Anthony M. Oh shutup. I was waiting to see which idiot would post this comment. Listen, uncle: Y’ALL ARE HAMITES TOO. Not all the slaves were taken from their homes; there were slaves that *remained* in the motherland too. The tribes would fight with one another and then sell their POW (amongst others), to the colonisers who had come under the guise of ‘trade’. Everybody black came from Ham, period. The Semitic people came from Shem, and the Caucasians, from Japheth. I don’t know why some of you people are so desperate to dissociate yourselves from Africa but that’s where you descended from, sorry.

@Bill olu Compton Exactly. Honestly thats one of the reasons why i sometimes always side eye africans who want to be everything else FIRST (british, american, french, german etc..) before AFRICAN. At the end of the day if you know where youre from etc.. why not cherish that? Your grankids and great grandkids wont care if i was born in xyz.. what they would care about is their ANCESTRY so why not give them the benefit of knowing and being proud of it by being vocal about once ethnicity and educated on the culture and people!
