1Africa: Can white people be Africans? – Part 1Afrika: Mety ho Afrikana ve ny fotsy hoditra? – Tapany 1
2Can white people be Africans? Sentletse Diakanyo, a South African blogger, does not think so.Mety ho Afrikana ve ny fotsy hoditra? ,tsy dia mino an'izany loatra i Sentletse Diakanyo, Afrikana tatsimo mpitoraka bilaogy .
3He says, “Historically, the term “African” never had any ambiguous meaning.Hoy izy, “raha ara tantara, tsy sarotra mihitsy ny dikan'ny teny hoe “Afrikana”.
4To Africans today it still does not have any ambiguous meaning.Ho an'ny Afrikana amin'izao fotoana, mbola tsy sarotra ihany koa ny dikan'izany.
5Africans across the continent and in the diaspora have long understood its meaning to refer to them as black people.”Ny Afrikana manerana ny kaontinanta sy ny ampielezana kosa no nahalala efa ela ny dikan'izany manohatra azy ho mainty hoditra.”
6His post entitled “We are not all Africans, black people are” has generated interesting reactions online with some people agreeing with him while others consider his arguments to be divisive.Ny lahatsorany mitondra ny lohateny hoe“Tsy Afrikana daholo akory isika, fa izay mainty hoditra” dia niteraka fanehoan-kevitra mahaliana teo amin'ny aterineto miaraka amin'ny olona izay manaiky miaraka aminy raha ny hafa kosa dia mandray ny heviny ho mpampisaraka.
7He says, “You can be an African in any colour as long as he is black. ”:Hoy izy, “Mety ho Afrikana foana ianao amin'izay karazana loko tianao raha mbola mainty koa ianao. ”:
8Henry Ford once said, “You can have any colour as long as it is black”.Hoy i Henry Ford nilaza indray mandeha izay hoe, “Mety hahazo ny loko rehetra ianao raha mbola mainty koa izany”.
9Similarly, native inhabitants of Africa say, “You can be an African in any colour as long as he is black.”Mitovy amin'izany ihany, milaza ny mponina teraka tany Afrika hoe, “Mety ho Afrikana amin'ny loko rehetra ianao raha mbola mainty ihany koa.”
10There has been a sudden demand for an African to come in a variety of colours.Nisy fangatahana tampoka ho an'ny afrikana ho tonga amin'ny karazana loko.
11During days of slavery when an African was a commodity traded over the counter, there was never a demand for him in any colour but black.Nandritra ny andro maron'ny fanandevozana raha toa natao entana famarotra ny Afrikana, tsy nisy mihitsy loko nangatahana taminy afa-tsy ny mainty.
12There is now an attempt in the 21st century to redefine the colour scheme of an African.Ankehitriny misy ny andrana amin'ny taonjato faha 21 amin'ny famaritana ny lokon'ny Afrikana.
13Whites want to be classified as African.Te horasina ho toy ny Afrikana ihany koa ny fotsy hoditra.
14Sentletse argues that even Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected president of South Africa, understood the true meaning of the term “Africa”:Miaro ny heviny i Sentletse fa na i Nelson Mandela, filoha voalohany voafidy ara-pomba demokratika tany Afrika Atsimo aza , dia nahay ny tena dika marin'ny teny hoe “Afrika”:
15On the occasion of Nelson Mandela's inauguration as the first democratically elected president of the Republic of South Africa, he said: “The South Africa we have struggled for, in which all our people, be they African, coloured, Indian or white, regard themselves as citizens of one nation is at hand.”Teo amin'ny fanokanana an'i Nelson Mandela ho Filoha voalohan'ny Repoblikan'ny Afrika Atsimo voafidy tamin'ny fomba ara-demokratika, hoy izy: “I Afrika Atsimo izay nitolomantsika, firenena izay ahitana ny vahoakantsika rehetra, na izy Afrikana, na hafa fihodirana, Indiana na fotsy hoditra, eo an-tanany ny maha olom-pirenena iray azy.”
16In his book, Facing Mount Kenya, the first president of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta, made it clear that the term “African” meant the native inhabitants of Africa:Ao amin'ny bokiny, Manoloana ny Havoanan'i Kenya [Facing Mount Kenya] , ny filohan'i Kenya voalohany , i Jomo Kenyatta, no nanazava tsara fa ny teny hoe “Afrikana” dia midika hoe ireo mponina teratany Afrika:
17“The African is conditioned, by cultural and social institutions of centuries, to a freedom of which Europe has little conception, and it is not in his nature to accept serfdom forever.”“Ny Afrikana dia voavolavola, eo amin'ny rafi-pitondrana ara-kolotsaina sy ara-tsosialy nandritra ny taonjato maro, ho amin'ny fahalalahana izay zara raha hitan'ny Eoropeana, ary tsy amin'ny nahariana azy mihitsy izany hanaiky fanandevozana mandrakizay izany.”
18These are the words of Jomo Kenyatta, first president of Kenya, from the conclusion to his book Facing Mount Kenya in 1938.Ireo no tenin'i Jomo Kenyatta, Filoha voalohan'i Kenya, avy amin'ny teny famaranan'ny bokiny Facing Mount Kenya tamin'ny taona 1938.
19Kenyatta, too, does not appear to have suffered from the illusion that the term “African” referred to anybody else other than native inhabitants of Africa - the black people.I Kenyatta ihany koa, dia miseho ho toa tsy mijaly amin'ny fampiasana ny teny hoe “Afrikana” hilazàna ny olona rehetra ankoatry ny mponina teratany avy any Afrika - ny mainty hoditra.
20Sentletse makes a distinction between national identity and racial identity:Avahan'i Sentletse ny eo amin'ny famantarana ny zom-pirenena sy ny famantarana ara-piaviana:
21While ancient and recent history confirms that whites are not Africans; the notion that they are persists, primarily born from the lack of distinction between racial and national identity.Raha toa ny tantara taloha sy ankehitriny ka manamafy fa tsy Afrikana ny fotsy hoditra; dia satria mitoetra foana ny fiheverana azy ireny, teraka voalohany indrindra avy amin'ny tsy fahampian'ny fanavahana ny ara-piaviana sy ny zom-pirenena.
22Europeans who migrated and settled Africa through naturalisation assumed the national identity of countries in which they adopted as their own.Ny Eoropeana izay nifindra monina ka nipetraka taty Afrika tamin'ny alalan'ny fakàna ny zom-pirenena dia manaiky tsara ny famantarana ny zony eo amin'ny firenena izay noraisiny ho toy ny azy ireo mihitsy.
23Their descendants in later generations through birth assumed the national identity of those countries, not the racial identity as Africans.Ireo taranany aty amin'ny andiany manaraka amin'ny alalan'ny fahaterahana koa dia hizaka ny zom-pirenena eo amin'ireo firenena ireo, fa tsy amin'ny ara-piaviana hoe Afrikana izy.
24They remained whites or Europeans, as oppressors of Africans saw themselves.Mijanona ho fotsy hoditra izy na Eoropeana, tahaka ny fahitàn' ireo mpampijaly nyAfrikana azy ireo.
25No white person can either through birth or naturalisation assume an identity of African.Tsy misy olona fotsy hoditra afaka mizaka ny zom-pirenena Afrikana amin'ny alalan'ny fahaterahana na amin'ny alalan'ny fangatahana zom-pirenena.
26African is not and has never been a national identity.Tsy famantarana ara-pirenena ny Afrikana ary tsy ho famantarana ara-pirenena mihitsy.
27Nowhere does a country called Africa exist.Tsy misy firenena na iza na iza antsoina hoe Afrika.
28Even Arabs in North Africa are not Africans:Na ny Arabo any Afrika Avaratra aza tsy Afrikana:
29Our historical revisionists who want to be reclassified as Africans and no longer as Europeans or white, tend to look north at Arab countries and claim, in their state of bewilderment, that Arabs are Africans, therefore, they too have the right to proclaim themselves African.Ireo mpamerina mandinika ny tantarantsika izay te-hosokajiana ho Afrikana fa tsy ho Eoropeana mihitsy na hoe fotsy dia mirona mijery mianavaratra any amin'ny firenena Arabo sady mitaky, ao anaty fisavoritahana, fa hoe Afrikana ny Arabo, noho izany, manan-jo ihany koa izy ireo ny hilaza ny tenany ho Afrikana.
30Perhaps it is the lack of historical knowledge that leads some to conclude that Arabs are Africans.Angamba noho ny tsy fahampian'ny fahalalana ara-tantara no nahatonga ny sasany hilaza fa Afrikana ny Arabo.
31The term “Arab” denote the racial identity of people from the Arabian Peninsula who conquered Egypt (then part of the Byzantine Empire) and Libya in the AD 600s and ended up controlling much of the northern part of Africa, including Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.Ny teny hoe “Arabo” dia avy amin'ny famantarana ny olona ara-piaviana avy any amin'ny Peninsule Arabo izay nambabo an'i Egypta (izany hoe lasa anisan'ny Fanjakana Byzantine) sy Libya tany amin'ny taona faha600 taorian'i Kristy ary tonga hatrany amin'ny fifehezana akaiky ny faritra avaratr'i Afrika, isan'izany i Alzeria, Tonizia sy i Maraoka.
32Therefore, Arabs are not Africans.Noho izany, tsy Afrikana ny Arabo.
33Afrikaans, a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa and Namibia, is not an African language:Ny Afrikaana, fiteny Zermanika Tandrefana ampiasaina any Afrika Atsimo sy Namibia, dia tsy fiteny Afrikana:
34It is puzzling that whites readily accept African languages to be exclusively those commonly known as black languages; yet they cannot accept that the description “African” exclusively refers to Black people.Tena mahagaga mihitsy hoe ny fotsy hoditra dia vonona ny hanaiky fa ny fiteny Afrikana fantatry ny rehetra dia ireo fitenin'ny mainty hoditra manokana, na izany aza tsy eken'izy ireo fa “natao ho an'ny mainty hoditra irery ihany ny famaritana hoe Afrikana” .
35The notion that Afrikaans is an African language is as ridiculous as any claim to Africanism by the progeny of European settlers.Ny filazana fa teny Afrikana ny Afrikaans dia tsy izy mihitsy toy ny fangatahan'ny taranak'ireo mpiavy Eoropeana ny resaka Afrikanisma.
36Afrikaans by its origin is bastardised Dutch and as some say, “another form of Fanagalo”.Ny Afrikaans raha avy any fotony dia Danoa notefitefena ary araka ny ambaran'ny sasany dia “endrika hafan'ny Fanagalo”.
37It is not an African language in the same manner that Arabic-dialect in Egypt is not an African language.Tsy fiteny Afrikana mitovy amin'ny tsy maha-teny Afrikana ny tenimparitra Arabo any Egypta io.
38At the time of writing this post, there were 281 comments on his post.Tamin'ny fotoana nanoratana ity lahatsoratra ity, dia nahitana tsikera 281 teo amin'ny lahatsoratra.
39Let's look at a few of them:Andeha hojerena ny vitsivitsy amin'izy ireo:
40Perry Curling-Hope says:Milaza i Perry Curling-Hope:
41I was born in South Africa and so were my parents and their parents.teraka tany Afrika Atsimo aho ary toy izany koa ny ray aman-dreniko sy ny ray aman-drenin'izy ireo.
42That makes me African!!!Izay no maha Afrikana ahy!!!
43(I'm a so-called coloured by the way, not white).(Izaho izany no antsoina hoe miloko raha izany, fa tsy fotsy hoditra).
44If you're gonna use this argument then we might as well go all the way back to the first humans. that makes us all African.Raha izay tohan-kevitra izay no ampiasainao, dia mety hiverina any amin'ny olombelona voalohany isika. izay mahatonga antsika Afrikana.
45I think this idiotic blog amounts to hate speech and it typical neo-African racism.Mihevitra aho fa ity bilaogy adala ity dia mamafy resaka fankahalana sy fanavakavaham-bolon-koditra fanaon'ny Afrikana vaovao .
46wannaknow says:Hoy i wannaknow :
47I'm white.Fotsy hoditra aho.
48I was born in Africa.Teraka tany Afrika.
49So were my parents.Any koa izany ny ray aman-dreniko.
50And grandparents.Ary ny raibeko sy ny renibeko.
51I can trace my lineage, both maternally and paternally, back to 7 generations born in Africa before we start finding Europeans.Afaka fantariko ny fiaviako, avy amin'ny reniko sy avy amin'ny raiko, miverina any andiany 7 tany aloha tany samy teraka taty Afrika talohan'ny nahitàntsikaa ny Eoropeana.
52My family has been here longer than most Americans have baan in America, and yet, they have the right to call themselves “American”.Efa teto efa ela ny fianakaviako miohatra amin'ny ankamaroan'ireo Amerikana tany Amerika, nefa, izy ireo aza manana zo hiantso ny tenany hoe “Amerikana”.
53I've never been to europe - nevermind have an ancestry there.Mbola tsy tany Eoropa mihitsy aho - tsy ilaina marihana akory hoe tsy manana razabe any.
54You remove my right to call myself an African - yet, I cannot call myself European.Esorinao amiko ny zoko hiantso ny tenako hoe Afrikana - nefa, izaho tsy afaka ny hiantso ny tenako hoe Eoropeana.
55Then what am I?Dia inona izany aho?
56Are you so bold as to devoid me of any identity?Fa ianao mihitsy izany no iza no hanàla amiko ny maha izaho ahy?
57Am I to live seasonless in this world where neither Africa nor Europe would take me?Natao hiaina tsy amin'natony eto amin'ity tany ity, izay na i Afrika na i Eoropa samy tsy misy te handray ahy ve aho?
58I am white.Fotsy hoditra aho.
59I am an African.Ary Afrikana.
60If this bothers you, then its your mind that is narrow, not mine.Raha manelingelina anao izany, dia ny fisainanao izany no ratsy, fa tsy ny ahy.
61Christopher says he is not an African but he belongs in Africa:Milaza i Christopher fa tsy Afrikana izy fa an'i Afrika:
62Being a person of no colour, I LOVE this! makes absolute sense… the facts are 'spot on'… it's logical and well thought through. I'm not an African but know for sure that I *belong* in Africa…Olona tsy manana loko, TIAKO izany! tena misy dikany tanteraka…'mazava be'ny zava-misy… lozika ary tena nodinihina tsara izany. tsy Afrikana ny tenako saingy mahafantatra tsara fa *an'* i Afrika aho…
63X Cepting says no one can claim ownership over the term “African”:Milaza i X Cepting fa tsy misy olona afaka miteny ho tompon'ny famaritana hoe “Afrikana”:
64I am Indian and African.Indiana aho ary koa Afrikana.
65Period.Izay ihany.
66I was born on this continent, and have never been to India.Teraka teto amin'ity kaontinanta ity aho, ary mbola tsy tany Inde mihitsy.
67You have no ownership over the term, and I am comfortable using it to describe me.Tsy tompon'ny famaritana samirery ianao, ary mahazo aina tsara aho mampiasa azy hamaritako ny tenako.
68yeahboet says:Hoy i yeahboet :
69I was born in Zambia (only lived there for 2 years), of white South African parents, I consider myself a South African.Teraka tany Zambia aho (2 taona fotsiny aho no nipetraka tany), manana ray aman-dreny Afrikana Tatsimo, mihevitra ny tenako fa Afrikana Tatsimo.
70If asked by foreigners for my nationality, I am a South African and if necessary to qualify further - a white South African.Raha misy vahiny manontany ny zom-pireneko, dia Afrikana Tatsimo aho ary raha ilaina ny mamaritra lavitra kokoa - dia Afrikana Tatsimo fotsy hoditra.
71I don't classify myself as a European though, as I don't belong in Europe.Tsy manasokajy ny tenako ho Eoropeana mihitsy aho na izany aza, satria tsy an'i Eoropa.
72However, I also don't classify myself as an African as I agree with Sentletse, there may not be a universal definition but we all know what we understand by African.Na izany aza, tsy manasokajy ny tenako ho Afrikana ihany koa noho izaho manohana ny hevitr'i Sentletse, mety hoe tsy hisy famaritana iraisam-pirenena izany nefa isika rehetra kosa mahafantatra hoe inona no heverintsika amin'ny teny hoe Afrikana.
73Ask any citizen of America to classify themselves and they will say “American” but we all know they actually mean USA American not all America in the geographic sense.Manontania mponina iray any Amerika hanasokajy ny tenany ary hilaza izy fa “Amerikana” nefa isika rehetra mahalala hoe Etazonia Amerikana no tian-dry zareo lazaina fa tsy i Amerika rehetra amin'ny dikany ara-toerana.
74I don't understand the problem I am happy to be a South African - hela!Tsy azoko ny olana raha izaho aza faly amin'ny maha Afrikana Tatsimo ahy - hela!
75A true South African is a descendant of the Khoi-San:Ny tena Afrikana Tatsimo marina dia ny taranak'i Khoi-San:
76Sentletse, With your logic, it is equally true that no African has the right to call himself South African unless he is descended from the Khoi-San.Sentletse, Raha ny lojikanao, dia tena marina fa tsy misy Afrikana manana zo hilaza ny tenany fa Afrikana Tatsimo raha tsy hoe angaha taranak'i Khoi-San.
77They were the only tribes in this area until they were invaded and dispossessed of their land.Ireo ihany no foko eo amin'io toerana io mandra-panitsakitsakaa azy ireo sy nanesorana azy ireo teo amin'ny taniny.
78MoBear says:Milaza i MoBear:
79Fine you're an African and I am an European - now what?Izao izany, ianao Afrikana ary izaho Eoropeana - dia ahoana? Ny nahaterahana any Sina tsy mahatonga ny olona iray ho Sinoa:
80To be born in China does not make one a Chinese:Miaraka aminao aho amin'izay Sentletse, ny nahaterahana tany Sina tsy mahatonga ny olona iray ho Sinoa.
81I am with you on this one Sentletse,to be born in China does not make one a Chineese.Fanampin'izany, raha sokajian'ny Misiteran'ny Anatiny ho Afrikana ny mainty, dia tsy Afrikana isika, fa ny Mainty hoditra no izy. Can white people be Africans?
82And besides,if the forms at Home Affairs classify blacks as Africans,then we are not all African,Black people are.Sentletse Diakanyo, a South African blogger, does not think so. He says, “Historically, the term “African” never had any ambiguous meaning.
83To Africans today it still does not have any ambiguous meaning.
84Africans across the continent and in the diaspora have long understood its meaning to refer to them as black people.”
