Lol, I think you are confusing me with the wrong person. But definitely will read those threads :smile:

Nah. I'm pretty sure I ain't. Your posts sound very similar to those characters on that site. Especially labeling all non Horner Africans Bantu's and also bragging about Somalis being the first to use cannons in Africa. Think I was born yesterday?:sasukecocky:

All people in the Horn call Non Cushytic people as Bantu. And All Somalis know the war between Ethiopia and Somalia, it is taught in school.

But their not.

Are these Khoisan people also Bantu?

According to you any non Cushyte people are Bantu.

This should be interesting.

Anyways that Somali character use to troll on many sites. But I mostly knew about him on the Nigerian site Nairaland.

He went by the name ayanle and many others. Here are some of his many threads!
Why Do Africans Worship Somalis/Ethiopians/Eritreans - Ethnic/Racial Politics - Nairaland
History Of Blacks - Tell Me - Culture - Nairaland
Ethiopians Are Caucasion-video - Culture - Nairaland
The Reason Why Blacks Try So Hard To Claim Somalis/ethiopians - Culture - Nairaland

And forgive my post on Somalis. I was very tribal back then.
Damn in the first link, that nigerian gave that boy the business. nikka was sounding like MLK and shyt. so calm and collected. :wow:

Bantu is a linguistic group not an ethnic one, it's use in the context of ascribing ethnicity is erroneous. I have never heard of people using the term Bantus for any other context besides some common features or words in languages from Central,Eastern and Southern Africa. The apartheid regime in SA used it to justify giving substandard education to blacks as well as justifying their racist ideology and land theft on the basis of differentiating the Khoi and San from black people and then claim that they only came in contact with the former and that they owned that land instead of the "Bantus".

Most use Bantu as a fill-in for Niger-Congo speakers, of which Bantu is a branch. Majority of Black people come from that family.

True but still not accurate , there are non-Bantu languages within that group that probably constitute a larger number of speakers because of the West African numbers. I have not seen it being used as an identifier of ethnic groups except to differentiate those groups that I mentioned. There are Bantu language speakers in Kenya and Nilotic language and I don't know if Kenyans use that distinction in identifying the different groups.

Most people aren't going to list every ethnic group, though

I just interpret Bantu as "Blacks whose ancestors crossed the Wet Sahara from East Africa, down from Mauritania and along the Niger river basin from Central Africa (plus pygmies who were already in WA) and mixed & settled in West Africa"

Of course from that group, Bantus left and pushed East and South and along the way, pockets of Nilotic and Khoi San mixing with the Bantus occurred, but the shared ancestral homeland is a more unified marker

I have another interesting question. How do Ethiopian feel about Italians? Like them? Dislike them? I know they tried and failed to colonize Ethiopia. Some former colonized African countries have good relationship with their former colonizers e.g Senegal or Ghana while some have a not so good one e.g Zimbabwe, Kenya and Uganda. But Ethiopia was never colonized, but again what are Ethiopian views on Italians?
