I have often seen brothers so eager to rid themselves of their european slavemaster name that they rush and adopt a arab slavemaster name.
I reject the term Negro, Nigger, Pygmy, Hottennot, Hamite and all other racist/ignorant names for I. I reserve the right to determine how i should be addressed. I AM AN AFRIKAN, know I
Islamic names have nothing to do with Negroid people from sub-Saharan Afrika. In fact these Arabs dealt in the enslavement of Negroid Afrikans -
and still do-, so it makes no sense to take their names instead of European ones! We must be alert and realize the manipulative games the Arabs are playing on Negroid Afrikans. Abdalla El Turabi once said this about the Arab ambitions in Africa, "If Europe could scramble for Africa (in the 19th. Century), why not the Arabs (in this century)?"
Afrika is now under Arab pseudo-colonial control and is at beck and call of the Arabs for support in any international arenas. Even at the conferences Afrika we see Negroid Afrikans rallying behind "Free Palestine" posters, but no "Free Sudan or Mauriatania" posters. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic[smiley=sad2.gif]…
We live in a world that is dominated and controlled by white supremacy, with total disregard for people of Negroid Afrikan descent. I would suggest every Black Afrikan who has no direct family link to Afrika, even after research, to find an Afrikan person worth of respect like a spiritual leader, a doctor or whatever. Ask them if they would mind helping you to find an Afrikan name, they most likely would be honored. Pick a Central or West African name, as that is where the majority of Europeans and Arabs slave traders went to capture or buy other humans.
Let’s regain our Afrikan names and reconnect with the PAST...for our children and for ourselves
