Am I the only one offended by the black Avis in the store? and what about a Black History Month hunt I mean its not fair since almost every other Race had a hunt Like comment some ideas? (I'm not a newb I'm an alt)
Actually no I don't and that was actually an African hunt from a whole different Country? Plus it's Black history month Now!!
Kwanzaa definition: “Kwanzaa is a celebration held in the United States and in other nations of the African diaspora in the Americas and lasts a week.”
We had a kwanza side story this christmas and we have mainly poc avi’s for the entire month in the spinner. shut up pls.
You're 'African'-American Do you know what the first word in African American is? It's African. As soon as you lose that. As soon as you relinquish your link and identification with the country of Africa, you become American. Not African-American. I'm no expert on identity politics but I think that's how having a bivalent national identity works. Black History Fantastic. It is black history month. What times in the history of the higher concentration of melanin in someone's skin do we now showcase? 100,000BC-50,000BC? 50,000BC-20,000BC? 20,000BC-10,000BC? 10,000BC-5,000BC? 5,000BC-2,000BC? 2,000-1,000? 1000-0 0-100 100-200AD 200-500AD 500-1000AD 1000-2018AD? and on what region of the earth do we talk about? There are so many time/place combination, it sounds like too much to cover in just once month. ideas There is so much room and so much history to delve into. How could anyone encapsulate all of that into a hunt? Once upon a time, everyone on earth had dark skin. That sounds like an important time in the history of dark skin. I wonder why and when that changed. That would definitely be an interesting milestone. or maybe we can talk about the remote tribes in the Amazon who have lots of Melanin, and the Australian indigenous people, and the indigenous American people, and maybe also Arabia, and the contest between Islam and Christianity over the continent of Africa. Or the great enemies of those with darker skin in times of great stupidity, such as Albinos, and white people, whose religion, rudimentary understanding of biology, and political agendas drove them to see black people as inferior, and see their slavery as permissible when enslaving others who are considered 'human' would not be. Or maybe we could talk about the slave traders in Africa with their dark complexion, and the class struggle within societies of predominantly dark skin, or of Apartheid in South Africa, or of Slavery throughout all of the Ancient world, and then slavery in America, the last place that it was still practiced. slavery still exists. Is this slavery history month? we fighting for slaves and making sure it never happens again? Although it is perceivable that slavery effectively still exists in some form in China, those slaves do not have dark skin. nah Or we could talk about the African American community's lack of formal and home education that caused them to forget their true lineage and links to Africa, and how their oppression, based on skin colour alone, lead them to identify with their fellows who were also oppressed for that factor, and how a new collective identity was formed from that loss of a past and reconditioning of self-image that was reliant on oppression. and how the fact of oppression was, and still is glue, but how memory of that oppression, and talk of how it still continues, strengthens that group identity while also separating them from a larger group in which skin colour does not actually matter, because the old myths that kept Africans living in America separate are almost all gone? Or maybe we can talk about the quest of Indigenous Australians with dark skin to find their own history and preserve their languages despite the small number of speakers. or we can talk about any number of things that have to do with the history of people with dark skin ? change name plz 'black history month' is a cringe name and it isn't what it says it is. It should be called 'African-American history month' even if it was called that, a hunt about it would probably be tacky and more offensive than it's worth. Somali American Americans from Chad, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Eritrea, etc. all have different histories, and there is probably enough history in each of them to have a hunt. modern history And um... to end off the rant, we can talk about more modern consequences of the loss of histories in African-American community, and a loss of individual history: the Hebrew Israelites movement which claims an interesting historical timeline for themselves, while also heavily berating those who rightfully hold it and remember it in the dumbest attempt at an immeasuably terrible and contemptible crime, that is identity-stripping, that has ever been recorded in history. What can OP do in stead of cry? We could have a hunt about all of that. Or you could read a book, or suggest that others read a book, or write a forum thread, essay, or book about your history. or just celebrate it with us. or anything. but there was a hunt about Africans 2 months ago, and there will be more to come. If you don't like an avatar, draw a new one. Don't just whinge all of the time.
