What is the role of non-Afrikans with respect to Afrikan Martial arts?

What is the role of non-Afrikans with respect to Afrikan Martial arts? I understand that even asking this question has the potential for heated emotional non-productive debate, but let's try to squash that from the outset so that we can get some actual perspectives and we can know where we all stand on this important issue.

I think their role is within your question itself: RESPECT.
They should respect Afrikan martial arts as the parent of all martial arts and recognize that deference always goes to the elder. The evidence that supports the fact that Afrikan martial arts are the oldest and are, indeed, the root of ALL martial arts, is astounding and voluminous.
Personally, as a teacher, I choose to only take Afrikan people as my personal students, however, I have taught non-Afrikans in workshops and lectures. I also choose not to teach police organizations, the FBI, CIA and other such organizations that others have found great pride in teaching. However, that is my personal choice and I still have respect for the men and women who have chosen a different path, even though I disagree with teaching those who have historically oppressed, murdered, raped and stolen from us.
To ask for this discussion to not get heated is asking a lot, Obadele! LOL! I think that a little heat is good for the circulation. Hopefully, however, we can keep this conversation civil and approach this topic as the warrior-scholars we are.
Thank you for what is sure to be a wonderful discussion.

Peace & Blessings.

I can dig it. As a TA at a university I had krakkkaz in my class and I was faced with a decision of not teaching anyone or only teaching the Afrikans. I decided at that point that I love the Afrikans more than I kyi the whites so I taught the Afrikans and to the best of my ability, did what krakkka teachers do to our children in school. Ignore them.

Since I've left that aspect of academia behind, I've reverted to my original position of not teaching any krakkkaz. Even for my forums, I make it mandatory that everyone has to supply their race to sign up.

I think things can stay civil...but that depends on the knee-grow membership of the site now and in the future.

To me the best role of non-Afrikans who, based on history, current states of affairs and all future indicators, are the enemies of Afrikan people, is the role of victim of Afrikan martial arts.

Abibifahodie! Afrikan Liberation!

I teach Wetzel's Poekoelan Tjimindie - Pentjak Silat methods to the public and keep the Afrakan Montu methods for family. The Indonesian methods are very good enough. The Montu is a re-creative concepts of our ancestors methods...
