Justlie, African is an African. Drugila, you're white; so there's no point in STRIVING to be an African.

An African does not strive to be an African. Humans don't strive to be what they already are. The only reasong you strive to be something is a recognition of the fact that you're not!


Sweetie we are all one RACE. African is a NATIONALITY. Okay?

This post doesn't make any sense. You are correct that all the people on the planet are one RACE. That is the Human Race. Race is a social construct created by European Scientist which placed African people at the bottom and called them Black.

African is not a NATIONALITY! Africa is a continent. Nigerian is a NATIONALITY because it is an NATION-STATE. A US citizen is called an American and that is there NATIONALITY.

If you descend from the enslaved Africans brought to the Western Hemisphere (North America, South America, and Carribean) then you are African. You are not Nigerian, Ghanaian, Senegalese, etc because those are NATION-STATES.

If you claim that you are Black under the social construct of RACE then you are claiming that you are African. You cannot be Black and not African. That is where Black people come from. African people traveled to other places in history and you see reminders of that in many places around the world but they came from Africa.

The origin of the word Slav remains controversial. Excluding the ambiguous mention by Ptolemy of tribes Stavanoi and Soubenoi, the earliest references of "Slavs" under this name are from the 6th century. The word is written variously as Sklabenoi, Sklauenoi, or Sklabinoi in Byzantine Greek, and as Sclaueni, Sclauini, or Sthlaueni in Latin. The oldest documents written in Old Church Slavonic and dating from the 9th century attest slověne to describe the Slavs around Thessalonica. Other early attestations include Old Russian slověně "an East Slavic group near Novgorod", Slovutich "Dnieper river", and Serbo-Croatian Slavonica, a river.

There are two alternative scholarly theories as to the origin of the Slavs ethnonym, both very tentative: according to the first theory[1], it derives from a hypothetically reconstructed Proto-Indo-European *(s)lawos, cognate to Greek laós "population, people", which itself has no commonly accepted etymology. The second theory (forwarded by e.g. Max Vasmer) suggests that the word originated as a river name (compare the etymology of the Volcae), comparing it with such cognates as Latin cluere "to cleanse, purge", a root not known to have been continued in Slavic, however, and it appears in other languages with similar meanings (cf. Greek klyzein "to wash", Old English hlūtor "clean, pure", Old Norse hlér "sea", Welsh clir "clear, clean", Lithuanian šlúoti "to sweep").

Scholars such as Roman Jacobson and others link the name either with the word sláva "glory", "fame" or slovo "word, talk" (both akin to OSl slusati "to hear" from the IE root *kleu-). Thus slověne would mean "people who speak (the same language)", i.e. people who understand each other, as opposed to the Slavic word for foreign

The reason why people are going to those countries because their government has used their country for tourism like for such AAs who want to trace their ancestors. Their government are only doing so to gain money from your pockets. If nigeria was doing such a thing, then yes, u AAs would want to go there.

 tbh who wants to go to Tanzania, but thats a different story.

@ post, so Drsuilla has answered all the questions from the other thread, a year ago i may add, why was there a new thread started??? hmm,
