ABiA (ABiA -- AH bee ah) is an acronym that represents "Afrikans Born in America". It is sometimes thought of as a backronym, although that is inaccurate, as the acronym was formed absent of any prior knowledge of the word, prior usage, or its definition.
Today, for those who adopt its use, it is as much an actual (though mysterious) physical and geographic place as it is a duty and sensibility. It is a place built on the profound responsibility to SELF-Determine, SELF-Define, SELF-Defend, and SELF-Actualize the vital, vibrant, abundant, prosperous, and productive Family, Community, Nation that best serves our personal and collective interests as ABiAn Peoples of ABiA Nation.
"From the granular to the aggregate, we live and breathe our incessant belief that WE are the ones we've been waiting for." -- Fumotukufu I
ABiA, in its use primarily in the United States of America, also simultaneously carries the more widely known meaning of "Greatness," even in its use as an acronym. It is also the root for the endonym of the people of ABiA Nation i.e., "ABiAN Peoples." It may also be used as an exclamatory rallying cry to battle, to arms, to win, or to succeed. As used in the Black Panther movie by Winston Duke in his portrayal of M'Baku during the pitched battle.

(ha koo NAH — bah DAH lah)
Translation from Kiswahili to English: "There is no alternative."
Common usage is found among those aligned with or sympathetic to the LiFE™ Mission of ABiA Nation. It is mostly a stoically serious and sacred admonition, reminder, and encouragement to remember that the cost of freedom and LiVeration can be steep, yet the reward is priceless! Meanwhile, the failure to proceed and succeed is grave and often terminally dire.
It can often be heard uttered at the end of any order or assignment issued that is inherently dangerous and commonly thought of as unlikely, if not impossible to achieve.
It is, however, often used just as enthusiastically at celebrations of remembrance, victory, conquest, and achievement. In this use case, it is usually performed and heard as a rhythmic chant/incantation and/or call & response. The impromptu performance may be accompanied by strong dance and inspired, organically coordinated, sometimes syncopated chest slapping/thumping with the hand and/or fist until it becomes music and song. It is an often imitated style that is unique to the ABiAN Peoples.
The full embodiment of the sentiment of the Israeli Jewish peoples captured in their legendary "En Brera," is inculcated and alive within the understanding of "hakuna mbadala." There is no alternative.

BLACKNESS™ /ˈblak-nəs/ (BLACKNESS™ — Born Leaders Armed with Crucial Knowledge, Now Enjoying SOL™* Satisfaction) More than a word, more than a concept—BLACKNESS™ is a state of being, a self-determined identity, and an unshakable declaration of LiVeration™.

*SOL | Stand'n On LiVeration™
ABiAn Peoples™ reject external definitions of “blackness” rooted in colonial narratives. BLACKNESS™ is owned, shaped, and lived on our terms.
BLACKNESS™ is a claim to one's own history, legacy, and destiny, free from the constraints of pink supremacy, pfB™ (pink folks' Bullshit) or any imposed ideology. The "Kneegro" Contrast – BLACKNESS™ stands in direct opposition to those who embrace dependency, submission, or cultural dilution. The “kneegro” mindset is a rejection of LiVeration™, while BLACKNESS™ is its fullest expression. The world imitates, appropriates, and capitalizes on ABiAn™ culture—but BLACKNESS™ is the source, the blueprint, and the original.

pfB™ (Pink Folks’ Bullshit):
Definition: A general term designating actions and rhetoric perpetrated by individuals who believe in and act upon the assumed superiority of Caucasoid peoples. These actions and rhetoric are characterized by the devaluation of others to elevate the perceived status of the self and their in-group.
Part of Speech: Noun (uncountable)
Pronunciation: /ˈfǐb/ or /ˈfēb/ (fǐb or feeb)
Etymology: A euphemistic alteration of a common vulgarity combined with a descriptor referencing the skin tone often associated with the aforementioned group.
Usage Notes: This term carries a strong negative connotation and is considered informal. It is used within the specific context of ABiA™ Nation discourse. It implies a lack of factual basis or legitimate justification for claims of superiority, relying instead on historical acts of conquest, violence, and subjugation.

As a direct result of pfB™ behaviors and actions some scholars estimate that for every enslaved African who reached the Americas, several more died in Africa due to the slave trade. Some estimations place the total death toll as high as 100 million or more.
It's crucial to remember that these are estimates, and the true number may never be known. hakuna mbadala.
pfB™ as a tool of the Yurugu is undeniable in its efficacy and efficiency. "They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them they had the land and we had the Bible." — Jomo Kenyatta
The very foundation of the slave trade was the dehumanization of Indigenous & African people. This made it easier to justify their enslavement and mistreatment, and this pfB™ dehumanization can persist in historical accounts that fail to fully acknowledge the humanity and suffering of the victims.
