I side with ALL Black people around the globe no matter where they come from because unlike you I'm not a coward.
I don't give a damn if we come from South Sudan, South Africa, or southern Australia. Imma ride for my people till the day I die.

Black/African people have so much in common with each other than the white demographic does. Diaspora wars and FBAs are just signs that colonization was an extremely successful project.

The recent FBA noise about Haiti... Has exposed me to knowledge of things about Haiti. I didn't know before
And I'm loving it
And the way I love Black music from the diaspora It's only a matter of time before I have a nice playlist of Haitian music

A Black American sociologist broke down Tariqβs contradiction: he says weβre NOT Africans, then says weβre racially African. Race is the colonizerβs construct. Ethnicity is the lineage. She knows the difference β and she no longer is FBA as a result of the ideological contradictions. Watch the clip. π§΅

Eating Red clay dirt in the American South πΊπΈ is a very common and traditional practice amongst rural areas especially within the Black/African-American community. Not only is it filling but itβs also heavily believed to be great for your skin. Pregnant women believed eating the dirt would cure morning sickness while some women simply had cravings for its taste. Many even TODAY still eat the clay/dirt or apply it topically for cultural and medicinal reasons β€οΈπ€πβπΎπΊπΈ

Since as a Black/African-American Iβve been seeing ALOT of derogatory things being said about Haitians ππΉ eating dirt as a means of survival as if Black people ALL OVER THE WORLD havenβt struggled with the sameβ¦.
SO as someone who loves to learn as well as teach I figured why not share a part of AMERICAN history that clearly even a lot of Americans donβt even know, such as the act of GEOPHAGY or PICA: the act of eating dirt and other non-food substances.
GEORGIA RED CLAY in particular as well as KAOLIN CLAY has been eaten for CENTURIES in AMERICA specifically by both Native American AND Black/African-Americans.
Happy Learning! β€οΈπ€πβπΎ
