@Dina Tuff,

For your response to Marque Anthony…YES! He epitomizes the far-right side of trying to be a successful black person in America. We have some of our own people who are always trying to pull us out of the “white-way” of thinking and at the same time stuff us into (most of the time) a smaller more restricted way of thinking that is no more productive or beneficial than were we started but only serves to stroke their (wanna be black leaders) own egos and since of self importance and grandeur (a la Trumps).

Keep killing them softly!

Marque Anthony were those born on the continent of Africa called Africans prior to it being colonized by European males? You do realize the ancestors were more tribal based as were their names so your attempt to replace one defined term ‘black’ with two seemingly wrong ones ‘African’ and ‘American’ is an epic fail. Waking up has nothing to do with race, it is a call to consciousness which refers to expansion and ascension. Black is not negative, black represents power, strength, seriousness, self control and discipline amongst many other meanings. We chose blackness hence the black pride movements, I haven’t seen the African American movement, is it coming soon?. I do admire how you, like Trump, utilize rhetoric in each post to cause confusion while attempting to shift the conversation to a level at which you can better understand and distort. Trump like to throw his accolades into the conversation as well when he’s making no sense, trust that we all know you’re a counselor as mentioned in every comment you make. Can we get a few articles detailing your success stories regarding those you deprogrammed and obviously reprogrammed in a fashion better suiting to you? One last question, will you be unveiling ThyAfricanAmericanman.com in the near future? I’m sure those Black’s turned African American will need à place to learn about their new identity and programming.

Marque Anthony

Proverbs 22:1 – “You should want a good name more than you want great riches. To be highly respected is better than having silver or gold. ”

What does the name Marque Anthony represent?
What does the label African American represent?
Are you defined by a label or who and what you are as a person?

It’s not the name or color that matters. What matters is what it represents. That cannot be done as a collective.

Each man and woman must stand in relation to their “character”.

What you are arguing for is another trap. Why should I accept your label African American?

Color and label matters to people that view themselves as part of a collective instead of as individuals. All you are doing is arguing for is substituting one label for another label.

Once again, if I am a child of God, liberated and free , why should place value on what white people think about me?

What’s sad is that we African Americans are still calling ourselves BLACK because Caucasian oppressors called us that to contrast their color and to assign to us all the negative things BLACK is equated with in the dictionary. The fact is, like it or not and believe it or not, YOU ARE BROWN and your car tires are black. You can say black is a culture but when they deal with you, they deal with you based on it’s definition – dismal, gloomy, dark, diabolical, treacherous, devoid of light.

WAKE UP AFRICAN AMERICANS. We do not call the Asian yellow man because he would not stand for it. We do not call the Native American a red man because he would not stand for it. We do not call the Hispanic man a brown man because he would not stand for it. And many Africans, Haitians and Jamaicans do not accept being called a color they know they are NOT.
Ironically, African Americans are the only ethnic group/race on the planet which allows ourselves to be called a color we are not, allowing ourselves to be defined by color, by someone else and to allow ourselves to be attached to a color we are not – a color they filled with negative denotations. Then we fight to help keep the lie in place. Is it any wonder that cops treat us as BLACK people by the definition of dismal, gloomy, treacherous, evil etc?

We will never rise and overcome as a people if we allow other groups to define us, to define us with a lie and we are sadly willing to help them. AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES MATTER PEOPLE. Black is the color of my car tires, not my skin. I am a family and relationship counselor who specializes in deprogramming African Americans from slavery mindsets.
