As a major force behind the modern Pan-African movement and one of the founders in 1963 of the OAU, Nyerere was a key figure in African events in the 1970s. He was a strong advocate of economic and political measures in dealing with the apartheid policies of South Africa. #JuliusNyerere TheJNLC #africa #panafrican #eastafrica #panafricanism #eastafrican #tanzania #kenya #uganda #rwanda #daressalaam #eac #nairobi #zanzibar #africandiaspora #africanhistory #nyerere https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWUWKQqHJG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Why do people like to minimise the effects of the Slave Trade on pre colonial Africa's political and social activities considering that the slave trade lasted 400 years??

Short Answer: White people minimize the effects because their wealth and power is rooted in Colonization and Slavery and they wish to perpetuate the myth that their wealth is rooted in innovation and good governance. Fully acknowledging he effects would also demonstrate the enormous dept the West owes to Africa and Africans; it would explode the lie that Africa and Africans are in debt to our White oppressors. Black people minimize the effects because of the pain and shame we feel having been colonized and enslaved. Also, acknowledging our oppression leaves us in the position of challenging it or admitting that we are willing to summit to it; minimizing & denial allows us to submit to White Hegemony and Oppression while pretending that were striving, succeeding, and advancing in our personal lives.

On this day of the gutting of #AffirmativeAction, advocacy and a few other things-here's a thought about the Atheist "Community" as I've experienced it:

(1) "Community” is not having a few drinks and laughs together at a conference or rally. (2) When a person is perceived as “useful”, people will cover-up for them. When they are not, they will be treated with indifference. (3) The George Floyd & "BLM" social justice wave provided non-profits everywhere a platform of opportunism disguised as care.

____________

So many thoughts worth comment on regarding blatant hypocrisy of the formalized Secular Humanist & Atheist Community-especially concerning its use of Black people for #DEI bona fides. However in general, this one resonates with me the most:

-> Opportunism disguised as "care" is not "community".

I had no idea that is where sorrel came from… wow!!! Repost from @plants.and.culture • Happy Juneteenth, everybody! Whether we’re in North America sippin on a customary Juneteenth red drink, stirring up Caribbean sorrel, cooling down with an agua de Jamaica in Mexico, or enjoying vinagreira in Brazil, we can know that these drinks connect the far-reaching diaspora to ancestral Africa. ** Ya sea que estemos en América del Norte sorbiendo una bebida roja habitual del Día de Junio, agitando una acedera caribeña, refrescándonos con un agua de Jamaica en México, o disfrutando de la vinagreira en Brasil, podemos saber que estas bebidas conectan la diáspora de largo alcance con el África ancestral. 🎥 “How to Make Ghana’s / Africa’s MOST FAVORITE DRINK || Hibiscus drink || Sobolo” by Tatiana Haina 2021 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NXIyrmr5XBk #juneteenth #juneteenthcelebration #juneteenth2022 #hibiscus #sorrel #sorreldrink #aguadejamaica #bissap #hibiscustea #roselle #rosellehibiscus #africandiaspora #plantbased #emancipation #slavery #africancuisine #africanfood #africanculture #plantsofinstagram #flowersofinstagram #flowerstagram #knowwhatyoueat #flowers #hibiscusflower #blackhistory #blackculture #blackculturematters #crossculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CfA9jDuMVnQeypYUl9b1ttKdFf1t8Fv-mX3p5c0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's August 31st, 2022, the second annual ✊🏿 International Day for People of African Descent. The United Nations had already proclaimed 2015-2024 as the International Decade for People of African Descent, but in its wisdom additionally created this annual day of observance to ensure we continue to honour the contributions of the African diaspora around the world long after this decade is over.

If you believe your life's purpose is to make the world a better place, then it's your duty as a Human Being to join the United Nations, not only in words, but in actions, as we strongly condemn the continuing violent practices and excessive use of force by law enforcement agencies against Africans and people of African descent and the institutional racism embedded in criminal justice systems around the world. We must acknowledge to ourselves and to future generations that the Transatlantic Slave Trade was one of the darkest chapters in our human history. We must uphold human dignity and equality for the victims of slavery and colonialism – in particular descendants of the African diaspora. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
