AFROPUNKING!

“It's a forum to have our own space and to be able to exist. To be our most creative and open selves and everyone is accepted.”

-Elyse Hines.

Why is Afropunk so important to blacker America? because as an experience, it symbolizes everything the African race has been fighting for, for hundreds of years: the power of Self-definition. The ability to see, describe and express ourselves in a manner unique to us. No history lesson is required to understand that identity has constantly been either torn from, or imposed on us for more than 'a while' now, Afropunk is that space where black bodies reach within and blossom in different forms. This Pixel Tour unravels this powerful phenomenon through imagery.

Racism & Football: A Conversation.

An article by Moses Teminijesu. It is simple, you are tired of hearing of this occurrence but at every uproar about racism from a top football league element to a footballer of colour, you cry foul on the media. Few days after the backlash and solidarity chants for the footballer by his club and fans, everything dies down it becomes a thing of the past until it recurs. Rinse and repeat! Rinse and repeat! It's tiring and exhaustive, the proportional efforts by the media and people in order to curb this issue can now be tagged as a "bandwagon effect" or a "thorough appeal to emotion" of the actual perpetrators. Has "Racism in Football" become mere propaganda that can be exploited? Football is the beautiful game and it is ours! It is the most unifying factor despite differences in race, colour, tribe, clan or continent. It harnesses a world of healthy competition amongst different people from all around the world and brings them to a center stage in whi...

AFRICAN ORIGINS OF ANCIENT ASIAN CIVILIZATIONS. According to the “Out of Africa” hypothesis, all people of today have inherited the same mitochondria from a woman who lived in Africa about 160,000 years ago, so named Mitochondrial Eve. The Y chromosomes possessed by all men was inherited from a man who lived 140,000–500,000 years ago, probably in Africa. This man is known as the Y-chromosomal Adam. This fact is pivotal in understanding Africans' place as ancestors of all humanity, and architects of the world's first civilizations. Early China. The Blacks of China were known in historical literature by many names, including Negro, Austroloid, Oceanean by the Europeans. The East Indians and Mongoloid groups had other names for these Blacks such as Dara. Yueh-chi. Yaksha, Suka, and K’un-lun. Lushana and Seythians.
