To Calimar: "If only blacks would go back to Africa". Dude your statement makes no sense. How long has your family been here? 100 years maybe? If you are not native shut t f up. The blacks in America would not know where to go in Africa. They have no sense of language, no sense of african culture. besides most are mixed with the blood of the slave master. I am happy to say that most blacks in America go back to the 1600's when this country was founded. But you would not know that. LOL

America (not all but quite a bit) doesn't like to acknowledge anything wrong they did in the past. Well it is human nature, even though it is a mental flaw.

They want to remember themselves as perfect little angels who did no wrong. I am ashamed to be an American quite often by some of these people.

I am all for learning about past mistakes and move on, but apparently America and sometimes the world just doesn't work that way. :\

@CommanderC4

I said all BLACK people come from Africa... yes..because they do. Funny that. I didnt say ALL PEOPLE because it wasnt relevant to make that point in my response. The tacit implications you refer to are erroneous assumptions on your part. Regards your final comment, l actually spoke of what is 'referred to as the Black African race' hence I made no definition of race. That final sentence seems a bit flaky, wish to expand on that at all?

[CommanderC4]

@loveofkemet Africa is called the cradle of life, the cradle of civilization is in Iraq between the Tigris and the Euphrates. And yes all humans did in fact come from Africa, however that is not what you were arguing. You said all BLACK people come from Africa, not all people; purposely excluding other races. Thereby tacitly implying that all black people are from Africa wherein whites and other natives are not. And FYI, "black" is not a race as you said. It is a color inherent to some races.

@CommanderC4

They are definitely from Africa. Research will show you that what is referred to as the Black African race is the original people of Earth, and all races of Earth descend from those children of (what is now called Africa). As this race spread across the world genetic mutations brought about the variations in 'race' we see today. ;Cradle of Civilisation' isnt used lightly, all of humanity including the natives you are referring to, came from (the land now called) Africa

[CommanderC4]

@loveofkemet No, you are incorrect. The blacks in the America were indeed typically of African decent, however the darker skin colors are far more prevalent in native peoples all across the world. There were "black people" in China and Australian that did not come from Africa any more than white people did. Ever heard of the Aborigines?

[rachelabombdotcom]

Maybe a memorial for slavery should be erected on the coast of Africa where slaves were sold to all who docked by THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

@loveofkemet Its AF-RI-CA, not AF-R-ICA. And you're a racist. Your narrow mind is an automatic pitfall.
