The seven primary European countries that colonized Africa during the late 19th-century "Scramble for Africa" were the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and Italy, dividing the continent among themselves with Britain and France holding the largest territories.
United Kingdom: Major holdings in East, West, and Southern Africa (e.g., Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa).
France: Controlled vast areas in West and North Africa (e.g., Algeria, Senegal, Madagascar).
Germany: Acquired territories like German East Africa (Tanzania) and Namibia before World War I.
Belgium: Ruled the resource-rich Belgian Congo (DRC).
Portugal: Held Angola and Mozambique.
Italy: Colonized Libya, Eritrea, and Italian Somaliland.
Spain: Gained Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara.

China has not colonized Africa in the historical, territorial sense that European powers did in the 19th century. Instead, China has established a massive economic footprint, becoming Africa’s largest trading partner and a major lender for infrastructure, leading some to debate if its influence constitutes a modern form of "neo-colonialism" or a, mutually beneficial partnership.

THE BLACK WOMAN SHE Is

What do you think will happen to the US if Russia, China, NK, and Iran join forces to address trump's latest threat to Iran?

Who's going to stand beside trump? Netanyahu? Canada? Denmark? ANYBODY IN AFRICA?

The real reason why Netanyahu was ALLOWED to commit genocide and DESTROY Gaza!

Africa has over 1 Billion people, yet only 15% of trade happens within Africa. It's easiser to send a package from Ghana to Beijing than to send a package within Africa. Chad shuts border with Sudan after soldiers from Chad were killed. I don't think any of us alive today will see the unity of Africa...

So he has Tourette Syndrome and the only thing that can come out his mouth after seeing two Black men on stage is ni**er? Not happy birthday or it's raining outside but ni**er? I call FUCKERY!

The slur was shouted early on in the ceremony while two black actors were on stage.

Sylvester's Dying Bed
BY LANGSTON HUGHES

I woke up this mornin’
’Bout half-past three.
All the womens in town
Was gathered round me.

Sweet gals was a-moanin’,
“Sylvester’s gonna die!”
And a hundred pretty mamas
Bowed their heads to cry.

I woke up little later
’Bout half-past fo’,
The doctor ‘n’ undertaker’s
Both at ma do’.

Black gals was a-beggin’,
“You can’t leave us here!”
Brown-skins cryin’, “Daddy!
Honey! Baby! Don’t go, dear!”

But I felt ma time’s a-comin’,
And I know’d I’s dyin’ fast.
I seed the River Jerden
A-creepin’ muddy past—
But I’s still Sweet Papa ’Vester,
Yes, sir! Long as life do last!

So I hollers, “Com’ere, babies,
Fo’ to love yo’ daddy right!”
And I reaches up to hug ’em—
When the Lawd put out the light.

Then everything was darkness
In a great ... big ... night.

A FRIEND AT ALL TIMES, PART 1

Psalm 55:12-14 12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

The Bible says, Trust no man or woman at this hour. When I look back at my life, I see one constant: Yahusha. He provided me a partner who puts up with my temperament and tired soul that's weary, as all God knows. Yahusha placed me in the midst of a sanctuary of people who congregate each Sunday morning to get instruction from a man whose burden is heavy, but his heart is grand. His church is in the book of Revelation; it's called the church of Philadelphia. I call it TOTAL PRAISE FULL GOSPEL CHURCH. When I had no one, they accepted me. One of my prayers for this church is to be translated into the heavens with their extended families who may hate or have discarded them along with my apostle and me, as it is written in {Revelation 11:11-12}. The hell that will manifest before the people of earth will be harrowing. I don't want my church family, which I admit I've been a terror and a nightmare to at times, to suffer this judgment. My apostle differs from me, which is expected. He has an understanding that goes deeper than a freshly dug gold mine in Burkina Faso. He's chastised me occasionally, and I took the stripes. Yahusha knew what I needed: a spiritual butt whipping under a righteous man's tutelage. I’ve learned from his ministry gifts as well, which have indoctrinated me with wisdom. We have a good master teacher in our apostle. I love his qualities, like the love he has for all people, as he abhors judging people; his heart that’s bigger than a basketball held with gentle hands; and his ability to forgive and forget without ever rehashing old pains and hurts, no matter how traumatic. In the above scripture from the book of Psalms, David wrote those words about his relationship with his friend King Saul, who tried to kill him several times, but God protected David. David confronted Saul after each attempt on his life with evidence that he could have killed Saul after many of those attempts. David refused to lay hands on God's anointed. Saul was one of the Father’s anointed, like David. He and Saul would reconcile and weep together only for Saul to forget as if a man who saw his reflection in a mirror only to walk away and forget. Saul, like me, was bipolar and suffered from manic depression. The Father killed Saul; David died of a natural ripe old age. Deliver me, Father. Like Saul, my fate abides with thee. The harmful, tormenting spirit that attacked Saul was sent by the Most High in the form of a chemical imbalance. It was the Father’s punishment against Saul, who went against the Father’s instruction with a dismissive attitude. He did according to his will after the Father commanded him through the prophet Samuel. You might be suffering from this spiritual condition that causes some to commit suicide. Know that the Holy Spirit can cure you of these and any other ailment. {Matthew 8:16-17 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses}. Yahusha wasn't just a friend; He is our constant redeemer who intercedes for us 24/7. Your faith in Yahusha or Yahuah will significantly increase or decrease. If you've been snared by false prophets and false doctrines, choose Yahusha over the lies. Time’s almost up. Your heart should seek the one who said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. Believe me, He's seeking you. Get this mindset: Yahusha’s not lost; we are. Your soul will rest in eternal peace or eternal torment if you decide to walk in the ways of Balaam. Baal comes in many forms of deception. He will always seek to please your flesh that’s wanting and never satisfied. Satan can come in the form of a friend who's an adversary with the purpose to make you partake in sin that's destructive to your soul. You won't realize it until you’re consumed and burning in Hades. Those who pull you away from the temptations of the flesh are not perceived as friends, but agitators. That's Satan’s deception. God puts people in your life that you’re not worthy of, understand, or care for until the Father reveals in your heart they don't want anything from you but to see you healthy, friendship, and a trusting relationship. Some never find out. Continue—
