Bulanism 

Bulanism, a racial philosophy, coined by Reuel-Azriel, is the philosophical and political stance that centers around the axiomatic identification and celebration of one's own qualities, beliefs, personality traits, appearance, and expressions of racial identity, and the active advocacy for the use of the term "Bulan" as a more empowering and accurate classification for people of sub-Saharan African ancestry and indigenous peoples of Oceania, free from the derogatory and limiting racial slurs and classifications imposed by colonial oppressors.

The core beliefs of Bulanism include the celebration of bulanness (Africanness) the promotion of cultural awareness and the advancement of social and economic justice for people of color. Bulanism is not just a movement, but a way of life that is grounded in the principles of unity, self-love, and empowerment.
"Her commitment to bulanism is evident in the way she proudly identifies herself as bulan and advocates for the recognition and celebration of the cultural contributions of sub-Saharan African and Oceania indigenous peoples."

As this is the urban dictionary, I suppose the best definition would be 'sticking something up your arse'! More specifically and for those of a more 'technically minded' nature, it is the use of suppositories or pessaries (hence killing at least one myth, that the 'pessary' is a small bird that lives in New Zealand!..that's a cassowary).
Balanism doesn't usually have anything to do with masturbation or marsupials, contrary to popular misconception.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
