Favorite black people in history

Thomas Sankara.

Made Burkina Faso great again until he was murdered in a coup. He was a commie but he was a good man, wanted to help instead of plundering the country.

Papa Doc Duvalier

Was he the retarded one who went to meet rebels and got killed or am I thinking of Liberia?

Rec me some Boulogne famalam

Haile Selassie, Jomo Kenyatta, N´Krumah

Pic related wasn't too good of a president, but is a total /b/ro and doesn't deserve any of the extreme vitriol thrown his way.

Yeah. Then France had him killed and has had a dictator that favored their plundering for decades since.
Edward James Roye he was the first non-mulatto president who sought to overthrow the mixed race elite who sought thr white life of the south in Africa and create a Liberian nation that brought together Americos and Mande inland.

Dumbass took out a loan he couldn't pay though and the mulattos always hated him for wanting nothing to do with the US.

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin- Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era who is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature.

He was mixed race, apparently he is 1/4th because both his parents had the same African grandfather.

Sir James Douglas first Govenor of British Columbia

Angela Davis, Shirley Chisholm, Eartha Kitt, Assata Shakur, Marcus Garvey, Nina Simone

Jesus Christ

What a fucking Legend

Was about to post this. Man was based.

>but
Fuck off porky

>this is considered black in America

>this Marxist dictator would SURELY turn out good if he wasn't killed, unlike EVERY SINGLE OTHER Marxist dictator who held unto power

When will this meme die? Want a good African leader? Look out Seretse Khama. But then, he wasn't a Marxist and he actually cooperated with the people who were "plundering his country", so he can't fit your narrative.

WE WAZ EVRYWUN

Anne Frank

That was the Liberian dictator going to meet the Nigerian peacekeepers.

Kanye West

He definitely deserves some of the shit, but nothing more than most presidents would. At the end of the day, his whole term was just mostly unremarkable. Possibly due to clashes with Congress, but still.

It worked because Tswana people were the only major nation, they sat on gold, Copper, coal and diamonds and he basically sold out to Debeers. Meanwhile most households are food insecure, HIV is rampant and most are poor as fucj with limited international power even in the region of southern Africa.

The double great grandfather is an even more interesting figure desu

Bokasa

Frantz Fanon

The Goat of Goats
The king of kings

We wuz furerz

This.

I know it's bland but, this. I'm black and reading his auto biography in highschool made me think there's no excuse for black people today. Hard work, dedication, and a little help goes a long way. During fucking slavery he was able to make a great man of himself.

Liberia.

>No Scipio Africanus in this thread

Am I really on Veeky Forums

he literally ordered the summary execution of American citizens.

>control+f hannibal

wtf

Malik Agar for obvious reasons

The funny guys!

not that I disagree but he was pretty lucky for a slave

...

He actually seems like a really cool guy

Jean Jacques Dessalines

and?

They were terrorists. Next you'll tell me that the police aren't justified in killing people who are about to detonate a bomb and kill hundreds.

Juan de Pareja, a slave Velasquez inherited, freed and employed as an assistant. Mixed his colors. Also a painter in his own right, although I don't know how large his body of work is.

>travelled to Mecca

This nigga created the welfare state before it was cool

One drop rule

I know he technically isn't allowed on this board because of the 25 year rule but I really admire Barrack Obama.
Fredrick Douglass was pretty cool I guess.
Ralph Ellison is another favorite

>This nigga created the welfare state before it was cool

I guess its genetic after all

Probably one of the most competent political players ever to come out of the Caribbean

Name?

Mansa Musa, Muslim King of the Empire of Mali

Yeah, I agree. As a black man I feel we should just embrace out heritage for what it is, history should be as objective as possible and should be about studying without this need to "keep up with the Jones's" jealousy. It's like when people say X culture is better than Y culture. It might be true when you look at it through certain perspectives but that is not the point.

>no Idi Amin
it's like you don't want to challenge the guerrillas that are about to depose you to a boxing match

Ayyy, my great grandfather worked in his administration.

I've got some books about him laying around that I should get to.

I found his discussion of race very intellectual and fair. I also like that he realized the economic problems that did and would face black people, he did not blindly focus on race like some people. If he were around today he would not approve of BLM, he was one for action but it was always thought out and clear.

>ethiopians
>black

I am kidding, I like how he wasn't a megalomaniac like other royalty of the time and he denied his attributed godliness in favor of christianity.

I think its implied we are talking about sub-saharan africans.

Why is this allowed?

The Anglos?
G*rmans?

oh sorry normie, the jews

He only wanted good for his country, too bad he drank the socialist kool aid and fucked up his country.

People are thinking of canonizing him.

Also this.

Alexandre Dumas

Whoa cool, what did he do? How did the coup affect things?

Would Ghana have been better off if it stuck with the Eastern Bloc?

Posts like this are embarrassing. Are you underage or just new?

le /pol/ meme request

Mbaye Diagne

Really activates my almonds.

I've heard that Montezuma and Mansa Musa are the same person. It's interesting because Mansa did infact send imperial voyages to South America even before his journey to Mecca.

Someone should check me on that though.

>Blahyi has said he led his troops naked except for shoes and a gun. He believed that his nakedness was a source of protection from bullets.
>Blahyi now claims he would regularly sacrifice a victim before battle, saying, "Usually it was a small child, someone whose fresh blood would satisfy the devil."
>"So, before leading my troops into battle, we would get drunk and drugged up, sacrifice a local teenager, drink the blood, then strip down to our shoes and go into battle wearing colorful wigs and carrying imaginary purses we'd looted from civilians. We'd slaughter anyone we saw, chop their heads off and use them as soccer balls. We were nude, fearless, drunk yet strategic. We killed hundreds of people--so many I lost count."

>We were nude, fearless, drunk yet strategic
Words to live by.

Malcolm X.

But for memes' sake, Marcus Garvey.

Freeway Rick Ross also seems like a really good guy.

It's so strange, the further back you go the more African-American writers you find who're just urging people to conduct themselves properly and get on with it. I remember reading Zora Neale Hurston's anthropological work - she basically decided that the slavery blame-game was pointless, since everyone (including African tribes) were in on it. She then decides that 'fuck it, you are what you want to be'. We're all bags of stardust, I think the metaphor went

>"For our declaration of independence, we should have the skin of a white man for parchment, his skull for an inkwell, his blood for ink, and a bayonet for a pen!"
Man, the British really did a good decision in allying with him against the French.

>Marcus Garvey

If I didn't know you were posting him just to annoy me i'd write a really long angry post about why you should be shot in the back of the head.

came here to post this

WUZ

KANGZ!!!

Mansa Musa, king of Mali and one of the richest people in history

>the richest people in history
wut

Too easy

he also caused gold inflation in egypt that is still felt today

>richest man throughout history
>wanted to bring grand architectural buildings and educational centres to his Empire and sub-saharan Africa in general
>could hire any engineer and architect throughout the muslim world
>this was his magnum opus
>a fucking sand castle
He really knew how to give /pol/tards today the ammunition they needed to ridicule the proud black man.
