I dare anyone to give me a percentage of AAs who claim those things. The only credible thing on that list is Cherokees and claiming Native ancestry in the AA community was only used by lighter complexioned people to explain away any European genetic influence in their phenotype as they didn't want to be associated with "rape." The rest is just silly. Ancient Egypt the average AAs will be like "look at them white washing the Egyptians when they know they were Black" but that's it.

Idolizing people like Michael Jordan or Floyd Mayweather is far more important to ADOS people my edge then claiming a bunch of dead cultures.

And you care because?

Even if true, what does this have to do with Africa?

Honestly the issue is that these forums are weaklt moderated and thus easily hijacked.

Or that the US is the biggest economy in the world. Modern Moroccans are poor and you should see the wretched conditions they live in in Europe as immigrants when they first arrive. I see it in Spain and they have the same problems throughout Europe. Lomé should are not only dead, their living descendants are being herded by Trump and placed in modern day concentration camps.

It sucks being third world, and those who can successfully get out do so.

But for those who invent false claims to Islam, they’re just stupid at this point when many Moors and other Muslims want to immigrate to the West to better their lives.

I'm on one of those groups they like me they don't like any Black Americans claiming their heritage. That about sums it up.


Of course not. Berbers are Caucasians from the east. If you visit Morrocco, many are mulattoes but that's a relatively new phenomenon resulting from slave trafficking in the 17 century. They also have a black minority with their music, but not Berbers. Berbers in the Atlas have the reputation of stunning blondes and red hairs.

Much better. They have money and success in the modern United States. People like Jay Z aren’t just entertainers, they are businessman and investors with hundreds of millions of dollars. Ditto someone like Oprah.

He’s right when he says the average AA admires these people far more than any dead culture.

Jay z, some one that raps about selling drugs, Mayweather is an amazing athlete but is also abusive to women and expresses himself in a rather vulgar manner. Hardly people one should idolize. There are much better people to admire in the AA community than these two.

Oprah is somebody worthy of admiriation, waaaaaaay more than the previous two.

Jay Z is a married man with a wife successful in her own businesses, plus two children. Oprah is not married, and no children.

As for talking about drugs, nearly every adult has done them in some form. Alcohol is a drug.

It’s also not up to you to dictate to the AA people who to admire. Mind your own business! I don’t give a damn about who Colombians admire
. You come from the world’s biggest producer of blow and you have the nerve to talk about Jay Z?
