When will the hatred between Ethiopia and Eritrea stop, it is foolishness, theres always a reason to keep fighting and i think it is time we look at the billion reasons why we should fight. War is Stupid. let equality and plurality solve the world problems. The same thing for Islam, i love Muslims this and that, but they have racism that they like to forget about. So how can you complain when others are racist to Muslims when they are so racist to their own people?
[edit] When i woke up
I spent a long time studying African, but for 40 years what did i do with it NADA, then i saw a film 500 Years Later and two young people that made it in California and i felt shame, i asked what am i doing, i cant do that, but then let me do this. That was a turning point and i said let me be involved.
[edit] contributions
i am proud of my work in the Ethiopia related area and the maafa and bringing balance to some of those "slave topics" I have noticed that just by letting everyone edit wikipedia doesnt bring any more balance than usual because it is the same racist face that freely wonders around editing with the same mindset. i have been attacked from every angle because i want to bring balance. No Europe is not the standard, it is a standard for Europe, the heroes of europe are not world heroes, just because someone didnt make it to larry king doesnt mean they arent important re DAVID COMISSIONG and i am amazed na'im akbar isnt on here, proof that imbalance is still here in force. But i will be called many things for adding poeple i agree with. excuse me.
[edit] My heroes
Favourite films:
Favourite website
www.sankofa.com www.sankore.org www.africanholocaust.net www.antislavery.org www.wikipedia.org
My prime contributions are to Ethiopia. slavery and black people. and i have been monitoring and cleaning up Maafa so that sections started by African people are at a standard and not a community centre joke for all the world to see. My pride and joy is Ethiopian cuisine. You can thus guess i have Ethiopian blood. eshe!
everyone has an agenda, but if every agenda gets equal voice then maybe we can have balance.
[edit] Hidden Agenda
When they cant get you on your argument, or your sources they find something else, "promoting Afrocentrism" or "strange views" as long as you disagree with the "mainstream" racism you get attacked. So they have a rule for themselves and a rule for you. Its okay for them to promote the scholars of their world but when we site Maulana Karenga, Kimani Nehusi we have a hidden agenda. But citing David Hume and Immanuel Kant is COOL. When we talk about Sankofa and the African Holocaust (Maafa) we have an agenda. Putting links to BBC are "good" sources yet African Holocaust.net are "overty commercial. but PBS who sell more products is not "overtly commercial." But yes we have an agenda, the question is is it unfair and is it distorted and heavily biased--no no and no! If this site was left to Europe to develop, the same people that attack, Would it be a balanced and accurate site. The reverse wouldn’t be true either. But what i dont like is the dishonesty. Something is either true or false or we discuss. so why people looking to take things down when they know fully well they have an wicked agenda. They site empowerment and self-determination and attack it.
The biggest flaw with wikipedia is it is Majority rule. If they decided to get rid of me, they can just vote and it will be so. Or they can collectively (they being the people that edit wikipedia) edit you out. Revert edits endlessly. Some pages on Wikipedia remind me of being at school where some crews use to hang-out, you just know do not go there, it is off limits. But my favorite page has to be Ethiopia it is the most balanced page and you can read it and you know a European didn’t write it.
Isnt it funny how you can read the race of a writer. just the way they phrase things. Black African slaves were captured. While I would say Enslaved Africans were captured. African had no written history. I would say “African had a rich oral tradition and it also had a written culture in places like Ethiopia and Mali, etc”Sorry for going on but it helps to understand my agenda.
[edit] What the world needs to know
The more you oppress people the more they fight. Allow plurality allow multiculturalism and the world becomes a more tolerant page. Imagine watching a racist write your history. And your lips are sealed and your house is being burnt. Gabbash!
[edit] Who died and made Europe the authority on Africa
Slavery and colonialism had the Africans so occupied with building the West that they have been inactive in their history. So reparations needs to reverse this problem. This is self-reparations. But unfortunately many of us don’t know because of being oppressed. Europe has thus become an authority on African history. And those that go and learn it are ostracized written off, etc etc. But is it fair that you can go into Barnes and Noble and look for a book on Africa, and they are all written by Europeans—is that right? It’s a sign that we have a long way to go. What is a black person 90% of the defnitions are from "White people", u c the problem?
[edit] Wikipedia
The best thing about Wikipedia or the best thing i have gained from Wikipedia is learning that arguments must be presented and they must be balanced (relative). "The ablity to discuss and reason is clearly the higher aspects of human intellegence."
[edit] Racism
I don’t like any kind of racism. I don’t like to see someone attacking Jews because they are Jews or Muslims because they are Muslims. Hate is easier than love. And if the discussion is about say Slavery then it must be across the board. Some people know about one aspect and it is the collective contribution that builds the work.
[edit] Manners of scholarship
One thing i have learnt and i am proud to say it. Learning when you are wrong. Or learning when your argument is unsupported. Even if you are right and your argument is on a weak foundation you lose. It trains you to come again but stronger. I have had many fights on wikipedia and it made me think. I believe what i am saying but if i cannot properly defend it then I have to leave it out of the public domain. I hate dishonesty, I respect a KKK man who believes what he believes from his knowledge before a so-called Pan-African hypocrite who calls for one thing and then does another in full light of the facts.
