13407961, *identifying as Blizzack.* 'Africa' not even African, and it is Posted by poetx, Tue Oct-13-20 12:21 AM
non-specific.
If I knew specifically that I was Igbo, or Yoruba, Wolof, any of the other myriad people groups, i'd rep that.
If I knew that i came from a particular geographic area, i'd rep that.
what's the actual etymology of Alkebulan?
KMT is land of the Blacks.
nah. frfr, i'm good on what people wanna call themselves. the claiming of 'Africa' is similar to the claiming and repping of 'Black' as an empowering, de-stigmatizing move.
i feel like Black do what it need to do and is contextually expansive and specific (can reference the entire diaspora or refer to the af-am experience).
peace & blessings,
x.
