ABiAN's definitions
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™. Within ABiA™ Nation, BLACKNESS™ is the lived embodiment of Branded-Brilliance™, SOL™ Satisfaction, and the relentless pursuit of SELF™-determination, SELF™-definition, SELF™-defense, and SELF™-actualization. It’s not just a description. It’s an active, thriving presence—the force behind cultural innovation, intellectual mastery, and the unstoppable influence of ABiAn Peoples™.
*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.

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.

A continuous process of personal & collective transformation, LiVeration™, with its capitalized "V" representing "Victory," is a core principle of ABiA™ Nation. Its practice goes far beyond traditional liberation. It is not simply about breaking free from external control it’s about actively shaping a
reality where individuals & communities thrive. It rejects the idea of revolution as a reaction to oppression & instead embraces an evolutionary shift in consciousness, focusing on SELF™-determination, SELF™-definition, SELF™-defense, & SELF™-actualization. Further, it calls for separation from ideologies of resistance as a means to its sacred ends, adopting the principled position "what you resist, persists."
LiVeration™ emphasizes the reclamation of cultural identity, traditions, & values, rejecting forced assimilation into systems that do not serve the best interests of ABiAn Peoples™. It recognizes that true freedom is not granted but owned & built through IT™ (Intentional Transformation).
