Black Americans descendants of plantation slaves are not African people. Black Americans are a NEW race of people born out of plantation slavery. Black Americans did not come from Africa. Only Africans were on those slave ships leaving Africa.

If the slaves was not Africans, where were the slaves shipped from, HARRY? That a question I want you to personally answer.
In respect to Mr. Imani that you are not hijacking this man’s blog and you send me to help you hijack his blog I will answer your question on my own blog I will post shortly titled after your question, “if the slaves were not Africans, where were they shipped from?”
My comment to Mr. Imani is an open and shut comment. Black Americans are not Africans. Black Americans are a NEW race of people. At the moment Black Americans has no celebration and when we do establish our first celebration it will be NEW and that celebration will be Resurrection Day. Resurrection day is the day that God anointed me, Black America’s first genuine prophet who will lead Black Americans into our sovereign country becoming a nation for the first time. Our country will be from the northern borders of North Carolina into the Gulf of Mexico and from the middle of the Mississippi River into the Atlantic Ocean!
Brother Imani, what drew my comment to HARRY was when the lyrics said in The first stanza about when our family comes together Africans from the diaspora. It is come clear that his Brother is one, who is clueless of what the diaspora is and who participated in that period of time in history.
As you saw, this Brother top advantage of your blog without mentioning anything about The topic or lyrics but he made sure to leave his calling card, because of a lack of interest on his blogs.
I personally enjoyed this video happy Kwanzaa as the voice fades in the background.
May God continue to bless you and that is yours and all that you do to bring our people closer to the truth One step at a time.
