Did the Zipporah chick see this tumblr post?
…I’m serving morning tea.
Zipporah is the blogger that wrote that article called “African Americans stop Appropriating African Clothing and Culture.”
This is the photo that drove her to write that stupid blog post. This tweet was written by her on the 1st and her blog was posted on the 3rd. The funny thing about this picture is….everyone in this picture in African clothing is African Continental….not “African American”…lmao.
Young Paris (Milandou Badila) is a world famous musician from the DR Congo.
Ntangou Badila is a famous artist from the DR Congo.
Kwabena Samuel Nana Ofosu-Ware is a world renowned fashion designer from Ghana.
This “reporter” saw a picture taken in Brooklyn and assumed everyone there was born and raised in america…
What’s “Not Cool” is her divisive tactics against African people. You see we are such One People that she couldn’t even tell the difference by sight.
Before I go…let me be petty. I find it funny that she ONLY clings to “her African culture” when she wants to shame other Africans. While her Facebook is filled with pictures of her white boyfriend and her many trips to Asia. Her food blog is filled with nothing but Asian and British foods that she tries to make for her white boyfriend. Maybe if she spent less time wishing she was Chinese and serving her white man she would have known who these three famous, talented and very CHARITABLE Africans were.
Hope yall enjoyed your morning tea.
Have a great day Africans! All Africans! Diaspora and Continental! We are One People! Touch one, Touch all!
Uhuru!

chill,
Nikko is a Somali dance but I think it's only practiced in the south. I don't know if it's Bantu in origin but it's done by many southern tribes.
Yall can cheer yourselves up by watching my tribe's traditional dance

I noticed all of the AfroAsiatic Africans or the tribes bordering on afroasiatics do these similar group dances

Very interesting,I've heard that these dances originate from Sufi Islam, where dancing is a form of prayer and thanks to god
It's said that the first Muslims travelled the Red Sea between Yemen and Djibouti and brought with them some of their Sufi cultures, which were then adopted and added to Somali culture

Yeah, the Islam/Muslim connection makes sense...so it's hard to tell if it's a pan AfroAsiatic connection inside Africa or if it's outside Islamic influences.

A lot of these tribes would trade with one another exchanging not only goods but culture, Islam was a unifying factor in it as well.
I can tell you that Relationships between the horn and Yemen are ancient and at times Abyssinian emperors had dominion over Yemen.

You are a kid, Booty shaking is a traditional Tanzanians, Somali Bantus and Kenyan dance, it's not a Somali dance, Ask your parents.
Nikko is an Arabic word and it has nothing to do with dancing.
