African Americans .why did y'all call us Africans "booty scratchers" when we came to this country

DNA is showing where most current people in the diaspora ancestors originated from. So clearly people can see where their ancestors were likely linked to in Africa. Additionally, while many African societies may not have kept written history; they certainly did keep oral history through griots and other sources; so you can certainly narrow down a lot about some of the people who were spirited away. The matters will not be precise, but close enough should do; because millions of people were disenfranchised of their lands, homes and properties.

And we are not using yesterdays laws; we should use today's laws because that the law has become quiet adept at being able to appoint rights to people. Germany was forced to pay England, France and others after the wars; so why shouldn't modern African nations be forced to repay people in the diaspora for the theft of land, materials and family during the trade. They can put the money aside in trust funds to educate every African in the diaspora. They certainly steal enough for the crooked ass chiefs and politicians in their countries; so they need to be forced to pay up.

1) 99% of the nations in Africa didn't exist until 100 yrs ago
2) we don't have the technology or knowledge to trace everyone back at all
3) they don't have the fund
4) all that effort would be better at trying to get reparations from the western companies and nations that we can trace accurately as involved in the slave trade

We know through history who the ethnic groups were that did the enslaving and we also know through modern science and the review of business transactions where most of the current people in the diaspora ancestors originated from. Some of the records mention the enslaving ethnic groups so we can ascribe a modern country to most of those folks.

They have the funds. Any time their Presidents and other politicians can stash away billions in foreign bank account then those c00ns have the money. Hell they selling shyt everyday to; so they have the money. The smart thing to do is for those countries to create trust accounts for education and then allow people to access it for tuition for those who can prove through DNA evidence that they originated in a certain region of the modern country.

No they don't have the money

 

[Samori Toure]

No they don't have the money

They selling oil, gold and diamonds every day. nikkas stealing the money coming in; but they have the money. Hell they finding money to pay gay ass France so they have the money. Paul Biya's wife might have to get smaller wigs, but that is the price that they need to pay.

Just because the nikkas leading the countries don't invest the money in those countries; that doesn't mean that they don't have the money. Because those same nikkas who lead those countries spend lavishly and have hidden bank account in Europe and and the USA. So those leader are clearly paid.

the amount of money they got is no where near the amount Black Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Afro-Latin Americans are due

The user name is part of my DNA ethnicity. And just because a bunch of a$$holes warred against my ancestors to cause them to be enslaved does not mean that ethnicity is not still the same. And if you don't like the truth about the happenings of slavery then your beef should be with the African nations who to this day don't even acknowledge that the shyt happened. To be honest with you the African nations owe millions of disenfranchised and displaced Africans reparations for the actions of their ancestral clansmen. At minimum each and every modern country should grant dual citizenship and land to every person in the diaspora that can prove that their ancestors originated in the regions of the current modern countries.

You do know some of the enslaved clans still live on the continent? Yea I do believe africans in the diaspora that can prove their dna to the clan should get something. But times have changed and many people in Africa have suffered to. Sometimes you guys think africans didn't go through anything and were just chillin over there. Many of my people died to fight off the british who came and burn down cities exiled our king and looted and stole our arts. And in returned gave us bible so we can forget who we are. This thread and OP is dumb and many people went trough bulling as a kid, not saying in doesn't effect someone. But this is obvious a bait thread.

Breh...

What do you think happens to the trauma, bullying, humiliation & fear that is experienced in childhood? You think it disappears?

We are human beings. Mental health is so underrated. For every paper cut, you get a bandaid...however, anytime we get mental damage...we don't always soothe the wound.

I'm sure you've worked at an office or company before and have seen people who are anti-social bullying bosses. You think that doesn't stem from childhood upbringing? Your type of insensitivity is exactly why we have so many issues with respect to social interaction.

Example: If a traumatic experience happened with a police officer to a young black 13 year old... Do you not realize that type of experience may cause long term effects with respect to said 13 year old regarding his view of police?

Bullying works the same.

I was bullied in school but I can't seem to care now that I'm an adult.

 

[Fatboi1]

Heard that term a few times in middle school. I don't think I seriously heard that shyt anymore around High school and nowadays. Seemed like an immature, school yard type shyt.

Africans should thank African Americans for even being allowed to come to the USA in anything but rags and chains. Instead the only thanks African Americans get is derision. Africans don't know it but they were inches away from their continent becoming Australia. African Americans played a part in that too. Your soul is only yours because of what they did. @Poitier @Akan/Igbo

Lol, they called Jamaicans this too back in elementary school.

The fact that clans are still there is how we prove kinship through DNA.

And the fact Africans went through shyt (colonialism) is a direct result of Africans role in the slave trade. Dumb nikkas depopulated whole regions during the trade and then they couldn't defend their lands against the ensuing and inevitable European land grab. The fact that many of the so called leaders during that era weren't smart enough to know that they too would be enslaved is not people in the diaspora problem. Maybe just maybe God gave the ancestors recompense for their wickedness. You can make somebody a slave, but you can't be a slave? Dafuq?

 

[godkiller]

Shut up . Some cac prolly called you worse and yo scary ass prolly accepted it
Only mfs sayin that is cacs and lil kids

Exactly. Shut this thread down.

Oh and @malcolmxxx_45 , why don't you tell the forum what derogatory names the Somalians call all blacks of non-East African descent?

 

[Samori Toure]

To me money is not even the issue. People like in the USA can make it without the cash, but a kid sitting in Haiti or the Dominican or Columbia should be compensated with at minimum an education. There are Historic Black colleges right here in the USA that should be allowed to tap in that trust fund to educate underprivileged children in other parts of the diaspora. In fact Africans still on the continent should be allowed to be educated at the HBCU's too. That move would help all Africans everywhere and then people would stop calling each other booty scracthers and Akatas and dumb shyt like that.

Although you wouldn't care many clans were warring for ages and when they got the opportunity to sell them for goods instead of killing them of enslaving them, jumped at the chance. Some were forced to sell slave them some weren't. My people actually sent free or hid run away slaves who came into our land. Happened so often a British captain went to complain to the king and was enraged and tried to shoot him but one of the guards jumped in front of the king and died. The British guy was tied up and had to go to court and then later was hanged. It's was taboo to sell a slave or your own people in the culture, that's why some began to use scar to identify themselves from others.

My point is regardless of the ethnicities of the people being sold and the ethnicity of the sellers; there were wrongs against humanity being committed. Other societies else where acknowledge that there are crimes against humanity (gassing people in warfare; the Holocaust; nuclear attacks, etc) but people of African descent for whatever reason won't even recognize the wrongs of their ancestors nor will they acknowledge the depravity of the acts. So in my opinion there can be no resurrection of our people without first acknowledging the crap that happened.

Btw I am aware of amount of warring by the clans and the dumb shyt persisted despite the ensuing act by the Europeans and Arabs. nikkas are so fukked up that we will not even stop fighting each other long enough to fight their common enemies.
