    After you see Afro-caribbeans, Afro-Latinos, and Africans you cannot deny that we are one people. We could change the world if we only realized that and start living together in oneness. I look at those ladies preparing food and saw my grandma back in Jamaica. Only difference is the language

      We're not one ppl. Are Japanese and Chinese one ppl? Did they come from the same Dynasty? No. They are on the same continent and are brethren, but they are different. They do not identify as "one ppl" and still understand the need to have a united front. We can be different (and are) and still unify without throwing false narratives around to to accomplish this.

      @@diwi5823 Hello, actually the Han Chinese, Japanese and Koreans share one common ancestor tracing to the Shang Dynasty in Chinese history. The migration/break away of groups happened about 3,000-3,600 years ago. The genetic makeup of these groups differ by 1%, which I believe is the smallest percentage of any groups of any groups studied so far. So they are extremely close genetically speaking, though their cultures differ in this modern age , there are also some similarities. 50%-60% of Japanese and Korean languages come from Chinese. At one time Koreans wrote in Chinese characters. Koreans invented their system of writing around 1441.

I am from the Loma/Lorma tribe in West Africa, and our traditional color is Black, White and Yellow. Even now there is a Loma/Lorma musical band in Guinea, West Africa, they still wear Black, White and Yellow clothes during their performances and other days. Thank you Brother for this video.

      Our people were actually transported to west Africa.They were dropped off there.The invaders come to Americas taking our people back.Learn more about the travels they made here and realize how they kept going back.They were taking us as they go.Their are no traces of people coming directly from west Africa to the Americas EVER.The people in west Africa retained more of the culture due to no outside negative influence from foreigners.They were dropped off and did not have to continue dealing with the others like we do living amongst them.Any group living amongst the non melanated will eventually lose their identity,language and customs.We get to relaxed and careless being around people who have no actual origin.We were on every piece of land and still are today while the others are not.The out of Africa theory was explaining how their were multiple negro groups if you really research the theory and how it explains people coming out of Africa.Once you learn about the slc24a5 pale skin mutation you will then put two and two together to see what the out of Africa theory really is.

    The Garifuna are the descendants of indigenous Arawak, Kalinago (Island Carib), and Afro-Caribbean people. The founding population of the Central American diaspora, estimated at 2,500 to 5,000 persons, were transplanted to the Central American coast from the Commonwealth Caribbean island of Saint Vincent,[7] which was known to the Garinagu as Yurumein,[8] in the Windward Islands in the British West Indies in the Lesser Antilles. Small Garifuna communities still live in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The Garifuna diaspora abroad includes communities in Honduras, in the United States, and in Belize.

I am Mexican indigenous but my great great grandma was black but we don’t care we are just mexicans I am brown indigenous but my auntie and some of my uncles also were black. The thing is in Mexico there is no pure black neither white or brown we all have little of everything so that’s why we all are one forget the past and move forward 🤷🏽🇲🇽 and one more thing the dance it is not African decent it is honduran dance it is called punta. Same thing with bachata salsa etc they are a mix of everything that’s is why the latin culture is the best 💪🏽

      @Mr robot No buddy. See, you're not from Honduras. These people got the government to call them INDIGENOUS, which only applied to Native Americans and not Africans. Because they claimed to be Indigenous to America and nothing to do with Africa. And if you tell them they're African, they get mad. They say they're the Indigenous people of America and were here before 1492, even though history and archeology doesn't support that. So why did they ask to be called officially Indigenous? Because Indigenous lands and people are protected. They didn't have legal ownership of the lands they lived on since the late 1700's. And foreign corporations wanted those lands for hotels and resorts along the Caribbean sea coast of Honduras. They weren't going to get a cut. Now they will by being designated Indigenous people even though they aren't really Indigenous to America. If you aren't informed, don't comment.

I mean a whole family, mother,father, sons and daughters in law. people would be sleeping all over the house. My grandmother was good for that. I remember when you could leave your door open and no one would go in your house. We use to hang our clothes line at our floor landing Window, and no one ever bothered the clothes.
