They still have their names and languages and they have their own spaces. We on the other hand get the names Washington or Johnson or Jones or Davis, our language stripped, the country got rich and fat on our labor and if we try to go back "home" to the continent we are mocked and taken advantage of in many cases. I think we got the worse deal by far. When we innovate the whites just take it and claim they invented it.
Most natives also have European surnames

You really think we got a worse deal than native americans breh? Genocide is not as bad as slavery... in almost every metric native americans have it worse than us... higher rates of poverty, crime, alcoholism, etc.

Yeah I do. They have an identity. The white man destroyed ours. I hate white people. I really, really do. I didn't when I was a kid but after nearly thirty years of their bullshyt in the schoolyard, classroom, workplace and just at random, I've had enough and many others feel the same way.

And still have their own names as well as their own languages. We have ebonics.

True, our names are gone, but we still have a spoken language, its just that we (black americans) don't speak it. The vast majority of our ancestors most likely spoke some dialect of Swahili which is still widely spoken in Africa. Hell, most universities offer it as a second language too. The only reason why I didn't take it is because its not practical in the business sense, most people that speak swahili can also speak english its not a language commonly spoken around the world (like Mandarin or Spanish) and I wouldn't have anyone (where I currently live) to speak to in that language so i'd just forget it anyway, lol.

:dead: No they did not breh. Swahili is an East African language that has some extension into central Africa, but it did not have any meaningful presence in West Africa (if at all) and was not spoken by the "vast majority" of the ancestors of Afrikans living in the Americas today.

Well, my ancestry is Bantu so I'm only speaking anecdotally I guess.

Native Americans didn't use surnames prior to colonization, the vast majority of Native Americans today have either European surnames or in some cases they created their own

While it's true that some of them still have their languages, a lot of their culture has been lost.
