Descripción de C.R. Gibbs: "How Have Blacks Done Things For 500,000 Years?"

Hosted by Historian C.R. Gibbs "How Have Blacks Done Things For 500,000 Years?" Is There a Difference Between Black and African American?Learning how Blacks have done things for 500,000 years will go a long way to explaining why we do what we do today. I used to get confused between being Black and being African American. Is there a difference? I used to think I had to choose. I am physically and genetically who I am. I don't get to choose who my ancestors are. it's not a decision. What happened and the quicker we accept it the quicker we can stand in our own glory and stop borrowing other people's truth.What is an African American? Someone who identifies with their connection to Africa but has accepted their current citizenship as their home. They are integrated and an American who has a heritage based in Africa.That's a decision and not necessarily who they are. A peach can call itself an apple but that doesn't change the fuzz. What is Black? Being Black is acknowledging the entire global community of color that has family origins that trace back to the continent of Africa as one people. There are blacks all over the globe and not just in America just as there are Asians across the globe and Europeans. The differences that appear are all cultural, it's how they do things.
