This is the first segment in a series of conversations between Dr. Chancellor James Williams and his research assistant Oggi Ogburn at Dr. Williams' home in Washington, DC.

Elder Mkuu Mzee for the Raising Awareness Group and Dr. Tdka Maat Kilimanjaro for the University of Kmt Press discuss various topics centered around the importance of educating our Afrikan youth. Topics included the Expanded Edition of the book "Maat".

sbA Tdka Maat Kilimanjaro suggests that we all read the great living scholar (that's right, he's still alive) Ayi Kwei Armah's works. We should especially dive into the three works we reference in the conversation, Two Thousand Seasons, The Healers and Kmt in the House of Life.


The discussion continues with the new full color volume release of "Kmt Indigenous Afrikan Population", the "Expanded Edition of Afrikan Time" and many other interesting perspectives. The discourse was a lively one.

Non-African Linguists be like “This is a new way to quote!”
Abstract:
While conventional wisdom tells us that Asante Twi complementizer sɛ is derived from se 'say' (Amfo, 2010; E. Kweku Osam, 1994; E Kweku Osam, 1996), it is at least worth considering that understanding it as connected to homophone and homonym sɛ 'be like, resemble' would, indeed, be like the Black English way of quoting as noted by Lord (1993:151). The complementizer sɛ is typically glossed as ‘that.’ However, a corpus-based analysis of Asante Twi’s perhaps not-so-distant cousin, Black English, may point us to a more accurate alternative gloss, ‘(be) like’. It has been found that “‘be like’ is now so widely used it accounted for 20 percent of similar uses of the verb ‘be’ among a group of young AAE speakers in North Carolina” (Peterson, 2015). Asante Twi may help us understand the variable context in which aspectual/habitual be is found and also the varied context in which like is found, both of which linguists have found to be “notoriously difficult” to understand against the backdrop of European-descended varieties of English (Hofwegen & Farrington, 2015). We argue that Asante Twi sɛ is glossed as ‘that’, not from language-internal evidence, but because of recourse to glossing into “Standard English” rather than Black English which, in actuality, may be more reflective of what is going on in African languages and vice-versa. The connection between Black English be like and Asante Twi sɛ form may be a case of a common African (diasporan and continental) solution to a common linguistic problem.
