and this premise is also only relative if you subscribe to white history that every black person in the america's had ancestors who came over on slave boats, i'm not denying the slave trade one bit but to give the white man that much credit is foolish. there very well was who you would call blacks in america before the white man got here, so are the descendants of those people obligated to africa as well? I know that those ancestors traveled from africa to get here so i'm not playing semantics but the thing is, we put civilization in motion, don't limit yourself to anything. and if Africa is in your path by all means go. One of Ol dirty Bastards ancestors was one of the ones who sold parts of manhattan through a bullshit treaty. we should set claim to all not just some, no matter where you go there you are.
utter foolishness there exists no real hard proof that africans lived in the americas before the slave trade
This identity crisis african americans suffer from is so sad
like I said ol dirty bastard, the rapper, one of his great great grandfathers was one of the natives who he could trace his lineage to. now you have to ask is black just what we think an african is? because there are many kinds of so called black people if you want to be general.
do you know that the texas school system is trying to remove slavery from it's history books? they are going to say that those people were migrant "workers" not slaves, immigrants. so if history as recent as 150 some odd years is being tampered with for political reasons, what makes you think that it hasn't happen or isn't still going on?
