Who Is a Black Person: Defining a people
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 кві 2024
- We will examine the term "Black" as an identity, exploring its origins, significance, and evolution among individuals of African descent.
Many people might think that the concept of Black identity first emerged during the slave trade and colonial times due to the way others saw people of African descent.
However, the roots of identifying as Black go much further back in history.

Am proudly black and beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Am proud to be from the motherland ❤❤❤❤
After watching and reading the comments, my heart just aches because it is 2024 and we still are trying to figure out who we are as a race of people. I love who I am as a black woman. African American or whatever else society sees me as, whenI look in the mirror at myself I see a beautiful 74 year old woman who is very proud of her black southern roots and those beautiful black southern women that raised me along with the rest of my family. The knowledge that I received when I read this history makes me feel very proud to be a part of the wonderful, knowledgeable, loving black community that I was raised in and still am a part of. Thank you for sharing this glorious history of our people.
Sister you are am Israelite .
Real Black Truth. The Black race was the original race of the planet.

@@RuralmoneyOfficial DNA data and Genetic analysis proves the fact that the Black race is the original race of the planet.
You are right well said. That's why they continue to try to erase us from history, but they can not because they can't stop God.the universe 😊
Black, White, Brown, Tan or whatever, those aren't races.
There is not a sufficient taxonomic difference amongst homo sapiens to suggest a classification, subspecies, race or breed.
@erichwentz2866 Actually their are differences in races. The Arabs and White race enjoyed using Blacks as Slaves for hundreds of years in support of their gutter Religion.
…say it loud i’m Black and Proud 💪🏿💯✔️👑…

Nature created humans. Humans created race.
I remember my dad told me to be proud of my heritage. My mom permed my hair and I was very defiant about my hair that at age 19 I changed my hair back to natural in 2008 ( trust me the hate I get for having a beautiful Afro was not necessary). It's because my father's love for his family of who they looked like that he said be proud of myself as well. This is way before I moved to America in 1999. Yes before the programming racism started to be truly hits my family sense of value and moral. I still have a defiant spirit.
Remember the paper brown test is still effective today, my people.
Powerful story. Thanks for sharing.
How do you turn your hair back to natural
Brown is just a beautiful shade of black.
Here in Africa we remain with the shackles of our colonizers borders. Once we break free from these oppressive chains that artificially divide us, then will we echo the words "Free at last, thank God we are free at last". UNITED FEDERATION OF AFRICAN STATES. Come on Africa we can do this!!
The Black race is the mark of the divine.

In the wake of so many different groups that are within our own collective, whose purpose is to diminish, destroy and replace us identifying as black, this video is inspiring, supportive and well received by me. It is my delight to see others that fully comprehend how important it is that Black always remain a part of our identuty. Ashe
The majority of Black Africans identify under a tribal name, but the concept of "Blackness" is understood in Ancient Africa. It's not a "cursed "color. It's a sacred one.
Black Birthed The 1st Creation. It's the divine essence of God.

The name Afruika originated with the Ancient Egyptians. In the ancient Egyptian language "Af-rui-ka" means "the turn toward the opening of the Ka". The Ka is the spiritual double of any person. The ancient Egyptians believed that every person is born with 2 souls, so when a person dies they put food in his grave because his Ka feeds on it. Thus, the opening of the Ka or the origin of the KA means "birth". Thus, "Af-rui-ka" in the Egyptian ancient language means "the birthplace." Since Africa is the birthplace of all human beings.
This is correct and needs to be emphasized 👍🏽👌🏾🤙🏽✊🏾
This is the explanation by Gerald Massey “Books of the Beginnings” - give credits where credits are due.
Humans are just that - earthlings with multiple skin colors.
The original 'angels" in Egypt had black skin - it was considered "Beautiful" to be a black skinned human being!.
Greeks worshiped black Egyptian gods.
Christianity originated in black Ethiopia.
First Christian, Jewish as well as Muslim leaders/prophets/priest were black africans.
Canaan was originally black - so were the Jews (Heberu, Hexu)
Origins of us is -- BLACK skin.
thank you
No. Canaan himself was never black and never produced any black race at all. He also never migrated to Africa, either.
@@shiwadaay07 Yes, open a map of 2nd - first millenniums BC. Canaan was a part of the ancient egyptian empire.
@@shiwadaay07 yes, read up on history.
It' still is wonderful, that skin color is the Bomb 💣💣💣
@@bobbkg762 the "bomb" is human ignorance and angry stupidity, skin shade/color is not the issue!

I love the video. I would love to see a video on Liberia. A lot of US are not aware how connected Liberia and black people in the United States are.
I have held off on releasing it due to its sad ending. Especially Tolbert and Doe. Liberia should have been a success. I will certainly publish it at some point.

yow i just want to reinforce what Juanita Graves has said that, This is 2024 and we are still trying to figure out who we are as a race of people. yow i definitely believe that we should do better than that, because we are the best of all the nations of this earth, there is no doubt about that i wish if my skin tone was Blacker like charcoal. think about our melanin, other races would love to have that. i am so proud to be Black and me not turning back thank u Juanita i am so proud of you, i Love you always. also i Love Africans all over the globe
Thanks sooo very much for sharing this information! Loved the video!!!❤️❤️❤️
Nice 👍
His-story proves that whenever someone "defines" you, they also "confine" you. One of the most important innerstandings I continue to learn is to be Aware of "What I Am," instead of society's labels of "who I am." Anybody can define a person as a 'who,' but they can't definitively define a person as a "what," albeit they will try hard too. Sounds crazy, but it's real, at least, to me.

Love this video!!! Amazing information.. keep it coming
Thank you! Will do!
All you need to know is black or white is not referring to your skin color. Look up the exchange between Steven biko and the judge at his trial in the 1970s
Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Powerful!!! If it could be purchased, I would invest...❤ Praise God! Thank you!
I am black and proudly black
Fantastic
I have always wondered why there is the assumption that because the Europeans call the black people by derivative names that the names originated in Europe.
Has it ever occurred to anybody that the names originated from the black people and the Europeans adopted the names to their own language?
Nice 💪
Thanks 🔥
Shalom family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
ln Kalenjin an African tribe in Kenya, the word IMAN means TRUTH.

Everyone is Xenophobic, including you George
Thank you, very good background about black people. One thing I like to offer a correction on how blacks in Africa used to Call them self made, Fulane, Yoruba and Oromo?
The Oromos got this name in 1980 by a German priest. It is not driver from their language.
However, Oromo politician decided to change it from Galla to Oromo to hide the history of barbarian culture and build a fake and unknown identity to change the history associated with their real name.
There is a quote on the thumb nail. "You have no place in world history." Who made this statement?
That vermin called Hegel. You can see him in the thumbnail
Even today, all African societies have terms in their languages that mean black or dark or brown skinned people.
You can't define " Black" by the cultures of those who are " Black" it has to be investigated from a higher metaphysical level. " Black " people aren't a social construction by Man they're a creation from God.
God created us in His Image, black.
The narrative of African identity is not served when you skip over how tribes from Africa, who were kidnapped, first united in Ayiti (Hayti), lead by Boukman, Cecile Fatima, Dahomey women warriors, Toussaint, Dessalines... etc; to defeat the European powers - England, Spain, France and their mercenaries from Poland, America...etc.
Greetings. My only question is if the human species is conservatively estimated to be 180 millenia old, yet white people only 'appeared' no more than 5 millenia ago, how was 'black' as a skin tone distinguished? Rather, what was it distinguished against?
The above aside, the philosophies of Marcus Garvey and Cheikh Anta Diop are the most compelling to me: Garvey due to his understanding that we have only ourselves (black people) to depend on and cooperate actively with; and Diop for his assertions that we need to go back to the Nile Valley value system if we are to return to greatness.
Swahili is an unfortunate compromise, not a collaboration, because we're allowing Arabic language, therefore Arabic thought patterns, into our collective psyche. But if we view Swahili as a temporary measure, perhaps whilst broadening our understanding of Medu-Neter and perhaps Meroitic (a great undertaking indeed), we may be able to create an African identity. This would be better than a 'Black' identity, which, I feel, is reactionary as a response to a label (black) that may not have originated with us.
I admit possible flaws in my reasoning, but it's good for all of us to check our beliefs in order to sniff and snuff out anything unproven. Such was the way of Tehuti in the Hermopolis founding myth, no?
I have a question, lets say there is a very Dark-skinned person from India, as many Indians have very dark skin, but they are different from Africans in terms of skull shape and other things, would you count them under Black?
MARKUS GARVEY WAS FRIENDS WITH NOBLE DREW ALI ...AND NOBLE DREW LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I AM NOT BLACK I AM NOT COLORED I AM NOT UR NEGRO I AM ORGANIC TO THIS LAND ...THIS IS AN AWSOME VIDEO GREAT

When i say Black/African people the people who am talking about who are African's meaning people on the African continent and Black people that have a African bloodline running through their blood meaning Black people of the Diaspora of a African bloodline i am not talking people who are Black but are not off a African origin their are plenty of Black people that are not of African origin only Black/African people meaning people that are Black and of African origin specially in the Diaspora those Black/African people are the original Human Being's there are the first 1⃣ people the original there is no other original people only one and that is Black/African people
Black/African people original meaning no added and no preserves Pure, Raw uncut nothing added and nothing taking away
You don't accept Aboriginal Australians? I think they might count. Along with Andaman Islanders and some people in Melanesia
@salj.5459 yes if they have African blood running through them
@@petermorton301Yessss!❤
@@salj.5459Absolutely. They are the 12 Tribes, too.
BLACK AMERICANS AND THATS IT WITH OUT US THETERM BLACK WOULD NOT BE USED? Why would it be used otherwise and be accepted?
imo..i dont really care for the terminology as "black" its an adjective and used kinda dark in most like black balled and black mail black cat.... i dont care for African American either ..we been here ... if i gotta be described outside of a man then call me an Alkebulian
Grade 3 grammar the person cannot be a colour people have nationalities not colors. Also, the word black as a colour means to turn white to bleach a good dictionary look up for yourself and the bridge will be the best
I am an Isrealite.😊
Yes we're God's chosen people, sad to know our people don't know who they are, all because we have called so many derogatory names.
The torah says that YAHUAH he created us into his image and used the dirt my people please read the Torah Start there.
And Cain and Abel took their sisters and made babies with them.
You believe that ?
I believe those are the teachings that created this whole mess to begin with.
Cute story not to say some isn't true, however the story teller is leaving out the main truth and that is we were already here, the all so called black people of America weren't not from Africa, How convenient to leave out this main important truth, with a Endearing story, that hold a big missing character
All modern Humans derived from Africa, it’s the cradle of Human Evolution so even if people were never brought to America by colonialism they still migrated out of Africa according to the science and history of the evolution of our species.☮️
You are missing the point. The origin of the “black people” is from Africa. Although “black people” migrated across the world and settled in places such as America, the unity comes with “black people” being connected to their origin in Africa. No matter where they may be located throughout the diaspora. It is great to celebrate the many cultures and ethnic groups within our people such as the black natives of America, the rich history of the “African American,” Caribbean people, tribes of Africa and so on. But the foundation to our unity, political, economic and social development as a people must be rooted in the one thing all “black people” share which is our divine African origin.
What about brown people maybe if you call them brown peoples, they mite can relate to life better, 😇
How do you mean?
We are Americans. Dont have to put black in front of it.

This is social engineering and allot of propaganda
A lot of targeted social engineering based on authentic history.
Black literally means mixed of colour therefore Melan and is a reference to Melanesia "Black Islands".🧐
Kemet means Watchmen.
If there are Black Afrikans then it would be safe to they are Australs who settled in Afrika🧐.
Its really that simple
You are wrong on every count.
@@salj.5459 Sorry but I know this word in over 100 languages and it literally means mixed of color.
It comes from the word Melanated therefore Melan "Mixed" or Melangé.
Your Amerikan crap doesn't work for someone like me.
@@salj.5459 indiaans born in Afrika would be called Afrikaans.🧐
Therefore they would be Khoisan, Fulani, Benin, Hausa and one or two more tribes I can't think of right now.
They all would be Indo-Afrikaanse meaning aboriginies or Blacks.
No such thing as no mixed Black people to ever walk planet Earth because it would be a oxymoron.
And yes Kemet literally means Watchmen hence the reason for the All Seeing Eye
