Overall Haiti....Due to the enslaved Africans being worked to death LITERALLY, there were always ships bringing in more Africans. Was THE richest slave colony because of this complete disregard for human life by the French.

Kicked French out, and the Black majority has been blending African ethnic cultures with little outside influence ever since. And fortunately, the gene pool among the majority is mostly African. I take a dna test and any euro blood appears..I'm stabbing somebody.

African culture itself isn't monolithic nor did the slaves sent to each region of the Diaspora even come from the same place.

Basically, you're asking which places in the West are still filled with rural maroon like country folk lol.

Hell even urban areas of Africa are vastly different than the "bush."

No, I'm talking about religion/spirituality, recipes/cuisine, folk dances, customs, dialects/creoles, cultural garb, funerary practices, mourning practices etc. The question is opinional, though there are cultures who obviously retained more than others.​

Court grants Crown more time in ISCF salary lawsuit

We AAs unfortunately weren't able to retain cultural treasures like that. :wow:

Please, teach us the ways!
I accepted the L .....................................and now you're clowning me.....

I respect it. hahahaha

*though in defense of the Africans living in former British colonies, most have only become independent in the last 50 years, so some of the formal british traditions are still in place
