H. Rap Brown Breaks down Politics of America on Like It Is with Gil Noble

This video breaks down the major flaws in the Niger Congo area of diffusion(sprachbund) it is not a proven language family and many linguists such as Dixon affirm that it is impossible to reconstruct Proto Niger Congo.

With this said, there is no such thing as Bantoids or Congoids. One cannot use a hypothetical linguistic category and super impose them on historical populations.

The pluridisciplinary approach that is mainstream in contemporary Afrikana studies is the best method when it comes to reconstructing population histories.

Dr K Olson: Problems with Niger Congo Classification

Dr Roger Blench: Niger Congo an Alternative View

This video shows us that the African traditional religion can be practiced at the divine level and at the human level.

At the divine level, the practice is based on the purification of thoughts and aims to recover one's nature as a Child of God (an Osiris), to develop a power, and to protect the community against witchcraft. The power developed at this level is the succor of the ancestors of water (bakulu ba maza), it can only be used in good.

In human practice, the power developed in divine practice is perpetuated as the use of the spirits of forest (bakulu ba nseke) for the protection of the population, its elevation, and its peace. Power in human practice can be used in good as well in evil.
