This is literally some internet shyt. My tribe calls itself a tribe. No other Africans I know in real life gaf about the usage of the word "tribe"
Your ignorance is beyond astounding and you expect to teach Africans about anything?

more assumptions I've been back multiple times and will go again next year. Just because you feel Nigeria is a certain way doesn't mean other African countries are the same
This is one of the main reasons I stopped using it much. When I came across people over seas using it, especially in Africa that shyt turned my stomach. Partially because they likely don't know the context behind that word and partially because I know we perpetuate it ourselves via media.
(I always looked at it as an inside thing before realizing people pickup on shyt we do and the responsibility that dynamic entails)

Conceptual Incarceration –
The knower is given a set of predetermined concepts and definitions to utilize in the process of knowing. This amounts to European hegemony. In this regard, the alien or Eurocentric ideas inhibit us from fully understanding African reality. The African thinker is, in fact, conceptually incarcerated.

Psychology Serving Humanity: Proceedings of the 30th International Congress of Psychology
...our ability to regain balance as African intellectuals has to do with the recognition that concepts have the capacity to lock you up, concepts have the capacity to limit the parameter of your knowing and understanding. The concepts you use as the critical discourse have the ability to prevent you from engaging in critical thought. That's what I call conceptual Incarceration, the concept puts you in jail. ...It's not any different on the street than it is in the academy. It is the intellectual discourse that is the jail so we start thinking with white thought, thinking with western ideas, those ideas themselves lock us up and it is insidious, it is very difficult to talk about it because I'm speaking English. I'm not speaking igbo, not speaking fulani, even the language itself becomes difficult.

Conceptual Incarceration –
The condition of African thought under the influence of the European Worldview. It refers to the conceptual universe or boundaries imposed on African cognitive-intellectual functioning by the internalization of the European Worldview. Consequentially, such a condition reflects one which defines, i.e. limits/constrains or "imprisons," the conceptual universe of African thought under the influence of the European Worldview

Epistemological trap -
The epistemological traps is what John Henrik Clarke mentioned when he said Europeans didn't only colonized Africa, they colonized thought itself. ...European hegemony requires the disenfranchisement of the discursive outputs of African cultural systems, and knowing & understanding is a cultural output. Knowing is a cultural output, just as knowing & analysis are cultural inputs. So we got to begin to talk about how we're crippled by trying to blackenize white thought. Trying to blackenize European thought. Even trying to compare African things to give them legitimacy ...cause we find counterparts in European things. We do that all the time in our intellectual discourse.
...before we were tiptoeing on the platform because we weren't sure about it and we in fact had this sort of mentality were we always look over our shoulder to see if some white professor or some white scholar legitimized our thought. So we were happy when some white person said Egypt, ancient Kemet was black. You say "well finally finally they telling the truth". Who gives a (....) about what they think.

The insidious aspect of the epistemological trap is the process wherein the. Black social scientists (sic) accept a set of White defined assumptions...

Epistemology
Epistemology is the study of knowledge: what we know, how we know it, how we know we know it, and how to keep track of it without driving ourselves crazy.

That aside I put people who don't "gaf about the usage of the word "tribe" ..." in the same basket as people who don't "gaf" about calling themselves and others racial epithets.

You feel offended but the actual people who call themselves tribes don't. When they start caring and seeing it as an issue I'll stop using it...until then
