					<description><![CDATA[Black to me in reference to black people..is far more then &quot;just&quot; a color. Its more then what my oppressors see it as... 

Continuing to assert this borders on an autistic, tone-deaf man who loves to make straw man arrangements. 

Its a moniker/ a group-based word used to describe melinated/black people.

Why are you falling into tribalism brother...

what about darker skin people...should they be called &quot;the dark clan&quot;

what about lighter skin people...should they be called &quot;LiteBrothers&quot;

This is confusing and stupid brother....

You&#039;re making yourself look &quot;mentally ill&quot; or some coonservative.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To Nubian Delegation,

I don&#039;t like lies. I like being called what I am and if you can&#039;t tell the difference between black and brown, you need help. I prefer facts instead of brainwashing from oppressors. You are proving my point.

Black is the &quot;color&quot; of my shoes, my belt and my car tires, not my skin. You have been so indoctrinated that you are willing to ignore your own eyes. Until you wake up you are just making noise instead of stating facts. Next!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Brother you don&#039;t even like to be called black when all the great leaders: Malcom X, MLK, Fred Hampton CALLED THEMSELVES JUST THAT.

You sound like Umar Johnson, the nerve to criticize Frederick Douglas over a white wife. 

You(Ya&#039;ll) haven&#039;t done anything to the community compared to them, therefore your rhetoric is garbage. Put in that work and I&#039;ll believe you, until then....

I AM A BLACK MAN, YOU ARE A BLACK MAN

West Africans Historical DNA comes from.......Congo AKA Central Africa AKA also East Africa...AKA BLACK.

THE ORIGIN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL....YOU ARE A BLACK MAN!

I&#039;m secure who I am..I&#039;m not reciting from.. or fighting some White Supremacist View of who I am. Like Klaw in Black Panther he called them savages even when wakandans were clearly the better people. 

SOME OF &quot;THEM&quot; (WHITES) ARE THE SAVAGES

Not us, not BLACK FOLKS

Black is the color of the Universe...
Brown is the color of turds in the toilet.
Black is the color of a business doing fine. 
Brown is the color of mold and rot. (far more then black actually) 

Why is it so important what we call ourselves? 

We have no Tribal Name or Culture so any &quot;meaning&quot; is pointless and based on emotional/dictionary fiat. Its meaning isn&#039;t worth anything.

Africa comes from &quot;Africanus&quot; the Italian Conqueror 
*Africa also comes from Egypt...but we are not Kemet, nor Moors.

You always pick the most irrelevant of topics.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT BLACK : YOU ARE ASLEEP

It amazes me how many of you are still brainwashed to call yourselves BLACK. Black is not an identity and scientifically black is not even a color. It is next to nothing. Black is the &quot;color&quot; of your car tires, not your skin. The white oppressive slave trader called you black and himself white to set up a contrast and to attach negative images and denotations to you based on a lie about color. Look up BLACK in the dictionary.

Research even shows that blacks are perceived by other groups as very different from African Americans. But we still keep calling ourselves what someone else defined us as, what we are not and what has a negative dictionary denotation in society. WAKE UP. LOOK AT THE REAL COLOR OF YOUR SKIN. YOU ARE NOT BLACK. You are an African American. The lie of calling us black and defining us by color (the wrong color) has been in place so long that our people accept it as truth - but it&#039;s not. Know your colors.

Native Americans do not allow others to call them red men. Asians do not accept being called yellow men. Hispanics do not answer to &quot;what&#039;s up brown man&quot;. And Caucasians are not white, notebook paper is white. Wake up and see the plan where white racist supremacists plotted to redefine our people from Africa. STOP CALLING YOURSELF SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE NOT!
AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT BLACK.

Black is the &quot;color&quot; of your car tires, not your skin author. Being called &quot;black&quot; is a lie and it should be offensive. Haitians, Jamaicans and even Africans do not accept being called &quot;black&quot;, Why do you think that is? They are identified by tribes, klans, geographic areas and their respective countries.  By using the very term black to describe us, we are doing the following:
1. Using a term white oppressors and slave masters gave us.
2. Letting someone else define us other than our own people.
3. Calling ourselves something we are not.
4. Buying into thee lie and the negative denotation. Check the dictionary.
5. Being set apart in a way that no other ethnic group allows. Native Americans are not called Red Man. Asians are not called Yellow Man. Hispanics are not called Brown Man. They do not and will not accept being defined by color and by some other race or ethnic group at that.
6. Ignoring our actual color (brown) which means brainwashing has worked. Any time someone can get an entire race, ethnic group or culture to ignore what they are and call themselves what they factually are not, THEY HAVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED, ASSIMILATED AND BRAINWASHED.
7. Playing right into the oppressor&#039;s profiles and stereotypes. Did you know studies show there is a different perception of black people than there is of African Americans? Words create perceptions and perceptions create actions towards us.

WAKE UP. You know your colors. And even though others around the world equated our ancestors with the color of the soil in Africa or the meaning of negro/negroid, that does not change the fact that WE ARE BROWN - NOT BLACK.
Facts are facts and YOU ARE BROWN, NOT BLACK. When you receive the revelation of why they keep calling African Americans &quot;black&quot; and Caucasian people &quot;white&quot;, you may just wake up!

STOP LETTING OTHER GROUPS DEFINE YOU WITH AN OBVIOUS LIE that we have heard and accepted so much that we believe it&#039;s true and forget our colors. The de-programming has to take root or African Americans will forever be defined, limited and oppressed by those who get us to accept a lie.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is Tan the New Black is a very well written article and I appreciate the intellect behind it.  My only thought is there may be a slight potential for over analysis of information.  Example; every person in the world has different tastes in food, clothes etc.  So is what we are seeing really associated with slavery?  I am not saying that it isn&#039;t, but just a thought of maybe we are reaching to far into the information?  Thanks for the intellectual stimulation.]]></description>
