Hayo yote siyahitaji, nataka uniambie logic ya Bantuism ni nini? nakurahisishia swali zaidi, tunaposema Wabantu tunamaanisha nini?
Kwa sababu ukiangalia maelezo yako yanakinzana na Ubantu wenyewe.
There is no logic of Bantuism, if it is your logic that every black skinned is a Bantu then you are in deep ignorance, because Sind, Hind and Sudanis are people from the same root and fathered by Japhet (Noah's son)
Ref book: Ansaab (Arabic word for Progenies) - Published by The Ministry of Heritage and Culture (Oman) This book was written about 550 years ago.
A separate anthropology book that needs en entire thread to analayse not here.
Now let me take you out of the box:
1) The origin of the word Bantu is the white men (Muzungu, The colonialists) in 1862
2) When the white men first came they.used to call the native black people as Savages (I hate that name calling in my heart)
3) There is no such concept called Bantuism.
4) Then it depends on the meaning of the word 'Bantu' and and its usage. For example when you want to mention a person or persons in Kiswahili (Mtu or Watu)
But when you want to use it on people there you have a problem because:
Word Origin and History for Bantu-1862, was first applied to south African language group in the 1850s by German linguist Wilhelm Heinrich Immanuel Bleek
(1827-1875), from native Ba-ntu "mankind," from ba-, plural prefix, + ntu "a man, person." Bantustan in a South African context is from 1949."

According to The British English Dictionary:
1) a group of languages of Africa, including most of the principal languages spoken from the equator to the Cape of Good Hope, but excluding the Khoisan family: now generally regarded as part of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo family
2. (South African, taboo) (pl) -tu, -tus. a Black speaker of a Bantu language
3.denoting, relating to, or belonging to this group of peoples or to any of their languages
Usage:
Use of the term Bantu is only acceptable outside South Africa and when talking about this group of languages and their speakers.
To refer to African people or peoples, the terms Black and African are acceptable within South Africa (Remember they used that terminology like when they create small Bantustan stooge Townships to segregate South Africans during apartheid.
My take is when the white men (Boers) wanted to soften the word Savage or the K*word so to identify the black natives who are in the cities and work for them they used the word Bantu.
When in one thread I told some of your friends here in JF to read about Cushites, Xerxes, Darius and Cyrus they demanded that I should feed them what ever I got about these people and again I am telling you before hand that I am not going to do that.
So my advise to you guys is do not jump the racial band wagon if your mind is still under the Colonial yoke! Read and search for the truth everywhere. Not just the books in your local Libraries.
I will give you one example, that Mbulu people originate from Algeria. But again where did they start from until they originate from Algeria?
You can also watch this it might help you understand and may be you will ask yourself many questions.
