You know your shyt breh
Powhatan was the father of Pocahontas and was also called “black” by colonialists so even her image was possibly whitewashed. But what you describe was the real slave trade in my opinion. Indigenous people taken from the Americas and taken elsewhere. And the “Africans” that were brought here were probably from here like you said. Which is why in Nigeria for example, every time the igbos try to unify, they have outsiders from the British to the tribes around them band up together and try to put a halt to it.
Yup,none of us have it all figured out though,I just hope black people worldwide continue to grow more skeptical of the history as it has been taught,and skeptical of the oversimplified breakdown of melinated people. Europeans have egos and are ruled by politics and white supremacy,this hinders them from getting to the truth,or revealing new truths on a grand scale even when they know it. Which is why black people internationally need to be discussing things like this among each other. I don't see how you don't question of the out of africa theory,or that we all came over on slave ships,or the bering strait theory. And not be bound to any scenario since history and numbers have been falsified. But certain things just make more sense to me based on what we know.
the slaves who came back as "african" or were originally from africa,were all instrumental in things like the Hatian revolution,civil war and where we are today. Im certain the knowledge they had and the fact they were free before,some probably already knowing the language(despite all slaves supposedly having to learn how to read from stealing books from massa ,or being trained by a good massa
) all helped in inspiring and leading these revolutions. As well as just the bolstered numbers,when they bought slaves in from Africa. There is a bigger lesson and message here,but it definitely is not anti african when you break it down,the message is how powerful black people who are from everywhere can be when we work together
