So, moving within the USA is not migration. Actually, you have it all wrong. Migration means to move around, Immigration means the act of coming to your own country. Emigration means the act of leaving your own country even according to Dr Google.
Than you have to acknowledge that the Black Identity Discussion can be a form of seggregation. Jokes from comedians about white guys in baggies that rap are not funny, but hit Hip-Hop in its core. We all got shot at in the 70ies of New York by the same Klanmen in blue no matter the skin colour and this is what we all are supposed to forget.
Black Identity is important as much as Latino and Irish or Italo American identity, but only in the sense of heritage from the ancisters that build the USA. It helps to understand the American coltoure from Rap music to Meat Ball Bolognese. No African raps as much as no Italian will cook bolognese with meat balls. Well, the first might be more often than no minced meat and this shows that the Klan was very good in advertising a certain part of US coltoure.
Instead of claiming the Nigger word from all those that call themselves being still factual slaves of an abusive system that did not overcome slave farm owning financial power and seggregational forces of hate those of all parts of America should take back all power of definition form MTV and Co, like one of the most important pro 2nd Influencers and therefore the pop version of Malcom X is a black fella that makes sure gun ownership is no right wing white coltoure thing.
It does make a lot of sense to understand within Afro American communities to understand how these changed by moving north, especially considering Latinos doing the same move just from a different form of slavery. Most parts of Central America are victim and enslaved by The Wests drug addiction.
Every wanderlust and longing of the mother land will have to have an Afro American understand that the route is via the Carribian to Africa and visting Haiti or Burkino Faso will be a coltoural shock. You'll be The American with hardly any difference to all others limited to which sun cream they will suggest and hopefully it is not just a tourist trip, but the start of something very American.....having five jobs and taking an business opportunity when it crosses.
So, when you hit New Orleans to learn Creol, take a trip to Haiti and from there to Ivory Coast collecting Facebook contacts for LinkedIn groups.
PS: Do you consider it possible, that some of Afro Americans well could be Portugese Americans from as early as Christoph Columbus having hired onto a ship as sailors?
We did not wake up one day in Europe and decided slavery was a bad idea. We fight about that for thousands of years. Spartans, Barbarians, Pirates, Partisans. Persians, Romans, Slave Traders, Nazis. And both sides have no mercy. Promised. The fight just gets more brutal.
