Mamaput,

Think about this. Many slaves were kidnapped not in a group but just as one person captured.

Your great great grandfather may not be the one who sold my great great grandmother into slavery but in fact your great great grandfather may have been the one who grieved as he found out that his wife had been taken by the kidnappers.

There are two types of Continental Africans who exist now.

1. Those who descended from enslavers.
2. Those who had their relatives, friends and other tribal members stolen from them and shipped away.

And if historical documents are correct, most of the enslavers, in fact did not remain in Africa but in fact went and lived out lives in the European Countries that they worked for.

So some of the Blacks you see in the West, in fact could be the enslavers, as much as any Continental African.

The African Americans, or "blacks" as they're called, are descendants of Africa, so it's okay that they're called African Americans, but that's for those among them who are actually African American.  unfortunately, miscegenation and diaspora have made it even harder to decipher this situation.

The next big thing happenning is that people no longer want to say the "American" part and just be African.

I love being African American.

I could not bear the idea of African Americans returning to Africa and leaving our anscestors bones in this ground.

So until I can find a solution to that problem. I have to be African American and protect my anscestors graves here.

Kobe,

I don't have goals of being Black/African. I just am.

Your fooling no one, as Bob Marley --with his white father and black mother would say.


Well, African blood certainly runs in you. It is running desparately from it's Blackself.

LOL

Star,

Yes it is true. The whiteman is descended from African Albino's.

I made a whole thread about it.

In the west every person who has been stained with the blood of the savages must be marked by being called by the savages name. African.

Thus Europeans know not to be fooled by their white looks, they know within them lurks the DNA of savages.

That is why the one drop law was invented.

Why then are you this desperate to bear the name of the savages?. . .

We're savages, let us savage, look for a more soothing name for you.

You're what your country men refer to as African American get it right.

I could easily use that statement against you by saying that "Well, White blood certainly runs in you. It is running desperately away from its white self."

so listen troll. I'll attempt to break this down for you in a lay man's term.
I've told you severally that a racist girl like yourself should not attempt to tell me who I am.
Embrace the other half of your self, then come back and say hello to me.

Wasn't this very same topic made several times already in Nairaland?



This Akata shyt is so stupid and played out. I don't care what ignorant Nigerians call me. If it makes them happy and it makes them feel like they are more so elevated than I am as an African American, that they have to make up a name for me, let them have that for their self.



Believe you me, I truly do understand how it is to come from a poor place and your brothers and sisters live in a much better place than you, yet they have been so called mixed, something you can use against them to make you feel superior over them. An ignorant Nigerian would like to feel proud about something by  considering his or her self as purer, something that doesn't matter when it is time to putting food on the table. The ignorant Nigerian is poor and wants desperately to be in the same position as I the so called akata. It's nothing but jealousy and envy.

Hey Ignorant Nigerian, don't worry your self to death, you won't get to America any faster by putting African Americans down with your made up pet name. Even when you do finally make it to America legally or illegally, you still don't have to put African Americans down to keep whitey proud of you. The thing about America is this, once you get here and start working or going to school, no one is paying attention to the pet names you make up about your own people because the one whitey already gave us is the only one that matters here in America. The only thing white Americans pay attention to when you get here is your work performance and how you kiss their azz. They don't care about what you think about your own people.


No matter how much white azz you kiss, white people will see you Nigerians as the same as African Americans accept they will probably feel more sorry for you.

"Whitey's" refers to Black People, who denounce their own Black Skin.

Whites are just called "ghosts" (the walking dead?).

Smile. LOL

No, it's the photo of a little black girl in India.
