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.

The joys of being OUTSIDE


Good shyt OP, I gotta visit there one day

The 14th will make it 98 days here in Colombia. When I come here, my time on the board obviously drops. Me and @Wiseborn chop it up too. I've been coming to Afro-Colombia since 2017 and NEVER had an issue, even when I felt like tricking. Even when I visited Medellin, I usually just chilled with the black ppl there. Actually, it's safer around them than with the "others". I don't think a lot of negroes here understand how much love you receive when you tell an Afro Colombian that the only reason why you're visiting the country is to be around them. I've been into trenches and the lion's den surrounded by the goons and even they feel me when I tell them that there's black Americans who think about them in their plight. I've been places Where the hittaz had me dead-to-rights but because they feel me, I never had a problem. As a matter of fact, when I was in Choco I met a brother from North Carolin who's basically settled down and keep though a who came here to help speak English and teaching it to elementary students. There's also a brother here from Detroit who settled down in Quibdo.

Rakim:
Here they come, known bloodsuckers of the poor
Rob us for culture and now they want more
Caution they come in many forms of identity
A lot to suspect so detect the enemy
Worst than a mosquito or a vampire
They're not sitting at the movies or a campfire
Huh, yeah, I know you don't believe me, be easy I'm gonna leave it to
Barrington Levy

When I returned from The Continent, I legally changed my name and adopted the names of 3 Afro-Americans. Have you?

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 in Afro Colombian including the Afro Colombian population. There is a massive cultural difference between us born in the United States and really the African community 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.

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 mixed with 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.

The preface was very accurate, there are cultural difference there.

Ofcourse also many similarities, but once you physically remove yourself from your own familiar space and literally travel and submerge yourself in that of another African Diasporia in THEIR lands where the way they talk, eat, make music, dance and dress is the norm.

You’ll be able to better understand where behavior and traditions of ethnic groups that you see back home come from.

What they carried on and you only got to experience within your own context as they were “away from home”

African names are a fascinating cultural retention.
They help trace historical ethnic presence and often cultural dominance during periods within the trans-Atlantic Slavetrade in a region.

Surinam in South America and Jamaica are Caribbean countries that share a cultural retention of African day-names which can be traced back to the Akan ppl from Ghana.

Agallah best song imo. It's a shame some people never heard this. That whole mixtape in the thumbnail is full of gems

 

[KillerPups]

nikkas that think this ain’t a normal sight in the
African Diaspora simply haven’t traveled the Diaspora.

“@DOS & FB@” are scammers banking on ignorant nikkas that are untraveled & uninformed to know this.

Tf does any of this have to do with ados or fba? Worry about your own nation fakkit or stay on topic

They didn't even want us to keep our humanity.

The trip looked dope, I always wanted to make it out to Choco.

It's funny how a small group of the diaspora do/say embarrassing things online. Sounding like they took a page from the white man.

ADOS is a domestic political movement. What the fukk are you talking about?
