She hopes her achievements will inspire the other youth, those around her to give back and tackle challenges in their communities. If you got a problem with that thenI heard her say that she donated to her village in Nigeria. I don't see what part of that has to do with the history of the Freedmen? I am from overseas and not a descendant of Freedmen, but this is wrong. This Nigerian woman is completely clueless about this history. It's evidence in what she said. As you said she "fully participates in her community".
Meet Milwaukee's Miss Juneteenth 2023!
From starting her own charity to dance team captain and securing a spot at UW-Madison, there's not a lot 18-year-old Adaobi Nnamuchi hasn't done.www.tmj4.com

Adaobi is such a beautiful name.
This is an example why it is important to focus on "outcomes" vs "symbols".
Opportunity to more sternly define what the federal Juneteenth holiday means as far as state sponsored outcomes are concerned.

Not only is she a descendant of the muhfukkas that sold us off. She's also ugly as fukk. Whoever chose this bytch is a white supremacist 
The selling part is a very complicated issue. Some did collaborate and other fought against the enslavement. You look it in a vacuum, and not from a total view. Nor do we know who she descends from. All we know is that she’s an Igbo. With that being said, there’s a lot of Igbo descendants amongst the Freedmen descendants.Not only is she a descendant of the muhfukkas that sold us off. She's also ugly as fukk. Whoever chose this bytch is a white supremacist

“This support continued until the Portuguese began to forcefully kidnap and capture the innocent pagan natives of West Africa which were brought into Portugal and sold as slaves in 1444, an action that was blessed and praised by the papacy as a heroic step taken towards the salvation of the poor souls of those Black African captives.”

You obviously don’t know history that well.

That’s a great question and hard to answer. We don’t know and understand the mindset of the people back then. We do know about many slave rebellions. And we do know based on the life expectancies that these ancestors were actually children. Many reached the age at most 23 on average.

The more you type, the dumber you are appear to be. I posted about slave rebellions in west Africa and in the Americas. The title of the paper literally says “A Study of West African Slave Resistance from the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries”.
And these people were young at the time. We can’t judge them to why they did or didn’t do certain things. Some died as teens, some reached the age of a young adult.
“Median ages for black and mulatto slaves suggest that the population was young.
Population pyramids exhibit a narrow base and top with a broad middle. The high proportion of slaves between 10 and 30 years of age and the increase in population size between 1850 and 1860 were mainly related to the importation of slaves and only partly due to natural increase.”
