Admittedly, this describes me. I know my ancestors are predominantly Nigerian, Ghanaian and Congolese but home to me is Antigua and the nine other islands in which my family is rooted. Tbh I just started looking into my African roots a few years ago. Very few people in my family have any interest in anything beyond the Caribbean/North America.

And that is common and normal behavior, Most people are going to relate to the culture them & their families were raised around. So while we all may have originated in Africa we are talking 1000's of years & countless splits & migrations. I just don't see how much relatability & sense of "home" can be found there over night.
just by looking at your avy, I know you wont mean much to this topic. The Transatlantic slave trade ended around 300-400 years ago. How is that thousands?
If you believe that nobody from Africa migrated around the world prior to the transatlantic slave trade then hey.
also my Avi is of politicians clearly pandering to black people, if that disqualifies me from talking about black history
we all know that Africans were migrating long before the slave trade, but you made it seem as if we have been split from Africa for thousands of years. Your previous comments on here didnt seem genuine to the conversation and more on the trolly side thats all.
Well those who have relatives who migrated & settled in different lands would have been split from African culture for an extremely long time, which again explains why people are so hesitant to call Africa home.
I'm not trolling at all, If tomorrow every black person woke up & vehemently agreed that they stem from Africa, Okay what's next?
that doesn't stop the ignorance between cultures, it doesn't stop the effects of slavery, it doesn't solve the divide between different black cultures etc etc. Someone saying their home is Jamaica or Haiti, or America etc etc doesn't disqualify them from establishing some kind of partnership & diplomacy with Africa, I just don't think trying to force everyone to accept Africa as their home & culture is a tangible thing.
Thats my hometown. My grandmother used to teach at that school. The wild thing(not really) is that its a predominately black school. Thats Pensacola for you. Idk you asking who vote republican. Im starting to think think quite understand you’re forgetting what “minority” means.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/f...newsntp&cvid=c55d504ed7374433b280c9aafda009ce
They are removing photos of MLK and Obama from schools because its not appropriate for children.

I get that part, but what makes you think anyone IN THIS THREAD voted Republican? Is that’s not what, “Which of yall voted Republicans again?”, infers?Which of the 2 parties is all up in arms about black history and anything resembling the truth being taught in schools?
Which of the 2 parties is the one who introduced legislature to ban words like "Civil rights" and "slavery" in schools?
Dont play stupid bro
This is a nice opener for a discussion on authenticity and class in Africa.
I'm familiar with that type of comment, and they almost never come from a good place.
I should say that I didn't watch the video when I commented, and the exchange seemed a lot more lighthearted than the transcript made it appear.what/which comment do you mean?
