eziza: These negroes are simply lost souls because were never slaves and this a actually a slap in the face of their ancestors who fought hard to free them from slavery.

They were cleansing the stigma of slavery.....not the experience of slavery.

Some say what your ancestors went through or did pass on generations.

Mrs.Chima:


They were bamboozled and hoodwinked. grin
yeah by themselves. There will never truly be a way to cleanse oneself of their history. Quite frankly my anger about slavery is how our ancestors had to suffer at the hands of their own kind along with outsiders and esp. the way in which they did however I know if it were not for them, I would not be here. So the best I could do is honor their memory and respect THEM as my forefathers. everything else is unnecessary. I will not buy a plane ticket trying to pretend that as a "black woman", I belong to any tribe when I dont.

It's nonsensical. Big ups to the jamos and AAs in ghana, ethiopia, south africa etc etv who decided to live in africa as citizens without deluding themselves and pretrending to be african.

I remember when I used to be miss super afrocentric and probably would have done something like this..."reafricanize myself" loooool! but things have changed and these eyes are well open now.

It is truly a soul searching journey.Until all away africans around world realized that africa is their rightful place,they will never get the true message of what the game is all about.They try to make them totally obliterate not too recent history in their memories,to make them feel like lost sheep,even when zion is in full view.

No you did.
Re: Black Americans Undergo Cleansing From ‘slavery Stigma’ In Igboland by eziza: 9:15pm On Sep 01, 2013
Mrs.Chima:


No you did.

Nigga became part of the black African vocab and identity thanks to BA who perpetuated the name.

I'd say it came in 80's thanks to the American mass media when hip hop and gangster movies became popular. Until then black Africans never addressed themselves as niggas and it was never part of their vocab and identity.

So like I said, you negroes in the US should stop calling yourselves niggas. That is a true stigma of slavery.

Something about this seems highly condescending, though I can't put my finger on what it is exactly.

PhysicsQED: Something about this seems highly condescending, though I can't put my finger on what it is exactly.
Yeah.
For me, I think it's the fact that somebody thought they required 'cleansing'.
Who thought it necessary for them to be cleansed?
Was it they, themselves or the Priest who carried out the cleansing? Who?
From what exactly? From their slave status to free-borns?

This brings the question of the Osu and Ohu to mind.
Since there is need to 'cleanse', how about they start with the Osus and the Ohus?
This is one angle of the Igbo society that annoys me!

Those things don't exist or have lost relevance in today's society. In the past there existed cleansing done in Nri for the Osu. Most Igbo slaves were victims of Religious deceit and not necessarily captives. It is no different from todays Church slavery. Igbos especially the Isuama Igbos fall easy prey to religion.
