IS THAT REALLY YOU!? Srsly??
We don't need to abandon our history to embrace race. Sorry. Irish people are still irish. French are French. Germans are German. Dutch... So on and so forth.Africans need to see themselves as black before anything else. Not Ethiopian,Nigerian,Hutu or Tutsis, etc.
When they slaughter each other like this, it’s because they see each other’s differences instead of the greatest thing that makes them exactly the same.
I love all my people from the diaspora and I want us all to unite under the great umbrella of our blackness
Using Common sense while speaking to thecoli #FBAgang? GoodluckWe don't need to abandon our history to embrace race. Sorry. Irish people are still irish. French are French. Germans are German. Dutch... So on and so forth.
Europeans also have border conflicts. Ukraine, Armenia and such centred around the ethnicity and regional power. They just don't get blasted as tribalistic war.
Nobody tells them to abandon their history neither. Why should we throw language and culture away because the world doesn't understand us? Like we did something wrong by being more diverse than the rest of the world.
The only relevant post in here.- Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a nasty war for years, finally got some leaders who decided to squash it, and one of them got a Nobel Peace Prize.
- Ethiopia decided to build a dam on their branch of the Nile, infuriating Sudan and Egypt downstream who feel entitled to the water for their own uses...even though they're downstream. Egypt in particular swore there would be problems - read, intel operations to destabilize the country - if the project continued.
- Ethiopia's current leader defeated the previous regime(largely made up of Tigray people) to be come leader; that previous regime had been in place during the wars with Eritrea.
- As the previous regime, the Tigray people in question had friendly relations with Egypt and other Arab nations, and they still have access to arms from those sources.
- The dam in Ethiopia gets finished, and like clockwork there's a Tigray attack that pops off that's meant to destabilize the current leader and his government.
- Current leader teams up with Eritrean leader(keep in mind the Eritreans remember the war and who drove it for all those years) and go in to teach the Tigray a thing or three. Atrocities reportedly follow, fingers get pointed, the usual. It also doesn't help that the Tigray home area is in a part of Ethiopia that shares a border with Eritrea.
All because Ethiopia dares to want to better itself, husband a natural resource and learn to feed itself...and a past regime is being gassed up to take power back.
The kingdom of axum was the first Christian Nation in the world. In Africa. White man created christianity?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.
The culture and history shouldn’t be abandoned I would never say that. It like how black folks from NY have a unique culture compared to the south or the west coast, but at the end of the day, they’re black before where they’re fromWe don't need to abandon our history to embrace race. Sorry. Irish people are still irish. French are French. Germans are German. Dutch... So on and so forth.

And what’s wrong with that.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
@2Quik4UHoes please educate the masses. If you rely on Western media they will demonize Africa leaders who are trying to fight for their people. The same white media that lies about black Americans is somehow the litmus of truth for the black continent. Hmmpf
