The Black Authority, The Black Channel, and The Business

[generic-username]

There were no such thing as "Black" people or Black Culture before Transatlantic Slave Trade...

Nobody identified as just "Black"

We identified as Black because well...we don't have any tribal affiliations or country affiliations outside of the USA.


So yeah...we invented what it means to be Black...and then it was exported...

And I really don't give a fukk about the opinions of non-AAs or even AAs for that matter...

What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong...

There was no such thing as "Black" people before slavery...

There were Egyptians, Igbos, Yorubas, Ethiopians and etc...

There was no such thing as a global Black consciousness....

That was created in the USA...by us because we did not know where we came from..

Even the idea of Pan-Africanism and Afrocentrism was created in the Americas...

Yall nikkas just need to accept reality and stop trying to act like native born Black Americans did not create the racial politics and discourse that is used today....

This is basic shyt...

What does it mean to be Black? The concept of race was created by Europeans during the 1400s to justify imperialism and slavery. Techinically Europeans were the ones who gave you that identity.

Why are you mad yomoms

Identities are given and accepted. There's an exchange when it comes to creating identity. You can't be like..."I am Asian..." and nobody considers you Asian...are you really fukking Asian?

Nobody goes around self-identifying themselves...

And there are different types of Black people...

New World Blacks just happen to be of SubAfrican descent...

There's Global South Black people...that aren't African at all...

There's the Australian Aboriginals...that aren't African...

Blackness just like Whiteness is a colonial creation and the term is a colonial export...

AAs just happen to take it and mold it into a specific identity...

So like I see no reason why any African would be Black (other than the American scientific/genetic view of race where just being African makes you Black unless you are North African)...unless you come to the West where you have no choice but to be Black...

Cause when an African is at his home country...he or she is a member of a tribe and shyt...you are not Black.

Being Black in the USA is about disconnection and self-creation, pulling yourself together into a political consciousness that can be used to secure rights and self-determination....

It's not even about race. It's about reclaiming agency and being aware of the fact that you are a whole new being in a new land and you need something to cling to and organize around.

Can you ban that weirdo for talking rubbish? How can I be an undercover cac when people on here have my full name, my picture, my dad's pictures. One picture even has me sitting with my white mother. I'm not undercover anything. I literally gave a poster my home address. I'm about as transparent as they come. Why do these anonymous cowards talk tough shyt online

It's the coli.....

You know Haitians called themselves the first black republic? My dad still says that on the daily.

That would be the first root of a "global black consciousness"

AAs weren't even free until the late 19th century.


The frist Pan-African Conference was held in London by an Afro-Trindadian in response to the Berlin Conference.

Before that a global black identify among African-descended people was barely an imagination.

I know we’re the least cookish that’s for sure.

I know, right?

Americans absolutey love takeout food.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

The exisential concept of a "black identity" first arose in any area where an African slave was called a ****** in any of the European variations of the term (The Spanish and Portugese used negro, the French used negre, the Dutch used neger)


Not from AAs.

At the same time that Ethiopianism took institutional form in South Africa, African diasporic activist-intellectuals were beginning to convene pan-African conferences. The first of these was the Chicago Conference on Africa, convened on August 14, 1893. Lasting a week, it drew, among others, Henry McNeal Turner and Alexander Crummell, the Egyptian Yakub Pasha, and African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church bishop Alexander Walters. Topics of discussion included “The African in America,” “Liberia as a Factor in the Progress of the Negro Race,” and “What Do American Negroes Owe to Their Kin Beyond the Sea http://exhibitions.nypl.org/africanaage/essay-pan-africanism.html:coffee:

 

[JackRoss]

No... the fukk you didn't.

Cacs did to impose upon slaves throughout the ENTIRE Americas.


Then you AAs wonder why us non-AAs have to give you the ether.

Why do you say this as if white people don't control your land and take your resoucres???

 

[JackRoss]

Non African Americans on this site are funny.. Did white people simple come to African America country and take African Americans as slaves??? I guess you speech French in Haiti just because you want to


African countries gettin hit with a China man wave economically, not putting up a fight and want to try to shyt on African Americans

None of own any of this shyt and we look alike but we speakin like we own shyt to shyt on each other.. This is nothing more than a glorified "White people treat us better" discussion

 

[kayslay]

Most of you so called African amercans aren't even apart of the culture you claim. You are suburbanites who lived in upper middle class white neighbourhoods. Thats why everyone on here is college educated and works in offices lol.

You sound like a complete dumbass.

Stop speaking on my people and get a hobby.

"Around 1442, the Portuguese first arrived in Southern Africa while trying to find a sea route to India.The term negro, literally meaning "black", was used by the Spanish and Portuguese as a simple description to refer to the Bantu peoples that they encountered. Negro denotes "black" in Spanish and Portuguese, derived from the Latin word niger, meaning black" - Wiki

Negro or Black is an european concept (yeah, fukk em). But at the end of the day every negroid is a black man to me. And if there were no african americans, guess what europeans will still call africans? Black. Negro = Black

Neg away folks.

That wasn't Pan-African. All AAs and a supposed Egpytian named Yakub just discussing contentinental Africa...

There's barely any sources on this event, that's how much no one gave a fukk.

From August 14, 1893, to August 21, 1893 probably the largest number of African American participants in a world's fair event assembled as part of the Congress on Africa, or as it was sometimes referred to, the Congress on African Ethnology, or the Congress on the Negro.

Notice it's the "conference ON Africa" or "Congress on the Negro"


Also that conference wasn't influential at all and didn't spur shyt.

Meanwhile Dubois, an AA, went to THIS... one

A few years later, the Trinidadian barrister Henry Sylvester Williams began thinking about a political movement organized around a series of conferences that would draw representatives of the “African race from all the parts of the world.” In September 1897, Williams established the African Association (AA) to “encourage a feeling of unity [and] facilitate friendly intercourse among Africans,” and “promote and protect the interests of all subjects claiming African descent, wholly or in part, in British Colonies and other place, especially in Africa.” Based in London, the AA published studies, news reports, and appeals to “Imperial and local governments.” The AA’s leadership came from throughout the African diaspora: Rev. H. Mason Joseph of Antigua served as chairman; T. J. Thompson of Sierra Leone was deputy chairman, while the South African woman A. V. Kinloch was treasurer. As honorary secretary, Williams quickly directed the African Association into politics. In October of that year, he submitted a petition to Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, to include a clause in the Rhodesian constitution to protect native Africans’ interests, respect their customs, create industrial schools, and teach “a simple and true Christianity.” News of the African Association’s lobbying British government and members of parliament on behalf of Africans spread throughout the continent and served as the basis for enthusiastic response from Africans toward the organization.

Williams used the momentum to aid in organizing a Pan-African conference, which met in London’s Westminster Town Hall, from July 23 to 25, 1900. This conference drew to London approximately thirty-two delegates from Africa, the United States, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe (the largest contingent being African Americans, with only four African delegates). The London Pan-African Conference produced the Pan-African Association (PAA),

The London Pan-Afican Congress is still infuential to this day and is celebrated despite it ending 72 years ago.
