I grew up with many who pretended to have African pride simply because their parents come from there and their surnames sold them out..these Africans have less pride in the homeland than a Chinaman.

There are 2 sides to this i can go as far as saying there are those with very African names and are as far from Africa as China.Names are important for an African but doesn't quantify their attachment for what Africa entails damn!!..we even have Africans not teaching their kids their native tongue
For the Diasporans reclaiming their name is a very personal emotive experience they have come to the point where they say I want to reconcile and you can see that through reading @pheno09's post
You have raised a Thread on this but it got ignored we need to have one of them Reconciliation conferences with Caribbeans and Africans...YT people suddenly now have a short memory and blame us for Slavery so its up to us to sort out this mess

Africa where African-Americans must never be encouraged to see as home but rather as a dungeon from which the generous white man brought them out.
