The truth is finally unfolding,
By
This review is from: The Black American Handbook for Survival through the 21st Century. Volume 1: The Forgotten Truth Behind Racism in America (Paperback)
This book is an amazing, eye opening book. This book pioneered a new area of research!
A large amount of so called black Americans have stories of American Indian mothers or grandmothers. These stories are largely ignored by black American families who see themselves as not being American Indian but African. The only link they have to being African is that an ancestor was labeled negro at one point in their history. This book points out that the world "Negro" only refers to dark-skinned people, it does NOT refer to any country of origin. If you start doing your research you find that between 1492 and 1651 a large number of Indian slaves were taken. If you do even more research you find that any Indian captured "against the united states" was sent to the Caribbean, the same place that slaves were being shipped to the new world!! (a side note: very few, if any, africans landed directly onto North America, all africans landed in the Carribean first, then were shipped out to SOUTH America) Kidnapped/Captured Indians would leave their land Indian, take a boat ride to the Carribean and then Show up in their land as a Negro slave! Entire peoples were being labeled "colored" or negro like the Appalachians and Nanticoke! And lets not forget the one-drop rule....so if you looked too dark, you were labeled a Negro, plain and simple, but all eastern woodland Indians (the first to be seen by a european) were dark-skinned, and would be hence labeled colored or Negro by the one-drop rule! As for the other reviewer, you are either Amerindian or African. If you are African, then call up your home country in that continent and ask them to pay for your relocation to your homeland and give you full citizenship to your rightful homeland (not residency) as Israel does for their displaced. For those of us who have no political or land connection to africa, we are American Indian and poud of it. Other Books to Read: -Africans and Native Americans: The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples -The Olmecs -The MoundBuilders Get reading! Get Writing!
