The Majority Of African Americans Are Descended From - Igbo/Yoruba Tribes

[keepemup]

I don't even see the Yoruba brehs in many of the threads on black issues. For some reason the Igbos identify strongly with their AA brethren and stay up in the thread putting curses on the so-called white man. Akata is a Yoruba word though

Why you tryin' to cause strife bro? Tryin' to get people vexed.

you definitely mean yorubas breh

Marvel and Femi, let's not start this.

You are kidding but you don't think Igbo's and Yoruba's should mix? Is that what you meant?

I've messed with both and let me tell you I have not had a good experience. They've all been less than good.

The Yoruba info is not true. The Yorubas were major slave traders through their Oyo Empire. The Oyo Empire is one of the more well documented empires in the slave trade in part because their leaders were known to take trips to Europe during the slave trade. Contrary to what you have been taught that tribes trading their own people....false. Certain groups were set up to trading other groups, they were not trading their own people for 300 years. It was not some free for all, every man for himself. That is why when you look at old documents on the slave trade it always said that Africans sold Negroes. The Europeans knew that those were two different groups. Selling your own people by the tens of millions would be the definition of hustling backwards. There is actually a document with names and the tribes of slaves from various slave ships on another thread. I went though pages and it up to a 1000+ names before I stopped and did not find one documented Yoruba.

Well almost 500 years later the jokes on them, huh?

We've been in the US for far too long to worry about it. Our heritage is American.

really? that's weird.

among the second generation nigerians, tribe mixing means nothing, it's usually the parents that kinda look at you sideways.

I thought you were saying that the groups should not mix. I know people who catch a little bit of flack from their parents however it is till up to them as the pressure seems really mild... or maybe I just haven't been witness to the tongue lashings.

Igbo/South East Nigerian is a big part of Afram ancestry but it doesn't make up the majority.

Surprised to see Liberia had such a low number of Slaves

Liberia was created out of thin air by America to return to already shipped slaves back to Africa.

Of course, majority of the countries political borders were created with no consideration of the tribal kingdoms that existed.
