Black people. Let me say this. I have nothing against Africans, black Africans, I have nothing against Africans. I have been to Africa. And I love Africa. But I have to ask this question. If we are from Africa exclusively, then why is it that black Americans dance differently, sing differently? We have a global culture that everyone and their uncle steal from? Why? Where's that global African culture? I do not see it. If we are exclusively from Africa, then why is it that they do not look like us, dance like us, sing like us, have a global culture like us? We have, we black Americans have invented thousands of things that we use every day. The traffic lights, the refrigerator, the washing machine, the shoe-making machinery, air conditioning, security systems, GPS, cell phones, microchips, computers, automatic transmissions. I could go on and on. Where are those culpable inventions by black African people? If we are exclusively from Africa, then why are we so different? I believe that Africa is the origin of all human life. I will never ever question that because I believe that. The main unequivocal conclusion from decades of genetic research confirms the African origin of all extented present modern humans. All non-Africans alive today trace their ancestry back to migration that originated in Africa between 50,000 and 60,000 BCE. So every group on the earth, every culture, every civilization descends from African people. Africa mothered us all. And here's why I believe they look, move, and create differently. The Out of Africa theory explains how early humans adapted to diverse environments as they migrated to different continents, adapting to different climates, landscapes, and ecosystems, which contributed to the development of various physical traits and cultural practices. Ten of thousands of years of environmental adaptation shaped skin tone, facial features, and body types. That biology responds to geography, not a different origin. The deeper point I'm trying to make here is black culture forged through Africa. The diaspora and the crucible of survival produce something the world has never been able to replicate. The African diaspora cultural contributions have had the most widespread and profound effect on world culture, encompassing music, literature, art, and religion. From jazz in these United States to reggae and calypso in the Caribbean, to Semba in Brazil, Africa, and the African diaspora continue to make a global impact on culture, society, touching music, food, art, sports, architecture, science, business, and agriculture. As Jason Reynolds powerfully framed it, black American culture serves as the oxygen of the world. Everyone else weaves it, hip hop alone reshaped the globe, jazz rebuilt it after wars, dance, language, style, spiritual death, black American people gave the world its cultural heartbeat. The descendants of those original black African migrants spread out, adapted, and built, yet none of them generated the cultural force with that same gravitational pull. That is the real answer to my question that we all exclusively come from Africa. The root produce the richest fruit, hardship, slavery, brutality, Jim Crow, drove black Americans to another level of consciousness, resilience, creativity, etc. etc. The richest fruit is produced by the root. I do not hate, I elevate.
