You can have all the education. You can be "right" about everything. But until you organize with real people in real communities, and engage with all the complexities - you'll never fully understand our people's needs and how to effectively fulfill them.

There’s been a lot of rewriting African American history- often with the purpose of disconnecting us from the rest of the Diaspora. This attempt at complete Diasporic separation is meant to desensitize us to international struggles and fracture Black collective activism.

Plantations are considered bougie because Southern yts minimize the horrors of slavery, considering it a natural backdrop to old southern luxury and sophistication. For us plantations were crime scenes, for them plantations represent the heights of southern charm and elegance.

Can somebody explain the fascination with the word Plantation? Why is it considered bougie? Why is it used at all? Have you noticed that developers don't name things after concentration camps? For example, I've never seen a Auschwitz Estates or a Bergan-Belsen Manor. Can we stop?

Erasing Afro-Latino history also erases African American history. Some folks have been fully indoctrinated by online xenophobia based on misinformation and flawed ahistorical narratives. These rigid attempts to disconnect the Diaspora don’t work bc they are based on ignorance.

After watching Black women holding their babies be thrown off trains and left in the cold in Ukraine, I’m not in the least bit surprised. The racism was on full display and a lot of people made excuses for it, saying they were “prioritizing their citizens.” What’s the excuse now?

Just over 100,000 Ukrainians have sought refuge in the UK But not all of them have found it easy to settle into a country where the ethnic diversity and cultural values are very different from Ukraine. @DarshnaSoni reports.

The key point to remember is that African elites dictated and were often coerced into participating, regular ppl were not beneficiaries. And they were not the architects of the Transatlantic slave trade or chattel slavery, that was Europeans. Africans also fought against slavery.

“The pervasive idea that “Black people built America” and are therefore entitled to its flag, pride and positions of power can miss that much of what this country is and does is poisonous. The masses of Black people who built this country did not want to build this country.” YES!

Referring to descendants of African hostages that were uprooted, enslaved, raped, and murdered as merely an “aesthetic” and “fetishizing Africa” for returning to homelands and attempting to reconnect is harmful reductionism - even in conversations about celebrities.

i really dislike how American celebrities portray Africa as this fetishized land that serves as nothing more than an aesthetic backdrop for them in the face of their own internal conflict or whatever journey they are currently undergoing.

I’m really interested in what folks think African Americans win by erasing all traces or acknowledgement of our African Heritage. What’s exactly the prize for this?

Beloved, one light skinned person in your family doesn’t mean you’re not of African descent. All African Americans can point to at least one ancestor that look like this. Guess why? What happened to our foremothers during slavery? Your problem is internalized anti-blackness.

The British “quest to end slavery” was PR for their murderous expansion of colonialism. During this time they enslaved, detained, tortured, and murdered Africans across the continent in the late 1800s-1900s in the name of Empire. They did not end slavery, they renamed it.

Almost everywhere on Earth had slavery for thousands of years and some places still do. The drive to end slavery on a worldwide basis was spearheaded by Britain in the early 1800’s. .

Normalize Black oral history. Many of our ancestors were shut out from the systems that publish books & articles used as sources. There is knowledge & wisdom outside of those pages that our elders possess as living libraries. Respect their words. Listen to them, learn from them.

Sigh. Internalized afrophobia has ppl twisting and turning, searching for any glimmer of hope to not be of African descent. Our ancestors purchased land and it was taken away due to racism. That’s it. Regardless of how much land we owned or didn’t own, we still came from Africa.

Also, there are still descendants of enslaved Africans living on the continent. So how are the enslaved still on the continent also selling us? This history is complex but I don’t blame folks for the confusion bc we certainly were not taught most of this in schools…on purpose.

@Omalicha_Ego Maybe there is a misunderstanding. What I’m saying is referring to the comment on Nigerian spirituality as if the borders determine the existence of the ethnic groups and not acknowledging them predating the borders and the fact that descendants exist around the world.
