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

[How Sway?]

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.

A lot of people think of African culture as simply drumming and chanting, dancing and voodoo.

You have nomadic people, farmers, fishers all living side by side. Tribes who only eat seafood, or dairy or more balanced diets. Tribes that use string instruments, tribes that use the drum, tribes that rely on narration. Religions and belief systems run the gamut from Islam to animism. So so many phenotypes. Different family and social structures. How do you even compare Diasporan Blacks from country to country when they came from different tribes? Its so dumb.

There are indeed similarities between most black African cultures. The Sahel is more exception than rule because of its proximity to North Africa. Carribean and dispora are also largely not descended from Sahel or South Africans.

nikka called New York People and Atlanta a diaspora.

A large portion of the slaves brought to the USA were from the Sahel.

And no, a Fulani from Senegal, a Yoruba from Benin, and a Bakongo from Angola are all very different people and come from vastly different cultures.

OP is talking about the retaining of our roots from our ancestors, regardless of what ethnicity or kingdom. He said some other silly shyt, but you missed the point.


"coastal, desert, forest"

The fukk kinda babble you making up breh? The fukk is "forest culture"? The elementals of african culture? Is there a undersea culture too?


Couldn't help yourself running in a thread that mentions the caribbean.

Because certain tribes had strongholds of culture so deep it passed downed to certain ancestors of ours. Like the links between Cubans and Yoruba. Traditions, customs, language, religions, that can actually be traced back to a group back in west Africa, still alive in the present day diaspora. Not a vague monolith.

Instead of elaborating your argument you resort to accepting an L, by name-calling like you're still in high school.
