These African pages on social media need to be stoped (Especially afrocentrist)

​These kinds of pages only exist to spread misinformation and false theories about what Africa is and what our ancestors did. They refuse to acknowledge the most basic facts supported by science and history, simply to fulfill their obsession with what they believe 'true Africa' to be. They will look you in the eye and claim that North Africans aren't indigenous to this continent, that all Egyptians were Black, that there was a Black African king in the Americas before Columbus, that Jewish people were Black, that Beethoven was Black, and many other things—all without any proof.

They also love to talk about 'African culture' as if it were a monolith, while defending certain legacies of colonialism as 'African culture,' such as homophobia (I am not saying gay people were always welcomed, but it was certainly normalized in many places). They also love to talk about polygamy for absolutely no reason.​We have had many great African civilizations in the past; there is no need to create false theories or spread misinformation.

Pela mudança do Hino nacional e Bandeira de Angola

Tanto a bandeira de Angola, quando o hino, NÃO representam o povo angolano e sua complexidade. São ambos desenvolvidos sob a égide comunista e visão política do MPLA. Inclusive, Manuel Rui Monteiro, disse em entrevista na rádio (não lembro qual) que o atual hino de Angola, não foi o primeiro que ele escolheu, e que precisou de trocas significativas em tempo recorde para se adequar a visão do MPLA. A bandeira de Angola é similar a do MPLA, e isso não me parece bom. São dois símbolos criados pela guerra fria, e que não retratam a nossa diversidade e complexidade.
