[@DionneEguono]

That;s because Black Americans have their own culture developed in their country, In the UK we are just 2-4 generations away the first Caribbean and African immigrants so our slang has a lot of influence from those countries, specifically jamaica though because back in the 60s-90s Reggae/Ragga music was the most popular black music we had in the UK. Now it is Afrobeats but the Jamaican influence is still very much there.

[@activistbook3809]

@@DionneEguonoin the UK we have black Britons in numbers as early as the Tudors in the 15th century. Most are linked to Liverpool and Bristol - but some communities (heavily intermixed) still exist. The last wave was in 80 90s from West Africa - and there was a wave before that post-WWI than the Windrush in the 50s-70s for West Indians.

She was looking at it from a UK perspective where black migration only started after WW2, with the Caribbeans first and then Africans in the later 80s, early 90s. She’s think the US is the same.

[@nanakwasi9360]

Sickle cell disease primarily affects people of African descent, but it can also be found in people from the Middle East, India, Latin America, and Mediterranean countries. The reason it is more common in these populations has to do with a genetic mutation that provides a survival advantage against malaria. Here’s a bit more detail: 1. **Malaria Connection**: In regions where malaria is prevalent, carrying one copy of the sickle cell gene (being a "carrier" or having sickle cell trait) offers some protection against severe malaria. This advantage means that carriers are more likely to survive and pass on the sickle cell gene to their offspring. 2. **Genetic Inheritance**: Sickle cell disease occurs when a person inherits two copies of the sickle cell gene, one from each parent. If both parents are carriers, there’s a 25% chance their child will have sickle cell disease, a 50% chance the child will be a carrier, and a 25% chance the child will not have the gene at all. 3. **Population Genetics**: Because the sickle cell gene provides an advantage in malaria-endemic regions, it has become more common in these populations over many generations. As a result, descendants of these populations, including many African Americans, have higher rates of sickle cell disease and trait. In summary, while sickle cell disease is most common among people of African descent, it is not exclusive to them. The distribution of the sickle cell gene is closely tied to historical patterns of malaria prevalence.

Gen X here. Really enjoyed this interview. I was surprised the Nigerian brother didn't know how the common denominator between the UK and Canada road accents is Jamaica. Yes. Big up West Africa, who is the dominant DNA in us Caribbeans.💪

25:02-“ how can people find out more about the disease?” @Roasia Foundation… This is an organization that focuses on teaching us all about the disease and a community of people who not only carry it, but teaches about the traits as well. This subject is very important I believe we need to spread the word about it as well as inform ourselves about it and that’s what @RoasiaFoundation does. Salute to you brother Rapman and to TBC for having this brother on 💯
