Well you my poor depraved IGBO hater have a right to your opinion on what degree of melanoma and pigment determines acceptable physical blackness to your criteria. I am from the land of slavery, Jim Crow, KKK, lynchings, Civil Rights, one drop of black blood making folks black no matter how blue the eyes or blonde the hair, where in the eyes of the whites we were all Niggers, yellows, browns, blacks, and blue black shines. So, frankly, I don't give a f u c k whether or not I am black enough for you! 2 Likes |

RONALD VENETIAAN LOOKS LIKE THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA. HES PURELY AKAN, HE CAN BLEND IN GH. Our blood is strong*shaking his Ashanti a$$* Origins Most of the slaves imported to Suriname came from Central Africa (more of 66,900 slaves, the 31,6% of the slaves of the place), Ghana (the 25% of the slaves, more of 53.000 people) and Bight of Benin (from there arrived the 16,4% of the slaves, more of 34,700 people). In Suriname also arrived thousands of slaves from Senegambia (since where were imported more of 1,300 slaves from there to archipelago, the 0,7% of the slaves) and the current Sierra Leone (0,7% of the slaves of the region, more of 1.400 people), Windward Coast (the 3,6% of the slaves of the island, more of 7,520 people) and Bight of Biafra (from there arrived the 2,1% of the slaves, more of 4,300 people).[citation needed] The Akans of Fanti subgroup (a subgroup exported, at least, from Ivory Coast) and Ashanti (from the Ashanti Region, in central Ghana) were, legally, the predominant group among slaves in Suriname. However, in practice, slaves from Loango,[1]purchased in Cabinda, Angola,[2] were the largest group of slaves in Suriname since 1670 and surpassed the Gold Coast in almost all periods. However, there were also slaves Ewe (who live in southern Ghana, Togo and Benin), Yoruba (from Benin[3]) and Kongos, who left their cultural footprints in Suriname. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Surinamese 1 Like

Afro-Curacao ANDRUW JONES is from here Origins Most slaves were for Ghana (15,000 slaves came from this place. Many of them were Ashantis[1]). The rest of the slaves were imported from Senegambia (over 2,000 slaves), Sierra Leone (only 669 slaves came from this place), the Windward Coast (542 slaves), Bight of Benin (over 37,000 slaves), the Bight of Biafra (over 1,000 slaves) , Angola (specifically Loangos from Cabinda Province.[1] More than 38,000 Central African slaves were exported to Curaçao and "other" places in Africa (3,268 slaves).[2] In addition, some linguists consider the Papiamento must have arisen on this island. At this point we should mention that some linguists who have studied the Papiamento, suggest the arrival of slaves Cape Verdeans (most Cape Verdeans are of Guinean origin) and São Toméan of Angolan origin to the islands, groups which, according to them, could have influenced the creation of this dialect. Ethnically Afro-Curaçaoans largely descended from the intermarriages and contacts between the African Slaves, Amerindians that lived on the island, Spanish slave traders, British log cutters and Dutch settlers . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Cura%C3%A7aoan

Jayvarley: Hey! The name Ghana does not have any cultural significance among the tribes in present day Ghana. The name originates from the Mali Empire and was adopted by Kwame Nkrumah to replace Gold Coast in order to have an African identity. Present day Ghana is diversed, we have the Hausas of Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Mali now integrated. 2 Likes |

look here, this is the ONE and only time I will address this issue unlike some cowards, when i address people i use ONE account. I don't need to TALK TO or console myself using another I.D. I am grown and have no respect for alt account clowns esp. those who chat shyt. That's one. Second the same dude disrespected the fulani ethnic group JUST BECAUSE i said some of our forefathers were fulani among other groups. (Jayvarley, Kwame, and Chima can back me up on that!!) Now just because your "lord and saviour" or should i say really your SECOND PERSONALITY, felt butthurt that he/YOU cannot claim an entire group of people (diaspora blacks) as his/YOUR own, he/YOU resorted to personal and bigoted attacks that were tribalistic in nature. Because I respect Fulaman, I didn't want him associated with the likes of THAT/YOUR ILK. And I am done. FOH with that obviously FAKE profile picture. Now keep recycling this culture section page as guest to see if i left, log on and chat more sh-t if you like, I'm out. 2 Likes |
