The problem I have with the argument is when they try to disconnect us from Africa. Like [USER=992]Roparker71[/USER] posted...there are books that document that Africans came here before Europeans and traded with the natives. The Washitaw Nation in Southeastern US says they trace back to Africans that came here from West Africa. The whole "we have no connection to Africa" at all argument is far fetched to me. Most people that push the narrative either have to twist a word in a document or resort to anecdotal evidence "My mama was Cherokee".Many of us can put a Senator Style outfit like the Nigerian brother in this picture and you wouldn't be able to tell us apart until we spoke or you you seen the Black American strut. It may hurt some people's feelings but WE LOOK JUST LIKE WEST AFRICANS. Our muscular build, our hair, our rhythm, our drum culture...I get the need to check tethers but when I look in the mirror I don't see a Native of the USA or an American...I see an African man. Culturally I'm Black American but my genetics look JUST LIKE some people I've seen from Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal. [ATTACH]6134[/ATTACH]Homie look like Bobby Brown but we aren't African. Nah...we got here on ships...some we commissioned and sailed ourselves and in others by force.
