There was also Egyptian artifacts found in the Americas as well, we were here and I always had a theory that this was another base for us. Plus all the pyramids here had to have some form of an African connection
Read "When Rocks Cry Out" by Horace Butler. He breaks down how Mansa Musa the richest man to ever live and the king of Mali was in America 300 years before Columbus. He also writes about how the Olmecs are Africans who decided to stay here instead of going back with Mansa Musa. But he really goes off the deep end with his theory that everything in the Bible did not happen in the middle east and African, but happened here in America...very interesting

Washytaw Nation is the oldest group of indigenous people on Earth. They were settled in what we know as Oklahoma.
Here's an excerpt of the article where it's broken down how the slave trade couldn't have produced that many blacks in America at that time; we were already here:
Compelling evidence
I would like to hear a rebuttal
Also has anyone seen one just one slave ship? Does America have any archeological evidence of these ships preserved somewhere?
"Native Indians" are no different than white people. Many of them owned black slaves as well.
"African Americans" are not Africans.
-You were not born in Africa, nor any relative you can trace.
-Can't even prove your ass came from Africa. That whole narrative you've been told has no proof.
-Even if you could prove it, why would you want to connect to the people who sold you, how do you think they will look at you when you mass exodus to Africa
-West Africans aren't thinking about you, you're Pan African movement is one sided
-You look like a clown claiming you're "African". Africans don't call themselves that truly, they identify with tribe
-You do not have the genetic makeup of these Africans you're trying to clammer onto
-These Africans emulate YOU, why would you then adopt their identity?
-Why do you not connect yourself to the soil you have history in rather than one you have none in?
Since none of you can provide proof you are African. I will provide proof of negros existing in the Americas.
"Ostium Flumines Paraybae [Brazil]"
by John Ogilby, 1671
A picturesque scene of merchants trading goods with native Indians. Ogilby has included two galleons in the distance of this striking view of a fort on the coast of Brazil. This view appeared in John Ogilby’s seminal atlas America: Being the Latest, and Most Accurate Description of the New World, published in London in 1671. Ogilby’s work is an English translation of Arnoldus Montanus’ Die Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld…, published in Amerstdam, although greatly expanded in some instances and with new maps and views. A nice dark impression.
In the late 1630s, Holland attempted to reassert its claim over Brazil by establishing a series of forts along the coastline. One of the best-documented colonies was the expedition led by Prince Maurits of Nassau, who attempted to assemble an intellectual court in the New World. He brought with him a group of highly accomplished artists, mapmakers, and scientists to record the mysteries of Brazil. They included the celebrated painter Frans Post, and the astronomer George Markgraf, who produced the first serious study of the southern sky. Post painted a wealth of images of the Brazilian landscape and the surrounding vegetation and wildlife. His works are some of the earliest European paintings of Brazil and were eagerly reproduced in print by Dutch engravers.

I can keep going and going. Negroid People already existed in the Americas. The point is you guys have no clue what happened yet your lapping this Atlantic Slave shyt up like spit as if you have PROOF. Lets not forget the people who TOLD you that and WHO they where and what they were trying to ACHIEVE.
In 1667, the Virginia General Assembly declared “enslavement of Indians for life to be legal.” This act was repealed, then revived in 1691, but regardless, it was ignored. In 1705 Indian slavery in Virginia became illegal but it was not until 1777 that it was decided by the legislature that no Indian brought into Virginia since the Act of 1705, nor their descendants, could continue to be held as slaves. Slave owners didn't rush right home and free their slaves that they had inherited or purchased. The descendants of the slaves had to find a way to file a lawsuit, and a surprising number did.
South Carolina also declared Indian slavery to be illegal, but North Carolina did not, prompting some planters to move to North Carolina from Virginia.
In 1777 in Virginia when it was determined that it had been illegal to enslave Indians taken up during the Indian Wars, it opened the doors of possibility, at least a crack. Legally, it did not matter how much Indian or African ancestry one had, only whether the person descended from an Indian woman, since the legal status or condition of the child was determined by the “condition of the mother.” This new law encouraged lawsuits from descendants of female Indian slaves, and many sued for their freedom. Many won. The lawsuits often included many depositions that spanned nearly 100 years of history, describing where the slave was captured, how old they were when they were brought to Virginia and the history of their enslavement and subsequent sales. The families had to be reconstructed as well, and depositions were necessary for that too. These suits are gold mines for both genealogists and historians.
Some masters, unwilling to depart with their slaves, moved to other counties or states where lawsuits would have to be refiled. The original Indian captive slaves were dead and it was their grandchildren who most often sued for relief. However, the depositions taken tell us a great deal not just about Indian slavery, but the culture of slavery itself. It details how often slaves were sold, how many living children they had, how often they moved, and how the families were dispersed. We discover that many descendants knew where their family members were, even though they surely didn’t get to see them very often, if at all.
Things were different in Maryland. However, there was apparently some doubt, based on this Anne Arundel County, Maryland record from the Court Proceedings, 11 January 1708/9 – p.552: Capt. William Harbert presents an Indian youth the Son of an Indian Captive Woman taken at the Susquehannock Fort and Desires to have the Courts Opinion whether he be a servant During live as his Mother was or not. It is the opinion of ye Court that he is a slave During life.
These kinds of court decisions set precedents that would require more than another 150 years to overturn. By the time that slavery ended during the Civil War, not only were the Indians originally enslaved long dead, their 7th generation descendants were being born, allowing 25 years per generation. Some of the original Indian captive’s great-great-grandchildren may have been alive, as elderly people, to witness the emancipation of their great-grandchildren – if – they had been one of the lucky people, able to keep track of their family.
"Peru" by John Ogilby, 1671
Striking example of the map of Peru from John Ogilby's Complete History of America. The map extends from Los Pastos in the west to Talvera and Yuntas and Atacama in the east and provides a marvelous, if primitive look at he Cordilleras, towns and rivers along the coastline. Embellished with two large cartouches, sea monster and sailing ships, plus a compass rose. One of the most decorative early maps of Peru, then the richest part of the Spanish Empire in the New World.
"Atlas Novus Sive Tabulae Geographicae Totus Orbis Faciem, Partes, Imperia, Regna Et Provincias Exhibentes, "
by Matthaus Seutter, 1740
"The center of this title shows Europe, Asia, Africa and America in a hemispherical globe surrounded by allegorical personifications depicting natives and typical animals living on the various continents. Europe is at the upper left, Asia is shown at the bottom left, native Africans at the bottom right, and the upper right is a map being held by Native Americans showing the American Hemisphere and California as an island. Above all are putti blowing wind in four directions, Pegasus on a mountain top. Mercurius and Neptune with their symbols, ocean-going vessels and a playful symbolic depiction of the four elements. At the bottom symbols of science and power flanking the title cartouche."
This was a worthwhile thread derail, I apologize to the OP.
Guyane (Guyana) - Bonis Indians
engraving from 1879
Allegory of America by Stichvorlage von Giovanni Volpato (1733-1803)
Its true. BBC did a documentary on it:
"Indians" came AFTER black people were already living in the americas. Cave drawing depict indians killing black people upon their arrival. "Native Indians" are no different than white people. Many of them owned black slaves as well.
Black people have NO allies.
I would love to see the up to date information on this work. Since it was written, I haven't heard alot of work being done in the field to build upon the theory and the crazy thing about it is that white archeologists and scholars, not Van Sertima himself are the people that came up with the theory of Africans being indigenous to the Americas in the first place. And yet Van Sertima is the one who get's all of the criticism.
This cat right here was not only an Archeologist who participated in the digging and excavating of the Olmec heads, but he was also a proponent of the Olmecs having an African Origin, many years before Van Sertima came on scene. I have this book below
