Black family in Georgia passed down a song through the centuries after slavery. Researchers linked song to Mende tribe in West Africa.

This is the reason why I can’t fukk with clowns who try to say “we’re not African, we’re indigenous to this land.”

You’re disrespecting your ancestors who suffered through shyt like this so that your ungrateful ass can be here today.

You don’t wanna identify with Africa? Cool. But don’t disown your ancestors.
Shut up goofy

I been trying to tell these nikkas that we came from all over the world. Many were pushed into Africa after the dark ages. Some were already here in America too. The pope signed a papal Bull to call “open season in nikkas” then were rounded up and hence the diaspora

Quick question, is music part of a culture or is it genetic?
Both. Music is culture passed down by a people who usually are of a specific genetic pool. Unless, when it's a stolen legacy as we see with many Black American genres. However, even then we can trace the origins of that culture through imprints in the culture.

I don’t doubt there were natives who resembled the aboriginals in Australia, the Philippines, etc.

But let’s be real, most of them resembled Mexicans.

CACs treat the actual natives like shyt, how would us being able to claim that we are native to this land change anything? :mjlol:


Im not confident enough to say most of them looked like Mexicans. Its possible,but its a strong assumption. When the Spaniards came,they sent alot of natives back to spain as slaves. Then alot of those natives were traded as part of the slave trade. Do we honestly think the "black" natives wouldve been set apart from the African slaves? No,they wouldve just been apart of one homogenous commodity.



And the natives got land,but they probably just dont care about land like we wouldnt. I doubt living indegileniously as that easy these days. Plus the lure of Babylon would make it hard anyway,especially for the youth. Point is they got some land.

To my knowledge, most (if not all) of the natives they sent back died of disease.

Hence the reason why they started importing Africans.

I’ve never heard anything about them going through the hassle of taking them to Spain, then putting them on a boat again to bring them back to where they originally brought them from.

Logistically that doesn’t make much sense.

And your second paragraph more or less proves my point. Let’s say we are indigenous to this land and we are able to prove it.

It changes absolutely nothing.

I remember when people used to clown Dominicans for claiming to be Taino.

Now we got black Americans doing the same shyt. :dead:

The idea of just living off nature,building dirt mounds isnt as alluring as being "kings and queens" and building pyramids. Or being the moors who taught the European mathmatics. We only want to be the groups of black people that the European would see as civilized and respectable:respect:



Then they always hit me with "It might have been a few black natives over here". Really?Just a couple of em:comeon:? When have we ever seen that setup among tribes who have diverse phenotypes?

Sources for this! Peer reviewed sources…

“All Native American mtDNA can be traced back to five Haplogroups called A, B, C, D, and X. More specifically, Native American mtDNA belongs to sub-haplogroups that are unique to the Americas and not found in Asia or Europe: A2, B2, C1, D1, and X2a (with minor groups C4c, D2, D3, and D4h3)”

Do you understand what this means?

Migration within a larger time framework took place ca. 15,000–18,000 BP, when the first Asian populations crossed the Bering Strait, ultimately founding the modern Amerindian population. Despite having as much as 18,000 years of selection in environments as diverse as those found in the Old World, body mass and proportion clines in the Americas are less steep than those in the Old World (Newman, 1953; Roberts, 1978). In fact, as Hulse (1960) pointed out, Amerindians, even in the tropics, tend to possess some ‘‘arctic’’ adaptations. Thus he concluded that it must take more than 15,000 years for modern humans to fully adapt to a new environment (see also Trinkaus, 1992). This suggests that body proportions tend not to be very plastic under natural conditions, and that selective rates on body shape are such that evolution in these features is long-term."


"In fact, in terms of body shape, the European and the Inuit samples tend to be cold-adapted and tend to be separated in multivariate space from the more tropically adapted Africans, especially those groups from south of the Sahara."

Today we are going to destroy all this pseudo armchair babble.

Yes, I’m not talking about black people with actual Native American roots.

I just mean the ones outright erasing their African roots and claiming they have no origin in Africa.
We aren't African. We can throw darts at West and Central African countries all day but it doesn't make us African. What is African? We aren't immigrants but we never forget where we our people were stolen and sold from. I wish yall would understand how deep, crazy and nasty our history is instead of the surface level shyt. We have a complicated history. If you don't know or understand that stfu

We were already here before people crossed over from the beiring strait. The European just has had the idea we had no other way over here. Its possible we arrived from the Pacific Islands by boat or land bridge:respect:

I’ve already acknowledge that we are far removed from Africa.

Culturally and even ethnically, we are our own people and our own lineage.

I’m not talking about black people who identify as ADOS/FBA/Black American, etc.

I’m talking about idiots who claim that we are actually indigenous and claim that the transatlantic slave trade is a myth or exaggerated.

Our black ancestry comes from Africa. Some of us have native and even European DNA, but if you are black in America your black ancestry came from Africa.

Y’all are too old to be believing in fairy tales and you’re actually making a joke out of the reparations movement when you start claiming the transatlantic slave trade didn’t happen.

Stop with the yall. People are saying they aren't black because they believe it means Black American. People are saying we aren't African because we aren't African. What's the difference? Maybe it's semantics but I think people know and understand. Folks just choose to be willfully ignorant
