"dismiss" there's that word and why even telling you something is pointless, no matter what I say you'll dismiss it. That's the perfect word to describe it. No matter what evidence or otherwise it will be dismissed fact or not because of your own personal feelings, you dismissed that letter even though it's solid proof of what I'm saying. You legit just told me a guy describing people with broad noses, big lips and dark skin isn't believable not because it doesn't make sense but because it goes against what you think something is or should be. Just like how the other guy just dismissed it as outdated
I already know how to convince oyu guys though, get a cac on CNN to say it

i dont think you're understanding me at all, visual representations that came from. people back then are rediculous. herodotus once claimed that east africans are indians (from india) based on how they look "similar", thats why WE not I dismiss those claims. its because they hold no value because a phenotype doesnt designate a race.if you hear a white person claiming ancient egyptians as nordic what do you do? you dismiss that crap and call it a day because theyve been comfirmed to have no white people from the indegenous egyptians. no one can convince us anything unless its a credible source. cnn,fox,etc. are not credible sources either nor is all white people, you have to stop assuming we go by shyte peoples word when we actually have studies from various of black scholors like keita."dismiss" there's that word and why even telling you something is pointless, no matter what I say you'll dismiss it.

No problem homie. Check this out:
If you are looking to start in Africa, the BEST work you could ever start with for a real general and basic, but in depth understanding is the "African American Odyssey," by Darline Clark Hine (get the 5th edition, its the latest).
The best book on Africa and the real interactions with whites for the slave trade is Michael Gomez's "Exchanging Our Country Marks: The transformation of African identities in the colonial and the Antebellum South." U WILL LOVE THIS BOOK.
Also, Manning Marable has the best black history book on the second half of American history...its called "Race, Reform, and Rebellion: The Second Reconstruction and Beyond America, 1945-2006 U WILL LOVE THIS BOOK TOO..VERY EASY TO READ AND NOT MUCH TECHNICAL JARGON
Anything by CLR james, especially the "Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution"...its a classic
And of course, the king of all black history books, the greatest of the great: W.E.B. Du Bois's Black Reconstruction in America. That's a bit tougher to read though but it is the richest
U got any questions about these or would you like recommendations on a specific time period or place? I got them all, brother and hope I can help.

Thanks for the information. Do you recommend any book about african history in Latin America?
yes sir. CLR James' Black Jacobins is the best book on Africans in the Caribbean/Latin America ever. Also, Deborah A. Thomas's Modern Blackness: Nationalism, Globalization, and the Politics of Culture in Jamaica is another amazing read...very accessible.
Also, for Cuba, Alejandro de la Fuente's "A nation For All: Race, Inequality, and Politics in Twentieth Century Cuba" was one of my favorites that I used for my Comprehensive Exams for my masters...very powerful book and talks about all of latin Amerca and race.
Finally, this is one I'm throwing in because its so damn good: Piero Gleijeses' "Conflicting Missions: Havana, Washington, and Africa, 1959-1976" BEST BOOK OF THE 3; here's the link:
I have all of these books and they are excellent and most are very easy to read, brother...if you got any more questions, please hit me up!

@LarryLobster This book is mandatory reading for anyone trying to learn more about our history. J. A. Rogers was one of the first black historians to really research and write on African history. I believe it was Garvey who said because of the works of Rogers, black finally started to learn to love themselves.
A documentary that will teach you a lot is A Great and Mighty Walk by John Henricke Clark
There's also the BBC series called lost kingdoms of Africa. My favorite were on Mali, Nubia, and Ethiopia.
After you learn about our history, read this book. Most important book a black man can read. My girl just recently started reading it.

I made a thread on African history. You can start by looking up Wikipedia articles or documentaries in YouTube about those guys.
Here's the thread. I actually need to update it with a post about Ida B. Wells, my favorite black woman in history.

I appreciate it my man, ill look for these books. But i don't know if you get what i was saying in op, i'm not an expert or similar about african history but some people here knows absolutely nothing and i can't just tell them to read a book, especially if they don't know the language. My plan is to share these whole information, starting a website maybe. Therefore i'll have to translate it to portuguese, so i'm looking for small texts i can start with.
Yea I feel you...I have some articles I can send you via pm which are about 20 pages each...will that help?
