We were once great. We had our indigenous culture. We had our language. We had our customs. We had strong families. We had strong villages/communities. We did not live in the shadows of other races. We were confident in our looks, our nature our psychology. Etc
America changed all those things as a result of oppression. We went from being Kunta Kinte.....to being Tobe.

Reason: Changed title
50 years since the Civil Rights Act, and blacks in this country are still at a severe disadvantage.
Sad, but true. Honestly I don't even know how to fix the problem.
They can take responsibility for their families and put education at the top of their priorities.
That helps lift everyone of all races out of poverty.
An Educated Black has a lot of opportunities in the US that's not open to me as a White man. They are given priority in many hiring situations.

I am not a denier of some institutional racism in this country, but I am also a believer of doing for oneself. Please don't wait for someone else to make your life what you think it should be.
If you long for traditional African culture, a new continent awaits.

You have 2 opposing thoughts here. I'm presuming that you mean the people who we now call African American had all of these attributes before being forcefully taken from Africa and enslaved in the Americas, yes? You are also trying to tag onto the white supremacist MAGA movement with Maaga but I'm not sure how that works???

Yes...they are opposing thoughts. MAGA is a reaction to MAAGA, or the symbolic appearance of MAAGA...aka...the first black president.

You make a lot of assumptions.
