      Your teacher is paying attention! This is more accurate than I have ever seen in a classroom...not that there was much African history in my HS classes, in the 1990s! We need to see all of the racism BS, today, for what it is(political agenda) and move on from it for good. Classrooms require a balance of classic, medieval, and ancient history, from the entire world. It's a beginning of building respect and administration for people who are different, or even for your own people!

    I'm from the Congo "bakongo" few years ago my grandfather told us of his uncle and his uncles friend who traveled to do business in the neighboring town and never came back. They asked everyone in that neighboring town but they all said that they left few days ago, slave trade was very common during those times so the whole family feared that they've been taken. They never stopped searching for them and up until now my grandfather who's in his early 90s still asks us his grandkids to continue spreading this message hoping that one day he'll hear some good news.

    Your work is tremendous. Imagery is so powerful.

It penetrates the conscious as well as the subconscious mind.You explain the vastness and diversity and the beauty of African culture.You explain how the colonial powers were able to exploit this diversity to suit their own needs. The good,the bad and the ugly. Truthfulness in its purest form.A continent of such highly intelligent people capable of forming vast empires and kingdoms. A continent at constant conflicts with itself. Constant warfare. In essence no different than displayed throughout European and Asian history.I am glad that the narrator has the foresight to find out his maternal and paternal ancestry and then do diligent research to share with the rest of the world. Instilling in himself a greater sense of self, confidence and respect and accomplishment. And in turn embrace others who look like him without fear and trepidation at a subconscious and conscious level. As an African American am I just beginning to understand the profound psychological damage done to our people once they stepped upon America's shores.But there is hope for our people to repair the damage. It is going to be a long and painful process of trial and error. We cannot expect our people to be of sound mind and body simply through American mainstream institutions.After school the children of Muslims go to the mosque every day of the week. Same with the children of the Jewish people. They go to the synagogue. Where do our children go after school? Where do our children go on Sunday besides church. We must require our children,wherever they can congregate during their free time and immerse them in our history en masse at an early age as possible. Starting with tools such as these type of videos. Such images alone become part of the subconscious mind.Something that I observed while visiting Japan for three straight summers in the mid to late 1960s.Its ancient ceremonies and history incorporated into everyday life and activities even in the most subtle of ways. Things that Japanese children are exposed to at an early age. We must not allow our children to create in their minds solely the image of the "perp walk" and nothing else.

It would be simple to ignore such a misconception if it were merely held by the bigoted oppressors, but the racist historical experience has implanted the same negative self-evaluation in the minds of many Africans, and especially in the minds of the imitative African petty bourgeoisie.” I will forever quote this historian as well as author. He was assassinated...should assassins you ask you know.

    I am a naturalized Canadian originally from Nigeria. When I first moved to Canada there were not to many blacks in the province where I leaved. I could be in a store and be the only black person there. I remember visiting the US almost 10 years after I’d been living in Canada and seeing black people in Detroit. You should have seen me beaming from ear to ear. Just happy to see them. Some were probably freaked out at me. I felt like screaming ‘THESE ARE MY PEOPLE.’

    • @massagemodality366

      If you're black nobody from Detroit was freaked out by your presence. Black people are use to seeing other black people in a city like Detroit. Canada is not America and I believe the black population there is no more than 2 to 3 percent. and Though America has never been more than 13 percent black,. Detroit is a city that has a high concentration of black folks. So it would seem like there are more than a 12 to 13 percentage of blacks there and that we all live in Detroit, MI in the States, which isn't true. Where you land does have an impact on your perception.

When you live in a place where people gawk at you for how different you are everyday, to see a familiar face who's different like you is more comforting than you could ever know. It's not like OP is saying they were incapable of feeling love and empathy for all people, but that it was a relief to no longer be a spectacle among other people. To feel normal in any aspect is a blessing that isn't understood until you lose it.

As far as the creole language , while certain regions in Haiti speak creole a little more “ raw “ than others who speak it closer to French idk it’s definitely a broken French more than anything , one thing that’s funny though everywhere creole is spoken even African countries etc we can somewhat understand each other.

      Wrong my sister.

Christianity and Islam is not Black people's religions, that's why is important to know who is saviour and our Prophet, Mfumu Kimbangu Mvuluzi, through him all blacks will be blessed.

    I'm Mexican, but on my mother's side I have ancestry from the Angola/Congo region. In Veracruz, where my grandfather was from, there is an iconic heroe known as the "First Liberator of the Americas", Gaspar Yanga, whom I idolize the same as Pancho Villa or Emiliano Zapata. It is rumored, one of Mexico's greatest presidents, Vicente Guerrero, is of African descent. Guerrero abolishing slavery in Mexico in 1829 coincidentally I think further cements this claim.
