  OPINION: The unsettling meanings of coloured identity and why it should be challenged

  

  
  Family I ran across this post and I just like to share this with you if have the time give me your comment on this blog.
  
  I was born with the sand of the Namib Desert between my toes and grew up in Upington, where the mighty Orange River flows a stone's throw away from the town centre.
  
  I remember as a teenager how excited my cousins and I would get when our neighbours across the street had family visiting. The reason for our enthusiasm would often be because the visitors

  Did You Know that “Negro History Week”was the Root of “Black History Month”?

  
  
  The month of February is considered “Black History Month” across the United States. But it had a much earlier predecessor called “Negro History Week”. This recognition was the brainchild of an African-American historian, Dr. Carter G. Woodson. He is considered by many to be the “Father of Black History.”
  
  Carter Godwin Woodson was born on December 19, 1875 in New Canton, VA. He was the fourth of seven children.
  
  As a young child growing up, he worked as a sharecropper...

  The Resurgence of New Afrikan Identity

  I am not colored, Negro, Afro-American, African-American, nor any other identifying appellation or abstract term historically imposed upon me.
  
  Nor are people that look like me. Black people in the U.S. are “New Afrikans,” and I’m going to tell you why.
  
  
  In 1968 at a conference convened by the Malcolm X Society and the Group on Advanced Leadership (GOAL) in Detroit, more than 500 black nationalists - including Queen Mother Moore, Betty Shabazz, Jamil al-Amin, Maulana...

  Race in Ancient Egypt: Black Pharaohs?

  
  Race in Ancient Egypt is one of the most polarized ongoing historical debates. But very few give the discussion a progressive treatment. And any treatment of this contentious discussion must discuss contemporary politics, sociology and historical reality thosands of years ago without contaminating it with our 21st century politics.
  
  As people of African descent and others assert their definitions of self in an effort to create a national consciousness, European academia belittles

  8 Signs You’re a Slave Instead of an Employee

  

  Literal slavery is a horrible practice that still persists into the modern age. But, I want to talk about another form of human exploitation–employment slavery, which can also ruin a person’s life. Generally, I consider this a self-inflicted slavery because it’s ultimately a person’s choice to work under such conditions—but I also understand that brainwashing can occur, creating the illusion that there’s no way out.
  
  
  
  Slavery (in general) exists because of the inclination

  The Psychology of Being Afrikan-Centered and What That Really Means

  Now that some of us are claiming to have begun to study Afrikan-Centered information, when will we, as individuals begin to look at ourselves, study ourselves, and our own mentality and behavior? When are we, as individuals, going to own our ‘sh**’. If we are being honest, we must look at the ‘person in the mirror’. First of all, we must study the self. Many of us go around, after watching a few ‘youtube’ videos and all of a sudden we know everything. Many of us haven’t picked up one book by any...

  Raising Awareness Group

  BY OLATUNJI MWAMBA
  
  “The ‘N’ word and why we as a race of people must stop using it”
  

  
  
  

  
  
  This is being written today because I am completely disgusted and disappointed at the level of idiocy among many of our people; those who continually try to rationalize and justify the use of the ‘N’ word. There is no justifiable reason for our continued use of this degrading and despicable word; a word created by our mortal enemies used to degrade, de-humanize,
