Are You Really African as You Claim?

By Sicebise Msengana

How African are you?

*Your parents won’t give you privacy because its their house

*Your mother hits you and hits you harder if you keep on crying

*When you have uncles and aunts younger than you

*You drink tea even when its blazing hot outside

*When your parents yell at you for hurting yourself

Dr. Umar Johnson writes "You’ve heard the rumors, for they are everywhere, and although unproven, they still resonate as “facts” throughout much of American society. The untruth that Black men don’t want to care for their children has become a staple in American folklore. Even sadder is the fact that these rumors are not only postulated by the numerically dominant white majority of this country, but are actually created, maintained and reinforced by the Black community itself...."

500 Years of Resentment and Anger Against Africans

By Sicebise Msengana

I won't speak for  'Hebrew Israelites' and 'Black Indians', let their advocates speak for them. I will only speak for Africans -- both continental Africans and Diaspora. I understand that these pseudo-identities our people have picked up are coping mechanisms in a white society that bashes anything that looks 'African.' The poor arguments are in contradiction to scientific and archeological evidence. The purpose of these ideologies are to serve as a group therapy for those affected by slavery.

Modern African Traditional Clothing

The feelings of so-called civilisation are mixed. What may appear as 'civilisation' might be instincts.

"My  own  impression,  from  having  divided  my  life  between United  States  cities  and  New  Guinea  villages,  is  that  the  so-called  blessings of  civilization  are  mixed.  For  example,  compared  with  hunter-gatherers, citizens  of  modern  industrialized  states  enjoy  better  medical  care,  lower risk  of  death  by  homicide,  and  a  longer  life  span,  but  receive  much  less social  support  from  friendships  and  extended  families.  My  motive  for investigating  these  geographic  differences  in  human  societies

Religion Has Been a Stumbling Block of Progress

" when you do science, you have to put aside religion. You must exclude the divine from your theories about the world. Once you bring in the supernatural, you can explain anything, but none of your explanations can ever be confirmed, since you're using ideas that go beyond human sense"--Steven Weinberg

From its beginning religion has been a stumbling block against scientific developments. The claims made by religious fanatics are fallacious in many ways. Just because religious scientists did or still do scientific work has nothing to do with science. In fact, greatest scientists were and always irreligious and didn't bring science into religion (i.e. Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin).

No One Has been Held Responsible For Apartheid

The white man likes to dodges responsibility for his crimes against humanity like a psychopath -- absence of guilt or remorse, "I wasn't there" or "I didn't support apartheid." Yeah right. We all know that some whites were not born or were little at that time. But the vast majority of white people supported or were complicit with the system that offered them real benefits and privileges.

 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court  described apartheid as "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime." The heinous ideology that mimicked Nazism. Both ideologies – Apartheid and Nazism had common roots Christian religio-nationalism, which led to the creation of segregation of races. Along these lines and that of scientific racism, a racist white power structure came in being. Apartheid would’ve a great experiment if races were segregated but the
