AFRICANS VISITED AMERICA 2000 YEARS BEFORE COLUMBUS , 11 UNDENIABLE PROOFS ; Black History.
11 Reasons Tp Prove That Africans Were in America 2000 years Before Colombus.
Let me take you on a journey through some of these fascinating pieces of evidence of African presence in America 2000 years before Columbus. Take them with a grain of salt if you have to, but I think they are worth some consideration.
1. Olmec Heads: The colossal stone heads created by the Olmec civilization in present-day Mexico, which date back to 1500 BCE to 400 BCE, feature distinctly African facial features. These heads feature facial features such as broad noses, full lips, and round faces that clearly resemble those of Africans more than the indigenous populations of the Americas. Tell me this is not a black man right there. The detailed and realistic nature of the Olmec heads suggests they were based on real individuals. It is no wonder not surprising that some researchers contend that these features indicate an African presence in pre-Columbian America.
2. African Artifacts in the Americas: Artifacts such as cotton from Africa and tobacco pipes found in pre-Columbian sites in South America have led some to speculate about transatlantic contact. In addition, metal artefacts with similar metallurgical techniques to those used in West Africa have been found in pre-Columbian American sites.

Before the next point kindly give us a like. I know to you it’s a simple click, but to us it means a lot.
3. Botanical Evidence: Certain plants like the bottle gourd and the sweet potato are thought to have originated in Africa and Asia but were present in pre-Columbian America, suggesting possible ancient transoceanic contact.
4. Linguistic Evidence: Some linguists claim to have found similarities between certain Native American languages and African languages. Some proponents argue that there are similarities between ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and symbols found in Mesoamerican writing systems, such as those of the Maya. The Mandinka word “makala,” meaning “rice,” is compared to the similar-sounding words in some Native American languages.
Dr. Clyde Winters points to shared vocabulary and phonetic similarities, such as the word “yu” in Mandinka meaning “to give” and a similar-sounding word in the Olmec language with the same meaning.
Leo Wiener, in his early 20th-century work “Africa and the Discovery of America,” cited examples such as the Wolof word “tem” (to cut) and its similarity to the Algonquian word “temagun” (an axe).
5. THOR HEYERDAHL’S RAFT EXPERIMENTS: The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl demonstrated with his expeditions (Kon-Tiki and Ra) that it was possible to travel across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans using ancient boat-building techniques, suggesting that such voyages could have occurred in ancient times.
6. Ancient Maps: Some historical maps, such as the Piri Reis map, allegedly show parts of the American continent with a level of detail suggesting pre-Columbian exploration, potentially by African or other non-European civilizations.
7. Skull Analysis: Studies of certain skeletal remains, such as the Luzia Woman found in Brazil, have shown features that some anthropologists argue resemble those of African or Australoid populations rather than Native American populations.
8. Accounts from Early European Explorers: Some early European explorers, such as Vasco Núñez de Balboa, reported encountering dark-skinned peoples in the Americas upon their arrival.
9. Cultural Similarities: Some researchers point to cultural parallels between African and American civilizations, such as pyramid building, similar religious practices, and iconography, as potential evidence of contact.
10. Presence of Black peoples in Asia, Australia and the Pacific. If Black people can be found in as far as the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia many Islands in the Pacific, why can’t they be found in the Americas? I mean it makes no sense for the Americas to be the exception right?
11. Genetic Studies: While controversial and not universally accepted, some genetic studies have indicated the presence of haplogroups in Native American populations that are also found in African populations, suggesting ancient intermingling.

The Choctaw are not Native to the Great Lakes. The French allied with them in Alabama and some followed them into Louisiana and what is now Arkansas.

I grew up mostly in the Chicagoland area and did not learn Chicago had a Black founder until I got to college! I learned it from a movie I watched, not in any history class.

Chicago is Italian meaning "I pooped there." It is not shortened word. That area was specifically settled by Italian settlers to the new world. Italians used to be black as Italy was descendants of West Africa not Caucasoid as they have you believe.

It was said that he built an elaborate cabin, trading post, bakery, and etc. Surely he did not build the entire estate by his hands alone. Did he use enslaved blacks to build his wealth?

Biden honored a KKK member who was a pig; he was so hateful. He was Biden’s best friend in the Senate named Robert C Byrd and held a special title in the Klan which was Exalted Cyclops. Biden eulogized him with kind words. My question is would you vote for Biden if you knew he associated with a klan member? Every word is true and easy to verify. Get your local press to verify this true story.

My Great Grandmother, who was born in the late 1800s is of The Choctaw Tribe and she was darker than you me and the man you’re discussing in this video, all put together. Those you so-called Choctaw are actually called $5 Indians. They are not from my Great Grandmother’s tribe.
Also, The Choctaw are not from the Great Lakes region, they are from the Louisiana area and region , where my great grandmother is from.
Just correcting the facts, for we all stand corrected about something.

Please continue what you have started!!

Now I understand why there are So many gang related shootings. I knew a black man had done something extremely major in Chicago. Because the news portrays Chicago as a place of bad black people shooting up folks like a wild wild western place! when we know the large population not even black.

Melinated people lived in America (Amaru) and Europe long before Caucasians took over. African Americans are mostly a mixture of native(who were dark) and Moorish blood. Moors ruled Europe long before the indo Europeans took over

The first known reference to the site of the current city of Chicago as "Checagou" was by Robert de LaSalle around 1679 in a memoir. Henri Joutel, in his journal of 1688, noted that the wild garlic, called "chicagoua", grew abundantly in the area.

Henri Joutel, in his journal of 1688, noted that the wild garlic, called "chicagoua," grew abundantly in the area. Jean Baptiste did not create the city; he was the first resident who was not of the land. There is so much misinformation about this. Also, John Baptiste showed up there in 1780; it was already a city before then. William B. Ogden
Chicago's first mayor, William B. Ogden (1837–1838), was a founding father not only of the city (because he wrote its first charter) but of the Chicago & North Western Railway, and was a principal in the nation's first transcontinental railroad. The first known reference to the site of the current city of Chicago as “Checagou” was by Robert de La Salle around 1679 in a memoir.
