You can't make someone like you, respect you, or acknowledge your greatness, but you can make sure that you love, respect and acknowledge yourself for the great being you are. And that is where it all begins. We are a great people. Let us fight negativity with positivity. Because of our courage and strength throughout the ages, we can show, and have shown, the world the power and flexibility of spirit. We are a symbol of great inner resourcefulness. Ubuntu!

What do you mean by black? Why claim a "race" identity?

If you are referring to the term "black" as it is used by European "whites" toward people of West and sub-Saharan Africa....then say so.

Remember, that more than 95% of all Afro-African "black" people who occupy the "Americas" are descendents of people who resided in West Africa and sub-Saharan Africa (mainly of Bantu linguist tribal civilizations), not the East Horn nor North Africa civilizations, etc.

@Bsmurfdizzle fake african?... I hope for you that you are an african american or afro caribean as both these groups are highly mixed with whites.

I´m 100% bantu, and still speak my bantu dialect. I like stories of blacks suceeding, but I hate it when these store based on false assumptions or informations.

@CushiticSomalianMale To be truthful, there is no sense of us being "Africans" bickering over ancient African history, when the REAL issue at hand is Non African "Europeans" claim parts of OUR history, in which they brainwash & teach throughout the world, through the school systems. Therefor me & you are cut from the same cloth, & that cloth needs to wipe out all the lies told throughout history! Meanwhile the mummies are STILL on display for profit in Europe. So I am doing talking my brother.

@KingTutankhamun100

listen here son, i never said i see u as a enemy, i plan on teaching u about Somalia correctly since i am the darkskinned tall cushite african from Somalia a.k.a Ta neter a.k.a Pwenet = east African coast = Somalia, and if U had something called COMMON-sense then ud know Somalia is the name given to us by our former white-christian racist colonisers, reffering to the land of teh Somali tribe, but obviously by the Kemetians Somalia was called Pwenet/PUNT.

@CushiticSomalianMale Kemet/Egypt was not just built & ruled by "Puntites" my friend. Somalis have a country named "Somalia" for a reason. Not to mention you should be fighting for your people as of right NOW rather than commenting on youtube videos. Your ppl rather look up to Arabs, whom DONT respect you, rather than uplift your own ppl. You have got it all backwards my friend. I am not the enemy.
