Culture / Re: Black African Nobility Of Ancient Europe by jantavanta(m): 3:14pm On Jan 31, 2023
Since the Americas at one point in time became an extension of Europe, we can also talk about The Black Founding Fathers of the Americas. as well as the
Black Founding First Ladies

Different biographers have described the following people as dark complexioned:

Christopher Columbus

George Washington & Wife & adopted children

Abraham Lincoln

Robert E. Lee (Southern Confederate General)

Jefferson F. Davies & Wife & children


many others.

When will you people understand that when white people talk about tall and dark complexioned in that context, they are talking about white people with swarthy skin. People like this:

That is what I used to understand. But I found out that the context of swarthy has changed over the last two hundred years to create a denial of Black People in certain histories. Same with olive complexioned. Olives are black or green. Therefore if not green-complexioned......

Colonel Washington was specifically of French Huegenot ancestry (those who fled France during the Protestant vs Catholic wars of religion). There were Black French People (not slaves from Africa) who fled to the Americas.

Even the founding fathers of the USA were Black People. Let me introduce Colonel George Washington, described as tall and dark complexioned.

His description is different from the images supposedly of him.

He knows what he is saying. There is no need to go outside Nigeria for pilgrimage. Nigeria is the New Holy Land.

President Macron of France visited Afrika Shrine, Angela Merkel of Germany visited, Israeli President and Prime Minister want to visit Nigeria, our PMB was invited to Mecca.

More Presidents are coming to Nigeria to make friends in advance. Those who do not have the eye to see, will be perplexed.

This is the kind of Slay Queen we need. One that slays neo-colonial mental slavery.

Japanese, Koreans and Chinese have their traditional spiritualities intact. We admire their development, but nobody says that Japanese, Koreans and Chinese are going to hell fire.

Why is it only Africans that are threatened with Hell Fire for embracing their ancestral spiritualities?

Why is it only Africans that are threatened with the label: "Pagan"

mamagee3:

They are nigerians.

Many Nigerian men who immigrate into USA have experienced culture shock from many Black Americans that words cannot describe.That is the same way they would treat a Nigerian man for being with a Black American woman.

Even speaking good about a Black American will arouse suspicion.

Here is my own explanation; there will be other explanations:

In the 70s and 80s, we watched sitcoms like Good Times, The Jeffersons, Different Strokes, Bill Cosby Show and we emigrated to USA expecting to meet every Black American like those we saw on the sitcoms. But instead, we came face to face with the hidden side of that society.

I communicate with African-Centered Black Americans, but I can to some extent understand the historical and psychological forces at play in a society whose society was founded on a mix of racism and chattel slavery, complicated by what I am now hearing about the past existence of Black Slaveowners.

I have been accused of making up excuses for 'akatas'.

Education / Re: Is Studying Engineering In Nigeria A Scam? by jantavanta(m): 10:53am On Apr 14, 2019
Going elsewhere to study and return has not proven to be the solution. Many people return to be useless. The older generation lecturers where sent to choice institutions of learning abroad, but that did not solve the problem.

An engineering curriculum that teaches Africans that everything discovered (or discoverable) was by one white man or the other has a negative psychological effect on our ability to develop.

There is no civil engineering text book that teaches that it was Africans that built the pyramids of Egypt.

How can Pythagoras, who travelled from Greece to Africa to further his education turn out to be the discoverer of a theorem of a triangle, when the biggest known triangles where the basis of the Pyramids of Egypt, thousands of years before he came there to study?

The name "Chemistry" is derived from "Chem" or "Kermit" another ancient name for Africa. Why do all our chemistry text books, from Physical Chemistry to Organic Chemistry, teach that all discoveries where from white people?

algebra is from Al-jabr
alkaline is from Alkali (don't you have a friend called Alkali?)

It was Africans, called Moors (not Arabs)who crossed into Europe through Spain in AD 711 and established the first European universities. Fine, their language was Arabic and their religion had become Muslim. But the knowledge was African and not Arab.

Before we go abroad to study we should find out more about who we really are, so that we do not advance in self-rejection.

For over 2,000 years we have been transferring science & technology from Africa to Europe. No text book will tell us, because our schools are for the purpose of economic colonialism. If you are locally educated to produce Iron and steel and design cars, how will expatriates (or colonial master returnees) have the opportunity to come and pack your dollars?

Nigeria's Ajaokuta Steel Plant can produce the best Steel from our "sweet" Iron Ore in Itakpe, that is why it was masterminded not to be completed so that it does not disturb the "world market".

These are some key challenges facing the Nigerian engineering graduate.

Knowledge of Self is the starting point.

Viking Origin of the Name "Blackman"

The Blackman function exists in the fields of statistics/mathematics/signal processing.

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BlackmanFunction.html

But looking through a Google search result of Blackman, one may not find any Black Man bearing the name Blackman.
Upon further examination of the Wikepedia search result, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackman
there is a list of over 40 names known to have that surname.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Blackman, Originally Blæcmann[/i], is an Old English name meaning [i]"dark man". The name was once given to Danish Vikings who settled in southern Scotland. It is also listed in the genealogy of the kings of Bernicia. Early on, it was commonly used as a first name. Variations: Blackmann, Blachman, Blackmun, Blackmon, Blakeman. Depending on how the old Anglo-Saxon blaec or blac were translated, ...........

In an attempt to disclaim the obvious implication of the Danish Viking settlers of southern Scotland being Black men, the article further states that:

" the surname could also have had the exact opposite meaning from the above. "Blaec" meant dark/swarthy while "blac" meant fair/pale. The spelling of both words and their meanings were often confused and, over time, became interchangeable. "

In earlier posts, it had been discussed that the Vikings were Black people. Reading further from The African Heritage of the Vikings and an African Prehistoric Europe Part 2 by our distinguished researcher Marc Washington

http://www.beforebc.de/Related.Subjects/Ships.Sea-faring/92-10-825.html

R0a DNA evidence shows indigenous African population replaced only centuries ago by modern Danes: click

we see that the archaeological features such as filed teeth, boats, writing scripts are very African in origin and appearance.

I think when you have too many posts per interval, it activates the spambot.

Try combining your replies/posts/updates into one post per day. Then try one post every 12hrs, followed by one post every 8hrs, then every 6hrs....until you arrive at the shortest possible interval that will not activate the spambot that is hiding your updates.

This skin tone probably comes from their Aboriginal Australian ancestors , we Africans know that we have nothing to do with the American continent. Black Americans are the biggest hypocrites they complain about cultural appropriation yet they try to steal the Native American identity , not just the culture , the entire identity. Disgusting slaves.

There is nothing wrong in the indigenous Australian contribution to the population of Southern America or to the population of Japan.

There is no disconnecting Africa from the founding population of any continent.

It is still Africa populating the entire World, via land and sea, #WhenTheWorldWasBlack.

Yes you may intrude.
I appreciate you asking a question about something that is puzzling you.
I use the word "brother" a lot here on N.L. cause it's a "term of endearment" that is used in the Black American community. The word "sister" is used also.
Unfortunately, I haven't chatted with a lot of females on here...but I have used the word a few times when referring to them.
I love your diagnosis of me having an "identity crisis" of sorts...lol. i guess you could say that.


@Mobilia, I have been following your conversation with @bosstrevor and @MrAkata

As you are set to discover Nigeria, be prepared for a country that is still trying to discover itself. Most of what we know is what we have been told in History books written by victorious Mr Colonizer. You may in the process discover some things which we do not know. I am always open to that. You have a Nigerian parent, so you do not have to go through the Ancient Egyptian route to discover Africa.

It gets to a stage in Life, after struggling to pass exams and getting a job, accommodation, spouse, etc. one begins to ask "Who am I in this world?". I think Sisters tend to ask that question more than Brothers, as observed by @MrAkata. Perhaps it is a division of labour among genders.

@MrAkata in interested in business. No problem. Every possible link is useful in doing business, be it academic, cultural, recreational. There is something called business culture, which varies from place to place. Some places, it is to meet in a restaurant. In some places, it is to know each other's house. So, how do we eliminate culture in trying to do business? Sometimes, the mere mention of a favourite English Premier league football club could even foster a business relationship. We all human.


@morpheus24 and @bosstrevor seem having the age-old Lagos Islander versus Lagos Mainlander "battle for supremacy". Maybe it is similar to that of West Coast vs East Coast in USA. smiley
