"Its not uncommon to meet African people who are born in the United States or in the Caribbean who would react negatively to being called Africans". This explains how our history got erased because we are orginally from Africa but we were forced to come to America. Therefore people today call themselves Black Americans because they are not "from" or "born" in Africa. Also the article states how we are confused on national and ethnic identities. This means that some of our history is either missing or stolen. So Today our history is blended in with our culture and with the European way. Therefore we do not know what is ours or something part of a another culture. ]]> 2020-10-02 18:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/d5yvkt1nmk9bb2p2/wish/798674881 Amare Weatherspoon https://padlet.com/wvweaver/d5yvkt1nmk9bb2p2/wish/798677022 This article connects to double consciousness because African Americans technically do not like being called "African American "]]> 2020-10-02 18:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/d5yvkt1nmk9bb2p2/wish/798677022 Zhariya Brown znbrown https://padlet.com/wvweaver/d5yvkt1nmk9bb2p2/wish/798677496 The article connects to double consciousness because of how they tell us that as Black Americans our identity is stripped away and we are taught that the continent of Africa is actually poor and theres nothing exciting about it. They also tell us how we are taught to hate ourselves hence why black people dont like to be called African American. The text states, ¨Black American´s are taught to hate themselves which makes them not like being called African American making them not claiming their identity¨]]> 2020-10-02 18:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/d5yvkt1nmk9bb2p2/wish/798677496 Gervais Willis gdwillis https://padlet.com/wvweaver/d5yvkt1nmk9bb2p2/wish/798678588 The article connects to Dubois' concept of Double Consciousness because Africans didn't want to be taken from their homeland. This connects to the fact why some black people don't agree with the name African-American because they weren't born any where near Africa and don't even know about the African culture. The text states "If anything, we actually lost a better standard of living by being taken to America." They feel as though they were stripped of life after being taken, that it lowered their standards of life and culture. It also states "The many African kingdoms that I listed above are largely unknown to many people of African descent, yet those same people would have gone to schools that taught them much about European civilizations such as Greece, Rome." This shows how many people aren't taught anything about African culture because in schools we're taught about white cultures and societies just because they are the majority of the country. It affects the way blacks see themselves and question their own culture since they know nothing about their culture.
