Hey, I forgot to mention earlier "Axis" that I know about slave history in America, but I just want to understand some understandings/perceptions Africans may have about African Americans aka blacks.

Africa is not a nationality it's the name of a continent, this continent is named after a man named (Leo Africanus)

There has never been A ONE UNIFIED GROUP WHO IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES BY THE TERM BLACK that's a European Racist creation, So is the Myth of an "AFRICAN PEOPLE".

The ancient Hebrews, Egyptians, Ethiopians, or Libyans never spoke of a place called Africa even though those people were indigenous to that continent. The word Africa is foreign to many of the indigenous people living there today, that's because the name Africa is From the Latin language. Latin was the language of the Romans, Leo Africanus was Roman, they called that land mass Africa, in honor of their military general who defeated Hannibal in the Punic wars.

The joining of all black skin people into one group was done by European Racist.

In Order to deny the truth, they created a lie. They took one indigenous tribe in Africa who still had traditional or what they call primitive culture and said this is how ALL black skin people are. They all wear plates in the lips, swing from trees, don't have a written language etc.

Africa is not a tribe, country, language or nationality, Africa is the name of a continent. It's the 2nd largest land mass in the world. It has 53 countries with many different people, languages and cultures. Africa is not a nationality because there's not a country on earth name Africa, so you can't refer to a group of people as African in reference to their national origin. The Ancient Egyptians, Nubians, Hebrews and other people who are indigenous to that continent, never mentions a place called Africa. And that's because the name Africa is Latin in it's origin.

The name comes from the Romans who spoke Latin. Africa has become synonymous with black and black skinned people, for the simple reason that the majority of the people who reside on that continent are black skinned. And the majority of the black skinned people around the world have some kind of ancestral ties to that continent. But all of this still doesn't change the fact that Africa is the name of a CONTINENT NOT A RACE OR GROUP OF PEOPLE.

By doing this they said the ancient Egyptians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, couldn't have been black, because they could write and build great things, so they lumped all black skin people together and called us African, black, and Negroes. They called the Egyptians, Ethiopians and Hebrews, white. Even though as scripture tells us the Egyptians & Ethiopians were brothers both descendants of Ham. The name Ethiopia means burnt or black face.

No aplicability to Obama.

African or not, if you were taught in an American school system, and paid attention then you should know about it.
