This Is An Ancient Betrayal, Part 2 - African Art & Dance Document BM's ANCIENT & ETERNAL Betrayal of BW

I usually don’t make reference to the same blog post or Facebook thread two days in a row, but y’all need to drop everything and look at THIS excellent Facebook post and discussion that Vonnie is hosting. Right now. 

Because I guarantee you’ll see our history as women of African descent with new eyes.

Vonnie’s post states in part:

I want to talk about how black women have had their femininity birthright taken from them and how we're punished for it. Barby Jayne and Ashleigh Brown sparked some thoughts in my mind about this as well as the tahitian dancing post I shared earlier.

Where are the African Geisha-types? Courtesans? Nothing about us was ever lauded by bm to the world as a feminine ideal; we've always been betrayed and used as warriors and work mules. How many books/movies/poems have been done about the "pretty prostitute/mistress/courtesan/geisha" in ancient times or now? how many were about BLACK women being the ultimate in feminine sex appeal? Where are our sonnets/odes/epic poems/literature? The Middle East, Asia, and Europe have countless impressive and well known texts dedicated to their women's beauty and femininity, wars were waged in their women's honor, art was created solely to praise their beauty....once again, where's ours? Has no one ever thought about that? . . . [  ]

. . . [  ] Our femininity was never appreciated or emphasized and now we're demonized as hard, angry, mean....where they do that at? 

African art tells everything anybody needs to know about Black men's ancient and eternal betrayal of Black women, when you understand what you're seeing.

As one commenter named Fatou stated on that thread—and she brought receipts:

Fatou Diarra This is on point. I was discussing this with my cousin from my Ghanaian side and she concurred 100 percent. Even at the museum..we noticed African art forms display carvings with their women carrying loads, breast hanging down, and naked..whereas, the Greco Roman art always displayed their women in the best light..hair well done..posing..robed. It is very apparent that African men didnt value or celebrate femininity in their own women. This is some of the reason why foreigners perceive the African woman to be unprotected and just "out there"..and why black men have an obsession with chasing nonblack women from ancient times..e.g. Moors..it is the femininity of the nonblack woman that draws them..but celebrated and preserved by her men. My cousin even pointed out that in love songs made in Ghana..a term of endearment is "me obroni"..meaning my fair skinned woman or my white lady.

The same dynamic applies to African dances--as another commenter (Cree Skylark) on one of Vonnie's posts, pointed out, even the traditional African dances that folks try to cajole African-American women into celebrating are MASCULINE war dances. 

I never made that connection before, but she’s absolutely right. Those African dances mostly look like AA fraternity step show stomping. Which is why I could never relate to that African dance stuff when I took dance classes as a teenager. All that African stuff looks mucho macho!

Just compare THIS:


To this Maori wedding haka (which is traditionally a WAR dance):

And to this original haka:

And to these African gumboot dancers:

VERSUS this flamenco dancer. I picked flamenco because it involves percussive foot tapping. But notice how this dancer’s feminine silhouette is being emphasized and celebrated in most of her movements. As opposed to stomping around like a male warrior or male miner.

Now that you’ve seen this mess lined up in a row, reread Fatou’s comment:

When you look at these cultural artifacts, it’s obvious that everything in that historical African surrounding was about grooming Black women to be exploited as mules, work horses and she-male warriors. 

Mules and she-male warriors whose primary purpose has always been to be pimped by adult Black males.

Ladies, it’s long past time for African-American women to stop worrying about any of that “Black stuff” and learn how to use feminine skills to their advantage. 

This Is An Ancient Betrayal - BM Have Been Betraying BW Since BEFORE The WM Ever Came To Africa

Time for a quick history lesson that some of you may find interesting. I recently had the following exchange in the comment section to THIS excellent post at the Not Your Girl Friday blog:

Moriah,

I think think AA Black folks’ mass addiction to singing “Kumbaya, My Lord” to other so-called “people of color” (Latinos of all races including Black Latinos; Arabs, Asians, etc.)—who, in my observations over the years, tend to be WORSE anti-Black racists than most modern day White Americans—mostly has its roots in the ideologies promoted by the BM of the Black Misleadership Class.

Furthermore, I believe that the BM Black Misleadership Class has consistently promoted this toxic, false and ultimately self-defeating “rainbow coalition” ideology for many decades because of their great thirst for access to nonblack vaginas.

Frankly, this mass BM willingness to throw their own group and race under the bus in their pursuit of nonblack vaginas predates contact with European slavemasters and colonialism. It’s an ancient behavior pattern that goes back *at least* over 1,000 years. It’s how the Moors “worked the Black out” of their bloodlines and ultimately bred themselves out of existence starting over 1,000 years ago.

Khadija that’s very interesting and something I had no idea happened. I think younger black women would do well to listen to this as we weren’t around to see most of this happen. I know you have written in depth about bm leaders who end up dating/ marrying non black women but have you wrote any post specifically on what you’re talking about now? Or are you planning to in the future. I think this is important conversation for younger black women to have because a lot of us don’t realize (the reasons behind) certain “black” everyone’s welcome policy only go one way. And that they rarely benefit black women.

OLS,

I’ve mentioned the historical fact of BM selling out their own people in pursuit of nonblack vaginas in passing (with specific reference to the Moors) in this post:

http://muslimbushido.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-scales-fell-from-african-american.html

But this ancient problem with BM even predates the Moorish empire in Spain, al-Andalus (which was from 711-1492). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Andalus This BM behavior pattern is what made it possible for ancient Black Egypt to turn brown and then finally tan and off-White (Arabian).

The ancient BM betrayal behavior pattern is 2-pronged:

(1) BM consistently failed to treasure and protect the women of their race (BW). Instead, they sold, traded and bartered BW to outsider men for a pittance. From the very beginning of recorded time, royal African negro males of multiple eras and kingdoms allowed outsider males to marry their daughters and other women of their nation. Arab men used this strategy of marrying into African royal/chieftain families to gain an economic and political foothold into various ancient African societies.

This behavior pattern is the very opposite pattern of what winning, conquering men do! From the book, Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Racefrom 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D, by Chancellor Williams:

For in Egypt, as elsewhere, it was a one-way sexual process. The ‘master race’ always kept its own women ‘sacred’ and secluded behind the walls of their homes. They were not allowed to go outside except under guard. African women had no such restrictions or protection. They were fair game for the men of all races, and for them it was always open season. [pg. 73]

(2) Whenever in positions of in power and/or affluence, BM consistently fixate on accessing nonblack vaginas.Back to the Moors: Conquering rulers typically demand tribute from the people they conquer. Usually conquerors want the conquered people to pay them in the form of gold, luxury items, animals or other goods. What sorts of “treasures” did negro male Moors demand from conquered White Spain? Answer: Access to 100 virgin White vaginas per year.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribute_of_100_virgins

Note that the Emir mentioned in the above entry, Abd al-Rahman I was the product of Ancient African Male Behavior Pattern #1—his father was an Arab and his mother was a so-called Berber (read = African) woman. History is typically “whitened.” Instead of describing folks as Africans or Black, other descriptions are used such as “Berber.” [There are such a people known as Berbers, but for all we know this Emir’s mother might have been as racially Black as the modern day Black-looking Arabs I saw when I went to Egypt before Mubarak was overthrown.]

Which leads to the next ancient historical pattern: The majority of the mulattoes/biracials created by Ancient BM Behavior Patterns 1 & 2 have consistently—and viciously—worked AGAINST the interests of Black people. An example of this is Tippu Tip.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippu_Tip

His mother was Arab and his father was a “coastal Swahili” (read = negro male). One can see from his photograph that he was a Black as midnight. But this negro male kept himself busy as a slave trader who preyed on the fully-Black Africans!

From ancient Egypt to now—in various historical eras and in various countries—most half-Black and part-Black mixed people have consistently acted as a hostile race within the Black race. From the same book I mentioned above:

For while the white man has mingled his blood with non-white peoples from times immemorial, in no other people was the outcome a hostile ‘race’ within a race. [pgs. 319-320]

The reason for this consistent outcome is that from the very beginning, African people and descendants of Africans have never had any firm boundaries with other folks. We just looove sharing our stuff with outsiders. A customer review of Mr. Williams’ book mentioned this:

There is a reoccurring theme in this book. Indigenous Africans gain power and indigenous Africans lose power. That statement sums up this book briefly. Mr. Williams goes into detail to explain how a black Egypt could be viewed by the world as being white. The answers to this question can be found starting with chapter two entitled Ethiopia’s Oldest Daughter: Egypt. In this chapter, he proposes “the mulatto problem” which I feel is key in understanding how the face of early Africa was changed. When other groups of people came in from the east the Africans allowed them to assimilate into their culture. There were many interracial unions, which allowed for a mixture of kin. This mixture of kin is what lead to the demise of the total black African state. Time and time of again people who did not have a natural birth right to any African state were allowed to do so based on marriage or kinship. This is why Mr. Williams study shows how indigenous African flip-flop control of power so frequently. Whenever indigenous African took control of Egypt the power was relinquish due to an interracial unions or kinship not to mention the violence and acts of war. Again, in many ways this scenario is a reoccurring them throughout this book. The early African inability to hold on to what was natural his has cause others to question whether he should be given any credit at all. Mr. Williams traces what happen and he gives excellent details.

I would refer everyone to Chancellor Williams’ book. I haven’t read it in over a decade, and from what I recall the book tends to gloss over BM’s culpability in all of this. Nevertheless, it’s the best comprehensive overview of why Africans and the Black descendants of Africans always lose and can never consistently retain control of their power or resources.
