Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Michael Arry Show. Pastor James David Manning has been
on our show before. Pastor James David Manning is not
afraid to speak his mind. He's the pastor of the
altah Alta missionary church in Harlem that stands for all
(00:23):
the land Anointed Holy, That's what he calls Harlem. You
may remember him being on our show when George Zimmerman
was in the news. Remember Trayvon Martin and the Neighborhood
Association pulling over and Trayvon tries to beat George Zimmerman
to death and ends up dead. Well, Pastor James David
(00:47):
Manning does not take orders from Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson,
Ben Crump, Barack Obama or any of the white liberals.
He speaks his mind in the pulpit of the church
that supports his ministry. And this week actually I guess
it was last weekend he addressed the latest narrative that
(01:10):
somehow the white man stole everything from Africans. He had
some very strong opinions. Give this a listen, my friends.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, I spoke at the Oxford Roundtable. I think it
was saying Anthony's College it's a conglomeration of schools at Oxford.
It's not just one school, it's a whole bunch of
them that do various things. They all called Oxford. That
school was built, the wall around the school and the
(01:42):
building that I spoke in was built in the twelfth century.
It's a nice building, had a nice wall around it,
nice wooden gates and everything old is the outdoors. But
imagine building a building that stood fears in Cambridge. And
(02:06):
then one of the things about London in general is
that most of the buildings there were built in the
eleventh and twelfth century. Some built we went into the
name of that church were Queen Mary of Scots. The
Buried Church of England was the elementary who Westminster abbit
went to Westminster Abbey and it was built in the
(02:30):
thirteenth century. That there had never been a white man
that had set foot on the continent of Africa in
the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth and fifteenth century. No
white man had ever set foot on in the continent
of Africa. It had always been all black all the time.
The Great Wall of China built similar times, the taj
(02:53):
Mahal in India, the beautiful building in Russia. Peter the Great,
who was a very unusual and unlikely and unseemly lead
of Russia, turned out to be one of the best
leaders of Russia. Peter the Great, tall fell a interesting, dynamic,
inquisitive mind, camouflaged himself, went to England to study ship building.
(03:18):
He wanted to build ships. And Moscow had been the
leading city on the east on the west coast of Russia,
the biggest nation on the planet, and Kiev and a
few other cities were around, and everybody just got around Moscow.
But Peter the Great wanted to build another city because
he believed the Russia should be a seaguoring nation. He
(03:39):
wanted to build ships, so he took a bunch of
people down to the edge of the Black Sea and
built Saint Petersburg. You know about Saint Petersburg. It is
a beautiful city. It is an extraordinary city. I mean,
that's just when Lennon took ConTroll of control of Russia.
If I said Peter the Great's death, many generations are
(03:59):
after Lennon, who wanted to rule all of Russia, changed
the name of Saint Petersburg to Leningrad. I don't even
know that I've been interested in a little historyha of Night.
But after the death of Lennon, and then I forget under
whose leadership it was that the Russian people said, this
is we changed the name of Leningrad back to Saint
Petersburg because it is Saint Petersburg, and Lennon's ego got
(04:24):
in his way, so it's now called Saint Petersburg. But
if you ever get a chance to go to Russia,
don't go to Moscow. We'll go to Moscow too because
it's beautiful. But Saint Petersburg, this man built one of
the most beautiful working cities on the coast of the
where there was nothing there, and it's it is a
showplace to the world. Saint Petersburg, Peter the Great, Great
built shipbuild, great leader scientists. He was Russia's Benjamin Franklin.
(04:50):
No white man ever set foot on the continent of Africa.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
The Michael Berry Show, we're playing a sermon by Pastor
James David Maning you just tuned in, where he dispelled
the latest myth that white people stole every invention from Africans.
Manning says, if you were to go to Africa, you
won't find any buildings. You won't find any monuments built
(05:14):
by Africans dating back to the eleventh century. That's not
exactly true, because I've seen plenty of Ethiopia alone. But
he's mostly right in that white people didn't steal ideas
from Africa. The problems endemic to Africa are not limited
(05:36):
to slavery, although blacks did sell other blacks in slavery.
They're limited to corruption, failure to build infrastructure, failure to
educate in the sciences and mathematics and language, a lot
of time wasted on internasine wars tribe against the other,
(06:02):
failure to attract outside investment, failure to engage in trade
with the rest of the world so that you could
see what was happening and learn to improve yourself with
the catapult and police and road building and composites. In
any case, as is always the case, I do not
(06:24):
endorse the words of any guess one all the time.
I do, however, believe not in telling you how to think,
simply requesting that you do think.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You can't go to Africa find anything. It was built
in eleventh century, twelfth century, thirteenth century, fourteenth century. They're
still standing today because nothing was ever built.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
He said, what I had cities, had the great songhere kingdom,
they would demand Gingo.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Zulus. Yeah they did.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
They had large groups tribes, but then lives in tents
and they camp fired. They didn't build anything, and the
nations that they build to all dissolved today.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
There's nothing there. You can go to Liberia. James Monroe
gave the the Talbot family millions, and ships have sent
them back. You go to Liberia, go to Monroeville. Now
they're running around their young boys with machine guns and
cutting off one another's hands. The place they don't pick
up the garbage. Dead dogs stay in the street for days.
(07:34):
The place is a mess. It's a well up. They
don't know how to do nothing well. The white man
has kept us from building. No white man never listen.
White man was when they were building Cambridge and Oxford
and England and taj Mahall and building Saint Petersburg. No
white man never been to Russia. I've been to Africa.
(07:57):
It was just in fourteen ninety two that Columbus had
to come. That's the world that if you say, oh,
so far, you're not gonna fall off. Remember the world.
Everybody was pretty much thinking that this is the end
of it. There's nothing. There's not one city. You can
go from from North Sahara all the way down to
Cape Town and there's not one city. There's not one building,
(08:18):
ain't nothing, ain't nothing. And we gotta fill come of
terms with that. Some woman pointed out to me, there's
a rock. So where in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe was once called Rhodesha.
It was Zimbabwe and it was named by Cecil Roads,
who was a very wealthy Englishman who was one of
(08:38):
the first that journeyed down into South Africa, even when
there was fighting between the Zulus and the Africanas. But
it's a interesting is that the children in Zimbabwe were
playing with stones. They were barefoot, the red dust there.
They were just playing the stones. In one of the
(08:59):
Cecil Roads lieutenants said, boy, bring me that. It's all
about that day. Bring me that. And the kids have
been playing on it for days. They put it beside
the tree and then they come back and play with
it the king and they throw it around. And was
South Africa and in that region has one of the
largest most productive diamond pikes in the world, pikes that
(09:22):
just shoot diamonds up out of the air, out of
the ground. From out one hundred fifty thousand feet down.
It was so often, and the children were playing with diamonds,
I mean large diamonds, but the king and Africa people
had no idea of their value or even what they were.
And this was back in the nineteenth century. It wasn't
(09:44):
way back in the Voodoo days.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The Michael Arry Show. Pastor James David Manning, that's the
words we're sharing with you today. He's the pastor of
the Alta Missionary Church in Harlem. A sorry Atla, not Alta.
Atla stands for all the Land Anointed Holy.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
That's what he calls Harlem.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
He is a very proud black man, a black man
proud enough to call out other black people who are preaching,
or speaking or spouting nonsense. We've been listening to a
sermon he preached, dispelling the prevailing myth that white people
stole every invention from Africans. He points out that Europe
(10:32):
and Russia still have beautiful buildings standing that were built
before whites ever stepped foot in Africa. Then he said,
you won't find anything similar in Africa built by Africans,
dating back to the eleventh century. Here is the rest
of his sermon. You don't have to like what he says.
It might make you cringe. You may worry that someone
(10:54):
will overhear you listening to it. You'll be considered a
bad person. You don't even have to listen to it
for that matter. I just think it's a good idea
to listen to a lot of different perspectives, don't you.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
You can go from California to South Africa, to Kenya,
to Tanzania, to and by the way, he changed the
name of the country to Rhodesia. They've changed it back
now the Zimbabwe, and you can't find one city that
black people are built. You can find plenty ghettos, but
you can't find one city. Now that's not pleasant. And
(11:27):
many people argue with me, Yeah, we did build a city,
But what baron is stop this foolishness. Stop it, stop it.
You ain't never build nothing. You ain't never build nothing.
That whole continent. There's not one memorial, there's.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Not one thing standing in the entire continent. But everywhere
you go to China, you go to Mexico, even you
go to Brazil, and everybody's done something.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
There's a problem here and we got to stop fooling ourselves.
Ask God to help us, help us, help us. We
need help. The only thing we've ever done, we did
it because the white man gave us a platform upon
which to do it. He helped us. He built schools
for us, let us go. He built highways so we
(12:17):
could travel. We got admitted. Gotta stop these black folk
running around here talking about the white man. Did this
white man?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Did you gotta get that nest out to You ain't
never gonna be a productive for God. You ain't never
gonna be able to understand anything until you get that food.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Realized that we are in trouble. You'll never call on
God for help if you don't realize how difficult the
situations is. All these years, all these years, and even
here Halem, look at here, him gonna have to go
to Africa. Forgot about twelve thirty fourteen fifty says look
here it, hollerm look here rest time black person got
(12:55):
to get two quarters. They moved so far away from
Harlem that you can't you can't fire a missing to
the morning again. I thought i'd share those things with
y'all tonight. The moment we realized, wait a minute past
a man, I don't hate black people. He's telling us
the true He's telling us the truth. He's telling us
(13:15):
what's wrong with us.
