I FULLY agree with Michael Jai White. I'm Haitian🇭🇹 and I can say my lineage doesn't begin in Haiti (1804). It goes back to West Africa. Many of my Haitian ancestors came from the Kingdom Of Dahomey (Benin). I'm proud of my African roots.

MJW dropping nothing but jewels here. Nas has been schooling folks on this issue for a while; the Black American Journey doesn't begin with slavery. Brilliantly put MJW. I think what a lot of people don't realise is that most African Americans were brought from West Africa, mainly current day Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Congo,Ivory Coast and Senegal . And those countries is where you'll discover the similarity in culture. Africans are not a monolith. There are huge differences with the people from East Africa, South Africa and definitely North Africa compared to West Africa. That explains MJW's different experiences in those different locations.

[@12degreesnowman11]

@@KINGJAMES-ke9pe well i overheard an American guy talking to his kid in Ghana. I didn’t realize that they were American until they spoke. I was wondering how many people have I been around in Ghana that I didn’t realize were from USA. You can easily see in West Africa how Black Americans come from these people. The flight I took from Atlanta to Accra Ghana was like I never left Atlanta… except the cultural differences

Basically he realised what most people forget, that black Americans are primarily descendants of WEST AFRICANS, not all of Africa.

[@CaciousLukama]

Primarily West Africans, Secondarily Central Africans(Samuel l Jackson, Chris Tucker etc). And Finally in minority is East Africa (Swahili coast, Tanzania-kenya, and also some small Malagasy DNA)

[@hoverboy]

Shows how violent a society West Africa was, kidnapping and selling other Africans. In East Africa, the Swahili Arab slave trade was constantly thwarted by Maasai warriors who attacked slave caravans. That is why it barely affected the inland, such that the first white man to see Mt Kenya happened as late as the 1880s. We fought tribal warfares too but at least knew not to sell people off to foreigners.

[@CaciousLukama]

@@hoverboy Not true at all, West Africa's proximity to the Americas meant less travel for the European ships. And slavery in this region is quite complex than Africans kidnapping other Africans. The Europeans often interfered with local politics in regime change and support with weapons, similar to how Patrice Lumumba, Dr Congo's first prime minister got deposed off. While in need to establish good relationships with the Europeans, Patrice didn't want to feel like a puppet regime for western imperialism, So they devised a new strategy to influence his most trusted friend mobutu seseko. For Mobutu, it's the drive to be in power and being militarilly supported by US and its allies so that can maintain a clean image that they had nothing to do with it but the corrupt savagers killed themselves and allowed resources to be looted. Remember, America killed it's own president in an attempt to abolish slavery. Most people also forget that the American civil war was basically about slavery. Swahili slave trade was also cruel in all aspects, this single region alone transported more slaves than other ports in Africa for the Mediterranean market. I mean, what do you get when you have an Islamic ruler who saw himself as a pure Arab and descended of Allah himself. Tip tip was a very notorious slave trader in central Africa and obliterated anything in his path, not even a massai would even stand a chance as they would fall victim themselves. On limitations, the Swahili couldn't manage to take slaves in Savannah region(great Zimbabwe, monomutapa,ingombe illede etc) because people in this regions were quite militaristic in naturethan just simple farmers. The culture of savannah was similar to shaka Zulu culture, I mean they still speak the same diarects

[@hoverboy]

@@CaciousLukama That culture of the Shona pple and Zulu people is shared by my people from Central Kenya and many other Bantu speaking languages including Swahili if you didn't know Swahili is considered Bantu. A Kikuyu like me can make out quite a number of similar words spoken by the Zulu of SA. So that anti slave culture was very prevalent here. Like you said, in the Swahili coast it was Arabs who were selling black Africans. Not a Kamba capturing a Taita from inland and then taking them to the port in Mombasa like it was the case in West Africa.
