I literally heard Lord Jamar on this live with Rosenberg say that Black folks were tricked into believing they were from somewhere else
Really. So Black folks from the Americas are that dumb. That a couple hundreds White men 400 years ago just came from Europe and told 100s off Millions off Black folks who were "already here" from Canada to Argentina.
"Hey, you guys aren't really from here, you are from this place call Africa. Forget everything you know about your land, and think Africa"
And like that Black folks magically forgot all about being indigenous. WTF
What do you mean "if"? So you are disputing the idea of "black" natives? And diverse phenotypes among the same tribe? Well if you believe darkskin black people could only be from Africa. Then I see why you think you are correct,sadly you are not alone.
if for hundreds of years, you’re not allowed to read or write and you know nothing of your history or ancestry besides what’s going on the plantation it’s definitely possible.
I fully believe black people were already in America but believing that and disregarding the slave trade don’t have to be one in the same
Two things can be true
Lol the ones meant to come to Africa and prosper will do it.I have to revisit this again, because I'm really starting to think, that this movement gaining so much traction now is not a coincidence.
What's really happening right now. The world is learning and getting to know Africa more then ever before. We're seeing what the continent really has to offer, especially in opportunities for the Diaspora, and people with ideas. And as so many Black Folks around the diaspora are getting to know about the place and discovered its wonders. Here Comes the Indigenous crew, and they're gaining more traction, whilst Africa is slowly getting build up and lowkey gentrification is going on. With everyone else getting in mix.
These folks are straight agents talking that bs
Always wondered about these Olmec heads. Impossible to date really but they say 900BC. Makes you think what the difference is between history and HIStory, feel me?
and somehow in all the America's not one lick of credible evidence was found supporting this?if for hundreds of years, you’re not allowed to read or write and you know nothing of your history or ancestry besides what’s going on the plantation it’s definitely possible.

I see what you trying to say but it ain't that deep. These old heads just found other old heads and new fools who they can use to spread these dumb ass ideas.I have to revisit this again, because I'm really starting to think, that this movement gaining so much traction now is not a coincidence.

Black-skinned people across the world come from equatorial regions and other places with very high sun exposure. They're pretty much all either from Africa, or from the Australasian genetic group that migrated out of Africa and populated South India, Indonesia, Australia, and the associated islands nearby. The reasons for this are obvious - if your skin is too dark and you live in a place that gets limited sunlight, your Vitamin D production and immune system strength is seriously reduced. So every people group that migrated to northern regions gradually lost most of their dark-skinned genes over time due to survival rates.
The Americas were populated by people from the Siberian region who crossed over during the Ice Age. They're most closely related to the North Asian ethnic group, which was quite light-skinned due to the climate they'd lived in for tens of thousands of years. That caused them to lose most of the genes that coded for significant amounts of melanin. Since the Americas were populated so recently (around 20,000 years ago), Natives across both continents are fairly closely related to each other. They simply haven't had time to diverge genetically the way people diverged on other continents.
Native Americans aren't as light-skinned as most white people, and they can tan of course which means the ones who stayed outside 24/7 were somewhat darker. Over time the ones who moved into the most sunny regions would likely naturally select for darker skin as well. But the problem is that most of the genes available for that stuff disappeared from the population tens of thousands of years earlier. Unless there are mutations, they can't just magically reappear, and 20,000 years isn't much time for significant mutations like that to spring up. Which is why even Native Americans in the Amazon aren't all that dark.
Here are the Yakut people of Siberia. These are who Native Americans are most closely related to genetically:
This is a Surui woman from the Brazilian Amazon. This is one of many Native American groups who show 100% Native ancestry:
And, FWIW, here's an Olmec statue which isn't necessarily supposed to be a perfect representation of a person, and is supposedly so different from Natives that it "has" to be something else:
Breh, the vast majority of human societies couldn't read or write and yet they had no problem passing down their history. Native Americans couldn't read or write, but they still passed down their tribe and religion and history and traditions, they still know where they came from. You can erase a people's history if you systematically remove every single child from their parents and then killed off all the parents, but in order to erase Native Black American history that way you'd have to systematically pull that off for every single group of Native Black Americans....how the hell would that work when different regions of the New World were controlled by completely different people without any sort of centralized command structure or authority?
