Discussion on African American History

Majority of African Americans that lived here

were brought over here.

No.

No?

No, that's, that's not economically sound.

What do you mean by it's not economically sound?

Oh, so what I'm saying is,

people were already here. Does it make sense to go all the way to

this other continent to bring people on a boat when we know that half of your

stock is gonna die?

You wouldn't do that.

So how many people do you think were brought over from Africa on slave

ships?

'Cause that definitely happened.

Uh, I don't believe it.

What do you mean you don't believe it?

I don't believe that story. You think this whole land was empty?

No, there were natives here.

Right.

But today, we're taught that natives is some other people.

No, natives are the melanated African being

that has come here

since the, the, the, the beginning of the Mali Empire.

We're talking about 14, 13th century.

We had already come here from Africa.

Really?

Oh yeah, yeah. We had already come here.

You know, maybe people were brought over as slaves,

but I don't think

that the Black people in America came

from Africa on slave ships. I believe the people that were here

were slowly conquered. First they got the East Coast,

and then they started

spreading out west little by little conquering.

And when you conquer a tribe, what do you do? You enslave them.

They're POWs,

right?

Okay.

That's what you do.

But I'm still confused. Th- th- there's a great history of slave ships

being brought over from Africa.

History is his story.

Right.

What about my story?

Is my story not valid?

But if you do 23andMe

On who were here. From out, that they-

23andMe.

Well, that's

r- Either way, if you take Black people here in America-

Mm-hmm

... and you do they DNA sample, and it point back to Africa,

what does that say?

It says Black people in America are Africans.

Now, the argument is, were we brought here or

were we already here?

Did we bring ourselves here or did the white man bring us here?

You see, when you say the white man brought us

here, what you're doing is you're

removing our ability to

transport ourselves. You're saying, "Oh, we didn't know anything about boats."

That's what you're trying to tell me.

You're trying to tell me that we didn't know that there

was a land mass here.

Go look at the, the primary source. You got here, we met Black people.

We got to the Caribbean, we met Black people.

You think the Caribbean is right next to America,

and they weren't in America?

That's interesting. But-

Doesn't make any sense. I mean, when you go and you look at real

European history-

Mm-hmm

... would believe that if they took a bath, that was bad.

Right.

They didn't even wanna change their clothes.

They, they thought that dirty was purity.

When we talk about the Moors going into Spain and into Europe,

the stories in the history,

our history, says that when we met the so-called

Caucasian, he was sleeping in the barn with the

animals, and we told him, "No, you

can't sleep in the barn with the animals." We taught them etiquette.

We taught them running water. We brought that technology to Europe.

Now, if we brought the technology to Europe

that saved Europe from the

Black Plague,

you mean to tell me that if we saved the white race, that we

weren't already in America already?

When we brought the technology, when Rome was dependent on

Africa for food.

Remember when the Black Pr- Black Plague hit Rome, the

cause was one of the, uh, officials was

stealing the grain that was coming from Africa.

So there was famine hit Rome.

If your source of sustenance is from

Africa,

how are you superior?

You're not. You get your food from me.

So if you get your food from me, who's more likely to travel this

globe?

Me, I'm the source of food, and that's the first thing you need to

survive.
