ok what's the point of this thread
American blacks have a history, they're just too brain-dead to look into it or even care. Whites at least have some semblance of tradition in history.
is west african history even taught in american schools?
stay woke brothers
I want Jim Crow to be reinstated
Mali is usually mentioned, and Liberia is usually discussed briefly. Other than that, no sadly
American history is hardly taught in American schools. Literally the furthest we ever went into African history was "There was once a kingdom called Mali and it had gold". That's it.
I mean the state of Nigeria didn't even exist until the 60s what do you expect?
Also keep in mind they believe that because Egypt is in Africa that West Africans are the ancestors of Egyptians so you can't expect much
>>"well you see I am 5% Irish, 10% Schwabian, 3% Scottish, 2% Sardinian, 5% Russian, 1,5% Finnish, 4% Basque... 7% Silesian
Only since DNA tests.
>and me and my family are doing our best to keep all the old traditions alive haha"
No one says this.
It's mostly because records weren't kept during the slave trade. The ones buying and using slaves didn't give a fuck where they were from; hell, they barely considered them people. And now, generations later, that's why you have a whole race in the USA with no clue where their ancestors were from other than a broad idea of the continent.
My high school world history class had a rundown on Ghana, Mali, and Songhai, but that's about it
Pre slavery we covered it a little. But it wasnt anything exciting. It is also obviously discussed when covering the slave trade.
Das right
Post the video
Aren't they mostly Bantu though?
Not him but yes and about 20% British Isles.
Who?
No either way.
Most American slaves came from modern Nigeria, Benin, Togo, or Ivory Coast.
Mali wasn't bantu in the slightest
Blacks have a pretty based and redpilled musical history
They got real good at singing cause slave cabins can get awfully boring at night.
I guess the phenotypes are somewhat recognizable.
I wish this board treated Americans better
Many of them are also mixed with white and Amerindian.
They tell us the Civil War was fought over slavery, which is 100% false. People can't open their eyes and see the South wanted to create their own currency and not be subject to the Union. Even black people who still live in the South support the confederate flag.
There were several issues, including economic ones. The South traditionally supported free trade so they could buy cheap goods from Europe and the North supported tariffs to protect industry. Southerners also disliked being beholden to Northeastern bankers.
