My last name isn't a slave name. I have a white trash austrian ancestor who legit married into blackness....and HE is the grandfather who won't be seen on the mantle.

They'll then accuse you of cultural appropriation like they did their cloths, which they are 100% right for doing. Black people in the western hemisphere aint African.

random but what do you think of this quote

Herc's words:

To be sure, there were all kinds of mobile jocks in New York in the early 70′s. Hands down, no questions. I’ve always asked the Bronx cats that I’ve interviewed this one important question, “Yo, what impact did the Jamaican sound systems have on ya’ll?”

Everybody from Toney Tone to Kool Herc to Bambaataa said: “None, none at all. They weren’t a part of our thing. They did their own thing.”

The one time I interviewed Kool Herc I asked him about the Jamaican sound systems in the Bronx and he acknowledged knowing a few of them, but said that they had no influence or impact whatsoever.

Not really. After slavery, a lot of the black people chose their own last names and interracial relationships aren't new.

I know my last name came from Italy. Its a rare name. Knowing the history of my parents island and seeing that my DNA results came back 99%african, I doubt it was from a slave master because Caucasian people weren't that much present throughout their timeline. I was able to trace it back to the late 1800s, which would be about the time Italians migrated out of Italy and went looking for work. I was thinking about changing it but I left some hope out that he could of been a Moor.

They chose "white" names though. A few had europeanized versions of African names.

That's because Jamaicans are the most known/famous point of reference from the West Indies. The same way all Amerindian looking people who speak Spanish are Mexicans.
