Refuting the myth that Black American music/culture is "Europeanized".

[Bawon Samedi]

Since this thread is back to being discussed, I thought I post something rather than music that proves AA's really do have a diverse culture.

List Of Surviving Creole Languages Spoken By African-americans Today

Louisiana creole = French + Native American + African(Bambara, Wolof, Fon)
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=lou

Gullah/Geechee = English + African(Mandinka, Wolof, Bambara, Fula, Mende, Vai, Akan, Ewe, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Kongo, Umbundu, Kimbundu)
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=gul

Afro-Seminole = Similar to Gullah, but less English, and no Mende influence.

And one of the many now extinct unique AA languages.

Kails/Ms Dark Skin? I was cool with her.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

She was one of the worst offenders of disrespecting AA culture

I don't think she disrespected AA's or meant to. I mean she was part AA and she too like other Afro-Diasporans went up against those Africans who would sometimes say something slick about Aframs or Afro-Diasporans in general, especially that character named PAGAN. But the problem with Kails is that she would sometimes overrated the Caribbean influence on AA's, other than that she was cool.

[KOohbt]

Their is no popular american music genre we didn't create. And we have the most influential music is the world.

What was her stance on AA music?

She tried to act like aa music was some joint venture between American blacks and caribbeans. Theres a good Cuban influence on black music but that's where it ends
