Get the african blow dart mug.A pejorative that white supremacists and other anti-black racist punks throw at anyone who reminds them that "Jungle Jitters" is not an accurate generalization of pre-colonial Africa. Often associated with the obsolete and erroneous belief that any ancient structure in Africa bigger than a grass hovel must have been built by incoming "Mediterranean Caucasoids" since the native "Negroids" are so incapable (as if the average anti-black racist were any better).
If you credit the indigenous dark-skinned peoples of Africa with civilizations like ancient Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, Mali, Great Zimbabwe, and so on, you're a black supremacist proponent of Afrocentrism.

Get the Afridelphia mug.A white South African who speaks Afrikaans and is of Dutch descent. Known for their love biltong (dried meat), rugby and walking around barefoot in summer. You can easily spot an Afrikaaner, because they'll literally be the only ones wearing shorts and flip-flops in winter. They're also quite large compared to South Africans of British descent.

Get the Afrikaaner mug.A portmanteau of the words "Afro" - meaning something associated with Sub-Saharan Africa, and "appropriation" - as in "cultural appropriation". One who engages in Afropriation is called an "Afropriator".
Afropriation refers to the trend of those in the SSA diaspora (particularly African-Americans) who either inappropriately adopt or outright steal elements of a peoples culture or history. This is seen most often in Afrocentric circles, wherein they commonly target the culture and history of people such as Ancient Egyptians, Berbers (usually incorrectly called "Moors"), Native Americans, and Ancient Israelites. This involves allegations that those peoples were actually "Black" (i.e. Sub-Saharan African) and that, as SSAs, Afropriators have the right to claim and adopt their culture and histories as their own. These actions almost always carry racist overtones, such as harassment and denigration of the peoples modern descendants, usually called "fakes" and racial slurs (examples include "Five-dollar Indians" for Native Americans and "Jew-ish Khazars" for Jews) and conspiracy theory-laden accusations of plots and cabals throughout history seeking to deprive SSAs of some kind of better, glorious past. Afropriators rely heavily on pseudohistorical "evidence", works by discredited authors - ranging from those who retained a modicum of respect from their peers despite their claims, such as Cheikh Anta Diop, to out-right laughingstocks, such as S.O.Y. Keita - and doctored pictures.

Person A: "So I saw this guy engaging in Afropriation earlier."
Person B: "What’s that?"
Person A: "Well you know when you see a Black person haphazardly using ancient Egyptian symbolism and claiming that they were actually Black and that modern Egyptians are just "thieving Arabs"? That’s a prime example of Afropriation."
Person B: "Wow. What complete and utter idiots."

Get the Afropriation mug.A Black American who believes in a delusional form of Pan-Africanism characterized by the belief in the fairytale of a unified, utopian pre-colonial Africa. They have low self-esteem and deny that Black Americans are a distinct ethnicity. Driven by an insatiable need for validation from modern day Africans, they revere them as if they are their ‘ancestors’.
They are ashamed of being American, despite pioneering the ideology. Historically, the vast majority of Black-American icons are proud Americans as millions have fought and played a key role in the foundation of America. They often are accompanied by 'off-Black Americans' who not only attempt to pass themselves off as the ‘non-existent’ Black-American ethnic group, but also maintain their own sense of ethnic pride from their homeland while simultaneously pledging allegiance to the very state they call imperialist, exploitative, and genocidal. This is seldom addressed by Peter Pan-Africans, temporarily displaced possession of a continent they’ve had no connection to for nearly half a millenia.
Peter Pan-Africans suffer separation anxiety, and were traumatized when momma Africa sent them out on a trip for ‘cigarettes’ and never came back for them. Their identity is rooted in perpetual infantilization--Black-American cultural accomplishments are reduced to merely being derivative from the continent. These lost people are acrimonious to Black-Americans who have grown beyond their fantastical ethnic dysphoria.
