Therefore, I have the ability to confirm my African info that I present as I always encourage others to do and not just listen to me alone. I don’t feel comfortable unless a trustworthy older and conscious African verifies any information which I will cross-reference with others for further verification. And when verification is not immediate, I qualify my assertions.

I have a good sized African (and African-Diaspora) art collection that almost takes up half of my 2 car garage, my library and a few other parts of my pad -- and my first serious piece (a Luba headrest) was given to me as a gift by a Hausa elder over 60 years old who I met -- along with his good friend who is a Dogon elder over 60 -- through my Soninke bro (who speaks 13 languages) when we were in our early 30s years ago.

In part, it is significantly (not exclusively) through the Hausa and Yoruba that many multi-ethnic predominantly African African-Americans are connected to the classical African Nile Valley civilizations linguistically, culturally and spiritually on the African side of who we are as a people.

Thus, in both DNA and/or cultural instruction, many African-Americans also have an Afro-Asiatic heritage that we share with Kush, the Ancient Egyptians and their Coptic remnant through the African side of who we are in the same way that the West has its humanities from Greece and Rome significantly.

As regards general AAVs, the word “juju” (“magic, a charm, a spirit”) is of part Hausa and Baule origins; the word “hoodoo” is part Hausa and Fulani origins; the Gullah-Geechee word “tacky” (“horse”) comes from the Hausa word “doki” (“horse”); and the Gullah-Geechee word “bakkeh” (“black”) comes from the Hausa word “bakkih” (“black”).
