BLACK HISTORY MONTH HIJACKED!

Imperialists have tried to appropriate everything from African music to artefacts and other sectors of African identity.

In this clip, Abbas Muntaqim, a community organiser and podcaster, broke down how Western imperialism and corporate media have hijacked Black History Month. Historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History began ‘Negro History Week’ in 1926 in the United States. In 1970, Kent State University (Ohio) students launched a month-long event to highlight the historic oppression of Black people and celebrate our achievements in the face of systemic white supremacy. After it gained popularity, US President Gerald Ford announced in 1976 that every February would be commemorated as Black History Month.

Now, it is commemorated in a few European countries and, as of 2020, Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Ivory Coast, Comoros, Senegal and Cameroon take part, too.

I just wanna know why "black history month" is being celebrated in Africa? tf you sayin

THE FUNDAMENTALS ARE NECESSARY.

You should not even be permitted to fire your weapon until you can demonstrate that you can handle it properly, disassemble it, clean it, then reasemble it. We are woefully unprepared! Get
trained, then invest in practice, practice, practice.

Finally a app for our community (melanated). I'm new to this platform,but I'm already loving what I'm seeing. Peace and love! ✨

NO MORE WHITE LIES!

Africa may have rid herself of colonisers, but many history books are still woefully under the yoke of colonial narratives. Europeans liked to paint themselves as having brought 'civilisation' to the 'savages' of Africa. But really, theirs is a story of rape, murder and pillage - of the destruction of native customs, culture and identities by the imposition of foreign rule.
In this clip, singer-songwriter Erica LeShai lashes out at what she calls the 'White lies" still dominating not just historical discussions but people's beliefs. In particular, she vents her frustration at how people become really upset when these falsehoods are pointed out to them. Whether these 'lies' are conscious or subliminal, she insists that until there is a proper reckoning and admission - until a correction of the narrative is embraced by all sides - progress is impossible.
