Wash your eyes with soap and water my friend, the African continent is predominantly occupied and inhabited by the black race.. Any white person(s) you find here is not without motive.

There are blacks in America as there are blacks almost all-over the world by virtue of ancient slave trade and other external factors. IMO, they were put there and only belong there by providence.

And man, are Arabs white? What??

Cure yourself of ignorance

First of all, only Africa and some parts of Asia are indigenous to black people. Everywhere else they went is as result of slave trade or immigration, but it doesn't stop them from being called "black Americans" or black Brazilian and so on

The whites in southern Africa referred to as white Africans have being there long before slave trade became a thing in the coast of Western and central Africa, So they have a right to be called "white Africans" going by your analogy. In fact, some white population in Africa had wars with British and other colonial masters to gain independence i.e. Ever heard of the Anglo Boer war in south Africa

A quick internet search will have cured your ignorance

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Africans_of_European_ancestry


I never said Arabs are white, that is a result of poor comprehension. I only highlighted another variety of people in Africa apart from blacks, or are they blacks?

Even my 2-year old son knows that there are white people who live in South Africa, they believe they are Africans and speak Afrikaans and also still enjoy white privileges to this day!

If you were even as exposed as you claim, u'll have listened to South African Trevor Noah talk about this multiple times in his comedy shows and as a TV host in America.

You keep quoting Wikipedia, as inaccurate as it is, did you even read up to the end or did you just pick the lines that are mocking you in the face now.

I won't go down this lane with you because u're too hard to teach fam.

Afrikaans is an ethnic group of mainly Dutch and other European descendant in southern Africa. They speak a unique language and also claim to have unique culture similar to Dutch culture.

Although mainly indigenous to south Africa, they have migrated to South west Africa (Namibia), Rhodesia(Zimbabwe), Kenya, Botswana among other African countries

The first Europeans to reach the Cape of Good Hope were Portuguese, arriving in 1488. However, permanent white settlement did not begin until 1652, when the Dutch East India Company established a provisioning station on the Cape. In subsequent decades, French Huguenot refugees, the Dutch, and Germans began to settle in the Cape. Thus, The Whites are primarily descendants of Dutch, French, English, and German settlers who arrived at the Cape in the late 17th. They are called Afrikaners and speak Afrikaans, a language closely related to the Dutch language.

You can see why they are of european ethnicity and not african ethnicity

They are no longer Europeans because many of them can no longer trace their roots back to Europe.

Secondly, they have a unique language and customs, which is hybrid of European and African cultures.

Afrikaans are predominantly dutch, the British and other Europeans who arrived Southafrica later maintained a very different identity.

Finally, Afrikaans is recognized by the South African constitution as an ethnic group.

Bro we can argue over this throughout today. I take particular interest to diversity studies and get very interested when it relates to Africa.

South african whites are African I agree. Why did they call themselfs european all this time? Remember the signs all over the country reserving entrances to parks to europeans?[meaning white south africans].

Blacks were arrested by the white government for insisting that white south africans are african like every south african. But today the whites are insisting that they are african. Why did they not accept it and help remove the "europeans only' signs that were all over the country? Even today there a still some private schools that refuse entry to black africans and allow only white africans[europeans].

Southafrica whites never called themselves Europeans, maybe during the height of Aparthied government, they used that to mark social sitting arrangements, but you should know the white South Africans fought the British for their independence on two occasions. They never had any intention to leave Africa

The famous robin island that became the prison for Mandela and his fellow strugglers was once used to imprison Afrikaans in the Anglo Boer war, by the British


The Afrikaans have villages and towns like any other South African ethnic group. The south African government recognize it as an ethnic group.

Re: Do Black Africans Get Angry When You Call Them Niggas? by linearity: 12:39pm On Feb 27, 2018
The offensive word is ‘Nigger’ and not ‘Nigga’.

African Americans came up with Nigga, which they use to address each other and sometimes interchange it with ‘homie’, ‘bro’, ‘sista’.

Nigger is a derogatory word, not just to blacks who have some affiliation with Africa, but to blacks everywhere irrespective of country.

The word is usually offensive when it comes from a individual who is white, since that was the historical context. African American grow up with this derogatory word, the meaning and usage was pass down to them and they are quick to react negatively towards a non black person using the N word on them. The Whites in power coined out that derogatory word for the people they oppressed and their slaves. The word is loaded, people with the knowledge, when they hear it coming from someone more high is social status compare to them, see it as the person telling them; you are beneath me, am your emperor, am your God, am your master, you are nothing, you are worthless, you are dirt, you are a slave, you should be worshipping me now, I can do anything to you now and nothing will happen, etc.

For blacks, who are not African Americans; the degree of offense is proportional to the understanding and knowledge of what the word means and it’s historical context.

For example, if I say ‘You are a Miasma‘...most people will have no reaction to it, because they don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘Miasma’....moreso, the word sound nice and welcoming, and they will be shocked why a section of the society will be mad at been called miasma, until they researched the true meaning of the word and realize that, they are been called Noxious, bad influence, poisonous, dangerous, foreboding.....same with the word Nigger to blacks irrespective of country or continent of origin.

wink As a Fellow Ukwu Connoisseur I very much appreciate our mature arguments bro cool

Most White South Africans trace their "African" ancestry back to at least the 18th century. I guess that makes them an 8th or 9th generation (South) African. I believe that gives them just as much right to the country as any Zulu or Xhosa.

In my studies and dealings with some white south africans, whether English or Afrikaans,I noticed most of them identify with the label "African" to the same extent that they identify with and cherish the "New South Africa" - i.e. the post Apartheid ANC-led South Africa. Where white people feel negative about the new South Africa they are less likely to call themselves African. Those that believe in the liberation of SA are far more likely to label themselves African. So it cuts both ways.

So I agree, lets call them WHITE AFRICANS wink

ok my comrade in ukwu villa cool

I have been lucky enough to be lectured by an Afrikaans non racist lecturer in my university days, I have also met a few racist ones that narrated their tale to me. So while I may not be an expert, I know quite a lot about them.

I believe many of the white South Africans don't want to associated with blacks in the Apartheid years to the extent of even working out a way to sperate the country into different countries i.e. trasvaal and co. Yet, they never really had any problems being called Africans.

Anyways, that is history now as their government now recognize them as an ethnic group in Southafrica.

You are right, most ethnic group apart from Kioshan or koi koi migrated to Southafrica at different times. The Zulu, Xhosa, sotho , Swati and Tswane among other ethnic group were the southeast bantu migrants from Congo basin with Tivs as their distant cousins in Nigeria

Anyway, the Afrikaans ethnic group are white Africans
