It perpetuates pseudo-science and false historical account of the African diaspora.what's your take on this fam?
This Ankh art needs to stop.....good god this is terrible
1. All african diasporans descendent of enslaved peoples came from West Africa.
That alone should dispell this gross Ancient Egypt fetish.
2. We were not all kings/queens/chiefs
It is well understood that the europeans bought or traded for most of the slaves from other Africans.
Initially the various tribes they delt with would sell what war prisoners they had from ordinary war.
After the european demand increased the various tribes went into increasingly dangerous and senseless wars (aided with european guns) to get more captives to make more money.
After european demand exceeded a certain point they just began outright colonizing the areas. So it is highly unlikely any of us have royal african lineage.
Why would the chiefs sell their own children?? (in west africa even if you were a royal bastard you still had better status that a POW or ordinary citizen)
As a person who values logic over sentiment, I just feel its false education and feeds into much of the pseudo-science already popular within black culture.
