Noun Af-ri-keyn

A derogatory term used against black African-Americans. It is used to describe the often violent riots and buffoonery that occur in mass scale when entire communities of colored people of African descent feel a racial injustice has occurred against them.

The word is derived from the combination of African and Hurricane because these events (which are exclusive to people of black African descent) share similarities with a severe storm. Many of the signs of an "Africane" are shop fires, overturned cars, mass looting, and severe violence against weak white men and pregnant white women.

Most Africanes occur on at least a metropolitan scale, but are known to have spread at a both regional and national scale.
Examples:

1. "Earl, get the popcorn ready. There is going to be an Africane after the jury deliberates on the Ferguson case."

2. "Boy, were those niggers chimp'n the fuck out. It was a good thing it didn't turn into a Africane, we wouldn't have made it out alive."

3. "Sharon, don't leave the house now you hear? There's an Africane going on out there. I don't want you to lose the baby."

4. "Today we need to board up the windows and if there's any left buy some additional paramilitary gear and guns for this Africane that is coming."

Any individual whose recent ancestry (in the past 50 years) is from the continent of Africa, in contrast with African Americans.

As an African I know that there are no people indigenous to the continent of Africa besides the people who are commonly referred to as "BLACK" today. This includes all 56 countries of Africa from South Africa, north through Kenya, to Egypt, and from Senegal in the West through Chad, Eastwards to the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean.

Asians (including Arabs, white Indians and East Asians) or pink (white/European) people that call themselves African are not indigenous but children of invaders fleeing persecution from Europe and Asia. They came to Africa seeking better lives free from wars and diseases. Some were peacefully ushered, some had to fight their way in. Hostilities still occur.

Also, Africans are people who because of physical characteristics, fall into the category designated as "BLACK."

But these Black people of Africa have over 30 different skin tones ranging from deep ebony to different sorts of browns to yellows.

Hair textures also range from kinky to curly to wavy. They also exhibit all the shapes of the noses and lip sizes that exist all over the world, giving credibility to the fact that all mankind descended from Black Africans.
