WTF is going on in ETHIOPIA??

[Henri Christophe]

just because europeans came to the continent and said you are X doesn't mean the inhabitants of said region are going to adopt to what someone else ascribes them

answer this question.

If what you're saying is true... then why do Africans respect the European-created borders and the fake ass names of the fake nations?

Like what the fukk is a Kenya? Nigeria? Ghana? Lake Victoria? The ancestors named it Lake Victoria?

What the fukk is a Congo? The modern-day Congo is not even located where the original Kongo-Kingdom was

What the fukk is a Christian? Last time I checked, we had thousands of spiritual systems.

Why do Africans follow everything the white man created - except blackness.

Just admit it.... Africans dont claim it because "blackness" is seen as weak and not something they wanna associate with.

If "blackness" came with land, jobs, infrastructure, and social benefits - everyone would be big pan-africans.

I understand my people.

Black people didnt even wanna escape the plantation until they heard about other black people living free in the swamps and mountains.

nikkas dont do anything unless they see clear benefits.... same way they embraced the fake borders & fake names... because the motivation was political independence.

Sudan and Egypt are still on about this forsaken dam, holy shyt i thought they let that die out already

I'm low key surprised that they haven't attacked already.

Not caring makes you a cac you autistic pedo

So you care about every conflict in Africa? Show me the receipts of your concerns over the other ongoing violent conflicts across the African continent: List of ongoing armed conflicts - Wikipedia

I'm not about false sympathy. That's some cac shyt.

Remember there is still a lot of ill will generated after many generations that didn't magically go away, the reason they let it go is because europeans created a kind quasi-pseudo 3rd party/neutral zone that FORCED others to play nice nothing more and nothing less. the minute those borders dissolve and those european customs are done away with things will get either really BAD or really GOOD only time will tell. This was done not because they liked but because it was that or sudden death, your call at that point. not everyone is ready to meet there maker.

again in a majority black country why would the categorizer be black? that doesn't make sense plus many african nations are made up many former ethno states it makes sense that main categories would be by ethnicity not race.

There's not tribal wars all over Africa.

Obviously.

My point wasn't that there were conflicts in every other African country. My point was what makes Ethiopia special when there are ongoing conflicts in several other countries across the continent. See here: List of ongoing armed conflicts - Wikipedia

Wtf does "power of blackness" mean specifically???

Black power, black pride just the love of us a people and knowing everybody that looks like you is family

 

[skylove4]

again the rest of world isn't america, stop using american customs to dictate other actions, you keep saying you understand but if you did you would understand that part very well

just because europeans came to the continent and said you are X doesn't mean the inhabitants of said region are going to adopt to what someone else ascribes them, people didn't call themselves black then so why would they now? you would have a much more sound argument if you said African in fact I've told folks you have better chance of ditching word black and replacing it with african and shyt will click faster

well the rest of the world better become like America African Americans have given the rest of the diaspora the blueprint, they need to read it

see now you're sounding like an imperialist, don't ever bring that mindset to any place you go outside the country. You wonder why everyone around the world hates America in general. It's because of that exact mindset.

Powerful post

 

[JackRoss]

I wonder what their prime minister thinks

 

[JackRoss]

I better see the same "what about Black on Black crime" and always mentioning Chicago dudes posting all in this bih

You won't. Instead of informing, they choose to ignore and deflect to Black Americans. They don't care about what's going over there, why should I?




Prime minister thinks we are the cause of our victimization

fukk them nikkas. They need to handle their own business. fukk Ethopian got to do with me? If it was important other nations on the continent would stand up and say something but they are silent.

I assume he's speaking of pan-Africanism. Unity around shared African roots, rather than tribal identity. I still think Gaddafi had a great idea with the United States of Africa. He just was too much of an egomaniac about it.

Nah he wasn't talking about pan-africanism, I actually said he should say that instead it would make more sense, I think he meant power of blackness as in rooted in the black panthers

smh watch this thread turn into Garvey vs Dubois, especially after that last comment about everyone needing to follow america

true, I personally believe in reincarnation and genetic memory so I understand that

But if thats the case - then every Frenchmen & Englishmen and German should be scared to walk the streets of Africa from fear of getting beat to death.... but Europeans be in Africa doing business and having a great time and smashing women

in a majority black country why would the categorizer be black? that doesn't make sense plus many african nations are made up many former ethno states it makes sense that main categories would be by ethnicity not race.

because we're living in a post-colonial society where the system is divided by race ... everyone sees blackness because individual black ethnic groups have no power and nobody respects it... thats like being the CEO of a lemonade stand... that shyt doesnt hold weight in the global arena.... all they see is a black man.

We can still represent our ethnic groups & still fly under the global banner of blackness

I'm Haitian.... there were countless West African groups enslaved on the Island.... many of them were probably enemies but they came together as one unit to defeat the French ....we had nikkas coming in from Jamaica and Grenada fighting in the war... it was basically the whole Caribbean against the French.

after independence, all the Afrikan generals in Haiti went around supplying guns to South American revolutionary leaders trying to get free from slavery and helped Venezeula get free - because of blackness. The Haitian government wrote letters to America trying to buy freedom of slaves because of blackness (of course they rejected). The Haitian government wrote laws into the books saying if a black man escaped slavery and landed in Haiti - he would be granted land and freedom - because of blackness

We've moved away from that mentality since the Catholic Church arrived and the mulattos started backstabbing and we been losing ever since.... because the strategy of Individual black ethnic groups trying to be successful without forming partnerships with other black ethnic groups is stupid and will not work.

We dont have to abandon our religions or identities, but we must work together because the whole world sees us as one people

we are one people.... I'm a black man before anything else.... not a christian, not an entrepreneur, not a haitian, not a caribbean man, I'm a black man from West Africa and we all share the same common enemies.

The same french government that enslaved my people and robbed the resources is the same french government that went to West Africa assassinating African presidents and robbing the resources.... we all have the same group of global enemies.

What you are talking about is Pan-Africanism, which may or may not work. I am in support of it (Even though Quaddafi used it as a trojan horse when he failed using pan-arabism in north africa)

again the way society is setup and works differs from who the majority is and how they dictate the environment , again the system being divided by race is because you live in a white dominated nation the rules changes when the those in control or the strong majority are of something else.

In india there are people darker than the both of us, does that automatically qualify them to be able to use black as a placeholder or juxtapose themselves to us? Again at this point you are better off ditching the word black and going off using Afrikan as Garvey went and did on (seeing as there's actually a lot of carribean indians too), it makes a lot more sense.
