Gullah Geechee sistah DESTROYS Trick Daddy’s “I’m not from Africa” take (while also claiming Gullah Geechee)

[skylove4]

We are cooked as a people when silly shyt like this can spread even a little in our community . The anti-intellectual movement pushed to our people has been a huge success for white supremacist. we have fools literally denying the middle passage. All that suffering our ancestors endured and these fools are disrespecting them

Honestly

He was a G
He came and did tours at the British Museum
And boy did he make those Official Museum Guides look very incompetent

🕊

But yh He dispelled the theory about Africa being named after the Roman General. In fact the General was named after that region after subduing it.

The Breh organized trips to Africa, Europe and Latin America to show people first hand the glory of our ancestors.
H's funny too, love his videos.

I agree with u

Denying the Middle Passage is Crazy

It's called a triangle trade for a reason ️
Same way people were taken from Afrrica
Is the same way people were taken from America also
It doesn't negate the fact that people suffered in those ships no matter the route
To the fact that changed their route to follow the middle passage
To the fact that banks such as Lloyd's TSB were established off the back of the slave trade and insurance was created to compensate traders for the loss of slaves during that journey.

So what does denying the middle passage do other than stop us from holding these institutes accountable for their bullshyt.

Ah, the dilemma of Trick Daddy and genetic lineage and culture.

So is Trick Daddy of West and Central African descent? Obviously. Especially because he's a Gullah-Geechee who tend to have more SSA autosomal genetic ancestry than other Aframs.

Is Trick Daddy culturally similar to West and Central Africans? Or should I ask, are the Gullah-Geechee people culturally similar to West and Central Africans? ... That isn't so simple. First, let's get the obvious out of the way, Africa is a continent (the second largest continent) with over 2000 languages, ethnic groups, cultures and diverse biomes and blah blah blah (Thus Pan-Africanism, 'we all the same', we all black', 'we all one people' thus we must 'unite' is an unworkable fantasy. A pipedream). You get the point. So that answers the question, right? Not exactly.
It's undeniable that the Gullah-Geechee have retained a lot of customs and vocabulary from their West African (mainly Guinean, Sierra Leonean and Liberian ethnic groups) and Central African (mainly Western Congo and Northwestern Angolan ethnic groups) ancestry. Their relative isolation from white people and slavemasters meant that they mostly kept the customs and vocabulary from the cultures that they descended from. So that settles it? Well, no.
There's more to a culture than customs and language (That's not to say that they aren't fundamental to a culture). Geography (physical, climate, weather, biomes, etc), history (the contemporary circumstances, political geography of the time, customs of the time, major events etc). food & drink, belief systems and TAST (Tools, Arts, Sciences and Techniques) play a major part in forming a culture and an ethnic group. And it's with these factors that the differences show themselves within the Gullah-Geechee (and other NWB ethnic groups).
The Gullah-Geechee have a mish-mash of West and Central African customs, vocabulary and food and drink items. That's because their West and Central African ancestors (as well as other NWB ethnic groups) had no choice but to group together and mix. The Bakongo, Mbundu, Vai, Kpelle, Tenme, etc were forced to become one, work together, eat together, etc because? Yeah, you guessed it, slavery. The same goes for their dialect. Plus the surrounding geography forced them to adapt their customs, their arts, their tools, etc into something that fit them. In other words, their ethnogenesis is within America, more specifically the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida within the coastal plain and the Sea Islands because of one major event. the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

So is Trick Daddy culturally similar to West and Central Africans? Or should I ask, are the Gullah-Geechee people culturally similar to West and Central Africans? Not really. Culture is an ever-evolving concept that is influenced by a number of factors. And that's a good thing. For it shows the adaptability and the resilience of human beings.

Riddle me this, are Swedish Americans culturally the same as the Swedish from Sweden?

These cacs are laughing at us. They never pass up a chance to scream about the Irish being indentured servants which isn’t even close to being as bad as chattel slavery .

This is a quote to start u off

TEACHING MOMENT: Africa is not named after a Roman general! You have heard me say this before? If so, it is because I have pledged to repeat it again and again with the hope that it will someday sink in.

Africa is not named after Roman general Scipio Africanus. Nor is it named after Leo Africanus--a man who comes much later. These are myths. I repeat, these are myths!

Scipio Africanus is the Roman general who engineered the defeat of the African nation called Carthage--centered in what is now Tunisia. Carthage was a colony from Phoenicia. It was established in 814 BCE. The Nile Valley was still thriving at this time and the civilization called Nok--based in what is now Nigeria--was rising up. The Phoenicians themselves had an African mixture and with the passage of time Carthage itself became increasingly African. Carthage means "the new town" and the most famous Carthaginian was General Hannibal Barca. The Romans called this entire area Africa. And so with the defeat of the Carthaginians Scipio is given the name "conqueror of Africa." So Scipio Africanus does not give his name to Africa. He gets his name from Africa! Get it? Make sense to you?

Now the man named Leo Africanus was himself an African. Indeed, his name means Leo the African!! He got his name from Africa. He did not give his name to Africa.

Now before you tie yourself up in knots and begin to ask "Runoko Rashidi what was the original name for the continent of Africa" please ask yourself, "What makes you think that ancient people thought of themselves as living on continents?"

The notion of continents is a European notion and it is a relatively recent one at that. The word Ethiopian is Greek. It means land of the burnt faced people. And Alkebulan does not even appear to be an African word.

So why not start looking at things from an African perspective. Why not use our own frame of reference?

We need to spend more time educating each other. I try and do it each day.

Everything else you said was correct to my understanding
Women transported rice and other seeds and grains (ackee seeds) embedded in their hair and used these crops to maintain their diets in the colonies.

I heard it was called Ham, akebullan, Ethiopia

Never understood being proudly ignorant of your heritage. I don't see Italians saying fukk italy, never been there, all i know is NYC.
Rappers talking about they never been to Africa, but will happily tour in Dubai, France, England and all the popular non black tourist spots.

You cant save everybody, and mustnt be offended by the baffling personal choices they make..if an adult chooses to be ignorant in these times, they should be left alone to wallow in their mental problems alone of with like minded koons.

The koons will all get left behind and perish, that is what they have chosen.

If you aren't ADOS you really shouldn't be commenting on this topic and look borderline oppish in doing so.


If you are ADOS and cool with outsiders commenting and making jokes on this topic, you're a weirdo.

Yeah I find it weird how they want to tell us who we are. We are obviously African descendant but we are not ethnically African.

I am ados and i feel like yall are the ones acting like opps. You choosing your country over your race. Problem is 75% of this country will side with their race over black americans. I'm black first, an american second. Citizenship can change, empires can fall but i will always be black.

No different than the blavity black feminists who think siding with white women on some gender unity bs over their blackness was a good idea. Only for white women to stab them in the back again and again. when they eventually look out for their white men first.
blood thicker than borders. complaining about the name african being forced on us, when actually the name american was.
