california is the black american princess promised land

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

California, the name, has an extremely interesting etymology.

It's (probably) named after a mythical island paradise, where Black warrior women adorned in gold rode wild beasts, from the book The Adventures of Esplandián, published in 1510.

[Dwayne Wong @DOmowale]

This is what happens when people don't study their own history. There is a lengthy history of Black Americans being treated more favorably than in America than in Africa. For example, in Martin Delany's writings he mentions the treatment he recieved in Africa, especially the honor given to him by King Shita and the treaty for land that he made with Okukenu and other Egba rulers. Those who returned to Liberia were treated as long lost kin. John Robinson was able to establish a successful cotton business and school in Togo without fear of the locals trying to destroy it as was often done to Black American businesses. Malcolm X mentioned being more accepted by African audiences than he was by American audiences. Fannie Lou Hamer wrote about how she recieved an audience with President Sekou Toure in Guinea, even though the president of her own country ignored her.

Based on this history, why would Black Americans have more hatred for Africans who welcomed them as family than for a society which has always viewed Black Americans as sub-humans and second class citizens?

Because Bollywood films during this time were quite popular in Egypt and Sudan. I’m sure they tried to implement Bollywood aesthetics into their films like you can deny it. Even to the song numbers

[⭐️ @mikasgio]

There’s a myriad of incredibly disturbing videos of Chinese people abusing Black children—notably, majority taking place in African countries, and I’m sitting here reminded of just how defensive leftists get whenever you speak up about China’s neocolonialism in Africa
