Both those negative reactions tend to be associated with you disagreeing with or taking offence to the post.Still new. Would a no sign have been more appropriate?
Jack Johnson was too real. I personally dont know why white people thought we couldnt fight. Or maybe they thought we were not smart enough to master the sweet science.
Bump for history
History was the only class i attended. I took Anthropology and that was pretty fun, I really liked US history and ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece, Rome and so on. Mythology was dope as hell.
I didnt really like history at school (thankfully most it was prolly bullschitt anyways) but since then I cant get enough of learning and reading...
Facts. Like we learned about the same shit over and over but with more details
Ill give y'all a Lil bit of history of the ethnic group I derive from.
My bloodline is primarily of central African origin, in Cameroon. They're known as the bamoun. They're primarily a Islamic and animist in the religious sense, with a deep veneration and ritual worship of ancestors.
They descended from the grasslands of northwestern Cameroon, from a people known as the tikar. One of the defining characteristics that now differentiates the bamoun from the tikar is their kingdom, which lasted through out the middle ages up till the French colonization.
They're also well known for their written language, which thrived up until the French AND english took the colony Germany had previously set up in Cameroon and split it as spoils for winning WW1.
They had large libraries detailing their history, arcana etc.. Till the French came and destroy the vast majority of them smmfh.
There is currently a movement to normalize the writing once again.
Now to the present day, they are now separated culturally in a sense from the tikar since they are francophones and the highlands the tikar live in are in the English speaking provinces primarily.
There is currently a secessionist movement in anglophone nw/sw Cameroon that is picking up steam. They would like to become their own English speaking nation by the name of Ambazonia.
The gov responded by first doing a violent takedown of their protests which only served to strengthen the movement, and Now they are in the midst of an internet shutdown smmfh. Its been about 2 months and now entrepreneurial Cameroonians and those with educational opportunities from those provinces are being forced to move to the east.
Its all apart of a larger pattern of bias against English speakers in Cameroon smmfh
