AFRICAN NAMES By Molefi Asante



Uploaded by: Ocacia
Video Description:
Names are cultural identifiers. Your name links you with your past, your ancestors and is a part of your spirituality. A beautiful name accompanies us for the rest of our life. This act of naming is so critical to self-determination that we have therefore prepared a small sample of popular African names.* When choosing a name take into consideration that some names are religious and cultural (e.g. most Swahili names are Islamic/Muslim, Ghanaian name reflect the day of the birth.) Thus do further research and pick names which best reflect your reality. Thus do further research and pick names, which best reflect your reality. Remember that names like all aspects of culture have been exchanged for thousands of years, the concept of a "pure" African name is rare; pick names that are today identified with Africa. this video is part of the bonus scenes from Owen 'Alik Shahadah award winning film 500 Years Later (www.500yearslater.com), produced by M.K. Asante,Jr.

How far should the name changing go? Should all the Blacks or African descendant peoples in the Caribbean and Latin America abandon their English,French,Spanish and Portuguese names? Or is this viewed as an issue more with Black-Americans?

I cannot recall any statements involving the word Jewish, now if you are feeling guilty for your ancestors passed transgressions and involvement with slavery, that just something you have to work out with your psychiatrist. I cannot help you feel at ease about own conscious.

So, get rid of the name you currently have, and make up a new name for yourself (that sounds African), and we're on our way to prosperity.?
What a plan.
Just more racist meandering about Europeans. It's all the Europeans fault (right ?)!
It's time that we all grow up, and stop blaming white people for everything, and take some responsibility for ourselves!
And, why is there Spanish guitar music playing in the background?
Where's the African music?
Come on my people!
Also, when it comes ... ( 4 weeks ago by dariustsu)
Also, when it comes to North African Muslim sounding names, as Bernard Lewis has said, "We can understand why many blacks would give up the name and language of the white men who bought them as slaves, but why on earth would they want to adopt the name and language of the Arabs who sold them into slavery?"
Think about it.
Asante, like Dr. Ben, is full of it!
They're racists!
We're not supposed to be this way!!!
Let's get beyond this color stuff!!!
I think the fact to ... ( 2 weeks ago by nubian86)
I think the fact to look for our real identity as Africans is a good way "to take some responsability for ourselves"
This is not about Europeans, it is all about ourselves.
Ps: There's no spanish guitar playing, what you hear is called "Cora" guitar in some west African countries such as Mali.
