The Glory of Africa Part 4
Blood, sweat, and tears consist of the large portions of my black African heritage. Additionally, triumph above obstacles, supreme accomplishments, creativity (as a part of soul), and the firm keen glow of Black Love are keen components included in real Black Afrikan Culture as well. Not, I've written on a wide spectrum of issues that deal with my own people. This work will do it again. This article will exist in a more inspirational or positive framework. Problems will never be omitted here, but solutions will transpire here though. Hope will be presented here since the clear understanding of hope equates into a chance of true justice. When hope is mixed with dedicated forthright action will make necessary answers or solutions an actuality. In our generation, the real, glorious truth about the contributions of Black People is readily known. From ancient Egypt to the modern atmosphere of the 21st century, those of us of Black African descent have instituted a huge difference within world history& human culture. The people residing in the Motherland of Africa acuminate diversity, strength, intelligence, and a real, unique essence of humanity. Diverse, interesting, and captivating are accurate words to define the wildlife, flora, and fauna residing in Africa. I still believe in the Most High. Frankly, we are thinking in more mature terms. Our issues aren't just national; they are internationally since there are black people worldwide going to the similar issues. Fighting for our human rights is sincerely a moral imperative. Our legacy is Africa's legacy since all humankind has had its origin from the Motherland of Africa. In my heart, there is a beat of what's real, transparent, and without equivocation. The social confines of this world should be challenged since the world isn't perfect. Insight, true heart or compassion, empathy, and a dedication for justice are necessary prerequisites for authentic improvement among my own people. We are all mortal, but our mortality isn't an excuse to lack improvement for ourselves. Our mortality is an awe inspiring witness for us to shout out the glory of Africa and to keep transversing forward in a true direction. Also, I believe in intellectual pursuits since we need it in this era of time. A lot of brothers and sisters are moving down South that I've noticed. Even in the place I work in Virginia (where I'm from), I've seen a sister from New Jersey and another sister from New York working in my occupation. So, life and cultural dynamics are changing in the world. As for the black people in the West Coast, we will always have your back. You know how the media and other reactionary factions try to slander you brothers and sisters from the West, but we know the truth. The truth is that the vast majority of black people in California and throughout the West just like the rest of us (in the South, East, and Midwest) are true, want to do the right thing, and legitimately seek real justice for all black people.
I still remember my legacy and I am not ashamed of what I look like. I am not ashamed of my heritage and I am not ashamed of God. I will keep on living with a positive attitude and even more focused inspiration to promote liberty, truth, and a true legacy for my own people. We survived some of the worst treatment in history to be lawyers, teachers, musicians, authors, althetes, scholars, political leaders, theologians, and other great people of history. I'm thankful of the great black legacy in history.
The Recall of Ancient, Real African History
Ancient African History is real. There are tons of books that teach on this subject. I think you know instinctively where I'm going with this. There has always been a strong Black African presence all over Africa and beyond across the globe even in the ancient times. There were complex civilizations that black people created during the Neolithic age of human history as well. Now, about 40,000 to 15,000 years ago, the rains slowed down in the Sahara. Sahara began to dry up, because the environment changed and the Sahara became a desert. People started to migrate to water centers like the Nile and the Niger rivers. There is a prehistoric cave showing a painting of black people in the Western desert of Egypt. Collective knowledge for fishing, hunting, and other skills developed among thousands of years in Africa. The River Valley civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China were created because humans wanted urbanization, collective resources into an area, and to protect themselves from the harsh conditions of surrounding areas. There was the Qadan culture in Africa from 13,000 to 9,000 B.C. The Bardari and Amratian culture ruled in Upper Egypt during prehistoric times as well. When you look at the totality of the ancient Egyptian civilization, you see mixed or diverse phenotypes & genotypes, yet still a strong Black
African Negroid presence all over the land as well.
African Negroid presence all over the land as well.
The Great Sphinx of Gaza is a huge motiff of ancient Egyptian culture. W.E.B. DuBois have claimed that the Sphinx is a statue of a black person. One of the earliest known descriptions of a "Negroid" Sphinx is recorded in the travel notes of a French scholar, who visited in Egypt between 1783 and 1785. Constantin-François Chassebœuf and French novelist Gustave Flaubert. Flauberttraveled to Egypt in 1849 and recorded the following observation:....We stop before a Sphinx; it fixes us with a terrifying stare. Its eyes still seem full of life; the
left side is stained white by bird-droppings (the tip of the Pyramid of Khephren has the same long white stains); it exactly faces the rising sun, its head is grey, ears very large and protruding like a negro's, its neck is eroded; from the front it is seen in its entirety thanks to great hollow dug in the sand; the fact that the nose is missing increases the flat, Negroid effect. Besides, it was certainly Ethiopian; the lips are thick…" (Gustave Flaubert, Francis Steegmüller (1996). Flaubert in Egypt, ISBN 9780140435825)

The Ethnic Diversity of Africa
You really can't get a fuller picture of Africa without learning about the tribes and ethnic diversity of Africa. Learning the ethncities of Africa is one quick way to further comprehend the dynamic history of the Africa. People can't really know about Africa in general without learning about its diverse ethnic groups. They are spread across from Egypt to the tip of Southern Africa. Many researchers divide the ethnic groups of Africa into Central Africa, East Africa, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, Southern Africa, and West Africa. The ethnic
groups of Africa exist in the hundreds. They each have their own language and dialect of a language plus a culture. There is the Hausa ethnic group that is about 30 million people. They exist in Western Africa (like Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire), Chad, and Sudan. There are Arabic people in Africa number is about 100 million people and the Berbers are in about 65 million human beings as well. Let it be known though that Black Africans existed in Africa long before any other people step foot in Africa. People can take that statement how they want to since it's the truth. The truth is real. Scholars know about the Oromo in Ethiopia and Kenya that number about 30 million people. The Horn of Africa has tons of tribes and ethnicities. They are of course the Amhara, the Somali, the Afari, and other grups of people. They speak with the languages of Amharic, Oromo, and other languages. I have seen black people from the Horn of Africa in America in the Universities, restaurants, and working jobs here in Hampton Roads, Virginia. A lot of people neglect the ethnic diversity of Southern Africa as well. There are about 10.6 million Zulus and Shona. The Zulu live mostly in South Africa and the Shona live in Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The Zulu fought to equal rights for a long time in the Southern part of Africa. Many Southern African peoples existed from the Bantu migrations that came from Western Africa thousands of years before the birth of Christ. The Bantu's core language is called the Niger-Congo language family (which is situation in modern day Cameroon and Eastern Nigeria). The Bantu peoples make up about 1/3 of all Africa's over 1 billion total population.

African Legends
One of the greatest legends of the Motherland of Africa was Miriam Makeba. She lived from March 4, 1932 to November 10, 2008. She had a fruitful life and her legacy is respected by a whole bunch of people worldwide. She's admired by me and other all across the world of every background. She is famous of using music to not only document the struggles of her people, but to enlighten all peoples that it is legitimate to actively fight against injustice using the arts, music, and any other adequate efforts. She was born in Prospect Township, which is found in Johannesburg, South Africa. In the 1960's, she was the first person to popularize African music in the U.S. and around the world. She is known for many songs like of course Pata Pata (that was first recorded in 1957, yet it was released in America in 1967). She was friends with many people like the artists Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, and her former husband Hugh Masekela. These people are known in my parent's generation since they are Baby Boomers. Miriam Makeba constantly fought against the evil system of apartheid in South Africa. That is why the South African government in that time revoked her citizenship and right of return. She passed away in the realm of always fighting for justice. Before she died, she supported the author Roberto Saviano (he was anti-Camorra. The Camorra is a mafia like group local to the region of Campania). Miriam sang with the Manhattan Brothers and the all women group called the Skylarks. She was in the Come Back, Africa, which was an anti-apartheid documentary. It was produced and directed by Lionel Rogosin (or the American independent filmmaker). Makeba was mentioned in the documentary and she attended the premiere of the film in the 24th edition of the Venice Film Festival in Italy where the documentary won the prestigious Critics's Award. Harry Belafonte and other helped her to gain entry into America. Her mother passed away in 1960. The world helped her out when South African revoked her citizenship. In 1962, she met President John F. Kennedy. Her 1963 album The World of Miriam was released in 1963, which was her 2nd studio album for RCA. She won the Grammy Award for Best Folk Recording in 1966. She made tons of well known music like Malika. She once married the Trinidadian civil rights activist, Black Panther, and once SNCC leader Kwame Ture in 1968. The couple moved to Guinea and lived there for the next 15 years. She was separated from Kwame Ture in 1973. She returned home to South Africa in June 10, 1990 on her French passport. This was after Nelson Mandela was released from Victor Verster Prison in Paarl in February 11, 1990. She worked in shows and movies. She also promoted help for those suffering from HIV/AIDS, child soldiers, and the physically handicapped. Certainly, you can't mention anything about South African culture and South African history without mentioning the truth about Miriam Makeba.
One of the greatest heroes of black history is a great Sister named Henrietta Vinton Davis. He lived a long life from 1860 to 1941. She was born in Baltimore. She became an actress and an elocutionist. She traveled all over America and the Caribbean to perform plays, Shakespeare, and other performances. She performed the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar. When Henrietta was young, her step father named George A. Hackett (a great black leader in Baltimore) would have his home be a meeting place for prominent leaders of civil rights. These people include Frederick Douglass, Henry H. Garnet, Peter H. Clark, and the noted philanthropist, Stephen Smith. Douglass often conversed with Davis and undoubtedly shared with her many of his views on race questions. Black and white audiences respected her work. Henrietta was a lifelong friend of Frederick Douglass. Booker T. Washington, I F. Aldridge, and Bishop Henry M. Turner spoke highly of Henrietta Vinton Davis. From 60 years old to the day her passing away, she promoted activism. She worked with Marcus Garvey and his UNIA organization. The UNIA stood for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Marcus Garvey of course promoted Black Nationalism and pan-African liberation. She met Garvey during the early 20th century and Henrietta Vinton Davis was one of the 13 original members of the UNIA. Marcus Garvey and Henrietta Vinton Davis readily taught black people in New York and across the nation about love for their people and love for the Motherland of Africa. Davis was very popular in many locations from Kansas City, Baltimore, Cuba, Newark, etc. She was one of the signers of the Declaration of Rights for Negroes on August 13, 1920. During the next twelve years, Davis served as international organizer, first and fourth assistant president-general, delegate to Liberia, and secretary-general. She used her great oratorical skills to reach people. People were attracted to her message being that she was a famous actress during that era. She promoted Black Nationalist causes until she died in 1941 (although she had a falling out with Garvey). Even in the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s, she wrote letters in support of the interests of black people. In the 1930’s, she worked to give black Americans jobs and the promotion of civil rights. Henrietta Vinton Davis loved her people and was the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual link between the era of Frederick Douglas and the era of Marcus Garvey. Without the sister Henrietta, Garvey’s reach would have been limited in what can be achieved.

Black People in the Disapora and Beyond
Regardless of where we live, we are still Africans. We are of black African descent. The Black Diaspora is one of the most vital portions of the black cultural experience. Brothers and sisters worldwide regardless of where we live are one period.The Black African Diaspora didn't just end in the Western Hemisphere. The Diaspora has existed from migration of black people throughout the world not just via slavery. There are almost 200 million people of Black African descent in the Western Hemisphere alone. There are more black people in Brazil than in America frankly. There are almost 86 million black people in Brazil and about 40 million black people in America. America has thesecond highest number of the black Diaspora in the world. Then (in order of the highest to lowest number of people of black African descent), it's Colombia, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, France, Jamaica, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, Cuba, over 1 million black people in Italy, Peru, Canada, Ecuador, Trinidad and Tobago, and other nations. Showing historical facts about the evils of white supremacy and wanting justice progressively shown in the world are real actions that doesn't deal with immoral begging. It deals with human common sense and real human responses against injustice. Calling for legitimate greivances is apart of the freedom of speech as well.
There is the Black Book written by Middleton A. Harris and other people. There is the 35th anniversary of the book that shows articles, poetry, and tons of other information about the
history of Africa and the Black Diaspora. It's a hardback book and the book is mostly in black and white (with some color images). The book shows quilts made by our ancestors who enslaved in our nation. The "Face of Our Past" book shows the history of black females in America from the colonial period to the present. The book presents tons of images, pictures, and other forms of literature. It describes stories of black women in America. It shows great black women. This history is pretty much our own history since they reflect the dignity, strength, and equality of our own strong black heritage. The sister with the YouTube title of EbonyNewsChannel mentioned these 2 books on You tube. These books remind me of the need to promote more black unity among black men and black women. I do believe in treating all human beings the same without malice or unjust hatred, On the other hand, I don't need something new and I don't need something else when the original Black female Queen is the true beauty that fulfills my heart as a black man completely. I'm sticking by my people. So, now, it's certainly time to educate, edify, be strong, and carry forward in life with a dedication of self preservation and spiritual growth. ....

Some have traveled into Europe, Asia, and throughout the world. This unique information ought to be known purely. There are Afro-Turks or people of black African descent in Turkey. This is some new information that I haven't realized before until recently in 2011. Some of the Africans were sent to Turkey via the Ottoman slave trade. Yes, the Ottoman Empire had a slave trade historically. They came from Zanzibar, Niger, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Kenya, and Sudan. Some black soldiers were in the Ottoman army as early as the Austro-Turkish war of 1716-1718 (that used 24,000 men from Africa). Today, Afro-Turks existed heavily in the Aegean Region like Izmir, Aydin, and Mugla. There were Afro-Turks from the districts of Ortaca, Dalaman, and Koycegiz gathering in Ortaca to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Oama. There are people with black African ancestry living in some villages and municipalities of Antalya and Adana provinces. Some live in larger cities. Famous black Turks are Defne Joy Foster, Esmeray, Tugce Guder, Ahmet Kostarika, Sibel Surel, and other people. ....

The 21st Century World in Africa
The 21st century in Africa is an unique time in world history in general. Africa has 54 sovereign nations. Some of these nations have had their borders drawn up during the era of European colonialism (that overlaps the boundaries of certain tribes or ethnic groups). The world is more complex. There are good and bad news in Africa today. There are issues of corruption, authoritarianism, HIV/AIDS, poverty, wars (even among religious and ethnic groups), violence, neo-imperialism by the West and other nations, and other problems (even the West supported assassinations in Africa against popular black leaders in Africa. The IMF has its history of corruption in Africa too). There are shining examples of environments in Africa also. From 1995 to 2005, Africa's rate of economic growth has increased to average to 5% in 2005. Higher growth rates have accused in Angola, Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea. All 3 have begun to extract their petroleum reserves or expanded their oil extraction capacity. A lot of the African population is made of young people who are younger than 30 years old. Ghana's President John Agyekum Kufuor and Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva have received the World Food Prize for what the prize citation called "visionary leadership" in reducing poverty and malnutrition. Kufuor lead a huge effort in reducing hunger and poverty in Ghana in the past decade. Political leaderships in Africa are doing their part to fight against poverty and malnutrition in the Motherland of Africa. During Mr. Kufuor's eight-year term, Ghana became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to cut the percentage of hungry people by more than half from 1990 levels. Economic reforms targeting the agricultural sector helped boost the country's economy substantially. And a successful school meal program reaches more than a million primary school children in a country of about nine million kids. There is new renewable technologies that are found in Senegal. There are grassroots women politicians growing in Zambia. Mirriam Kauseni wants to be her town's first ever female Parliamentarian. She is telling people to vote for her in the country's national elections. She is a resident of Mansa in the northern province of Laupula.
Somaliland has improved its literacy and matures politically. It celebrates its 20 yearsof independence. The Republic of Somaliland has made key improvement in health,education, and infrastructure in the past two decades. The President of the nationis Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Silanyo. Efforts in reconciliation, nation-building and drafting a new constitution have helped promote peace in the region, Siilanyo said. "We have put in place a new currency and passport, encouraged democratization and multi-party elections; improved access to healthcareand education, respect for human rights, freedom of expression and facilitateda free market," he said. The Deputy Nimo Hussein Qawdhan is the DeputyHealth Minister of Somaliland. He said that the maternal mortality rate was 1,600 deaths per 100,000 women in 1991, compared with 1,044 per 100,000 in2006. The region's child mortality rate was 275 in 1990, falling to 188 in 1999, then to 166 in 2006, "signifying a very significant decrease, when compared to world standards", Qawdhan said. Qawdhan said Somaliland had also made gains in the fight against malaria. The past two years have seen the region become almost malaria-free, Qawdhan said. Mine safety has greatly improved in the world. 506 primary schools are all over the nation. A constitution and peace is in the nation as well. According to the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report for 2011, the African economy is growing in many respects.
Conclusion
Since people love the issues about life, I will speak
my mind on various issues. I will always support black people forever. I'm for black people worldwide. Fake people and racists may issue surface friendlessness. They love the Amerikkkan, Eurocentric system filled with materialism, silliness, discrimination, hostile social bigotry against those who are different (or hate those that don't fit some stereotypical image) and other evils like true mental slaves. Yet, have these people placed under pressure and catch them in action in certain places, they pull off their masks. We shouldn't go into the lowest common denominator and act like these fake people. We should rise above inherit temptation and promote respect for humanity and strength. We support sisters and we support brothers with rigor and zeal completely. This is a part of a wider strategy of all of us to stand up for the truth. There is mutual equal value among us despite our emotional, personality, and physical differences. I don't believe in expressing hatred against a person who is different from me in any shape or form. People are right to promote unity among black men and black women. I'm going to keep on promoting this truth until I pass away. This is important for legacy building. We should pass on our culture to future generations. Our cultural integrity is important too. That means having food recipes, wedding actions, showing pictures, developing more cultural traditions, and other family traditions ought to be shown in order for our cultural vitality to remain strong. The ironic thing is that other people would respect if you possess that love for your own people and among all peoples. We're all human beings and all human beings (regardless of the pain from the world. We should maintain our legitimate moral sensibilities to enact precise, authentic compassion toward those suffering in the world) deserves dignity, respect, true equality, and justice. I will never fall for mind games for I am a strong black man that knows my history and culture unashamedly. Negative images shown about blacks by the mainstream media is evil and wrong. That is why we should promote our own image. We should oppose economic exploitation of Africa in trying to steal their mineral wealth as done by the World Bank, IMF, etc. (when these Euro imperialists stole land and raped the continent of Africa). The legitimate actions of intellectual pursuits, humor, athletics & fitness, engineering, science, government, history, science, any building or mechanical endeavor, and a wide spectrum of topics ought to be firmly promoted in our communities.

That is why it's common sense to praise black women as Queens and to respect black men as Kings. We should fight against the white supremacists' goals of the emusculation of black men and the sexual exploitation plus demonization of black women.
When I'm getting older, my tolerance level increases and you devise a keen insight of the goings on in the world. With that insight will comes a responsibility for people in our shoes to educate people, fight injustice, and to value the essence of black power. This is why one secret in life is to get a job, but long term, own your own business. In that fashion, you own your own operation, the wealth benefits you and your people, and you can help your own people more efficiently. Now, real world experience is important to gain investments in business, stocks, commodities, and other assets. We should be investors. When you own your own (with your own investments helping our people), you become self sufficient. In the information age, we have to use adjustments since in the final analysis; we have to care for our own interests. It's common sense for black Americans especially to build an economic power base to create wealth and use this wealth to help black people (in the Americas, the Caribbean, Africa, and all over the world). That's common sense instead of begging and integrating with a beast system. So, the selfish, individualist and materialistic type of House Negroes (that demonize their own people that are different. These people can't intimidate me since I'm black, I'm strong, and I'm intelligent to know my own culture and destiny like a man. I hold my own and look at these haters in their eyes with full eye contact straight up). I have no respect for any evil at all. I have respect for a black man and black women that wants unity, economic empowerment, pan African economic & political power, that isn't prejudice or materialistic, and genuinely desires tons of improvements for black people in general. Forget greed and selfishness since it's time for us to give back to our communities like men and like women. When you see tornadoes killing people and destroying property, now certainly isn't the time to hate your fellow man. You want to use education (in any legitimate way) in order to bring real skills to benefit your family, your community, and your people. We have to take advantages of the freedoms that are ancestors or forefathers didn't have. So, a man should act like a man and a woman should act like a woman. It's fine to love Black Love without unjust hatred and bigotry. So, we have to use logic. We have to be meek like sheep and strong like a lion. You don't let your enemy see your total weakness, but you use unique tactics in displaying your strength to benefit your own people. Fundamentally, all human beings deserve respect, equality, and justice.
