$25 Million Building in Afghanistan Nobody Needed - G.I. Dough - ProPublica

Boondoggle HQ: The $25 Million Building in Afghanistan Nobody Needed

A Key reason why Education is important, Knowledge breeds confidence and Confidence is not Afraid to Question Ignorance... People with Knowledge, Skill and Abilities are not beholding to others and overwhelmingly question and actively take steps to counter selfish actions of others. Clearly, this is not indicative of all but the majority prevails.

It's Time to Stop Blaming Black-on-Black Crime - The Root

To clarify,its time for Afro America to write its own history and stop relying on the so called ruling class. Native Americans coined the term Forked Tongue for a reason. While one Euro American brother speak peace the other is raging war on your existences. The American so called system of Justice and Media are run by the very same brothers. The term Black on Black was coined by the the very entity seeking to assimilate or  annihilate people of African decent. its time to stand and fight the Stockholm Complex.

Black in Thailand: We’re Treated Better Than Africans, It's All About The Economics

Being Black in Thailand: We're Treated Better Than Africans, and Boy Do We Hate It

AfrocatioN has visited Thailand, Australia and a number of Asian countries, it all comes down to economics. In Asia, Afro American are treated quite well, primarily because of their American status and a strong demeanour. Most Afro American who travel are educated professional and the majority travel with pride and in-turn receive respect. With that said, there is ill in all corners of the world, may it be Asia, Europe or the Americas. I've notice in some places someone will treat you bad until one realize or perceive you have economic clout at which point their attitude change to accommodate the newly learned hierarchy of needs or status.  

Outside the US, Afro Americas are treated as Americans and in some parts better than whites, primarily; because most Euro Americans are seen as being too arrogant.

Asia, Angkor Wat and the Global African - The Foundation of Great Nations

Angkor Wat Review Ancient Black People of Cambodia As Told By The People. Must See Video! - YouTube

For those knowledgeable of Asia, people of African decent were the primary inhabitants as a far north as Japan. Being a minority, most live in the mountain regions and are know as the mountain people.

Khmer (Cambodians) are difference from Khmers rouges (French for "Red Khmers") which are of Malay and Chinese Cambodians. For example, in the Philippines their race is documented as Malayans since Filipino is not a race. 

In 1995 while in the Philippines AfrocatioN took a photo of an Aeta grand mother and daughter on Clark Air Force Base.  The Aeta (Ayta, pronounced EYE-tə), or Agta," who "are an indigenous people who live in scattered, isolated mountainous parts of the island of Luzon, the Philippines"

The Degar, also known as the Montagnard, are the indigenous peoples of the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The term Montagnard means "mountain people" in French and is a carryover from the French colonial period in Vietnam. In Vietnamese, they are known by the term người Thượng (Highlanders) - Wikipedia


Actually, there are many Afro Americans with relatives in the Philippines who look like the Degar of Vietnam.

Michelle Obama on being the African-American and Race Perceptions in the US

Michelle Obama on being the first African-American and race perceptions in the US
"Frustration, "can feel isolating. It can make you feel like your life somehow doesn't matter. And as we've seen over the past few years, those feelings are real," the first lady added.

"They're rooted in decades of structural challenges that have made too many folks feel frustrated and invisible, and those feelings are playing out in communities like Baltimore and Ferguson and so many others across this country."

But while being a minority in the United States can be tough, she said, it was no reason to lose hope." -Michelle Obama

What Happened When Scientists Put African Americans On An African Diet And Africans On An American Diet | ThinkProgress

What Happened When Scientists Put African Americans On An African Diet And Africans On An American Diet
After the exchange, researchers performed colonoscopies on both groups and found that those in the African diet group increased the production of butyrate, a fatty acid proven to protect against colon cancer. Members of the American diet group, on the other hand, developed changes in their gut that scientists say precede the development of cancerous cells.

African Heritage Diet Pyramid | Oldways

African Heritage Diet Pyramid
The African Heritage Pyramid is a guide to the healthy traditional diets of African American ancestors. Base your meals mostly on a variety of foods nearest the base of the pyramid.
  • Go For Greens. Greens like spinach, collards, mustards and turnip greens are a big part of African heritage cuisine; they help keep your blood, liver, and kidneys in top health. Cook them lightly to retain all of their extraordinary nutrients!
  • Every day, enjoy vegetables, fruits, mostly whole grains and cereals, beans, herbs and spices, peanuts and nuts, and healthy tubers like sweet potatoes. These are the core African Heritage foods to shop for, prepare, and eat most often. 

  • Tuna, mackerel, and salmon are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Sardines and other small, bony fish are rich sources of calcium and vitamin D. Enjoy them grilled, broiled, or lightly pan cooked in water and a tiny bit of healthy oil.

  • Use small amounts of healthy oils, like sesame or olive oil for dressings, and canola, red palm oil, or extra virgin coconut oil for cooking.

  • Eat eggs, poultry and other meats moderately, in small portions, or use as garnishes for other dishes. 

  • Consume dairy in small portions, and if you are lactose intolerant, enjoy other calcium-rich foods like greens, beans, and almonds. 

  • Sweets, at the top of the pyramid, are foods to eat less often, limiting them to once a week or at special meals.

  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you drink alcohol, limit it to one glass per day for women, two for men.

Obama, Unfiltered - by Margaret Talev

Obama, Unfiltered - by
"First Lady Michelle Obama, in turn, gave one of her most personal and pointed speeches on her experience as a black woman, at her May 9 commencement address to Tuskegee University in Alabama. She recalled how during her husband's 2008 campaign she faced questions she saw connected to her race and "the fears and misperceptions of others: Was I too loud, or too angry, or too emasculating?" The satirical New Yorker magazine cover with her wearing an afro and machine gun "knocked me back a bit" as did the description of the Obamas' fist bump as a terrorist fist-jab and descriptions of her as "uppity" or "Obama's Baby Mama." She said he had to "block everything out and focus on my truth."
