African American Roll Call

[K.O.N.Y]

I was raised here breh, but I am a Pan Africanist and see all black people from Africa and the diaspora as my brothers and sisters

I feel you. But being AA is not simply any black person born in america

Feel you but this thread is for Black people with roots in Pre Jim Crow America. Many of us come from the same towns and have the same backstories.

According to the OP this thread was intended to see WHO is really AA and how is not, since I believe there are some people or "trolls" who claim they are AA but are not. Again just paraphrasing what the OP intended this thread to be for.

No offense taken breh, I grew up here all my life, not trying to derail the thread. @Poitier I see where y'all coming from, don't know why I couldn't tag you

I dunno specifically what I'm looking for in the Alexa link...

Is middle passagd black reserved for AAs or do Caribbeans claim that as well?

70 % of traffic is stateside

You can total all Islanders and they wouldn't be half our population.

Do any of you know a relative who knew a freedman or woman? My grandfather was raised by his grandma who was enslaved as a child. Crazy to think how recent slavery is.

I think we all might need to come together and make an African American history thread from the Middle Passage to the present.

I guess so I was thinking along the lines of starting from Africa then ending up in the present
