Here is an analysis done by Garrison Hayes. I agree with his talking points, besides the claim that Kamala is a black woman. And to be honest I dislike Cynthia Erivo because of the many disgusting things she has said and done. So I do understand why Black Americans are galvanising against this.

Garrison Hayes explains how children of Black immigrant families become more integrated into Black America the longer they stay in the States. he dresses the most important question, what happens to Black America next, when all bridges have been burned down? He stated, they sure have something, "but I don't know what it is?"

That's not my problem, but your problem. However, I happed to be more concerned with what is about to happen to Black Americans than you, which is ironic and saddening.

White supremacy is rising... but of course you are misinformed and lack knowledge of this, because you rather listen to a high school dropout. Yes, I know it's always has been here, but it's rising more than before...

The Amazing Lucas - SB-515’s Lineage Delineation Problem Explained

Legislation introduced by Sen. Laura Richardson (D–Inglewood) that would require local governments to disaggregate demographic data for Black or African American populations is up for a key vote this week.

Richardson is a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC).

Senate Bill (SB) 515 — titled “Local Government: Collection of Demographic Data” — will be heard by the Assembly Committee on Appropriations.

The bill passed the Assembly Local Government Committee on July 2 by a vote of 8-2. CLBC members Rhodesia Ransom (D-Stockton) and Lori Wilson, members of the Local Government Committee, (D-Suisun City) voted to advance the measure.

Prof Smalls comes from an era, where people were illiterate and evolved from a book reading culture from authors and activists whose work were scrutinized, studied, attacked by the white power structure, and put through the ringer of white supremacists who wanted to call their work sub standard, but withstood the test of their scrutiny.

I really miss growing up around the young black male book reading culture of old New York City. No college or university I attended covered the range of books many of my everyday friends, random Five Percenters, some of whom were high school dropouts and considered lacking, possessed.

We had a culture around what books we read, authors like Dr. Ben, Ivan Van Sertima, J.A. Rogers, and others whose work we followed. We'd tell our friends which black bookstores or bookstands we purchased our books from. The conversations that followed were robust and full of black life. We even heard it in our New York hip hop in references.

It was a great time I thought would last forever, but alas, our book-reading culture has died with the advent of social media, the closure of black bookstores, gentrification, and a general drop in literacy. We now have clowns like Kanye and Kyrie who say “reading is overrated.” We no longer have universities giving up-and-coming black scholars room to invest in their scholarship. Things have changed.

I miss when authors were our heroes. We were fanboys of these authors. Now these 'heroes' today are those who give you bite-sized social media clips. Tariq, Dr Umar and other compete jokes. The “only smart guy” in a room full of entertainment peddlers. And people today feel nourished by it. They don't encounter the nourishment that comes with an author's well-researched work, which you've read over a period of weeks, containing annotations or bibliographies that refer you to past authors and their works. And it wasn't a superpower for us to simply read; we just did it. Today, it seems to be a superpower just to do what was once a simple act.

What a time... I miss it. Sorry Proff. Its too late for these functional illiterates who are bedazzled by social media personalities with no substance.

Dwann B is a clown!

21:50 This joker keeps insisting that Black people are indigenous to the Americas! 😅

22:20 He doesn’t understand that Africans came with Iberians to the Americas before the 16th century. Why does it stop there? Why doesn’t it go back further, since he has it all “registered”.

Since his ancestors always have been in the Americas, let him do a DNA test (anamosly). So, based on that his genetic composition should be different.

Let’s verify historical accounts…:

* 1502: Spanish conquistadors began to transport enslaved Africans to the Caribbean.

* 1526: A Spanish expedition to establish a colony in what is now South Carolina included enslaved Africans. These Africans rebelled, preventing the Spanish from establishing the settlement. This is considered the first documented instance of enslaved Africans in what would become the continental United States.

* 1565: The Spanish brought enslaved Africans to St. Augustine, Florida, the first permanent European settlement in the continental United States.”

If you want to see some real “coppered colored Indians”, go to the Amazon region. They are still in the rainforest and Andes region.

38:58 this is another flaw and false claim he pushes as “information”.

1:28:54 all that is not true, just like the rest of his pseudo babble.

“A pentatonic scale is a five-note scale, while heptatonic is seven notes. That specific scale originates from Africa, particularly West Africa. It is not found in the classical Western tradition or other musical traditions around the world, which have their own unique musical systems.”
(Adam Hudson, The African roots of blues music, the blues scale)

This guy is pseudo has hell! 😂

Furthermore, 39:56 Black Americans weren’t isolated from other enslaved African descendants in the Americas.

1. Haitian (Saint-Domingue) Migration → Louisiana (1791–1810)

The largest pre-1900 Black Caribbean migration to the American South.

Key facts:
• ~10,000–15,000 refugees from Saint-Domingue (Haiti) arrived in New Orleans between 1791 and 1810.
• Included free Black Creoles, enslaved people, and mixed-race families.
• They transformed Louisiana’s:
• Creole identity
• French/Kreyol language
• Catholic/Afro-Caribbean spiritual traditions

Most New Orleans Black Creole families with Caribbean ancestry trace it to this wave.

2. Barbados → Charleston, South Carolina (1670s–1700s)

Caribbean planters from Barbados founded Charleston and brought enslaved Africans who had been “seasoned” in the Caribbean.

Effects:
• Cultural and agricultural techniques (rice, indigo) flowed from the British West Indies to the Carolinas.
• Early Black population of South Carolina had noticeable Barbadian-Caribbean influence.

This shaped what later became the Gullah-Geechee culture.


3. Rice Coast Africans via the Caribbean → Georgia & South Carolina (1700s)

Many enslaved Africans taken from:
• Sierra Leone
• Senegambia
• Windward Coast

were first transported to Caribbean islands, then re-exported to the U.S. South.

This was not Caribbean ancestry per se, but it means:
• Their port of entry was Caribbean
• Cultural exchange happened between Africans and Afro-Caribbeans

This contributed to:
• Gullah-Geechee language patterns
• Rice-growing expertise
• Afro-Atlantic cultural continuity


4. Saint-Domingue Refugees → Savannah & Charleston (1790s–1810s)

Smaller but significant.
• Haitian revolution also sent refugees to Savannah and Charleston.
• Some free people of color settled and integrated into local Black communities

I used to be a big Tariq fan but he’s too ignorant on too many things for me to ignore, but that doesn’t mean he’s not “sincere” about where he stands on issues.

I think this attempt to put everything as apart of a scandal or conspiracy undermines the real challenge in refuting or debating the merits of the argument themselves. If he’s wrong, let’s show why or how. Just labeling it and hoping that the threat of calling someone out shuts them down is insecurity and weakness.

:ohhh: you might actually be as dumb at thecoli says you are :picard:

I’m basic educated in actual history, not fantasy babble. Dwann B and you are pretendians, self proclaimed color coppered Indians!


Meanwhile you have an Italian man claiming jazz came from Italians, but with thy your dumbass has no issues.

I made a thread about it / him.



"In Haiti they won autonomy; in the United States they fled from the slave states in the South to the free states in the North and to Canad.

Here the Free Negroes helped form the Abolition Movement, and when that seemed to be failing, the Negroes began to plan for migration to Africa, Haiti and South America."

Call-and-response has very deep roots, and its origin is African — long predating Christianity, gospel music, or Western hymn traditions.

Here is a clear explanation:

🌍 Origin of Call-and-Response

1. West and Central African musical traditions

Call-and-response is a core feature of traditional African music, especially among cultures in:
  • West Africa (Yoruba, Akan, Igbo, Mande, Wolof, etc.)
  • Central Africa (Kongo, Luba, etc.)
In these traditions:
  • A leader sings or chants a phrase (the call).
  • The community responds with a repeated or complementary phrase (the response).
  • It reinforces community participation, rhythm, and shared identity.
This structure appears in:
  • work songs
  • dance ceremonies
  • religious rituals
  • storytelling
  • drumming ensembles
It is thousands of years old.

⛓️

2. How it came to the Americas

Enslaved Africans brought call-and-response directly to:
  • the Caribbean
  • Brazil
  • the United States
Because enslaved people were often prevented from using drums or instruments, they adapted the tradition vocally:
  • work songs on plantations
  • field hollers
  • ring shouts
  • early spirituals
This preserved African rhythm and social structure even under oppression.

🎶

3. Influence on African-American music

Call-and-response became the foundation of:
  • spirituals
  • blues
  • gospel
  • jazz
  • soul
  • funk
  • hip-hop (MC → crowd responses)
In Black churches, the preacher–congregation dynamic (“Can I get an amen?”) is a direct continuation of this African structure.

🎤

4. How it shaped “Amazing Grace”

When African-American communities sang hymns like Amazing Grace, they naturally incorporated:
  • leader vs. congregation lines
  • echoing phrases
  • improvised responses
  • rhythmic interaction
This is why the gospel versions sound so different from the original 18th-century English hymn.

If you want, I can also explain:
  • how call-and-response works musically
  • examples from specific African ethnic groups
  • or how it evolved into hip-hop and modern R&B.

You and Dwann are not the color coppered Indians they talked about.

"They go completely naked except that around their loins they wear skins of small animals like martens, with a narrow belt of grass around the body, to which they tie various tails of other animals which hang down to the knees; the rest of the body is bare, and so is the head.

Some of them wear garlands of birds’ feathers. They are dark in color, not unlike the Ethiopians, with thick black hair, not very long, tied back behind the head like a small tail".

Ancient DNA From Frozen Hair May Untangle Roots

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.320.5880.1146b

“We’ve blogged about EDAR before; Could it be hair form?, EDAR controls hair thickness and EDAR and hair thickness. The story here is simple, before the populations ancestral to the Native Americans had left eastern Asia a mutation on the EDAR gene swept nearly to fixation among these populations. The derived SNP in particular is correlated with the thicker hair typical of East Asians and Native Americans.”
https://www.gnxp.com/WordPress/2008...east-asians-native-americans-have-thick-hair/

“Most people of East Asian descent have thick, straight hair. This corresponds with a SNP (rs3827760) in the EDAR gene which is involved in hair follicle development. The ancestral allele of this SNP is the A-allele. The G-allele is the newly derived allele that leads to the thick, straight hair. In certain parts of Asia, almost all people have the G-allele (see Fig.1B). People with the GG genotype at this SNP have thicker hair compared to those with the AA genotype due to the modification of a single amino acid in the protein. Those with the AG genotype have hair slightly thinner than those with GG, but still thick when compared to Europeans and Africans (likely AA) [2, 3].

A recent genome wide association scan has found a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) called rs11803731 in the TCHH gene which accounts for about 6% of hair curliness. The TCHH gene encodes a protein called trichohyalin, which is known to be expressed at high levels in hair follicles and has been shown to be involved in the cross-linking of the keratin filaments found in hair. The ANCESTRAL allele of this SNP (the A-allele) is present in the worldwide population. Sometime during human history, a mutation lead to the emergence of the T-allele (called the derived allele in Fig. 1A). The T-allele causes an amino acid to change from leucine to methionine at position 790 of the TCHH gene.”
The adaptive variant EDARV370A is associated with straight hair in East Asians - PubMed


“Shovel shape of upper incisors is a common characteristic in Asian and Native American populations but is rare or absent in African and European populations. Like other common dental traits, genetic polymorphisms involved in the tooth shoveling have not yet been clarified. In ectodysplasin A receptor (EDAR), where dysfunctional mutations cause hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, there is a nonsynonymous-derived variant, 1540C (rs3827760), that has a geographic distribution similar to that of the tooth shoveling. This allele has been recently reported to be associated with Asian-specific hair thickness.”
[…]
In Asian and Asia-derived populations, dental variations have often been described as “Sinodonty” and “Sundadonty.” Sinodonty, common among East Asian and Native American populations, is a combination of dental characteristics that relatively often include upper first and second incisors (UI1 and UI2) that are shovel-shaped and not aligned with the other teeth, upper first premolars (UP1) with one root, and lower first molars (LM1) with three roots”


A Common Variation in EDAR Is a Genetic Determinant of Shovel-Shaped Incisors
