I'd disagree.
And I think it's the shame that some of us carry for having been enslaved that drives us to illogical conclusions like this. I am not ashamed of it, rather puzzled and amazed that so many or ANY of us were able to endure and survive such trauma.
I've read some of the same books that you are alluding to, obviously sea faring Africans arrived on multiple continents centuries or millenniums before "europe" existed, but you are reaching.
There are too many distinct cultural markers between Western Hemisphere Blacks and specific West African ethnic groups for anybody to say that the majority of us are NOT the children of the enslaved people.
Again, I'm not inside your head, but from where I sit only shame would make a person see it other than how it obviously is.
The sea faring Africans are only one wave of the many different waves of black people that came to the Americas. The first wave was the same black people that colonized the Pacific Islands. You had black people who came out of Africa 65,000 years ago that went into Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. These same black people also went into the Americas. Their descended created the great civilizations of the Americas like the Olmecs (who were clearly black people).
Then you had black people from Ancient Egypt and Phoenicia that sailed to the Americas 3,000 years ago. These black Africans started to trade with the black native Americans and there was also some cultural cross-over. This is why we see Egyptian style pyramids in the Americas.
And then finally you had West African explorers and sailors who made it to the Americas about 1,000 years and they that started trading with the native black Americans. Some of these West Africans started to settle among the native black Americans. Your mistake is you try to limit the black presence to just these guys. They are only one part of the puzzle.
So you see we had 3 waves of black people that made it to the Americas. (1) the Ancient black population that populated Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands from Africa 65,000 years ago; (2) black sailors and explorers from Ancient Egypt and Phoenicia; and (3) black sailors and explorers from West Africa.
The reason crakkkas created the mythology that we came from slaves is because they don't want to admit that we were the ones that colonized the entire planet and ran it for most of human history. To make us easier to control, they had to brainwash us into thinking all we were was slaves. Cause its easier to control someone who is mentally enslaved than one who is free. If we knew our true history, do you think we would have allowed slavery and Jim Crow to persist for as long as it persisted? Cacs had to brainwash us of our true history to make us easier to control.
