Looking at the cost/benefit I dont think this shyt will make much of a difference. But if thats what we're doing as a group then fine. Upload the Rosetta Stone DVD and i'll learn it.Breh...I never said others (non blacks) can't learn the language too. My entire post says that it is important so that, no matter where in the world you go, other black people will speak a COMMON language that is Afrocentric.
:ill: OP is a super c00n but he makes a good point.
Its cool for all black people to keep their cultural diversity and languages but Black people, worldwide, need at least ONE common language that was not taught by our oppressors. Why use English when it was taught by the slave masters in America. Why learn French when the colonized parts of Africa, Why learn spanish when they too colonized parts of Africa, Why learn Arabic when they played just as big of a part in the slave trade as the cacs in America. Why not learn Kiswahili or Swahili?
Black people need less barriers between us. Image this...what if every state in the United States spoke a different language and had a different government. The country would slow down exponentially due to all the barriers and constant conflicts due to people not having common ground. Image living in Atlanta and speaking a completely different language than people in Mississippi.
If black people had one language they can do business across borders much easier, they can build infrastructure easier, they can politic much easier. I think it is a great idea. Once black people have a black owned school, we can make it part of the curriculum and in about 10-20 we will have an entire generation of black people that all speak one Afrocentric language regardless of where they are from.
) and it facilitates learning other foreign languagesEsperanto (/ɛspəˈrɑːntoʊ/ or /-ræntoʊ/; [espeˈranto]listen (help·info)) is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language.[4] Its name derives from Doktoro Esperanto ("Esperanto" translates as "one who hopes"), the pseudonym under which L. L. Zamenhof published the first book detailing Esperanto, the Unua Libro, on July 26, 1887. Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy-to-learn, politically neutral language that would transcend nationality and foster peace and international understanding between people with different languages.
The word COMMON keeps getting lost on you. Plenty of black people speak an Afrocentric language but they are all different.
I think psychologically it would be beneficial if it was a language that was not forced on Black/African people by their oppressors.
I thought observe wasn't going to post in April and we should forward all his correspondents to his secretary Phoenix knightly?
Don't tell me this is another unfunny attention whoring from him.
As if you could stay away from this place for less than an hour
But...... You didn't. Which is the whole point.
Ho, cxu vi ankau parolas Esperanton? Mi lernis gxin antau Kiswahili.everyone should keep their native language strong, learn a language of another land, and speak esperanto
it's not afrocentric but it's highly fluid and inherently a borrowing language, so it could easily become afrocentric-ized in a pretty short period of time if those interested were speaking it. it's designed to be easy - no irregular verbs, only five vowels (just like in swahili
