have the african american been in american along time?

Question

i heard thay been in american longer than most white

Answer 1

of course, since slavery, every other race has. white people stole our ancestors from africa. they killed indians and were mean to evvery other race. white people really serously are very mean and racist, but although not all. they can be hurtfull though

Answer 2

The true Africans from Africa sold their family, friends, servants to anyone who would buy them. WHITE men did not STEAL them. Originally slaves were bought from the south Americans but found that they were too temper mental. African slaves showed to be the least resistant. Before that, the Irish were slaves to the English, the English to the barbarians etc. Every culture has been enslaved at one point or another, Black slavery is just the only one to be evident in AMERICA being it is one of the newer countries. Native Indians fought to much for their freedom to be tamed so they were never taken in. The settlers tried but it was just easier to buy slave from Africa. Besides not only the White Man bought black slaves.

Answer 3

To my knowledge they've been here as long as Europeans have.

To caz: wikipedia isn't that credible of a source. If you were to take a class that studies other cultures, you'd know that there are documented cases of African resistance. Europeans also put African tribes against each other through bribery and some violence so it wasn't pure willingness.

Answer 4

na the white people brought them over back in the 18th century
