In Afrika, our ancestors in Kemet also used the term Kemtiu, which means "the Blacks". Black people today should never be ashamed of calling themselves Black people or being referred to as Black people. It does not have the same negative definition or meaning that Yt people described us, but rather a people of greatness, which Afrikan empires and history prove.

"When they said 'Kemet,' they were declaring 'We are the Black People' - the original people, the first people!" Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop
