Us Africans need to start telling our own part of the story. I was born in the Republic of Congo and many slaves of that part were taken to Brazil and the Caribbean, our ancestors didn’t tell us about a Trade between Europe and Africa, but rather a capture campaign that took our loved ones. But all over the world even in our own schools back home they’re still teaching the perpetrator’s version of event. This needs to change.

so proud of dis documentary, as a jamaican/gullah/afrikan rastaman born inna north (baltimore) and raised inna souf (atlanta) I feel so seen. dis documentary touched on alla right spots and yall contacted alla right people and went alla right places. I think most black people inna U.S. rn could benefit from watchin dis. especially with da cultural erasure goin on and all da attempts to disconnect us from our ancestas and afrika. da connection is undeniable. dis documentary told our story how it should be told, from da root to da fruit.. with no interruption or interference by colonial perspectives. I'm not sure who exactly was behind dis whole ting but dis was definitely created with Afrikan people's interest in mind. our story, told by us. dis is a vital cultural artifact fa us as a people. I'm glad da stigmatization is fading and we finally recognize dat we not wrong, stupid or backwards, we jus afrikan. and we rememba who we is and where we from. original people from da original land. and even tho we dont all kno our original names and where we originally come from, we clearly aint forgot who we is! so proud of dis documentary and so proud to be afrikan. my ancestas wunt no slaves, we was warriors, we was nobles and before allat, we was what we is today - afrikan. even with all we been thru I wouldnt change being afrikan out fa NOTHING.. slavery and all, racism and all, I am what I am today bcuz my ancestas was before. they was proud, honorable, dignified, strong beyond strong, resilient, tenacious and unbreakable!! and to think.. we went thru ALLAT?? AND I'M STILL HERE???? what CANT I do?? FAIL. I cant express enough how perfect dis documentary is.. obadele kambon was a perfect addition too! and a NEEDED addition! when I seen him I KNEW what typa time yall was on. fa da people, by da people. abibifahodie. abibitumi. FOREVAAAAAAAA!!!! ASE'OOOOO!! 🔴⚫🟢 - side note: da pebble tapping at 51:49 brought me back to high school lunch tables and people who would beat with their hands and pencils. da rhythyms dey'd make was always INSANEEEE and ofc we always knew da riddim came from afrika (cuz who else hittin like us?) but to SEE it is a beautiful confirmation and connection. - I go on and on bout dis. but all Imma say is thank yall. mi a give NUFF thanks fi unnu. medaase paa!! keep up da amazing work.

I have wondered where bobbing and weaving of the head by AA women came from and then I visited Ghana in 2007 and saw it, but in a different context. I went to an open air vegetable market and on my way there I saw women with baskets on their heads who had stopped and were having a conversation. They were balancing baskets on their heads and bobbed and weaved to accomplish this as they talked. I had seen the same thing in the Caribbean.

What the did was put the African slaves they stole in with the brown and chocolate people people who had the same complex then, put all the light skin brothers and sisters,cousins on different Island then brainwashed and mislead them with lies and stereotypes, forced them to hate them selves and some that were light skin by because of rape some by mixing they brainwashed them to hate dark skin and to believe they were better than? This is why the ignorance of people still continues today, I think the light skin have so much hatred and jealousy of the brown people because it shows on them that they are the spoils of the world and the Europeans that don't want anything to do with them except to pit them against one another, while the dark brown people tried excepting them, yet the they chose to be separate, backstabbing and brainwashed to get ahead!!

It's a typical depiction of Cesare Borgia and was used as propaganda.

The last I checked, our Savior Messiah ascended and sits at the right hand of the Father, so a "black Jesus" picture is not the way to go as well. Btw....his T-shirt also has the words "Original Gangsta" written under the picture. Think objectively, research, and do better.

They not laughing at our speech anymore.... Jamaicans retain the Akan language...we call it Patwa there and the whole world is fascinated with it. It's the closest you'll get back to the Akan language. Unless you go back to Africa and find the Akan people.

That is not true, history shows that Christianity first spread to North East Africa before it took root in Western Europe. It was a different Christianity than that of Europe because of the African culture.

When it comes to our people that endured captivity in the diaspora or colonialism in Africa, our full names were our first name given by our parents, followed by son of or daughter of ( bin, or bat) then it would end in either of our parents first name. For example, Yeshua bin Miriam or Yeshua bin Yosef, or Solomon bin David, etc. Yeshua bin Miriam we know now as JESUS SON OF MARY.

the first Africans taken out was in the 13th century when Portugal sent 600 orphans to one of the islands of Africa. These weer the black Jews. This began taking of Africans to Brazil and the development of the Atlantic Slave Trade.....when Europeans saw how the Arabs conducted slave trains out of Africa they too wanted their share.

Is that "White Jesus" at 7:09? Come on brother! Strip off that white supremacy! And for those who doesn't feel like Christianity is white supremacy, what do you call it when one people comes to another people who've had their spiritual culture for centuries before you made up yours, and then you go to those people, who was here before you, and you tell them that your way is better than their way. Are you not saying that your way is supreme to their way? The word supremacy literally means "the state or condition of being superior to all others, in authority, power, or status. Who came to the continent telling the people here that the western religions are the true path?

Our "spiritual" culture is part of the reasons these evils happened to us. The white man just stayed at the shore while demon infested blacks went and brought their own kinds. Most of our religions involved sacrifice human at times, so if you can kill your brother for potency you can sure sell him, so Christianity is the solution not the cause
