The tradition of women from the African hinterland is starting to become extinct

There are so many traditions in various parts of the world that other nations think are strange, but for certain ethnic groups it is believed to be true. Those who feel the traditions of other tribes are strange, have no right to protest directly, let alone fight them. Because it will give birth to wars between tribes / nations.

The local tribe/nation certainly understands the situation and condition of the area where they live. Including his character and religious beliefs.

For example, the following examples of traditions in Africa:

1. Stomach incision.

Yungas of the Peaceful Afro-Bolivian Kingdom


Mururata is the capital of this kingdom and Julio Bonifaz Pinedo is the king. No majestic palaces, no chariots, no warriors and courtiers. He lived and lived together with his people, without division of office, rank and degree, caste or anything, even though he ruled over 2,000 inhabitants. It was difficult to recognize him because this king mingled with the other villagers. In fact, anyone can buy a bunch of bananas from King Pinedo without realizing his title. He runs a small grocery store in his brick and cement home. One of the shopkeepers was his wife, Queen Angelica Larrea. They also sell mandarin oranges from their garden, canned food, soft drinks, and a number of cakes and other essentials.

Can’t white people also do bad things

That’s the rhetoric of Muhammad Ali in his interview with the BBC in 1971, and viral on Youtube, “Why everything is white?”.

In the world of politics, colonialism, war, exploitation, of course, it is very easy to find evidence of this rhetoric. Even in the world of sports it is evident that the crimes committed by white people are evident. Remember the treatment that Eddy “the sheik” Gardner experienced? Gardner, as one of the foremost marathon runners, along the race route experienced a hail of racial slurs and death threats from white men who were outraged at the sight of a black man beating a white competitor. In one case, a white farmer put a gun to Eddie’s back and followed him on horseback all day, challenging him to pass other white men. In another case, a mob surrounded Eddie’s coach car and threatened to set it on fire.


This unsportsmanlike and despicable story was shared by America’s First Black Sports Superstar Cycling champion Marshall Walter “Major” Taylor. The son of a successful poor man became an American professional cyclist.

"Betraying Malcolm was the mistake I regret the most in my life"

That's the memoir Muhammad Ali wrote in his biography, The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey

Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali were best friends. In fact, Malcolm was the only torch that ignited the spirit of reaching the pinnacle of achievement as "King of the Heavyweight Boxing World".

Malcolm Little aka Malcolm X and Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali are two best friends. Cassius—he only changed his name in 1964—who was still “green” at that time, was fascinated by the charisma of Malcolm, the orator of the Nation of Islam group.

With a towering slender body, a fiery style without fear, Malcolm "bewitched" black groups in the United States, who for years were treated as second-class citizens. Although slavery was abolished centuries ago, the status of African descent in America at that time was still considered unworthy of being equal to Caucasian descent.

A nigger man named Salem Poor behaved like an experienced officer

 Salem Poor (1747-1802)

The story of the American Revolutionary War would not be complete without acknowledging Salem Poor's extraordinary contribution in ensuring America's founding. He was among the many African Americans who fought against the British who controlled Breed's and Bunker Hills. His bravery as a soldier was recognized and praised.

Born a slave in Andover, Massachusetts began his life as a slave and ended it as an American hero. He was an enslaved African-American man who eventually rose to prominence as a war hero during the American Revolutionary War. The heroic resilience that inspired John Michael Higgins in the Battle of Bunker Hill cemented his place in American history.
Officers at the Battle of Bunker Hill (June 17, 1775) petitioned General George Washington describing Salem's prowess in combat.
