What was an insight that you gained thru exposure to their experience/ worldview that could benefit our experience/ worldview here?
How much damage has been done to the African American community specifically. What I'm trying to say is that these devils in the wilderness of North America did not allow African Americans to keep the African tradition in customs compared to the other African communities in north, central and South America, including the Caribbean. Save for the Geechee people, if you are an American and you end up going to the Pacific Region of Colombia, there might be a very large culture shock. It's imperative that I prefaced all of that so you can understand the mindset of the people here.
With all of that out the way, I realize that once you step foot on Colombia and you don't go to the tourist areas, most people will automatically assume that you are an Afro Colombian including the Afro Colombian population. There is a massive cultural difference between us born in the United States and the African communities in the diaspora especially when it comes to domestic relationships. If I had to guess at least 80% of the people here can easily blend into the black population in the United States and nobody would be the wiser. Same thing if you drop them off back into The Continent. Another thing is that even though we all come from Africa, we came from different parts of Africa therefore there are differences depending on where you go in Colombia.
I did not make the time to go to San Andreas or Palenque but that latter is almost like the lowland Carolinas (Geechee). They speak a Spanish Creole based on Congolese languages. Another interesting fact is that the state where the vice president is from (Cauca), there are Afro people there actually kept the African names. So not every black person in Colombia has a Spanish surname, which I thought was very beautiful. It shows that by keeping their African traditions and customs it bred a lot of resistance and pride in their culture.
