African homecoming: A way of healing or just diasporic dreaming?
Can Black people of the ‘old’ diaspora still make the connection with Africa, or is it just unrealistic day dreaming? In August producer and activist Bamba Nazar organised the event “African Homecoming” in Amsterdam, dedicated to the bridging between Africa and the diaspora. He was triggered by his journey to the slave island of Gorée in Senegal.
But Dutch cultural critic and blogger Plug is skeptic about this new Pan-Africanisme. He feels the gap between black Europeans and Africans has become too wide. By quoting Ama van Dantzig (Ghanaian) he explained that, “to Ghanaians there’s very little difference between White Westerners and African Americans, or Black Europeans.”
But to Bamba Nazar, who was born in Amsterdam, has lived in Suriname and grew up in New York as a teenager, the connection with Africa is important.
In an interview with Tolhuistuin he talked about his personal homecoming.“As a person of African descent, I was always busy with the question, where do I come from. As a child I was fascinated by culture and history. The hip hop scene in 1988 in New York had a big impact on me. Stetsasonic, Public Enemy, Lakim Shabazz, Jungle Brothers, Queen Latifah … At that time hip hop forced you to think, to read books, it was not like today. Back then you’d better talk some sense to earn your stripes. Hiphop was about our collective African roots, the Islam and history.
Inspired by hip-hop, I started researching the continent and traveled to the continent. Egypt, Senegal, Gambia, Tanzania and Zanzibar were my personal ‘African Homecoming’, but I didn’t share them with a large audience.” As for connection: “The Pan-African identity is an important theme in African Homecoming: an identity that unites all Africans, whether they live in or outside the continent.” Read full interview in Dutch here.
Dutch (Caribbean) blogger and cultural critic ‘Plug’, who attended the event, had a different perspective. He feels those diasporic returns are romanticized triumphant homecomings that have been pre-destined from the moment of departure. Plug: “Here we were talking about a possible return to Africa, whether actual or philosophical, while asylum seekers from countries in Africa are risking life and limb to get to European soil. Most of them end up languishing in State sponsored detention camps. Those who live here undocumented live under the constant threat of being rounded up and imprisoned in order to keep ‘us’ safe.”
…
“For those of us living “here,” whether we like it or not, we are Europeans. I grew up within a European context. I have made friends, defined myself, tried to reinvent myself and struggled with myself within a European context.”
He concludes: “How can African descended folks ‘here’ build deep relationships of solidarity with African descended peoples over ‘there’ when opportunities to meet them are rare, or near impossible, due to travel restrictions? How can we build relationships of solidarity across differences and mutually incomprehensible languages?These factors hamper the free exchange of information, and silence those voices that do not have access to computers/the Internet and that are not familiar with English/post-colonial terms.” Read the full story at Plug.

Deconstructing Western Privilege: Are Foreigners in Africa Benefiting At the Expense of Natives
Add the Middle East while you are at it. Where I used to work, one of my managers was Lebanese but he had an European passport, Spanish as I recall. So, his salary was something above 40 thousand dollars PER MONTH.Ugandans do not see me as an African-American or a black American. Yes, they recognize the pigmentation of my skin and can clearly see that I am a black woman; however, I am still referred to as mzungu (a Luganda term meaning foreigner or ‘white person’).
No matter how “African” my features, Ugandans perceive me as an American – no hyphens needed. Ugandans I meet do not take my complex history as a black woman from America into consideration. To them, I am a Westerner. A native English speaker.
I hold the coveted American passport. I was educated at one of the United States’ most prominent private universities. I hail from the land of the free and the home of the brave.
This translates to my own version of ‘white privilege’ which I will refer to as ‘Western privilege’ – it just has a better ring to it. While this article comes from my perspective as a Westerner living in Uganda, I am going out on a limb to say that this ‘Western Privilege’ phenomenon is prevalent throughout the African continent.
“There are thousands of qualified, college-educated Ugandans living in Kampala who are unemployed, but Westerners are repeatedly able to apply for jobs and get interview after interview and job offer after job offer. I am sometimes offered jobs that I’m not even interested in. A few weeks ago, a friend told me that he could get me a job on one of Uganda’s top radio stations because, ‘with my American accent,’ the station manager would surely hire me in a second and pay me big bucks! I have no desire to work in radio so I politely declined – but the deeper issue is how these type of opportunities fall into my lap while there are so many qualified, educated Ugandans who are idle and unemployed all over the country.
A colleague of mine recently moved to Uganda from Ohio. Within 3 months of moving to Uganda, she landed a full-time job with one of the largest magazine publications in Uganda. Last month during a lunch meeting, she admitted that a Ugandan friend of hers was peeved because she got a job so quickly and he, a qualified candidate with a degree from a South African university, has been unemployed for nearly a year and unable to find work. Granted, she has journalism experience and holds a college degree but one has to wonder how many qualified Ugandan candidates were overlooked for this particular job position. I personally think more people, especially foreigners living abroad, need to think critically about if and how ‘Western privilege’ plays into equations like this.”
I HATE HATE HATE westerners at home so much. And the fact we are soo much subdued by their influence make me want to cry like for real UGH!!

Necklace Beads of African Slaves 17-18th
European slave-traders paid African middle-men to bring native men and women to the atlantic ports. In the case of Senegambia there is an island in the middle of the River Gambia on which a small fort was built, called Fort James where the potential slaves were held before being loaded onto the slave ships for the journey to the “New World”. When they arrived at Fort James, soldiers tore the bead necklaces from their necks, thereby robbing them of their identities of family, tribe and culture. They became “non-people”, only a potential resource to work. The necklaces were thrown by the soldiers from the windows of Fort James, falling on the surrounding beaches. The island was low-lying and much of it has been eroded over the centuries. These beads were recovered by my father from the beach beneath Fort James in 1987.
Happy Independence Day to all our Liberian readers!
Liberia declared its independence on July 26, 1847. The country was founded by freed people who had been enslaved in the Americas. Liberia’s first President was Joseph Jenkins (pictured above) and the country became Africa’s first independent republic.
China says Africa is no one’s cheese
Africa is not any country’s “cheese” but belongs to the African people, a senior diplomat said on Thursday ahead of a meeting of China and 50 African nations in Beijing.”I wish to point out that Africa belongs to the Africans - it is not anyone’s ‘cheese’. Any country that wishes to develop cooperation with Africa must respect the ownership of African countries,” Deputy Foreign Minister Zhai Jun said at a seminar on relations between China and Africa.The veteran diplomat was referring to foreign criticism that China has moved in on others’ “cheese” as it strengthens ties with Africa and damaged other countries’ interests there.”China-Africa relations have delivered tangible benefits to Africa’s development, and Africa’s development is good for the whole world and other countries’ cooperation with Africa,” he said.”To those who view China-Africa cooperation as threatening their own interests, I would say that it is their own mentality and policy that need to be examined.”
One Million Manuscripts ~ Visually Challenging White Supremacist Lies about Africa
“EUROPEANS TAUGHT FOR CENTURIES that Africa had no written history, literature or philosophy (claiming Egypt was other than African). When roughly 1 MILLION manuscripts were found in Timbuktu/Mali covering , according to Reuters “all the fields of human knowledge: law, the sciences, medicine,” IT DID NOT MAKE MAINSTREAM NEWS as did the lies taught by Europeans concerning Africa.” ~ Timothy Taylor (via Facebook)

SPREAD THE WORD!!!! CHALLENGE THE EUROCENTRIC MYTHS & LIES ABOUT THE AFRICAN CONTINENT!!!
honestly, being an black us girl who lives in africa, i have lots of thought on the connections, appropriations, etc between black africans and black americans.
even more so because i live in a world where
1. most ppl assume im black african
2. most ppl here look down on black africans
3. im actually from the states, like slave descendent black
4. most black africans here insist that i am african, and seem to get slightly offended if i say im not.
5. most egyptians dont seem to see themselves as african
but i dont really understand the antagonism that is happening in the conversation. black africans seem to be able to have more economic and academic success than black americans in the states (am i wrong about this?). and i am under the impression that black africans, in general, are seen, in white society, as ‘better’ than black americans.
also who gets to decide who is ‘african’. like i dont call myself ‘african’ because to me in my current context it implies an experience i havent really had. plus, i stay reppin black culture and black cool. but considering i havent lived in the states for the past few years, everyone around me, in cairo and berlin, assumed i was african, when they saw me.
so who gets to decide who is african?
why doesnt this conversation make sense to me?
i guess what i am wondering is, it cultural appropriation if a girl from niger wears adinkra jewelry, or is it only cultural appropriation if a girl from the states does? feel me? are we talking about ‘africa’ or are we talking about ‘ghana’…?
who gets to decide who is and who is not from here? and why?
What I’ve learned from the discussion is this, i) people in the African Diaspora are African descended, ii) should Blacks in the Diaspora want to claim an African culture (note: not a general African identity) they need to either have some knowledge of their ancestry or have been accepted/welcomed by the people of that specific culture, iii) it is necessary to listen to the people whose culture you claim to respect, mixing and matching from several cultures is wrong because Africa is not a monolith and iv) respect, respect, respect.
From my view, the discussion was less about “Africa” and more about specific cultures and countries. I don’t think anyone was trying to decide that Blacks in the Diaspora were could not identify as African, the issue was more with choosing to identify with or “claiming” certain cultures. Because Africans largely identify by ethnic group, and in most cases it is unthinkable for someone from one ethnic group to go to another and “claim” it. I’m not saying this does not happen, but usually before you “claim” another ethnic group you need to have lived within that community for a long time and speak their language and it is usually someone from that group that would claim you not the other way round. And they can do this because it is their culture.
I’m not sure about a girl from Niger wearing adinkra symbols but I know that in Nigeria for example people wear fabrics from all across West Africa and these fabrics are even referred to by countries names, so there is Guinea, there is Ghana wax etc. I asked earlier if this counted as appropriation as well. I personally believe appropriation is the wrong term to describe this because power and the power to change how symbols are interpreted. Perhaps the difference is that when a Yoruba person wears Ghana wax, they do not think to know anything special about Ghana and because they are grounded in their own culture don’t feel the need to “claim”.
I understand that this issue can be confusing.
was there someone who was claiming a specific african ethnicity? because i missed that post.
and i was thinking about fabric as well. when i have bought fabric, they usually call it out by the color and the country. i saw the same patterns in burundi and congo, that ive seen in sudanese shops, and in shops in the states.
yeah, and i think that we are not doing a straight power analysis and that is making the boundaries unclear. like what do black americans have the power to do with african commodities and cultural symbols?
because more of what i heard, was that blacks were 1. making claim to being african 2. making claim to get to use certain cultural products even though they dont belong to that ethnicity, per se.
it’s weird. like, my daughter has spent 3 1/2 of the past 5 years in egypt. nearly all that she knows is egypt. if she grew up here, would she be allowed to claim to be african? even though she definitely wouldnt be egyptian (not having the citizenship), nor would she be able to claim any specific african ethnicity, but could you honestly tell a black girl who grew up in africa, that she can’t at least claim the word, ‘african’?
i dont know. man, a couple of nights ago, i was at a friends place, and ended up in a conversation where i was explaining how aave is an actual language, akin to creole in rel. to french, that has definite linguistic structures, grammer, vocabulary from west africa. and then explaining how, hip hop music, how folks will try to imitate what they think of as ‘hip hop’ when in reality they are just butchering aave, because they dont understand the internal structure of the language.
its funny ive spent so many years now having to constantly explain that i am not african. and being very careful to not co opt the identity, but now i do kind of claim to be african. or i accept that what i do and how i am seen is seen in some ways as being a reflection of some african identity by others, even if not by myself. (like how i buy all my clothes in cairo and yet am told by folks who must shop at the same places i do, that my style is so ‘african’, where as their style is ‘arab’, and its like, really?)
I personally believe that any African descended person in the Diaspora has the right to claim an African identity. A few other sourceland Africans on tumblr have said the same thing.
The objection arises when they see Diasporic Africans disrespecting their culture or using symbols inappropriately. There seems to be varying definitions for “African”. Sourceland Africans identify based on ethnic group and it is the ethnic group that makes them African but Diasporic Africans often do not have any knowledge of their ethnic group. The sourcelanders are saying that for Diasporic Africans, identifying as African does not mean that you can have access to any and every African culture.
With “making claim to get to use certain cultural products even though they don’t belong to that ethnicity” the main issue seems to be respect. Someone brought up some Diasporic Africans claiming to be Nubian and wearing kente cloth without paying attention to the oppression that the Nubian people face today or realising that you just can’t say you’re part of an ethnic group if the people there haven’t bestowed the honour to you.
I personally believe that your daughter is already African (see my first point). I’m not sure how it works in Egypt but in West Africa, she could end up being part of any ethnic group whose language she spoke. I’ve been told that in the past, ethnic boundaries on the African continent were more fluid, it was possible to be adopted into a community and become part of an ethnic group. Not so much today since “divide and rule” but the vestiges remain. I’ve had one or two friends who I swore were Yoruba because of their names and the way they spoke the language fluently, but they had African American parents.
In Africa if your brown we think of you as being one of us until you talk or act differently when you say your not African I suppose to some extent there is a feeling that by not stating your African your not giving appropriate veneration to your many African Ancestors. Who vastly outnumber (in terms of Generations) the ones who have been away from the continent. (500 years Vs thousands of years)
Being with Arab egyptians & African egyptians in both Cairo and Aswan there is a big difference in ideology. As many of these people have different ethnic origins.
I agree with Queen Cosmic,
- Talking from a African spirituality perspective one of the most important things you can do is Acknowledge, respect and pay reverence to your ancestors. Looking at it from this perspective it is of the upmost importance that you know who they were & where they came from (It is possible now to do that thanks to modern technology). Then NO-ONE can say that your not from somewhere & they don’t have the right to if it’s in your blood.
- Give appropriate respect of peoples culture (language aswell) & it makes sailing smooth.
- The Diaspora experience is a interesting one. It is not enough to have genetics which is African, your consciousness must be African(Again that means appropriately comprehending the culture). As at times many African cultures are at a completely different polarity to Anglo, greco roman culture. This is going to offend people however this is just my opinion which may not be right ALOT OF AFRICANS DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHO THEY ARE (I say this in regards to many people close to me) Colonial & post colonial mentality is strong. Whether this mentality be European & Arab it has many people believing otherwise. This applies to All Africans. (for more on this listen to speeches by Marcus Garvey & Thomas Sankara)
We see an illusion of the world with our presence missing, we no longer produce things appropriately anymore (However things are changing.) When our physical bodies, blood, land and goods played a integral part. A good proportion of African Leadership continually lets us down. In Ifa there is a believe that we live on through our descendants given the right conditions. For that belief we do our best to ensure our Children with the best possible future. I can quote many people I know (family) who don’t do this. My own farther is included & has no belief in this.
Finally many Africans need to start analyzing the cultures we consume media & goods from. See how they treat people of a darker complexion. (Most people on Tumblr do this) Personally with me as I got older and started to educate myself I began to disassociate myself with many Greco Roman ideals I had been indoctrinated with.
If anything the definition African American for now best defines you. Until you find other ways to define yourself.
Lol @ “Queen Cosmic” (read: I love it!)
Also all of that!
HOW NGO’S ARE INDOCTRINATING YOUNG AFRICAN POLITICIANS TO SERVE WESTERN INTERESTS
The Next Generation Of Imperialist Puppets
East African political youth leaders pose for a photo after attending a workshop organized in 2009 by NDI and KIC at Kunduchi Beach Resort in Dar-es-Salaam.In a 2010 science fiction action film, Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio plays an exceptional thief whose specialty is to extract valuable commercial information from the minds of tycoons. Like a hacker who penetrates computer systems and secretly accesses data, DiCaprio enters into the subconscious of his targets and digs out their secrets as they dream. His excellent espionage skill prompts a wealthy businessman to use him to bring down the business empire of a competitor.
Thus DiCaprio embarks on his toughest mission ever, this time not to steal an idea, but to plant one in the mind of the competitor that should drive the target to destroy his own business empire. In real life and in Africa particularly, western organizations are busy playing DiCaprio by indoctrinating whoever they expect to gain political influence sooner or later. Their goal is to make the next generation of African leaders receptive to western whims and caprice.
Prominent among such organizations is the International Republican Institute, National Democratic Institute, Christian Democratic International Center, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. These organizations, ideologically dissimilar as they may claim to be, have a common agenda of entrenching and perpetuating western subjugation of Africa.
Their capacity to posture as innocent apostles of good governance, democracy and human rights – concepts that the West defines and twists according to its interests – makes them the least suspected of Euro-American strategies for global dominance.
The quest by the West and the rest for dominating Africa is not new. Through the millennia of known history Africa has suffered intrusion after intrusion, invasion after invasion, occupation after occupation. This recurrent violation of the continent’s self-determination was once perpetrated by races claiming biological superiority that granted them the right to rule over “biologically inferior” Africans. It is this illusion that the Blacks are intrinsically inferior that motivated Europeans to enslave Africans en masse – first in the New World and later in Africa during colonialism.
The notion that some races are superior to others soon turned around to haunt its Western proponents when German Nazis waged war on everyone except their own “master race” – everyone including Europeans of other kinds – whom Nazism considered subhuman and who must be subjugated at best and annihilated at worst. If Hitler was fought on account of his racial chauvinism, it followed that White supremacy could no longer be sustained as a basis to deny African-Americans their rights and to rule over people of other races.
Thus the end of the Second World War marked the start of the end of the racial justification for oppression and domination. Another justification for the domination of Africans was invented: yes, Africans are not biologically inferior to Whites, but African culture is inferior to Western culture.
Suddenly, African culture, rather than the African race, became the obstacle to the modernization of the continent. It was therefore in the interest of Africans to be ruled by the Whites, for this rule provided the Blacks with the opportunity and the motivation to overcome their inferior traditional cultures and embrace superior western cultures. And even after independence, the Whiteman would carryon the burden of civilizing Africans through all possible ways.
One such way was – and continues to be – indoctrination through mass media propaganda. In The Passing of Traditional Society, Daniel Lerner convinced the West that the people of the Middle East, and by extension all ‘uncivilized’ peoples of the world whose traditional cultures hampered their modernization, would be westernized and hence modernized through constant exposure to western media propaganda. To Lerner and indeed to the West, westernization equals modernization and development; any other culture equals backwardness and barbarism.
These backward and barbaric cultures would attain ‘social transformation’ through constant exposure to media propaganda, cosmetically coined as Development Communication. This approach has since supplemented military action and sanctions in spreading western culture and entrenching western hegemony. These and other methods of subjugation have now been joined by the programmes of western-based NGOs.
Under the guise of strengthening the youth leagues of political parties in East Africa, the Washington-based National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the Swedish Christian Democratic International Center, or KIC, established in 2008 an enticing and alluring school of indoctrination known as the Regional Youth Political Leadership Academy (RYPLA).
Renamed recently as Program for Young Politicians in Africa, or PYPA, and expanded to cover several other countries in central and southern Africa, the academy admits each year an average of two promising youth members of each party represented in parliament. I was admitted in 2009 on behalf of the Justice Forum (Jeema), a party with which I worked as an intern and as a volunteer and of which I was consequently thought to be a member.
In the three module-training of one week each conducted in some of the best hotels in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, participants are introduced to western ways of thinking and living. Like the media propaganda that was called Development Communication, this indoctrination is not called by its real name; it is described using innocent phrases like capacity building, value-based leadership, gender mainstreaming, and others.
Indoctrination experts, who often wear a neutral title of facilitators, are hired from the U.S. and Europe to introduce participants to western political ideologies, from conservative liberalism to social liberalism, from social democracy to democratic socialism, and from right wing to left wing politics. These dogmas, for which no critique is entertained, are devotedly taught as if they make any sense to jigger-ravaged villagers of Kamuli District.
The people of Uganda and Africa at large do not need ideology – they need hospitals, roads, electricity, clean water and schools. They need security from hunger and starvation. These are basics that any sane government must provide regardless of its ideological orientation.
Equally committed to spreading ideology is the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, or FES, which, unlike NDI or IRI, doesn’t deny its partisanship. Through its full-year annual Young Leaders Training Programme in which I was a pioneer trainee in 2008/9, the German NGO openly indoctrinates participants into Social Democracy, whatever that means. Another NGO that makes no secret of its mission to propagate ideology is the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, which is here to strengthen Christian Democracy.
These organizations compete for ideological converts among Africa’s emerging leaders. In the 19th Century western powers scrambled for African territory; today the agents of the same powers are scrambling for the hearts and minds of the continent’s ‘leaders of tomorrow’.
These so-called leaders of tomorrow are also programmed to despise their own culture. They are taught that the roles African society allocates to men and women are meant to oppress women. They are told that attaining gender equality requires eradicating everything indigenous that distinguishes, for instance, a Muganda woman from an Anglo-Saxon woman. In the eyes of these NGOs, a Muganda woman who kneels for her husband admits inferiority to the husband. Kneeling, to them, denotes male rule and privilege and proves female servitude. This they summarize in one word: patriarchy.
To these cultural chauvinists, western culture is universal; anything African is inimical to civilized behavior. It is this arrogance coupled with ignorance that has prompted some in the West to campaign against the Buganda women tradition of okukyalira ensiko, a revered practice of elongating the vagina’s labia minora to enhance sexual pleasure (for both women and men) during intercourse.
Without seeking to understand the wisdom behind the practice, some western cultural chauvinists have dismissed it as a form of female genital mutilation and attempted to get it banned. This is more than interference in Africa’s domestic affairs; it’s interference in Africa’s bed affairs. Africa must stand up to this egotistical violation of the African identity.
To confront this arrogance governments need to take a lead role. The authorities should censor the content of the courses taught by all foreign NGOs and root out the poisonous influences contained therein. These foreign agents should be required to hire local trainers identified by the government rather than import oversees propagandists to preside over youth trainings. At a convenient time some of these NGOs should be expelled from our countries, as Egypt demonstrated recently.
The parties in opposition, aware of the danger posed by the agents of foreign interests, are expected to stand with the government in confronting indoctrination. In the meantime, all political parties should stop sending their youth members to indoctrination workshops. If parties choose to participate for one reason or another, they should strongly sensitize their representatives against unquestioningly swallowing the propaganda that is disseminated through such programmes.
As for the youth who are the primary targets, each one of them should know that the Whiteman’s determination to control Africa has never receded. The youth should recall how European colonialists used small gifts to compromise pre-colonial African rulers and takeover the continent. Today the offspring of the 19th Century imperialists are using luxury hotels and delicious food to compromise the next generation of African leaders.
Eating their food and swallowing their propaganda is the inception of surrendering Africa to them
KONY 2012 PSY-OP SHATTERRED – JOSEPH KONY HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 2 YEARS
An informant in contact with Libya 360° has confirmed that the Lord’s Resistance Army leader, Joseph Kony, died two years ago. He was captured during an operation sponsored and aided by US Special forces. He was executed along with hundreds of fighters and children who had been recruited into the LRA.
Further details cannot be revealed at this time. I am confident that this information is accurate.
In light of the current military operations taking place throughout Africa and the Middle East, this disclosure gives us further cause to question everything we are being told about present conflicts, coups, counter-coups and terrorist activity.
Of immediate concern is what the US agenda actually is.
This video describes AFRICOM’s current training of Ugandan forces in preparation for their work in Somalia.
In the past week, US Special Forces organized a press conference in the Central African Republic where they joined Ugandan officers in blaming Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for the survival of East African warlord and his Lord’s Resistance Army. *
