Above the fray.
Direct descendant of Paul Bogle and cousin of the Goldings and Lightbournes

:blessed:

My family's name carries weight in eastern Jamaica. We'd be considered Boule in America

:win:
I'm confused. You rode for ADOS very strongly.

Even writing here detailing that "we are a separate group"

Now you claim to be at least partially of Jamaican descent, and claiming Bogle as an ancestor?

Were you false flagging then, or are you doing it now?

My paternal grandfather was behind the building of some schools in Haiti. I never got to know him though and everybody else from that gen died before I was born or when I was too young to remember them.

Wish I could see my ancestors on some Assassin's Creed shyt.

I've mentioned me being Jamaican and my relation to Paul Bogle several times on this site. You talk as if I've been hiding this information. Im both Jamaican and AA, so there's been no false flagging.

I'm confused. You rode for ADOS very strongly.

AAs are a separate group. Should I have said "they are" instead?

My great grandpa on my mamas side was a Tuskegee airmen.

Ive got quite a few engineers in my family (myself, my dad, my uncle, a few of my cousins) :manny:
Your family might know my mother’s side as they are mostly from Tuskegee and a few members and cousins still live there. My grandfather told me stories of how he saw GWC when he was really young, use to play outside by his house...

I did a thread that spotlights historically significant african american families.

https://www.thecoli.com/threads/americas-most-powerful-black-families.619760/

I've never came out and said exactly who my people are but I am collaterally connected to some of the people that I spotlighted in that thread.

And my people are substantially significant in Detroit and Atlanta. If you were to list the top 10 black business families of Atlanta, my family would be listed. Part of their money is tied up in Hartsfield-Jackson and just recently a cousin was behind the sale of Fort McPherson to Tyler Perry for the creation of his studios. In Detroit, well, we have a little old african american museum named after a relative.
