Say it loud!!!!!!!! Im Black and Im proud!!! Afrikan to be exact

I LOVE being AFRIKAN!!!!  Although I appreciate all other cultures and their flavor, there are no other people I would rather be. There are a LOT of purposeful lies, misconceptions, and falsehoods about my people (Afrikan people) that I’m tired of hearing.  Let me run through some of the very basics truths about Afrikans:

w  Afrikans did not “sell each other into slavery” this is/was a myth used to justify our enslavement by… guess who… the ones who enslaved us. And this fallacies is often used to discredit Afrikan morals, principles and social structure.

Oscar L. Beard said it best 

“The single most effective White propaganda assertion that continues to make it very difficult for us to reconstruct the African social systems of mutual trust broken down by U.S. Slavery is the statement, unqualified, that, "We sold each other into slavery." Most of us have accepted this statement as true at its face value. It implies that parents sold their children into slavery to Whites, husbands sold their wives, even brothers and sisters selling each other to the Whites. It continues to perpetuate a particularly sinister effluvium of Black character...”

w  Afrikans NATURALLY range from very light to very dark skin before and in spite of “cross breeding, native or white blood” . 

w  Afrikans NATURALLY have straight, wavy, curly AND kinky hair without chemicals before and in spite of “cross breeding, native or white blood”

w  Afrikans “discovered america” LONG before euros, and lived among the natives teaching them to build pyramids, exchanging goods with them and procreating with them for centuries

w  We are the descendants of civilizations builder who were ENSLAVED not of slaves. Afrikans were STOLEN from Afrika by EUROS for free forced labor which built the capitalist system we are still enslaved by today.  The same system that:

o       Closes schools and opens prisons

                  o      Uses free prison labor in for profit businesses
                  o       Puts additive chemicals in food
                  o       Promotes using drugs (medicine) instead of living healthy
                  o       Works for the few in power instead of the masses
                  o       Uses trained military forces against unarmed citizens for profit and resources
                  o       Makes everyone have to work for someone elses benefit to provide basic rights for                         themselves and family. (This is NOT natural or normal)

w  We freed ourselves (from chattel slavery)!! Without the fighting of our soldiers, resistances, revolters and abolitionist. We would not be free

w  “Black on black crime” as it is presented is a myth and distraction. Afrikans in America and around the world die at the hands of euros 100X more often than by the hands of other people of color.  White on black crime has been and remains the highest crime related causes of the death of Africans since the holocaust on Afrikan life began (Trans Atlantic Massacre).

w  “The america dream” only includes Afrikans and other “minorities” in subservient roles.  Those who invaded this land, stole its resources and imprisoned those how occupied these land were not seeking to include them (us) in on their “american Dream”.  That dream is drenched in the deprivation and domination of “minorities”.  Therefore us (Afirkans and other people of color) being in collectively poverty IS “The american dream” DON’T GET IT TWISTED.

w  Our doing well in a society that we were formerly enslaved in is a miracle, each and every time it happens.  It shows how strong we truly are. We must remember that this system is built for the rich by the rich!

w  Afrikans get along well with one another; we have trustworthy businesses, are dependable and are less like to “screw you over” than other people. 

w  “Crabs in a barrel” act that way because THEY ARE IN A FUCKING BARRELL about to be boiled ripped apart, and eating.  They act unnaturally because they are in an unnatural setting.  The issue is them being in a barrel and those who put them in the barrel. Metaphorically speaking of course.

w  We like to dance!!!  And we move our hips when we dance, not because it’s “sexual or dirty dancing” but how the body naturally moves. If a person doesn’t like to dance, doesn’t move their hips while dancing or isn’t moved by music they are more than likely not Afrikan (how well they dance is a separate issue)

w  “Soul food” wasn’t about the food being unhealthy or indulging in it.  Because of the injustices, atrocities and horrible living conditions we were subjected to we often only had the scraps and leftovers like chitterlings, snouts, pig feet, etc.  It wasn’t by choice it was by necessity. However those preparing the food put their time, love, energy, passion and “soul” into the food.  Any food that is made in this manner is “soul food”

w  Our culture is valid, consistent and a natural expression of our unique manifestations.  Everywhere you go around the world and find Afrikans you will see the similarities in our cultures.  You will find love, laughter, music, food, spirit and people genuinely supporting and accepting each other.  We have an optimistic way of looking at life and allow for people and things to exist freely. We live in harmony with nature only taking that which we need.  (Understand that colonization has impacted how that manifests in present day)

w  We do not exist to serve a system or to make money! We exist to elevate the state of human life and ultimately the entire universe.  We are the protectors and defenders of humanity.  This why capitalism and its systems were created and perpetuated to keep us oppressed, distracted and disenfranchised.  With us subjugated these systems can prosper. A free person free will not work for the PROFIT of others.

w  Our spiritual systems and sciences are the foundation of ALL major religions.  We understood how The Universe works and our role in it, so we assigned imagery to explain different aspects of those workings.

w  I love Afrikans.   I see our amazing beauty and intelligence.  We are AWEsome and created everything of benefit…In case you didn’t know.  (Yeah I said it)

w  We are the original humans (homo sapien which means “wise man”.  There existed Homo Sapiens, Cro-magnon, Neanderthal and Denisovans (cave men) simultaneously.  Though they all were “Erictus” their “evolution” varied.  We… Afrikans… humans…. Were the most evolved and had high civilizations, science, technology, centuries before any other humanoid group.

w  Natural resources are not limited.  They are being hoarded, exploited, restricted and seized in order to keep capitalism rolling.  (I had to say this!) Afrikan are a natural resource too

w  We are rising again and as we rise we improve all things round us.
