Are haitians the diaspora that kept closest to their African roots?

[Man]

In my travels,We all the same

We all like burning meat, drums/base, booty, chatting shyt and all have drunkard uncles

But it goes Zoes>>rastas>>south americans>> other caribbeans >> AAs >>New York people>Nigerians>> European blacks>>atlanta when it somes to being closer to real African culture

Is that why haitians get so much hate in the western half of this giant ball we live on?

Haitian women even though you were probably congolese in a previous life, I have a special loves for you

Fwiw there are black cubans that still chant in yoruba whIle drumming. Most older afro cubans are like a couple generations removed from africa. Also I've seen videos of the maroon in Jamaica saying words in twi (a language in ghana)


EDIT: I will say the remnants of 'African cuture' retained in the Americas were mostly superficial like music, phenotype ofcourse, and a few word here and there but that's where it ends.

This has to be a troll thread.

Nigerians?
European blacks when they're African immigrants?
Don't they have tribes in Brasil that still speak African languages?

Another dumb thread in TLR...shocking.

One, African culture is not monolithic. Sahelian culture is not the same as the culture to the South of it. Neither is coastal, desert and forest culture.

Different colonies received slaves from different tribes and kingdoms. Haitian, African American and Jamaican slaves were not even close to be of similar tribe make-up.

Most of the shyt yall call "African culture" is present across the developing world and has way more to do with the global south vs the west than any idea of purity.

 

[BocaRear]

nikka said European blacks and Africans aren't close to their African roots

 

[Man]

Never trust the portuguese and spanish, their colonies full of biracials (at the forefront at least)

I was in a surprize to find sisters in colombia

I am Guyanese. All of the Carribean received the same black ancestral base, which is West/Central. Many black Carribean peoples are actually descendants or offshoots of other black Carribean people. For example my family is originally from Grenada. Blacks in Costa Rican are originally from Jamaica. So on and so forth .
