Some of them thought in the terms of slavery or servant in African terms but others knew exactly what would befall these people because the cruelty was seen right there at the sea shore prior to millions being placed upon ships bound for the other side of the world. More importantly, we see this sellout behavior today, mainly in some West African areas. This is very troubling and must be exposed.
...and you believed all that you were told? There's a great empire today called the USA and it kills thousands because it calls them "terrorists". Do you see the similarities? Despots often find justification, often imagined, for the crimes they commit.
African history past and current? It is always good to know more about a thing. I know much about African history of various regions, including Nigeria. Nigeria, at times, has been a force against colonialism and at other times large segments have been partners in colonialism and slavery. I'm sure you know this or you should.
Your comments continue to show me how much you don't know about me or what I do or don't know. An older and wiser person would understand exactly what I have said and why I have said it. I am very much aware of leaders in some, not all of the African countries who bend to the will of the Europeans or US. This didn't just happen with the some of the current leaders but also among some of the old past leaders. Jonathan is the president and people voted for him.
Hmmmm..... you are quick in coming to this decision that I should "go to hell". I suggest you study me a bit more. "White racist mentality"? You seem to be a bit remiss in understanding. In the US, the most educated of all immigrant groups are Africans. I present the facts and sometimes they will embrace you and sometimes they will compel you to say what you just said, i.e., "go to hell". However, it's all good because you will think further.
"African leaders" have been condemned perpetually, however, there is no head without a body. There's a problem with a significant number of people when they tolerate sellouts perpetually. Obama attempts to pull his nonsense and we're going to send him packing next year. I suggest the African people do the same for those leaders who betray as some have done in the past.
@Nayelle1290 PT4:The White elites are a very small minority (less them 1 percent)but they control over 90 percent of this world.Cause they used military aggression,Trickery,Bribery threats and other means in order to gain control.And its the same tactics they used to enslave Africans and take control of a large portion of Africa.It was`nt just africans selling their own kind,it goes deeper then that.If you don`t learn all the tricks they used, people are vulnerable to falling for them again.
@Nayelle1290 PT3 I`m assuming?I read books by Diop and Farrakhan i also read a book by Chancelor Williams and others.It seems like you don`t want to learn something new.Queen Nzingha of Angola and her Tribe Fought The euros,The Zulu`s Fought The Euros,The asante later fought the Euros.Some of the Jaga people fought,Tribes in Benin ,Kongo ruler Nzinga Mbemba of the Kongo,Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita ,Futa Toro,King Ansah of Ghana,King Agadja,Dahomean monarch and many others fought the Euros.
@Nayelle1290 PT2:You say logistically my argument makes no sense There is absolutely NO WAY that this mass genocide could have occurred without the MASS COMPLICITY of Africans?First off i never said Africans was`nt complicit,secondly like i said before Euros used a-lot of trickery also.We have to mention those things to so we can learn from it.Simply telling people "Africans sold their own kind to euros"with out getting into specifics would keep us from learning important lessons.
@Nayelle1290 PT1 I started out respectfully until you started putting words in my mouth,That`s where i drew the line.And again you idiot i never said Africans were not complicit in the enslavement of Africans.How many times do i have to tell that to you till it registers in your malfunctioning Brain?I simply went in depth cause some people don`t know the full story.I have to go in depth cause if i don`t,blacks are gonna fall for the same tricks whites play on them over and over and over again.
@Nayelle1290 PT5:Most African tribes did not engage in selling other Africans and resisted the Europeans which is something rarely ever talked even by brainwashed Negros who write books about the subject.Many of these books written by blacks use only white sources and many of those white sources whitewash history.And Many Negros who talk about African Slavery often get their info from bias white writers and brainwashed black writers who get their info from Bias white sources.
@Nayelle1290 PT4 You say i denied the Asante role in slavery?I`m the one that said that Ghana offered land as payback for their role in slavery,i also said Benin and the African union apologized for their role in slavery.The Asante was in the southern part of Ghana stupid.Which means i acknowledged not only the Asante role in slavery but other tribes that were involved in slavery.You just take a few words i say and run with it like a chicken with his head cut off and ignore my other comments.
@Nayelle1290 PT1:Why is it that when i tell people a more in-depth story of slavery i`m accused of denying Africans played a role?I never denied Africans played a role,i just refuse to tell the white-washed Euro version of what happen unlike some blacks.When i said little to no Africans sold their own kind i mean`t that most did`nt sell people from their tribe.They sold people of their race so in a sense it is their own kind but many Africans tribes did not look at all Africans as one.
@Nayelle1290 PT3 were the Africans were afraid the Euros would take them as slaves cause the Euros had superior fire power so they would sale other Africans,mostly from other tribes but sometimes from their tribe so they themselves would`nt be taken as slaves.Some African Chiefs would sale their criminals off to get their hands on guns cause they knew the Euros would try to conquer their tribe and these Africans knew that their spears and shields was no match against Guns and cannons.
@Nayelle1290 PT2: Africans selling their own kind to a certain degree is something that was imposed on them.some Africans chiefs were tricked into selling their own kind, by the Europeans some examples is the Portuguese coming in the name of god and claiming that they were gonna make African tribes better.and also you have a-lot of cases where the Euros would create division between the tribes to get them to fight each-other so they would sell each-other into slavery.You even had alot of cases
@Nayelle1290 I read about this lady named Shukura Sentwali from Kansas who moved to the land in Ghana that was offered.And i never said pure Africans did`nt enslave Africans.And little to no Africans sold their own kind to the Euros,They would sell Africans from other tribes that were usually Criminals or prisoners of War.If A king engaged in selling their own kind,He would be overthrown by his people.Africans did`nt look at Africans from other tribes as brothers and sisters.
Your scope on this issue is rather limited, if u think it's just about Libya!!! If according to you, you "have power to influence decisions Obama makes," what was your input in the assassination plot of brother Ghaddafi? These theoretical cliches are sounding to the ear, but the reality is u r insignificant in the broader scope of things! Who is going to hold the West Africans accountable? U? What have u done against the rappers against hip hop culture, which is hurting blacks the most???
I expect you to fill-in the parts of the scope that is "rather limited". Your limited knowledge of me and the work that I do is irrelevant.
The rappers are no more damaging than other aspects of a society that is driven by pure monetary gain and pleasure, they are only one component of many. What hurts blacks the most is not having a good balance of understanding, knowledge and trust.
Attempts have been made to assassinate Gaddafi many times. It's trivial. Those who struggle to do good and oppose those who do evil are often a target for character assassination or physical assassination. There's nothing "theoretical" about documented history and the contemporary of groups of Africans who roll with killers, thieves, enslavers and rapists. Embrace the truth and insist upon change which embraces that truth.
@AfriSynergy U mean I should embrace ur truths and misguiding and misinformed parables? Brother, I was born in Africa, grew up in Sierra Leone, went thru the war n all. Lived in other West African countries including The Gambia. I've lived in the U.S for over 10 years. I'm sorry, but chances are, I know more about the truth than u have gathered in the reading of books; written, edited and published by the same "WHITE MAN" u r struggling against! Have u tried writting a letter to them, b4 this?
No, I do not ask you to embrace what you have not verified but when you do verify that which is truth, I would hope you would embrace that. You take what you know to be true and what you learn from others to build that which is more perfect.
I hope you are not so naive to believe all books or material read or words spoken is that of the "WHITE MAN". We struggle against more than the "white man". Never assume him to be the "original" of anything.
@AfriSynergy Instead of creating qualms amongst each other, how about we try to positively re-educate our brothers and sisters? Just as some African Americans see the sense in all this NONSENSE being thrown at them, it's the same way, some of us Africans are proud to say; "We have kept the light"!!! My brother, it's a fallacy and greatly erroneous on ur part to lump all West Africans in one pot. U refusal of common decency and accepting a mistakes, just reveals the sinister nature of U. Selah
So long as that unification does not come at the expense of accepting the ideology of Nigerian foreign minister who stated that no Nigerians are being harmed in Libya. We do not subscribe to such craziness.
This thread is to serve notice that the ways of some of the chiefs and kings of the past who collaborated with Europeans to harm other blacks is not going to be tolerated in the 21st century. If you agree with this, then we are on the same page.
Ur strategy of getting people "talking and thinking" is to marginalize a whole sector of AFRICA? Have u ever been there? U list 5 out of 16 West African states and encourage people to call Africans Ungrateful... Do u know that applies to u too? It's Uppity Uncle Tom's like u that are degenerating to our race! U don't mind throwing ur brother's under the bus for 700 views, imagine wat u will do to them for a Billion dollars! U outta b ashamed of urself!!!
You're talking which means it invoked emotions from you. As I said, thank you for your comment, and yes, I've been to West Africa. There are some "brothers" who are first warned about repeating the evils of the past and if they don't listen, then as you say, "under the bus".
Don't u think ur title is a little misguiding to say the least? How can u lump all West Africans into one class! Is it fair to conclude that all African Americans are failures because of Obama or say Flavor Flav? U've brought some really good points to light; the slaying of blacks in Libya, etc, but this is a dissapointment for u to make such colossal gaff!! Do u know how many Gambians are not in favor of H.E Jammeh?
Thank you for your comment. It wasn't a gaff but intended because this is the time for all of the people of West African states to think long and hard about what their leaders are doing. Some will say they have no power over what their leaders do but I don't accept that no more than I accept we in the US not having power to influence decisions Obama makes. Yes, African Americans are at fault for not putting pressure on Obama about Libya.
This is the kind of behavior that hurts your heart. That is what TREASON does. That is why the person who commits TREASON is punished in the WORST Way.
The information might be good, but the uploader is still a pin head for categorising us in the title Can West Africans be trusted, for decisions some governments we never put in power made. So whoever you are, watch your words when you class yourself as concious.
Thank you for your comment. Some of the leaders were elected by the people they govern. You identify yourself as "The Miss West Africa", therefore, one can assume that you are West African , perhaps living abroad. Do you think Senegal, Gabon and Nigeria, to name a few, should have supported French military action in Ivory Coast? What about Libya?
There are times when straight talk is required.......
@AfriSynergy ok, now you are pushing my buttons and being silly. Dont get me started on how stupid you are presenting yourself as conscious then categorising trust worthiness of west africans because of some neo colonial puppets. If this is the case I hope you take blame for What your president does. If you were really smart you would categorise it as west african presidents and not west africans, as if we are all sitting down here happy with their decision.
Yes, I am pushing your button. Being "silly" is your uninformed opinion. I recall an introduction using "pin head". Since you mentioned Mr. Obama, and if you really want an answer to that question, I suggest you see the video "Obama Should Hangup The Gloves" on this channel.
@AfriSynergy I don't need to see ur video, people like u think u are so smart with ur consipracy videos when the truth is every1 knows the libyan war is an illegal war, every1 knows they r not there to bring justice, every1 know the presidents that agree are neo colonial presidents, if not everyone, atleast a great amount. But you pull out ur arm chair making a few videos & thinking u r an intellectual, whilst perpetrating a divide and conquer mentality by holding all west africans responsible.
Hmmmm... you saw this video, did you not? However, you run from the answer to your question.
Where has "all West Africans" been "held responsible" in this video? You appear to be young and don't understand strategies deployed to get people talking and thinking. You would not be here had you not seen this title. That, my dear, is "intellect".
Not all know and articulate what's happening in Libya to be illegal.
@AfriSynergy You might as well put a naked womans picture if that is your objective. Stop trying to act as if you have some mysterious approach, if you were really intellectual you were also understand psychological effects and the title remains, as you indicate west african leaders in support of the war. But carry on pretending you are smarter than thao. You are a man, with a webcam and an opinion who wont accept to correct something that doesnt work. And dont assume I am young.
Again, thank you for your opinion and giving me permission to carryon with the title of this video. I am certain, based upon your words, that you are a bit naive and naivety is not limited by ones years on this earth. All the same, I would estimate you to be the age of my daughters. I find it interesting that you appear to be a bit obsessed with my "intellect".
@AfriSynergy Ha, u are so funny, once again, you are a man with a webcam & an opinion. With no concrete actions. No organised progression, just filled with the past, criticism and angst. Ur video blogs of continuous rants are messaged that have echoed year after year. You will begin to become more relevant to the struggle when you manifest into actions. When I used to be involved in certain activites in UK before moving to Ghana we had a name for people like you, Armed Chair Revolutionaries.
Hmmmm... "armed chair revolutionaries" is a term that has been around and used long before you were born. Until you have done your research, you shouldn't be so quick to draw conclusions. You should learn more about what I do. Google "AFRISYNERGY SATURDAY SCHOOL". Start there....... The foundation of "revolution" is a proper education, what I call Collective Self Interest Education.
Thanks for the video. The truth is being distinguished from the falsehood. Many Africans who had doubts before, know now that the West is fighting a war against Africa, now we know the sellout African leaders.
With that being said, I am surprised that ONLY two well knowN black people, Farrakhan and Cynthia spoke out against this war, the beginning recolonization of Africa. Not even one member of Congressional Black Caucus? Even Cornell West? I FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG!
This feeling of something being "wrong" has been or should have been present for a long time. Most keep their mouths shut if they think it will affect their check. The Congressional Black Caucus is driven by the noise in their districts and if those drums are beating or not beating loud enough, often enough and with clarity, these men and women will do nothing above the status quo. I am speaking of the grassroots people and organizing.
Agreed! It means we, Black people, are not yet free. Yes, the case of Libya will take decades to study for scholars and pan-africanists. I feel there is a disconnet between Africa and African-Americans. Not even the so called Rappers never said anything or how about Christian Preachers? The best of our world are gone, from Dr. King, Malcom X to Michael Jackson, Tupac and so on. Interesting that Michael Jackson was not really excited about this EVIL so called black president!
the evil-NATO goes on because gaddafi lets them. they use the excuse to enter Africa. they were not afraid of gaddafi as much as they are afraid/fearful of the Blacks. cant you see what they are doing rounding-up and killing mostly the blacks(2 scare the blacks). wait and see all non-Blacks be on their side and Blacks on their own will fight & win-with God on our side.
i am sure once gaddafi is gone things will be ok and after him, if the NATO do not stop destroying the country the whole black nation will rise. but maybe, only maybe if-they t have already killed gaddafi and is still ruining the country, that is when we must worry. (how could we know they censored everything).
@waffiki I have a question for u.Since u have soooo much angst against Qaddafi can we put his contributions side by side with yours and see between the two who supports Africans more with deeds,you or him?To begin.Question#1.besides your mouth what African country do you run,support or lead and what African revolution have u organized and led?What is the name of it and where is it and what is it doing for the good of Africa right now?
gaddafi has done a lot to his country and 4 the last few years he help Africans, because the Arabs rejected him. so he is a very complex person. he was helped like Sadam Hussen by the west first, as you well know the west always destroy the one they created unless u do what you are told. i am against NATO, NGO, monetary funds,world bank,IFM....
@waffiki What do you mean when u post "he was helped like Sadam Hussen by the west first, as you well know the west always destroy the one they created unless u do what you are told" As applied to Qaddafi what do u mean and be specific.Thanks.
the west helped gaddafi to overthrow the king and take power. they did in many countries in the world. they trained and support people like sadam hussen, meles-zenawi in ethiopia...... they usually choose people they will manipulate, ruthless and obedience 2 them, but it fail 4 sadam they hanged him, it fail 4 gaddafi he start sympathizing and loving Africa.....read more u 'll find it yourself.
@waffiki .The 'west' did not help him.The King that he overthrew was the 'pro west' one and his family are to this day pro British and pro USA.Qaddafi was a Nasserite jr officer who worked in cohesion with him & was part of the nonaligned movement.I understand that u don't like his socialist,pan Arab style of African politics. That's fine.Say that,but to say he was 'pro-west',like a Noriega or a Somoza is, is not true.He is an Africanist.Maybe not your type of Africanist but he is one.
don't tell lies like the western politic. i had interviewed many Muslim Eriterian and i know what gaddafi did, he wanted to make Africa Muslim....... gaddafi like sadam hussen was working 4 the west.
@waffiki 'Making Africa Muslim' and working 'for the west' are two totally different things...unless of course you are in India!lol But politically 'the west' and Islam are not together and are fundamentally at odds.And have been every since Islam conquered the eastern half of the old Roman empire.
yes the Muslim thing and the west thing are true.....i understand the confusion of this world, get used to it. they work with you, they work with your enemy, they work as a sympathizer, they work as a preacher....they are evil better understand what is going on.
@waffiki I fully understand collaboration and mixed loyalties.But neither or both amount to a blurring of separate entities.'Muslim' and 'the west' are two different things even when & even tho they some time coincide in some actions depending on circumstance.But don't get it twisted.I am not a Muslim nor am i a supporter of 'the west'.I'm an African.
@waffiki exactly Gaddaffi wanted 2 unite Africa but in his vision. He even said that Africa was open to all Arabs in the Middle East. Now what kind of craziness is that.
exactly gaddafi is not what i call normal. he is excellent for his own people but not for Africa (or Black people till recently). he tried to help AFRICA when the going go tough for him with the agents who helped him to throw the government b4 him. gaddafi was working with them and now they turn on him. they always destroy who they make, like sadam hussen, binladin and more.
@yorubablk3 nah sis. this is were your wrong..there was no pro-west one and anti-west one. that is a false dichotomy because the west often uses whoever is willing to work with them. We need to get out of that thinking that ANTI-WEST vs. PRO-WEST..Look at the Ivory Coast situation, a lot of people said Gbagbo was anti-West and Ouattara was pro-West...when the truth is they are both puppets that worked with the French..they are no different. People in power will always b corrupt sis.
@termanology85 Peace.I appreciate your point.The 'west'/'east' dichotomy is one that excludes the 'north/south' one.All present day Africans,work inside a neo-colonial structural politic.All actions should thus be judged,in my view ,from the position of an Africanist one.Example:'Does this or that politician or activity,help or hurt the fundamental quest of Africa to be free,independent and in control of Africa's resources for the benefit of African people or not'?
This sickens me to see. Im sure they were pressured, made promises to even threatened into supporting this BULLSHIT, but have some back-bone Gambia your sealing your own doom. Your kow-towing to the same satanic powers who rob your resources, deceive and murder your people in africa and throughout the world. You think this will stop in Libya...think again.
@waffiki You been drinking a lot of Rastafarian myth about Ethiopian king and freedom fighters loooool they are the one who been working wit white man agents African people. They are the parasites of Africa So pleas stop talking nonsense and learn history from different angel
all the Africans governments are sell outs except Afwerki of Eritrea and Mugabe at lest they stand for what they believe and refuse to be enslaved by the WFP and world bankers Africa needs awakening to stop this new colonization of Africa
those 2 countries are isolated from the international community and can't really make significant moves. I like Mugabe and I'm not too familiar with Eritrea.
not 2 worry TWest the evil destroy what they built. the examples are sadam-hussen, amin, now gaddafi, and it will go on to gambia, ethiopia, eritrea, nigeria..........when they put them as a head of the country, they want them to be ruthless and evil, if they calm down they get rid of them.
NOT good to deal with the evils in the 1st place. they are satans tool , they will never be kind.
the evils were shaken when black all over the world was to demonstrate on August 20th 2011, they step up their action in Lybia 2 shake the murmuring-power of almighty-blacks (they are petrified of our unity). and now 2 break our spirit the TV & all the medias are showing the famine which they created in the 1st place (that is what they did in Ethiopia 1974, Emperor Haile selassie didn't ask help for famine, they use camera technic 2 make it look bad) .
in the 1970s blacks were growing "Black Power Movement" Black Panther Movement" emperor of Ethiopia totally supporting the movement & also was helping the African 4 independent-movement fr colonization; training & land were given in Ethiopia 4 the fighters which include Nelson Mandela so that they will gain their freedom & many counties got their independence.the evils use what they know best propaganda +the famine story 2 destroy the movement....
Gambia too said that if the Europeans and the Arabs should apologise for slavery so they should as they claimed a part in it too. Like I said before it is greed for power that drives some of these African nations. If it wasn't they would of rallied around the Lybians and strove with them yo free Africa. Only the African can free themselves but first they have to want it. Like, Bro Umar Abdullah Johnson, Child Psychologist says; You have to remove the white man within you.
Also I would like to state that black people in Africa and the diaspora must UNITE. Don't think from my previous comments that I hate mother Africa. When I criticize its out of love not out of hate. I see every black man and woman as my brother and sister first whether they are from Harlem, Houston, D.C., Brazil, Cuba, Nigeria, Somalia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Belize, etc.
Tell the truth my brother, it's needed. There are those African immigrants who come to the US with an attitude about African Americans while praising whites. Of course that isn't the norm but it is a bit too pervasive and must be checked. Yes, we do have African Americans with an attitude as well and that must be checked.
Also I notice that when a lot of west africans immigrate to the u.s. they talk trash about black americans. I ask them if we're so fucked up in a country we don't own what is your excuse after being free from colonialism for 50 years but your countries are fucked up even though you have resources that runs the european and american economies but your so poor. That always shuts them up.
Also note that Muammar Gaddafi is the only arab leader who apologized for the arab role in slavery. No apologies from the west african nations that were involved in slavery and damn sure no apologies from the europeans and americans. Ironic that the "evil" arab Gaddafi did what no other african, arab or white man has ever or will do.
Excellent! During the presidency of Clinton, he uttered an apology for slavery but as I have always said, the real political power in politics is the US Senate and it has done virtually little in this regards. Gaddafi certainly did issue an apology for Arabs role in slavery.
@rich5248 People in the Nigerian and Ghanian Government also apologize for their ancestor role in slavery.Also Ghana offered land to Blacks in the Diaspora as repayment.What`s hardly ever talked about is the Africans kings who did`nt engage in selling Africans(Which is the vast majority of African kings)and resisted the Europeans,Also the Majority of the "Africans"That sold their people into slavery was the mixed ones who hated their black blood.Don`t fall for the divide and conquer trick.
@barlog20 I'm aware of the land offer from Ghana. I actually thought about trying to get involved in it but since my ancestors were descendents of colonialism and not slavery I didnt feel i had any right to it. I didnt know about Nigeria apologizing for its role in the slave trade. When did this happen?
@rich5248 My apologies i mean`t the west African country of Benin.Back in 2003 the U.S. ambassador for the small west coast African nation Benin apologized for his ancestors role in the transatlantic slave trade In the name of the government of benin and the people of Benin, and on behalf of President Mattie Ke're'kou.
@barlog20 I heard about the president of Benin apologizing for its country role in the trans atlantic slave trade. It's good that some African nations are recognizing their role. I only wish more arab countries, european, and the u.s. would apologize but more importantly some form of reparations.
@rich5248 Germany pays Israel reparations for the holocaust and i heard they have to pay for another 70 -80 years.Blacks have been through a worst holocaust and we get nothing.Most of the Nazi`s were half Jewish and small percentage of them were black and there were blacks taken to concentration camps also.And it was Wall-street,U.S corporations and England who funded Hitler,And England trained Hitler.Hitler was taken down by the US/British cause he started printing his own money.
@rich5248 Part 2: Also i forgot to mention In 2008 at a press conference in Harlem In honor of America's Black History Month, chairman H.E Jakaya Kikwete of the African Union apologized, on behalf of the nations represented by his organization, for the involvement of some elements of the African continent in the black slave trade.Also back in 1999 Benin president Matthieu Kerekou directly apologized to African-American church leaders for his ancestors involvement in Slavery.
@rich5248 again your misinformed Ghana and Benin have apologized for their roles in the slave trade. see this is the problem with uninformed people spewing things they haven't researched.
I'm a BLACK man born and raised in America but my parents and whole family is from Nigeria. I'm ashamed and appalled by Nigeria's collaboration with NATO and al-qaeda backed rebels. Sadly a lot of west african nations are scared of the European and American white man and does whatever he says and does.
Thank you my brother. This is what must change if Nigeria and other cowering African governments are to have a real chance to extend the growth they have seen over the last several years. The Germanic tribes have returned to take away that growth and add it unto themselves.
Wow, a straight betrayal. Those NATO supported rebels are murdering dark skinned Libyans (Africans) and other dark skinned Africans and African nations are recognizing them as legitimate????
@termanology85 You are referring to lower Egypt in the north closer to the Delta. Even though they had foreign admixture they still had the black African phenotype. They looked like your everyday Afo Dominican, AfroBrazilian, or African American and they were always culturally black African. I know I went off topic but I simply had to clear this up. That's no BULLSHIT as you put it in an earlier comment
@termanology85 You haven't studied Egypt and its long thousands of years history. You have only had snippets and it shows in your comments. What dynasty are you refering to when you reference Kemet? Read what the Kemetans said about where they came from. They said they originated in upper Egypt or Ethiopia where hapi dwells. Also Lower Egypt in the north was more mixed. Upper Egypt in the South is where most of the Pharoahs came from before the Greek Ptolemiac rulers
Termanolgy,Count Volney went to egypt in the late 1700s and said that all the egyptians were BLACK. The papyrus of Hunefer says "we come from the beginning of the nile where god Hapi dwells and the foot hill of the mountain of the moon" this is the great lakes region Kenya and Uganda and all the ppl from that area are BLACK.
@termanology85 You do not have the whole story. Actually the world SLAVE is derived from the word SLAV the Arabs and black Moroccan and Andalusian Moors enslaved a heck of a lot of whites. Ever heard of the Mamluks in Egypt?Plus the Egyptian were the same race as the Nubians or Ethiopians. It was not racial in the case of Nubia. Both nations vied for power and wared with each other. Don't forget the Asiatics were more hated than the Nubians
@termanology85 What are you on about the egyptians stated they were black they drew themself as black people they were and are black there are still millions of natives in egypt like you have millions of native north africans still. Are you one of those crazy colonists and decendants of slaves that thinks they are berbers, arabs and egyptians you need a real history why dont you start by looking for accounts of white or white like egyptians.
@termanology85 I dont know what you are smoking but the egyptians were black there are still millions of native black egyptians today. Lmao mixed the bastards of history came about recently they have no civilizations of there own. Like i said why dont you show how herotodus described the egyptians or even aristotle then make that stupid statement again of egypt being mixed.
@meandwot A "black presence" in Egypt today is not sufficient proof that the Ancient Egyptians were a "black race". I don't doubt a Black presence in Egyptian antiquity but the overall majority were not Black. You can't point at Black Pharaohs as evidence the Egyptians were Black.. becuzz if u do then I will point @ Obama family to prove a majority of Americans are Black.
@termanology85 its not just a native presence today its the ancient artwork, remains of the dead aswell as eye witness accounts. “Those who are too black are cowards, like for instance, the Egyptians
and Ethiopians. But those who are excessively white are also cowards as we can see from the example of women, the complexion of
courage is between the two.” (Aristotle, _Physiognomy_, 6)
Stop living in your dream world mongrels do not just turn up out of no were its generations of mixing.
@termanology85 that simply does not make sense. The reason why many Gulf Arabs have the Somali look is because they are mixtures of the original black Arabs and migrating white skinned Indo Europeans. They speak afroasiatic tongues as we blacks in America speak English an IndoEuropean language
@Termanology85 Actually Arabic and most likely Hebrew are Afroasiatic not semetic as is popularly accepted. Listen to Hausa or Zeghawe and you'll also notice the guttural Arabic sound as well. Those are also Afroasiatic languages yet those ethnic groups are black Africans. Plus, most language families have a least a dozen others in the family, yet so called semetic languages are only a few
@termanology85 Yes the original Arabs were black. There is not only one black phenotype just as there isn't only one white one either. The original Arabs were from Yemen. No Educated Saudi will deny the blackness of the ancient Addites. They looked more like Somalis. If you listen to Somali and Arabic, its quite obvious that they are genetically related and Somali, like many languages is Afoasiatic, yet Arabic is labelled as Semetic
West Africans get a lot of flack for being "sellouts" and it's little unfair. Africans in general are very VERY materialistic people, if you think black Americans are materialistic, you havn't seen nothing. So when the west comes in and flashes a little money infront of some of these African leaders they react like a fiend in a room full of crack. They not trying to hear about no United Africa, most of them send they children to study abroad and that says a lot. It's the weak leaders not people.
West Africans should NOT be trusted. UNLESS you´re WHITE, you can trust them to help you enslave other Africans. And West African women are known around the world as the most money hungry, materialistic women on the planet.
@AfiSynergy on a personal note, yes I was a Muslim. But as I began to expand my consciousness into where religion began, I started to change. The Abrahamic religions are EXOTERIC religions. I am more into consciousness and vibration or ESOTERIC doctrines. Religion and fear based beliefs are helpful at a certain level of consciousness, but for me fear and heaven and hell existing externally became more and more unbelievable as my consciousness expanded
I think for now the African Union serves Africa well. Its going to have to begin by region, West, East, Central. I recently read that East Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, etc are planning for a united currency. The West African region is also planning for a united currency. After the regions consolidate, then the next phase of continental unity can begin. Its a process
That is the longstanding plan. The problem is that some Africans, in the wicked spirit of their ancestors, decided to push Gaddafi out. They primarily hail from West Africa and Ethiopia.
The "indigenous Libyans" didn't and still don't have the means to oust Gaddafi. This was a coordinated foreign effort. Recall what happened before NATO arrived. The rebels were begging and praying for NATO to come to their aid. Prior to that, the rebels had swept through town after town and city after city on their way to Tripoli. The rebels administration will not last, with or without the help of NATO and other Arab states.
The point is that a number of West African nations, like some of their forefathers, are once again collaborating with the apex killers on the planet, and it isn't in the best interest of African people as a whole.
Yes, I do know the will of the majority in Libya. It's been reflected in the support for the government where 2 million across Libya gathered to show their support for their government. NATO has dropped leaflets and bombs with the leaflets telling the Libyan people to forget their government because NATO is stronger. NATO bombed food warehouses with the intent to break the will of the Libyan people. I suggest you study the tactics used against Iraq.
@AfriSynergy I know.. Arab is not a race. It is a cultural orientation and way of life. A lot of Moroccans still have the black African phenotype. Same with Southern Egyptians and Gulf Arabs in UAE, OMAN and quite a few Saudis. Nevertheless, Arabs still retain racist cultural elements. I should know I was a Sunni Muslim for 12 years. I know how they think. They are a lot less racist than whites but the element is still there.
@AfriSynergy Nigeria stood by Mugabe and vetoed every UN anti Mugabe motion. There is nothing wrong with letting some of them in. By the way Mozambique and a few other countries also invited some of the white farmers. The difference is that they will be leasing the land for a limited time, not owning it. By the way most of the white colonialist farmers chose not to go to Nigeria beacause the details of the deal was to stringent. Only a negligeable number actually took the deal
@AfriSynergy I personally hope the Jews tear them to pieces and I once wrote that to an Egyptian man in an afrocentric video about Egyptian Pharaohs being black in response to his racial insults. I really don't care about Arabs unless they serve black interests. Africans and blacks have for too long acted servile to them. People respect strength and cultural pride
I will level with you........ The original Arabs were black. The modern day Arab is most often a miscegenated group mixed with the white Persians of Iran and people who were of African origins. It's sort of like Barack Obama but over many generations of mixing.
@AfriSynergy I am telling you what a few Libyans said about him to me. The Enemy of My Enemy is Machiavellian. Its a reality. For example most Arabs can care less about black Africans. During Sudan's massacre of the black Muslims in Darfur, most of your typical Arabs didn't say a thing, but when Israeli Jews kill Palestinians they expect the whole world including blacks to be outraged
Yes, noted and a few other Libyans will tell you the exact opposite. If it is internationally popular to speak against a government, Libyans abroad will most often tell you what they think is popular, even knowing it isn't true.
@AfriSynergy Nigeria is one. The problem in that country has much less to do with religion. Its entirely economics. There are plenty of southern Yoruba Muslims. Agriculture was for too long neglected in the North. Now the talented Northern leadership is heavily emphasizing agriculture, solid minerals, and education. Nigeria over time will overcome its difficulties
Nigeria provided loans to and brought in white farmers who had left Zimbabwe after Mugabe carried out the Lancaster Agreement that Britain neglected for a decade. No problem with that, so long as it did not do this to the neglect of doing the same for its own farmers.
Making mistakes such as this only sets Nigeria back and impedes the progress of Africa. South Africa has the largest number of Nigerians in Africa outside of Nigeria. It also remains the largest economy.
@AfriSynergy I love Nigeria and it will soon be Africa's largest economy. We have Harvard and MIT trained technocrats with years of experience in the Johnothan administration. We are optimistic about our future. There is a 15 year plan to bring that nation into the top 20 world economies club. That country will soon have the most indigenous billionaires in Africa. It already has produced Africa's richest black man. Education, jobs creation, and infrastructure are top priorities
Hmmmmmm...... yes, I am aware of all of that. Kase Lowal in the US, Philip Emeagwali and a host of others. However, what does all of this matter when the objectives are driven by the same corrupt pure capitalist greed as your former British colonizers. "Billionaires" in Nigeria as if this is a race to see who can have the largest number of wealthy persons. Gaddafi refused to live in a house until all Libyans had a home. In fact, his father died before that was achieved.
@Afrisynergy The trend today in business and politics is economies of scale. Africa is too balkanised. There are plenty of landlocked countries in Africa that are not economically viable. You can see this consolidation worldwide with ASEAN, THE EUROPEAN UNION, MERCOSOR in South America, The Gulf Cooperation council that will soon have a single currency. THE FUTURE NORTH AMERICAN UNION, The
This is why Gaddafi spearheaded the formation of the African Union. He saw this long ago. He tried to organize the Arab League in such a manner and they rejected him, and started collaborating with the Europeans to destroy him with lies.
Do you not know about the plan of one African currency? If not, I suggest you look at other videos on this channel, I can't dedicate too much time to this. See WHY WE SHOULD PARTNER WITH AFRICA.
Iran was delighted when Sadam Hussein was deposed and they didn't even have to fire a single bullet. China is delighted that the US is tied down in global wars. It is also delighted that the US demonizes Muslims because it can now crack down on its Uighars in its Zianzing Provence who are non Han Chinese Muslims. You see the same thing in Business. Apple supports Microsoft Bing because it takes away market share from Google
Yes, it is the game of geopolitics. However, we need to be blunt and cut to the chase and get about the business of One Africa, One Currency, and One Trade Region. That has been on paper for more than a decade. Gaddafi was a key player.
@AfriSynergy T west with all the troubles in libya i wonder if they are gonna carry the one currency under gold in africa. Its alot of chaos in libya!!!!

Some of them thought in the terms of slavery or servant in African terms but others knew exactly what would befall these people because the cruelty was seen right there at the sea shore prior to millions being placed upon ships bound for the other side of the world. More importantly, we see this sellout behavior today, mainly in some West African areas. This is very troubling and must be exposed.

@Nayelle1290 PT3 were the Africans were afraid the Euros would take them as slaves cause the Euros had superior fire power so they would sale other Africans,mostly from other tribes but sometimes from their tribe so they themselves would`nt be taken as slaves.Some African Chiefs would sale their criminals off to get their hands on guns cause they knew the Euros would try to conquer their tribe and these Africans knew that their spears and shields was no match against Guns and cannons.

The rappers are no more damaging than other aspects of a society that is driven by pure monetary gain and pleasure, they are only one component of many. What hurts blacks the most is not having a good balance of understanding, knowledge and trust.

Attempts have been made to assassinate Gaddafi many times. It's trivial. Those who struggle to do good and oppose those who do evil are often a target for character assassination or physical assassination. There's nothing "theoretical" about documented history and the contemporary of groups of Africans who roll with killers, thieves, enslavers and rapists. Embrace the truth and insist upon change which embraces that truth.

Gambia too said that if the Europeans and the Arabs should apologise for slavery so they should as they claimed a part in it too. Like I said before it is greed for power that drives some of these African nations. If it wasn't they would of rallied around the Lybians and strove with them yo free Africa. Only the African can free themselves but first they have to want it. Like, Bro Umar Abdullah Johnson, Child Psychologist says; You have to remove the white man within you.
