thanks for the feedback!

It's amazing how a palaver it can be, right?

Such a pleasure Riaan! You're the go-to Kartra man, for sure

Yes! I had this realization myself. It’s just a dreadful thought and made me sick to my stomach to know it’s an every day reality for a lot of people.

Yes, they are different. In psychology the unconscious is a term used to refer to that which drives your behavior but you are not aware of - deeply held beliefs, feelings etc. Subconscious is something you can become aware of - for example if you know how to drive, you can drive all the way to the shop without paying any conscious attention to your actions of driving. You are subconsciously driving. But, if I ask you to pay attention to your driving, you can.

@@TamrynSherriffs Thank you very much for your answer! Your driving example reminds me to something that musicians tend to call "hand-memory" or maybe 'fingers-memory" (lack of a better word, I'm also not sure in English language). I don't think there is such a thing as hand-memory (memory of the hands or any kind of muscle, etc.), but now I understand that what we musicians tend to call "hand-memory" is a subconscious way of playing of a part of a song that we practiced it / played it so many times that it became automatic ( = subconscious (?) ), so we don't even need to focus on the different finger movements one-by-one (when playing for ex. guitar or piano, etc.), but we just think of the specific (pre-practiced) melody as 1 single thing to "do" (to play), and as I experience it we just trigger these automated (practiced) parts of the song consciously, but the automated parts (different melodies and chords of the song) stay subconscious. Is that correct? (Sorry for the lot of text, I'm not native English speaker)

@@amusicians2cents that sounds exactly right!

Thats true! And, it's on purpose, it's our natural associations <3

You take forever to get at A point, never mind THE point. And it's true that whites did not know about black hair, but the story about the school is BS.

Hello darling. Thank you for taking the time to comment. What you just watched is a ramble. Innate to ramblings is to...ramble ;) I'm not obliged to get to a point in my ramble ... and neither are you obliged to watch it ;)

Yes they are Africans(Euro African) just like how black people in America are Americans(African American). At least they allow us black folks to be considered Americans in the West, and we should extend them the same courtesy. Technically, everyone is African because Life stemmed from Africa.

This article sums it up perfectly for me: www.afropolitan.co.za/articles/what-does-it-mean-to-be-african-1610.html

Here is another sentiment that resonates: womennewsnetwork.net/2013/05/24/what-does-it-mean-to-be-african/

So are you saying blacks in America who have never set foot in Africa aren't Americans? See what I mean? Where you were born and where you grew up is where you are from, culturally. White South Africans have a distinct culture, and even in the way they speak English, they don't sound like their white counterparts in the West. Their distinct uniqueness is what makes them South Africans, culturally speaking. African Americans also have a distinct culture that you won't find in Africa either, and that's why Blacks in America specifically are Americans. Citizenship wise, they are Africans. Technically everyone's physical features can be labeled as being from somewhere specific on earth, but even with physicality most people in the populous world are mixed so therein lies the problem with trying to pin people down to a specific geographical location. Spiritually speaking, our human spirits come from the almighty creator God, and so in him we are unified or rather we should be unified. Due to the love of God is why we need to learn how to love each other, and at the end of the day we're all just humans.

but they're african because they was taken away from africa but, at the same time black people been on the native indian first before columbus even came there so whats your point, white people are not from africa awhile black can claim native indian land and africa even australia, before you speak to me learn your know your history
