Africans break dancing in the 50's

[IllmaticDelta]

Do you have another one of these charts for other states?

I haven't seen any other's with that amount of detail. A few similar/related ones

Old Liberian music but of course if you know the history the AA influence is very clear.

Interesting.... You know I took the ancestry DNA test and my highest African percentages came from Benin/Togo being the highest and second highest Cameroon/Congo while my migration patterns were Virginia & deep south African Americans but, my Nigeria percentage was less than 1%

I got love for the whole diaspora

Africans, AAs, Carribeans, etc. We all amazing

Divisive, bitter dweebs won't like this post

Wonderful for African people.

Most Black Americans didn't know what Africans were doing in the 1900's -- especially on a large scale to influence our entertainment.

So I am guessing it's in our DNA --- Due to our ancestors being from Africa -- we are going to have some.. well many.... similarities.

But, did they [Africans] create it in the States -- NAH.

So they just conveniently had a camera there, in Africa, in the 50’s?

These genetic testing companies are very bad. I bet very few of them have ventured deep into Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo etc. etc. to collect Igbo genetic material.

Then White people running around claiming that Country Music and Folk Music are from the Highlands of Scotland. Then later on those same White people find out that the Banjo is from Africa and the slaves were playing Country Music on the plantations. It really burns their souls to find out that their biggest Country/Blue Grass stars learned their crafts from Black Blues musicians.

Genetically you are African but culturally you are closer to European

Is that why your african ass can relate to us better than europeans

African Ancestry is pretty good.

How did you come to this conclusion, And where do you live?

Also, even though you feel this way about AA, you insist on posting on this forum, instead of just going to niaraland where you wouldn't have to be bothered with us. It's the most backward shyt I've ever seen.
I damn sure as he'll ain't spending time on no forum filled with cacs or people I feel a certain type of way about, I'll just leave.

And I only see this directed at AAs even though us diasporians share similar cultures (i can only personaly speak for Jamaicans, AAs, Bahamians, and Ricans) and in some cases histories. Some foreign on the internet make it seem like West indians didnt go threw the same shyt AA did. They'll try disassociate people like the Gullah Geeche from AA, but act like every Jamaican is a Maroon




Refuting the myth that Black American music/culture is "Europeanized".

@Diasporan Royalty @IllmaticDelta and @Supper destroyed this myth in a single thread which I linked to you before but you either didn't read it or you're just choosing to be a hard ass.

First of all it is the internet and I can go to any website I please, I do not feel any type of way about AAs. My opinion about AAs being culturally more Euro than African is based on my observation. For example I remember when I was in HS I invited my AA friend to my house, he was surprised and grossed out that we ate certain foods with our hands, that is the exact same reaction a White person would have if they saw an African eating with their hand.
