Acknowledged Africans & Unacknowledged Africans
The terms “Acknowledged Africans” and “Unacknowledged Africans” used within the TALO Leadership Theory have been around for at least three decades, and reinforce the objective of “post-racial,” which in essence means to move beyond race. It is the theory's position that in order to become “post-racial,” it is important to first allow that there is only one true race, the African race, and not numerous races as often debated and constructed. The Ohio State University professor and psychologist Linda James Myers, for example, was one of the first to refer to two groups of people, those of acknowledged African descent and those of unacknowledged African descent.
Acknowledged Africans would include black people, Pardos, some Pretos, some Latinos, some people from the Middle East/Asia Minor, some Asians, etc.
Unacknowledged Africans would include white people and other non-black people; some people who don’t want to be black, and some who don’t know that they are.
