This author points out several imp. points.................for one,,,,,,,,,,,,just b/c someone says something...........does not make it true.......................we see the Jews today........many are white..........but many are also black...............the common thinking is that Jewish is a race..........Judaism is a religion...........

There is a common belief among whites that philosophy originates with the Greeks. The idea is so common that almost all of the books on philosophy start with the Greeks as if the Greeks pre-dated all other people when it came to discussion of concepts of beauty, art, numbers, sculpture, medicine of social organization. In fact, this dogma occupies the principal position in the academies of the Western world, including the universities and academies of Africa. It goes something like this:

Philosophy is the highest discipline.

All other disciplines are derived from philosophy.

Philosophy is the creation of the Greeks.

The Greeks are white,

Therefore, whites are the creators of philosophy.

In the view of this dogma, other people and cultures may contribute thoughts, like the Chinese, Confucius, but thoughts are not philosophy; only the Greeks can contribute philosophy. The African people may have religion and myths, but not philosophy, according to this reasoning. Thus, this notion privileges the Greeks as the originators of philosophy, the highest of the sciences.
