Sir, this article is well written and factual and I commend you for it.

Therefore, when recently the CNN inside Africa crew went to chart with them on the streets of Cairo, their views were expected as all the respondents rejected the notion of being Africans in the first place.. It must be emphasized that this same view is shared by all North Africans from Cairo to Casablanca.

We must take ownership of our African heritage and that includes the name: Africa. Your article and the CNN findings have shown why I ask Africans to stop creating a parallel race. The Arabs don’t see themselves as Africans, why then do we add black to Africa. Europeans are Europeans and not White-Europeans; the Chinese are Chinese and not Yellow-Chinese nor are the Indians, Brown-Asians. We are the only people that insist on added the colour of our skin to our race.

We must get rid of this remnant of colonialism. Also, we must forget what the rest of the world wants and concentrate on what we want. I have written about USofAfrica and my view is that the idea is a joke and unfeasible. The proponents of the idea ignored the history of Africa in their haste to conceive the idea.

I support the immediate unification of ECOWAS. SADEC and other African states can do likewise in their region. In the long term, we might merge some of our institutions to have, say, a common armed forces, law enforcement agency and common market.

I would like to see the AU disbanded and a new organization set up for African states only. The Arabs already have the Arab league, and the UN will do for other purpose currently performed by the AU.

Who is talking about United Africa? There can never be a common ground of agreement between the Arabs and the rest of Africa. The Arabs are colonialists, simple!! They have no good intention in their call for a united Africa. Their hidden agenda is to recolonize the rest of Africa. Those Arabs in the North of Africa value their membership of the Arab league more than that of the AU.

The day will surely come when Africa will be rid of all colonizers, then we will not have Black Africans, Arab Africans or white Africans, but Africans, just Africans.

The West has actually encouraged the Arabs in believing that they are not "Africans" but "Middle Eastern". How often do you hear on the Western news networks an Arab being referred to as "African"?

Let them delude themselves. When reality hit them and they come crushing down the "Africans" will not be there for them.

What do we do with this half educated f.ool and an ***** who doesn't even know the genesis of an alien name which he so desperately wants to claim ownership in order to avoid being associated with the term "black"?.

What do we do with this nuisance who pollutes the board with his useless stench of half baked nonsense and who won't stop pestering those of us who are not ashamed to be called "Blacks"

Palamedes let me cut through the clutter of your befuddled mind and expose your real problem:
Rather than having the courage to come clean, to admit your shame about your skin, we see you, a man who hides under some false sense of intellectual superiority to cloth his shame in lofty terms.

We see a man who thinks can fool the world by using the logic a 5 year old would be ashamed to apply. We have seen also this before in the likes of Michael Jackson, a black man too ashamed to face reality in his black skin , who would do anything including bleaching and surgery and then lie to the world that he has a skin condition.

Rather than writing an epistle and becoming the "intellectual" equivalent of Michael Jackson, why don't you just muster the courage to admit what has been painfully obvious since you first vomitted your bile about the word "Black". Face it: behind all the fancy word, behind all the twisted logic, behind all the noise and thunder, there is one and only one explanation for you neurosis and it is very very simple, that is- you dear Palamedes are ashamed of being black.

Stop the foolish pretence. So you want to get around your shame by "taking ownership" of the term African? :idea:
Idi.ot. Did your Father answer to the term African? Of course that assumes that you have a father.

This offspring of a diseased puss filled womb with stunted brain might as as well try to convince us to claim ownership of the term BANTU. The f.ool who imagines himself wise does not even know the meaning of the term AFRICA or its origins would rather not admit to himself what is obvious- that he is ashamed of being black.

So while you Palamedes , are at it , boldly going where no baboon has gone before, why don't you also merrily take ownership of a few foreign terms which your forebearers never answered to such as:
Nilotid;
Sudanid;
Palaecongoid; and
Bambutid

Those sound better than black don't they, you stupid African BANTU. There you have it, Bantu, I have not called you black so you shouldn't complain since to you anything is better than being called black

Cheers
