from Real Black Consciousness Forum · host Big Vjay
#africanamerican #africa #blackhistory #aboriginal Join us as we have a conversation about the Black Americans holding a title of African Americans simply because the majority culture said so. It's time we descendants of slaves and indigenous Negroes of america, let go of the term "African American" and go back to calling ourselves Black - with a capital B. Modern America is home now to millions of immigrants who were born in Africa. Their cultures and identities are split between Africa and the United States. They have last names like Onwughalu and Senkofa. They speak languages like Wolof, Twi, Yoruba and Hausa, and speak English with an accent. They were raised on African cuisine, music, dance and dress styles, customs and family dynamics. Their children often speak or at least understand their parents' native language. Living descendants of slaves and negro Indians in America neither knew and cant trace a single African ancestors nor even have elder relatives who knew them. Most of us worship in Christian churches. Our cuisine is more southern U.S. than Senegalese. Starting with ragtime and jazz, we gave America intoxicating musical beats based on African conceptions of rhythm, but with melody and harmony based on Western traditions. Make sure you join the conversation! Like, share, and comment! Thanks! #RBCF
