Britain is LENDING back the goods they stole from Benin.. Crazy times
The West has been stealing from Africa throughout the centuries.
nothing in the annals of human civilization exits without African influence
You better leave those art objects in Europe. Bring them to Africa and they will disappear permanently within a decade.
I anxiously await the continuation to know more about the stolen art
( 1) the name Africa is Roman, at first a city named after Africanus then applied to the greater land mass. (2) kem and Sudan are not land of the blacks which is a mean less Blank , refers to people of the Black Soil (3) it's time to celebrate with a greater identity (4) we the people of the black soil and the Red clay soil must colonize Europe !!!!! …. one destiny.
❤ Picasso was African, North African Berber. One his parent , hus mother was black . The father was a Spaniard. He was leaving a message behind for future generations. Picasso was rebelling against western civilisation.
Those African masks in picasso paintings was his black identity. That is when he became conscious diaspora. His name Picasso means the cunning and wise spider. In African traditional folklore, the spider is regarded as the wisest and most cunning person. Picasso name is African. Mendes Trube. .
My brother thanks for evoking black consciousness. Your opening introduction in all your videos is profound & I just hope more black scholars can come on board to write & articulate our history without fear or prejudice
One of my favorite new channels. Thank you!
Great Video! In my opinion, Picasso was a racist, a pervert, and an all-around weirdo. The idea that he would steal African concepts without crediting us is no surprise.
4:19 if they gave us our artifacts back their museums would be empty 😅
Thank you.
