A side note.
1) Some of these people you've cited have been from parts of / with Caribbean heritage. Not sure what your intention was, but if it was to disunify, you've failed because it contradicts the actual facts.
2) Secondly, countless of pan African “leaders” have been assassinated in Africa, the Caribbean and North America (USA).

“Walter Rodney moved to Tanzania in 1969. As a lecturer in history at the university, he threw himself into radical, political debates in the country, as attempts were made to break from a crippling colonial past. Chinedu Chukwudinma writes how Rodney immersed himself in the politics of the country and university, and went on to write his 1972 masterpiece, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa.”

It's best to let these people "delineate" (who consider themselves native / aboriginal to America, anyway) and continue without them....People anywhere can call themselves whatever they like, its their choice and God given right.
And no one can take that away..because case in point, we have seen the N word used, condemned and defended for decades by Black Americans..so who is to tell a people that insist they're N words anything??
No one cares what you call yourself, but when it's done to "delineate" from other Black groups and present yourself as somehow different and unique when everyone else is also different and unique it reeks of supremacy..
Same way every other Black group on earth gets annoyed by Nigerians constantly yapping about how smart, rich and strong they are..

They already received reparations and land distribution.
Okay.
What other Black groups have been separatists? Not individuals, but as a collective?

I'm from Tennessee, my Grandmother is of the Cherokee bloodline my Grandfather's bloodline is that of the Choctaw not only were not paid "reparations" my grandmother had land stolen from her, which according to her, she intended to be passed down though the generations. So can you imagine someone who was born in Europe (South American roots or not) telling someone whose actually from America with an actual indigenous bloodline that they're wrong?
That's like an Asian Man thinking he knows everything about black folk because he saw the movie Roots. I don't think some people understand what type of world we actually live in.

Have you done a DNA test? I have, I do have some Native American ancestry from the Andes Mountains. It's minimal.
By the logic you wrote both paternal DNA would aline with Amerindian ancestry.

The Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857).
Citation: Judgment in the U.S. Supreme Court Case Dred Scott v. John F. A. Sandford; 3/6/1857; Dred Scott, Plaintiff in Error, v. John F. A. Sandford; Appellate Jurisdiction Case Files, 1792 - 2010; Records of the Supreme Court of the United States, Record Group 267; National Archives Building, Washington, DC.
In this ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that enslaved people were not citizens of the United States and, therefore, could not expect any protection from the federal government or the courts. The opinion also stated that Congress had no authority to ban slavery from a Federal territory
In 1846, an enslaved Black man named Dred Scott and his wife, Harriet, sued for their freedom in St. Louis Circuit Court. They claimed that they were free due to their residence in a free territory where slavery was prohibited.
The odds were in their favor. They had lived with their enslaver, an army surgeon, at Fort Snelling, then in the free Territory of Wisconsin. The Scotts' freedom could be established on the grounds that they had been held in bondage for extended periods in a free territory and were then returned to a slave state. Courts had ruled this way in the past.
However, what appeared to be a straightforward lawsuit between two private parties became an 11-year legal struggle that culminated in one of the most notorious decisions ever issued by the United States Supreme Court. Scott lost his case, which worked its way through the Missouri state courts; he then filed a new federal suit which ultimately reached the Supreme Court.
On its way to the Supreme Court, the Dred Scott case grew in scope and significance as slavery became the single most explosive issue in American politics. By the time the case reached the high court, it had come to have enormous political implications for the entire nation.
On March 6, 1857, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney read the majority opinion of the Court, which stated that enslaved people were not citizens of the United States and, therefore, could not expect any protection from the federal government or the courts. The opinion also stated that Congress had no authority to ban slavery from a federal territory. This decision moved the nation a step closer to the Civil War.
The decision of Scott v. Sandford, considered by many legal scholars to be the worst ever rendered by the Supreme Court, was overturned by the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution, which abolished slavery and declared all persons born in the United States to be citizens of the United States.

- Upon a writ of error to a Circuit Court of the United States, the transcript of the record of all the proceedings in the case is brought before this court, and is open to its inspection and revision.
- When a plea to the jurisdiction, in abatement, is overruled by the court upon demurrer, and the defendant pleads in bar, and upon these pleas the final judgment of the court is in his favor--if the plaintiff brings a writ of error, the judgment of the court upon the plea in abatement is before this court, although it was in favor of the plaintiff--and if the court erred in overruling it, the judgment must be reversed, and a mandate issued to the Circuit Court to dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction.
- In the Circuit Courts of the United States, the record must show that the case is one in which by the Constitution and laws of the United States, the court had jurisdiction--and if this does not appear, and the court gives judgment either for plaintiff or defendant, it is error, and the judgment must be reversed by this court--and the parties cannot by consent waive the objection to the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court.

I actually grew up with Black Americans (FBA/ADOS) and do have family and friends in the States. So... I am not really getting what you're trying to say? But you do have I point, because I am not connect to Amerindians in North America, like you are as a Cherokee / Choctaw descendant. Not sure why you are on here arguing over Black people's rights and Black people's social, socioeconomic issues.
Are you on a reservation as we speak, all other Cherokees and Choctaws?

These people are sick ...now Blues is from Africa
Blues itself is not from Africa, logically. I made a thread on this topic of Blues and Jazz. It's about the root notes and how the chord progression is being played.

"Blues is considered an “American” genre of music but it’s still a historical and cultural continuation of African folk music adapted to a new environment. Therefore, African-American blues is both a foundation of American popular music and, stylistically, part of the larger African cultural family because it is fundamentally an African style of music."
[...]
That African scale system is the fundamental root of blues music.
Nketia also explains the various melodies, rhythms, scale patterns, and notations of indigenous African music. In the chapter on vocal melodies in The Music of Africa, Nketia shows the pentatonic system, which includes a flatted fifth, in an African vocal melody: C-D-E-G-B♭ [pg. 150]. Nketia explains:
…instead of a major sixth, a minor seventh is used. That is, instead of C-D-E-G-A, we have C-D-E-G-B♭… this gives a distinctive character to the music. An important feature of melodic organization associated with pentatonic structures is that of transposition, whereby the melody is shifted from one position of a trichord to another. The shift may be a whole step, or as much as two or three steps, up or down. That is, there could be a shift from a G-A-B or E-G-A-B sequence to an F-G-A or D-F-G-A sequence within the same song, or from A-G-F to D’-C-B♭ in the same song” [pg. 150]".
