That shyt bout to called South China in 50 years:mjlol:


Why 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation don't give a fukk about Africa? fukkin Pan Africanist

You add nothing to this conversation. You should see yourself out of the thread

You're here chucking it up that it will be called South China in 50 years?

If a CAC or Asian said that shyt thecoli would be coming for their head, but you a supposed Black man posts that shyt and finds it funny?

How about do something about your peoples situation or gtfo :camby:

I'm getting tired of hearing or reading you dumbass Negros joke about serious fukkin Afrikan problems.

Modern-day Africa is a European creation... Africa is a figment of the white man's imagination.

The state borders were created by white men.

I'm pretty sure most of the countries were named by white men.

The lakes & rivers were named by white men.

Like someone else said in the thread - many of us in the diaspora also have european names - which means the white man gave us our name.

Its a sad situation.

One of the many reasons why the black man is not respected on the global stage.

So really only India and Pakistan were changed. The rest had a temporary revision then went back to their original names.



They weren't countries in the European sense. But they were established areas held by kingdoms all over Africa. Plus the country of Ghana is not the Empire of Ghana. Those are two different things. In fact, IIRC, those are two different areas almost entirely. Also Benin's original name was Dahomey. Benin itself was actually another kingdom in what is now southern Nigeria.

Pakistan never even existed before 1947. Nor for that matter did India, which aside from a couple of centuries between about 300 and 100 BCE was pretty much always a region containing several different, independent countries, and not a single unified state.

The oldest name given to the land mass by someone else.

The land was called many names, depending on the tribe.
I understand, it just doesn't feel right calling it the name of a colonizer.

If rather call it something else other than Africa.
Calling it Africa means whites has their thumbs on black people even in their own continent. L

What's the difference than them distorting F.B.A. history?

All facts. We also speak a European language.

Every single country in Africa - with the exception of what is now known as Zimbabwe and Ethiopia - were colonized and marked by Europeans.

Sad state of affairs.

Rename the continent
Rename the rivers, mountains and natural wonders (Well the ones that has non original names)
Rename the animals
Redraw the borders(How many Africans died due to aritifical foreign imposed borders, Millions??:snoop:)
And remove all foreign labels immediately


Sounds good. A lot of African leaders didn't want to do it because they felt that if they did, there would be endless war and land grabbing by the different tribes.

So what you're saying is inaccurate. You're literally comparing apples to oranges.
I'm not, my point was that the name didn't really matter by using examples of other nations.

I understand, it just doesn't feel right calling it the name of a colonizer.

If rather call it something else other than Africa.

Do y'all think whites have their thumbs on Asians because their continent is called Asia named by whites?

This was what I meant by self pity and feeling bad about stupid shyt in the first page.

I don't care what Asians do. I didn't even know and don't care. I only care about US. If Asians let it rock that's for them to deal with.

I'm not comparing my race to any other race. It's always a comparison when it comes to us. Everybody thumb their noses at black people saying we don't know our own history, including Africans.

Who also don't know theirs:yeshrug:

Also, a lot of “African leaders” were educated at Cambridge and Oxford and placed in position as shadow Prime Ministers to the Crown, disguised as sovereign leaders.

Aight. Let bring some actual knowledge here

The OG name of the Motherland is actually Afu-Ra-Ka/Afuraitkait. Given in the Nile River Valley (Kemet)

Afu = Flesh; House; Flesh of Ra/Rait
Ra = Sun. Children of the Sun. This denotes black people.
Ka/Kait = Land


Most of this is based on hieroglyphics. Set in stone.

Publius Cornelius Scipio did not name the continent of Afrika. It was after he invaded Northern Afrika in the Punic Wars that he named himself "Africanus".

The Arab version "ifriqia" comes from the roman corruption Africa. It is often suggested that the reason why the Romans used the term is that the roman suffix –ca means ‗land‘ and Afri is the name of an Amazigh tribe who occupied the land when the Romans invaded.

The Romans are therefore said to have called the territory in the northern part of the continent: the land, ca, of the Afri people, hence Afri-ca.

The Amazigh ethnic group mentioned is called the Aourigha, often written Afarik. We have shown above clearly that the term ka (qa) definitely does mean land (high land), however, it is not a term created by the Romans. The roman ca, is a version of the term ka, that the Romans learned of when they invaded Kamit. The Afri people or Afarik (Aourigha) did not materialize on the continent when the Romans arrived. Their Ancestry, their language, and thus their ethnic name reflects the culture of the region that they inhabited, North Afuraka/Afuraitkait. This, of course, is the region of Kemet and the areas west and east of Kemet where the Pharaonic culture was found as well. The ancient Aourigha inhabited these areas over 10,000 years before the invasion of the whites.

Today‘s Amazigh is represented by the original Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit Aourigha of the region and misrepresented by the descendants of white Europeans and white Arabs who invaded and polluted the blood of some of the Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut. The white and white-Arab mixed descendants of white
invaders/rapists falsely refer to themselves as Amazigh (Aourigha) and Berbers, just as white Arab invaders in Kemet (Egypt) today falsely call themselves ―Egyptians.

The two links below go more in-depth.

About the name "Alkebu-lan" which is an Islamic name. We should know that Islam didn't make it into the continent until the 7th century CE.
