I suspected as much. I will address you as such then



Point taken


You are incorrect. The Male YDtna e3b1b is an African marker that passes from father to son in an unbroken chain thousands of years back so regardless of the mix of people in Egypt today we can determine the ones who's male ancestors were the original ancient Egyptians. If any Ydtna for an Egyptian males does not correlate to this marker then his lineage is not from the original peoples of Ancient Kemet.

The Ashkenazi Jews of course know deep down inside they do not descend from the ancient Hebrews/cannanites/phonecians but have ursurped that history and peoples so I am not in argument with that.

I don't really have to based on these sources and based on my experience in the public elementary school system that had a large african american population(thank God I went to private school after that), countless other examples, and from the few educated & successful african american friends I know have told me of people in their community, thats enough for me. As I said before I think there is a population of successful & educated african americans but they are not the majority, if they were, Don Lemon wouldn't have the backing to say what he said in CNN about his community high out of wed lock rate.

Oprah Winfrey: "I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there," she says. "If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school."

Then, Obama got real. He talked about how black Americans use this "group think" psychology to bully other blacks, keep them from expressing themselves as individuals and stop them from assimilating into the broader culture of America.
"Sometimes African-Americans, in communities where I've worked, there's been the notion of 'acting white' -- which sometimes is overstated," he told the group. "But there's an element of truth to it, where, OK, if boys are reading too much, then, well, why are you doing that? Or why are you speaking so properly? And the notion that there's some authentic way of being black, that if you're going to be black you have to act a certain way and wear a certain kind of clothes, that has to go. There are many different ways for African-American men to be authentic."

I'm in trouble!

taneez:
They didn't make African immigrants who or what they are, they created the "environment" or opportunity. Do you think an average white person of that time new the difference between African immigrants or black americans?
Blacks we're blacks to them even coloured were still blacks. And these people fought for the opportunities

E.g right to vote- if an African immigrant at that time travelled to America and maybe became a citizen he wouldn't still have been able to vote because he was still black.
School- if an African immigrant at that time settled in America and wanted to send his children to school he would still have been segregated because not all schools were open to blacks.

The above examples shows what the black americans fought for. They carried placards, protested, segregated and even killed.

When you see these African Americans and the way they behave. The way they act! They won't even wait to hear from before telling you to *fućk off*
Very dirty set of individuals. NOT ALL! BUT ALMOST.. Go to their neighborhoods and all you keep hearing is "Fućk! I shot the bâstard"
Dirty and smelly neighborhoods!


They believe every person who doesn't support their foolish ideology is 'Uncle Tom'

By the way, they CAN NEVER OFFER YOU ANY HELP here..

Well, when you have 72% of african american births out of wed lock that is not a few that is the majority and I stated that fact lol with sources, you can spin that all you want.

"So Lemon is correct that "more than 72 percent of children in the African-American community are born out of wedlock." To make sure we weren’t missing something, we asked two population experts -- Tom W. Smith, a senior fellow at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, and Douglas Massey, professor at Princeton University's Office of Population Research -- and they agreed that the statistic is the best available."

These are the actions of a few to you, hmm ok

"The black community's 72 percent rate eclipses that of most other groups: 17 percent of Asians, 29 percent of whites, 53 percent of Hispanics and 66 percent of Native Americans were born to unwed mothers in 2008, the most recent year for which government figures are available. The rate for the overall U.S. population was 41 percent."

One of the most important social changes unfolding in the United States over the past half century has been the decline of the institution of marriage – a decline especially steep among blacks. In 1960, roughly 74% of whites were married, and the rate dropped to 56% in 2008. That is a big drop, but not compared to the plummeting marriage rate for blacks. In 1960, 61% of blacks were married in 1960, but by 2008 it was only 32%. Blacks also get divorced more often and remarry less frequently than whites.

When it comes to Nigerians being sold to slavery in Libya, well they are not the majority based on these numbers especially since Nigeria has a population of 200,000 million now:
"Earlier this month, the Nigerian government began the immediate removal of some 5,500 people from the North African country after reports of abuse, slavery and torture.

Large numbers of Nigerians were among thousands of migrants trapped in Libya in their attempt to escape war and economic hardship in their home countries and reach Europe."
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/01/nigerian-migrants-return-libya-square-180109094222431.html

"Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)More than 200 Nigerian migrants stranded in Libya have been returned to their home country, Nigerian officials said.

The 242 migrants landed at Lagos airport on a Libyan Airlines flight at around 9:00 pm local time (3:00pm ET) on Tuesday. Among them were women carrying children and at least one man in a wheelchair."
https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/africa/nigeria-migrants-returned-libya/index.html

Nigeria has repatriated at least 9,438 of its nationals trapped in Libya while efforts are ongoing to bring back everyone willing to return to their country, according to an official involved in the repatriation process.

“So far, about 9,438 migrants have been repatriated from Libya in collaboration and support of the International Migration Organization (IOM),” Abike Dabiri-Erewa, a presidential aide on foreign relations and diaspora, said in a statement late Sunday.

“Those that were brought back are being profiled and enrolled in various technical and vocational training centers with relevant agencies and nongovernmental organizations,” she added.

The official said the repatriation, ordered by the president, began shortly after footages emerged on the Internet of some of the migrants narrating their ordeals in the war-torn North African country and urging the Nigerian government to bring them home.

I never mentioned drug dealing as being the majority in the african american community but since you brought it up, I'll leave these sources for you

Over the past year alone, nearly 15% of the adult population in Nigeria (around 14.3 million people) reported a “considerable level” of use of psychoactive drug substances
https://qz.com/africa/1538843/nigeria-drug-abuse-14-million-adults-use-drugs/
I know this is about drug dealers as you said but since the numbers of drug addicts in Nigeria is around 15%, that number doesn't mean the majority, even its not something I think anybody should be proud of. As a result we can assume that those numbers don't beat the amount of trash drug dealers in Nigeria, so based on that they are not the majority in Nigeria but it exist in Nigeria thanks for high lighting that less then majority population.

I will say though when it comes to sex traffickers & prostitues in ITALY ONLY well I guess you can say a significant majority come from Nigeria and majority are from Edo state:
"The All Africa News Agency (AANA) reported that Nigeria leads all African countries in the number of women who are shipped abroad for prostitution (5 June 2000). Citing the local weekly The News, AANA reported the Italian Ambassador to Nigeria, Giovanni Germano, as saying that 60 per cent of all sex workers in Italy are Nigerian and that 90 per cent of those repatriated or intercepted come from Edo State (AANA 5 June 2000). The Daily Trust, relying on information provided by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), says that about 80 per cent of girls engaged in prostitution in Italy are from Nigeria (15 July 2002)."
"Although Edo State reportedly accounts for the majority of the women who become prostitutes, police figures show that the deportees returning to Nigeria come from 14 out of Nigeria's 36 states (ibid.)."
https://www.refworld.org/docid/3f7d4de538.html

BUT

its high with african american as well so I guess Nigerians and african americans have a tie in that, Africans americans in America & Nigerians in Italy, does that make you happy

– 62% of human trafficking suspects are African Americans

– 52% of all juvenile prostitution arrests are African Americans

– 40% of victims of human trafficking are African-Americans
AFRICAN AMERICAN HUMAN TRAFFICKING NUMBERS AMONG THE HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY.

Even with that I will stand with my sources about majority of African americans cause they are not talking about a few people but a large amount to the majority as far as I am concerned.

Caribbean people are not exempted, they are just as bad if not worse than African Americans.

Okpa042:
There is a huge chasm between African-Americans and African immigrants in the United States. That chasm has widened over the years. It has caused deep animosity between many African-Americans and their African immigrant cousins.

The chasm has prevented African-Americans from participating in the current economic boom in Africa and it has shut many African immigrants out of opportunities for economic advancement here in the United States.

The problem stems from deep misconceptions, sometimes fueled by the U.S. media. Astonishingly, many African-Americans believe that Africans are backward and primitive. Some make crude jokes about Africans or do not acknowledge the great contribution Africa has made to the world.

For their part, many African immigrants buy into the erroneous notion that African-Americans are lazy and violent.

They do not appreciate the great sacrifice African-Americans made, through advocating for their civil rights, to lay the foundation for Africans to be able to come to the United States and live in a country where both blacks and whites have equal rights, at least in theory if not always in practice.

The different experiences of the two groups

To understand the deep division that exists between African Americans and Africans, one first has to examine the background of the two groups.

Before migrating to the United States, most Africans have typically dealt with white Americans who went to Africa as Peace Corps volunteers, missionaries, doctors or teachers. These Americans acted as mentors and guardians to the Africans and developed positive relationships with them.

When they come to the United States, it has been my experience that Africans can easily identify with white Americans because they understand each other. Before migrating to the United States, the majority of Africans have had little to no direct negative experiences with whites. They simply do not hate them.

On the other hand, most African-Americans grew up in black neighborhoods where they learned from older generations the history of slavery and the cruelty it inflicted on the black race. Furthermore, they have usually experienced firsthand and in their communities the legacies of racism that still exist in the United States.

With this background, many African-Americans are not generally predisposed to trust white Americans, and they look down on those African immigrants who express respect or admiration for white Americans.

How they react to racism and discrimination

A fundamental difference between African Americans and African immigrants is the way they react to racism and discrimination.

African Americans usually see racism as the main cause of poverty among their people. They are also quick to point out instances of perceived racism, even in circumstances where it is ambiguous, unclear or more complex than simple racial bigotry or discrimination.

A classic example is the currently large African-American population in prison. Most African-Americans feel that the only reason there are so many African Americans incarcerated is their race. They blame police discrimination and lawmakers who make laws weighted to punish blacks.

For Africans, after suffering many years in civil wars, military coups and other problems, they are happy to be in a country that offers them freedom. They are ready to integrate into the American culture without getting involved in the lingering racial conflicts. They do not typically get involved in the ongoing civil rights struggle – and that has angered many African-Americans.

How they react to adversity

Perhaps the greatest difference I have seen between African immigrants and African-Americans is how they react to adversity.

Most African immigrants to the United States came here for economic advancement. They do not have any political agenda. They are willing to take any job and do not blame the “system” when they fail in their endeavors.

Most African immigrants to the United States often live in mixed neighborhoods instead of black neighborhoods and they easily integrate. African immigrants know who they are. They are not easily offended when someone tries to put them down. They know where they come from and why they are here.

For African-Americans, there is often a tendency to blame slavery for most of the problems they face today. For instance, when African American students fail in school, some educators blame slavery and do not look for other factors.

However, the time has come for African Americans to realize that while racism still persists, the best thing they can do for their children is to teach them to take full responsibility for their actions. Fathers need to take care of their children and young women need to stay in school instead of having children.

It is only when black people, be they from Africa or America, unite to instill discipline and respect for each other that the chasm that has divided us will narrow. Then we can finally work together to remove poverty from our people both here in the United States and Africa.

Sorry to burst your bubble but african american worldwide are seen in negative light to, in certain areas, if you check different news organizations they report the out of wed lock rate in the african american community that is over 75% now, How 70% of black american women are single, The Ghetto culture that is glamorized in the African american community, Gangs & drug dealing in high rates, and etc that have been reported in BBC, Al jazerra and other news organizations. I don't see that as positive traits. The world imitate african american Rap & hip hop culture cause its seen as cool and that is it but they don't embrace other aspects of african american culture.
