My Dear Beloved People & Friends we must be very careful when it comes to words and their meaning.

Taboo means forbidden,it means banned on the grounds of morality or taste.

Banned as constituting a risk.

IT IS A RISK FOR EUROPE TO TELL THE TRUTH.(HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON THE WALL.)(JACK&JILL WENT UP THE HILL)

Taboo means a prohibition imposed by social customs or as a protective measure.
HIRAM ABIFF WAS WAYLAID (AFRICA)

Please look up the word and then come to your own conclusions why the people of Europe or as those racist would like to say (WHITE PEOPLE) (BLACK PEOPLE) THAT IS WHY THEY MAKE IT TABOO .Laughing


Definition of words have been giving by the interpretation of those Europeans so-called whites from there cave animalistic prehistoric times and of the (Ice Age).

They have stole the true identity of the original man who gave birth to all humanity. In the process of time change when in fact they returned to civilization; which in fact was the continent which is so-called Africa.

In the metamorphosis of a new development of physical form and change of appearance or character,and becoming a new being. That is nursed and nourished and educated by which we can say the primate man and woman in the civilization of what is called Africa today.

This was a new birth of a people from Europe and that history was perhaps six thousands years ago.

At least that is when the Europeans began to write history or the birth of man. Which is called the story of Adam & Eve.

To make this short I will only say that since that time they stole the truth from African people in all of the science and clothed themselves as the new educators of knowledge and wisdom. For example the original Hebrews or Jews are the people from Ethiopia.

Ancient Egypt (Misra) All of what is today called Sudan,Congo etc.

When in fact we go to the computer Wikipedia for infromation on Race or Religion it is all based on the extrapolation of the knowledge and the experience of African people.

As you can see and read in the United States The Office of Management & Budget is what makes the definition who is so-called Black and so-called
White according to Wikipedia defintion and terminology. That does not mean that all European people did that it was only the educated people of that time;who wrote books and told stories. Most of the people back then did not read or write only those of the privileged class the monks and the priesthood the elite and so-called Nobles and aristocrats.They are the ones that wrote the Bible for King James those in his court.

When some people divide Africa into regions of white and black or sub-saharan that is what the taboo is all about. True history is a taboo they are the one that have made the propaganda and mythicize against African people. Thanks to scientist like Dr. Leaky & Dr. Basil Davidson & Dr. Chiek Anta Diop and many others who are to many to name like Dr.J.A.Rogers,Dr.Kenneth Clark & Dr. John Hope Franklin,Dr.Runoko Rashidi. Read African History books by African writers and African American Historians.

I am being rushed at this moment so please forgive some mistakes in my typing. I think you all get the picture.

They don't mention The Falashen Jews who are the origin of Judism.
Ethiopia. The Lion of Juda.

They don't tell the truth for example about Saint Benedict the Moor and all others before him such as Socrates or Plato.and all the great mathematicians and men of science who they lived in our shadows until they were able to subdue them with trickery and deception.

Therefore when folk write about history they are taken from the those who made all truth TABOO and that is why there is so much confusion.
Even by those who say they have Ph.D. in the field of knowledge,unless you go deeper or you join some organization which tell some of the truth behind close doors.
I must go,please forgive the rush.
I encourage you to seek the truth as Amilcar Cabral said Return To The Source. There are discoveries every day in Africa in India in China in what is called South America (Brasil) oh my goodness history has to be rewritten. Well as Basil Davidson has said Africa in Transformation.

That is all for now.

I guess you are reacting to the thread about the capeverdean identity?

the word taboo was used because it is a taboo, to claim that capeverdeans are portuguese. Why because the ones who do so, are accused of trying to better themselves to compare themselves with the "great" whites (ironical). when they are just trying to claim their real identity.

But it is still a taboo in the capeverdean identity to claim that you are portuguese because it is mis-ineterpreted. read again the original article


Here is what they wrote
"Do you believe that, thirty years after independence, Cape Verdeans have reached a conclusion regarding their identity?

It continues to be a process. Immediately after independence came the phase of the re-Africanization of spirits, with the PAIGC/PAICV, although this was never something pacific, for the oldest areas of settlement, beginning in 1462, are more closely linked to Africa, while beginning in 1991 we saw an erasure of the symbols and signs representing this. All you have to do is take a look at the Constitution or the national symbols: we no longer have the colors of Africa or the black star on our flag, which is now blue and white with stars, something closer to Europe. These are two different visions, two different perspectives. From time to time, when there are problems and regionalist issues arise, this comes to the surface. I think it’s a process that continues and should be discussed. It’s still somewhat taboo, but it has to be discussed on scientific foundations and without complexes and not in political terms, with positions being defended depending on whether one is a supporter of the MpD or the PAICV.

So are Cape Verdeans more African or European?

We are what we are because we have both components, without denying the African component or overvaluing the European component.
"

and I think, that I am the only one here trying to break this taboo, by facing this difficult issue.

That is nt very accurate that you are the only one that is trying to break the taboo. I have been saying for at least 40 years we should not identify people by color Black & White because it only perpetuates racism. Anyone who is using color to identify people is playing the color code system. (Inferior or superior) On the other hand you and others have been saying black people and white people. I will be happy when we stop doing that.
Africas have many nations many enthnic groups same for Europe or South America and North America,Central America and Asian countries or if you like to say sub-sahara . The reason why African American is the best for those Africans who were brought here to the USA are called African Americans is because they lost their ethnicity or tribe or nation after 450 years of slavery. Just to say they are black is not correct,some times in the same famliy they are many shades from dark to light.
I hope we can all get on the same page with this understanding. Everyone is not the same because they may look alike. Don't you agree?
What is important we are humans and the best of us is not based on color of skin but by the content of Character and good behavior and kindness to each other. To be for peace and justice for all mankind.We have a long way to go yet Humans are still at a lost,perhaps we will arrive to that point sooner then later. Even the English dictionary make the point of definition based on racism
Love and peace for all.
Thank you for your kindness.
Please let us work for brotherhood with peace and morabeza for all.
Manu Salah
I am slowly loosing my sight when it happens color will not be important to me but a fading memory of what was. Kindness is all that matters.
Be good to some one today.

Manu Salah says this:
The Caboverdiano knows for sure that he or she are male or female we are of the human origin of man and woman. That is our identity.

All the other arguments are inmmaterial. That is the problem of those who are ignorant.

What is important is that we want to do the best in order to be good people and strive to be the best in kindness and to be mature,to make sound judgement and to attaine a desired state of being civilized. To be of sound mind and to be sober marked by temperance and moderation,showing no excessive or extreme qualities of fancy emotion or prejudice. To understand human weakness and to do all we can do to make correction in our behavior to be better.

To learn the art of love and forgivness to understand that it is human to err and divine to forgive. To strive for peace,joy and happiness. To have the courage to change when we have made a mistake and seek guidance from those who can help us to be better.

"Wisdom is the principal thing;therfore get wisdom:and with all thy getting get understanding" Proverbs 4-7

Peace Be Unto you.
