African Americans are indigenous to Africa.
I don’t wanna hear none of that “African Americans are indigenous to America because y’all been here 400 years/since 1619,” when our direct lineages, our ancestors, our cultures + traditions, and heritages outside of the ones we created in America, can be traced back to Africa.
We literally retained so much.
It’s a literal slap in the face when someone screams otherwise. “You’re not from Africa, you’re from [enter diasporic place of origin]!” Nigga, these genes, disya AFRICAN blood, and my African ancestors are comforting me with words that are the opposite of what you’re saying.
Are you calling my ancestors liars? Because they can and will jump yo ass, and I don’t think you want that.
Look, I don’t care HOW much colonizer blood wears down our Blackness if it’s still dominant, NIGGA WE AFRICAN. I don’t care how many years, how many generations removed from Africa we is, WE AFRICAN. Geographical location nor the weakening of our bloodlines while still dominant
won’t never take the African outta ME, nigga, and I’m nearly 70% African. Yuh tink mi cyeh bout mi non-Black ancestry if not applicable to my Black ancestry? Fuck no.
i find it funny that folks are coming under here under the assumption that i’m not african american because i don’t have the american flag in my bio or “ados” LMFAOOOOO.
like, yes i’m ethiopian but i’m also african american.
