@ThirdEyeFive
I think you have to explain a lil more to get that goat.

nah, cuz blacks be ignorant as shit to african culture....
they don't know shit about it, be confused as fuck wearing dashiki's for black history month, but don't even know what region or country the shit they rocking comes from....not to mention if that's even where they descend from....africa big as fuck yo.......like fucking humongous....and black people just be trying to group an entire continent in their history without knowing shit about it..
which is insulting as fuck to the struggle of the black american in this country.....blacks went through slavery, were "freed" only to be persecuted, hunted, killed and suffered through generations of shit, yet still managed to make numerous contributions to this country...
there's so much rich history right here in america that blacks made for themselves....struggles they've persevered over..progress made in multiple fields....
we have our own strong history completely separate from whatever african ancestors we have, and we should embrace that instead of denying it....

IMO i don't consider someone an african american, unless they're family is directly from african and they just happened to be born in the states.....
like if you got uncles, aunts, and grandparents that live in ghana, or mali or something like that and half your family speak their language, and you visit them n all that...
that's an African american.....
i ain't no african american.....kai is actually somali living in america....she's an african american......
i'm a black american....everybody in my family from here....

Definitely it should be apart of the culture and DNA samples show which tribes a lot of Black Americans come from. I mean how hard it is to put Nzinga, Mansa Musa, and a few others to show the wonders of West African history.

2 different worlds
different struggles though some can be paralleled
different experiences
now days we are different peoples due to all the admixture even in the smallest percentages
Also "black" is a byword that was exclusively attributed to those of us in the USA that descend from the diaspora/slave trade that had our identity stripped from us.
Africans still have their ethnic tribal identity so therefore it makes no sense for them to lay that aside and take on a vague identity attributed to us lost ones in the Western Hemisphere. If I knew I was a Fulani/Hausa/Igbo/Fon/Ashanti/Wolof/Mandink/etc etc why would I lay that aside in exchange for being called a vague term such as
"black" or "African Amerikkkan", "negro", "colored"
At the end of the day... Igbo have their history
Yoruba have their history
blacks have our history
Keep in mind that Africa is the most diverse continent on the planet so there no sense in lumping us all in together with them. Black is our new tribal identity and we have our own history to take pride in.

I've never seen a black messican pero Cubanos and Afro-Brazilians still celebrate their African culture today.
Celebrate isn't necessarily even the right word. Some of them still identify as African and their lifestyle is a testament to that.

African American history is American history, they just relegate the appreciation of it to the coldest, shittiest month of the year to put on the appearance that they really give a shit about Black Americans.

Yep
Personally the more I learn about africa and its rich history the more perspective I gain
Also the more I discover the more I feel a sense of kinship with the people there ...which I feel is important considering we share the same struggle with colorism, racism, etc
