African Americans are diverse.
Abdul Salau argues in his PhD dissertation that the ethonym "Yoruba" is actually an Egyptian name, but by way of a Hausa naming convention. The Yoru- in Yorubais the root. The Hausas called the Yara people Yarabawa. Bayarabe is the singular form for Yoruba man, and Yorubawa is plural form for Yoruba people.
The Yoruba, as a whole, is named after a Sub-clan, the Yara, living in Iyara, Kogi State, Oyo ile south of River Niger. The Hausas called the Yara people Yarabawa. The word Yara, Salau argues, comes from Egyptian /wr(t)/ which means "great, lord, god, master, etc." It is a royal name. More specifically he argues that it comes from Egyptian Great House: (Pr-Wr) ->Bw-Wr-> Wr- Bw. Egyptian W corresponds and interchanges with Yoruba Y, thus W > Y (wr > yr). Demonstrations are in the text (although I think they are rather weak).
Certain Yoruba clans living below the River Niger valley are called Yara, and Aworo. Both Yara and Aworo are ethnic or clan names, which survives in our epoch. In fact, we mentioned a place known as Iyara in Kogi State, and we note that Awori is a clan name among Egba people. The Yoruba name originally was used to refer to the people of QyQ who are Alafin or sovereigns, the title Yoruba was used to designate the QyQ who are all related to Alafin.
An issue I have with his analysis is that he doesn't explain how the -ba in Yoruba came to be. He discusses the Hausa naming convention, which is cool, but when it comes to the Yara people, he doesn't explain how the -ba just gets tacked onto the name. In other words, why would the Hausa tack on -ba to the word Yara-/Yoru-, when none of his other examples show this feature in the Hausa naming convention?

Indeed, there's a real nice piece written by a Nigerian author talking about the mayhem that transpired on the continent during that time and it touches on the methodology used to capture chiefs, turn tribe against tribe etc.the level of violence that occurred was unprecedented, so many Africans died fighting right there in Africa.
Pour libations, Respeck.

Would like an honest opinion on this.
So I'm driving home about a week or so ago, and I stop at a stoplight when an old rusty Chevrolet pickup pulls up next to mine. The driver is a younger white guy, maybe 22-25 years old. Camo hat and jacket.
He looks at me, then leans over to his radio and turns on a little rap song called "My N****s" (some of you may know it). He turns it up, looks me dead in the eye, and starts signing the lyrics.
He rides along side me for a while, even turning on the same street. He finally turns off and I hear the song cut off.
What should I have done?

first time posting in this thread. Hopefully y'all dont shoo me away.
I've been reading alot more, this being my current:
and as it provides precise, impartial and very detailed accounts of the movements of the party and the political/historical climates these events happened in, every now and then the book will go on a tangent and profile key members. I'm at the part when they profile Eldridge Cleaver. His tasks in the movement were phenominal and the transition he made from prisoner to national beselling author, essayist and reporter is amazing, but really the things he did before his alliance with BPP and after was fukked.
Like...what he did as a voice to the BPP was great...but the other shyt HOW THE fukk DID WE LET HIM COOK with the other shyt he did
