Blackness expands for criminology but contracts for Egyptology. So identity depends on whether the subject has been good or bad. Maybe it is time for a paradigm shift.

However, the ethnicity of Ancient Egyptians was Ancient Egyptian. The ethnicity of ancient Ethiopians was Ethiopian. ¹ All of a sudden no ‘blacks’ exists in any any faucet of Egyptian history, because Egypt just became a suburb of Europe. Well, until today they attempt to enter UK border control.

Are we saying Ancient Egyptians were BLACK PEOPLE? No, not at all we are saying black is a social construction that seems to conveniently change to suit the user. What we are saying is the phenotype of most Ancient Egyptians (the Old Kingdom, etc) was no outlier to phenotypes found in Africa in antiquity and found amongst modern people of African heritage. Blackness is nebulous, and best be avoided.

Nubians are supposed to be black and Egyptians non black. What is black? ² By American standards or by South African standards? Clearly by the standards that exclude African natives from greatness.

It has to be one of the stupidest discussions on Earth with pseudo-experts weighing in with certainty. Nothing more frustrating than hearing an ‘Egyptian ‘ expert lean on ‘race’, a social construction as if ‘race’ was a fact beyond subjective assignment.

Is she black? She said she is. She gets treated as such. What about Goapele? is she black? How much energy would we spend wasting debating the blackness of these fellows” According to these racist Egyptologists the guys below would be three different races. Some Black Africans, some Brown Africans, and some Yellow Africans.

And when you can’t pause to be critical of your foundational assumptions you are a damn fool.

In the photo of Rihanna and her man, which one is black? Yet black has expended again. In Ancient Egypt black contracts to the 18th century model below.

THE QUEST FOR WHITE ACCEPTANCE

I need to prove to my oppressor how human I am, then he will stop oppressing me

 White (code for pure, better, unblemished, civilized) and black (code for dirty, sub-human, backward, sinful). But as Fanon said Whiteness needs blackness for its stability. If Africans abandon being blacks, what worth would whites have? The Asians, the Arabs, and even the Inuit bailed out of color-based racial identities.

So White means not black and black means not white.

But they are not opposites either because blackness circumnavigated whiteness keeping it stable. White has power, black depends on white for its power and identity.

In a world with no Whites, there would be no blacks. Both identities are continjent on each other. Being Arab is not contingent on Europe or Asian identies.

Neither black nor white tell you anything about the world external to themselves. Asian tells me that there must be a connection to a physical place called Asia. Islam tells me to look for Muslims and 1400 years of history and culture. White tells you what black is not and black tells us what White is not. Grasp the relationship and the asymmetrical power to understand the setup.

“The Negro enslaved by his inferiority, the white man enslaved by his superiority alike behave in accordance with a neurotic orientation.”
― Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

Just note, that Zionists do not like calling Palestinians Palestinian, why is that? They would prefer to call them Arab. Why do you think that is? Every day they challenge the authenticity of a Palestinian identity.

Asked 1000 times to find any way to get around Palestine and Palestinians. But when you are named after your land it will always be yours.

Why do you think? Europeans in America would rather us be blacks, South African Sub-Saharan Whites would rather we be BLACK Africans or better yet just blacks. Do I have to explain the motivation? It is really hard to steal someone’s land when their identities are connected to it. It is really hard—almost impossible. To enslave a people when they know of a rich beautiful continent called Africa with technology, culture, history, religion, and laws.

Our greatest destiny is to become White— Meshelle Ndegeocello

And regardless of what people say, their actions confirm this impossible desire to be accomplished in the vein of their oppressors. To prove that as blacks then can be as whites: albeit a version of Whiteness. But black will always be playing second fiddle to whiteness. You actually don’t have to oppress people in this mental state— They will oppress themselves trying to be you. Self-hate dressed up as empowerment. Envy paraded as rebellion.

So they say— Proud to be black and someone mistranslates that into proud to be African. But it is not the same. More often than not it is a statement that I am not African— I am black now and one day my blackness will be equal to Whiteness.

So What is blackness?

 

Blackness is an identity connected to the power of Whiteness in a state of rebellion. It is an identity almost out of negation. We are not White while trying to create a version of white property but with equal value. Ending racism is all about assisting the integration of blackness as equal to whiteness.

Whites glorify wealth and brand names, blacks glorify money and brand names more. Blackness chases whiteness for verification. It is a rebellious version of whiteness set in deep competition for acceptance. When Jay Z makes references to greatness he cites the Greeks— proof that he is educated because he knows what Whites know. He is highly educated because he understands White property. When a rapper needs a new name they are Napoleon or Caesar. They should try Sinwar and see how that works out. As Karenga said they have engaged us in memory replacement, where we think what is theirs is ours. Blacks and Whites want to share the land stolen from the Native Americans. They want to fight in the great wars for Pax Americana! And prove their American patriotism as if slavery was not enough. They return home to be lynched and denied the right to vote after killing non-White people for White people.

 In its most negative self-expression and rebellion, blackness associates with the negatives and tries to add value to them. Immorality, dirty, and ignorance, is now cool. As an investigative, it is easier to confirm the negative and flip it than chase the virtues of whiteness (good, clean, holy, pure). They say we are ignorant, so let us be ignorant and make ignorant cool. They like to read and study, let us celebrate even more capitalism and ignorance than Whites.

It is not unique to America. We have seen the exact same thing in South Africa. They are also blacks and act in rebellion for attention. And it is strange economically and culturally because your entire relationship is a subset of someone else’s you need their property to prove to them how equal and angry you are. At no stage does owning your own or creating your own material culture appeal to you.

We blacks are not like you whites. Yet, they do not have much of their own other than inverted whiteness.

Whatever you do, we will be the opposite. you Whites like education, we like ignorance. African identity is not the opposite of European identity. African identity is rooted in the cultures of African people. It is standalone, not contingent upon anything European. If there was no Europe it would still continue. It does not define itself in negation of something else; Articulated with reference to something else.

THE DOOR OF NO CULTURAL RETURN

Something strange must have happened mid-voyage on the Dark sea trip to the Americans that changed African people (Asante, Ewe, Mande, Fulani, Igbo) into blacks.

That is the door of no return that turned us from Africans of various ethnic groups into blacks for slavery on their plantations. Everything was done to break our connection to stop us from reconnecting with our humanity. Africans enslaved in the West knew they did not come from the Americas. But after time the memory of Africa faded as we accepted every low identity they gave us; colored, nigger, negro, and black. Malcolm X reminded us of our origin in Africa. Karenga said we are Africans, we are just here (in America) now. (Motherland 2010)

And at AHS we have always asked, what would have happened if those enslaved people were called African. What would they think about day and night? Africa and how to get back there. But generations after generations we were trained (this is the right word) to hate Africa (per Malcolm X) and everything associated with Africa. If it had in the word African we wanted to run away from it. I doubt that some even knew about Africa and lived and died knowing blackness.

Today we have African Americans boasting about how much white blood runs through their veins as evidence they are not like those Africans over in Africa.

BLACK HISTORY =/= AFRICAN HISTORY

It started with African history, then they reduced it to only Slavery, then only civil rights now it is only about Beyonce and Serena, Biggie and Tupac.

It is no surprise that Black history starts (like October the 7th) after 98% of our history in Africa. Every year they squeeze Africa out of the discussion until now it is even taboo to introduce Africa into the discourse. Whites will get upset and say strange things like ‘black history is American history”. But the history of us as a people started in Africa not after we were stolen into slavery. So what happened on the Middle Passage on that dark voyage to fracture our DNA, culture, and history and create a new Black American one? Indians have been in the Caribbean just as long, and in South Africa for 150 years, why are they still culturally and racially Indians? Why don’t they become brown and reject India?

Why do they still try to speak Gujarati in the mosque and wear Indian attire for special events?

So what special process did we in the Diaspora undergo to terminate our Africaness and create blackness in its place?

Drapetomania:

This hypothesis centered around the belief that slavery was such an improvement upon the lives of slaves that only those suffering from some form of mental illness would wish to escape.

And this is what most people who identify with black Americans are dealing with. We must understand the word black in all its ontological glory. It is a version of Whiteness, albeit its power opposite. It is still sharing same culture, same ideology, same values. It has an investment first and foremost in the American dream that America is a place to start again as something new, disconnected from your past. But Whites are not disconnected from their past. Billions of dollars to Whites in Israel and Ukraine should tell us that. But we only see the surface, not the full picture. Whites have never abandoned being European. White Americans reference Greek culture and Roman culture as theirs. But we don’t have the sense to see this.

They did not stop their culture. We might not see it because it is so omnipresent but the White American like the White Jew is European in every sense that matters. Unlike the black Americans, they are a European transplanted still rooted in Greco-Roman culture. I do not know how many times they would have to say this when they say Judeo-Christian culture = the Western paradigm.

1. The name of the ethnic group would have been an endonym and not an exonym, these are just examples to make a point).  Ethnic groups are not permanent, especially over 3000 years. The suggested admixture is total nonsense because every ethnic group at some point had to come from somewhere. The people of Southern Africa are an admixture of indigenous Khoi and Bantu-speaking farmers. I am not sure when a black African ethnic group entered the historical record as a scientific fact. But it seems to emerge, perfectly, with the separation of Egypt from Africa: When they discovered Axum it happened again. When they discovered Great Zimbabwe it almost happened again: Arabs built it.

   I guess the lady above is not black. So while Europeans and Asians can have admixture, blacks must be 100%? Not, when they break in a house, then they can be diverse and include admixture. It is odd to me that if Abmixture is such an issue then why are African Americans black? Can you imagine going through Asia and trying to discuss who is really Asian and who is mixed heritage? What about Spanish or Italians or even Arabs? Is there such a thing a pure Arab, or pure European? The world is one big admixture! And it is strange that despite the epic diversity within ethnic groups— such as Zulu and Amahara people come and play dumb about African diversity.
