Gil Noble - Like It Is: COINTELPRO [1980]

Dr Muhammad Arabi, Faruk KA Ghafar and other Black Egyptians break down the Afrikanity of ancient Kemet

Ancient Kemet's legacy is often misrepresented as Eurocentric depictions overshadow its true origins. However, evidence suggests that the ancient Kemites were predominantly of Black African descent. Physical anthropology, art, language, culture, and genetic studies support this claim. Its people exhibited a range of skin tones, including darker shades seen in Black Africans. Challenging colonial narratives, modern research aims to rectify historical inaccuracies. Modern Kemet remains a diverse nation, with a significant population of Black Egyptians continuing their cultural legacy. Acknowledging the Black African roots of ancient Kemet fosters a more inclusive understanding of human history and celebrates the rich diversity of humanity.

Non-African Linguists be like “This is a new way to quote!”
Abstract:
While conventional wisdom tells us that Asante Twi complementizer sɛ is derived from se 'say' (Amfo, 2010; E. Kweku Osam, 1994; E Kweku Osam, 1996), it is at least worth considering that understanding it as connected to homophone and homonym sɛ 'be like, resemble' would, indeed, be like the Black English way of quoting as noted by Lord (1993:151). The complementizer sɛ is typically glossed as ‘that.’ However, a corpus-based analysis of Asante Twi’s perhaps not-so-distant cousin, Black English, may point us to a more accurate alternative gloss, ‘(be) like’. It has been found that “‘be like’ is now so widely used it accounted for 20 percent of similar uses of the verb ‘be’ among a group of young AAE speakers in North Carolina” (Peterson, 2015). Asante Twi may help us understand the variable context in which aspectual/habitual be is found and also the varied context in which like is found, both of which linguists have found to be “notoriously difficult” to understand against the backdrop of European-descended varieties of English (Hofwegen & Farrington, 2015). We argue that Asante Twi sɛ is glossed as ‘that’, not from language-internal evidence, but because of recourse to glossing into “Standard English” rather than Black English which, in actuality, may be more reflective of what is going on in African languages and vice-versa. The connection between Black English be like and Asante Twi sɛ form may be a case of a common African (diasporan and continental) solution to a common linguistic problem.

Logic is a method of reasoning that involves a series of statements, each of which must be true if the statement before it is true. In this video, we dive into the fascinating world of African philosophy, shedding light on its unique system of logic known as 'Ezumezu'. Often overshadowed by Western theoretical frameworks, Ezumezu presents a non-conventional approach to understanding logical reasoning, highlighted by cultural nuances and rich historical contexts. It is not a lecture, but more of an aerial view.Throughout this immersive journey, you will witness the efforts made by African philosophers to unravel the indigenous wisdom embedded within Ezumezu and the critical role it continues to play in facilitating fruitful intercultural communication, irrespective of evolving global landscapes.Pack your curiosity and join us as we traverse into the heart of Africa, unlocking hidden layers of knowledge and gaining insights about the logical constructs deeply entrenched within African societies. Expect to gain a fresh perspective on logic and reasoning, all the while treading paths significant to the tapestry of African philosophy and history.Remember to comment, like, and subscribe if you find this content intriguing, and don't hesitate to join discussions in the comment section. I value your insights, and together, let us piece together the pictures painted by African history, philosophy, and the allure of Ezumezu.

Conservation agriculture; a farming technique, that's not only raising harvest-yeilds, but is also raising the quality of life, for the small-scale farmers, who use it. Jiitu Abraham was recently in Zambia and got the chance, to speak, with one farmer... who was able to change her own life and the lives of her children, by switching her farming-practice.
